He Was Shining With The Stars Chapter 41: Accidental Death

Translator: Léon
Neither Ye s.h.i.+wei nor Li Haina was very much a drinker.

With the empty bottle on the table, the two of them lay askew on the big and luxurious sofa.

It now resembled very much like the past, when they were still innocent adolescent girls and tended to booze over exaggerated sadness after being rejected by their beloved boys.

Li Haina staggered to the wine cabinet and opened another bottle of wine.

When she walked back to the sofa, she even almost had a fall.

She poured two gla.s.ses of wine and handed one to Ye s.h.i.+wei. She leaned over and murmured in her ear.

“Are you really thinking Mu Tingchen likes you?”

It gave Ye a start.

She had gone through all process of the previous repelling and refusal and the later fear, and now she had been deeply trapped in the love for him. However, she had never asked herself this question.

It was true that Mu treated her differently, but was it because of temporary novelty or true love …

She never asked, but she didn't dare to ask, either.

She said nothing and lay quietly on the sofa.

What came next was Li's hysterical mockery.

Her voice of ridicule echoed in the room.

“Ye s.h.i.+wei, you are just so stupid! What kind of person is Mu Tingchen? How could he like you? Wake up! He's just attracted by your innocent student-like look and thinks you are different from those frivolous women outside. You really think you have such a great charm that you can seize such an excellent man's heart?! It's never gonna happen! Haha.”

But it was never Li's humiliation that swayed her mind. She lacked confidence in their relations.h.i.+p in the first place.

If one day even Mu was to discard her, she really didn't know what to do.

Because of alcohol, all sensations struck her in a magnified scale. She burst into tears while drinking.

Li had a glance at her and snubbed her with contempt.

“What a loser!”

“Haven't you ever thought about it? If he's really a man of moral integrity, how could he maintain such a twisted relations.h.i.+p with you while he knows you're his niece? He's just a heartless hard-a.s.s, I'm telling you. Or how could he make such big achievement and own such great wealth when he's only so young? Just think about it.”

Ye wiped her eyes and rebuffed.

“Then why are you trying desperately to marry into Family Mu?”

“We're two different kinds of person.” Li snorted coldly. “You were born a princess. How can you understand what we poor children are thinking? I've had enough of poverty and know what it feels like. I won't let my life fall back to the past. I have to keep walking my way up.”

“Humph, to be able to justify and glorify your greed like this, I'm afraid I could find no one else in the world except you this scourge.”

Time flied, and the two girls grew more and more sentimental under the influence of alcohol. There was now less usual hostility but more openness.

Later that night, Ye kept calling Mu's name while Li kept mocking her, saying she was overestimating her own strength.

It wasn't quiet until they both fell deep asleep.

Ye didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The moment she opened her eyes, she felt a pungent smell of blood, which made her cough.

“Ahem …”

“Li …”

The moment she turned around and saw Li Haina, the latter part of her name got stuck in her throat and almost suffocated her.

Her upper body leant against the sofa, her eyes were wide open, her face was pale, and there was a knife stabbing in her stomach, with blood all over the floor.

It happened all like thunderclap, making Ye's mind directly go blank.

She looked around, sweating with great fear.

Who killed Li Haina? What the f.u.c.k had happened?

But she could only find fear in the huge villa.

She sat on the sofa, trembling.

After retrieving her senses, she held her breath and leaned over to probe Li's breath.

She could not feel a single breath.

Ye collapsed on the sofa, surrounded by great fear.

“Li Haina!”

She couldn't believe what she saw now. She grabbed her arm and kept shaking.

“Li Haina, wake up! Li Haina! Don't scare me, okay?! h.e.l.lo! It isn't funny! Wake up!”

No matter how hysterical Ye shouted, Li remained motionless, with her blank eyes staring at midair.

“Li Haina … you f.u.c.king b.i.t.c.h … you … you f.u.c.king wake up.”

In the end, Ye couldn't help calling her in a hoa.r.s.e voice with all her previous resentment and grudges shed, “Nana …”

Ye had used to call her like this for more than ten years -- from primary school to middle school, and to high school …

Ye pinched herself hard, hoping all had happened was just a dream.

The pain dragged her back to reality.

Her heart was broken, with infinite sorrow gnawing all her internal organs.

She had thought she hated Li Haina, and she even wanted her to die for countless times.

But when she truly died, Ye felt fully deflated as she suddenly had no idea where to vent her hatred.

She raised her hand awkwardly and slowly closed Li's eyes with her stiff fingers.

But just at this moment, while Ye was still in a daze by the sofa, Li Dakai had somewhen entered the house.

He had spent last night drinking with the old shareholders of Business Ye, trying his best usurp Ye Kang'an's rest shares in Business Ye.

But as soon as he entered the house, he was approached by a strong smell of blood.

Walking through the porch, he saw Ye s.h.i.+wei, who was covered with blood in the living room, and Li Haina, who was lying on the sofa beside her.

Li's heart thudded and he walked quickly towards Li Haina, but the closer he was, the slower he was.

The closer he got, the stronger the smell of blood.
