Title: The OOC Villainess and the White Moonlight Heroine are BFFs

Chapter 3 - The plot has drastically changed! (1)
The system didn't accept Yue Xia's suggestion and ruthlessly stuffed her into a side door.
Compared to the liveliness at the entrance, this place was so quiet that it seemed like a different world. While hiding, Yue Xia asked, "Where do you want me to go?"
The system said: [Go to the studio to change the video, that'll completely ruin the engagement party.]
Yue Xia took one step forward. This was her first time attending an engagement party, and it turned out to be for such a role. She sighed.
The system was satisfied that she submitted to the circumstances and took the initiative to ask: [What's wrong?]
Yue Xia: "It's just a pity."
[Although it's bad to ruin a marriage, desperate times call for desperate measures. Host, you don't need to feel any psychological burden, this is just…]
"Falling from the ceiling HVAC is much more impressive than secretly changing out the video." Yue Xia suddenly had a thought, but her expression was serious. "And then I can smack Shi Qingyin's rotten head off with a shovel. That'd be way cooler…"
The system: [?]
Yue Xia was moved by emotion. "You should consider it again."
The system's only answer: [I can't break you out of the handcuffs from a police officer.]
"..." Never mind. Yue Xia's face fell, and she nimbly turned a corner and entered a small room. A man passing in the hallway seemed to feel something, but when he looked, he only saw a flash of drifting hair.
"Older brother," Shi Qingyin loosened his tie and asked, "What's wrong? Who did you see?'
Shi Yunjian's eyes paused slightly. He thought for a moment and answered, "it's nothing."
Shi Yunjian was wearing a formal black suit without any embellishment. He was buttoned all the way to the top, and there was a small, light-colored mole on his neck. He and Shi Qingyin were clearly half-brothers, but when they stood next to each other, they looked like polar opposites. He was cold and indifferent to the point of being a bit robotic.
"Older brother, it's my big day. Can you at least show a smile?" Shi Qingyin tossed away his tie and smoothly said, "I don't know if I was too excited last night. I had a nightmare last night that Yue Xia, that crazy woman, would come to the engagement party and throw a fit. F*ck, I broke out in sweat."
Shi Yunjian didn't stop walking and only indifferently said, "Even if she really comes, you're just reaping what you sowed."
"?" It had been a long time since someone dared to disagree with Shi Qingyin. He frowned and was about to erupt in anger, but he suppressed his anger. "You don't understand. You just came back from abroad. You don't understand how that woman…"
Shi Yunjian turned his face partially and calmly interrupted him, "You owe her."
Shi Qingyin: "..."
He was stared at by those clear, fathomless eyes. It felt like he was being seen through. His guilty conscience welled up. He gulped and irritably said, "Can't you stop talking about that?!"
Shi Yunjian glanced at him and looked away without commenting.
Shi Qingyin secretly cursed.
Even after many years, he was still a wimp. Seeing his older brother was like seeing a ghost.

Yue Xia was unaware that she had missed out on seeing a monkey performing and was looking for the video.
This video would be played in front of the guest at the beginning of the ceremony. The system had prepared another video of Shi Qingyin's mosaic R-rated activities. Yue Xia couldn't see the specific content, but it probably wasn't anything good.
Jiang Shuyao had the flavor of a white lotus in old-fashioned novels. She looked very pitiful and was unusually gullible. She could believe anyone's words, no matter how outrageous it was. She was easily deceived by people's sad stories. To put it in a bad way, she was a holy mother.
Even in the later period of the novel, when her body and heart had been ravaged to such a bad state, she still didn't change. In order to get her back, Shi Qingyin knelt in the heavy rain while drinking alcohol. He ended up staying in a luxurious ICU bed for three days.
Yue Xia thought that was the beginning of his long journey in begging Jiang Shuyao for forgiveness. She absolutely wouldn't have expected that was all he needed to do.
That's right, that's all it took for Jiang Shuyao to forgive him!
Yue Xia was having a hard time rummaging for the video. She and the system didn't hear the quiet, approaching footsteps. By the time she noticed, it was too late.
She met Jiang Shuyao's beautiful, bright, and clear eyes. Jiang Shuyao didn't seem to know how to react either and said in surprise, "Ah, you're…"
Sure enough, the photo was very different from the real person. Jiang Shuyao stood there as if she came with her own all-natural beauty photo filter. She was beautiful without any sense of aggression. Yue Xia paused. Her body moved before her brain. "Shh."
Jiang Shuyao instinctively tightly closed her lips. Her eyes were filled with fear and worry.
"..." Little girl, pay more attention. Yue Xia sternly pointed outside. "Look!"
Jiang Shuyao looked to the right. The hallway was empty. When she turned back to look, there was nothing in front of her. The young woman wearing a mask blew past her like a gust of wind. Her sprinting speed almost caught up to Usain Bolt’s.
Jiang Shuyao stood there in a daze.
