Xiao Ying was shocked when she heard this name.
Could it be the same Cheng Yang she was thinking of?!
“Yes, Master.”
Sensing Xiao Ying’s thoughts, the amulet’s mechanical voice sounded again.
At this moment, Xiao Ying’s hope was completely shattered.
Her heart, which had been burning with excitement because of the amulet’s ability, instantly turned cold.
As a machine, the amulet could not understand Xiao Ying’s feelings. It continued, “Master, as long as you are within one meter of the man, I can collect his energy. The closer you are to him or the more intimate your actions become, the more energy I can collect.”
Xiao Ying was curious. “How do you collect energy? Will it do any harm to Cheng Yang?”
“No, Master. The energy I need is Cheng Yang’s aura.”
“Oh,” Xiao Ying replied weakly.
Although she had not had direct contact with Cheng Yang in her previous life, just hearing about him made her shudder.
He had dominated the business world at the age of 20.
His ruthlessness became a taboo in upper-class society.
In her previous life, before Xiao Ying died, she had known that Cheng Yang had become a serial killer.
He seemed to have sent evidence to the police station himself.
The police had then solved the case.
Xiao Ying’s little body trembled. This person was too terrifying.
She had given up completely.
She shuddered at the thought of Cheng Yang.
Putting aside the fact that she couldn’t get in touch with him now…
If she really met him, she might cry from fright, let alone be able to get close to him.
“Master, I’m about to run out of energy. I’ll wake up when you come into contact with the man.”
The last two words of the amulet sounded like they were forced out.
There was no sound.
“An amulet?”
Xiao Ying called twice but received no response.
She hesitated. Should she give it a try?
Even ignoring the power of the amulet, she could not bear to see her only companion fall asleep.
Xiao Ying recalled that in her previous life, the only time she had seen Cheng Yang was at the Wang family’s banquet one year.
Xiao Ying quickly took out her calendar and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the Wang family’s banquet marked on it.
Luckily, she had missed it.
She really wouldn’t be able to see Cheng Yang.
Just then, she noticed the date marked with a red pen on the calendar.
It was tomorrow.
Her tenth birthday.
Recalling everything that had happened at the banquet in her previous life, Xiao Ying’s eyes turned cold.
She would never let them have their way again.
She carefully recalled what had happened at the banquet in her previous life.
She did not dare to leave out anything as she went over it in her mind.
Xiao Ying still remembered the humiliation from that day.
The Xiao couple had wanted to pave the way for their biological daughter.
She had deliberately had her reputation ruined in front of everyone.
Just to make her look naughty and uncultured.
From then on, she had been the laughing stock of the upper-classes.
It was when Xiao Ruoxuan returned.
The image that the Xiao couple had created for her was even more worthless.
Xiao Ying sneered.
They would settle their scores tomorrow.
The next morning, the Xiao couple was surprised to see Xiao Ying coming downstairs for breakfast.
Following their deliberate indulgence, Xiao Ying would always wake up at noon.
Why was she so early today?
Xiao Ying glanced at the two shocked people.
In her previous life, they deliberately had not woken Xiao Ying up in order to make her show up at the banquet in a panic.
They had even told everyone that she was late because she slept until noon.
She had been mocked for being unruly.
She would never give them another chance in this lifetime.
Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Ying with a warm smile and quickly arranged a set of cutlery for her.
“Why so early today?”
Xiao Ying smiled shyly. “It’s my birthday today. I was too excited and couldn’t sleep.”
Madam Xiao and Xiao Lingbo looked at each other.
Xiao Lingbo laughed and said, “Seems my lazy pig still has days when she can’t sleep.”
The family happily finished their breakfast.
Madam Xiao suddenly said that there was something wrong with Xiao Ying’s gown and that she needed to change.
Xiao Ying looked at Madam Xiao’s anxious expression and sneered.
There was indeed something wrong with this gown. In her past life, it had fallen apart in front of everyone.
But Madam Xiao had brought it up just to stall for time.
They really wanted her to be late.
It was almost time for the banquet.
