Busy in her own beautiful dreams, Li Xiaolu didn't even realize when her younger sister, Li Roulan and her best friend Meng Xuimin entered her room. Startled by the noise, Li Xiaolu turned and smiled at them. "Roulan, Xuimin you guys are here. See my wedding dress, isn't it beautiful?", Li Xiaolu asked as she pointed towards her wedding dress.
" Hmm... It is indeed the most beautiful wedding dress, I have ever seen in my whole life," Li Roulan praised as she walked over towards the dress. "What do you think Xuimin?"
"Yes! This dress is a masterpiece. And now I feel so jealous of you. I also want a beautiful wedding dress for me in the future, " Meng Xuimin whined.
Li Xiaolu laughed. "Hey, hey, you don't have to be jealous about it. I will also create your wedding dresses for you. And I promise that your wedding dresses will be much more beautiful than mine."
Hearing that, Li Roulan chuckled. Carefully tracing over the edge of the dress she smiled, "Elder sister, you don't have to trouble yourself over this. You have already created my wedding dress for me."
Huh?

Li Xiaolu was confused.Seeing a confused expression on her face, Li Roulan and Meng Xuimin looked at each other and smirked. Walking towards Li Xiaolu, Meng Xuimin placed her hand on Li Xiaolu's shoulder and asked, "Xiaolu why do you look so confused?"
"What wedding dress are you both talking about? When... when did I create a wedding dress for you?"
"Elder Sister, how can you be so forgetful! Isn't this my wedding dress?" Li Roulan asked with a wronged expression as she pointed towards the wedding dress.
Huh?
Why is Li Roulan speaking like this? That is clearly her wedding dress. Li Xiaolu was completely confused but soon she understood that these guys were trying to joke with her. With a small chuckled she said, "Okay, enough. You guys are so bad at creating jokes."
"Xiaolu we are not joking with you. That is Li Roulan's wedding dream and today is her wedding." Meng Xuimin said.
Removing Meng Xuimun's hands from her shoulder Li Xiaolu rolled her eyes, "Ohh... so this is her wedding dress and today is her wedding day. Now let me guess, the next thing you are going to say is that your groom is Chen Yufan."
"Exactly!" Meng Xuimin smiled.
"Elder Sister, today is my wedding with Brother Yufan. Everybody knows about it. You didn't receive my wedding invitation?" Li Roulan asked innocently.
"Tsk... tsk... Roulan did you forget? We can't invite a dead person to a wedding." Meng Xuimin advised.
Listening to them, Li Xiaolu frowned. "Roulan, Xuimin, even if you want to joke but this is too much. C'mon now, enough of all this nonsense. I need to get ready." Li Xiaolu said.
"Roulan looks like she still didn't understand. How about we show her?" Meng Xuimin smirked. Li Roulan nodded and called loudly, "Guards".
On cue, four bulky guards entered the room. Li Xiaolu was completely shocked by seeing them entering her room. What the hell was happening here?
"Roulan..., " Li Xiaolu shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Why have you called the guards here?"
"You will soon understand everything, my dear elder sister," Roulan smirked. "Guards, grab that bitch and drag her away.", Li Roulan ordered coldly. The guards walked towards Li Xiaolu and grabbed her both arms tightly. Feeling the pain in her arms, Li Xiaolu cried out, " Leave me! Roulan what are you doing? I am your elder sister..."
She struggled hard as the guards held her arms when she saw Roulan walking up to her."Roulan what are you - "
PAK!! A hard slap fell on her cheek. Baffled, Li Xiaolu looked at her younger sister not believing that she had slapped her. For a few seconds, Li Xiaolu was in complete shock. Looking up, she saw her little sister smiling towards her. "You... you... R-roulan... you slapped me. How could - "
PAK!! Another slap landed on her cheek. Li Xiaolu cried when her chin was forcefully gripped by Li Roulan, that even her nails were piercing in her skin. She was forced to look up at her little sister's face. Li Xiaolu was stunned. There was so much hatred, so much anger, so much jealousy and so much evil in Li Roulan's eyes. This was not her little sister. This was not the little Roulan she knew.
On the other hand, Li Roulan gripped Li Xiaolu's chin tightly and sneered, "You are a very bold servent! How dare you call your master's name, Li Xiaolu? I am the eldest daughter of the Li family, you have to address me as Miss Li. Do you get it, bitch?"
Servant?
Master?
The eldest daughter of the Li family is me then what is Roulan talking about?
"Roulan what are talking? I am your elder sister, the eldest daughter of the Li family. Leave me! Today is my wedding..." Li Xiaolu screamed madly as she struggled hard against the guards.
"You bitch!!" Li Roulan spat coldly as she raised her hand to slap Li Xiaolu but suddenly Meng Xuimin interfered, "Roulan, calm down. You don't have to get yourself so worked up for this servant. After all, today is your wedding day and you have to look stunning in that beautiful gown your elder sister..... oops I mean your servant made for you. Isn't that right Li Xiaolu?", Xuimin laughed smiling evilly at her.
Up to till this point, Li Xiaolu was still confused and puzzled at their behavior. She didn't know what to say. Looking at Roulan she asked camly, "Your wedding? What you both said earlier wasn't a joke?" Li Xiaolu asked but then she suddenly winced in pain when Xuimin grabbed her hair and sneered, "Or do you think Brother Yufan would marry a slut like you? A servant of the Li family?"
Li Xiaolu's whole body shook as she cried, "What are you talking about Xuimin? This is all a joke, isn't it? I am the eldest daughter of the Li family and today is my marriage with Chen Yu- "
PAK!! Another slap. "Do not take Brother Yufan's name with your dirty mouth... You slut!!", Li Roulan sneered slapping her hard. Xuimin laughed, "Li Xiaolu do you still not understand? Today is Roulan's marriage with Chen Yufan. How can a nobody like you think of him? Are you worthy of him?"
Losing her patience, Li Roulan ordered harshly, " Guards what are you waiting for? Drag her away..." "Yes, Young Miss, " they shouted and started dragging Li Xiaolu with her arms. Pain shot through her whole body as she cried, " Leave me... I am the eldest young miss... Roulan... Xuimin... Leave me... Mother... Father...".
Li Xiaolu struggled very hard but her strength was very poor related to these guards. They dragged her all the way from her room to the hall downstairs while she kept shouting for help on top of her lungs. Suddenly, she stopped when she saw her parents and Chen Yufan standing downstairs. A ray of hope lit in her heart as she called, "Mother... Father... Yufan. " The smile on her face completely faded and the ray of hope in her heart was shattered as she looked at their unaffected faces. "Why? I am your daughter. WHY??" she cried with disbelief.
