TISWWTSYM) Missed Signal (Patreon)

Bi’er panicked and quickly answered: “You miss that is Third Young Miss. She is just wearing makeup….” 

“Huh? Makeup!?” Yi Ning was startled. She looked at the young girl, her third sister named Yi Zhi, who looked to be a year younger than her in shock. Even in her previous life, she did not wear makeup, so this was certainly new to her! “Third Sister, are you okay? Did you lose a bet?” 

“Bitch! What are you talking about!?” Yi Zhi’s eyes were filled with anger as she stomped over towards Yi Ning. “Bitch, you dare act all arrogant!? Didn’t you kill yourself? Why are you still alive!?” Yi Zhi finally thought her position would rise up in the family if this useless bitch had died. But here she was, fine and well! She couldn’t stand it! 

“Little ugly girl, you got a foul mouth.” Yi Ning had never heard so many curses coming out of someone’s mouth before.

“You! Who are you calling ugly!?” Yi Zhi yelled out while pointing a finger at Yi Ning.

“Not only are you ugly, but you are really rude. Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to point at people? You might lose that finger if you are not careful.” Yi Ning’s eyes narrowed. She really hated being pointed at.

Yi Zhi sneered and walked forward, and went to poke Yi Ning in the chest. “What can you do to… Ahhh!!!!!!!! Let go!”

Yi Ning grabbed Yi Zhi’s finger and bent it backward, making the girl fall to her knees in pain. Yi Ning held the finger back as she stared coldly at her so called sister. “Let me tell you this now. You ever point at me like this again, and I will make sure you lose this finger. Also, I do not know who told you that your makeup looked good, but it looks awful. If you go out looking like that, you will scare people to death!”

“You! First Sister said I looked beautiful!” Yi Zhi yelled back through gritted teeth. Her finger hurt so bad she felt like it was about to be broken off.

Yi Ning snorted and tossed Yi Zhi on her butt. “Little girl, listen up. When have you ever seen that elder sister of yours wearing the same kind of makeup? If it looks so good, why isn’t she wearing her makeup like that? You are basically a dog wagging its tail while your master is having you do tricks.”

“You!” Yi Zhi had no words. He could only stare daggers at Yi Ning. She did not know what was going on with her second sister, but she suddenly became good at talking and even knew how to fight back!

Yi Ning rolled her eyes. She wondered why, when people ran out of things to say, they could only say the word you in response. She sighed and turned around, hooked arms with her little beauty, and walked away, ignoring the daggers stabbing her in the back.

It took a while for Yi Zhi to get up from the ground. She only did so when Yi Ning turned the corner. She was angry and wanted to beat Yi Ning to the ground, but something that Yi Ning said really resonated with her. “Why does First Sister not wear much makeup?”

It was not that Yi Zhi was stupid. She had noticed the looks of people when she went out, but she ignored it since her first sister told her that she looked beautiful with this style of makeup. And just figured that the people were jealous of her beauty. “Bitch!” Yi Zhi came to a realization. She had been tricked!

She was so mad she stomped off towards her courtyard. She couldn’t do anything to her first sister out in the open, so she could only use some tricks later to get revenge. When she arrived at her courtyard and went into her room, she sat down in front of her mirror and looked at her face, which was painted up like a clown. “Ahhh!”  

Yi Zhi’s anger rose. She slammed her fists on her makeup stand and glared at her appearance. “I have been looking like a damn monster this entire time!”

Yi Ning had no idea that Yi Zhi was having a meltdown in her room. She was currently on the streets looking at everything curiously. “Little Beauty, what’s that?”

“Young Miss, that is a car….” Bi’er was at a loss. Her young miss really did seem to lose all her memories.

“Oh!” Yi Ning was very amazed at all the unique things. While they were normal to others, to her, they were very unique and amazing. She looked around in excitement, looking like a tourist, but luckily, she was not bringing too much attention to herself. Or at least, she thought.

“Hmmm?” A young woman in a red one-piece dress rested her head on her hand as she looked down from the window of the tea house she was in. “Now, isn’t she a cute one.”

“Boss, that is Second Miss Yi. From what I know, she had just recently tried to kill herself due to her engagement being stolen from her by First Miss Yi.” A woman with glasses stood at the young woman’s side and explained.

“Oh? Does that look like a girl who has just broken up with someone? Look at that smile. It’s a genuine smile.” The young woman turned and looked at her assistant. “Little Yan, tell me, if you had just tried to kill yourself, would you be out and about?”

Little Yan, Wei Yan, shook her head without needing to think about it. “No. But I do know that the engagement has been changed to the First Young Miss. Young Master Li had asked for it to be changed himself and even announced it to the public.”

“I see. So that playboy is still around, huh? I thought that they would have been castrated by now. This is why I hate men. They are so fickle.” The young woman snorted. “Find out more about this Second Miss Yi.”

“Boss?” Wei Yan’s eyes opened wide. She wondered if her Boss had really taken a liking to this girl. She was only one of a handful of people who knew her boss was into girls. But even then, her boss rarely showed interest in anyone. She curiously looked down at Yi Ning, who was hugging her maid’s arm with a confused expression. She did not see what made her boss want to know more about this girl. Yes, she was beautiful, but that was all she could see.

The young woman, Song Mei, turned and looked at Wei Yan with cold eyes. “Are you bored? If you are bored, I can find more work for….”

Wei Yan felt her spine go cold. She quickly interrupted Song Mei. “No! No! I will go do as you asked now!” With that, she rushed out of the room. She had been at Song Mei’s side since they were young, so they were more than just friends, but she had to admit that even after all this time, Song Mei still scared her to death!

Song Mei sneered and turned to look back out the window. Her eyes fell on the girl walking down the street. Her lips curled up ever so slightly. She wondered, was this love at first sight? But as she was lost in her thoughts, the girl she was admiring suddenly looked up at her, causing her to stiffen as if she had been caught peeping!

Down below, Yi Ning had felt someone looking at her, so she looked up to meet eyes with a beautiful woman who looked the very picture of her type! She could feel that their eyes made contact, but before she could send a signal of interest, the other person looked away and disappeared from the window, making Yi Ning purse her lips. In her mind, she was screaming: “This always happens! I always miss the most important part!”

Seeing how she missed her chance to give the ‘signal’, Yi Ning pursed her lips and continued walking forward.
