Chapter 18

　　Lin Yuan pushed open the doors of two rooms. The larger one was the bedroom, and the smaller one was the storage room. There was no one inside, and the kitchen and bathroom were the same. Where would these two go?

　　Returning to the living room, Lin Yuan's face was full of confusion, and her gaze swept over the sofa to see the jade hairpin.

　　How could the hairpin be here?

　　Picking up the jade hairpin, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. She saw that the window on the balcony was open.

　　Did they go out through the window?

　　Lin Yuan walked to the window and looked outside, only to realize that it was on the fourth floor. Brother and the others couldn't have gone out from here.

　　When Lin Yuan withdrew her gaze, she seemed to see something downstairs, but she didn't pay attention.

　　Taking out her phone, she dialed her brother's number, and the ringtone came from the bedroom. Lin Yuan walked into the bedroom again and saw Lin Rui standing beside the dressing table in a daze.

　　"Brother, why are you here? There was no one here just now. Where have you been?" Lin Yuan asked.

　　Lin Rui didn't answer her, his body remained motionless, as if attracted by the mirror. Lin Yuan walked up to Lin Rui and followed his gaze. She saw a woman in red dancing in the mirror of the dressing table.

　　With her slender and graceful figure and light dancing sleeves, as her flowing long hair spread from her cheeks, Lin Yuan could see her clearly. At the same time, she also heard Lin Rui's whispers: Little Yuan, Little Yuan

　　"Brother, brother," Lin Yuan shook Lin Rui with his hand and said anxiously, "Be clear-headed, this is not true!"

　　But Lin Rui still had a drunken expression on his face. Lin Yuan looked in the mirror, and the woman in the mirror also looked at Lin Yuan, with a look of mockery and pride in her expression.

　　Lin Yuan suddenly felt very angry, causing her hands to tremble uncontrollably. She casually raised her hand and wanted to pound the mirror, but forgot that she was holding a jade hairpin. The sharp needle accurately pierced the heart of the woman in red. Lin Yuan seemed to hear a painful cry, and then she was the only one in the mirror, and even her brother disappeared.

　　Lin Yuan stared blankly at the intact jade hairpin and mirror, unable to understand what was going on.

　　Stepping out and standing in the hallway under the dim yellow light, Lin Yuan's vision was hazy, as if her eyes were shrouded in a layer of wet mist, unable to see clearly. She rubbed her eyes and waited for the hallway lights to go out before feeling better.

　　Turning on the flashlight in her phone, Lin Yuan no longer relied on the voice-controlled light and used the light of the flashlight to illuminate her way down. Downstairs, the moonlight was very bright, and Lin Yuan saw a person lying on the ground not far away.

　　Suddenly, Lin Yuan's heart became nervous again. She walked slowly over step by step until she saw clearly that what she was wearing was not Lin Rui's, and Lin Yuan finally felt relieved.

　　Driven by curiosity, Lin Yuan did not stop walking. She continued to approach, and when she saw the red dress, Lin Yuan thought of the woman who was talking to her brother.

　　Why did she fall without any movement, brother? Is there any connection between brother and her falling?

　　Immediately after, Lin Yuan could no longer think much, because she could see clearly the face of the person who had fallen from the building.

　　Under the moonlight, this face was as white as a wall, in sharp contrast to her lips painted with bright red lipstick, while her eyes were open, and the pitch black beads made people feel very eerie.

　　Yes, her makeup is the same as the woman in the red dress just now, but her facial features and face shape are the same as Lin Yuan's.

　　Lin Yuan once again saw a person who looked the same as her fall from a building, but was all of this true? No, the person in the mirror is fake, everything here is illusory!

　　Her hands trembled uncontrollably again, or rather, it was the hairpin driving her hand to tremble. Lin Yuan relaxed her hand nerves and immediately raised her hand. She knew that the hairpin could make this false scene disappear, but her eyes suddenly widened and she watched as the jade hairpin in her hand thrust toward her eyebrows

　　"Ah..." Lin Yuan woke up with a startled cry, covering her forehead. The piercing pain in her eyebrows slowly subsided after a long time.

　　Sitting up, rubbing my forehead, what did I dream of just now? I feel dizzy and can't recall it.

　　Yu Qin hummed softly in the bedroom, and Lin Yuan walked in. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, she didn't wake her up. Turning around, Lin Yuan saw the dressing mirror in the wardrobe, and for a moment, her dream became clear.

　　The woman who talked to her brother in her dream was the image she saw in the mirror in the afternoon. Who is she? Lin Yuan thought carefully and increasingly felt that the woman's appearance had been seen before, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

　　The phone on the sofa in the living room rang, and Lin Yuan walked out to pick it up. It was Yuan Yu who called. Lin Yuan couldn't justify it, but Yuan Yu said he was already in the restaurant and would wait. After finishing, he hung up the phone.

　　Lin Yuan put down her phone and walked into the bedroom. Standing in front of the dressing mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Do you want to go?"

　　In the mirror, Yu Qin's suitcase behind Lin Yuan was open, and a prominent red long dress caught Lin Yuan's attention.

　　Suddenly, her gaze became blurred. In the mist, Lin Yuan seemed to see another self. She walked out of the mirror, took off her clothes, changed into the red dress in the suitcase, and then sat in front of the dressing table, turning on her lipstick

　　When Yuan Yu saw Lin Yuan, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that Lin Yuan would dress up like this, wearing a red long dress that set off her skin like snow. Her bright red lips were incredibly beautiful, and her agile eyes were filled with many charms.

　　She looked at Yuan Yu in surprise and said, "Do you like it?"

　　"It's stunning," Yuan Yu suppressed his excitement and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

　　"Do you like me like this?" Lin Yuan asked coquettishly.

　　"I like it," Yuan Yu stared at Lin Yuan intently and said, "You are particularly attractive tonight."

　　"Hehe..." Lin Yuan continued to smile coquettishly, lifting her glass and slowly taking a sip of the red wine. Her lips, soaked in the wine, emitted a more enticing luster.

　　Yuan Yu became intoxicated, got up, approached Lin Yuan, gently grabbed her shoulder, smelled the rich fragrance on her body, and gently kissed her lips

　　Lin Yuan stood aside, watching the affectionate kiss between the two, unable to express her feelings. She should have liked Yuan Yu, but as she watched him kiss other women, Lin Yuan didn't feel angry or jealous. Doesn't she like Yuan Yu?

　　The long kiss finally came to an end, and the woman in the red dress walked into the bathroom. Lin Yuan stood behind her and looked at her in the mirror, saying, "You should restore your own appearance now!"

　　"This is what I am," the woman in the red dress looked at Lin Yuan from the mirror. "Yuan Yu likes me, and I will take back everything that belongs to me."
