Xiwan shook her head.
2Then, Zhou Liqing continued gossiping: "I heard that the male in the indecent video is her boss, Lin Xi."
3The tall girl nodded and replied, "I guess so. Jiang Xiwan was popular, but she's not the daughter of a rich family and didn't have any scandals. She must have been backed by some big financier, who I guess was Lin Xi. She's so lucky."
2Zhou Liqing nodded in infatuation. "I would pay to be able to sleep with Lin Xi for a night."
2"Stop talking about that!" Xiwan felt her heart ache when she thought about the video.
2The three girls looked at each other. "Xiwan, you ..."
2"I'm tired. I want to rest."
2The girl who hadn't said much so far spoke up, "Qian Mengfei, Zhou Liqing, you guys, Xiwan just woke up and needs to rest!"
2Qian Mengfei was the tall girl. She lowered her head and apologized, "Sorry Xiwan, we were wrong."
2Zhou Liqing pouted. "I didn't do it on purpose. You know that." She was excited when talking about the topic. After all, she already had one foot in the entertainment industry.
2Jiang Xiwan just shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
Everyone thought that she was really uncomfortable, so they said, "Then you rest first. We'll go back to school first."
2The girls left.
2Jiang Xiwan sat on the bed and lowered her head. Her long eyelashes covered the surging emotions in her eyes.
Lin Xi, Lin Xi!
She thought that he cared about her!
She thought that he loved her too!
But all of this was just her own thoughts!
2They were right. Lin Xi was her financier, just a financier. It was a pity that in this transaction of money and sex, she was the one who changed the deal!
2And that woman, she thought that they were sisters who had walked side by side, but she didn't expect that she would actually die in her hands! And in such an aggrieving way!
2Her heart started to ache, and tears kept falling.
She had always been the strong Jiang Xiwan, the Jiang Xiwan who never cried!
She couldn't forgive Lin Xi, even if they were indeed like what he said, but he had slept with that woman after all!
2And that woman, she had to expose her true colors to the public, so that she could get revenge. Only then would she be brought to justice!

2Her days of recuperation were simple and peaceful.
2There were no endless jobs, endless movies, endless songs, fake greetings, and faces with all kinds of masks. In just half a month, Jiang Xiwan felt like she had lived a whole lifetime in the isolated hospital.
2Jiang Xiwan's emotions had also calmed down temporarily, and she slowly accepted the strange phenomenon that had occurred and the information around her.
2During this period, Station B sent a leader with a fruit basket and some compensation money. They told Jiang Xiwan to rest well. They would give her an "A" on the TV station's summer internship report. They also said that they would reserve an internship spot for her in her fourth year.
2After that, Qian Mengfei, Zhou Liqing, and Sun Huayu would visit a few more times. They didn't tell her any more gossip about the entertainment industry. They just said that school was about to start soon and that they would be busy looking for jobs, writing papers, and preparing for tests. It felt so annoying.
2When it was quiet again in her room, Jiang Xiwan's head hurt. She didn't expect that she, who had graduated from university many years ago, would have to prepare for tests again. Most importantly, she and the original owner of this body didn't study the same major at all!
2* * *
2Days passed one by one. In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again.
2On this day, the sky was clear and the clouds were a beautiful white. They looked like long bands of smoke, drifting along with the wind.
2Jiang Xiwan could finally be discharged from the hospital. The person who called herself Xiwan's "mother" was exceptionally happy. She called a taxi to take the two of them home together, and then went to the market to buy groceries.
2Jiang Xiwan looked at the dirty and unfamiliar place and felt like she was about to break down. This wasn't a home, it was clearly just some place where one could sleep on the floor!
2Although she had accepted the supernatural phenomenon of "returning to life," and although she had known that the original owner of this body had a poor family background, she really didn't expect it to be so ridiculously bad!
2It was probably a rented basement that hadn't been renovated. Two gray cement pillars lay in the middle of the room. This made the originally small room seem even more crowded.
2The walls on all four sides were only painted once. It was old and was already grayish-yellow.
2Inside the door, two-thirds of the room was separated by a cloth curtain. Jiang Xiwan guessed that behind the curtain was probably a place for sleeping on the floor.
2A wooden table and three benches. These pieces of furniture had definitely been through the vicissitudes of time. If they were put in an antique flea market, people would probably buy them as treasures. On the right were a single gas stove, a red and white bucket, and a cupboard.
2Other than being old, the only other adjective Xiwan could think of for the place was dirty. The already oppressive space was even more suffocating because of the decorations!
2Jiang Xiwan had thought that the hospital was in poor condition, but now, in comparison, it was simply luxurious and low-key!
2There was a straw mat on the ground, and on top of it was a neatly folded blanket. There was a buckwheat pillow with a bottle of flower dew next to it.
2It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the weather was still hot. She could make do with this for a few nights, but what about the winter? Jiang Xiwan really wanted to leave, but since she had taken over this body, she should do her duty as its host. Moreover, without the identity of the host, she would not be able to take a single step in society!
2Money, money, money. Jiang Xiwan thought that she still had a large amount of savings and finances, which might be able to solve her current situation, but she did not know if her identity card had been revoked by the public security bureau. No matter what, she had to give it a try.
2With this thought, she left the dilapidated room. Before she had walked far, she saw the original owner's mother walking back from the market with a large bag.
2"Wanwan, why don't you go in?"
2Jiang Xiwan shook her head. "Mmm, I still have to go out to do something."
2The woman said, "Go out? Do you have any money on you?"
2Jiang Xiwan blushed and shook her head. Yes, she was penniless but she still had to go out. How long would it take to get to her mansion?
2The woman smiled and took out a handful of money from her pocket. It was red, green, and even included a dime. She took two red hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into Jiang Xiwan's hands, then picked out all the one-dollar coins. "Come back soon! Mommy will make you your favorite braised pork!"
2Jiang Xiwan accepted the money and nodded. "Okay."
2Although the woman in front of her was not her mother, her love for this body was bright and clear. If her mother was still in the world ...
2Looking at the woman's eyes, Jiang Xiwan lowered her head and turned around in a fluster. She said in a muffled voice, "Then I'll leave first."
2Not long after she left the community, she reached one of the main roads of City B. There were endless streams of cars on the road, and the pedestrians were either walking in a hurry or strolling leisurely. Their postures were completely different.
2Jiang Xiwan stood still and watched these people pass in front of her. She couldn't help but be at a loss.
2How long had it been since she had been able to appear on this kind of street?
2She couldn't remember. It felt like a lifetime ago.
2Before she debuted, she had been running around the school and company all day, and all kinds of studies pressed down on her. After debuting, she became famous in one fell swoop, and her status skyrocketed. She had luxury cars to pick her up, bodyguards to open doors, assistants to escort her, cameras in front of her, and reporters behind her. There were thousands of them. Even if she was mischievous once in a while and went out without any makeup, she would easily be recognized and surrounded by people.
2So how long had it been since she had freely walked down a road?
2When her shoulder brushed by a passerby, Jiang Xiwan came back to her senses. Looking at the unfamiliar road, she actually did not know how to get to her destination.
2Fortunately, there was a bus stop not far away. Jiang Xiwan had only walked a few steps before she joined a crowd. On the side of the bus stop, there were still quite a few people waiting for the bus. Jiang Xiwan turned around and saw an advertisement for a drink on the advertisement screen of the bus stop.
2Under the blue sky and white clouds, a fresh and beautiful female celebrity was drinking a drink with a faint smile on her face, as if it was the best drink in the world.
2Under the green main background, the scene looked fresh and natural. The first time anyone saw it, they would feel relaxed and happy. After a few more glances, it was as if fresh air was blowing in their faces.
2In the upper right corner of the screen, there was an advertisement line: Drink XX Green Tea and let yourself breathe.
2In the spokesperson line, there was also a dazzling adjective: Asia's Popular Beauty, Pure Heavenly Queen: Su Nuanyu.
2How ironic.
2She got on the bus to her Xingyue home and looked at the familiar high-rise buildings around her. She was slightly excited. Twenty minutes later, she got off the bus and walked for a while. Finally, she saw a familiar place. She could not help but feel her eyes sting. She walked forward and was stopped by a few security guards. Did she have an invitation from the owner? If not, she could not enter.
2She was stunned and nodded. She then remembered that the people living in Xingyue were either rich or celebrities, so they could not just let anyone enter.
2After a long while, she looked at the security guard. "I have something to do, I'm here to see my boyfriend!"
2The security guard also looked at Xiwan awkwardly. "Miss, don't make things difficult for me."
2Jiang Xiwan bit her lip. "I just need to go in for a while. I really have something very important to do!" Right now, her "home" was very poor, but she had an anonymous deposit and bank card at her old place, so she had to get it back.
2The security guard still shook his head. Although he looked at this girl quite pitifully, he still had to do his job as well.
2The clouds in the sky gradually thickened, and the sky suddenly darkened. Xiwan and the security guard were at a stalemate. She could understand the security guard, but at the same time, she had her own things she needed to do.
2The wind was strong, and it messed up Xiwan's long hair.
2She looked at the security guard.
The security guard shook his head.
The moment she turned her head, she saw a handsome man in white casual sportswear slowly walk out from inside.
2When Xiwan saw his face clearly, even though she had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had seen all kinds of handsome men, she could not help but sigh, "This man is really good-looking."
2He was tall and had a jade-like face and a pair of black eyes. He only glanced over slightly, and his eyes were shining brightly.
2Xiwan had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she had a good eye for people. She could tell that this person was cold and unapproachable.
2It was just that ...
2She could not wait anymore, so she could only take a gamble. Even if it was a mistake, could it be worse than her current situation?
2Xiwan thought for a moment and had an idea. Then, she bit her lip and ran over quickly. She grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Darling, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
2At the same time, she saw the security guard looking at her with a strange expression, as well as the man next to her ...
2She also turned her head and saw the man next to her. He was frowning, and a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes. Even though Xiwan had been in the entertainment industry for a while and her skin was thick enough, she blushed because of the contempt that this man inadvertently revealed.
2"Let go!" His voice was neither high nor low, but everyone present could hear him. Just as Xiwan had expected, he was cold and aloof, unapproachable.
2The security guard standing at the side laughed. "Miss, it's getting dark. You should go back." What he meant was: Miss, stop fooling around.
2Xiwan was a little embarrassed. She unconsciously loosened her grip on his arm, but when she thought about what she had to do, she unconsciously tightened her grip. Her big red eyes made her look pitiful. "My dear, don't be angry. I didn't answer your call because someone stole my phone." Then, she looked up at his thin crimson lips and kissed him without hesitation.
2"Please, help me."
2These few words disappeared between her lips and teeth.
She was pushed away by him very quickly.
A pair of cold eyes stared unblinkingly at Xiwan. There was a dense anger between his brows, as if he was about to explode.
2Xiwan knew that she had gone too far, but ...
2There was no other way!
2They stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere remained stagnant.
2Perhaps it was the trace of despair and fragility in her eyes that moved his heart, but he only said, "Follow me." Then he turned around and walked away.
2Xiwan looked at his back and started laughing. What an awkward good person.
2The security guard opened his mouth and watched the two of them leave. He could not help but mutter, "What? Couldn't you have just said that Young Master Li is your boyfriend?" He shook his head and walked towards the security booth. He seemed to have thought of something and could not help but exclaim, "Young Master Li has a girlfriend?"
