As the sun set, the drifting clouds dyed the sky a large orange-red.
After school, the campus was excessively quiet. Apart from the faint shouts of boys playing football on the field, the teaching building was empty.
Only the faint sound of voices could be heard from the women's restroom on one floor.
"Jiang Fuyue, do you think you're worthy? Why don't you take a look at yourself? How could Ling Xuan like a bad student like you? "
Lou Mingyue woke up to the noise and looked at the chattering woman in front of her, her eyes momentarily blank.
Wasn't she dead?
Where was this?
Unfortunately, no one could give her an answer.
Fortunately, this blankness didn't last long. Her vigilance and strong adaptability forced her to calm down in the shortest amount of time, and then she quickly looked around.
First of all, this was a women's restroom. The half-peeling walls and bumpy tiles silently told her that it was old and shabby.
Any property under her name, even the most unmodern old bungalow with the worst living conditions, had a better restroom than this one.
Secondly, there were four people present.
Besides Lou Mingyue herself, the chattering woman in front of her was one of them. The other two didn't speak, but their eyes were unfriendly, like a tiger watching its prey.
The three of them were working together to surround her.
Finally, and most importantly, they were all wearing school uniforms, including Lou Mingyue.
On the right front of their chests was a big red school emblem, and below it were four small words: Linnan First High School.
After roughly understanding her surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, Lou Mingyue's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you usually very arrogant? You're obviously ugly and stupid, but you still have to put on a high and mighty appearance. Do you think you're the heroine of a novel after reading too many novels? "The woman, oh no, it should only be a girl, said harsh words as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lou Mingyue didn't have time to pay attention, because some memories that didn't belong to her were crazily rushing into her mind.
She was reborn!
Her current identity was Jiang Fuyue, a second-year student of Linnan High School. Because of a love letter she had written to a handsome boy, she had been targeted by the handsome boy's crush, Jiang Han, who was the fat girl in front of her.
As soon as class ended, she was dragged into the female restroom for a routine warning. Then, Lou Mingyue arrived.
"Sister Han, why isn't she reacting at all?" Lackey number one asked.
"That's too much. He actually dares to ignore us!" Lackey number two said.
Jiang Han frowned, the muscles on his face twitching. He poked Jiang Fuyue's shoulder with his finger and said, "I'm just giving you a small warning today. If you know what's good for you, don't provoke Ling Xuan anymore. Even if you see him in the future, please take a detour. Otherwise, I'll shut down your little pancake stall at any time …"
Ugh!
Lou Mingyue abruptly looked up, and the noise stopped abruptly.
His pitch-black pupils and indifferent gaze instantly made it seem as if the vast galaxy had sunk into them. They were as calm as the sea and as vast as the wilderness.
Then, his gaze lightly landed on Jiang Han's face. Even though it didn't carry any weight, it was as if a sharp sword had been unsheathed.
This was the aura that belonged to the legend of the capital, the head of the Lou family, Lou Mingyue!
At this moment, it was pressing down on the shoulder of a middle school student. Boom —
Jiang Han's mind went blank. Her hands and feet turned cold, and a chill crept up her spine to her neck. She began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You …" Out of instinctive fear, she unconsciously retreated.
The two lackeys wanted to go forward and help, but they realized that their legs were nailed to the ground and couldn't be pulled out.
Their knees went soft, and they almost knelt down.
Since when did Jiang … Jiang Fuyue become so terrifying? She was even scarier than the Head of Teaching …
"Scram!" Her voice was as cold as a chime, chilling to the bone.
The three of them couldn't escape in time.
Lou Mingyue twitched the corner of her mouth and walked to the corner to pick up her school bag. She looked at it with disdain, but in the end, she resigned to her fate and hung it on her shoulder.
After she slowly washed her hands, she walked out of the female restroom.
…
In the midsummer evening, the wind was warm. When it blew on one's face, it felt stuffy and hot.
There was no one in the school anymore. It was eerily quiet.
Even the boys playing soccer on the field had gone home. As far as the eye could see, the field was as empty as the wilderness.
Lou Mingyue … no … she should be called Jiang Fuyue now. She walked out of the school gate with her head lowered. Even now, she still couldn't react.
Just a second ago, she was lying in a pool of blood. She watched helplessly as the person closest to her stabbed her in the chest. Her unwillingness and resentment seemed to be entangled in her soul, unable to be released. How did she become another person in the next second? She had a memory that didn't belong to her.
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered her ears. Jiang Fuyue's body stiffened, and she abruptly raised her head.
She saw that the huge LED screen in front of the school square was broadcasting an interview from the finance channel.
"… It seems that everyone is well-informed. That's right, Lou Corporation will complete the acquisition of Sol Technology on the first of next month. This will be the first time Lou Corporation has acquired a New Third Avenue company. At the same time, it also signifies Lou Corporation's determination to enter the technology industry …"
The woman on the screen was dressed in a suit. She was calm and composed. At this moment, she was speaking frankly and confidently in front of the reporters and cameras.
The screen switched back to the host. "The CEO of Lou Corporation has personally admitted to the media that he will be acquiring Sol Technology soon. How will this affect Lou Corporation, which has always focused on real estate? How will this affect the technology industry in the future? Next, let's invite the finance expert, Mr. Shao Qihua, to analyze and answer … "
The CEO of Lou Corporation?!
Jiang Fuyue's pupils constricted. She squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, "Lou … Ming … Xin …"
Her half-sister, a good student whom she had taught hand in hand, was also the executioner who stabbed her in the chest!
The hatred and unwillingness that she had forcefully suppressed surged up at this moment.
However …
Jiang Fuyue furrowed her brows.
She had just died. With Lou Mingxin's status, it was impossible for her to take control of the corporation and become the CEO in such a short period of time.
Suddenly, the girl's gaze froze. She stared at the bottom right corner of the screen. Her gaze went from confusion to bewilderment, and finally, shock and disbelief.
2050 …
Twenty years later!
Yes, although the Lou Mingxin in the news had exquisite makeup, she was overly mature. Her hair, in particular, was tied up in a bun. She looked dignified, but she also looked very old.
What if she didn't "look old" but was actually "old"?!
That wouldn't be strange.
Twenty years, not twenty days, not twenty hours. It was enough to change anything.
So …
Those people couldn't protect her in the end?
Jiang Fuyue was momentarily disappointed.
However, this disappointment didn't last long. When she raised her head again, the helplessness on her face gradually faded.
At least she was still alive, right? She still had plenty of time to slowly settle accounts with those who had caused her death! She only hoped that after twenty years, they would still be alive and kicking!
The sun gradually set. Jiang Fuyue didn't waste any more time and turned to leave.
The financial news was still playing behind her. "… The Reno Corporation has a strong background and abundant capital. However, it hasn't been able to step out of the real estate industry for the past twenty years, so this transformation is very significant …"
…
Jiang Fuyue's house wasn't far from the school. It was about a twenty-minute walk.
She walked slowly and familiarized herself with her surroundings.
Her surroundings hadn't changed much from twenty years ago, except that the buildings were taller and the roads were more congested.
Relying on the original owner's memory, she walked through the old market. A few low-rise apartment buildings appeared before her eyes. However, because they were too old, the outer walls were mottled.
Jiang Fuyue's house was in Unit 2 4-1. She carried her bag and climbed up the stairs. Just as she took out her key and inserted it into the keyhole, the door opened from the inside before she could turn it.
A short "radish head" appeared in front of her. He looked at her timidly, then pursed his lips and called out softly, "Sis …"
There were four members of the Jiang family — Jantar, Han Yunru and her husband, Jiang Fuyue, and Jiang Chenxing and her brother.
Jiang Xiaodi was Six years older than Jiang Fuyue. He was twelve years old this year and would be in the first year of junior high school in September.
He developed slower than other boys his age. She estimated that he was less than 1.5 meters tall. He was thin and small. Although his skin was fair and he had a handsome face, he was still a little delicate.
He looked like a girl.
However, he had a quiet personality and didn't talk much. At first glance, he looked … easier to bully.
The relationship between the siblings wasn't good, so Jiang Fuyue imitated the original owner's tone and coldly said, "Mm."
Jiang Xiaodi hesitantly moved aside. He waited for her to enter the house before he quietly closed the door.
He glanced at his sister's back and lowered his eyes to hide his dimness. Then, he adjusted the corner of his apron and turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Soon, the sound of cooking with a spatula could be heard.
Half an hour later, the aroma of food filled the entire living room.
Jiang Xiaodi walked to the sofa, lowered his head, and said in a small voice, "Sister, it's time to eat."
"… Oh." Jiang Fuyue put down her phone and walked to the dining room.
She had already gone online to get a general understanding of this world. What happened twenty years ago hadn't changed. This meant that the timeline was still the same. The rules and common sense of this society were the same as what she understood in her previous life.
The only special thing about her was that she directly jumped from the time of "Lou Mingyue's death" twenty years ago to the time of "Jiang Fuyue was bullied by Jiang Han in the school's female washroom" twenty years later. She didn't follow the normal timeline and completed the teleportation in the blink of an eye.
…
She was about to scoop the rice when she paused and calmly retracted her hand.
It wasn't that Jiang Fuyue was lazy, but that the original owner never did these things. Jiang Xiaodi did it for her.
Now that the original owner had changed, even if she wanted to change, she had to take it slow.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiaodi skillfully scooped the rice for her, and then … began to eat by himself.
Jiang Fuyue: "?"
"Sister." The young boy shrank his neck. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Uh …" Jiang Fuyue was about to look away when she suddenly remembered the terrible way this pair of siblings got along. She looked up and glared at him. "Eat your food. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Oh." Jiang Xiaodi's eyes became timid, and he continued to bury his head in the bowl.
She silently searched through the original owner's memories.
It turned out that Jiang Xiaodi was a big eater. At the age of three, he could eat two big bowls of noodles and four trays of steamed buns.
As he got older, his appetite became more and more terrifying. Now, he ate more than the other three people in his family combined, and that was under the premise that he didn't open his stomach.
Jiang Fuyue's parents took him to see a doctor, and the results showed that everything was normal.
In the end, they could only leave it unsettled.
However, for such a family that wasn't rich, "eating a lot" was equivalent to "spending a lot".
Jiang Chenxing's parents had a pancake stall. They left early and returned late, and their monthly income was about seven thousand yuan. Almost half of it was spent on food in Jiang Chenxing, and the other half was used to pay for the siblings' school fees and daily expenses. Naturally, they didn't give much to Jiang Fuyue.
This was why the original owner hated Jiang Xiaodi.
"I'm full." She put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Jiang Xiaodi suddenly looked over. His eyes … were filled with expectation.
Jiang Fuyue silently looked at the little leftovers in the bowl and got up to leave.
After she left, Jiang Xiaodi happily dragged the bowl over and finished the remaining food.
He was instantly satisfied!
But there was a flash of doubt in his eyes. In the past, his sister would rather throw away the leftovers in her bowl than give it to him. Why today …
He shrunk his head into his collar and was secretly happy.
…
Jiang Fuyue stood in the bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She didn't know what to say.
What was with this non-mainstream hairstyle?
Her large bangs drooped in front of her forehead and her eyebrows were all covered. Her eyes were pretty, but they were bald without eyebrows. Her palm-sized face was covered by two tufts of hair. Together with her forehead, it looked like it was framed by the word "mouth".
A ghost was a ghost, so ugly that she wanted to cry.
"Jiang Chenxing, bring a pair of scissors over!"
Fifteen minutes later.
When Jiang Fuyue looked at the mirror again, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She saw a girl with a delicate oval face. Her eyebrows were thick and shaped like autumn waves. Her peach blossom eyes were bright and charming.
Her skin was a cold ivory white, which made her cherry lips red and her cheeks like peach blossoms.
After seeing Jiang Xiaodi, she guessed that the original owner wasn't ugly, but she didn't expect her to be such a beauty!
In her previous life, Lou Mingyue was also beautiful, but because she was born weak, she looked sickly and delicate. How could she be so healthy and bright?
Jiang Xiaodi, who was leaning against the door, was also stunned.
When his sister graduated from the third year of middle school, she cut her bangs to cover her forehead and eyes. His parents said it didn't look good, and he also thought it was ugly, but his sister liked it.
"How is it?" Jiang Fuyue suddenly turned her head.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaodi was confused.
"Does it look good?"
"Yes, it looks good."
"Louder." A man should act like a man.
"It looks good —"
After shouting, Jiang Xiaodi was stunned.
Jiang Fuyue walked past him and said lightly, "It's barely passable."
…
It was night. Everything was quiet.
Jiang Xiaodi had a regular schedule and was already asleep.
Jiang Fuyue was lying on the bottom bunk with her hands behind her head, staring at the top of the bed.
Occasionally, when Jiang Xiaodi turned over, there would be a creaking sound, but she didn't even blink.
After some time, there was a faint noise in the living room.
"… Be gentle, don't wake the children!" Han Yunru lowered her voice.
Jantar gently closed the door. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll be gentle. You go take care of the two little ones, I'll clean up here … "
When the door was opened, Jiang Fuyue suddenly closed her eyes.
After a while, the thin blanket that was half-draped around her stomach was gently pulled up to cover her chest.
"Good night, Yueyue."
It was a gentle and pleasant voice.
…
The next day.
"Sister, wake up …"
Jiang Fuyue sat up, put on her slippers, and quickly washed up.
Jiang Xiaodi stood by the bed, a little confused.
Why didn't sister lose her temper today? Hehe … he was secretly happy.
Jantar and his wife had already set up a stall and left breakfast on the stove for the siblings. It was still warm.
