She died in a rigged explosion and unexpectedly woke up in the body of a young girl.
Determined not to waste her second chance at life, she decides to truly enjoy the life she never had befor...
The original owner's voice was soft and sweet. Although Wen Lu was a little unaccustomed to using it, she had to admit that the voice was really useful, especially in coaxing people, and could make people fall head over heels for her.
Wen Lu and his wife sat on the sofa chatting casually, with Wen Zhengnan occasionally chiming in. To onlookers, the scene was particularly heartwarming.
But for the three people, each with their own thoughts, it was an extremely agonizing ordeal.
Suddenly, Wen Lu felt she didn't want to play with them anymore. She decided to find out their purpose as soon as possible, avenge the original owner of the body, and then leave this house.
At this moment, the butler spoke up and successfully rescued the three people.
"Miss, your midnight snack is ready. Auntie made you a curry beef rice."
"Okay, coming right away!" Wen Lu replied happily and immediately stood up from her seat.
Wen Lu, who didn't particularly like curry before, became very interested in the late-night snack after hearing the housekeeper's words, and quickened her pace toward the restaurant.
Seeing Wen Lu's eagerness to leave, Madam Wen smiled gently, "It seems Lu Lu is really hungry; she's walking a bit faster than before."
Hearing Madam Wen's words, Wen Zhengnan also looked up at Wen Lu's back. He smiled coldly and couldn't help but think to himself, "Can she really get better?"
After having a late-night snack, Wen Lu went upstairs under the pretext of being tired. She simply didn't have the patience to act with Wen Zhengnan and his wife. She felt that both of them wore thick masks, and their fake appearance made her uncomfortable.
Watching Wen Lu's retreating figure as she went upstairs, Madam Wen gently pinched Wen Zhengnan's arm. Wen Zhengnan, who was reading financial news, turned his head to look at Madam Wen and gently shook his head at her.
Seeing Wen Zhengnan's actions, Madam Wen glared at him with displeasure, then stood up and went upstairs as well.
Back in her room, Wen Lu lazily lay on the sofa. It wasn't that she didn't notice the subtle interactions between Wen Zhengnan and his wife; she simply chose to ignore them.
She was becoming increasingly curious about their motives; she felt as if she were in a fog, and everything seemed like an illusion deliberately woven by someone.
Wen Lu closed her eyes, trying hard to find the original owner's memories. She wanted to use the original owner's memories to find a breakthrough and break the unreality of all this.
Before she knew it, Wen Lu had fallen into a deep sleep on the sofa.
In Wenlu's dream, a heartwarming scene appeared: two old men were playing chess in a pavilion, and a very pretty little girl of about five or six years old was standing beside them.
The little girl looked chubby, with two little braids on her head that swung back and forth. Her well-behaved appearance was very endearing.
"Old Xiao, we've brought Lulu back for three years now, is there still no news from over there?"
"No, we've tried everything but still can't get in touch with them. We don't know if they're still around. But don't worry, even without them, can't our two families protect a little girl?"
The old man, referred to as Lao Xiao, raised his hand and ruffled Wen Lu's hair. Little Wen Lu gave Lao Xiao a sweet smile that seemed to melt everything.
"Don't worry, even if I die, I will make sure the Xiao family protects her well. What do you think of my little grandson? That boy has been intelligent since he was a child, and I think he is patient with Lulu. Why don't we arrange a marriage between the two little ones?"
The old man sitting opposite Lao Xiao put down the chess piece in his hand. His shrewd eyes looked at Wen Lu, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"Then it's decided. Let Lulu be betrothed to your grandson. I believe the child you've raised will be good and can take good care of Lulu."
"As for my family, I'll give her the shares I own. When she turns eighteen, she can inherit them. At that time, Zheng Nan and his wife can take good care of her and make sure she doesn't suffer any grievances!"
"No, Lao Wen, you can't do that! If you give all your shares to Lulu, your son will become disloyal to you. If you want Lulu to live well in the Wen family, you need to make them love Lulu, but also be wary of her. Giving just the right amount of shares is enough. Too many will be dangerous."
Upon hearing Lao Wen's words, Lao Xiao immediately stopped Lao Wen's decision. He had watched Wen Zhengnan grow up and knew Wen Zhengnan's methods very well. This kind of person could only be cooperated with, not suppressed, otherwise it would backfire.
Listening to Lao Xiao's words, Lao Wen fell into deep thought. He nodded and felt that what Lao Xiao said made sense.
"Then let's arrange it as you said, get Lulu engaged to your grandson, and I will also secretly make a will as soon as possible, so that they can't guess the contents of the will, and they will protect Lulu."
"Old Xiao, this is all we can do. We hope Lulu's future will be smooth sailing. If it weren't for that couple helping us back then, we might have died at the hands of those pirates. There wouldn't be the Wen family and Xiao family today..."
Old Wen looked up at the sky outside, a wistful expression on his face.
Old Xiao's expression wasn't much better than Old Wen's; it seemed they were reminiscing about that dangerous moment from back then.
Just then, Wen Lu was awakened by heart pain. She clutched her chest, curled up on the sofa, and fumbled for her backpack with her other hand.
When she grabbed her backpack, it was like grasping a lifeline. She quickly pulled out a medicine bottle from the backpack, poured out a few pills, and popped them into her mouth.
After a few minutes, the pain subsided, and she slowly relaxed her body, took a deep breath, and felt as if she had come back to life.
She sat in the dark room, looking at the moon outside the window. She learned Wen Lu's true identity in her dream. It turned out that the original owner's parents had saved the patriarchs of the Wen and Xiao families, which is why she was brought back to the Wen family.
It seems that the Wen couple's doting on the original owner stemmed entirely from the will left by Old Man Wen, and all the pretense was driven by self-interest.
Wen Lu felt that she had recovered somewhat. She stood up from the sofa and went into the bathroom...
After taking a hot bath, Wen Lu came out of the bathroom. As she passed by the window, she saw a light in the yard. She stopped by the window, took out her phone, and took a picture of the two people embracing tightly outside.
It seems that these two have gained the approval of Wen Zhengnan and his wife, and they are no longer willing to hide it, having begun to date openly.
That's fine too. She has no interest in Xiao Ran whatsoever, and even dealing with her feels disgusting. This outcome saves her a lot of trouble.
