Xia Wan frowned slightly, fine lines appearing and disappearing on her smooth forehead. Her mind raced like gears, calculating how to start a sarcastic remark, using sharp, sarcastic words to let this arrogant woman know that she was not a pushover who could be easily bullied.
She sifted through her mind for the most damaging words, imagining them shooting at the other person like sharp arrows, exposing their true colors and leaving them utterly ashamed.
But just then, a piercing, alarm-like sound suddenly exploded in her mind. The sound was sharp and urgent, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
[Beep beep beep... Host, Xia Shuhua's soul is detected to be unstable...]
Upon hearing this sudden notification sound, Xia Wan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.
A series of question marks instantly popped into my head, as if it had become a huge warehouse of mysteries.
"Unstable soul? What does that mean? Little system, are you starting to play with metaphysics now?" Xia Wan couldn't help but complain, her tone full of surprise and doubt.
After all, such mysterious and esoteric ideas usually only appeared in the fantastical and metaphysical novels she had read before.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the world we are in now shouldn't involve these mysterious and unpredictable things at all!
[No, host. My analysis has revealed that the soul currently occupying Xia Shuhua's body does not actually belong to her!]
The system explained in an emotionless yet incredibly serious electronic voice.
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan was so shocked that she almost couldn't control the changes in her expression. Her lips twitched slightly uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with astonishment and realization. "You mean... she's actually a time traveler?"
If that's true, then many things seem to make perfect sense. No wonder the system found that Xia Shuhua from her previous life was completely different from her current self when it was searching for relevant information!
For example, her style of doing things and way of thinking are completely different from the Xia Shuhua I remember.
Despite her heart being in turmoil and her emotions surging like a raging tide, Xia Wan forced herself to calm down quickly with her strong willpower and tried her best to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.
She knew that at this crucial moment, any slight panic could be noticed by the other party, thus exposing her true intentions.
Her beautiful and sharp eyes remained fixed on Xia Shuhua, scrutinizing every subtle movement or change in expression, trying to find more clues to prove her true identity.
She carefully observed Xia Shuhua's every move; every glance, every twitch of her lips, seemed like a clue that might conceal the truth.
Is this person really from the 21st century, just like me? But why does she harbor such great hostility towards her own father? This is truly perplexing.
Xia Wan pondered these questions in her mind, trying to find a clear thread from the complex clues.
"What's wrong, Wanwan?" Xia Tao noticed that Xia Wan's expression was a little off. Her usually honest face was now filled with suspicion, so he asked.
After all, based on his understanding of his sister, given her usual temperament, how could she tolerate this woman being so arrogant and domineering here? Even if she didn't fight back, she would at least have started cursing long ago!
However, Xia Wan simply waved her hand lightly, her gaze fixed on Xia Shuhua without ever looking away, and said indifferently, "It's nothing, I just feel a sudden tickle in my throat."
Her voice was as calm as a still lake, without a ripple, but her heart was in turmoil.
Xia Shuhua seemed to vaguely sense the strange gaze from Xia Wan, as if an invisible gaze was piercing her back.
For some reason, a sudden panic arose in her heart, like a frightened little bird fluttering incessantly in its cage.
But she still forced herself to appear calm and composed, forcing a fake smile on her face, and continued to chatter on and on in the ward as if nothing had happened.
Xia Wan, meanwhile, absentmindedly responded to Xia Shuhua's words, occasionally interjecting with seemingly casual but actually malicious remarks to test her, while her eyes were fixed on every subtle change in Xia Shuhua's facial expression.
She was like a seasoned hunter, always ready to seize any weakness her prey might reveal.
"Little System, are you kidding me? To me, she seems to know almost nothing about the 21st century! Could it be that my judgment is wrong?"
Xia Wan pondered to herself, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.
She began to doubt her initial judgment, wondering if she had been misled by the system's prompts.
【Host, this system can tell you with absolute certainty that, after rigorous testing, the compatibility between Xia Shuhua's current soul and this body is shockingly low. Clearly, she is definitely not the original owner of this body.】
But host, please don't jump to conclusions yet. Although we can confirm that she's not the original, we still don't know for sure where she came from!
