Jiang Ran is begging for food.
She squatted on the ground, her thin, dark body shivering in the cold wind.
In front of her lay a crumpled piece of white paper, on which was written in a distorted hand: 'Request for help: 2 yuan for bus fare and 20 yuan for chicken leg rice.'
Seeing how thin and weak she was, a kind person quickly donated 22 yuan.
After relieving herself of her hunger, Jiang Ran hopped on a bus.
The time displayed on the screen in the square was 1 p.m.
The Jiang family will be here to pick her up in an hour.
Jiang Ran got out of the car and curled up in a corner of the square. The thin, tattered clothes she wore were no match for the autumn chill.
Today is the third day since her rebirth, and she has gradually gotten used to her frail body.
Compared to the tragic death he suffered in his previous life, his current body is infinitely better.
Perhaps she was filled with too much resentment when she died, and was reborn ten years in the past.
Thinking of how she and her family were tragically killed by her scumbag father and his mistress's family in her past life, boundless hatred spread through her heart.
The scumbag father is a typical "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success in society). He deceived his mother, who came from a wealthy family, into giving him everything so that he could achieve success and become a superior person.
However, the scumbag father had planned everything in advance. He colluded with his mistress to switch his newborn daughter with his mistress's daughter when his mother was giving birth.
She wasn't taken back to the Jiang family until she was seventeen, but her good fortune didn't last long.
In the first year after returning to the Jiang family, his eldest brother died young.
The following year, my second sister was in a car accident.
In the third year, the scumbag father had become a leading figure in the industry, and his daughter with his mistress had also become a popular female celebrity.
He returned to the Jiang family openly with his mistress and her family, which angered his mother to the point of paralysis. He also forged a medical record to send himself to a mental hospital, where he suffered daily torment.
After suffering for several years, she died in a fire.
When she died, her cheating father and his mistress were having a grand wedding.
After being reborn, she finally understood one thing: why in her previous life, they always managed to ruin whatever she wanted to do before she could.
It turns out that the fake heiress possessed the ability to read minds.
In this life, it seems that everyone around me can hear my inner voice.
Furthermore, it's something she can control; she doesn't want anyone to hear it, so that person can't hear it.
An hour later.
A discreetly luxurious Rolls-Royce pulled up to the side of the road, and a tall woman stepped out of the car.
She wore a white dress, her skin was fair and flawless, and she had a generous and dignified smile on her lips.
Jiang Ran sat on the stone steps, watching the woman walking towards her, her eyes welling up with tears.
It's Mom...
When Shen Qingwan saw the person huddled on the ground like a stray cat, her eyes immediately reddened, and she rushed over without regard for her image to grab Jiang Ran's wrist.
"Xiao Ran... I'm your mother."
"Mom?" Jiang Ran blinked, feigning confusion.
"Yes... I am your biological mother. You were switched with another child at the hospital many years ago. Now I have finally found you."
Jiang Ran didn't speak, but silently recited it in her heart.
[Waaaaah, I knew she was so pretty, she must be my mom!]
[Waaaaah, she finally came to pick me up! I'll never get beaten up again!]
Hearing the voice coming from nowhere, Shen Qingwan looked around in surprise.
Finally, her gaze fell on Jiang Ran, confirming that it was the child's voice.
However, she clearly did not say anything.
Could it be her true feelings?
What happened with the beating she mentioned earlier?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingwan immediately hugged her tightly, feeling a pang of heartache, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Her poor daughter, how much suffering she must have endured in the past.
[Mom's embrace is so warm; I wish I could stay with her forever.]
Shen Qingwan raised her hand and gently ruffled Jiang Ran's messy hair, her expression softening unconsciously.
"Good boy, come home with Mommy."
Shen Qingwan led Jiang Ran into the car, lovingly taking out a silk handkerchief to wipe her dirty little face, her eyes full of heartache.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Jiang family villa.
Shen Qingwan took Jiang Ran's hand and led her inside. From a distance, Jiang Ran noticed the two people walking towards them.
Jiang Xinrou was pushing Jiang Huaijing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, towards them.
"Big brother... will Mom abandon me after she has a little sister...?"
"How could your mother abandon you when she loves you so much? Don't worry! I will only ever recognize you, Jiang Xinrou, as my sister. You are the best sister in the world. If anyone dares to bully you, I will never let them get away with it."
As he spoke, Jiang Huaijing's sinister gaze swept over the dirty little girl who was walking towards him.
She was all dirty, and I heard she came from the countryside. How could she compare to Xinrou!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinrou smiled gently and tenderly, and began to massage his shoulders with great care.
"My eldest brother is the best eldest brother in the world."
Jiang Huaijing raised his eyebrows with a hint of pride after receiving Jiang Xinrou's praise, then looked at the two people who had walked up to them.
To be precise, it was Jiang Ran standing next to Shen Qingwan.
Jiang Ran was dressed in tattered, coarse clothes with several patches on her body. Her hair was messy like a bird's nest, and she was so thin that she would fall over if the wind blew her away. Her face showed signs of malnutrition and was sallow.
At the age of seventeen, he was shorter than his peers due to long-term malnutrition.
Jiang Huaijing looked at Jiang Ran in front of him, his eyes filled with both disdain and pity.
"Huaijing, Xinrou, this is your younger sister Jiang Ran."
"Oh." Jiang Huaijing nodded perfunctorily and looked away.
