Chapter 1 I'm here to find my fiancé
1978, early spring.
The train made a clanging sound as it pressed against the rails, and with a humming sound, the green train entered the station.
Xia Mi gathered her scattered thoughts, looked at the age-old buildings, and sighed softly.
Why did you wear it?
In her previous life, she agreed to go skydiving with her best friend. After jumping off the helicopter, she passed out before she even pulled the rope to open the parachute. When she woke up, she had traveled to a period novel she had read, and became a fake rich daughter cannon fodder.
This is a period novel about the theme of true and false daughters. It tells the story of the heroine Xia Yaoyao who is reborn to find her biological parents, uses information to help her family through difficulties, and finally gains love and family. It is a light-hearted, sweet and refreshing novel.
Behind every exciting story, there must be a villain being punished as a contrast to make it exciting. Xia Mi traveled through time and space to become the villain female supporting character.
In the book, after the original owner learned that the parents who had raised her for 19 years were someone else's parents, the feeling of anxiety and fear made her lose herself and gradually turn evil.
The original owner had a pretty appearance but no brains. After failing to target Xia Yaoyao many times, she always suffered the consequences and behaved in an ugly manner.
The original owner's actions chilled the Xia family, even to the point of disgust.
Xia Yaoyao gave the original owner one last way, which was to marry to Zhuifeng Island on her behalf.
The engagement between the Xia family and the Yan family was made a long time ago, and the relationship between the two families is very good. Now that the children of both parties have reached the age of marriage, hastily canceling the engagement will only hurt the relationship that has lasted for many years.
The son of the Yan family is serving in the army on Zhuifeng Island. He has now been promoted to deputy battalion commander. He has reached the age to get married and has also met the conditions for his family to accompany the army.
Xia Yaoyao suggested that Xia Mi marry him on the pretext that she had just returned home and wanted to be closer to her family.
After much deliberation, the Xia family agreed to set a strict rule for Xia Mi that she could never return to the Xia family again, otherwise her household registration would be removed, making her an illegal resident.
In order to obtain a household registration and to survive, the original owner set out on a journey to find her fiancé. She had a bumpy journey and unfortunately caught a cold on the road. She had a fever for a long time and did not receive treatment. She died quietly in the guesthouse.
Xia Mi woke up in the guesthouse. In this era where one needed a letter of introduction and a certificate to get a place to stay, after some ideological struggle, she decided to go to Zhuifeng Island to take a look.
"Comrade passengers, we have arrived at Qingcheng Station, the final stop. Please take your luggage and get off the train in an orderly manner..."
The loud voice of the female announcer is completely different from the low voice of the previous life.
Xia Mi came to her senses, stood up and picked up the small suitcase that had been under her feet.
The door was opened by the conductor, and the passengers on the train swarmed at the door, vying to get out first.
As Xia Mi stepped out of the train, a man and an old man rushed up and grabbed her tightly.
"Xiuying, you're finally back. I know I was wrong. I will never scold you again!"
The old man had gray hair and wore a red and white checkered headscarf on his head. His loose eyelids drooped, and his eyes showed deep concern. He was about sixty or seventy years old and had a kind-looking face.
"Wife, I will never scold you again. I will definitely live a good life with you in the future. We still have two children. You can't just ignore them."
The man was short and fat, with a mouthful of yellow teeth that reeked of cigarette smoke. His rough, blackened hands tightly grasped Xia Mi's wrist, and the two of them completely held her on the left and right.
"You got the wrong person. I'm not your daughter-in-law. I'm not even married yet."
As soon as Xia Mi spoke, the two of them began to howl like ghosts and begged for Xia Mi's forgiveness.
People around were not surprised, as it was very common for a daughter-in-law to run away these days. Instead, some people were glad that the two men were able to intercept their daughter-in-law.
Xia Mi immediately realized that the two men were human traffickers. Panic flashed in her eyes and she looked around for help.
"Xiuying, I beg you, just stay with Dazhuang and live your life obediently..."
Some people around couldn't stand it anymore and accused Xia Mi, "How shameless! Comrade, you are already a married woman and a mother. As a daughter-in-law, you should also have a sense of responsibility!"
This was the first time Xia Mi encountered such a situation. Seeing that public opinion had turned against her, she couldn't help but feel flustered. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with water under her eyebrows.
She was extremely anxious, and she knew that it would be useless to just keep making excuses.
At this moment, Xia Mi caught a glimpse of a strong man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. The man's cold, sharp and narrow black eyes swept towards her.
The man was wearing a grey uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His facial features were excellent, with a distinct jawline, a pair of narrow and deep eyebrows, thick eyebrows, and a high nose bridge.
Just one glance, and a cold and oppressive feeling hit me in the face.
Xia Mi saw a full sense of security in the man, and she shouted, "Husband!"
Xia Mi's cry of "husband" distracted the human trafficker, and she took the opportunity to get away and quickly ran to the man.
She pouted, her eyes reddened with grievance, tears flashing, "Husband, where have you been? I just got off the bus and was separated by people, and I was almost abducted by human traffickers."
Worried that the man would not cooperate, Xia Mi requested in a low voice.
"Comrade, I really don't know them. Please help me."
Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes, his palm was tightly held by the woman, her delicate skin pressed against the calluses on his palm, the soft touch made him stop.
Seeing that the man did not resist, Xia Mi assumed that the man agreed to help her.
She held the man's hand tightly and explained loudly to the crowd, "This is my husband. These two are definitely human traffickers. If you don't believe me, just follow us to the police station and we'll find out!"
Seeing that their plan had failed, the two traffickers ran away, blended into the crowd, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Holding so tightly, do you really think I'm your husband?"
The man raised his eyebrows and laughed softly. Xia Mi came to her senses and let go of his hand. Her face felt hot.
"No, sorry, I'm just a little scared." Xia Mifei pulled his hand away.
"She looks delicate, but she's actually smart."
Huo Jingchen lowered his eyelashes and looked at her. The woman's flawless white face had a pink blush on her cheeks, and her pair of watery almond eyes made people soften their hearts and couldn't help but feel pity for her. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly with nervousness, and her pink lips were tightly pursed in grievance.
No wonder she was targeted, she looks like a little white rabbit.
Xia Mi wanted to say a few words of thanks, but the man had already walked away with his long legs and bag on his back.
As fate would have it, Xia Mi saw the man again on the boat heading to Zhuifeng Island.
Xia Miyan, who had never been on a boat before, leaned against the window helplessly. The boat was shaking constantly, her stomach was churning, and her little face was pale.
Huge waves hit the boat, causing most of the hull to lift off into the air. Xia Mi lost her balance, and her body swayed and hit the wall next to her.
The uncomfortable nausea came over her again. She covered her mouth and stumbled outside to the deck, wanting to vomit like others did to make her stomach feel better.
Xia Mi walked out of the house, holding the handrail tightly all the way. Unexpectedly, there were several strong waves in front of her, and the boat took off again.
Her nerves suddenly tensed up and she dared not relax her strength in her hands. The whistling wind was close to her ears and the water droplets hit her face densely, causing Xia Mi so much pain that she could not open her eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Mi felt someone holding her wrist, and the warm body temperature came from her wrist, and the boat gradually became stable.
"Comrade, are you here to commit suicide?"
The familiar male voice made Xia Mi open her eyes. The man's deep eyes contained some confusion, and his tightly furrowed brows revealed his inner thoughts.
Xia Mi quickly shook her head to deny it, saying timidly, "I'm here to look for my fiancé."
"Your fiancé is at the bottom of the sea?"
Xia Mi: “…”
"If you don't want to die, then go in. With your little body, just a few more waves and you'll be at the bottom of the ocean to reunite with your fiancé."
