The living room of the Su family's old house.
Jiang Sushuang and Jiang Xinyue, who were talking quietly with the man named Black Tiger, were startled by the sudden sound of the door opening.
A hint of panic and astonishment flashed in Jiang Xinyue's eyes.
She clearly increased the dosage, so how could this little slut wake up so quickly? Could it be that the drug's effects have worn off?
But she reacted quickly, immediately switching to a concerned expression, her voice sickeningly sweet:
"Oh dear, sister, you're awake? How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt? Mom and I were so worried!"
Jiang Sushuang was also taken aback, then put on a motherly smile and hurried over to help Su Tang up.
"Tangtang, why are you up? Why don't you sleep a little longer? The doctor said you need to rest. Quick, go back to bed."
Su Tang watched the mother and daughter's award-winning performance and sneered inwardly.
She swayed weakly, her voice trembling with tears:
"Mom...Xinyue...I feel so dizzy. I think I had a nightmare...I dreamt about Daddy...I was useless. I couldn't save Daddy. I'm so sad..."
Acting? Anyone can do that! Su Tang got a perfect score of SSS in acting class back in the special agent academy.
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Sushuang patted Su Tang's hand insincerely.
"How could your father blame you? He loves you the most. The most important thing for you now is to get well."
Su Tang leaned against Jiang Xinyue's arm, secretly assessing the other's strength and reaction speed.
Yeah, a total weakling.
Just like in the book, it seems this reborn woman doesn't have any other special abilities.
She sniffed, a hint of unease in her eyes, and suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" as if she had remembered something important.
He reached out and touched his empty wrists and neck.
"Mom, Xinyue, I... the jade bracelet that Mom left me, and... and the diamond necklace I usually wear, seem to be missing... Have you... have you seen them?" Her voice was timid.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled:
"Oh, sister, you mean those? You were quite sick and confused the other day, so Mom was worried you'd lose them, so she put them away for you. Don't worry, we're keeping them safe for you!"
“Yes, yes,” Jiang Sushuang quickly echoed.
“Those are all your mother’s belongings. How could your sister and I touch them? I’ll give them to you when you’re feeling better.”
Su Tang chuckled, "You talk a good game, but you've probably had your eye on this for a long time."
She looked like she was about to cry, her eyes were red, and her voice was even more choked with sobs:
"Mom, I want to see them now... Seeing them makes me feel like my own mother is still by my side... Dad is gone, and these are all I have left..."
As she spoke, she gazed at Jiang Sushuang with her misty eyes, her gaze filled with an unyielding sorrow.
It's like if I don't show it to her, she'll immediately cry herself to death.
"That little brat, she's always causing trouble!" Jiang Sushuang cursed inwardly.
But seeing Su Tang's dramatic state, they were afraid she would really cause a scene and delay the important matter of getting her on the train.
"Alright, alright, look, I'll show you now!" Jiang Sushuang suppressed her impatience.
"Xinyue, go and get your sister's jewelry box."
“Okay, Mom.” Although Jiang Xinyue was reluctant, she knew that now was not the time to cause trouble, so she turned around and went into her room.
A moment later, Jiang Xinyue came out carrying an exquisitely carved rosewood jewelry box.
Jiang Sushuang took the jewelry box and opened it in front of Su Tang.
The interior was filled with dazzling jewels, almost blinding people.
A jadeite bangle of imperial green with excellent clarity and full color, so vibrant and lustrous that it seems as if you could squeeze water out of it, is clearly very valuable.
Next to it was a platinum diamond necklace, with a main diamond as big as a pigeon egg, surrounded by tiny diamonds that sparkled under the light, making people dizzy.
These were all part of the original owner's mother's dowry and also part of the Su family's heritage.
