When I got home, I took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. I sat in front of the mirror, looking at myself reflected back. The woman in the mirror had fair skin, delicate features, and a graceful figure. Although I was already thirty, I looked like a girl in her twenties. I reached out to touch my face. This body was something I had exchanged my life for. I would definitely cherish it.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw a message from my younger brother. "Sister, how's it going abroad?" I stared at the screen, a cold smile creeping onto my lips. It seemed that my brother and An Xin were quite close. Of course, they had been together for a while now; how could they not stay in touch? What they didn't know was that I had been reborn. I wouldn't let them succeed.
With that thought in mind, I replied to Liu An. "Not much." Liu An quickly responded, "Oh really?" "I thought you would be having a great time." I replied, "I'm okay, just a bit regretful." "Regretful about what?" "Regretful that I didn't have surgery back home; otherwise, Xinxin could have come to visit me at the hospital." "Tell Xinxin not to think about me anymore; we won't see each other again." Liu An didn't reply after that.
I let out a cold laugh. Liu An, just wait and see.
One day, I will make you understand what pain is.
In the evening, Zhang Zhao went out and came back. He was holding a bag.
"Cece, I bought you a set of skincare products. Try them and see if they work for you."
I took the bag and looked inside; it was a set of international brand skincare products.
I smiled and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Zhao ruffled my hair, saying, "No need to be so polite with me."
"Come on, wash your face. I'll help you apply it."
I nodded with a smile, "Okay."
After washing my face, Zhang Zhao applied the skincare products for me. His movements were gentle and careful.
I gazed at his handsome profile, feeling warm inside.
"Zhang Zhao, it's so nice to have you."
Zhang Zhao smiled lightly, "Silly girl."
"It's only right that I treat you well."
"Who told you to be my wife?"
I nodded with a smile, "Mm."
"You are also the closest person to me."
Zhang Zhao replied, "Of course."
"I'm much more reliable than your brother."
I chuckled, "That's true."
"He doesn't even count as my family."
Zhang Zhao asked in confusion, "Why?"
I replied calmly, "Because he is nothing but a beast."
Zhang Zhao was taken aback, "You... why do you say that about your brother?"
I looked at him and said each word clearly, "Because I hate him."
Zhang Zhao fell silent. After a while, he gently patted my shoulder.
"Alright, don't think too much about it."
"Cece, whatever decision you make, I will support you."
I nodded, "Thank you, Zhang Zhao."
"You should go take a shower; I'm going to sleep now."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "Okay."
The next morning, as soon as I got up, I received a call from Stepmother.
"Cece, when are you coming back?"
I replied calmly, "I'm not coming back for now."
Stepmother shouted angrily, "What about your brother?"
"He is about to undergo surgery!"
"Weren't you supposed to give him money?"
I coldly responded, "Did I not say that I won't give him any more money?"
My mom yelled, "You heartless dog!"
"How dare you not give your brother money?"
"Don't you fear the consequences?"
I sneered, "I'm not afraid; so what?"
"What can you do to me?"
Stepmother was so furious she couldn't speak.
I hung up the phone directly.
I put down my phone, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.
I cannot be angry.
I cannot get upset over that kind of life.
It's not worth it.
