"What on earth are you thinking, child? Of all things, you chose to imitate a suicide? What's so good about suicide, tormenting yourself to this state, and even writing... a suicide note..." An incessant voice buzzed in her ear.

"Mom, stop talking, haven't I realized my mistake?" If she weren't still recovering from the illness, she would have prostrated herself before Jiang Jingxian by now. Even the most reticent person couldn't withstand such constant repetition.

Caught off guard by Jiang Wan's voice, Jiang Jingxian widened her eyes in surprise.

"Little Wan! You finally decided to talk to mom; you're willing to speak to me!" Jiang Jingxian was so excited she was about to jump up, "Are you alright now? Are you in discomfort anywhere? Do you need me to call the doctor for you?"

Jiang Jingxian was not only thrilled at this moment, but also deeply moved, her eyes brimming with tears.

Jiang Wan was always a quiet and introverted person, who rarely talked, and after attempting suicide, she had been silent for three days since waking up. Initially, Jiang Jingxian assumed that Jiang Wan was going to remain mute indefinitely.

If it were the old Jiang Wan, she would probably have done as Jiang Jingxian feared, but the current Jiang Wan has been replaced by someone else.

Three days ago, she was not Jiang Wan, but Xia Yunxian.

She was a nondescript stand-in actress in the entertainment industry, serving as a stand-in for her half-sister Xia Yunhan. With her top-notch acting skills, she pushed Xia Yunhan to the throne of best actress while barely managing to make ends meet.

Sadly, Xia Yunhan did not show a shred of gratitude despite all her help.

She should have graduated from a prestigious school with a bright future. However, ten years ago, her mother was in a car accident and became comatose. For her mother's medical expenses, she was threatened by Xia Yunhan and her mother to become Xia Yunhan's stand-in.

Not long ago, her mother finally gave up and passed away. The blow to her was great, but at least she got some relief.

When she approached Xia Yunhan about not being her stand-in anymore, she was cruelly pushed into a collapsing film studio by her and lost her life.

"Little Wan, Little Wan? Are you ignoring me again? Your temperament really worries me to death." Jiang Jingxian reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Jiang Wan's ear, her expression was kind and her action gentle.

Jiang Wan snapped back to reality, "Mom, what did you just say?" Whenever she ended up immersed in her memories, she was unable to pull herself out, not paying attention to what Jiang Jingxian was saying.

"I mean, your older brother is coming to visit you soon, so you'd better stop brooding." Jiang Jingxian said with a worried expression.

"You said what? My... my elder brother?!" Jiang Wan's eyes widened in surprise, and her face paled in an instance.

Isn't her so-called older brother just that well-known incumbent CEO of the Huo Corporation, Huo Shiqin?

"Why are you always so afraid of him? He may seem a bit unapproachable on the surface, but he's a very good person..." Jiang Jingxian sighed helplessly. Every time Jiang Wan saw Huo Shiqin, she would shy away, keeping her head down. If Jiang Jingxian didn't know her daughter's timid nature, she would have thought that Huo Shiqin had bullied Jiang Wan.

Of course, Jiang Wan knew how good and outstanding Huo Shiqin was. Maybe the original master of her body was scared of Huo Shiqin, but she wasn't.

She was just astonished.

The man beyond reach in her past life, the one she could only take a peek at from a shady corner, was now her brother.

Maybe they truly lacked fate. Whether she had the chance to reincarnate or change her identity, a romantic relationship between them was impossible.

She had to let go of all the inappropriate thoughts. From now on, she would dutifully take on her role as Huo Shiqin’s sister.

"Although ours is a blended family, Huo Yang and his son have never treated us as outsiders." Seeing Jiang Wan silent, Jiang Jingxian worriedly advised, "We’ve ignored you for many years because of your younger brother's affairs. I want to apologize to you. But if anything's troubling you, please share it with me and don’t bear it alone. You..."

At this point, Jiang Jingxian couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "You actually tried to commit suicide. Have you ever considered how I would fare if anything happened to you? Do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?"

Seeing Jiang Jingxian crying her heart out, Jiang Wan felt discomfort too. Even though Jiang Jingxian was the mother of her body's original owner, she could feel the emotions behind it.

"Mom, see, I'm okay now, aren’t I? Don't worry. I won't do anything foolish again," Jiang Wan held Jiang Jingxian's hand and comforted her.

When she was Xia Yunxi, each day was spent in despair. But never once did she consider ending her own life. Now she was Jiang Wan, with a mother who loved her deeply and the chance to interact with Huo Shiqin closely. Although the relationship had changed, she couldn't be more satisfied.

Therefore, from now on, she was going to live as Jiang Wan. She would use the advantages of being Jiang Wan to live a thrilling life that would belong to both of them.

"Alright, alright, Mom believes you, they say every cloud has a silver lining; don't cause your mom any more heartache, okay? As for that person you secretly like, what was his name again...? That guy you mentioned in your suicide note..." Jiang Jingxian nodded repeatedly, then switched topics.

Faced with Jiang Jingxian’s serious inquiry, Jiang Wan felt a bit dazed.

"By the way, Mom, where did you put my suicide note?" She didn't care who the man mentioned in the note was, all she wanted to know was where the note was now!

It was written when the original owner was extremely emotionally unstable, and she could only recall a small part of its content. Despite being such a small part, she found it quite embarrassing, and if an outsider were to see it, she thought she might just die of shame again.

"I gave it to your elder brother," Jiang Jingxian said. "You know your younger brother's condition, he can't be left alone, but I can't rest easy with you like this either, so I asked your elder brother to help me keep an eye on you in the future. You can support each other, and your Uncle Huo and I can also rest assured..."

Jiang Jingxian calmly stated her current plan, until she was interrupted by a dumbfounded Jiang Wan.

"Wait a moment, Mom, can you pause for a moment? What did you just say? Where did you put my suicide note?" Jiang Wan felt that there must be something wrong with her ears, otherwise, how could she have heard such a terrifying comment?

"I left it with your elder brother," Jiang Jingxian replied nonchalantly. "Both your elder brother and your Uncle Huo have been quite busy recently, but your elder brother said he would find time to come see you today, he should be on his way... Eh, Xiao Wan, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Halfway through, Jiang Jingxian noticed Jiang Wan clutching her chest, with a blank expression on her face, looking like she had lost the will to live, which gave her quite a scare.

"Mom, I just need to confirm, my elder brother is Huo Shiqin, right?" Jiang Wan clutched her heart, which felt like it was about to stop beating, and looked up at Jiang Jingxian with despair in her eyes.

"Heh, you didn't hit your head, did you? Didn't you slit your wrists?" Jiang Jingxian reached out and touched Jiang Wan's forehead, "If your elder brother isn't Huo Shiqin, then who else could he be?"

Upon receiving this confirmation, Jiang Wan's eyes rolled back in her head and she passed out.

"Ah! Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, what’s wrong with you?" Seeing this, Jiang Jingxian quickly got up and ran out of the ward, shouting along the way, "Doctor! Doctor, please come and see my daughter, she suddenly passed out!"
