Chapter 458: Chapter 456: Why Does She Get All the Good Things to Herself?
She was actually not the original host.
But someone who had transmigrated into this book more than a decade ago.
She had thought that she either would become the female lead or a vicious supporting character, yet she hadn’t expected to transmigrate into the role of the male lead’s mother’s younger sister.
An insignificant character, even just mentioned in passing by others!
When she transmigrated over, the original story hadn’t even begun.
At that time, the Feng family had already established a connection with the Song family, arranging for Feng Xiran to marry into the family.
In an attempt to change her destiny, she volunteered to marry into the Song family, but was rejected by the Fengs, and, feeling indignant, she even went to Song Gu, only to be similarly rejected by him.
She and Feng Xiran were obviously twins, so why could Feng Xiran marry Song Gu, while she couldn’t?
Later on, she harbored resentment and planned to scheme against Song Gu, only to be directly thrown by this man to a gang of thugs who violated her.
After she disclosed this incident to the Feng family, they felt she was a disgrace and wanted to quickly marry her off, arranging for her to become the wife of a boss over forty, only for her to find out not long afterwards that she was pregnant.
Feng Xixi was not willing to accept this, so relying on her knowledge of future plot developments, she intentionally swapped her daughter with the original female lead.
Song Gu did not like her, did he?
Well, she would let her daughter steal the female lead’s identity and then marry into the Song family!
Even if he was reluctant, he could only watch helplessly!
After switching the two children, she explicitly seduced Lu Dagui, unexpectedly bumping into that child.
Naturally, she could not let this information leak, so she directly took action in an attempt to eliminate the troublesome child.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist lived up to her title; even after being pushed down the stairs, she was still alive, only having lost her memory.
Feng Xixi had originally planned to wait for the original story to start, but unfortunately, due to Feng Xiran’s madness, the Fengs lost their standing in the Shangjing Circle, and she was forced to go into hiding abroad.
She had waited so many years, planning to wait until her daughter, Xia Wenjin, successfully snagged Song Sinian, so she could successfully establish herself in the Song family.
She could have never anticipated that what she would end up waiting for was news that her daughter had nearly died in a foreign country!
Feng Xixi looked at Xia Wenjin, who was sitting on the bed with a injured face, and her frown deepened.
She considered herself knowledgeable about the plot, so she had acted recklessly in Country X, never bothering with the domestic story.
After all, Xia Wenjin had also been taken out of the country by the Xia family, and she felt there was no need for her to follow along or wait in China.
If she had known things would turn out this way, she would have absolutely stayed with Xia Wenjin the entire time to see where things had gone wrong!
Feng Xixi took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her expression calm, before slowly saying, "I’ve also lived in China for a while, is this Lu family you mentioned part of the Shangjing Circle? Perhaps I knew them before."
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, struggling to maintain a gentle smile.
Xia Wenjin might have felt a sense of closeness because she believed Feng Xixi had saved her, and thus spoke the truth to her, "My family is indeed from the Shangjing Circle’s Lu family, but then my father’s investments failed, and our family went bankrupt..."
"The Lu family went bankrupt?" Feng Xixi’s eyes flickered again.
She took several deep breaths to prevent her emotions from showing.
Feng Xixi chuckled lightly, "I haven’t returned to China for a long time, the changes in the Shangjing Circle really are huge..."
Xia Wenjin nodded her head and, seeing that Feng Xixi truly meant her no harm, she began to open up, "I have also recently returned to the country, so I don’t know much either, but the changes in the Shangjing Circle are indeed quite significant."
As she said this, she suddenly thought of Lu Zhaozhao.
Ever since she was acknowledged by the Xia Family, it was as if she had hit the jackpot.
Not only did the Xia Family members dote on her, but even a man like Song Sinian, who was indifferent to women, was at her beck and call.
She hadn’t acted in many TV dramas in the entertainment industry, yet she was incredibly popular with netizens. Why?
Why did all the good things have to be monopolized by her?
Xia Wenjin then thought of her own misfortune and her resentment towards Lu Zhaozhao grew heavier. If she hadn’t been acknowledged by the Lu Family back then, would everything Lu Zhaozhao had now belong to her?
Seeing Xia Wenjin’s spirits were low, Feng Xixi decided to sit at the edge of her bed, "Since I have nothing else to do, why don’t you tell me about the happenings in the Shangjing Circle? Like any exciting events..."
"..."
Xia Wenjin just sat there in a daze without speaking.
At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts about Lu Zhaozhao, and she hadn’t paid any attention to what Feng Xixi was saying.
Feng Xixi thought her previous words had been too eager and quickly explained, "I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I just feel that it’s a twist of fate for us to meet in a foreign country, and that’s why I wanted to know about the domestic affairs."
Xia Wenjin came back to her senses and realized that she had missed what Feng Xixi had just said.
But she quickly grasped the question from her explanation.
Xia Wenjin pursed her lips and then slowly began to speak, "It’s okay, Sister Feng. Since I’m convalescing and don’t have much to do, it would be nice if I could chat to entertain you."
She was actually a bit afraid that she was of no use to Feng Xixi.
So when she heard that she wanted to listen to domestic affairs, she suddenly found a direction.
If she could please this woman, perhaps she might be able to stay in this country, at least until she had figured out how to take revenge on Xiao Jinglan. For now, she had to depend on the woman before her.
Thinking this, Xia Wenjin spoke again, "The most sensational event in the Shangjing Circle has to be the discovery that the wife of the Song Group is the biological daughter of the XJ Corporation. It created quite a stir online."
In fact, even if she had not mentioned it, Feng Xixi could have found out on her own.
So, Xia Wenjin simply used that incident to introduce her own identity as well.
"And the unfortunate gold-digger they’re talking about is me."
That’s how everyone online was describing her now, and a bit of self-mockery wouldn’t hurt, making it easier for others to believe she had her own difficulties.
Sure enough, Feng Xixi’s expression turned complicated for a moment, "Why did you leave the Xia Family for the Lu Family in the first place? Didn’t the Xia Family treat you well?"
They were supposed to be the protagonists’ parents, the kind of parents who would cherish their child like a treasure.
She had switched her out initially because of the good nature of Mr. and Mrs. Xia.
Xia Wenjin shrugged and gave a wry smile, "It wasn’t bad, I guess. According to the netizens, they provided for me, bought me all kinds of bags, clothes, and shoes, but they just never revealed my identity as Miss Xia. I should have been content with just that..."
Feng Xixi was taken aback. Could it be that the Xia couple had noticed something?
Otherwise, why would they not reveal her identity?
Feng Xixi pursed her lips and suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore; after all, these events happened before the start of the story...
