Chapter 4: Lily Sheng.
A girl in her teen laid on the bed in a luxurious room.
Suddenly, her peaceful face started changing like she was in extreme pain. She opened her eyes and sat up as she breathed heavily.
She looked around and frowned. "Where am I?", she asked herself.
"Didn't I die?", Jen asked herself as she looked around the room.
She looked at her hands and was surprised. She sat there on the bed for a few seconds before she stood up and ran to the bathroom and stared at the reflection in the mirror.
A beautiful innocent looking cute chubby girl stood in front of the mirror. Her green eyes were cold as ever. The body was only sixteen year old but it was beautiful and one could tell as she would turn adult it would be the kind of body that any woman would ask for and any man would die to touch.
The light brown hairs were short shoulder length. Everything about this person screamed perfection but who was this?
Jennifer took a step back when realisation hit her.
Did she reincarnated?
But isn't that only in movies and stories? How is this even possible in real life?
But it had happened. She reincarnated.
Before she could think of more things, someone knocked on the door. "Young miss, are you inside?", a middle aged voice of a lady resounded outside the door.
Jennifer looked at the door and responded with a yes after a long pause.
"Old Master is waiting for you downstairs. He asked you to come down soon", the maid said to which Jennifer responded with a yes.
Jennifer sighed as she massaged her temples. She went in front of the mirror and stared at the face. She felt as if she had seen this face somewhere but couldn't figure out where. This gave her more headache.
She groaned and decided to let it slide for now.
Taking shower, she put on her school outfit which was a black skirt, white shirt inside with a black blazer on top and a bow tie and black boots and white socks. She tied her hairs in two ponytails looking adorable and went downstairs.
She was greeted by a familiar old man as she entered the dining room but couldn't remember who he actually was. She greeted him and sat on the chair next to him.
"What happened, my lil Lily? Why are you so quiet today? Is something bothering you?", the old man asked worriedly.
His grand daughter was a bubbly and talkative child though she was sometimes arrogant and indifferent so he was worried that she was bothered by something.
Suddenly Jennifer felt something hit her and she looked up.
Lily. Yes, that's the name.
Lily Sheng, heiress of Sheng Corporation, the third richest family in the world after the Andres who were the second. Lily was Chinese-American. Her parents abandoned her when they felt she was a good for nothing.
Lily was the youngest daughter of her parents, you can say more like the third unwanted child.
She was spoiled rotten by her family. Well, that's what everyone outside thinks.
She had a bad reputation everywhere because of her bad scores in school, bad attitude and impatient personality.
After being abandoned by her parents, the Old Sheng took her in. She was his favourite grandchild among everyone because she was kind and never let anyone feel inferior to herself which he liked.
She was innocent and was easy to take advantage of but he liked her.
In the past, Sam once took Jennifer to Sheng mansion and that's where Jen saw the little girl. She was a very talkative child but at the same time she was timid and very submissive to everyone.
Jennifer felt another headache rise as she started massaging her temples.
"Xiao Lily, are you ok?", asked Sheng Zhou, the old Master of Shengs.
Old Master Sheng prefers living alone away from everyone with this little grand daughter of his.
"I'm fine, Mr... Grandfather."
Jennifer bowed her head slightly to show respect and then left the dining room. The old man and all the servents were surprised when they saw her bow. The little miss they knew never did that.
Jennifer took her bag and got in the car as she was drove to school. She found it funny that she had to go to school even after she got graduated and achieving a position of CEO.
But leaving everything aside, she has to now remember she is no longer Jennifer but Lily.
As Jennifer entered the class room she saw everyone staring at her. The school had all the kids from prestigious families but everyone looked down on Lily since she was abandoned by her parents.
Not many people knew that the old Master took her in sincs it wasn't even a couple months yet.
"Oh look the abandoned child is here", a girl laughed as she gave a disdainful look to Lily. Lily looked at the girl with her usual gaze and the girl felt a current fear rush in her body.
Though it was body of Lily, Jennifer who was known to scare people with her single glance was controlling the body so it was normal for people to get scared. Her one gaze would give a person warning that she could kill you without a single thought.
"Wh-What are you looking at?", The girl asked as she gulped and avoided looking straight into Lily's eyes.
Lily's face held a calm expression as she spoke, "Looking at the scared Kitty."
Everyone in the classroom gasped.
No one could understand how this little girl suddenly turned so calm. Lily was known for throwing tantrums around and she would always get scolded and looked down upon but today everything was different.
...
It took Jennifer only a day to get to know everything about Lily and this new body of hers.
The body was beautiful but very weak. It needed a lot of training. Lily had a bad reputation in her family and everyone looked down upon her. She was a submissive child but no more.
Jennifer was the exact opposite of what Lily was.
In the evening, Lily went to the study room of the old Master Sheng. He was surprised to see her there as she would never come to his study room unless she wanted something from him but today she said she had something to speak.
Lily and her grandfather sat on the couch as he waited for her to speak.
"Grandfather, I want two years", Lily spoke in a calm tone as she looked at the old man. The man examined her from head to toe and realised his grand daughter seemed a lot different today.
Her posture was straight like that of a noble lady. The aura surrounding her was like that of a Queen who was born to rule. Her big round green eyes were clear and sharp. Her voice was firm.
She suddenly seemed a lot mature than her age. It was as if she was not Lily but someone else which obviously she was.
The old Master was a bit suspecious but nonetheless he heard what she had to say and agreed to her.
"I wonder when my Xiao Lily grew so much", he said while patting her head.
She looked at him blankly but didn't speak anything.
In the past, she was known for having the least EQ with a high IQ.
She always felt it hard to express her emotions. It was as if she had no emotions unless she was in front of Sam.
After a while she stood up and went back to her room.
Lily sat on her study table and went through random news on laptop but just then she saw the news that was in uproar. She clicked on the piece of news and started reading it.
[Samuel Andres, the CEO of Andres Groups, plans a big one year memorial ceremony for his late beloved wife.]
She read the article and sighed.
For the world, she was dead a year back but here she was, all alive but in a new body. Her eyes fell on the picture the reporters posted along with the article.
Subconsciously, she caressed the screen of her laptop but her eyes were blank void of any emotion.
"This time I'll stand up on my feet on my own", she said looking at Sam's picture on the screen.
In the past, it was him who gave her everything in silver platter, just she had to manage everything. But this time, she'll do everything on her own.
She sighed deeply and shut her laptop.
