Chapter 2: Strange Body

Worried about her current predicament, Bai Qi walked towards the door. She heard someone talking at the door and stopped in her tracks.

"Mom, how is Ruochu now? " This female voice was very gentle, giving people a sense of enjoyment for no particular reason. Immediately after hearing her voice, they wanted to see what she looked like.

"The doctor said she hasn't woken up yet," responded a middle-aged woman. She suddenly sighed. "You worry too much about your sister. My heart aches for you. Sometimes, think about yourself. You can't always watch over others. I hope she can have a little conscience and be a good person when she wakes up."

"Mom, what are you saying? My sister is still young and insensible. I have always felt guilty for not teaching her properly..."

Hearing this, Bai Qi put her hands in her pockets and leaned against the wall. Her lips curled into a mocking smile.

Previously, she had had a good impression of this woman after hearing her gentle voice. Now, she felt that she was a villain disguising herself. Her childhood experiences in the Bai family had taught her to identify such characters.

Bai Qi did not understand why she subconsciously hid at the side to eavesdrop. It was an instinctive reaction. She frowned and went out again, ready to ask the doctor about her situation.

"Ruochu! You're awake. That's great!"

She did not expect the woman with a gentle voice to meet her at the door. Only then did Bai Qi see her face. She was dressed in a dignified and elegant manner. Her medium-parted long hair looked gentle and generous.

She was wearing the latest Dior classic style, which was affluent. Could it be that she had reincarnated into a rich young lady?

'Wait a minute!

'What did she just call me? Ruochu?

'Could it be that I'm the little sister they were talking about?'

When Zhou Yunxi saw that Bai Qi was not responding, a fit of inexplicable anger overcame her. "Gu Ruochu! Your sister is asking you a question! Are you now mute?"

Gu Ruochu. Bai Qi finally knew the name of this body. However, judging from the scene in front of her, this body was a little pathetic. It was likely that she did not get along with her mother.

Although Bai Qi's mind did not have any clues about the body's past, at least she now knew that her name was Gu Ruochu.

Sure enough, Zhou Yunxi looked at her in disgust, disappointment in her eyes.

"This car accident was retribution for your sins. If it weren't for you, your sister would have found a boyfriend. She wouldn't be criticized and mocked by others."

"Mother, I don't blame my sister."

"You're such a silly child. If you hadn't insisted on accompanying her to that damned place, would you have been kidnapped and almost raped by those people?" Zhou Yunxi roared angrily. "How could I have given birth to such a vicious daughter? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have given birth to you. I wouldn't have let you harm others."

"Mother..."

Gu Ruochu finally understood the little grudge between this body and the two women in front of her.

Was being kidnapped what the original owner had wanted? They were both victims, yet this mother had pinned all the blame her. This was too far-fetched!

Gu Ruochu rubbed her temples once again.

"Ladies, if you wish to continue fighting, please find another place. I need to rest."

Her head began to ache again. This body was too weak, she needed to rest in the hospital for a few days. She decided to contact Rong Xiao to find out more about her new body.

When she thought of Rong Xiao, Gu Ruochu remembered the fact that she was dead.

With Bai Qi's death, her old world would probably be in a state of chaos and controversy. The old man would probably feel that he could rest easy.

Unfortunately, even the Devil did not dare to take her in. Bai Qi had once again climbed out of hell.

Gu Ruochu suddenly smiled. Her smile was like a slow blooming flower, sinister and dangerous.

Her voice was still hoarse, but it shocked both mother and daughter.

Gu Ruochu had only been in a car accident. Why did her personality change so drastically when she woke up? Gu Yanwei, in particular, was very disturbed. In the past, no matter how much her mother reprimanded her, her sister would lower her head and tolerate it. She would listen to whatever her mother said.

Every time the kidnapping incident was brought up, she would feel extremely guilty.

"Mother, why does Ruo Chu Look a little strange?"

"She may have banged her head. Don't worry about her, she won't die." Zhou Yunxi did not care at all. "Yanyan, you didn't eat when you came early in the morning. I'll bring you something to eat."

When Gu Ruochu heard this conversation from inside the room, a sense of sadness engulfed her. Her body was responding to what she had heard.

Perhaps the original Gu Ruochu also loved this mother very much.

'I'm so curious...'

'Gu Ruochu, just what kind of existence are you?'

She returned to the ward and began searching for her previous host's possessions. She was the sole patient in this ward. It seemed her family was wealthy given the VIP treatment she had received while in hospital.

At the moment, Gu Ruochu only saw her so-called mother and sister. She did not know the exact details of her life.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing ringtone filled the room. Gu Ruochu looked in the sound's direction. The ringtone came from a Hermes bag. The phone was inside.

Gu Ruochu did not pick up the phone. She did not have any memories at the moment. It would be bad if she were to be exposed.

The phone was not password-protected. Gu Ruochu opened the contact list and saw a name that resounded like thunder, Huo Nanchen. As the largest arms dealer in Southeast Asia, the Bai family had dealt with Huo Nanchen many times. However, she had never seen his true face.

The Huo family had been in the military for generations. They were now the wealthiest family in the region. Every year, Huo Nanchen was at the top of the rich list. Huo Nanchen's background and legend were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. Even she did not dare provoke him!

How did this man appear on the original owner's contact list?

'I must immediately find out the ins and outs of this body. I've just reclaimed my life, I can't throw it away for no reason.'

Gu Ruochu skillfully dialed a number on her cell phone. It was Rong Xiao's.

Rong Xiao had never picked up an unfamiliar phone call. However, the unknown number had called him several times, and he finally lost his patience. "Who is it?"

Gu Ruochu had planned on explaining her situation calmly, but when the words came to her mouth, they immediately changed to, "Rong Xiao, this is Bai Qi."

"..."

There was no response. Gu Ruochu understood. Most people would be scared out of their wits if they received a call from a dead person.

As expected, Rong Xiao's roared into the phone. "Are you crazy? Is it fun to pretend to be a dead person? Aren't you wicked?"

However, he did not hang up. Even though the female voice on the other end was unfamiliar and did not sound like Bai Qi, he strangely felt that she spoke in a similar manner as Bai Qi.

'What's going on?'

Bai Qi was dead. A few days ago, they had held a burial ceremony. He and Xu Yichen cried like idiots at the funeral.

"Rong Xiao, I'm not dead. I've only changed into a new body." Gu Ruochu briefly explained her situation, "I'm in Anhe hospital. Help me investigate the patient in Vip619, on the third floor. I want to know everything about her as soon as possible."
