Chapter 2

Gu Yuan looked at the woman in her forties that stood in front of her in surprise. There were very obvious crow feet, some dark spots that cannot be covered by the thick layer of foundation, sagging skin as well as the very obvious laugh lines that cannot be hidden.

[TN: crow's feet – wrinkle at the side of the eyes.]

Through the traces left by these years, she was still able to recognize the younger sister that was younger than her by 3 months.

Gu Yuan's mother died when she was 12 years old. At that time, her father remarried again and her stepmother brought along a daughter that became her younger sister. Both their ages were separated by a few months, so they attended the same class in the same school. After being together for a few months, there were a lot of fights. Therefore, Gu Yuan's waipo appeared and took Gu Yuan away to take care of her personally. After that only things finally settled down.

[TN: waipo – maternal grandmother]

Later, Gu Yuan had a terminal disease, also passed away, and the money left by to treat her illness was also "borrowed" by her stepmother to be used as this younger sister's expenses when studying abroad.

These matters, Gu Yuan had always kept them in mind. Whenever she thought about it, she felt very angry, wishing she could just rush over and beat up the fat Gu Yue.

But maybe the world had changed too much upon her waking up or maybe looking at the Gu Yue who had stepped into middle age, her heart actually felt amazed. She curiously looked at Gu Yue up and down: "Gu Yue, is that you? I'm your Jiejie, Gu Yuan. It's been many years since we last met."

[TN: Jiejie – older sister]

Gu Yue's mouth was wide open, not a word came out from her mouth.

Her daughter, Peng Zihan, standing at the side and looked at Gu Yuan as if she's looking at a mental case: "Who are you? Is there something wrong with you?"

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yue's daughter: "You're called Zihan? I am your Yiyi, your mother's Jiejie. Zihan, when talking to elders you need to be polite, do you know?"

[TN: Yiyi = maternal aunty, mother's younger/older sister]

She can't help but felt good when she looked at this niece who was even older than her.

Money was just a worldly possession. She just had a sleep and already can defeat everyone with her beauty and youth.

Peng Zihan: "???"

Gu Yue's face was filled with doubts: "You, You're really Gu Yuan?"

Gu Yuan naturally knew that Gu Yue did not believe her, she then touched her own face. Didn't know if it was because of the nutrients fluids fed to her when she was still in deep-freeze was too nutritious for after she woke up, her skin was in even better condition compared to before her deep-freeze. It's bright, smooth and tender just like a newly peeled boiled egg white. Thinking about this, she felt very satisfied.

She smiled at Gu Yue: "Meimei, do you feel I have any difference compared to 25 years ago? You can't find any differences right? Then I'm really your Jiejie, the real deal and not a fake. How can this be false, right?"

[TN: Meimei = younger sister]

Gu Yue with her saggy skin and wrinkles: "..............."

It was because there's no difference between now and 25 years ago that there's something wrong here!

25 years, she herself already a middle-aged woman, how can Gu Yuan look so young?

Looking at Gu Yue shocked with the sour and uncomfortable look, Gu Yuan felt very good: "You didn't know? I've failed my surgery and was put into deep-freeze. Now that science and technology developed rapidly, I was also cured of my disease and was then taken out from my deep-freeze state."

While she spoke, she walked past the shocked and dumbfounded Peng Zihan and Gu Yue as well as both the old and young men. Entering the apartment, she looked at the furnishings that were completely different from the original, she frowned: "How did you all live in my home? How did my home become like this? What did you guys do?"

Gu Yue finally reacted at this time.

Gu Yue remembered, that time it was said that the surgery was a failure and Gu Yuan was put into deep-freeze. But at that point in time, she thought deep-freeze meant Gu Yuan already died. She had always thought Gu Yuan was already dead for the past 25 years.

Unexpectedly, she was alive again?

She stared at Gu Yuan: "This is now my home, this apartment is now mine. I have already inherited this apartment."

Gu Yuan: "You inherited this apartment?"

Gu Yuan suddenly became angry. They had a long history of animosity, originally she already did not want to bicker with her but in the end, now she was told that even her own apartment and home also Gu Yue wanted to occupy?

Gu Yue: "You might not know after you had been deep-freeze, father inherited this apartment. Afterwards, father gave this apartment to me. Right now the apartment is already under my name."

Peng Zihan who was standing at the side stunned finally reacted and rushed over: "Right, this is now our home."

The older man who was obviously Gu Yue's husband, after listening to the conversation between his wife and Gu Yuan, he was thoroughly stunned but once he heard about the apartment, he immediately puffed out his chest and reacted aggressively: "Gu Yue, who is this? This is our family home, what does it have to do with her? "

Gu Yuan simply ignored him and directly asked Gu Yue: "Where is dad?"

Gu Yue: "Dad had been dead for more than 10 years. Before he passed away, he left this apartment to me. Let me tell you again, this apartment is mine!"

Peng Zihan suddenly realized something and quickly rushed into the bedroom. She took out a title deed: "This is our title deed, the owner stated here is my mom and totally have no relation with you. Don't be like a beggar and stay at our home."

Gu Yuan gritted her teeth in anger then she looked at the mother and daughter pair: "I'm not dead yet. For what reason would I transfer my ownership to dad? How can it be transferred without my consent?"

Gu Yue jealously looked at this Jiejie of her who was younger and even more beautiful than her own daughter, gritting her teeth: "After you've been deep-freeze for 5 years, dad applied for your death certificate!"

After all, it was more than 20 years ago. At that time, a lot of procedures can be done without going through a lot of channels. After they got her death certificate, everything also became easier to do. They divided the money in Gu Yuan's bank card among themselves and they also inherited her apartment. Even all of her other things, those that can be taken and divided also they do not let go while those that they have no use of were all disposed of.

Anyway, everything that used to belong to Gu Yuan already long gone from this world.

Death certificate?

Gu Yuan was dumbfounded.

So, when the people in the institute haven't given up on her and still maintain the survival of her body at a high cost, her only close relative, her dad, had already long given up on her and can't wait to apply a death certificate for her.

Looking at the loss looked in Gu Yuan eyes, Gu Yue smiled proudly: "Good , although you're young and beautiful but this apartment is really mine now. If you wish to have it back also can, just go and find dad. This apartment was given to me by dad and not by you. Right ——"

Then, Gu Yue suddenly remembered something: "That jade pendant of yours, dad also gave it to me."

When Gu Yuan heard it, she immediately quivered and almost wanted to rush over to give Gu Yue a slap.

That jade pendant was a memento left by her mother for her!

Dad actually gave the jade pendant left by her mother to Gu Yue!!

Peng Zihan saw something was not right and immediately rushed out: "What do you want to do? Do you want to hit someone? This is our apartment, if you wish to hit someone we'll dial 110 immediately. Get lost!"

...

The following situation was in total chaos, Gu Yue's husband and Peng Zihan's boyfriend also rushed over. With the tragic scene of 1 against 4, Gu Yuan was kicked out from the apartment and her suitcase was ruthlessly thrown out.

Her suitcase opened and a few clothes were scattered around the floor.

Gu Yue laughed proudly from behind: "So what if you're young? You're just an old antique! You know not a damn thing! Do you think this is still 25 years ago? You don't own anything now!"

At this moment, the neighbours had already been alarmed, everyone looked over in excitement to see how Gu Yue scolded this girl who came to her house. It had attracted a lot of people.

Surrounded by all the people watching, Gu Yuan lowered her head and packed back her clothes.

She had been issued a death certificate 20 years ago. She had nothing now and the apartment is not hers anymore. She estimated the balance in her bank card also was not there anymore. She sighed, the only possession she had right now is this suitcase and the 880 yuan inside it.

She had around 1000 yuan in the beginning and used 120 yuan on the taxi.

880 yuan was still a lot of money, so Gu Yuan started to make her plans. She can first rent a place for herself, then only think of a way to file a lawsuit and get back her own apartment.

However, when she properly keeps her 800 plus yuan into her pocket, Peng Zihan sneered from the side.

Just now when the suitcase was opened, everything inside the suitcase can be seen clearly.

Peng Zihan said with a smile: "Really a destitute , from top to bottom only had a few clothes and a few hundred yuan!"

Gu Yue now is also in a very good mood: "What's so good being young, you're so poor that you're no better than a beggar!"

Among the neighbours, there was an old neighbour who knew about what happened in the past. After the initial shock, he felt some sympathy towards Gu Yuan: "You better make a phone call to the real estate office and ask about how to handle a case like yours?"

Gu Yuan also thought the same in her heart, and looked at her neighbour gratefully: "I'm planning to find a phonebooth to make a call."

Neighbour: "Phonebooth??? Where's your mobile phone? Hurried call now and ask, then call a lawyer to consult with."

Gu Yuan: "Mobile phone?"

She soon understood: "The little game console that you all held in your hands is a mobile phone?"

Everyone: "..........."

Neighbour: "..........."

Gu Yue suddenly laughed until her tears almost came out: "You don't even know about mobile phones!"

The few young people on the side also felt this was very funny: "Where did you come out from that you don't even know what a mobile phone was? Do you know what a QR code was? Where did this old antique come from?"

Gu Yuan's heart was at a loss, she really didn't know anything......

The neighbour was even more sympathetic: "Do you have money now?"

Gu Yuan: "Yes, I have more than 800 yuan."

Neighbour: "....."

What can you do with 800 yuan?

Gu Yue laughed loudly after listening to their conversation. In the beginning, she was jealous of Gu Yuan's youthful face but she did not envy her at all now.

Gu Yuan was young, but she had no money, no home, no husband and no children. She did not have anything at all. Both her husband and daughter also had very good careers, only this can be called the winner of life!

The onlookers also looked at Gu Yuan sympathetically and amusingly. They had never seen such a rare occurrence. Such a rare excitement, and some people also secretly took Gu Yuan's photo and shared it in Moments.

Listening to the mockery around her, she understood that she had lost her face. There's nothing she can do. It had been 25 years and her knowledge on technology was too far behind in time.

Really became an old antique.

As she was thinking, she suddenly found that the people surrounding her had stopped laughing. Everyone was looking in surprise towards the direction of the neighbourhood doorway.

"A lot of cars came."

"There are also a lot of bodyguards, and they're all dressed in black."

"What is this all about?"

"Wasai, a long Rolls-Royce, it's a limited edition, car number 888, v5 so dominating! Damn, quick, faster take pictures! I want to share this in Moments."

[TN: Wasai – an exclamation in wonder = wow]

Gu Yue and Peng Zihan also went off to join in the excitement. This is a neighbourhood that was small and old, so it was very rare for them to see any rich people. This kind of thing had never happened before.

What everyone didn't expect was when the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, someone came out from the car while surrounded by bodyguards. He walked into the neighbourhood and stood in front of everyone.

The bodyguards surrounded a person in the middle, this person was dressed in an expensive suit. He was tall and straight, with a sword-like eyebrow that was straight and strong, starry eyes, a solemn face and a sharp breath.

Judging from the respectful manner of people around him, this person was certainly not a normal person.

Everyone was shocked. Who was this person? Was he someone's relative? How come he came to this small neighbourhood?

Peng Zihan flushed in excitement. She felt that the person was coming towards her direction?

What does this mean? Did the other person fall for her? Then can she get rid of her current boyfriend now?

Everyone just stared as the distinguished figures that completely incompatible with their neighbourhood came to them and stopped.

Peng Zihan felt her body going to float up, this person unexpectedly stood in front of her?

She suppressed the excitement in her heart, she blushed and took the initiative to said: "Sir, you looked for me——"

Before she could finish her words, she heard the handsome man say: "Mom, hello. I am your son."

Peng Zihan: "???"

Gu Yue: "???"

Onlookers: "???"
