C5 What Did You Call Me?

Shi Ranran's high heel came down hard on her hand. "Niannian, today I finally have the chance to finish you off."

"Wh... why?"

"Because my husband, Lin Moxu, wants the Tianyi Group. For him to get it, it has to be mine first. If you're alive, how could it ever be mine?"

"There's no way Moxu is your husband. He loves me."

Her desperate denial only made Shi Ranran laugh more scornfully. "He loves you? That's hilarious. If he loved you, would he have ruined your friendship with Qiao Hui, spread those photos of you, teamed up with my mom to kill your dad, tricked you into donating your corneas to me, and let me in here to finish you off?"

"No... he wouldn't do those things... he wouldn't..."

Shi Niannian murmured in despair, her heart feeling as if it were being carved out.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The day Fu Chenhan secretly transplanted the corneas to you, Moxu and I got our marriage license. Hahaha..."

"No... I'm going to kill you..."

"Niannian... Niannian..."

Shi Ranran's impatient voice pulled Shi Niannian back to the present.

"You actually dare to come here, you..."

"Niannian, what do you mean by that? Didn't we agree yesterday that I'd come over today?"

"Did we agree on this yesterday?"

Niannian felt a bit lost, like she was missing something important. Her head ached, and her thoughts were a jumbled mess.

"Yeah! But what were you doing with Chenhan just now? We clearly agreed yesterday that you'd threaten him with something drastic to make him call off the engagement. How could you let him kiss you?"

"Moxu already has issues with your engagement to Chenhan. If he finds out you let Chenhan kiss you, he'll definitely think less of you and won't want you anymore."

Niannian stared at the woman in front of her, who was talking non-stop. It was only then that she noticed how different Ranran seemed—much younger than her actual age.

Wait, what did she just say? Using a drastic threat to force Chenhan to break off the engagement? Wasn't that something from five years ago?

But Ranran said they agreed on it yesterday, and Chenhan had just mentioned he wouldn't break off the engagement, saying she'd be his fiancée and eventually his wife. So that means...

"Miss Shi, are you okay? Did Second Miss Shi..."

Mrs. Qin, who had been standing by the door, rushed in when she heard what sounded like an argument. Seeing nothing had happened in the room, her urgent questioning came to an abrupt halt.

Niannian turned to look at Mrs. Qin and noticed she seemed quite different, almost as if she had become much younger. Her earlier excitement about being alive had made her overlook many details, including how Mrs. Qin had addressed her.

Now that her emotions had calmed down a bit, she began to notice these differences. Especially when she recalled how Chenhan looked earlier—he didn't seem as frail and worn out as he had before she lost consciousness.

She also observed Shi Ranran and Mrs. Qin's demeanor and their familiar attitudes towards her. Mrs. Qin's behavior was understandable since she had always been that way, but Shi Ranran's nonchalance was puzzling, as if nothing had ever happened.

Suddenly, an unbelievable thought flashed through Niannian's mind. Despite its implausibility, the current circumstances forced her to consider that her intuition might be correct.
