Jiang Xiwan followed behind him and wiped her tears. There was a burning pain around her eyes. She looked around at the familiar road and the familiar scenery and felt dazed.
Before long, Jiang Xiwan said, "Thank you. I'm sorry for just now. I know the way!" She thanked him again, then ran towards a small path, ignoring how his eyebrows came together in a frown as she passed him.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Xiwan arrived at the home registered to her name. She had always liked silence, but the surroundings were cold and quiet, and the flowers at the door had withered. The silence seemed deadly.
She calmed herself down, took out the key from under the flowerpot next to her door, and let herself inside. She tried to not think about anything and walked straight to her room. Then, she went to the innermost layer of her wardrobe and retrieved the safe that was inside.
Her passbook and jewelry were all kept in the safe. Fortunately, it was double-locked, and no one but Jiang Xiwan would have been able to get past her security system.
All the treasures from her past life were in front of her, but there was one diamond ring that she couldn't take her eyes off. It was the least valuable one, but it had been a birthday gift from Lin Xi. She thought, at the time, that he was going to propose to her. She had waited for so long, but there was no response. In the end...
She quickly shook her head. She did not want to think about the scene from the movie of her past life where the sweetness was actually poisonous and rotten. She stopped looking at the presents and put them all back into the safe. She found the passbook at the bottom. There were three accounts in total, and each of them was worth a million shares. She had originally intended to donate them to charity, but now they were like a panacea.
Jiang Xiwan put the passbook in the inner pocket of her clothes. She stood up abruptly, put the safe back in its original place, and walked to the dressing table.
Hung above the dressing table was a large poster of her. Her bright smile shone and the delicate corners of her eyes were raised. She was as beautiful as a vixen. As she stood in front of the dressing table, she could not help but put her hand to the mirror when she saw her young and tender face...
When she thought about how she had been the best actress and had ended up harmed to such an extent, she realized that she could only blame herself for not seeing people clearly!
'Su Nuanyu,' she thought, 'I will pay you back for everything you've done to me!'

It was not as difficult to leave as it had been to enter. The security guard thought that she was Young Master Li's girlfriend and even smiled at her. Xiwan let out a sigh of relief and took advantage of the night to rush home.
When Xiwan returned home, it was already very, very late. The basement was brightly lit and the mother of the body was waiting for her.
When she saw Xiwan return, she quickly stood up. "Wanwan, where have you been? Have you only just come back? Does your head still hurt? Have you taken your medicine?" One by one, the questions poured out like beans.
Xiwan was stunned. Looking at the woman's aged face, and those eyes that could not hide their concern, the corners of her own mouth curled up slightly. "I went out for a walk. I'm sorry, Mother. I came back so late and made you worried."
"Does your head still hurt? Have you taken the medicine?"
Xiwan shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I'll go take it now."
Late at night, she took out her passbook. Although it was only three million yuan, less than one-tenth of her savings, this amount of money could help her get out of this predicament and do what she needed to do.
At six-thirty in the morning, the sun finally shone through the clouds. At that time it was so early that even the office workers had not woken up yet.
Xiwan's mother had already left to set up the morning stall. When Xiwan woke up, she saw the soy milk, porridge, and side dishes on the table, as well as the medicine she had to take this morning. Warmth flowed through her heart. How long had it been since she had enjoyed this kind of kinship and care?
Xiwan finished her breakfast and went out for a walk. Although she was no longer a celebrity, the habits that she had developed over the years couldn't be changed overnight.
When she went out, she looked up and saw the strong blue of the sky finally emerging from behind the pure white clouds. She could not help but sigh. Finally, there was a clear blue sky in City B.
After walking slowly for two rounds, her fair skin dripped with crystal beads of sweat. Her cheeks had become pink like plump and tender apples, ready to be bitten into. Many morning joggers could not help but turn their heads as they passed by this exquisite girl. Some young men even whistled at Xiwan.
Xiwan jogged home slowly and washed her face. Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, she was in a daze again.
Even after looking at her new face for more than a month, she still felt a little out of place. This was also a young and beautiful face. She was not as beautiful as she had been in her former life, but she was still so beautiful that people around her could not breathe. How could she put it? She had a fairy-like aura about her.
She caressed the skin on her cheeks. Her skin was as smooth as butter. It was good to be young. Her face was full of collagen and carried a fresh temperament unique to students. This was something that the 28 year old her hadn't had, no matter how much she took care of herself.
Her phoenix-like eyes were clear and bright. However, before the strange incident, her predecessor had been used to hiding herself in plain black and grey clothes. She had also worn a pair of half-framed, flat, and infinite glasses, which forced her large eyes to look half their size.
She lowered her head to look at a box of cream foundation bottles that were several degrees more yellow than her own skin. She understood. With such a face, but coming from such a family, if she didn't hide her natural beauty, she would probably be in endless trouble.
However, this face also gave her the confidence to return to the entertainment industry. The pure face that Su Nuanyu was so proud of was nothing compared with this pure face, especially with light powder and make-up applied.
She didn't think too much about it. The most important thing now was to return to the entertainment industry.
She patted her face and returned to bed. She took out an old handbag and found her ID card, bank card, and phone.
All of this had to be redone.
* * *
She canceled all the bank cards and opened a new account. She didn't change the password; she wanted to be reborn.
She took only one million yuan from her passbook and put it onto her new card. Then she bought a new cell phone and another new card. After doing all of this, she finally felt like she was Jiang Xiwan.
Now, the only thing left was to return to that place.
That woman, the best friend, that she had once loved with all her heart.
She didn't know that Su Nuanyu hated her so much. So much so that sleeping with the man she loved, even taking her life, wasn't enough. for her that she had slept with the man Jiang Xiwan loved. Su Nuanyu had made her infamous and had stolen the Grand Slam record that she always wanted to destroy!
She would never forget that sentence: "Jiang Xiwan, do you know why I want you to die? Because I hate you!"
"I want you to die at your most glorious time. Then you'll see that no matter how glorious you are, no matter how much you've sacrificed behind the scenes, I still slept with your man and stepped on you to get to the top. The best friend of the tragic movie queen will never lack headlines, and you... Go to hell and hate me."
