"Miss Xiang Wan? Miss Xiang Wan? Can you hear me?"
Who is calling me?
Xiang Wan forced herself to endure the headache, struggling to open her eyes. Before her were several doctors and nurses in white coats, anxiously calling out to her.
She gazed at them in confusion.
"Great, Miss Xiang, you're finally awake! Do you remember what you touched or ate before you fainted?" The doctor looked at the young girl before him seriously and asked softly.
"I… I don't remember." Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment before responding.
"It's fine. Focus on resting for now. When you're feeling better, we'll conduct some tests." The doctor, disappointed with not getting any information, turned and went to get some medicine.
In the spacious room, Xiang Wan was alone. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and couldn't quite grasp the situation.
Wasn't she at a party on the ferry? She remembered falling into the water, but how did she end up here?
Her mind was filled with doubts. She hadn't had a chance to think deeply when the door was pushed open.
"Oh my, my dear young lady, how are you? Why did you faint like that? It must be the lack of nutrition from food overseas. I'll research some herbal remedies to nourish you properly!" Chen Ma looked at the young girl before her worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xiang Wan looked at the person in front of her in a daze.
This person was so familiar and affectionate as soon as she entered the room. Who could she be? Could she be her mother? But… her mother didn't look like this either. Besides, she hadn't gone overseas? What was going on?
Could she have transmigrated???
"Are you alright?" Chen Ma stared at her skeptically.
"The doctor said I'll be fine after taking medicine. It's nothing serious," Xiang Wan quickly replied, afraid of revealing anything.
"Then I'll go prepare some delicious food for you. The little princess loves the pancakes made by Chen Ma the most." Chen Mama didn't doubt further and quickly headed to the kitchen.
So she was called Chen Ma. Xiang Wan calmed herself down and secretly remembered this name.
Soon, Chen Ma returned with a meal that was light but full of flavor. Xiang Wan finished her meal, took her medicine, and prepared to rest. Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a servant outside informing Chen Ma that a guest had come to see her.
"Miss, Mr. Yang is here to visit you. After you returned to the country, didn't you want him to take you out? Now he's here," Chen Ma said cheerfully as she looked at Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan didn't know whether to lie down or stay sitting. She could only sit up again. After all, it was the uncle 'she' had been eagerly anticipating.
"Wan'er, don't get up. Lie down quickly. I was worried, so I came to see you" Yang Heng looked at the young girl in front of him dotingly. "I already know the reason. Do you remember why you fainted? You've been fine all these years, why did something happen at this time?"
Xiang Wan keenly caught the words 'this time' in his sentence. What could be happening now? Could there be some hidden reason behind her fainting?
"I don't know." Xiang Wan adhered to the principle of speaking less to avoid mistakes. She would answer questions only if asked.
"Well then, I'm relieved to see that you're fine. I'll stay in Xiang Jiang for the next few days. If you need anything, you can find me." Yang Heng said, looking at the slightly wilted young girl. He thought she needed proper rest.
"Didn't you want to stroll around Xiang Jiang before? Once you're feeling better, I'll take you out!" Yang Heng was very fond of the child from his close friend's family. His friend had entrusted him to take care of his granddaughter before he passed away.
"Sure!" Xiang Wan feigned delight as she responded.
Due to work commitments, Yang Heng couldn't stay long. After giving Xiang Wan some advice, he left.
Xiang Wan asked Chen Ma to close the bedroom door, claiming she was a bit tired and needed to rest. Chen Mama exited the room.
Once there was no movement around her, Xiang Wan began to examine the room. Antique furniture, decorations, dressing mirrors, and more—all unfamiliar to her.
She got out of bed and began to search for anything related to this body. She walked to the dressing table.
She saw that there was an information bag on the bookshelf on the table. There were various documents inside. She wasn't sure what the reason was, but they were exactly what she needed.
Xiang Wan was shocked as she looked at the documents. The photos on the documents showed a girl who looked exactly like her but noticeably younger. The name was the same—Xiang Wan—but the age was different; the girl was only 18 years old.
Xiang Wan quickly looked in the mirror, and there was a youthful face, the same as the person in the photo!
No way!
She looked at the scene before her in disbelief. Her first thought was, had she died? But she had not spent all her money yet!
Thinking about the substantial inheritance her mother had left her, she was enraged that it had ended up in the hands of those illegitimate children!
Yes, Xiang Wan had a scumbag father.
She once had a happy and complete family, but that was before she was seven years old. When she was seven, her mother passed away, and she became a child without a mother.
Not only that, but her scumbag father wasted no time. Three months after her mother's death, he wanted to marry another woman.
Fortunately, Xiang Wan's mother had already prepared a backup plan. She left a will to protect Xiang Wan and the assets that she had left for Xiang Wan, while also restricting that scumbag father's evil deeds.
For him to take control of the company, he couldn't remarry and had to take care of Xiang Wan until she turned 20.
In the eyes of outsiders, he seemed like a playboy but was devoted to his wife. With his competence and his management of the company her grandmother had left him, women flocked to him.
The will couldn't restrict his private life, which led to the birth of many illegitimate children. The older ones were only two months younger than her, while some were even unborn.
Xiang Wan had to maintain her position as the young mistress of the family while occasionally engaging in power struggles with those illegitimate children.
Though it was tough, Xiang Wan didn't find it tiresome at all because she had to protect what her mother had left for her.
It seemed that the incident of falling into the water was a big gift from her 'little brothers and sisters'. In the end, she was still schemed against by them. Her mother must have felt so sad.
She had thought she was simply saved, but she didn't expect her soul to pass through someone else's body.
