On the day Su Chaoxi was starved to death by her own mother, it was her birthday.
In the monitor screen before her, the parents she had pleased her entire life, her fiancé, and her brother were singing Happy Birthday to the fake heiress who had stolen everything from her since birth.
This was the happiness that Su Chaoxi had longed for her entire life.
To fit in with them, she had lost her sanity.
She had let them kill her child, murder her devoted husband, and rob her of her ten-billion inheritance.
Yet even so, in their hearts, there was only that fake heiress!
Mom despised her for getting in Su Nuannuan's way and had locked her in the abandoned basement.
She probably even forgot that she had her own biological daughter locked up down there.
Thinking of this, Su Chaoxi shed tears of regret.
Suddenly, the screen image became chaotic.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy rushed in, revealing the bomb strapped to his body.
Under the horrified expressions of this family, the boy smiled and ignited the bomb.
Su Chaoxi recognized him; it was her son, Xie Xunzhi, who had run away from home for many years!
After an explosion, Su Chaoxi was also engulfed by the flames and lost all consciousness.
...
"Mm~"
As her consciousness returned, Su Chaoxi found herself in a state of extreme pleasure.
She couldn't help but open her eyes and look overhead.
Unable to help herself, Su Chaoxi called out, "Xie... Tianyin?"
Was it a dream?
Clearly, Xie Tianyin had rushed into the burning car to save her after the explosion and was blown to bits and pieces.
Hearing movement, Xie Tianyin's eyes turned even darker, and he leaned down to bite her lips, growling viciously, "What, having regrets now?"
The low hoarse voice was so familiar it made Su Chaoxi's soul tremble.
It was him.
It was really him.
Were they still husband and wife in hell?
Seeing the tears falling from the corners of Su Chaoxi's eyes, Xie Tianyin bit his teeth even harder, and growled viciously, "One million per time, you're not at a loss, so don't give me that ghostly appearance!"
Such a familiar conversation.
It was like returning to the days when Xie Tianyin was still alive.
Su Chaoxi wanted to say something, but her lips were harshly sealed.
Then came the torrential abuse...
When Su Chaoxi woke up again, it was already daylight.
The tall and majestic man was buttoning up his shirt by the bed.
Noticing she was awake, he frowned impatiently and tossed a card to her, "Here's five million. Behave yourself recently and don't stir up any trouble..."
"Xie Tianyin... I've finally seen you again..."
Xie Tianyin stiffly turned his head and saw Su Chaoxi tightly wrapping her waist around him.
This woman, she was actually hugging him?
Xie Tianyin's heartbeat seemed to skip half a beat.
But soon, his eyes grew cold.
This woman, finding more and more tricks just for money.
He pushed her hands away impatiently, his expression darkening, "What new game are you playing now?"
Su Chaoxi was taken aback, "What did you say?"
Looking at her dazed face, Xie Tianyin sneered lightly, "What, is it not enough?"
He bent down, reached out to grab her chin, "I advise you to learn to be content, after all... out there selling, you're not worth this price."
Su Chaoxi instantly snapped back to her senses, her face flushing red quickly.
In her previous life, she had been blinded by her family, and had used all means to swindle money from Xie Tianyin.
No wonder he thought so of her.
"Xie Tianyin! It's not about the money!"
Xie Tianyin looked at her with an expression as if he had seen through her and snorted softly, then grasped her hand in return.
'Click.'
A pair of handcuffs locked her to the head of the bed.
Su Chaoxi's mind exploded, she shouted, "Xie Tianyin! What are you doing! It's been so many years since we died, stop this and let me go!"
Xie Tianyin ignored her words, straightened up, and looked down at her, "I'll be on a business trip for the next three days. You stay here and behave yourself. Someone will take care of your needs. Dare to step out, and I'll skin you!"
Su Chaoxi stared at him blankly.
Such a familiar conversation.
And the Xie Tianyin before her was excessively young.
She glanced at her tied hand, then took in the furnishings around her.
Especially the watch casually worn on Xie Tianyin's wrist, she was greatly shocked!
This watch was a birthday gift she had given him.
But it had been smashed to pieces by her in a fit of anger twelve years ago!
Yet now, it was perfectly intact on his wrist...
Could it be that she had been reborn?
As this idea surfaced, Su Chaoxi felt like she was going insane.
Xie Tianyin left quickly.
Just as the man left, a pretty little girl peeked in through the doorway, hugging her Long-eared Rabbit doll, too timid to come inside.
The moment Su Chaoxi saw the little girl, her tears were about to fall, "Mimi!"
She was her daughter who had died young, Xie Mizhi!
In her past life, Xie Mizhi was pushed down the stairs.
Her beautiful long hair was shaved off, and her head had been stitched with more than twenty stitches.
Even so, she didn't survive.
She struggled in the ICU for a full month before she died.
Thinking of her daughter's fate, Su Chaoxi couldn't help but weep uncontrollably.
Su Chaoxi wanted to go to her daughter, but her hand was locked to the bed frame, rendering her unable to move.
All Su Chaoxi could do was wave to her daughter, "Mimi, come to mommy."
Xie Mizhi, hearing her mummy's voice, felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.
It was so gentle.
Mummy had never spoken to her with such a tender voice before.
Cautiously, yet unable to resist, Xie Mizhi greedily moved closer.
Su Chaoxi pulled her daughter into her embrace, and tears suddenly fell, "Mimi..."
The beautiful and exquisite princess dress, her long and fluffy hair, and the scent of cheese sticks still lingering on her.
This was her precious daughter.
Surprised and flattered, Xie Mizhi dropped her Long-eared Rabbit doll on the ground.
The four-year-old's little face turned red as she clumsily, and gently patted Su Chaoxi's back.
She was comforting her.
Su Chaoxi's nose felt even more sour.
Her Mimi had a language disorder.
But the child had actually started speaking at one point.
After an accidental drowning case at the age of two and a half during the Spring Festival, she had stopped speaking altogether.
The doctors said it was a language disorder caused by psychological trauma.
But no one knew what had happened that day.
Su Chaoxi kissed her daughter, "Mimi, where is your brother?"
Xie Mizhi blinked and pointed to the family portrait above Su Chaoxi's bed.
Su Chaoxi had been mistakenly taken as a baby and grew up in an orphanage.
Longing for her biological parents' love, she even kept a family portrait with them by her bed.
Xie Mizhi pointed to Old Mrs. Su in the family portrait, who was Su Chaoxi's biological grandmother.
Suddenly, Su Chaoxi remembered.
Yes.
It was on this very day.
After Xie Tianyin went on a business trip,
her son, Xie Xunzhi, was taken away by her grandmother.
When they returned, they learned that Xie Xunzhi had scratched more than fifty luxury cars in an upscale mall.
Because Su Chaoxi was trapped at the bed,
the owners of these luxury cars all came knocking at her door.
In the end, the five million Yuan Su Chaoxi had just received hadn't even had time to warm up
when all of it went to her parents to compensate those car owners.
In the end, she didn't know exactly how much was compensated, but not a single yuan of that five million was retrieved.
Under the instigation of her parents, Su Chaoxi beat Xie Xunzhi violently.
After that, Xie Xunzhi grew increasingly distant from her.
Thinking of these things, Su Chaoxi's regrets flooded over her like a tide.
Seeing mummy crying again made Xie Mizhi panicked and anxious.
In a flurry, she tried to use her sleeve to wipe her mummy's tears but was worried that her mummy might dislike her touch.
The four-year-old little girl ran to the bathroom to get tissue paper to wipe Su Chaoxi's tears.
Su Chaoxi laughed, holding her daughter's hand and giving it a gentle kiss, "Thank you, Mimi."
Xie Mizhi's little face blushed, waving her hand to indicate it was not necessary.
Su Chaoxi's heart melted!
Her daughter was really too adorable, wuu!
But the urgent matter at hand was for her to see if it was really Xie Xunzhi who scratched all those cars!
Or if... Xie Xunzhi was just being used as a scapegoat.
Su Chaoxi's gaze turned icy.
"Be good, Mimi, can you go to the drawer over there and bring mommy the keys?"
The existence of the keys was something Su Chaoxi discovered only after Xie Tianyin's death.
Little did she know she'd use them so soon.
After unlocking the handcuffs, Su Chaoxi picked up Xie Mizhi.
Without hesitation, she had the driver take her to the mall where the incident of the past life happened,
and also took two tall bodyguards with her.
Just as she arrived at the mall, Su Chaoxi received a call from her grandmother, Old Mrs. Su.
Old Mrs. Su's voice was shrill with urgency, "Su Chaoxi, look at what kind of wretched child you've raised. I kindly took him to the mall for fun, only for this brat to scratch over fifty luxury cars in the garage!"
Su Chaoxi sneered inwardly but feigned surprise, "How could that be, I'm on my way!"
