Su Ning'an stood rigidly in place, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Compared to others, Su Ning'an, who was usually the best at hiding her expressions, had the strongest reaction.
How could it not be strong?
Others were still guessing whether I was really dead, while she had participated in the entire incident and even took photos with my corpse.
Suddenly seeing a woman who looked strikingly like me, and today I was wearing a bright red coat—in her eyes, wasn't I like a corpse rising from the dead?
It was already good that she didn't scream in fright.
Actually, my emotions weren't much better than Su Ning'an's; I was even more excited than her.
Over the past month, I had witnessed everything from a god's perspective.
The person who caused the biggest emotional fluctuations in me was Su Ning'an.
The moment she targeted my grandmother, my murderous intent peaked!
If I couldn't turn into an avenging ghost, then I would become a villain and personally drag her to hell.
Meeting her again in human form, I found it hard to control the complex emotions inside me.
There was excitement, anger, exhilaration.
I looked at her fair neck, wanting to reach out and twist it off.
I looked at her stiff fingers, thinking about how she cut off my fingers to scare Grandma. I wanted to chop off her fingers one by one.
And that silver-tongued mouth of hers—what should I do with it?
Nothing I could do would satisfy me!
I was so happy. I finally had a chance for revenge.
While suppressing my Excited emotions, I smiled at her and said, "This must be Miss Su, Young Lu's wife, right? I've long heard about how deeply in love you two are. Childhood sweethearts, finally achieving a happy ending after all these years. Young Lu is truly devoted and deep feeling!"
As soon as I said this, Su Ning'an finally snapped back to reality, and Lu Shiyan's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Bai Lan quickly explained, "Wrong, wrong. She's not Su Wan. She's Su Wan's younger sister, the Ning'an I told you about. They are siblings, not a couple."
I pretended to be surprised. "Sorry, I saw Miss Su leaning close to Young Lu and thought she was his wife. You two look so well-matched. But I'm curious, how is this Miss Su your daughter? Isn't she from the Su family?"
"That's a long story. She was lost outside, and I adopted her for a while."
I nodded. "I see. So, the two of them aren't related by blood, right?"
"Of course not." Impatience spread in Bai Lan's eyes.
I smiled lightly. "Since there's no blood relation, they're not real siblings. They could still become a couple."
"Nonsense!" Lu Shiyan's face flushed red as he looked at me, probably angry that I had hit a nerve.
"Miss Jiang, don't say such things in the future. What would others think of the Lu family if they heard? You are also a member of the Lu family now; it wouldn't do you any good either."
I gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Young Lu. I didn't know the situation well and made you unhappy. My apologies."
But inside, I was sneering. So now you care about face?
When you were rolling in bed with Su Ning'an, did you consider the Lu family's reputation then?
I had practiced in the mirror; this smile almost overlapped with my previous face.
Apart from the cinnabar mole between my eyebrows, it was hard to tell the difference.
Lu Shiyan stared at me, lost in thought. He murmured, "Wan... Wanwan..."
Su Ning'an finally fully regained her composure. She stared fixedly at my face, her expression reminding me of a venomous snake in a gutter.
Hiding in dark, damp places, flicking its tongue, glaring viciously at its prey.
So disgusting!
When my gaze fell on her face, that expression flashed away instantly, and she returned to normal.
"Sorry, Auntie. You look too much like my sister, so I was a bit shocked just now."
As expected of Su Ning'an, she calmed down so quickly. Picking up the handbag from the ground, she said with a gentle smile, "It's our first meeting. This is a gift for you, Auntie. Please accept it."
How deceptive such a smile is. Who would think that behind such an seemingly innocent face, she could target an elderly person so viciously?
No rush. I will slowly return everything.
Everything she did to Grandma, to me, and to my child—I will repay her tenfold, a hundredfold!
Thinking of the future, the smile on my lips grew exceptionally sweet.
"I look like your sister? Then we are truly fated! Thank you. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for you. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course not! We're all family from now on. No need to be so polite."
"I just returned to the country and I'm not very familiar with things. Ning'an, you must take good care of me in the future."
I warmly took Su Ning'an's hand and chatted, appearing utterly innocent.
While I was talking, Lu Shiyan silently watched me, as if trying to see the past Su Wan through me.
After all, this body was only twenty years old, a few years younger than Su Ning'an.
So young, like a flower just blooming, brimming with youthful vitality everywhere.
Last year, when I went to find Lu Shiyan, I saw Su Ning'an clinging to his neck complaining, "Sister will be thirty in a couple of years. She's so lifeless every day. Don't you find it boring being with her, looking at reports?"
Lu Shiyan tapped her nose with his fingertip. "She's not as lively and cute as you. Being with you makes me feel several years younger."
How ridiculous. I worked tirelessly every day for his projects, and he enjoyed the fruits of my labor while flirting with another woman.
Now that I've become younger and more beautiful than Su Ning'an, how does she feel?
"Of course! As long as Auntie doesn't find me too talkative, I'd be delighted." She looked full of bona fide.
I blinked. "By the way, Ning'an, do you know about Lanting Xiaozhu?"
When I mentioned this property name, her face changed slightly. "Yes, that's my brother-in-law's marital home."
I clapped my hands. "That's perfect!"
Su Ning'an stared intently at me. "What is it, Auntie?"
"Earlier, Dad asked us where we wanted to buy our marital home. I happened to see this property and thought it looked nice, so I wanted to ask you about it. Since it's Young Lu's marital home, that's even better."
I turned to Lu Shiyan, giving him a radiant smile. "Young Lu, can I go see your marital home? I'd like to buy it as Brother Yanchen's and my marital home. I want to learn from your flighty."
Lu Shiyan didn't speak, but he was clearly unwilling.
After all, he had been there with Su Ning'an. He didn't want outsiders going there, even if he had cleaned up all traces. He was still afraid something might be exposed.
I took a step forward, my voice soft and flighty. "I have the biggest headache with flighty. If I couldlearn from your decoration plan, that would be great. Young Lu, please? Take me to see it?"
