Chapter 2 Displacement

  Although she was not afraid of death, seeking survival is a human instinct, and being able to survive is indeed a fortunate thing.

  It's clear that the car accident has caused her a great deal of harm, physical pain and weakness, and all these instruments in the house tell herself that the injury she suffered is absolutely not just a flesh wound.

  Although her body was out of control, her brain had already recovered. Before the car accident, she was waiting for the green light, but was heavily hit by the car behind her. It can almost be confirmed that the car behind must have been speeding seriously and should bear full responsibility. However, there were no surveillance cameras on that road segment. If that car fled after hitting...

  The sound of footsteps and conversation came from outside the door, it should be people coming to deal with the aftermath of the car accident, she turned her head towards the outside of the door.

  "Xuan Xuan, you're awake!" The middle-aged woman at the door, dressed elegantly, rushed forward as soon as she saw her, tears welling up in her eyes, shouting to those behind her, "Doctor, quickly take a look at my daughter, is she okay now?..."

  Chen Zheng stared at her incredulously, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word. He knew this woman...

  She naturally knows...

  The woman, dressed in a sable coat and with an exquisite makeup, finally had a hint of a satisfied smile, and with a condescending tone, said, "You're different from your shameless mother. Since you know what's good for you, I won't treat you unfairly either. Consider this money as compensation."

  "I hope you can keep your promise and give up the inheritance rights." The woman's expression was arrogant, with no attempt to conceal the disdain and disgust in her eyes.

  "I have nothing to do with the Fang family." She signed her name on the document giving up her inheritance without hesitation, her back as straight as ever.

  There is a check on the desk, she didn't take it and didn't even look at the check. "Mrs. Fang, my mother passed away twelve years ago. She was ordinary but upright in her actions. Please don't insult her. Also, I'm surnamed Chen and don't know anyone from the Fang family. Please ask your family not to disturb me again."

  The woman snorted softly, watching her calmly get up and leave without a hint of expression on her face. A hint of sarcasm and hatred flashed in the bottom of her eyes. Even if she was tactful, it was still a thorn in her heart. Since marrying into the Fang family, she had been busy dealing with those messy women and illegitimate children. She had seen all sorts of people - those who were open-mouthed, those who pretended to be pitiful, those who pretended to be noble... No matter what kind of person they were, their purpose was only one thing -

  Money!

  She didn't believe she could be an exception, and this calmness was probably just her trick, just like her mother who looked ordinary but had a hundred ways to entice her husband who was used to indulging in romantic affairs, and yet gave birth to such a wild child.

  It is said that dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will dig holes. With such a mother, how good can her daughter be?

  She didn't want to have anything to do with this lowly illegitimate daughter either, but she hadn't expected that her long-lost biological mother would appear and start causing trouble, seemingly wanting to use this illegitimate daughter to get a share of the Fang family's wealth. How could she bear it?

  The woman's cold smile and her worried and excited face overlapped, giving Chen Zheng a strange and eerie feeling that made his hair stand on end.

  "Xuan Xuan, what's wrong?" Probably being stared at by Chen Zheng's strange eyes made her feel a bit uneasy, the woman stopped in front of Chen Zheng's bed and asked hesitantly.

  Chen Zheng was convinced that he had not lost his memory, and could only say that the woman in front of him, Fang, had mistaken him for someone else. Just as he was about to correct her, a severe pain began to throb at his temples, and the scenes from when he was unconscious reappeared, becoming even clearer, as if they were etched into his mind.

  Is this really a dream? How can there be such a realistic dream? It's as if I'm experiencing another person's life.

  She, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly appeared flustered for a moment. Was it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of the butterfly or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? And she, was she Chen Zheng or Fang Zixuan?

  Looking at her daughter who had just woken up with a pale face and lost focus in her eyes, Mrs. Fang's heart which had already relaxed became tense again, "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"

  Several doctors came forward to examine her, turning her over and over again, but no one could say anything conclusive, the final conclusion was post-traumatic stress disorder after a car accident.

  Aftermath of a car accident?

  Chen Zheng, no, it should be Fang Zi Xuan staring at herself in the mirror, only feeling ridiculous, the oversized hospital gown wrapping around the fourteen-year-old girl's frail body made her look even more empty.

  Is there any aftereffect that can make people suddenly recall 30 years of memories?

  She clearly remembered the date of her accident, but why did today's calendar clearly say it was ten years ago?

  Chen Zheng was a thoroughgoing materialist, who didn't talk about supernatural powers or ghosts. Although the topic of rebirth and transmigration was very popular before her rebirth, she wasn't interested in it at all, nor did she believe that such things could really happen.

  But when it really happened, she could only accept it.

  Although she is serious and stubborn, she is not a foolish person who doesn't know how to adapt. She won't go around shouting that she is Chen Zheng, not Fang Zi Xuan. She is also not a scientist, so she won't focus on the scientific principles of soul transference. All she can do is live well with Fang Zi Xuan's identity.

  But Fang Zi Xuan's life...

  She let out a deep sigh, from the initial shock and disgust to now helpless bitter smile, she could only say that she had gotten used to it, but couldn't understand this little girl's thoughts at all.

  The Fang family's assets are ranked among the top ten in the country, a truly wealthy and influential family. This was something she had been well aware of even when she was still Chen Zheng, although she didn't want to admit it - at that time, she was Fang Jianlin's illegitimate daughter.

  Unlike her, Fang Zixuan was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, an out-and-out rich miss. Her mother, Zhang Yun, was the youngest daughter of the powerful Zhang family in the political circle back then. Although the Zhang family's influence is not what it used to be today, they are still a household name domestically, just like the Zhou family, both being influential political families in Province S.

  Such a girl can be said to have been born as a proud daughter of heaven, but Fang Zixuan grew up with a lonely and arrogant personality, thinking that by ruining herself she could get her parents' attention. From the age of 11 or 12, she learned to smoke and drink, not only did she not study hard, but also hung out with those rich kids in her circle every day. At the age of 14, she even started taking banned substances in nightclubs, fighting, racing cars, and staying out all night.

  Even before the car accident, she was preparing to go to a tattoo parlor the next day to get a tattoo of "" on her groin. When Chen Zheng recalled those fragmented memories, she almost got so angry that she could have died again, if not for her young age, she might not have been able to preserve her chastity.
