Chapter 16: Am I Sick

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ah!”

Early in the morning, Chen Xiaoqian was awakened by a scream.

She slowly opened her closet and picked out her clothes to wear amidst Qu Xue’s cries from downstairs. 

The closet was almost empty.

There were two or three plain-colored clothing that had simple designs.

Then she picked a white skirt and did her hair in a bun. Then, she remembered that she was no longer a doctor. She let her hair down and put them in a ponytail.

The lack of dark circles under her eyes was a sign of vitality, and she did not even need makeup to look great. 

She tidied up the room and opened the window, which faced the courtyard.

Qu Xue stood in front of Chen Lin while crying.

“Brother Chen, am I critically ill?”

“What happened?” Chen Lin asked impatiently.

His wife was not home all night. He played mahjong all night and lost a lot of money. Then, Qu Xue bothered him the moment he came back. She kept crying without explaining what happened—that upset him.

“My urine is red today!”

Chen Xiaoqian leaned against the window and watched what happened. She pushed her glasses.

Sigh… Qu Xue was indeed one of the ‘lucky ones’, and Chen Xiaoqian could not be happier to see that happen to her. 

“How did that happen?” Chen Lin was troubled with many things at once so he sounded impatient.

“Is there something wrong with my kidney? Brother Chen, would you go to the hospital with me?”

“I don’t have the time, I have to bring Xiufang home.” He did not know what story that woman had told her family. 

‘Ah, isn’t this nice!’ Chen Xiaoqian covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud.

One of the neighbors watched Teenage Bao Qingtian 1and they blasted the speaker with the opening title song—how appropriate!

“Blue sky over my head, a belief in my heart, neither young nor ignorant, unafraid of challenges, seek to understand everything, that is how I do things~” played the lyrics of this song.

Afraid of being seen, Qu Xue distanced herself from Chen Lin and Chen Xiaoqian hummed along with the song.

“When justice is served, I’ll have a clear conscience~”

Chen Lin left to pick up Jia Xiufang. Chen Xiaoqian snuck into their room again. She looked for the camera and went downstairs.

Qu Xue put down the mirror when she saw Chen Xiaoqian.

“Qian’er, you’re up.”

“Mm, you were crying so loud just now, it was hard not to wake up.”

Qu Xue glared at her.

“You’re about to be married, you can’t be like that. Women who are married belong to the husband’s family. Qian’er, you can throw tantrums here, but don’t do it in your husband’s home.”

She spoke in a sarcastic tone now that her hypocritical mask was exposed.

Chen Xiaoqian underestimated her provocation. She walked up to the counter directly, pulled Qu Xue aside, and she grabbed some money.

“Ah! What are you doing! I’ll tell your father!” Qu Xue wanted to get the money back, but Chen Xiaoqian put them in her pocket. Then, Chen Xiaoqian gave her a glance.

“Did you forget how I tore your clothes?”

After she said that sentence, Qu Xue remembered all the traumatic things that happened the night before.

Humans were easily provoked after they experienced trauma. They would freeze with just a slight trigger. Chen Xiaoqian’s act of tearing Qu Xue’s clothes and burning the table terrified the whole family.

“Right, I heard that red urine is a small matter if it was only a urinary tract infection, but there’s also a possibility of a glomerulus, kidney inflammation, kidney stones, tumor… Tsk tsk, look at your tummy, it’s slightly protruded, could it be a tumor?”

Qu Xue got so scared as she went pale and froze on the chair. Chen Xiaoqian left confidently after successfully scaring Qu Xue.

Mm, Qu Xue would probably be pondering about that all day, but it was fair—to pay for what she had done.

With the money she took, she went to a breakfast shop and ordered some delicious dumplings. She needed the energy to deal with those people.

After breakfast, she brought the university admission notice to the post office. The school would gather all admission notices and pass them to the post office after the college entrance exam was over. They would collect records of the admission notice, then the records would be sent to the school via the post office.

She did not do that in her previous life.

If the record was not collected, the post office would return the record to the school after a given date. In her previous life, the record was returned to the school and Ni Jianren’s family obstructed her in every way possible. As a result, she was nearly rejected from retaking her classes after almost losing the opportunity to collect the record.

Luckily there was a kind-hearted person who helped her. She wrote to that kind-hearted person and said that she wanted to give up, but the person found out what happened and wrote to her with a short sentence: Don’t worry, take the exam.

Everything was settled.

Come to think of it, the person who supported her financially in her previous life was her benefactor.

They only met once and Chen Xiaoqian could not remember what he looked like. She was too sad at the time and was about to take her life by jumping into the river. She told him about being entangled with a man, as well as every terrible thing that happened. She cried and cried, to the point where she could not see clearly and forgot what her benefactor looked like.

However, she did remember his handwriting, which was especially beautiful. She made a point to remember the name on the remittance too, but when she was ready to repay his kindness, the person was nowhere to be found. It was as though the person vanished from the world. The name she found did not match the face that she vaguely remembered and he had used someone else’s name to send her the money. 

If he did not want to be found, there was no way she could find him. She could not repay his kindness.

He saved her, gave her money, and helped her to fight with Ni Jianren’s family. Then, he vanished when she became successful, perhaps because he did not want any repayment. What a kind person he was!

After she mailed the record, Chen Xiaoqian stood at the door of the post office and thought it was a few months away from the day she was saved by this kind-hearted person. She would remember the date forever. When the day came, she would go to the river and pretend to want to jump and draw the attention of this kind-hearted person. She must repay his kindness in this life.

She sought vengeance on those who wronged her, but she would never forget a person’s kindness. Without that kind-hearted person, she would not have become the strong lady boss she was in her previous life.

After settling all that, Chen Xiaoqian walked to her highschool. She said hi to the guards, mentioned that the teacher was looking for her, and walked confidently into the school.

It was summer break and no one was in school. The teacher’s living quarters were right behind the class building.

Occasionally, little tornadoes could be on the grounds of the school. The students used to joke around, saying the school was once a cemetery and that it was haunted. That was why there were few tornadoes occurring from time to time.

Chen Xiaoqian did not believe in the supernatural, and for someone who was indeed reborn again, watching the little gust of wind was not a big deal for her. 

Be it ghost or god, what could be worse than the b*stards that she met?

For example, the father who hid her admission notice and the teacher who was an accomplice. These were all b*stards.

The grievance between Chen Xiaoqian and the teacher was not limited to simply hiding the admission letter. Now, Chen Xiaoqian wanted to settle everything once and for all.
