Chapter 2: Reborn (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Muyan opened her eyes from a daze, only to feel a repeatedly convulsive pain in her belly.
She tried to touch her stomach, but she found that her hands and feet were tied so tightly that she couldn’t move.
She looked around.
What entered her field of view was a run-down house, windy on all sides. The furnishings seemed to be a little familiar.
What’s this all about?
Wasn’t I thrown into the Elixir-Refining Furnace by Gong Qianxue? The hot temperature scorched her body, and the penetrative hatred drove her reason to pieces then she lost consciousness.
How come I’m tied up here now?
Did Gong Qianxue fail to refine the elixir so she came up with a new idea to torture me?
As she was thinking, Muyan’s eyes suddenly spotted a certain something, and she narrowed her pupils sharply.
Gosh! What do I see?
My bulging belly!
And the convulsive pain was also from her belly.
This… Is this my baby?!
The baby was in her belly, she could feel its strong vitality.
But how was this possible?
Her baby had been scooped out alive from her womb!
Suddenly, Muyan’s gaze froze on the furnishings and decorations around her.
She thought the room was familiar, but now she remembered—wasn’t this the shabby house where she lived with the Su family ten years ago?
Ten years ago, her adoptive father went out to get some experience and toughen himself up, and her adoptive mother, Su Yuexiang, while ignoring Muyan’s opposition, sent her to the Su family. The Su family treated her badly and none of them were kind to her. When she accidentally lost her chastity and got pregnant before marriage, their unkindness was further intensified. They shut her up in this run-down house.
And what was happening now gave her a sense of deja vu.
Ten years ago, when she was seven months pregnant, she lived alone in the shabby room without food, clothing or warmth.
Then suddenly, one day, Big Aunt, who had always been snide to her, acted strangely and served her a hot meal very warmly.
Muyan was flattered at that time. She thought her cleverness and filial piety finally won their sympathy.
But she didn’t expect that this would be the beginning of her nightmare.
She passed out after the meal and was awakened by a sharp pain in her belly.
When she woke up, she found the baby in her belly had been taken away by Big Aunt and two female cousins.
Muyan never forgot this painful and miserable scene for ten years afterwards. When she dreamed about it and woke up in the middle of the night, there was nothing but lingering, penetrative hatred in her heart each time.
Since then, she had lost her baby and lost her right to be a mother.
But now, why was she lying here again?
Was she reborn? She was reborn ten years in the past? When her baby hadn’t been taken away yet?
Just then, her Big Aunt’s voice came from outside.
“Lord, are you sure you want to pay such a high price for the baby in that b*tch’s womb? When we cut out the baby, are you sure you won’t go back on your word?”
Then came a man’s voice. “Here’s the deposit. As long as you get things done properly, you’ll naturally get your reward.”
