Chapter One

  "I was there." Wang Qiqi slowly opened her eyes, which were still blurry with sleep. She found herself in a room with yellowing walls, and to her surprise, the electrical wires were exposed on the surface of the wall. This made Wang Qiqi very suspicious - who would install wiring without hiding it behind the walls?

  Wang Qi thought to herself, didn't she push that pair of dog-like man and woman off the cliff? That cliff wasn't short, if she hadn't died from the fall, she would have at least been disabled. Moreover, that pair of dog-like man and woman wouldn't be kind enough to send her to the hospital. Could it be that her luck had exploded and some donkey friend had found her and sent her to the hospital?

  Wang Qiqi looked around again and found that this didn't seem to be a hospital, but rather her old home. However, this home wasn't taken over by her uncle and aunt, who had sold the house three years after her parents' death, deceiving themselves into thinking they were doing the right thing. The money from the sale was just a few tens of thousands, which they had kept for themselves. At that time, she had been so foolishly deceived by these people.

  Wang Qiqi thought of those people's faces and felt like vomiting. Although they were her father's own brothers, what they did was not even comparable to their neighbors, let alone the harm they caused to themselves. The one who hurt Wang Qiqi the most was Gao Kai. For his sake, Wang Qiqi had really lost everything, including helping him pay for his university tuition fees. She thought that since she would eventually marry him anyway, she might as well use her parents' savings. As long as he treated her well, it didn't matter.

  Wang Qiqi had completely forgotten that men are unreliable creatures, they will change their minds and won't think about what you originally gave up for them. Especially someone like me who spent all her money on him and became a thorn in his side. On the other hand, his own cousin Wang Tui, his own house was sold to his family at a low price through his parents, that is, my uncle and aunt's manipulation, and the money received was swindled by Gao Kai.

  "Wang Qiqi, you're really an idiot." Wang Qiqi muttered to herself in a daze, but then she suddenly thought of a possibility. How did she end up in this room? She hadn't been back here since the house changed hands.

  Could it be rebirth? Wang Qiqi, who often looked at a certain point in her previous life, suddenly thought of a possible 'possibility', could the heavens love herself so much? Thinking of this, Wang Qiqi immediately jumped down from the "bed", "Hoping to arrive before something happens to my parents."

  Wang Qiqi's parents would often take a stroll outside after dinner, and then go to the supermarket to see if there were any discounted items. There was a supermarket nearby that would discount bread, vegetables, and fruits after 8 pm. Wang Qiqi's mother would often buy some back home. In the past, Wang Qiqi thought her family's financial situation was average, or else why would they always go to buy these discounted items? But later on, Wang Qiqi found out that her parents had left a lot of money for themselves, only she didn't know at the time how important money is for a child who has lost their parents. By the time she realized it, she no longer had any money and was living off her meager salary as a poor person with no house or car. How could someone from a wealthy family like Gao's, who looks down on the poor and loves wealth, possibly want to marry someone like her? It's just that the people around them knew that Wang Qiqi had spent a lot of money for the Gao family before she even married into it, so the Gao family couldn't bear to kick her out because they wanted to save face.

  "I must save my parents' lives and keep them away from the extreme." Wang Qiqi said firmly, clenching her small fist.

  Wang Qi walked out of her bedroom, habitually went to the calendar on the dining table and looked at it. After seeing the date on it, her eyes widened, May 20th, 1997, wasn't this the day when her parents passed away?

  When Wang Qiqi looked at the clock again, it was actually 7:40. Wang Qiqi suddenly froze and then rushed out like crazy after opening the big door.

  "Oh my god, you're not kidding me, right? I've been reborn and it has to be at this exact moment... Why couldn't it have happened a day earlier?! Wang Qiqi cursed the heavens as she rushed along, feeling utterly frustrated. And to make matters worse, mobile phones hadn't even become a household item yet, or else she could have just called her parents to come back home. Unfortunately, her parents didn't even own a pager at this time."

  Wang Qiqi had already used up all her energy, but when she arrived at the scene where her parents were involved, she found that there was already a crowd of people surrounding the area. "No, no," Wang Qiqi shouted loudly, wiping away tears as she rushed towards the crowd.

  Wang Qiqi wasn't without praying, hoping that the ones who had an accident weren't her own parents (although this idea is a bit 'dark', but as a child, one always hopes not to see their own parents have an accident, especially when it happens in front of them). If she could be reborn herself, why wouldn't heaven treat her better and instead make her go through the pain of separation from her flesh and blood again?

  The onlookers saw a young girl crying and shouting, unable to speak, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of Wang Qiqi's location. They found a teenager wiping away tears and running towards them, so they made way for her. Wang Qiqi ran over and discovered that the couple lying in a pool of blood were indeed her parents.

  Wang Qiqi immediately knelt down on the ground, constantly using her hands to wipe away the blood left on her parents' bodies. "Help call an ambulance, call an ambulance." Wang Qiqi was crying and shouting, "Please, please, save my dad and mom."

  "It's done, the owner of that tobacco hotel has already called 120." Someone suddenly said this sentence, but what he didn't say was that even if the ambulance could arrive on time, this couple would probably be finished. You know how fast that car came speeding over just now? First, it hit this strolling couple, and then it hit another young couple. What's more terrible is that the wife of that young couple was pregnant, so it might have been one dead and two lives lost. After hitting two couples in a row, that car still didn't stop, continuing to speed forward, finally hitting two or three people, but they shouldn't be in any mortal danger.

  "Poor thing, she's still so young."

  "That's right, what's with that car? After hitting someone, it didn't even stop. Is the driver dead or something?"

  Someone hummed, "Dead? It was a drunk driver. Just now someone saw the car stop and went up to pull him down. The owner rolled down the window, and inside it reeked of alcohol."

  "Alas, if you drink, don't drive, he should ride a bicycle instead."

  Wang Qiqi thanked them and pretended not to hear their words. For those people, today's scene might be just a farce, and at most they would mention the car accident in the future, sighing and saying something like "a young daughter of a couple died". But for Wang Qiqi, today was a turning point. Before today, she was a happy child with both parents, but after today, she became a poor girl who wasn't even as good as Cinderella.

  Wang Dajun struggled to open his eyes and saw that 'Nü'er' was wiping the bloodstains for him. He wanted to tell 'Nü'er' not to worry, but he knew his situation - his life force was rapidly disappearing. He had to seize the time to say these words to 'Nü'er', "Qiqi, Qiqi."

  Although Wang Dajun's voice was very low and the scene was noisy, Wang Qiqi, who was paying attention to her parents' movements at all times, heard her father's words. She held back tears from falling down, knowing that her father did not want her to cry. But Wang Qiqi couldn't help it: "Dad, Dad, don't say that, don't say that. The doctor will be back soon and you and Mom will be fine."

  Wang Dajun shook his head, motioning for Qiqi to come closer and whisper in her ear, "Qiqi, Daddy's good girl, forgive Daddy, Mommy can't accompany you anymore."

  Wang QiQi knew that the chances of her parents surviving this time were slim, but she still hoped for a miracle. "No, no, Dad, you and Mom have to see me go to college, get married and have children."

  Wang Dajun naturally hoped to see that day, and he often told his wife, "When we retire, we'll help Qiqi take care of the kids." He whispered in his daughter's ear, "There's a safe under Mom's dresser, in the compartment where she keeps the quilts. The password is your mom's birthday and mine. If your uncle, aunt, or other relatives come to our house, you must not give them that money. It's what Mom and I left for you, Qiqi. Dad is very sorry he can't be with you in the future, but we'll leave that money for you, so when Mom and I pass away, we can rest assured. Remember, never give the contents of that safe to anyone. As for the deposit slips in the bedside table, you can use them to take care of things."

  Wang Qiqi heard her father, who had just spoken with some pauses, speak this sentence without any pause at all. She knew that this must be what they called "a last burst of energy before dying". "Dad, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself." She would definitely guard the things left to her by her parents.

  Wang Dajun heard 'girl' say so, more and more unclear, "Remember to remember, Qiqi, you must learn to grow up, don't be willful again." Wang Dajun's words were getting lower and lower, until they completely disappeared.

  "Dad, Dad, don't go, don't leave Qiqi alone." Wang Qiqi hugged her father's body and cried heart-wrenchingly. Just then, the ambulance and police car with sirens arrived slowly.

  The doctor for the 120 jumped down, felt the pulse and said indifferently, "There is no heartbeat or breathing." Then he went to see others, leaving Wang Qiqi alone sitting on the ground, hugging Wang Dajun's body, and also lying beside Wang Mu's body.

  Wang QiQi was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to cry. In her mind, there was only one thought: Dad and Mom had left her again, abandoned her once more, leaving her alone in this world.

  Wang Qi sat stupidly there, while Wang Dajun's brother Wang Dagui and his wife Li Cui rushed over, but they couldn't hide their joy to death. As for what made them happy, those who knew the couple a little would understand in their hearts.
