Chapter 5 - Mysterious Flash (2/2)
Is there a reset button?
She suddenly thought if she could get to select her body for transmigration.
Sigh...In the end, it was just her wishful thought.
She supported her body with her elbow pressed on the pillow as she dragged herself out of the bed.
Her steps staggered due to weakness yet she persisted as she held onto the bedside table before picking up the glass of water and gulped it down. Her parched throat seemed to be relieved in an instant.
The large mirror was still in the same place as yesterday, and it compelled her to walk towards it.
”Yu Mei Zhen…” she murmured the name which was now hers.
Compared to yesterday when she snapped at the Steward for calling her name wrongly, she seemed to have regained her composure.
Yu Mei Zhen was the illegitimate daughter of the Yu Family. Being the daughter of an upper-class family required her to be a top socialite despite her status in the family.
But Yu Mei Zhen was exactly the opposite of that. Being fat, ugly, and zero when it came to studies, she was frowned upon by society which led her to disgrace the Yu Family, again and again, ultimately incurring her father's wrath.
But the girl was stubborn, she stubbornly craved for the family's affection, for which she was ready to go to any extent.
She despised her biological mother for being a mistress, sided with the legal wife of her father, who happened to be her stepmother.
She ignored her biological brother while trying to get closer to her half-siblings.
Everything seemed to be going well until her mother passed away a year ago from a brain stroke and the reality of the slap seemed to be too harsh when Yu Mei Zhen came to know the truth of her so-called beloved family.
They never cared for her.
But she somehow did not hate them even after everything they did.
But it was another thing that they refused to accept her after getting what they wanted and she was thrown out of the house.
”Miss Yu, you are awake,” Yu Mei turned around to look at the female servant standing at the door. She was so lost in her thoughts that she somehow did not notice her presence.
”Is there anything?” she asked softly noticing the woman's hesitation.
She could feel that the servant wasn't that particularly polite towards her but she did not point it out.
It wasn't like she was going to stay in this villa for long.
”Erm…Master is waiting for you downstairs. You should hurry up and…”
”When did he come?” Yu Mei interrupted the girl from speaking any further.
Like yesterday, she did not seem to be confused upon hearing the mention of this so-called Master.
But her eyes seemed to a little eagerness and curiosity at the mention of his name, it was as if she was meeting an old acquaintance.
