Chapter 99: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,455 words

What? You quit your job!

Zhang Xuemei screamed, her whole being distressed, she gazed at her daughter with a heartbroken expression.

That's a job at the Capital's No. 1 People's Hospital!

So many people break their heads trying to get in and still can't!

Has your daughter's brain cramped?

Or did water get into her head!

Mom, I can't go on like this; I want to take a trip to the Sea Island, I want to find Shen Man, I want to take something of hers.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Manman went straight back to her parents' home.

Knowing her stepfather wouldn't be home for lunch, she sent away the new maid and pulled her mother aside to tell her plan.

What do you want with Shen Man? No, what do you want to take?

Zhang Xuemei was completely bewildered, not understanding her daughter's joke about her future.

Mom, do you still remember Dad giving the family heirloom jade tablet to Shen Man?

I remember, what's up?

Zhang Xuemei had an impression of this; the Lu family were not capitalists by origin but rose from a peasant revolution, both grandparents were honest farmers, the grandfather was bold and by serving in the army and risking his life attained his present position.

Her husband had no great talent, no achievements; his only fault was divorcing his first wife and marrying her.

Thus, aside from the pensions and subsidies of the Lu father and son, the family had no other income.

The dowry the husband previously gave to Shen Man, she didn't even know about; it was hidden deep!

Mom, actually I have been reborn...

Lu Manman's eyes showed struggle, but there was no other way; she could only reveal her rebirth.

No matter when, her mother is the person she trusts most.

In her past life it was so, and in this life it is the same.

After hearing her daughter's words, Zhang Xuemei was completely dumbfounded.

Good grief, has her daughter gone hysterical?

Or is it because she quit the hospital job, the blow hit her too hard?

She's talking nonsense!

Mom, believe me, my blood can bind the jade tablet's space!

Once I obtain the jade tablet's space, I can use its spiritual spring water to save lives and heal wounds!

I will make those who now trample on my dignity look at me anew and regret it deeply!

The more Lu Manman spoke, the more excited she became, her whole person showing a manic, obsessive look toward the space.

Zhang Xuemei understood; her daughter truly had gone mad!

What to do?

She pretended to believe her daughter, then secretly took her to see a doctor.

Or should she shatter her daughter's fantasy?

Mom, everything I say is true! Don't look at me as if I were an idiot; if I lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a bad death!

Lu Manman got angry; she really, really didn't speak! Ah ah ah!

Pah pah pah, children spout nonsense, may the heavens not hold it against them.

Zhang Xuemei undoubtedly loved her daughter; hearing her daughter's poisonous oath, she immediately believed.

She also felt that Shen Man was strange and uncanny.

Could it be that her daughter can be reborn, and Shen Man also reborn?

Strangely enough, in her past life Shen Man was not like this; when her past self returned, she caused a great uproar, not only did it not make Ting Chen dislike me, but because I excelled over Shen Man, we were deeply affectionate....

When Lu Manman mentioned this, she also felt somewhat uncertain in her heart.

In her past life, Shen Man had only beauty, but her temperament was sharp and shrewish; causing havoc, the whole family despised her, even her elder brother and grandfather were extremely disappointed.

The Gu family firmly did not want such a daughter-in-law; in the end they let her marry in name only, paving the way properly so she could peacefully become Madame Gu.

And Shen Man, through her and her mother's deliberate promotion, became notorious in the Jiashuyuan; respectable families were unwilling to let their children marry such a calamity.

Finally, Shen Man became an old maid in her thirties; on one occasion when she and Ting Chen brought the child home to visit relatives, she took advantage of there being no one around and deliberately provoked Shen Man.

And Shen Man, that brainless fool, actually fell for the scheme!

In others' eyes, Shen Man intended to push the little nephew off the building!

And she, was the hero who protected the nephew!

After Shen Man's act of pushing someone was discovered, she shouted that she was being framed, but to onlookers it showed she was incorrigible, deliberately framing this victim!

Thus Shen Man, was despised by the furious Lu father and son, three generations of grandparents, and was directly expelled from the household......

In the end she wandered half her life and died miserably on a snowy night.

Throughout, Shen Man went mad, Shen Man went berserk; Shen Man was like her control group, contrasting her happy life!

Logically speaking, Shen Man doesn't seem to have been reborn; otherwise why wouldn't she stay, directly take the jade tablet, seize the space, and then directly engage us mother and daughter in a battle of wits and courage?

For her, staying would be convenient for revenge. I tend to think she hasn't been reborn and hasn't activated the jade tablet space you mentioned.

Zhang Xuemei calmly analyzed, feeling there was still room for redemption.

Mom, I quit my job to break free of constraints and take a trip to the Sea Island; I want to see Shen Man in person, test her, and then retrieve the jade tablet.

Hearing her mother say that, Lu Manman's anxious and uneasy heart suddenly calmed.

Yeah, if Shen Man had been reborn, with her big-breasted, brainless vase-like mind, where would she be able to stay calm!

Moreover, in her past life Shen Man didn't even know the jade tablet was a space's secret!

Even if she had been reborn, she wouldn't think of blood-binding the master!

It was all her needless worry, yes, that's how it is.

There's no time to waste; since you've obtained the jade token space, which brings you many benefits, you might as well go to the Sea Island quickly to retrieve it.

Zhang Xuemei felt that her daughter's words were very reasonable, so she fully supported her daughter's idea.

"Hmm, Mom, I'm here to tell you my plan: after I return, I won't tell Ting Chen about my resignation for the time being.

I'll say that Dad is uneasy about Grandpa living on the Sea Island, so I'll take leave and go to the Sea Island to visit Grandpa, as well as my brother and Shen Man."

Lu Manman thought it through: since I've resigned, I won't stay here; there will be another place for me to stay!

When she obtains the jade token space and its spiritual spring water, she can make a comeback; no hospital will be able to refuse her superb medical skill.

What she has lost will eventually return to her hand in an unstoppable manner!

"Alright, I'll cover you. As for your dad, I'll tell him that you can't get Shen Man out of your mind, that you feel you owe her, and after much thought you've decided to go to the Sea Island to visit family, see Shen Man, and make amends."

After Zhang Xuemei finished speaking, she and her daughter exchanged a smile.

The mother and daughter share the same lineage.

The person who understands her best is none other than her daughter.

Likewise, the one who understands the daughter best is none other than her.

No matter what, mother and daughter are born allies!

"Thank you, Mom. I will definitely retrieve the jade token space, then repeat the brilliance of my previous life, making Mom prosperous and happy."

Lu Manman said this not to deceive Mom but sincerely.

After her biological father died, Mom didn't abandon her to cling to someone else; instead, she took her, fled the countryside, came to the big city, showed her new scenery, gave her a prosperous life—she would never abandon Mom!

In her previous life, she gave Mom a lifetime of wealth; in this life, she can certainly do it again!

Zhang Xuemei's lips twitched, but she didn't utter a word of refusal.

She could feel her daughter's filial devotion.

A mother may be gentle, but for her daughter she becomes resolute.

For her daughter, she would use any means!

Even if it means condemning her to endless suffering and a death without a whole body...
