Chapter 199: Talk it out

Chapter 199

As Old Pei had thought, if they couldn't stay, he would let them come back.

After settling the two children, An ZhiXia was completely free and flashed into the space to find the customer service in the trading system.

Wealthy Madam from Years Past: "What exactly is going on in this world? Why are there still other reincarnators?"

[It should be awakened memories, not reincarnators.]

Awakened memories, An ZhiXia had learned about it in her previous life.

It was probably something about multidimensional space and the like. She also understood that there were many small worlds, big and small, in this world, after all, the trading system was an existence that could connect to other worlds.

Multidimensional space refers to a space composed of multiple different dimensions, and in each space there is an identical self, but they have gone down different life paths because of the different choices they have made in life.

And when time and space overlap, once a certain point is triggered, it is possible to have the memories of another self from another space-time.

An ZhiXia blinked, for a moment lost in thought.

If this speculation held true, did it mean that her so-called rebirth was actually just replacing another self from another space-time when time and space overlapped?

An ZhiXia sought answers from the trading system, but this time, the trading system did not move at all.

After calming herself down, An ZhiXia asked again, "Customer service, I won't ask you about my own affairs, but can you tell me how many more people like Shen Hongmei and that man with awakened memories I saw this afternoon exist in the world I'm in now?"

The trading system still did not move, and An ZhiXia had to give up.

The package Pei Jing had sent back before the new year finally arrived.

Life was still calm. The man she had seen at the hospital that day was like an illusion to her now.

But An ZhiXia knew he really existed.

He knew her, or rather, he was very familiar with An Meixia, who did not exist in this world, but An ZhiXia did not know him and had never seen him in her memories of her previous life either.

Yet in front of her he turned into a man-eating demon that didn't leave her a way out.

Over the years, if she hadn't found some handcraft work piecing paper boxes, she really would have starved to death.

Sometimes Wang Caixiang didn't know what she was still hoping for. If she had known that this was how things would turn out, she might as well have gone to the countryside.

But having come this far, it seemed that she could no longer retreat.

An ZhiXia's belly made Wang Caixiang look at her with jealous eyes. An ZhiXia instinctively protected her belly and said, "I can probably guess why you came looking for me, but I'll make it very clear that I can't help you with what you want. Wang Caixiang, I hope you understand that my relationship with them is not as deep as you imagine, and I don't want to meddle in other people's lives either. I just want to live my own life well."

Wang Caixiang didn't seem too disappointed. She had already known the result before she came.

She just wasn't resigned to it.

Her tears had dried up over the years, leaving her eyes emitting a lifeless, dark glow. "An ZhiXia, you're so much like your second brother. I've just realized that in the whole An family, you two are the most alike. You both seem gentle and approachable on the outside, so why are your hearts made of iron and stone? I was in the wrong, but he's already had his revenge. My whole Wang family has paid the price, isn't that enough to make up for it? Haven't I been living a fate worse than death these past two years to atone for it? Why is everyone so unwilling to give me a chance?"

Back then, she had just been forced by desperation to grab at any straw she could to save her life. But she had paid the price for it already.

Wang Caixiang felt that as long as he was just a little more magnanimous, the two of them could have lived well together. But why did he have to cling to the past and make them both wallow in misery?

"It's meaningless for you to say this to me. What kind of person I am has nothing to do with you. If you're not resigned, you can go find my second brother." An ZhiXia thought for a moment, then added, "If it was because my looks and personality gave you the wrong impression that I was easy to approach, then I'm sorry, I can tell you now that I'm not kind-hearted and I don't enjoy helping people either. I just want to live my life well. I do know a little about what happened between you and my second brother, but I can't help you with it." And I'm not happy to help.

"You...you guys are so ruthless. One is determined to drive me to my death while the others stand by and watch the show." Wang Caixiang stood in a daze for half a day. It seemed that with her last shred of hope gone, she finally left dejectedly.

An ZhiXia still had a big belly and didn't dare go with Wang Caixiang. So their conversation happened at the door.

She had thought no one else was home, but unexpectedly, Pei Jianguo came out of the room and looked at her disapprovingly, "You people of the An family are really ruthless. I really wonder if a human life is worth so little in your eyes?"

"If you feel sorry for her, it's not too late to go after her now. Do you believe that if you just tell her you're willing to marry her, she'll agree to divorce my second brother right away?" What Wang Caixiang wanted was a good life. Who the man was didn't matter.

Pei Jianguo's face instantly turned gloomy as he glared fiercely at her before going back into the room and slamming the door shut again.

An ZhiXia actually understood that Pei Jianguo's words were not out of pity for Wang Caixiang. Who he felt heartache for was the deceased Gao Meiyun.
