Chapter 507: Chapter 9 Replacement?

An Xiunian, who had originally felt a twinge of guilt for having seized another’s body, quickly extinguished that feeling. She only needed to worry about one thing now, the state of her soul being attached to this body and its connection to that eerie old woman.

This was the issue Yan Xin was now solely concerned about.

The appearance of that old woman seemed...

"Miss?"

There was a knock at the door from outside.

"Ah Jiang, it’s me."

"Mr. Yan would like to ask you something. Would you like to change tonight?"

"Change? Change..."

An Xiunian wanted to ask what to change, but quickly realized that might give her away.

In web novels, the common trouble for protagonists who have experienced soul transference is the lack of the original host’s memory. To solve this problem, most authors employ two methods: the first is to simply claim amnesia; the second is to have the transference also include access to the original host’s memories.

Having been in a car accident, An Xiunian could have simply claimed amnesia; however, unfortunately, a CT scan of her brain had already been performed, and the doctors confirmed there were no issues. She also lacked knowledge in the neurosurgery of amnesia, so claiming memory loss directly might raise suspicion.

Furthermore, Yan Xin’s phone had been severely damaged in the accident. Without being able to know all of Yan Xin’s social media passwords, there was no way for her to learn about Yan Xin’s past experiences.

Therefore, all that An Xiunian could do was to proceed with caution and care.

"Miss? Tonight, would you like to change? Mr. Yan is awaiting your response."

An Xiunian was thinking fast.

Couldn’t they add a direct object to the sentence? Without any context, how would anyone know what to change?

The wounds were already healed; there was no need for a change of dressing. So what was it that needed to be changed? Clothes? Shoes? Handbags? Contact lenses?

But unfortunately, An Xiunian did not have much time to think.

"Tonight, let’s not change anything."

So, that was the answer she gave.

"All right, I will go and give your response to Mr. Yan."

An Xiunian sat in the chair, beginning to contemplate her future.

She had now become Yan Xin.

The heiress to the leading household appliance enterprise, Lanxin Group—her "father" Yan Shixiong was the company’s legal representative, and her mother Lin Rui was a full-time homemaker.

The attitude of these new parents toward her was worlds apart from that of her real parents. They were extremely concerned about her injuries; the warmth of family she felt in their words was something An Xiunian had never experienced before.

Father Yan Shixiong said to her, "We were truly scared to death when we received the news."

Mother Lin Rui said, "What would we do if something happened to you?"

"From now on, you mustn’t take the bus again."

"Yes, we will arrange for someone to pick you up and drop you off."

This was a super luxurious villa with five floors, and it was just one of the properties owned by Father Yan Shixiong.

In the past, Yan Xin, who once was her schoolmate, actually lived in such a place.

"Now, I need to be circumspect and prudent, yes, circumspect and prudent."

She had to gradually blend into this family, bit by bit becoming Yan Xin.

Not just in appearance, manner, behavior, poise, and consumption habits, she had to gradually align herself with the other.

Now, she no longer needed to worry about small scholarships and tuition fees, nor did she need to work tirelessly to save up for studying abroad. There was no need to cook, no need to wear old clothes to save money; she could change into a different handbag every day without any issues.

Yes!

Now, she had forever escaped from that disgusting original family.

She held no nostalgia for her real parents and that good-for-nothing brother. An Xiunian was now completely dead!

An Xiunian walked into a room dedicated to clothes, shoes, and handbags, staring at the dazzling array of luxury brands. Up to now, she had not memorized all the brand names in here.

"Just one of these bags costs hundreds of thousands..."

An Xiunian could only say that poverty limited her imagination.

It was simply outrageous. A bag, once labeled with a luxury brand, could skyrocket in value to such an outrageous extent. The most expensive luxury bags could be worth an entire apartment in a first-tier city!

"No wonder there are so many people online who resent the wealthy; if I were them I would hate them too."

She still found it hard to adapt to this identity, clutching such an expensive bag in fear of dropping it and making sure to place it back down carefully and gently.

"With so many bags, I have enough to carry. I don’t need to buy any more... But would that seem unlike Yan Xin?"

After spending a full hour in there, An Xiunian finally came out.

"Yan Xin, consider this my debt to you."

She was now starting to understand the feelings of the character Xiao Yanzi, who was awarded the title of "Pearl Princess," from those TV dramas she watched as a child.

But, she had no regrets!

Because of the excitement, she had been in a state of severe insomnia for the past couple of days.

So, even after lying in bed, she simply couldn’t fall asleep.

Or perhaps, she was afraid that once asleep, she would depart from this body and become a lonely wandering ghost.

While her real self had already turned into a corpse lying in the funeral home.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she still couldn’t sleep.

Thus, she opened her eyes and sat up in bed.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, she hadn’t yet reacted, only to realize that this place...

Was the Yan Family’s villa.

"Right, I don’t need to..."

An Xiunian suddenly felt a bit cold.

She still felt a bit unaccustomed.

How did those soul-transmigrated protagonists in the web novels accept their new identities so quickly? Their mental resilience was incredibly impressive.

With that thought, she draped a piece of clothing over herself and walked out of the room.

She hadn’t gone far when suddenly she heard the sound of footsteps ahead.

She slowly moved forward.

Immediately after, she heard a voice.

"She indeed said... not to switch tonight, right?"

"Yes. So I find it strange. If we don’t switch it soon..."

"Perhaps she has her reasons."

"I really don’t know what she’s considering."

This left An Xiunian somewhat puzzled.

Switch... what exactly needed to be switched?

By the sounds of it, one was Ah Jiang, and the other person...

Must be her current mother, Lin Rui!

But what exactly needed to be switched?

"Forget it, we can still manage for some time," Lin Rui’s voice came through: "However, why has she said nothing since being discharged?"

Said nothing?

An Xiunian’s heart tightened—said what?

"There’s nothing we can do," Ah Jiang continued: "If the young miss doesn’t speak, we can’t just ask."

"Mm-hmm," Lin Rui continued: "Yes. We can’t just ask her. Unless she’s willing to tell us."

"If she doesn’t speak, it’s probably not going smoothly."

"Alright, you go rest now. I need to go back to sleep as well."

"Goodnight, Madam."

An Xiunian immediately returned to her room.

Obviously, not having Yan Xin’s memories was causing her great problems.

In fact, she had always been puzzled by one question.

Which was...

Why on earth would Yan Xin take the bus?

With her status, the villa’s garage was full of luxury cars, so why take the bus?

Where was she originally planning to go?

The Yan parents hadn’t mentioned where she was headed on the bus.

However, An Xiunian naturally couldn’t get an answer to this question, so when the police asked her, she could only fabricate a response. It seemed, though, that she hadn’t been caught in a lie.

"I need to figure out Yan Xin’s past."

An Xiunian had to obtain this information, so she thought of someone.

Yan Xin’s fiancé, Guan Ning.

He was the person who had visited her while she was hospitalized.

A complete tall, rich, and handsome man. His looks and physique were like the male lead straight out of a romance novel.

Perhaps, through him, she could learn about Yan Xin’s past experiences.

Of course...

This also meant that this man would become her husband in the future.

But An Xiunian didn’t feel any aversion to this idea. After all, the old her couldn’t have possibly ended up with such a high-quality man.

Tomorrow, she would go and ask him.
