Chapter 12: She Would Make Her Never Forget

Jiang Shi Yue felt even more dazed. Was she Jiang Shi Yue from the superpowered era, or this ordinary Jiang Shi Yue from a Parallel Time-Space?

But she could feel it. This body really was hers.

She sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked a photo. It had been hidden in a book by Jiang Shi Yue, afraid that Dad would find it.

It was a photo of Mother when she was still alive. The woman in the picture smiled brightly, her eyes lively and full of charm. She had been born wealthy, but later she loved the wrong man and died of depression.

The world had too many things that didn’t go right, yet in another time and space, she had found happiness again.

Just like the refined dad and beautiful mother in Jiang Shi Yue’s own timeline.

But since she had come to this Parallel Time-Space, she would clear the thorns for the version of herself in this world.

Only, where had the Jiang Shi Yue of this world gone?

Or had she gone to Jiang Shi Yue’s world instead?

Could it be like that?

After a few breaths, Jiang Shi Yue moved her mental power, preparing to check what was really going on. But the next second, a sharp pain stabbed through her head, and she stopped at once. Her brows knit slightly. It turned out that in this world, she couldn’t move her mental power whenever she wanted. There was no such power around her, either.

She could still use her abilities, she thought. Maybe it was because she had just arrived here.

That meant that in this world, whenever she used her abilities, her mental power would run dry. Jiang Shi Yue narrowed her eyes. That really was a problem.

But the discovery didn’t discourage her. Her mentor had said that every hurdle in life was training for mental power.

“Sister…” Someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Jiang Shi Yue calmly put the photo back in the book, then opened the door.

Jiang Mei Ling stood outside. Her black hair fell softly over her shoulders, making her look even more innocent and pitiful. “Tomorrow my friends and I are going to a gathering. Do you want to come too?”

In the past, she would have been confident that Jiang Shi Yue wouldn’t refuse. But today, she couldn’t help feeling unsure. Maybe it was because her own intentions weren’t clean, so she felt a bit guilty.

Jiang Shi Yue smiled. “Sure, Mei Ling. You’re so nice.”

Jiang Mei Ling froze. It was clearly the same face, but it felt like something was different.

She had been timid and stupid before, yet now she somehow made people unable to ignore her.

Between her brows and eyes was a dazzling glow, like moonlight and starlight. She was sweet and lovable.

Those were gentle features, yet she looked bright and scorching.

She overflowed with life, and that life was stubborn and unbreakable, the kind that storms couldn’t crush.

Hmph. No wonder Zhou Tong He liked her. Wasn’t it just because of this face? What a bargain for that little bitch.

But since she had agreed, Jiang Mei Ling thought smugly, she would definitely make her remember it for the rest of her life.

Jiang Shi Yue casually flipped through her wardrobe. She didn’t have many clothes, all the simplest basic styles, but they were clean. Of course. Being able to eat and stay warm was already a huge blessing. What “quality of life” could she ask for?

So that line in her memories – living worse than the servants at home – wasn’t exaggerated at all.

Even though Jiang Shi Yue’s own world wasn’t obsessed with money, she still knew that at these rich kids’ gatherings, dressing too casually could get you mocked.

Too bad Jiang Mei Ling was the kind of person who couldn’t see what mattered. No matter how much they disliked each other, they still shared the surname Jiang. They rose and fell together. If Jiang Shi Yue got laughed at, it wouldn’t be only her who lost face.

Clearly, Jiang Mei Ling didn’t understand that.
