Chapter 3: Break Off The Marriage Engagement (1)
Although Duan Yixin was a little confused at first, after thinking about it carefully, she was sure that her soul had occupied someone else's body. It's a pity that she didn't inherit the memory of the original owner except the language of this world. Therefore, she really has no feelings for these villagers and this ruined village.
Duan Yixin observed the villagers for a long time before walking to Chi Xinru and her mother. She stood a few steps away from them and asked, "Miss Chi, do I still have a family? Do you know where my home is?"
Madam Chi was stunned when she heard Duan Yixin address her daughter as Miss Chi in a polite but indifferent tone. She looked at her daughter and asked, "Xinru, what happened between you two?"
Chi Xinru looked at her mother and said heartbrokenly, "Mother... Xin Xin, she– she has lost her memory. She must have hurt her head when she fell last night. Fortunately, after suffering a night of high fever, she woke up this morning. But... after waking up, she forgot everything."
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Chi and the nearby villagers who were watching them were shocked. They couldn't believe that a gentle and kind-hearted young woman would encounter such a terrible thing.
Looking at their pity-filled eyes when they looked at her, Duan Yixin thought, 'It seems that the owner of this body is living a pitiful life.'
After calming down, Chi Xinru wiped her tears, turned to look at her, and said, "Xin Xin, you can call me Xinru like you used to. Your grandfather passed away two years ago, and now you are living alone. But don't worry. You still have a fiancé who has been engaged to you since the two of you were young."
Before Duan Yixin had time to ask who her fiancé was, a young man suddenly shouted out of nowhere, "I want to break off my marriage engagement with Duan Yixin!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the young man who spoke. Duan Yixin saw a young man walking over, and a young woman followed him while holding his hand shyly. She raised her eyebrows slightly with interest and looked at them calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chi Xinru pointed at the young man and retorted, "Tang Zizheng! Do you know what you just said?!"
When the young woman saw Chi Xinru's angry look, she pulled Tang Zizheng's sleeve. She looked at him and called softly, "Elder Brother Zheng... It seems that I would still be better off leaving this village. Now that bandits have killed my whole family, I really shouldn't stay here and become a burden to you."
