Chapter 18: She of 18 past lives
Ever since she crossed over, nothing had made her comfortable, but today she finally let out the pent-up anger in her heart.
Previously, she would see a black and skinny classmate who was slightly less attractive than her (in her own opinion, though her classmate had found a boyfriend in college while she remained single), yet this person was carefree. She used to wonder, why was she so confident?
Now she finally understood that living without regard for anything was indeed liberating.
Thinking about her past life brought tears to her eyes. She hailed from a rural village in the North, where her parents had given birth to her at eighteen. Dreaming of life elsewhere, they left to work in the South when she was just a hundred days old.
Jiang Xinyu’s parents were quite good-looking; her mother was the epitome of a girl-next-door beauty, while her dad, despite his average looks, had a tall and well-built physique. However, Jiang Xinyu turned out to be an anomaly.
Jiang Xinyu looked at her grandmother sitting opposite her, who bore an eighty-percent resemblance to herself, and realized she had inherited her traits from a generation skipping her parents.
When she was one, her parents divorced, mainly because they couldn’t resist external temptations at such a young age, and both cheated.
Her dad fared slightly better, as a wealthy woman around her grandmother’s age took him in, mainly because of his physical endurance.
Her mom got involved with a big boss who was old enough to be her grandfather.
The two reached a mutual agreement and swiftly divorced. Initially, her mom would still send milk powder and money monthly to little Jiang Xinyu.
