The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Divorce Agreement

Chu Muxi’s eyes widened, “Third brother…”

“Xixi, you woke up, you almost scared mom to death.” A voice came from outside the door.

Dressed in opulent attire, Chu Xin walked in.

She was wearing a Chanel-style outfit, slinging a limited edition handbag over her arm, her hair done up, and her expression anxious.

Seeing Jiang Hemian, she was slightly taken aback, “Hemian? Why are you here too?”

Jiang Hemian glanced at Chu Muxi with a smile, “Aunt Chu, your daughter seems to have hurt her brain after falling into the water. My suggestion is to take her to neurology to have a look; she really has hysteria.”

“What?” Chu Xin’s voice pitched higher.

Jiang Hemian walked away.

Chu Muxi tried to follow and continue explaining, “Third brother… listen to me, I really didn’t lie.”

Chu Xin hurriedly stopped her.

“Xixi, why do you keep chasing after Hemian? Have you forgotten our goal? Lu Qingyan already has a fiancée, and the Lu Family’s old master also prefers Jiang Nanshu over anyone. As for the Lu Family, let’s not think about them anymore. The main thing now is to hook Bao Yan. Bao Yan broke off his engagement with the He family, isn’t this your chance?”

Seeing Chu Xin, Chu Muxi was somewhat annoyed.

Her real mom was Mrs. Jiang, not this fallen family; she had to succeed in acknowledging her relatives.

“Bao Yan? What is he worth? I only like Brother Qingyan. He will step on Bao Yan in the future; I am the real matriarch of the Lu Family.”

Chu Xin: “…”

Was it as Jiang Hemian said, that she developed hysteria from drowning?

Isn’t this madness?

Before, her daughter would never call Lu Qingyan “Brother Qingyan.”

Because she was even older than Lu Qingyan by a few months!

Truly insane.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. You should focus on recuperating first. By the way, where are those Buddha beads on your wrist? Why don’t I see them?”

Chu Muxi looked towards her empty wrist, pursed her lips, and a look of disgust floated between her eyebrows, “The Buddha beads interfere with me; I threw them away. Don’t give me these things to wear ever again.”

Chu Xin was at a loss for words.

She really suspected her daughter was possessed by a ghost.

She took a deep breath trying to calm herself, “Just recover from your injuries first. In some time, you can go to the company and take over your dad’s industry. That waste can’t even manage a company properly; it might as well be handed over to you in advance.”

Where would she manage any company?

Her goal was to make it in the entertainment industry, to outshine that vile Su Ran.

Chu Muxi’s face was very cold, “I won’t go. I want to enter the entertainment industry. I want to act.”

Chu Xin stared dumbfounded, “I really think you’ve gone mad.”

She grabbed Chu Muxi’s hand and started walking her outside, “I’ll take you to get your brain checked, my good daughter. I was counting on you to support my old age.”

Chu Muxi quickly shook off her hand, “I’m going to the Jiang Family.”

Chu Xin looked puzzled, “What are you doing at the Jiang Family? If Song Shuling is still alive and well, I can’t find an opportunity to rise to the top. With the news of your dad’s divorce from me, we just have to wait for Song Shuling to die, then we can reveal it.”

“Recognizing relatives! I also want to tell all of this to… the Lady of Jiang Family.” Considering she was still in the body of Chu Muxi, she didn’t dare call Mrs. Jiang “mom” directly.

“Slap.” Her right cheek was met with a forceful slap.

Chu Xin was so angry her chest heaved, “You dare! Wasn’t this all planned between us? I divorced your dad, and after Song Shuling dies, I would find Jiang Huanye to be your stepdad. This way, our next lives would have some hope too. If you dare leak a thing, Chu Muxi, you know the consequences.”

Perhaps it was Chu Xin’s grimace that was too ferocious and terrifying.

Chu Muxi was scared.

Her lips quivered as she said, “I, I won’t talk anymore, please don’t be angry.”

Seeing her fear, Chu Xin softened her voice, “Xixi, our fortunes and misfortunes are shared. Of course, I hope you live well. When you say you want to recognize the Jiang Family as kin, I understand how you feel. I used to think the same, planning for after Song Shuling’s daughter went missing, to have you recognized as her goddaughter. I could’ve sent you to be raised by her directly. It’s just a pity that Jiang Leyi came out of nowhere…”

It was then that Chu Muxi felt something was amiss.

She had not inherited Chu Muxi’s memories and thus did not know what secrets she may have confided to Chu Xin.

But the information Chu Xin mentioned was enormous and even touched upon Jiang Leyi, whom she loathed the most.

She forced a smile, holding her forehead, “Mom, I feel so dizzy. I want to rest, please leave for now…”

Chu Xin looked at her doubtfully.

She really couldn’t be at ease with Chu Muxi’s strange state.

After leaving the hospital room, she contacted a neurologist to schedule a slew of brain exams for Chu Muxi.

…

In the cardiac surgery office.

Jiang Jingcheng was flipping through medical records, barely glancing at Jiang Hemian seated across from him.

He asked indifferently, “Did you see her? How was it?”

Jiang Hemian frowned, another event that science couldn’t explain had occurred.

It was just as perplexing as hearing Jiang Nanshu’s heart.

He pursed his lips slightly, hesitating, “Brother, when you just visited her in the hospital room, did you notice anything odd about her?”

Jiang Jingcheng’s hand paused.

He looked up, his face icy, “She called me ‘Brother,’ which Chu Muxi never did affectionately before; she would always put a surname before it.”

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng puzzled, Jiang Hemian propped his chin with his hand, smiling, “Brother, she claims she’s the real Jiang Nanshu, that the current Nannan stole her body. What do you think is the probability of that being true?”

Jiang Jingcheng was quiet for a long while before slowly saying, “Zero. She is not Jiang Nanshu and can never become Jiang Nanshu. One Nannan is enough.”

Jiang Hemian’s smile grew, his tone melancholic, “That’s what I thought too.”

From Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, they had discerned as much.

It seemed like Jiang Nanshu had a different soul, and the original one had disappeared.

Compared to the former Jiang Nanshu, they preferred this one.

“No wonder,” Jiang Hemian’s smile turned cold, “as soon as I heard Chu Muxi speak, I felt sick, those unpleasant memories resurfacing.”

Jiang Jingcheng spun his pen, “Let’s see what she wants to do first. It’s too early to jump to conclusions; let’s continue observing.”

“I understand; I know my limits. Should we inform the others about this unbelievable event?”

“No need,” Jiang Jingcheng said, looking at the name Chu Muxi on the medical record. His voice cold, “Since she came to us, do you think she would spare the others? It’s only a matter of time.”

“Jeez, that’s truly amazing,” Jiang Hemian said with a tone of regret, “I really want to take her to the lab for a thorough study. I mean, someone who nearly drowns for twenty minutes and still manages to climb ashore alive, if that’s not supernatural, what is? If I could figure out what she’s made of, I might not be far from becoming the head of a research institute.”

Jiang Jingcheng: “…”

“Do you think anyone in our family would be foolish enough to believe her?” Jiang Hemian continued.

Jiang Jingcheng immediately thought of Mrs. Jiang and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Probably not.”

The Mrs. Jiang they were discussing was at this moment caught in the vortex of a divorce storm.

Mr. Jiang slammed the divorce agreement down on the table.

The final ultimatum, “If Nannan doesn’t come home, you leave too. If she agrees to come home, you can stay.”
