Chapter 1 – Awakening (1)
[Today’s Breaking News]: Mr. Zuo died from a heart attack at the Central Hospital at 10 o’clock tonight. The Zuo family is in an unstable situation and the factions are endlessly fighting. Why don’t we also take a guess, Si Fuqing, a resource coffee1 celebrity who relies on the Zuo family and just entered the entertainment industry, will she survive in the future after Mr. Zuo left?
1resource coffee on the Internet refers to a person whose popularity and quality are not outstanding, those with poor acting skills but playing a leading role when they debut.
“Bang!” a mobile phone was slammed in front of Si Fuqing.
Above was today’s news. Only two minutes after it was posted out, the discussion at the bottom had already heated up.
“Si Fuqing, you should know that you are not from the Zuo family, and you don’t even have a surname of Zuo.” The one who spoke was Mrs. Zuo, her voice was cold, “Now that the old man has gone, it’s time for you to leave the Zuo family, right?”
“Do you still want to go inside and see the old man’s body? I’m going to say it here today, you’re not qualified!”
In the hall, everyone from the Zuo family gathered together.
They didn’t pay much attention to the situation there, they are seriously discussing the inheritance distribution.
And it was at this time that the body of old man Zuo was pushed to the mortuary room.
“And look at what people on the Internet are saying about you, you think you’re famous in the entertainment industry?” Mrs. Zuo sneered, “The Zuo family raised you for thirteen years, how did you return the favor? You only know how to bring shame.”
Si Fuqing lowered her head, unfamiliar memories tumbling violently in her mind, and the pain spread to her whole body.
She pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth, suppressing the sweet metallic taste that emerged from her throat. After picking up the gauze beside and wrapping it around the wrist that was dripping blood, she glanced at the phone screen.
The comments below the news have been over a thousand, all were curses.
[Although some words are not kind, but I still want to say, I don’t know how Si Fuqing is still working in the entertainment industry since Mr. Zuo has gone.]
[Okay, okay, great news! Si Fuqing finally get out of <Youth>, why should a person who cannot sing or dance be a mentor of a boy group audition?]
[She also wears heavy makeup every day, I don’t know how shameful her bare face is.]
When Mrs. Zuo saw that she was ignoring her, she raised her voice: “Are you deaf?!”
Only then Si Fuqing raised her head, her lips still stained with blood. With a slightly hoarse voice, she said: “Hm?”
She didn’t wear any makeup today, her face was pure plain.
She had beautiful skin and bones2.
2beautiful skin: white, clean, blemish-free, delicate and smooth skin will make people feel good at a glance.
beautiful bones: People with beautiful bones have better forehead proportions, neither receding nor protruding too much, just right, and round enough to look good.
Her skin was porcelain white and her long hair was soft.
It was as hazy as an ancient painting, with a dignified demeanor and elegant figure.
She also had a pair of fox eyes that were attractive, soft eyebrows, no need for words, adding a touch of beauty. It was indeed a divine face that has no flaws in 360 degrees.
However, Mrs. Zuo hated this face the most.
All these years she had been very scared, afraid that Si Fuqing would seduce her son.
But she didn’t know why Si Fuqing behaved strangely. Ever since Si Fuqing entered the entertainment industry, she wore heavy makeup that is not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts3.
3makeup that is not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts: it’s not like a human being. Or it can be said to be ugly or have a bad character.
This made Mrs. Zuo less worried.
She looked at this overwhelmingly beautiful face and remembered something a long time ago.
Thirteen years ago, Old Man Zuo went on a business trip to Sijiucheng4 and came back with a five-year-old girl by his side.
4Sijiucheng 四九城 sì jiǔ chéng: The old Beijing city is divided by city walls, which can be roughly divided into four layers, namely the outer city , the inner city, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City . The so-called “fourty-nine cities” refers to the four gates of the imperial city and the nine gates of the inner city.
It was undeniable that Si Fuqing was a beautiful child since childhood, and none of the young ladies from the Zuo family can match her.
Old man Zuo resisted all opinions and signed an adoption agreement to take her into the Zuo’s family.
Under his care, Si Fuqing’s treatment was no different from the first line of the Zuo family, and even better.
Three years ago, for some reason, Si Fuqing wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Old man Zuo also agreed and specifically sent her abroad for further training.
But Si Fuqing’s skill was very poor, and her makeup was also unbearable to look at.
Although she successfully debuted abroad and returned to China for growth, and she was also a member of the popular girl group Starry Sky Girls, the internet was full of her anti-fans, and the Zuo family had been mocked many times.
When Mrs. Zuo met the other ladies in social gatherings, she was frequently asked about this matter. Her heart was filled with anger.
If not because of old man Zuo, how could she accept Si Fuqing to stay with the Zuo family?
Si Fuqing leaned on the sofa, resting her head on her hand, and the pain in her head slowly subsided.
A few seconds later, she eventually accepted that she made a mistake in her experiment, causing an explosion and unfortunately died, then became a female celebrity with a bad reputation.
This incident told her to never drink Coke when making anti-gravity armor.
This female celebrity had the same name as her.
Before the age of five, her memory was very vague. For as long as she remembered, she had been living in the Zuo house.
The only person in the Zuo family who cared about her was the old man Zuo who brought her back. He said that her parents were both dead, so he took care of her.
But old man Zuo was busy with his business and often didn’t come home.
She had been bullied by several brothers and sisters from the Zuo family. This time, even before the argument with the Zuo family’s grandson, her wrist was cut and she nearly died.
Si Fuqing’s long eyelashes drooped down, and a bit of anger floated in her eyes.
In her previous life, she was also an orphan. Fortunately, she was picked up by an older sister and taken care of. Later, she joined a martial arts sect and met a group of ruthless senior brothers and sisters.
In the end, before enjoying her life, she died in an explosion.
Her achievement was estimated to be unmatched by the entire sect, she was also worthy of her reputation as “Weeping Ghost”.
“Okay, stop talking,” Zuo Tianfeng signaled to stop. “Let’s settle the inheritance first.”
Mrs. Zuo resented: “Looking at her like this, I’m afraid she’s going to rely on us.”
The adoption agreement that was signed by old man Zuo, no one had the right to destroy it.
Now that Si Fuqing was an adult, if she disagreed, then the adoption agreement could not be terminated.
Si Fuqing got up and her gaze finally landed upon Mrs. Zuo.
Gauze was still wrapped around her wrist, blood was seeping out little by little.
It was horrible to see, but she didn’t seem to feel the pain herself. Her fox eyes bent, turned and moved, brimming alive.
Si Fuqing tilted her lips up, and slowly smiled: “Get lost.”
