CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216 ORIGINAL SIN 25

After Feng Jinyan regained consciousness, Shuangshuang finally learned that her mother was actually a strong woman. Before Feng Jinyan lost her mind, she was the only daughter of the family and had started managing her family’s company early on, already accustomed to leading others.

Moreover, Shuangshuang learned from Feng Jinyan that her belief that Liu Cheng and Feng Jinyan were brought together by love and that Liu Cheng was deeply devoted was all an illusion. According to Feng Jinyan, she and Liu Cheng had known each other since childhood and were friends with a lot in common.

What did they have in common? Well, both Feng Jinyan and Liu Cheng were academic prodigies during their school days, often talking about studies. After entering the workforce, they became workaholics; one was committed to escaping the influence of her family to start her own business, while the other was devoted to managing the family business to take it to the next level!

These two workaholics treated work as their lover, completely uninterested in romance, and both had a tendency toward singlehood. They disliked having others invade their private space and didn’t want to make changes for anyone else.

Even in their free time, neither of them wanted to share it with others. Whether they traveled solo or with friends, they cherished the freedom to manage their time as they wished.

Of course, with such ideas, marriage seemed too selfish. The two of them decided not to bring misfortune to others and felt content being single.

But while both of them thought that way, their parents were not having it. As soon as they detected such inclinations in their son and daughter, they would not let it stand!

The parents of both families immediately employed all sorts of strategies with one goal: force the two of them to find partners and get married right away, even if it meant marrying a mismatched "Phoenix Men" or "Phoenix Women."

Faced with their parents’ pressure, Liu Cheng and Feng Jinyan talked it over and felt their personalities matched well. They believed that after marriage, they could cover for each other and maintain their independence while having two kids to inherit their respective companies. Wasn’t this the perfect outcome?

They quickly decided to go for it, rapidly falling in love and getting married. In front of others, they appeared genuinely affectionate and sweet, but once home, they simply focused on their work!

Because they acted so perfectly in front of others, with no scandals or flirtatious encounters, people outside often wondered how this couple, seemingly glued to each other, managed to run their businesses so well. Haha, it was all just a facade!

After hearing Feng Jinyan recount this past, Shuangshuang’s lips twitched. She had imagined Liu Cheng as the perfect husband, a schemer coveting Feng Jinyan’s wealth, or any number of possibilities, but never considered that their marriage was like this!

This also explained why Liu Cheng remained scandal-free and deeply devoted to Feng Jinyan even after her disappearance. He was still using Feng Jinyan as cover! It’s rare to see workaholic, single-minded people to this extent!

However, seeing Feng Jinyan’s sunny and energetic demeanor post-recovery, maintaining her strong woman’s mindset, Shuangshuang couldn’t help but feel grateful to the Goddess who let her be reborn, allowing her a chance to change her mother’s fate.

In her previous life, Feng Jinyan suffered too much. Even after she regained normalcy and returned to her family, her spirit and health were depleted, completely losing that strong-woman aura, becoming just a frail, ordinary woman.

Regarding Shuangshuang’s wish to keep Feng Jinyan away from family contact, perhaps Feng Jinyan noticed Shuangshuang’s resistance towards them. She didn’t oppose it, readily agreeing to accompany Shuangshuang in her entrepreneurial journey. They planned to return only after achieving some success and investigating those who initially wished her harm.

Shuangshuang knew that preventing Feng Jinyan from reuniting immediately with her parents and another daughter, Liu Man Ni, was excessive. But she selfishly wanted to monopolize her mother for a little longer.

Although Shuangshuang and her maternal grandparents found each other distasteful, there was no real grudge. However, towards her half-sister Liu Man Ni, Shuangshuang harbored extreme aversion.

In her previous life, every time Liu Man Ni spoke to her, it was with barbs, doing her best to despise, ridicule, and incite discord between her and Feng Jinyan. Shuangshuang could endure this, but what she couldn’t stand was Liu Man Ni’s malicious attitude towards Feng Jinyan, her own mother!

Because of this, Shuangshuang and Liu Man Ni fought countless times in her past life. Shuangshuang felt this woman was a brainless mad dog. She couldn’t understand why Liu Man Ni targeted her and Feng Jinyan so relentlessly.

Feng Jinyan, with a guilty heart, accepted all of Liu Man Ni’s hostility, while Shuangshuang found it impossible to escape her.

Shuangshuang could comprehend Liu Man Ni targeting her, as they were only half-sisters with no emotional bond. But she truly couldn’t fathom why Liu Man Ni was so brain-dead, treating her own mother like a mad dog everywhere!

If it weren’t for the fact that the one who suffered most from their fights was Feng Jinyan, Shuangshuang didn’t want to upset her mother. She would have wanted to end this brain-dead woman’s life. But for Feng Jinyan’s sake, Shuangshuang had to endure because she didn’t want to make her mother sad.

Thinking of the brainless Liu Man Ni, and her arrogant grandparents, Shuangshuang felt a headache. These were Feng Jinyan’s relatives whom she couldn’t scheme against or target but could only suppress her feelings towards.

In this life, she decided to escape for a while and face those who caused her so much mental anguish in her previous life later.

After Feng Jinyan recovered, the mother-daughter duo bought local household registration and replaced Feng Jinyan’s ID card, finally freeing them from being undocumented citizens.

With an ID card, Shuangshuang no longer needed to carry large amounts of cash. She opened an account under Feng Jinyan’s name and deposited the money, feeling much safer holding a bankbook!

With Feng Jinyan recovered and Shuangshuang no longer a child, it was time to quickly move forward with her entrepreneurial plans. Of course, before starting the business, on-site investigations were necessary, so Shuangshuang and her mother set off on a journey once again.

This time, Shuangshuang didn’t plan to continue riding around on a three-wheeler but intended to buy a car—not too expensive, just around two hundred thousand, suitable for long-distance travel.

Shuangshuang dared to buy a car because her mother could drive. For Feng Jinyan, a strong woman, driving was an essential skill, so when Shuangshuang mentioned buying a car, Feng Jinyan quickly and effortlessly passed the driving test.

This time, instead of Shuangshuang driving them around, it was Feng Jinyan driving with Shuangshuang.
