A month later, due to the DNA report, Huo Sijue finally allowed me to move around the villa.
However, I had to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and was not permitted to step outside the villa.
"Madam, she's talking to herself again."
"How pathetic, talking to the mirror saying 'I am Luo Qing.'"
"I heard the young master plans to send her to a mental hospital..."
The whispers of the servants reached my ears as I stood in front of the mirror in the hallway, gazing at my haggard face.
Yes, I am Luo Qing.
The one who was abused by Huo Sijue and forced to terminate her pregnancy.
I am also... Luo Qing, the young lady of the Interstellar Group.
Ever since I received Old Li's note that day, my memories began to slowly resurface.
But I kept my composure, continuing to play the role of the "madwoman."
"Qing Qing, your bird's nest." Su Mei approached with a bowl in hand, her face adorned with a perfect fake smile.
This woman now occupied my former master bedroom, using my belongings, wearing my clothes, and even my father had to call her "daughter."
"Thank you." I lowered my head, pretending to appear timid.
"By the way," she elegantly adjusted her skirt—an outfit I wore during my engagement, a Chanel—"did you know? Si Jue said he would take me to Paris, and we are planning... to have a child."
My hands trembled slightly, but my face remained expressionless.
"Congratulations," I replied.
She seemed disappointed by my reaction and turned to leave.
Once she was gone, I immediately got up. This was the opportunity I had been waiting for all month—Su Mei would be in the garden soaking up the sun at this time every day, while Huo Sijue was in a meeting at the company.
I quietly slipped into her room. Ever since our last encounter at the hospital, I had noticed she carried a Safe with her.
Sure enough, the Safe was hidden in a secret compartment of the wardrobe.
The password? I tried Huo Sijue's birthday, but it was incorrect.
Then... what about my birthday?
With a beep, the Safe clicked open.
Inside, there was a car accident report from five years ago, along with... receipts from a cosmetic surgery clinic.
My hands shook as I flipped through the documents page by page:
It turned out that the accident five years ago had been meticulously planned. Su Mei, or rather Zhou Mei, was the sister of Zhou Ming, who was Huo Sijue's college classmate.
They took advantage of my amnesia to have Zhou Mei undergo surgery to look like me. Meanwhile, the real me had been sent to a remote sanatorium.
But they never expected that I would regain my memory early and unexpectedly return to Huo Sijue.
"What are you looking for?"
The cold voice came from behind me. I turned around abruptly and saw Su Mei standing at the door, a strange smile on her face.
"You really... haven't gone completely mad, Luo Qing."
"You've known all along that I am the real Luo Qing?" I clutched the documents tightly in my hands.
"Of course," Su Mei's smile grew even colder. "Otherwise, why do you think Si Jue insisted on forcing you to terminate the pregnancy?"
I trembled all over. "You are so cruel..."
"Cruel?" She scoffed. "Do you have any idea how much pain I endured to undergo surgery to look like you? All just to marry Huo Sijue and become the young mistress of Interstellar Group!"
"So, you did it for..."
"That's right, Interstellar Group!" She interrupted me. "My brother said that as long as I can control Huo Sijue, Interstellar Group will be ours!"
Suddenly, I understood something. "Zhou Ming... he was the one who orchestrated the car accident five years ago?"
"Smart," she clapped her hands. "But it's too late to talk about that now. Do you really think Si Jue would believe a 'madwoman'?"
