Chapter 2
Rebirth
This woman was really persistent. The voice she heard before she died was her, and the voice she heard after she died was still her. Wait, wasn’t she dead? How could she hear voices?
Lu Zhen resisted the urge to jump up and slap Lu Rou as she sorted out the memories in her mind.
“Boohoo, Sister, wake up! Why were you so careless as to walk by the water so late at night?”
At night? By the water? With the key hint, Lu Zhen suddenly recalled the first period drama she filmed when she was 18 years old. In it, she stared as the female lead, a female general with extremely high martial arts skills guarding the border. Because of her, Lu Rou got a role that didn’t have many scenes but admired the male lead and had scenes with him.
It was a scene by the river. After the filming ended and the production team was about to wrap up, Lu Rou ‘accidentally’ knocked her into the river. Due to the rapid current, she was washed away as soon as she fell into the water. Fortunately, there were staff members who noticed her and shouted the moment she fell into the water, so she was rescued.
Of course, she had learned this from her assistant later on. She was already unconscious at that time.
Everyone who was familiar with her knew that she was afraid of water. Every time she knew that there would be a water scene the next day, she would prepare in advance. But this time, the director said that although it was by the river, it was for background purposes, and she wouldn’t have to enter the water. She didn’t take any precautions. Lu Rou must have known and chose to take action today!
After Lu Zhen sorted out her memories, a word suddenly popped up in Lu Zhen’s mind. Rebirth.
Lu Zhen suddenly opened her eyes. The pure white roof came into view. She reached out tentatively and raised her arm to cover her eyes. She had actually been reborn.
Tears fell from the corners of Lu Zhen’s eyes. She was alive. She had been reborn to the period before she encountered those scandals.
“Sister, you’re awake!”
Lu Rou’s tone was filled with surprise, as if she was really happy that her sister had woken up.
Lu Zhen looked at Lu Rou’s face and smiled mockingly. She was really stupid to have helped her.
To think that she had acted for so many years. Why couldn’t she see the scheming look in Lu Rou’s eyes back then? Perhaps it wasn’t that she couldn’t see it, but that she didn’t want to see it!
Lu Rou was stunned by her mocking and fierce gaze, and her heart beat wildly.
“Sister, why are you looking at me like that?”
Lu Zhen lowered her eyes and didn’t answer. This time, she wouldn’t give Lu Rou the chance to establish the image of a kind and innocent girl.
Because of Lu Zhen’s identity, as soon as she pressed the pager, a doctor and a nurse came to the ward within a few minutes. Other people in the hospital who liked Lu Zhen also stood at the door of the ward and looked in.
“Miss Lu, how do you feel now?” the doctor in the white coat asked gently.
Lu Zhen lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was disoriented.
Seeing that Lu Zhen didn’t answer, the doctor repeated his previous question in confusion.
Everyone in the ward was wondering what was wrong with Lu Zhen. Only Lu Zhen knew that she was waiting for someone.
There was a knock on the door and several nurses pushed it open.
“Doctor Wang, I’ve brought the tranquilizer.”
“A tranquilizer? What tranquilizer?” The doctor was puzzled. He had not said that he wanted a tranquilizer!
At this moment, Lu Zhen’s lowered eyes flashed.
“Lu Rou, why do you hate me?”
His words were shocking. Although her voice wasn’t loud, the people in the ward heard her clearly.
Lu Zhen raised her face and a tear slid from the corner of her eye to her chin.
There was once a director who said that Lu Zhen’s beauty was unique. Everyone who acted with her needed great courage. If they were not careful, they would get carried away, especially when she cried.
“Sister! What are you talking about?”
Lu Rou was shocked. Why would Lu Zhen say such a thing?
Lu Rou subconsciously glanced at the people around the bed. Their frowns and suspicious expressions shocked her.
“Lu Rou, you.”
Lu Zhen enunciated each word, as if what she wanted to say was difficult to say, but in the end, she still completed the entire sentence.
“Why did you want to suffocate me with a handkerchief?”
Lu Zhen’s words were filled with doubt, grievance, and fear. There was no evidence, but her expression and the tears that kept rolling down her face seemed to be enough to condemn Lu Rou.
The door of the ward wasn’t closed tightly. Lu Zhen’s words were shocked everyone present.
“What did Zhenzhen say? Lu Rou wanted to suffocate her with a handkerchief?”
The noise outside the door made Lu Rou break out in cold sweat. She lowered her head so that no one could see her panic. A few seconds later, Lu Rou sobbed.
“Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t understand! You can’t fabricate charges just because you don’t like me!”
Lu Rou looked up with a pitiful expression.
Lu Zhen looked at her and felt a sense of mockery. Wasn’t she deceived by Lu Rou’s pitiful expression in her previous life?
She had used this expression to beg her to take the blame for her in school. She had taken a fancy to her pursuer and used this expression to beg her to introduce him to her. After being acknowledged by her father, she had begged her not to expose her.
At that time, she had already taken drugs and didn’t dare to let her father know that his real daughter was like this, so she tacitly agreed to Lu Rou’s actions and eventually caused her father to die tragically.
