The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Inside the cafe

"Here's five million. I don't want to see you in Province C again!" A woman in elegant clothes slammed a bank card onto the table in front of Shu Wanwan. She glared at the girl with anger on her face.

Shu Wanwan crossed her arms and said, "Is that all?"

Shu Wanwan's eyes revealed a kind of contempt and disdain as she spoke. She stared directly at Jiang's mother with a cold gaze, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a playful smile. This smile was tinged with sarcasm, as if mocking the other person's ignorance.

When Jiang's mother saw Shu Wanwan's expression, she became even angrier. She glared at Shu Wanwan with anger on her face.

"Bang!" Jiang's mother slammed the table and stood up, her eyes wide open, and said in a sharp voice: "You'd better be sensible and take this money to leave Province C. Don't force me to use any tricks, otherwise none of us will look good!" Her eyes were full of contempt, as if looking at her any longer would dirty her eyes.

Shu Wanwan looked at the sarcastic middle-aged woman in front of her and couldn't help but frown. She sighed inwardly: Oh, I really don't want to say a word to such a person.

Then Shu Wanwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and replied lightly: "Auntie, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. You should keep this money for yourself."

Shu Wanwan looked at the woman before her. She didn't look like she was destined for wealth, but judging by her attire, she certainly looked like the wife of a wealthy family. Strangely, a dark aura lingered around her face, suggesting a bloody disaster. Even if death wasn't inevitable, she would suffer physical pain. Her wealth palace also revealed an eerie red hue, entwined with the dark aura.

Shu Wanwan didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She stood up, ignoring Jiang's mother's reaction, and walked out of the cafe on her own. She walked lightly and didn't look back. Behind her, Jiang's mother's curses continued to be heard.

Walking out of the cafe, Shu Wanwan took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air rushing into her nostrils, as if to dispel the boredom and depression in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if she had known that such trouble would happen, she should not have saved the man named Jiang Jingchen. Now, she has to face the entanglement of Jiang Jingchen, the annoying mother. Thinking of this, Shu Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "Oh, why am I so unlucky?"

Half a month ago, a suffocating feeling spread from Shu Wanwan's nose to her entire body. She wanted to scratch her nose, but her hands were bound and unable to move. She struggled to open her eyes, and was surrounded by an endless blue sea.

"What the hell is this place? Why am I here?"

Shu Wanwan was filled with panic and began to swim upwards desperately. After a long and arduous effort, she finally reached the surface. She gasped for air, coughed incessantly, and struggled to catch her breath.

She tried to recall what had happened, but her memory was hazy. She only remembered that she seemed to be fighting the enemy on a mountain, and then she lost consciousness. Could she be dead?

As Shu Wanwan was thinking, she suddenly heard a man's weak cry for help. "Help... Help... Gulp... Gulp..." The voice became smaller and smaller, as if it would disappear at any moment.

Shu Wanwan quickly turned her head to look for the source of the sound. Her eyes swept across the turbulent sea, finally settling on a place not far from her.

There, a man struggled in the water, flapping his hands, trying to grab onto something to maintain his balance. But what could he grab onto in the deep sea? As time passed, the man's body gradually sank, and his cries for help became weaker and weaker, finally disappearing into the water. Shu Wanwan sensed that the situation was not good. The man might drown. So, Shu Wanwan threw all her previous thoughts out of her mind, took a deep breath, and swam quickly towards the man.

"Never mind, saving lives is the most important thing."

Shu Wanwan finally pulled the man out of the water and reached out to his neck. The artery touched by her fingertips was still beating weakly, which made her breathe a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he's still alive!"

She quickly stretched out two fingers, mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and gently tapped the other person's forehead.

"Why is there no response? Why can't I use my spiritual power?" Shu Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized that it seemed that her spiritual power did not recover with her rebirth. She thought about it again and again.

"Do I need artificial respiration?..." Shu Wanwan thought of this and shook her head, trying to dispel this ridiculous idea. "Artificial respiration, what the hell."

She took a deep breath and once again mobilized her spiritual energy, gathering it at her fingertips. This time, she felt the familiar power gradually gathering.

She stared at her fingertips closely, and saw a faint light begin to flicker. She concentrated her mind and focused all her attention on her fingertips.

At this moment, a tiny light flashed from her fingertips, and she quickly pointed her finger at the man's head. She did not hesitate, for she was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, the man would be in danger.

As her fingertips touched the man's forehead, she felt a warm breath passing through her fingertips. After a while, the man opened his eyes, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" The man said in a weak voice and excited tone.

Shu Wanwan frowned when she saw the man wake up. This person was really strange. She didn't want to argue any more, so she stood up and said, "Since you're awake, I'll leave."

"Wait a minute." The man stood up quickly.

"What's wrong?" Shu Wanwan looked at the man in confusion.

"Thank you for saving me. Um... I didn't bring my phone and wallet. Can you take me back with you..." The man scratched his head embarrassedly.

“…” Shu Wanwan was speechless.

Wait, she has no money, and she can't go back. She looked around at the surrounding environment, the endless sea and the deserted beach.

Shu Wanwan was really at her wit's end, so she counted on her fingers and said, "Wait, someone will come." Then she found a reef and sat down on the beach leaning against it.

The next day, a huge headline, "Jiang Jingchen fell into the water and was brought back from the beach by the police," was on the hot search list. When you clicked on it, you could see a photo of a wet Jiang Jingchen and Shu Wanwan sitting in a police car.

"Who is this woman? Could it be that this woman caused our brother Chen to fall into the water?"

"Jiang Jingchen revealed he had a girlfriend before, could it be this woman?"

"What a green tea, sticking so close to our Brother Chen."

"I know, I know. It seems they were seen by an old man collecting rubbish at the beach. He called the police and they brought them back."

"Why would my brother Jiang go to such a desolate place?!"

"Are you going on a date with this woman?! Ahhhh no, my brother Jiang is not clean anymore!!"

Shu Wanwan read the comments on the trending search and was speechless. She slammed her phone to the bed, rolled over, and lay sprawled out on the bed. It was like being shot even while lying down. After a day, she had almost accepted the memories of this body. The owner of this body was really unlucky, the kind of person who had always been unlucky since childhood.

The original owner, Shu Wanwan, was an orphan. She was gentle and sensible since childhood, and she was also very outstanding in appearance. However, she was not adopted until she was twelve or thirteen years old. Once a child reaches a certain age in an orphanage, it becomes even more difficult to be adopted out. She watched the director shaking his head at her again and again, and gradually got used to it.

"It's okay, Wanwan, you will definitely meet a suitable family. Let's wait." Fang Ping, the director of the orphanage, gently touched the head of the petite Shu Wanwan and said kindly to Shu Wanwan.

Seeing her friends being adopted, leaving the orphanage, and finding happy families, Shu Wanwan was undoubtedly sad. However, this sadness also became her motivation. Shu Wanwan was very strong and decided to study hard and become her own support. However, she was not always as she wished. She started school a year late because of a lack of admission quotas in elementary school. This was already a disadvantage at the starting line, but her misfortune did not end there.

Since high school, Shu Wanwan has been a renowned academic achiever, consistently ranking among the top students in the province. Just when everyone thought she could change her fate with the Gaokao, she was hospitalized after a bus accident. Although she eventually made it to the exam site, she was still late and missed a subject, ultimately failing the exam.

The orphanage didn't have enough money to let Shu Wanwan repeat a year, so she went to a lesser-known university. She continued to excel in college, but society was so realistic that academic performance was useless. When applying for a job, everyone looked at academic qualifications. After repeated setbacks, Shu Wanwan finally compromised and ended up becoming an assistant despite studying acting.

But what Shu Wanwan couldn't understand now was how such a strong girl like the original owner could end up in the ocean. Was she committing suicide? She couldn't understand why she was reborn into the original owner's body after falling from a high cliff and into the freezing cold river. She knew she was probably dead, so why did she end up reborn in the original owner's body?

Is it really that simple that he was reborn just because he drowned in the same water?

"Gurgle gurgle..." The feeling of hunger in her stomach brought Shu Wanwan's thoughts back to reality. "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll investigate slowly. Eating is more important."

The elevator reached the first floor. As soon as Shu Wanwan stepped out, she saw Jiang Jingchen's handsome but unattractive face. She closed the elevator door as if she had seen the plague god.

"Why is it him again?" Shu Wanwan muttered softly.

It turned out that in the two days since Shu Wanwan returned home after her rebirth, Jiang Jingchen had called her 180 times, saying that he wanted to treat her to a meal to express his gratitude because Shu Wanwan had saved him. In fact, when Shu Wanwan saw his face with a peach blossom expression, she knew that this man had strange thoughts about her, but this peach blossom expression was a little weird. However, Shu Wanwan didn't have any spiritual power now and couldn't see anything.

"It's better to stay away." Shu Wanwan sighed inwardly.

For five consecutive days, Jiang Jingchen did not participate in any activities, did not go to the company, and did not go home. He just booked a hotel near Shu Wanwan's home and stayed there, thinking about meeting Shu Wanwan by chance every day.

The paparazzi caught him, and the topic shifted, with the headline "Jiang Jingchen enters and exits a mysterious woman's residence" quickly becoming a trending search topic. The internet erupted in outcry, and word of the incident reached Jiang's mother, leading to the scene at the beginning.

There was good news, though. A few days later, Jiang Jingchen was finally brought home by Jiang's mother. Shu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to hide from Jiang Jingchen. But bad news also followed, and Shu Wanwan stared at the text messages on her phone screen.

"You're fired."

Yes, the assistant job that Shu Wanwan had applied for before was actually also owned by the Jiang family. After this incident, she was also fired by Jiang's mother.

She lost her job!!

As expected, Shu Wanwan's unlucky power is invincible. No one can be more unlucky than Shu Wanwan. Now, although she is reborn, if she doesn't find a solution, she may starve to death again soon.
