The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

At seven o'clock in the morning, while Shu Xiangyu was still fast asleep, Xi Molin had already gotten up and quietly found the clothes he had worn when he first arrived at the Shu family home in the closet. These clothes had been donated by a kind person when he was at the orphanage.

After finishing training at the dojo in the afternoon, the dance studio upstairs was still in session. Xi Molin packed her things and went upstairs, but instead of waiting for her sister as usual, she glanced at her watch and saw that there was still an hour left until the agreed time.

"Mo Mo, you're here."

Yu Yuanyuan greeted her.

She nodded slightly in acknowledgment, her gaze continuing to search for her sister.

"Little Momo, come in! What are you doing standing outside?"

Dou Jingke also arrived at the door.

"Sister Jingke, where is my sister?"

Schimerling looked for a long time but couldn't see her anywhere.

Dou Jingke looked back at the dance studio: "She probably went to the teacher's office. Wasn't she going to report to Shanghai? She probably won't be coming to dance practice anymore."

"Xiang Yu is gone, and our dance studio's brightest star is gone too. We're really going to miss her!"

Chang Bairui chimed in from the side.

Dou Jingke patted her on the shoulder: "What can we do if we can't bear to part with her? She has better options and a wider world to explore in the future. We should support her! Besides, we'll all be leaving when university starts!"

Ximerlin's somewhat wandering thoughts were struck by their conversation: her sister was going to report to Haishi! She wouldn't be coming to dance practice anymore!

She never realized how fast time had passed!

She always thought that school was still a long way off, but it turned out that her older sister had already made plans.

My already low mood intensified to the point where I felt almost suffocated.

She lowered her head unconsciously, her eyes welling up with tears. After a long while, she said softly, "I have to go now. Please tell my sister... Thank you."

Feeling dejected, she turned around and quickly went downstairs.

Before Dou Jingke could say another word to her, judging from her expression, she was even more reluctant to let Xiang Yu leave!

Yesterday's torrential rain and today's gloomy sky mirrored Xi Molin's current state of mind. She leaned against the wall as she walked downstairs, a sour feeling rising in her throat making her feel lost. In just over a month, her dependence on her sister had become a lifeline she held in her hands. How she wished she could be with her sister forever!

Her care, love, concern, and indulgence were so addictive, and her boundless tenderness made it impossible for her to let go.

She looked up at the sky, feeling empty inside, as if she couldn't grasp anything. The time to keep the appointment was approaching, and she couldn't back down in the face of this provocation!

As Shu Xiangyu came out of the teacher's office, Dou Jingke told her that Mo Mo had come to see her.

"Is there something wrong with her?"

"That's what she said."

Although Shu Xiangyu found it a bit strange, he figured that Momo had probably made some good friends and they were hanging out together. She couldn't always be by his side, so he didn't think too much about it.

The Qijiang Four-Arch Bridge is located behind the old water plant. It was the earliest bridge built in Qizhou. However, with the changing times, the water plant and the community moved away one after another, and the four-arch bridge gradually fell into disrepair. Most of the nearby residential houses became dilapidated, and there were very few pedestrians passing by. Dense vines now cover the bridge, and it is said that snakes often appear there.

Shermerlin was already quite familiar with the neighborhood, and she and Shu Xiangjun had been to the Four-Arch Bridge twice. It only took about twenty minutes to get there by taking a side road.

It's exactly 5:50 now.

Lu Xiyi was already waiting here!

When he saw Shimmering appear, he showed no surprise and remained cold and stern. He sat on the stone steps with his legs apart, still wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday.

"I didn't expect you to actually have some guts!"

Listening to his sarcastic words, Schimerlin stood on the stone slab five or six meters away from him, his face equally calm and composed.

Lu Xiyi stared intently at her and continued, "Do you know why I'm causing you trouble?"

"You like my sister."

Schimerling gave an affirmative answer.

Lu Xiyi lowered his head and chuckled coldly, not denying it: "I do like her. I've liked her since junior high, but she's never been interested in anyone. I practiced Taekwondo so I could see her more often. Ironically, I've never even spoken a word to her... She's so beautiful, her dance is so captivating, and she's the most sacred person in my heart! I know she's going to Hai City soon, and I've also applied to a university there. We'll have a chance to meet and get to know each other. Then I'll tell her how deep my feelings for her have been all these years..."

"Someone like you is not good enough for my sister. She doesn't like you now, and she'll never like you in the future!"

Schimerlin's eyes were deep, and then he spoke with a resolute tone.

Lu Xiyi suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and his originally handsome face became somewhat distorted.

“How am I not good enough for her! My family is rich, and I am completely devoted to her.”

Ximerlin looked at him calmly: "She has a wider world ahead of her, she won't stay in this small place like Qizhou."

"What do you know at such a young age? Who in the world doesn't love money? And who can resist the temptation of money?"

Lu Xiyi understood the cold, hard rules of society very early on: as long as you have money, you can easily get anything done.

"I don't understand, but I know my sister's ideal."

"Her dream is to become a star, and isn't being a star all about making money?"

Lu Xiyi laughed in return.

Schimerling fell silent. She knew he was right. No matter who you are or what you do, the ultimate goal is to earn money to make a living and support your family.

Her parents, grandparents, and other family members all worked hard to provide a better life for her and her brother.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know I'm telling the truth?"

Lu Xiyi's smile deepened as he looked at the dilapidated, deserted, and gloomy old buildings: "Do you think the people still living in this old town don't want to move away? They'd have to have the means to do so. But they're poor, they have no money. And I will earn far more money than my father in the future. I want to have Shu Xiangyu, I want her to be my woman!"

Suddenly, Xi Molin's eyes blazed with fury as he roared, "She won't! You don't understand her at all. She became a star not just to make money, but because she loves it. She loves performing, and that's what matters most! Besides, she would never love you, and she could never be your woman!"

These words completely enraged Lu Xiyi. Caught off guard, he used a Taekwondo flying kick to swiftly send Xi Molin flying to the ground.

He struck her hard, and she fell to the ground. A sharp pain shot through her chest, making her feel dizzy and faint.

"Who do you think you are! You're just an earthquake orphan with no parents, huh... You think everyone has to pity you and be nice to you? You should look in the mirror and see if you deserve it."

Lu Xiyi vented all the resentment he had been holding in his heart on her.

He had disliked her for a long time. Why should Shu Xiangyu be nice to this sudden country girl? Why should he protect her so much and smile at her so happily? He protected her in everything, completely going beyond the feelings one would have for a younger sister.

Xi Molin clenched her fists, ignoring the pain in her body, and charged at Lu Xiyi from the ground like a leopard. She gripped his arm tightly, used her shoulder as a fulcrum, and with a strength she didn't know she had, she also threw him over her shoulder hard.

Despite the pain from being thrown, Lu Xiyi quickly got up and immediately started fighting with her.

Due to the significant difference in height, strength, and physique between the two, it wasn't long before Ximerlin was beaten so badly he couldn't stand up.

Lu Xiyi knew she was powerless to fight back, but he still took advantage of her falling to the ground to deliver a few more punches. He still wasn't satisfied with that, so he kicked her a few more times.

"You think you can fight me? You overconfident bastard!"

Panting heavily, Lu Xiyi wore a mocking sneer. Although he was injured, it wasn't serious.

He took two steps back, looking at the ugly creature lying on the ground with disgust, finally venting his jealousy and hatred. He would never allow anyone to take away what belonged to him!

However, just when he thought Shimmering would admit defeat and kowtow, she unexpectedly stood up little by little from the ground, supporting herself with her blood-red hands and letting out a low growl from her throat.

Lu Xiyi stared at her in disbelief: "You..."

Her disheveled hair partially obscured her blood-stained face. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her bloodshot eyes cold and lifeless, like those of someone staring at prey: "Lu Xiyi, since I survived the earthquake, I will never succumb to so-called fate again. My parents love me and cherish me. The tens of thousands who died were my compatriots. Shu Xiangyu is my most important sister. A twisted and ridiculous person like you could never be with her. With me here, you'll never get her!"

Her last words were almost a roar.

She would never admit defeat, nor would she beg for mercy. Even if he killed her today, she would fight him to the death.

Lu Xiyi was stunned by her terrifying appearance. A sense of fear actually arose in his usually self-righteous heart. He took a few steps back, not daring to meet her stubborn eyes again.

"Come on! Let's...fight again."

Schimerlin struggled to lift his arms, which were already covered in cuts and were trembling slightly.

Lu Xiyi pointed at her, his voice trembling with emotion: "You're a fucking lunatic! A madwoman who doesn't value her life!"

"You're right, I went insane long ago when my family wasn't around, and I've already died once. You want me to give up? Go ahead and kill me, then there'll be no way to stop you..."

Schimerlin sneered, his blood-covered face giving off a chilling look.

Lu Xiyi's original intention was just to teach her a lesson, not to actually cause a death. He is now an adult, and if things get out of hand, no matter how rich he is, he will definitely go to jail!

"Do you think I care? I'll get Shu Xiangyu whether you're with me or not."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Xi Molin called out to him loudly, "Lu Xiyi! You said that as long as I dare to come, you won't bother her anymore."

Lu Xiyi turned around, staring at her with disdain, and said with a cold laugh, "Xi Molin, you are too naive! I can change my mind at any time, and what can you do about it... My affairs with Shu Xiangyu are none of your business."

Schimerling's body was already swaying precariously, but she was still gritting her teeth and persevering.

"Then I will definitely play along to the end!"

Lu Xiyi scoffed coldly, said no more, and quickly left.

As the figure disappeared, Shimmering, who had collapsed to the ground, seemed to be transported back to the day of the earthquake, when she too was in pain all over, thought she wouldn't survive, and was terrified of losing her mother...

"Mom, I was very brave this time. I didn't back down. Aren't I great...?"

Her voice gradually faded away, and she completely lost consciousness and fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Grandpa Liu, who often piled up scrap here, passed by the Four-Arch Bridge as usual. Suddenly, he saw a small figure lying on the stone slab of the side road. He rushed over and saw that the girl was covered in blood, as if she had been beaten badly by someone, and was unconscious.

"You beast! Which beast did this?"

Grandpa Liu was furious. He threw his things aside, cursed, picked up the little girl, and rushed to the hospital. It was getting dark by then.

Around eight o'clock, Shu Xiangyu returned carrying more than half a watermelon and saw Yang Yufen and Shu Xiangjun sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Mom, is Momo back?"

Yang Yufen quickly said, "Isn't she with you?"

Shu Xiangyu placed the watermelon on the dining table: "No, she had something to do today and left without waiting for me."

Yang Yufen put on her slippers and stood up, a hint of worry in her eyes: "She hasn't come back yet. It's so late. Is she still out with her friends?"

Shu Xiangjun chimed in, "Mo Mo has never gone out with any friends, and she rarely goes anywhere alone."

Shu Xiangyu frowned, subconsciously touching his lips. When he smelled that Momo was not there, his heart clenched as if it were being squeezed, filled with panic and fear.

Where will she go?

Yang Yufen immediately picked up her phone and dialed Shu Yunrong's number. After he answered, she told him the general situation.

Shu Yunrong told them to go out and look for her first. If Momo had gone to a friend's house, he would contact his friend at the police station.

Half an hour later, the police station replied, saying that a hospital had reported that an injured girl had been brought to their facility, and that the girl's description matched theirs.

Yang Yufen and the other two quickly rushed to the emergency department of the hospital where the police were called.
