She actually saw Si Moyan.
He was dressed in black, looking at her with deep, narrow eyes. His eye sockets were so red they looked as if they were about to drip blood.
He reached out his long, fair, and slender hand toward her.
"Yanyan, come back. Don't leave. My family and I can't lose you. You are the most important existence in our lives!"
Wen Yan blinked. Before she could react, she saw Old Master Si, Si Jingyi, and Little Youyou.
"Little Yan, do you want Grandpa's heart to ache to death? Hurry up and come back!"
"Sister-in-law, you are my only sister-in-law in this life, the next life, and the life after that. We only acknowledge you!"
"Sister-in-law, you said you wanted to see me get a boyfriend. You were afraid I'd fall for another scumbag, so you were going to check them for me. If you leave, who will check them for me?"
"Wuwuwu, Sister-in-law, please don't leave, okay? I'm begging you, Sister-in-law, we all like you so much—"
Little Youyou was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Wen Yan's thoroughly chilled heart slowly began to warm up.
She slowly placed her hand into the man's long, large palm.
The man gripped her small hand tightly, pulling her up from the darkness.
"Yanyan, don't be afraid. We are taking you home!"
Home?
Right, she had a home now.
She had a husband and family who liked her.
She was no longer all alone.
She was the real Wen Yan to begin with.
She hadn't stolen someone else's nest.
She wanted to go home; she couldn't just vanish into ashes!
...
In the glass room.
Just as Miao Daoxing chanted the final spell, he suddenly sensed a powerful resistance.
Pfft—
Miao Daoxing's internal organs felt as if they were going to rupture in that instant.
A coppery sweetness surged up his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The bell in his hand stopped ringing. His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Brother Daoxing!" Wen Yue stepped forward in panic and unease.
What was going on?
Wasn't it supposed to be a success? Why was Miao Daoxing spitting blood?
At the same time, Wen Yan, who was held tightly in Si Moyan's arms, slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing that Wen Yan could still open her eyes, Miao Daoxing forced himself up from the ground and shook the bell again.
Right at that moment, the glass room was suddenly enveloped by a gloomy, eerie aura.
Jiang Nan, who was holding the video camera, couldn't help but tremble her hands.
Even though she knew about supernatural events, seeing them for real still left her somewhat panicked and flustered.
That dark shadow stood beside Miao Daoxing.
"The real Wen Yan has returned. What gives you the nerve to keep forcibly occupying someone else's body and not leave?"
Wen Yan wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth. Enduring the discomfort in her body, she stood up from Si Moyan's embrace.
After glancing at Miao Daoxing, she looked straight at Mother Wen. "Back then, it wasn't the nanny who swapped Wen Yue and me. The one who truly didn't want me was you, my biological mother!"
Mother Wen's body trembled violently.
How... how did she know?
Mother Wen took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself down.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. You're possessing my biological daughter's body right now. Master Miao told you to leave; do you have to forcefully occupy it and refuse to go?"
Wen Yan coldly twitched the corners of her lips. "Then, why don't you ask her who the real owner of this body is?"
Wen Yan pointed at the dark shadow.
The dark shadow slowly spoke, "I am the real soul from another world. I occupied Wen Yan's body for over ten years. She has merely returned to her own body and world."
Miao Daoxing and the Wen family all furrowed their brows tightly.
Mother Wen looked at the dark shadow. "Yanyan, what nonsense are you saying? You are my biological daughter!"
Wen Yue nodded. "Sister, hurry and return to your own body. We all miss you very much!"
Wen Shiyu put on a sincere and earnest expression. "You are our real family!"
A cold, mocking smile curled on Wen Yan's lips. "What are you pretending for? That's enough!"
During Miao Daoxing's ritual this time, only Father Wen and Wen Yiheng from the Wen family hadn't come.
Father Wen was busy being intimately entangled with Miao Jiulan.
As for Wen Yiheng, he couldn't stand his family's hypocritical behavior.
The dark shadow looked at the Wen family, its gaze slowly landing on Wen Yue.
Wen Yue instantly felt as if she were being stared at by a cold, venomous snake.
"What you wanted was never the real Wen Yan, but a Wen Yan who was as stupid as a pig and a good-for-nothing."
Mother Wen's brows furrowed deeply. "Yanyan, what are you talking about?"
"Enough! Actually, the person who least wanted me to return to the Wen family was you, wasn't it? However, seeing that I knew nothing, you felt I wasn't a threat, which was why you agreed to acknowledge me back into the Wen family."
"And Wen Yue. She hypocritically gave up her room for me, but only a few days after I moved in, she falsely accused me of stealing her amethyst necklace. Also, at the socialite gathering, she deliberately misled me into thinking the finger bowl water was soup, making me make a complete fool of myself."
"Not only that, she even put Wen Shiyu's underwear under my pillow, making Wen Shiyu think I was a pervert secretly in love with my own older brother. From then on, he loathed me even more!"
Wen Yue's face instantly turned a mix of green and purple. "I didn't! Sister, don't slander me!"
The dark shadow sneered. "I'm not your sister at all. I am the soul from another world who occupied Wen Yan's body."
The dark shadow didn't say another word to the Wen family. She bowed to Wen Yan, expressing deep apologies. "I wanted to leave a long time ago, but I was afraid that if I left, you wouldn't be able to come back. Fortunately, by a stroke of luck, you've finally returned to your own body. I used to court disaster and did many things that made Si Moyan and the Si family misunderstand. I hope you won't blame me. I was also deceived by Wen Yue and Gu Beichen."
Wen Yan knew that this soul from another world was also a miserable person.
She longed for the love of the Wen family, but not only did she not receive it, she was deeply hurt instead.
"Everything is fate. I don't blame you. Go reincarnate in peace!"
The dark shadow nodded, then swiftly vanished from the glass room.
Miao Daoxing failed once again. His legs gave way, he fell to his knees, and he spat out fresh blood.
Jiang Nan, who had recorded the entire process, was absolutely shocked.
She looked at the Wen family in disbelief. "A thief crying catch the thief, that's probably talking about you guys!"
The expressions of the Wen family instantly resembled a color palette, displaying a spectacular array of colors.
Si Moyan scooped up the weak Wen Yan into his arms. Before carrying her away, he swept a dark, ruthless gaze over the Wen family.
Since they had not the slightest bit of affection for Wen Yan, then this time, he would no longer show any mercy!
Receiving Si Moyan's gaze, the Wen family all shuddered.
After Wen Yan was carried home by Si Moyan, she fell into a coma for three days.
During these three days, a storm of blood and wind was stirred up in the business world of Ye City.
The Si Group frantically besieged the Wen Group. Anyone who supported the Wen Group would be treated as a target for attack and elimination by the Si Group.
The Wen Group was already precarious and tottering. Facing the wrath of the Si Group's person-in-charge, who was enraged for the sake of a beauty, it declared bankruptcy in less than three days.
The once glorious Wen family thus brought down its curtains, truly making people sigh in lament.
