”Big sis Yuan, you really don’t have a crush on some handsome police officer?” The youth’s name is Chen Yi, she is one of Yuan Xin’s manager. They met when they were in high school and has been working for Yuan Xin since then.
Half year after graduating from high school, Yuan Xin’s parents died in a car accident, and she took over the family’s company, and changed from a young girl to a young woman. At frst there was turmoil, then it stabilized, the patriarchs were all gone, and she had to use the delinquents punks she went to school with to go into the company and fill the numbers. She couldn’t make a lot of money now, but she still has no problem paying the company’s staff.
That’s why the original body owner didn’t hesitate to agree when Ah Xin needed to exchange her body for some compensation. Additionally, in Ah Xin’s compensation, she also asked not to fire any employee in her company. In reality, this company, was only consisted of around ten people.
As she heard Chen Yi’s nervous questioning, Ah Xin stubbed out her cigarette and tossed the cigarette butt to Chen Yi as the original body owner would do, and Chen Yi put it away to throw it in the trash later. There are cameras all around, it’s no good if the police uncle saw her smoking.
”No.”
After they heard of Ah Xin’s words, her followers looked at her as if she was lying, besides making money and looking for handsome men, what could make her wait that long?
Ah Xin didn’t explain, her eyes fell on the entrance of the police station, the original owner did come here to see the new handsomepollice officer. But she wasn’t, she waited here in passing because Lin Siya would be coming out of there, too.
Lin Siya was originally from a wealthy family, and her tragic life story happened because of a playboy named Gu Yan.
Everything that happened in her tragic story can be summarized in two words: substitute girlfriend.
Lin Siya wasn’t the substitute.
Gu Yan was a second generation rich man from a good family, but he was a very popular playboy. Then he met Lin Siya. and with a lot of effort, finally pursued the goddess of his heart.
He was so proud of pursuing his Goddess that he couldn’t resist the temptation to hang out with his playboy brothers again. He was really in love with Lin Siya at the time and had no intention of playing with another woman.
But Lin Siya thought that Gu Yan has betrayed her and left the country in anger, and that’s when Gu Yan realized that Lin Siya was very important to him. In order to regain Lin Siya’s heart, he gradually disconnected from his playboy friends and returned to the right path, and met a woman who resembled Lin Siya, Jian Jia.
Perhaps because he couldn’t get Lin Siya’s forgiveness, Gu Yan wanted to look at the face that resembled Lin Siya’s, so he proposed to keep Jian Jia. At that time, Jian Jia needed money, so she agreed to do it for the money. With an apprehensive heart, she planned to give him everything, but later she found out that Gu Yan only used her as a substitute girlfriend.
When she heard Gu Yan call out Lin Siya’s name, her heart turned sour, somehow she fell in love with this infatuated man. When Gu Yan got drunk, he mistook Jian Jia for Lin Siya and had sex with her.
Afterwards, Gu Yan was very frustrated and paid a sum of money to get rid of Jian Jia.
It wasn’t long before Lin Siya returned, and Gu Yan realized that she was testing him, and she hadn’t been looking for anyone else for three years. She come back to be with him again. Overjoyed, Gu Yan forgot about his affair with Jian Jia, happy to be with someone he loved and it didn’t take long for him to propose.
On the day of their wedding, a skinny woman barged in and knelt in front of Gu Yan, begging him to save her son. It turned out that since Jian Jia’s child was born, the child was sick and only his father could save him.[1]
The truth erupted and Lin Siya couldn’t accept it anymore, especially because Gu Yan, who originally liked her, actually pitied Jian Jia. He argued with her over and over again because of Jian Jia and the child that didn’t belong to them.
Lin Siya was a big-tempered lady who couldn’t tolerate betrayal, especially when she was disgraced by Jian Jia’s appearance that day, and Gu Yan’s approach turned her heart cold. She used her own tactics to target Jian Jia, trying to drive the other person out.
Gu Yan only maintained his feelings for her because he defended Jian Jia, plus the two of them have a lovely child, and later found out that he has long been in love with Jian Jia. He married Lin Siya because he didn’t figure out his feelings, but luckily Jian Jia showed up that day.
The child that Jian Jia gave birth was particularly smart in the head, and every time Lin Siya is up against him, she suffered.
After a series of events, Lin Siya was subjected to Gu Yan’s crazy suppression and revenge, and the family even evicted her from the Lin family because they didn’t want to offend Gu Yan.
After cutting ties with the Lin family, Lin Siya lived in an old house. At first she was still reluctant and resisted, but every time, she got screwed over badly. And then she slowly gave up, locked herself in her house and didn’t go out at all for a long period of time.
Ah Xin waited outside the police station because the neighbors called the police to report a foul smell coming from Lin Siya’s house, and they suspected there was murder. The police officer didn’t delay and hurried to Lin Siya’s house.
They went it look, only to find that there was no murder, just all kinds of takeaway boxes garbage that weren’t thrown away. Lin Siya, on the other hand, was wearing her pajamas, and they dug her out from the trash and she was taken to the police station for criticism and education.
”Miss Lin, I hope you could face life positively, no matter what happens, don’t give up, and cheer up.” At the entrance of the police station, Lin Siya who was in her pajamas was let out, and the kind officer said a few words to her.
Lin Siya nodded distractedly and walked down the steps.
Her very pretty face was now thin and bloodless, and her eyes, which should have been bright, were covered with a layer of gray, and she stepped out, wandering with her head down. As she passed by Ah Xin, she walked straight past her without stopping.
”What’s wrong with me staying in my own house and not throwing out trash?”[2]
Ah Xin watched as the miserable looking woman kicked hard against the bridge’s pillar, and bawled hard. Ah Xin took a cigarette and lit it, leaned against the bridge and started smoking.
”Big sis Yuan, why are you looking for that crazy woman?” Chen Yi hesitated, “Hey, this crazy woman is from our neighborhood. I heard that she didn’t go out for a long time, but you can hear the door was opened every day.”
Lin Siya only felt that the sky was dim, she didn’t understand. “Ah, why the fuck that Gu Yan used to love me so much, yet he betrayed me and fell in love with someone else, an ordinary woman. My family had abandoned myself, not to offend the Gu family.”
The people who was once her so called friends has called her vicious, saying that she wouldn’t even spare a child. Had she done anything to that clever brat? She did nothing, it was clear that the brat had taken advantage of Gu Yan’s fondness to frame her.
But no one believed her, yes, everyone had given up on her.
After crying for a while, Lin Siya stood up and holding onto the pillar, looking at the cars moving on either side of her, she stared at the railing. She took off her sandals, and slowly made her way to the footbridge.
She stood on the footbridge and looked down and closed her eyes, she held on to the railing and about to jump off.
”It doesn’t matter for you since you will die, but it’s bad luck for the driver down there.”
A sudden voice beside her woke Lin Siya up, and she looked over her shoulder, her clouded eyes became little brighter.
It was a strangely dressed woman, with a dyed burgundy part of hair, heavy makeup, tight leather pants. There was also a rustic chain hanging around her clothes and her neck.
This strangely dressed woman, was leaning lazily against the railing, with a cigarette in her very white and slender fingers. She dragged on her cigarette and spat a smoke ring at her, making Lin Siya coughed.
”Do you think that you won’t cause trouble for anyone else after you jumped off?”
Lin Siya was stunned, so she couldn’t die yet? This woman who was dressed in an old fashioned and ugly way, wasn’t pleasant to look at, apparently there were still non-mainstreams in this day and age.
”Why should you care?”
”As a member of this city’s builders, I don’t really want to see anything that pollutes the face of the city. After you jump, your brains and blood will be splattered, the driver will be held responsible because he touched you, and this will be a disastrous street because of what you have caused. The traffic was difficult, officers were very busy, and it’s a waste of police resources when more incidents like yours happen every day.
Afterwards when your body is taken away, the cleaning crew will have to be bothered to come and clean it up, as well as… for the witnesses, like me, there will be psychological damage. Not to mention the passer by children, who may have nightmares at night, thus creating psychological problems. When a child cried and couldn’t sleep well, their parents would get worried, which also leads to their poor rest yet they have to work on the next day. Their lack of strength could affect the operations of a company, and that company may have many companies and many people at stake, like a domino…”
Ah Xin said lightly, the melancholy temperament revealed between her eyebrows made Lin Siya even more convinced that she was a know-it-all adult.[3]
But the other party’s explanation really made Lin Siya freeze. ‘Would my death cause so much trouble for everyone?’
Ah Xin walked over to Lin Siya, put out her cigarette and tossed it to the side to the already stunned Chen Yi. She took out a packet of tissues and pulled out a clean sheet. The tissue was handed to Lin Siya and she smiled faintly, “Wipe.”
Lin Siya stared blankly before taking it and wiping the tears from her face, “So I’m wasting air when I live and manpower when I die?” Then she was really a failure of a waste.
”Whether your life is wasting air or not I don’t know, but your death will surely waste manpower and cause problems for many people and affect this beautiful city.”
Lin Siya couldn’t hold herself back, cried really loudly, the sound was awfully loud, her tears couldn’t stop flowing outside, as if she wanted to vent out everything that had been going on these days. It didn’t matter how much the non-mainstream bumpkin[4] in front of her would ridicule her later, she was desperate, ‘Is it that disastrous for me to die?’
