Chap 1: Rebirth – Arrival at Yun Cheng

Scene: Lin Family Home, Living Room

"Qin Ran, from today onward, this would be your home." Ning Erlang told her daughter in a low voice as the latter sat quietly on the chair. She had been quiet since she fetched her from the airport this morning.

"Your grandmother is no longer around and we are your family now. As long as you don't do anything that would cause the Lin family to lose face, your stepfather will be able to tolerate you being here." Ning Erlang went on. She really didn't feel anything for her eldest daughter whom she didn't see for 15 years. If there is another way, she wouldn't want to bring her here. However, there is no one else who is willing to take this daughter of hers. Even her ex-husband does not want his biological daughter with him.

Erlang sighed. At the moment, it was only Qin Ran and her mother in the Lin family villa living room, waiting for the rest of the family to meet her. "Your sister, who is a year younger than you, is an excellent student. She skipped grade that is why she is now in high school, same as you. You will be attending the same school as her. Don't make trouble for her. " Erlang went on.

"You take her as an example. I don't know how Mother taught you in the countryside but whatever they are, you have to leave them behind." Erlang said sternly, already judging her as a typical country bumpkin – which she was before, in her first life.

However, the day her grandmother died, she fainted due to grief. When she woke up, she realized, she was experiencing a rebirth.

Her soul was no longer her 16-year-old self who was indeed the unrefined country bumpkin. When she died, she was already 48 years old and had achieved a lot of merits in the computing and hacking world. At her peak, she was second only to the number 1 hacker in the world, codename Q.

If she didn't die unexpectedly due to a heart attack, she would have breakthrough Q's innermost firewall and satisfy her curiosity. She had always wanted to know who Q was. She just didn't know if Q ever cared about her existence at all.

In her mind, she sighed. It seemed that in her last life, she always chased people who don't even care about her and that it caused her too much grief that in the end, she died alone as a spinster.

Right now, as she looked at her mother lecturing her how to conduct herself as a foster daughter of the Lin family, she really didn't feel much. For her, the Lin family was never her family; she had long ago cut ties with them.

It is quite funny that now, she is back to where she started. Before, she did everything to please this family just so she will be accepted. But now, she doesn't plan to do that at all. She won't beg to be loved anymore.

She plans to move forward and continue gaining merits in the computing world.

There might be some hindrances for her right now; being 16 and having Lin family take control of her registry. She has to endure the next two years before she can be fully independent and earn.

But no matter, she already knows how to deal with this family's hypocrisy. She will be the white lotus, obedient, and quiet child they want until she can enroll in a university and stay away from the doom this family had caused her in the first life.

Qin Ran lifted her head and looked at the stairway when she heard 3 sets of footsteps coming down.

'Ah, here come the three members of the Lin family.' Qin Ran thought secretly with a smirk.
