My "white lotus" aunt played the victim, forcing my mother out, thinking she could marry into wealth. But I, with wide, innocent eyes, asked my grandmother: "Aunt Chloe said I'm a 'money-loser' and she'll give me a little brother to be my 'backer.' Grandma, what does 'money-loser' mean?" Grandma's face darkened instantly: "It means a fool like her who destroys other people's families." "You are not a money-loser; you are Grandma's precious treasure." I leaned into Grandma's arms, a slow smile curving my lips. In my past life, she exploited my softness and youth. After marrying my father, she conspired with her lover to boil me alive in a cauldron. This time, let's see what she has to fight me with. 1 From the moment I was born, Grandma designated me as the sole heir to the Feng family fortune. Even my father was instructed to return the company to me when I turned eighteen. This was because my maternal grandmother and Grandma were childhood best friends. My maternal grandmother even sacrificed her life to save Grandma. To repay this debt, Grandma demanded my father marry my mother. But my father, wild and free-spirited, broke my mother's heart. Disappointed in her son, Grandma decided to leave everything to me. After my mother left, my father finally came to his senses, but he could never find her again. To make up for the maternal love I lost, my father invited my mother's "good sister," Aunt Chloe, into our home. Aunt Chloe treated me extremely well, always caring for me. When kids bullied me for having no mother, she scolded them fiercely, demanding they apologize. Young and starved for motherly love, I was deeply moved. I even begged my father to let Aunt Chloe be my mother. For my sake, my father agreed. Privately, he demanded Aunt Chloe undergo sterilization, ensuring I would be his only child. She agreed on the surface but faked a medical report claiming she was naturally infertile. She then tried everything to seduce my father. Until I caught her taking folic acid. Aunt Chloe cried to me: "Auntie has a stomachache and needs medicine to get better. Can you keep this secret from Daddy and Grandma?" I nodded, but later overheard her phone call with a man: "That brat saw me taking folic acid. We need to get rid of her immediately." "A money-loser dares to compete with the son in my belly for the inheritance? Delusional!" Shocked, I tried to run but was pushed off the third-floor balcony. I survived but suffered brain damage, becoming intellectually disabled. To avoid blame, she pretended to fall while trying to save me, bleeding profusely. She cried, claiming she didn't know she was pregnant and that losing the baby hurt less than failing to save me. My father, blind to her schemes, believed her. Only Grandma suspected something was wrong and wanted to take me abroad for treatment. But Chloe whispered to me that Grandma was an old witch who wanted to eat me to extend her own life. 2 Young and brain-damaged, I couldn't distinguish truth from lies. I screamed in terror whenever I saw Grandma. Seeing this, Chloe knelt before my father: "I am willing to care for Jane for the rest of my life. I will even have another child to be Jane's crutch, to care for her forever." Tearfully, she offered to sign a prenup renouncing all claims to the property. Chloe was a master of disguise, treating me well for years. But two years after giving birth to a son, she tricked me into going abroad under the guise of visiting a spa. There, she and her lover boiled me alive. I was cooked until my flesh separated from my bones, unrecognizable. Grandma died of a heart attack upon hearing the news. My father investigated, but Chloe had covered her tracks. It wasn't until my father declared he would donate all his assets to charity upon his death that she revealed her true colors, attempting to kill him. But my father was prepared. He tortured her to death, avenging me. Watching my father surrender to the police, I cried uncontrollably. I thought that was the end, but I opened my eyes to find myself back before it all happened. Grandma's voice was icy: "You claimed to love Jane and would care for her forever, yet now she lies in the hospital, life uncertain! You must give me an explanation!" The familiar voice made me tremble. I opened my eyes to see Chloe kneeling before Grandma, weeping: "Madam, it's all my fault. I was negligent. I didn't know I was pregnant. I felt dizzy and missed the chance to grab Jane." "I don't dare ask for forgiveness, but please let me see Jane again." Grandma looked at her impatiently: "Jane survived a great disaster. Why should a jinx like you see her?" "Didn't you claim you couldn't get pregnant? How did you conceive now? Is it some wild seed?" The scene awakened my memories. This was the day Chloe pushed me off the balcony. Originally, Grandma wanted to banish Chloe abroad. But when I woke up, remembering only her kindness, I cried and screamed for Aunt Chloe. Remembering what followed, I looked at Grandma with innocent, confused eyes: "Who are you?" Chloe tensed upon hearing me speak, fearing I'd reveal the truth. But realizing my vacant stare and stutter, a bold idea formed in her mind. She squeezed out tears and rushed to my bed: "Jane! It's me! I'm your Aunt Chloe, don't you remember?" I looked at her puzzled, silent. 3 Just as Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, I spoke clearly: "Of course I remember you—" Chloe froze, trembling, forcing a bitter smile. Grandma glared at her, then turned to me gently: "Jane, the window is so high. Do you remember how you fell?" Sweat beaded on Chloe's forehead; she shook like a leaf. I pretended to think, and just as Chloe was about to bolt, I said: "I don't remember. I only know Aunt Chloe tried hard to catch me. I saw her fall and bleed. Boohoo, will Aunt Chloe die?" Chloe relaxed instantly, crying fake tears: "Even if I die for Jane, it doesn't matter. I only wish for Jane's health and happiness." In my past life, I only cared about Chloe and screamed at Grandma to go away. Grandma was hurt but hid in the shadows for my sake. This time, I didn't hurt Grandma. Instead, I hugged her tightly. Watching Chloe's performance, I scoffed internally. Exposing her directly was too boring. Lifting her high only to let her fall hard was the cruelest punishment. I wanted to see who was the better player. My father, negotiating a billion-dollar deal abroad, finally arrived by private jet. Seeing me lying weak in bed, he turned furiously to Chloe: "I just left this morning. How did Jane get hurt like this in less than five hours?" Chloe clutched her stomach, feigning weakness: "It was my negligence. I felt dizzy when I reached out to save Jane." She looked at my father expectantly, hoping he'd ask about her dizziness. 4 But my father frowned deeply: "You said you were capable of caring for Jane, so I let you live in the villa. Now you can't even hold a five-year-old? Should Jane take care of you instead?" Chloe looked hurt: "Listen to me, the doctor said I'm pre—" My father raised his hand, glaring at her: "You swore if Jane was hurt a little, you'd be hurt ten times more." Chloe turned pale: "Listen to m—Ah!" Before she could finish, my father's female secretary slapped her to the ground. Chloe was shocked: "Why did you hit me?!" She looked pitifully at my father, but he ignored her. His eyes were only on me, red with heartache. The secretary, who had secretly loved my father for ten years, had long wanted to deal with Chloe. This was clearly my father's order. Slap after slap rained down on Chloe until her beautiful face was swollen. Sharp nails left cat-like scratches. My father glanced coldly at Chloe: "This is a lesson. Next time, you won't need to stay in this world." Chloe trembled, remembering my father was a dominant figure in the gray zone. She seemed to be the only woman close to him, but she was just a high-class nanny for me. Hurting me was her biggest failure. My father checked my bruises and sighed in relief, unaware I had become a "fool." Chloe thought the slaps were punishment for my injury, unaware it was just an appetizer.
