Lin Fangwei was terrified at first.
She had read about reincarnation in ancient novels.
She knew that those who could do this were different and would meet a tragic end if discovered.
Although she had inherited all of Li Fangwei’s memories and knew that Li Fangwei held a high status in the Li Family, the reason for Li Fangwei’s death, the opportunity for her reincarnation, was because she accidentally fell down the stairs from the second floor in the morning and was injured.
The Li Family members originally thought that Li Fangwei had only injured her arms and legs, but they didn’t know that her brain injury was the most severe.
Afraid of being exposed, Lin Fangwei, now in a body with no ailments, decided to feign illness.
This way, there would be fewer chances of being caught.
Lin Fangwei muddled through for a few days, facing no threats, and gradually becoming bolder.
She also began to see things in a new light.
She had lived for so long and read so many books, yet tales of reincarnation were only found in ancient novels.
She had never heard of it happening in real life.
This suggested that those who had reincarnated had never been exposed.
As long as she did not drink alcohol, thereby not creating opportunities for unintended truth-telling while intoxicated, she would never be exposed.
She began to slowly adopt the role of Li Fangwei.
Li Fangwei was easy to play.
She was eighteen this year, beautiful, healthy, naive and lively, an outstanding freshman in Clinical Medicine at Imperial University.
Professor Chen Nian was also the professor for Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue.
However, her relationship with Chen Nian was that of an official student and teacher, while Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci were temporary.
Li Fangwei had been smart since childhood, with a gentle personality, beloved by her parents, especially doted on by Li Family Head Li Feng.
To be Li Fangwei, all she had to do was study well and enjoy the love of her parents and family.
If Lin Fangwei had not coveted Shen Ci and simply been Li Fangwei, her prospects would have been very promising.
Unfortunately, her previous body had been weak, fond of Shen Ci, but powerless to act on it, always regretting it.
Now that she had a healthy body, with beauty, intelligence, wealth, and power within reach, Shen Ci was hers for the taking—how could she give up?
She decided to go all out to snatch Shen Ci back from Meng Chuyue’s hands.
Since she intended to establish a marriage alliance with Shen Ci, the relationship between the two families had to be harmonious.
Although Shen Ci had no plans to return to the Song Family, since he was willing to accept Song Ting, Song Family was his family, albeit not by blood.
Taking advantage of Shen Ci’s and Meng Chuyue’s absence, Lin Fangwei began to persuade Li Feng to reconcile with Song Ting. Of course, she wasn’t so blunt in her suggestion and instead urged Li Feng to buy medicinal materials from the Song Family, becoming business partners.
Li Feng was an honest man who had already wanted to befriend the equally honest Song Ting.
There had been no personal animosity between the two; the so-called disagreement was due to their fathers being archenemies in their lifetimes.
Now that both patriarchs were gone, and they were the heads of their families, it was within their power to reconcile, though they hadn’t found the opportunity nor could they shed their pride.
However, Lin Fangwei persuaded him saying, "Let’s go have a meal at the Medicinal Food Hall, it’s honestly Han Zheng’s place, and we have no old grudges against him, so going there isn’t shameful. Once we are there, if we act friendly towards Song Ting and he reciprocates, we can visit a few more times. Familiarity grows with more contact, and the rest will be easier to handle."
Li Feng hadn’t expected his youngest daughter to be so strategic, which filled him with even more joy.
He had always been concerned about his daughter’s naivety, but now he finally felt like a weight had been lifted from his heart.
Not to say that Li Feng was persuaded by Lin Fangwei, but even if he hadn’t been, to encourage his daughter, he would have agreed.
So the father and daughter went to the Medicinal Food Hall together.
Song Ting was startled to see the Li family father and daughter and was preparing to avoid them when Lin Fangwei ran over with a beaming smile and warmly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Song, may I ask when Shen Ci and Sister Chuyue will be back? Our professor has been mentioning them."
Although Li Fangwei was lively, it was only in front of acquaintances.
In front of strangers, she was reserved and dignified, certainly not as overly familiar as Lin Fangwei, acting as if she was an old friend upon first meeting.
