Rebirth Of Substitute

chapter 1

In her previous life, when Lisa was 16 years old, she was suddenly visited by a rich man who told her she was the young miss of the Lu family who lived in a different city. Little did she know that the purpose of her biological parents was just to find a heart for her sister who had a heart disease. The parents who she tried to please said, “When the operation is successful, we’ll directly announce that she suddenly died.”

The older brother she wanted to be close to said, “Don’t appear in front of me. Disgusting.”

Even the man she cared about most only regarded her as a substitute.

As for her beloved younger sister, Lucy Lu, she thought she was the only one who was good to her. Until the last moment, when she showed her true face.

It turns out that all along, she’s only been ridiculed, rejected, and hated.

Then she was reborn.

Now, she just wants to repay her adoptive parents, get revenge while she’s at it, and live her life well. Lisa, who had just been found, refused to leave with her biological parents. The Lu family tried everything, giving her houses and cars, then persuading, then coercing. Finally, they prepared to kidnap her by force.

But bodyguards in black descended from the sky and threw the them aside.

An old man showed up, looking calm and proud: “Who dares to touch anyone from my Yan family?”

Lisa was confused: “Who is this?”

The adoptive father looked sad: “My father.”

Only then did Lisa realize that her adoptive father turned out to be the richest man’s runaway son!

Her family is countless times richer than the Lu family!

chapter 2

The cold wind roared in through the unclosed windows, rolled up the white curtains, and took away most of the warmth in the basement.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the young woman on the bed shivered and slowly woke up from the anesthesia coma.

She opened her lips, but her dry throat only produced a strange, inarticulate tone.

The cold wind kept pouring in, and the young woman was shivering with cold.

I don't know how long it took before the closed door was opened from the outside. The man glanced condescendingly at the young woman on the bed, then walked slowly and closed the window. The cold wind was blocked out, and the young woman felt better.

She slowly turned her neck and stared at the man with her cloudy eyes, as if she wanted to say something. The man pulled up a chair and sat down slowly beside the young woman's bed.

"LISA," the man spoke slowly.

Lisa's eyes fluttered. She tried to sit up with her eyes wide open. After the anesthesia wore off, she shifted and felt a sudden twinge in her chest wound. Intense pain engulfed her instantly. Lisa's breathing quickened, and a clammy cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Sliding down, she managed to half-sit up before weakly and heavily falling back onto the bed.

From start to finish, the man sitting on the chair remained motionless, observing her with cold eyes as she struggled.

"Hoho——"

Lisa's throat emitted a heavy, wheezing sound, akin to an old windmill, which was particularly unpleasant to hear.

The man did not conceal the disgust in his eyes, treating Lisa as if she were a filthy object; he looked away.

When Lisa on the hospital bed lacked the strength to struggle further, he spoke slowly, "I didn't intend to say these words to you, but you can't endure today. Considering our past, I will tell you with great mercy."

"Your adoptive parents died in a car accident on their way to see you yesterday."

These words were like waking up a switch in Lisa. She ignored the bleeding wound and began to struggle like crazy. She stretched out her arm to grab the man's sleeve, but he easily dodged it.

The man stood up, took a step back, and continued: "But you don't need to worry. You should go and accompany them soon. Just this morning, the Lu family announced that Lucy has died. The cause of death was congenital heart disease. From now on, Lucy will take over your identity and live well in the Lu family. And you, as Lucy, will die for her."

"But this is your own fault. If you hadn't returned to Lu's house and taken away Lucy's love, she wouldn't have been depressed, and her condition wouldn't have worsened. You are Lucy's twin sister; your heart and hers are the best match. This is the only way to keep Lucy alive."

"Lisa, if you want to blame, blame yourself. It's all your fault."

Lisa's chest rose and fell violently; severe pain emanated from the unhealed wound on her left chest, and a fishy sweetness surged in her throat. Lisa's eyes turned black, and tears fell from her eyes.

She didn't know where she got the strength to sit up in one breath.

The man was startled. Just as he was about to scold Lisa, he saw Lisa falling to the ground like a kite with its string broken.

The equipment beside the bed was beeping like crazy. In the chaos, Lisa opened her eyes for the last time.

She opened her lips and finally let out a lament that only she could hear -

"But it was you who begged me to come back in the first place." A continuous "beep" sound came, and the electrocardiogram on the meter turned into a straight line without fluctuations. Lisa closed her eyes forever.

chapter 3

"Hey, Lisa, tell me quickly," the classmate patted Lisa's shoulder hard and leaned forward with a bit of gossip. "After you and your biological parents go back, are you going to change schools?"

Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her, Lisa was stunned for several seconds before blinking slowly.

"Who are you?"

Before the last word "who" was asked, Lisa took the lead in matching the face in front of her with the person in her memory.

This person is Zara, her deskmate in the second year of high school.

The past is still vivid in my mind.

Like a big dream, Lisa couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after waking up.

But the pain of the forearm-long anesthesia needle piercing her body was so real that Lisa couldn't believe it was just a dream.

"It's not a dream," Lisa shook her head firmly.

Everything is what really happened.

In just a few seconds, Lisa accepted this fact.

She was born again.

Reborn and returned to her sophomore year of high school.

A time when all tragedies had never happened.

Lisa couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up directly, turned around, and ran out of the classroom. The classmates in the self-study class were all shocked by her abnormal behavior and looked outside one after another.

Zara was stunned for several seconds before shouting loudly: "Lisa! School isn't over yet!" At this time, Lisa could no longer care about this. The memory came back to her, and she quickly connected everything that would happen today. Just today in her previous life, under the persuasion of her biological parents, she made a decision that she would regret for the rest of her life. She said goodbye to her adoptive parents who had raised her for sixteen years and returned to the Lu family with her biological parents. It was also from this important node that Lisa's life went into darkness. At the beginning, Lisa had not discovered the true face of this family. But as time went on, they slowly peeled away the hypocritical skin, and Lisa realized that what was waiting for her was never a warm and happy home, but a conspiracy that had been planned long ago.

Lisa is an outsider in the Lu family.

The Lu family's parents said to her: "Your surname is Yan, and our surname is Lu. We are not a family to begin with."

The eldest brother of the Lu family said: "Don't come in front of me to please me; it's an eyesore."

Even Lisa's favorite person told her: "You will never be as good as Lucy."

Everyone favored Lucy, and in the end, Lisa even exchanged her heart with Lucy.

As soon as the tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, they were swept away by the cold wind, which cut like a knife.

Lisa didn't remember how long she ran and finally reached the downstairs of their community.

There was a valuable luxury car parked at the door of the unit building. Samantha was holding Peter's arm, smiling and talking to the couple in front of them. Next to them, there were two huge suitcases.

Seeing those two thoughtful faces, the tip of Lisa's nose became even more sore, and she shouted without thinking: "Dad, Mom!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Samantha looked over immediately.

Seeing Lisa, she was surprised and happy: "Lisa, why are you back so early..."

Before she finished speaking, Lisa rushed into her arms like a small cannonball.

Samantha couldn't hide the surprise on her face, and Peter was even more confused.

Finn and Jade also cast doubtful glances at Lisa.

The couple looked at each other, and Jade put on a smile skillfully and asked, "Lisa, what's going on? Is it because you are too nervous to go back with us?"

Finn also laughed: "Lisa, although our family's conditions are not particularly good in City A, they are much better than this place. Don't worry, if you come back with us, you will never suffer and be aggrieved."

Jade also nodded in agreement.

Peter and Samantha's expressions changed at the same time when they heard this.

Lisa noticed that Samantha's body visibly stiffened.

After venting her emotions a little, Lisa gradually calmed down.

With this chance of rebirth, Lisa will not make the same mistakes again, let alone make her parents who raised her for sixteen years sad again.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lisa let go of Samantha.

Meeting Samantha's worried gaze, Lisa gave her a comforting smile.

She turned around and finally set her sights on Finn and Jade.

Finn and Jade both dressed up specially when they came today. Their bright and beautiful clothes seemed out of place in this old community. Seeing Lisa looking over, the couple smiled at her at the same time.

"The luggage has been packed for you. Since Lisa is also back, let's go now," Jade was already a little impatient, but she suppressed it well. She frowned slightly and soon relaxed.

Finn glanced at the two large suitcases, and disgust flashed in his eyes: "Actually, our house has prepared everything for you, so you don't need to bring so many things."

Furthermore, he felt the two large suitcases would make his car dirty.

Lisa calmly took in the microexpressions of the two people.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised that this couple actually acted so obviously.

Then why didn't my previous life realize it?

Lisa secretly tightened her fists, turned around, and picked up her suitcase.

"Let's go," Lisa said.

Jade was overjoyed and was about to ask Finn to help when she saw Lisa turn to Peter and said, "Dad, help me carry the other suitcase up."

As soon as these words came out, the four adults present were stunned.

Samantha looked at Lisa in disbelief: "Lisa?"

Peter was the first to react. He looked happy, walked quickly to Lisa, lifted the suitcase at Lisa's feet, and at the same time took the suitcase from Lisa's hand: "Give them all to me."

"Let's go back," Peter said to Lisa.

Lisa's eyes were a little red, and she nodded heavily: "Yes."

Jade and Finn hadn't figured out the sudden change yet, and they would definitely not let Lisa leave just like that, so they hurried forward to stop her.

"Lisa, what's wrong? Didn't you agree to come back with us?" Finn asked.

"I don't want to leave with you now," Lisa said. After saying this, she took Samantha's arm and went upstairs from the other side.

"How can that be done?" Jade became anxious on the spot. "Didn't we all agree? Why did you suddenly regret it?"

Finn still wanted to pursue her, but Peter stood in front of them.

He was half a head taller than Finn and had a burly figure, which just blocked the couple's sight.

"You two, please go back." Lisa had already left, and Peter could hardly hide his disgust towards the couple, staring down at them with contempt in his eyes.

Finn was blocked and clenched his teeth with anger. He glared at Peter angrily: "Mr. Peter, what do you mean? After learning that she was going home with us today, many media came over. You won’t regret it in front of the media, right?"

Peter laughed when he heard this, his deep eyes full of mockery: "Lisa is the child legally adopted by my wife and me. Even if we really regret it, it is legal and reasonable. What can you do?"

After saying these words, Peter left without looking back.

Seeing Peter's back disappearing into the corridor, Jade was furious, but somewhat helpless. After all, Peter was right; they did not have custody rights over Lisa.

But if Lisa doesn't go home with them, what will happen to Lucy?

Jade became a little anxious when she thought of this. She turned her head and looked at Finn: "What should we do now? Aren't we going to catch up?"

Finn thought of Peter's arrogant attitude towards him just now, and he became angry: "What are you chasing after? Don't you see that they don't want to see us?"

Who is he, Peter, who dares to talk to him in that tone?

"Then we can't just let it go like this!" Jade lowered her voice, "Lucy's illness can't be delayed for long. If we don't make a match earlier..."

When Lucy was mentioned, Finn's expression softened slightly.

He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a solution later."

A whistle sounded from the street not far away. Finn looked from a distance and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why he was willing to have a good talk with Peter and Samantha before was to some extent that he took Lisa into consideration, but now that the couple didn't give them any face and brainwashed Lisa behind their backs, don't blame them for not caring about their friendship.

...

Lisa had mixed feelings in her heart when she stepped into the home where she had lived for sixteen years again after so many years.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar home, the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel sour. Peter followed Lisa through the door. After entering, he put down the two large suitcases and then looked at Samantha aside.

Samantha understood what he meant and pulled Lisa to sit down on the sofa. She poured her a glass of water first, and then asked gently: "Lisa, what are you thinking now? You really don't want to go back with your biological parents. Already?"

Lisa was still immersed in her own emotions, and she came back to her senses only after hearing Sam's words.

When she first learned that her adoptive parents were not her biological parents in her previous life, it took Lisa several days to accept this fact.

At first, when the family's parents asked her to return to the family, Lisa refused directly.

She was reluctant to leave her adoptive parents who had raised her for sixteen years and was unwilling to leave them.

But the family was more persistent than Lisa imagined.

They first worked for Lisa's adoptive parents, and then started to break through Lisa's classmates and friends one by one. They even asked local media to report the matter. The couple stood in front of the media and cried bitterly. Netizens in the comment area were moved. They all spontaneously spoke for them.

For a time, the family couple stood at the commanding heights of public opinion. Everyone hoped that Lisa could return to her biological parents. Even Peter and Samantha began to hesitate as to whether it was inappropriate to keep Lisa with them.

How sensitive are adolescent children?

The parents hesitated a little, and Lisa misunderstood.

She thought for a long time before finally relenting and agreeing to go back and live with her parents for a while. But at that time, did Samantha and Peter really want her to return to that family?

Lisa clenched the water glass and looked at Samantha with red eyes. There was a hint of grievance in her voice that she had not noticed before: "Mom."

She looked at Peter again: "Dad, do you want me to go back?"

Lisa never asked this question in her previous life.

Adolescent children are very self-righteous and think that what they see is the truth.

This time, as soon as Lisa finished speaking, Samantha's eyes turned red.

When she first got married to Peter, she was in poor health. After the examination, the doctor advised her not to get pregnant, so the couple planned to go to an orphanage to adopt a child.

When they first went to the orphanage, the director told them that a child had just been delivered two days ago. She was only one month old. She was a little thin but healthy and fully met their requirements. He asked them if they wanted to go and have a look. That was the first time Samantha met Lisa.

The swaddled baby was sleeping soundly; its facial features had not yet opened, its skin was red, and it looked a little malnourished. It was thin and small but very cute.

Samantha only took one look and fell in love with this child from the bottom of her heart.

After returning home, Samantha and Peter began to prepare everything needed for the one-month-old baby, such as a crib, milk powder, bottles, diapers, etc.

The pair of new parents were fully prepared before nervously taking the prepared materials to the welfare home to pick up their child.

It rained lightly in the morning when I took Lisa home, and the sky was dark.

When the dean handed the child over to Samantha, the sky just cleared up.

A touch of golden color penetrates the thick clouds and reflects on the earth.
