…
Half an hour later…
Xiang Yi finally realized who this feather duster—oh no, this man with colorful hair—was. Turns out, it was her manager, Ah Nan.
A year ago, she had been in a car accident. When she woke up, she was bound to a system just like the ones mentioned in various web novels, and thus began her fast time-traveling career.
Today was the day she concluded her missions, and the day she returned to earth.
But contrary to Xiang Yi’s expectations, her body had been not in a vegetative state or in a state of coma… Instead, it had been inhabited by someone else for a year.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, the girl in front of her appeared to be overly skinny, dressed in a sweet girl group style crop top and a red checkered skirt, revealing a pair of pin-straight legs and a fair, slender waist.
Her hair was tied up into pigtails and adorned with numerous tacky bows, hair clips, and barrettes that were currently trendy on the internet.
The countless time-traveling experiences through different worlds made it easy for Xiang Yi to quickly adapt, but facing this person with a head full of hair clips, she showed a dazed expression, a very rare occurrence in her lifetime.
After she took out a barrette, her face crinkled with pain.
"Uwuuu…" Ah Nan was still clutching a tissue box as he cried. "My sweet dear, you’ve lost your memory! What are we going to do?"
Xiang Yi pointed at her hair clip and said, "Help me take these out, thanks."
Ah Nan followed the order. His hands were nimble, and his actions were swift and light.
He didn’t realize how much of a bully Xiang Yi had previously been, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In front of her bosses, she was a coward; but in front of her driver and her maid, she was beyond arrogant.
Before, he would only listen to her out of habit; but now, he couldn’t help but truly surrender.
Xiang Yi asked, "How much will it cost to cancel the contract I signed?"
Ah Nan continued to cry as he took out the hair clips; he was a multitasking master. "My sweet girl, if you end the contract, you’ll owe them one billion dollars! My
Xiang Yi:???
‘Was the person who had inhabited her body an idiot? How could she sign such an unfair contract?’
‘Where was your brain? Haven’t you used one before?!’
Ah Nan, who was taking out the elastics and hair clips from her hair and even helped in combing out her frizzy hair, advised:
"Sweetie, the company’s terms for you are considerably good, except for the termination clause. If our dear works hard every month, she can buy her favorite purse! Let’s not think about cancelling the contract, okay? Where else are you going to get this much money?"
Xiang Yi calculated how much she had in liquid capital, other finances, and real estate. She sighed. "Yeah. Still missing a bit."
She only had ninety million or so.
Ah Nan did not take her words into consideration. Even if he were drunk on fake wine, he wouldn’t believe that Xiang Yi had the means to pull out a billion dollars.
"Sweetheart, I’ll run the hot water and you go take a lovely little bath. Remember to post a few selfies afterwards to signal your business…" Ah Nan continued to rattle on as he headed into the bathroom. Just then, the doorbell rang. He suspiciously looked through the fish-eye lens. Realizing it was Xiang Yi’s boyfriend, he then let him in.
"Mr. Xiao, you came to check on our sweetheart…" Ah Nan forced a smile, but when he saw a meek-looking girl hiding behind Xiao Yang, his expression changed.
Xiao Yang was holding her hand, whispering in reassurance, "Don’t be scared, your husband will break up with that stupid woman right now!"
"Mhmm, Ah Yang gege is the best!"
Ah Nan exploded. "Xiao Yang, you are shameless! My sweetheart is so good to you, and you dare to cheat on her!"
"You sissy, what right do you have to speak to me?" Xiao Yang rudely said to him as he rolled his eyes. He then arrogantly said, "Hey, I’m here to break…"
He suddenly choked up.
The meek girl looked toward his gaze and couldn’t help but freeze as well.
The stupid woman with the last name Xiang… Has she always been this pretty?!
