The Almighty Diva: Reborn to be Worshipped

"The patient has been unconscious for two days with a relentless high fever. If she doesn't come to and the fever doesn't subside by tonight, madam, you may have to face the inevitable."

"What!" Zhou Ru's brow momentarily knitted in displeasure as she cast a glance at the girl on the bed.

Then she shook her head, her voice cold, "In that case, send her to the hospital. Make arrangements for the mortuary just in case."

Even if she were to pass away, it couldn't happen in the Wen family's room; that would be unlucky.

The doctor had no objections. Seeing that the IV drip was almost finished, he intended to remove the needle. As he touched the girl's hand, he noticed that her previously burning-hot temperature had suddenly cooled down.

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and then found himself sprawled on the floor, letting out a scream.

The girl, who had been lying unconscious, spoke in a hoarse voice, "Don't touch me."

Zhou Ru and the family doctor were both stunned.

Ji Chuxing raised her hand to rub her forehead. Her memory was still stuck at the moment of the lab explosion when she was hit by a powerful blast. The headache was overwhelming.

She looked up at the ceiling, catching a whiff of the medicinal smell. Another set of unfamiliar memories flooded her mind.

"This is the Wen family, not the Ji family. Remember, you are only staying here. Don't have any delusions. Even though Xinyue and Xiaoyang call you sister, Xinyue is the true young mistress of the Wen family. You must never compete with her. Otherwise, if you offend Uncle Wen, he will send you back to the countryside."

"Xiaoyang is your younger brother. You must let him have his way. What? He bullied you? Who taught you to slander others at such a young age? Xiaoyang is so well-behaved and obedient; how could he possibly bully you?"

"Look at your poor grades. Do you really think you can participate in art competitions? I brought you back from the countryside with great difficulty. Don't embarrass me in public."

...

One by one, these unfamiliar memories and hurtful words flashed through her mind like a movie, finally settling on the image of a girl leaping from a high building with eyes full of despair.

Countless memories rushed through Ji Chuxing's mind, but it all happened in just two or three seconds.

She confirmed that she had been reborn, from the most perfect creation in a laboratory in another world, a top researcher known as a "Tech Genius" and "Medical Genius," into this world as the same-named and same-sex girl, Ji Chuxing. She now knew the fate of this girl's life.

It was an extraordinary thing. Ji Chuxing lay on the bed, dazed, feeling the residual emotions of the original body.

Zhou Ru was still in shock that her daughter had suddenly woken up. The family doctor, who had inexplicably fallen to the ground, stood up, fuming, "You dared to kick me!"

Indeed, his abdomen had been kicked by Ji Chuxing, so fast that even Zhou Ru didn't see it.

Ji Chuxing maintained her flat, empty posture, not even glancing at him, "I told you not to touch me."

She wanted to go back to sleep, but that seemed impossible now. She deftly pulled the needle out of her hand.

Hmph! Such inferior medical techniques.

Dr. Sun was the Wen family's family doctor and a descendant of a renowned medical family in Nan City, holding a high social status. Even the head of the Wen family, Wen Huayang, treated him with respect. How could he tolerate such rudeness from a girl? He snorted, "As expected of someone from the countryside, no manners at all. You can't compare to Miss Wen. Do you think anyone can hire me to treat them?"

Zhou Ru had also recovered from her shock. She was Wen Huayang's wife, the lady of the Wen family. Though she might act differently in front of her daughter, she always maintained her image in front of others.

Looking at the girl on the bed, she frowned, "Chuxing, why are you being so unreasonable? Dr. Sun has been treating you for two days. Now that you've finally woken up, instead of being grateful, you're being disrespectful. How did I raise you?"

Turning to Dr. Sun, she apologized politely, "I'm truly sorry, Dr. Sun. Chuxing just woke up, and her temper is a bit off. Please be understanding."

It was a principle not to offend doctors.

Dr. Sun's ego swelled at Zhou Ru's apology. He lifted his chin, "An apology isn't necessary, but if I may be frank, with her attitude, she'll only cause trouble for you in the future. I'm the Wen family's doctor, and I only treated her out of respect for you and Mr. Wen."

Zhou Ru continued, "It's Chuxing's blessing to have you."

Lying on the bed, Ji Chuxing listened to their exchange and turned to Zhou Ru, asking innocently, "Would you like this blessing?"

She sneered, looking at the family doctor, "A doctor who sends people to the morgue. Hmph, quite a special skill."

"You!" Dr. Sun, a renowned doctor in Nan City, respected even by important figures, was infuriated by Ji Chuxing's insult. Just as he was about to retort, he saw that despite her pale, sickly complexion, her clear, piercing eyes held a commanding presence that made him hesitate. A strange feeling passed through him, but he quickly dismissed it.

He said coldly, "Since Miss Ji doesn't need me, find someone else!"

With that, he grabbed his medical bag and left. He couldn't stand being disrespected by a little girl, thinking she was some kind of miracle worker.

Seeing Dr. Sun so angry, Zhou Ru quickly stood up, "Dr. Sun, Dr. Sun!"

But Dr. Sun had already gone downstairs. Zhou Ru had no choice but to tell the housekeeper, "Wen Nainai, please see Dr. Sun off and apologize on my behalf."

When she returned to Ji Chuxing's room, Ji Chuxing was already up, "Hmph! What kind of quack can't even handle a simple fever!"

Zhou Ru frowned. Without outsiders around, she didn't need to show Ji Chuxing any kindness. This daughter was the biggest mistake in her otherwise perfect life.

"What is wrong with you? How can you speak to Dr. Sun like that? I've told you countless times to change your country bumpkin ways. This is Nan City, not the countryside. Hasn't anyone taught you better?"

Ji Chuxing packed her bag, turned, and looked at Zhou Ru, "I grew up without parents. No one ever taught me how to be polite to quacks."

"You!"

Ji Chuxing's father, Ji Jinzhong, had disappeared when she was four, later declared dead by the police. Zhou Ru couldn't bear the poverty and left, abandoning her child.

Especially since Ji Jinzhong was a poor doctor who often spent his own money to treat patients. After he was declared dead, she left without hesitation.

Soon after, she met Wen Huaming, a wealthy businessman in Nan City, and married him. She became the stepmother to the real young mistress, Xinyue, and now had a child with him, Lihyang.

The original body's illness was linked to Wen Lihyang.

Wen Lihyang had pushed her into the Wen family's swimming pool, causing her to drown and fall into a coma. Over the past two days, while she was unconscious, he had come in secretly and pinched her neck and arms.

That was the moment she had crossed over and been reborn.

How wicked it was, and Zhou Ru didn't bother to investigate, simply assuming that the original body couldn't swim and had gotten into trouble playing in the pool.

As for the four-year-old Ji Chuxing, she had been left in the countryside by Zhou Ru, living with her grandfather. Six months ago, her grandfather passed away, worried about leaving his granddaughter alone. He had managed to contact Zhou Ru, inadvertently revealing to the wealthy elite in Nan City that Zhou Ru had a daughter in the countryside. Out of pride, Zhou Ru had to bring Ji Chuxing back, putting on a show.

Her grandfather had always cared for her. If he knew what the original body had endured in the Wen family, he would be turning in his grave.

Grandfather was the person who loved the original body the most in the world.

Although Zhou Ru had left when Ji Chuxing was four, she was still her mother. Ji Chuxing's words were like a curse, and Zhou Ru, enraged, raised her hand to slap her.

"Who taught you to talk like that!"

But before her hand could land, Ji Chuxing grabbed her wrist, "Don't. This is your last chance."

From now on, she wouldn't give Zhou Ru any more chances. For her own sake and for the original Ji Chuxing.

The original body's last wish was to have never had such a mother.

Zhou Ru was shocked that the seemingly frail girl had such strength to grab her wrist. Her thin, pale wrist, with visible blue veins and bruises, was now firmly in Ji Chuxing's grip.

But the humiliation of being restrained overshadowed everything, "Ji Chuxing, I am your mother!"

"Mother?" Ji Chuxing sneered, "Do you deserve the title? Did you ever take care of me? Before I was four, my father took care of me. After that, it was my grandfather. Did you ever fulfill your duties as a mother?"

This was the truth, but Zhou Ru couldn't accept it. She was furious, "If you dare to treat me like this, never come back to the Wen family. Get out!"

Ji Chuxing's face remained expressionless, "Rest assured, even if you begged me to stay, I wouldn't."

This wasn't her home, and she had no reason to stay.

Zhou Ru, pushed onto the bed, felt both angry and amused. Beg her? Why would she?

A helpless country girl, how could she survive in Nan City without the Wen family?

What a naive thought, that she would beg her to come back!
