After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots’ Beloved
Chapter 457: You Will Only Protect Me

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: You Will Only Protect Me

Bai Wei was completely stunned.

...What does it mean to become her?

Lu Sheng saw the shock and confusion in Bai Wei’s eyes and said, "You might not believe it, but this is actually my third lifetime."

"After I died in my first life, I opened my eyes and found myself reborn on the coast. While the kind soul who saved Bai Qiang went off to call for help, I left."

"I was reborn using Bai Qiang’s body, and at the same time, I inherited her memories and emotions."

Lu Sheng didn’t say she was a demon; the fewer people who knew about this, the better, so she just said she used another’s body to come back to life.

Compared to being a demon, using someone else’s body to be reborn, as commonly seen in novels, seems easier for people to accept.

But Lu Sheng’s words obviously shattered Bai Wei’s existing beliefs.

"Wait... are you saying, just like those rebirth novels, you lived a life, died, and then were reborn into my sister’s body for a second life, and now you’re living a third life in Lu Sheng’s body."

"So, actually, you’re not Lu Sheng either?"

Lu Sheng said, "You could say that. Perhaps there is some connection between my soul and theirs in the dark."

"Bai Qiang committed suicide by jumping into the sea; she had an obsession. And Lu Sheng was strangled to death just after arriving in Jiang City; she, too, had a strong obsession."

"Maybe it’s because they died with regrets and had a connection with me that I reincarnated into their bodies. At the same time, I want to fulfill their wishes for them."

"Bai Qiang’s obsession was to not live as she did before, wanting to escape the family and stay away from conflicts over interests, living a peaceful and free life. So for those ten years of being her, I lived freely in seclusion."

"Lu Sheng’s obsession was to have familial love, so after becoming her, I also gained the love of a stepmother and brothers, hoping to live a wonderful life for her."

"These things are my biggest secret, and apart from my beloved, I haven’t told anyone else. But I know that if I tell you, you won’t spread it."

Upon hearing Lu Sheng say these things, although Bai Wei was shocked, she surprisingly accepted it quickly.

Before coming, she investigated Lu Sheng, who, despite being under eighteen, had so many mysterious and top-level identities.

It was hard to believe she was just an ordinary illegitimate child raised in the countryside.

However, when Lu Sheng said she wasn’t worried about her telling others, Bai Wei couldn’t help but ask, "...Why? Aren’t you afraid I’ll report this to the relevant authorities? This is our first meeting, yet you trust me this much?"

Such a matter is simply beyond comprehension.

If told to the authorities, surely someone would come to capture Lu Sheng for study.

"I’m not afraid,"

Lu Sheng looked at her, "because I’m the only person in the world with Bai Qiang’s memories and emotions. Not only will you not harm me, but you will protect me and let me live well."

"Moreover, who said this is our first meeting? I’ve met you many times in Bai Qiang’s memories. I know you’re not a bad person; you cried when you stepped on an ant as a child."

...Met you many times in Bai Qiang’s memories.

Hearing this, Bai Wei’s eyes instantly reddened.

Hearing Lu Sheng mention her childhood, Bai Wei couldn’t help but feel even sadder.

She thought her sister had never paid her any attention, but in reality, her sister remembered such small things in her heart.

Mhm.

Indeed.

The girl in front of her is the only link between her and her sister, and her sister and this world.

Even if it cost her life, she couldn’t let anyone threaten her safety; she must protect her well.

"...You’re right. From now on, if you need my help with anything, you can contact me directly."

Bai Wei said, "Also, I hope we can stay in touch in the future. If I ask about my sister, I hope you can answer for her."

"Alright." Lu Sheng agreed.

Then she looked up, "...However, if it’s convenient, I do have a favor to ask of you."

Bai Wei asked, "What is it?"

"Do you know if any high society families in Beijing are hosting a banquet or party soon?" Lu Sheng asked.

"High society, huh?" Although she didn’t know what the girl intended, Bai Wei thought for a moment.

"Old Mr. Huo from the Huo Family is celebrating his sixtieth birthday in three days. The Huo Family is hosting a grand birthday banquet for him; I just received the invitation today."

The Huo Family.

Indeed one of the top high society families in Beijing.

And they have a good relationship with the Bai Family.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at Bai Wei, "If possible, I hope you can talk to the Huo Family and have them invite a few more people to the banquet."

"Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, that’s okay too."

"It’s just inviting a few more guests, what’s the difficulty in that? I’m quite familiar with Mrs. Huo; it’s just a word."

Bai Wei was a bit curious, "However, who do you want the Huo Family to additionally invite?"
