Yu Bei's expression was a little stiff, but he quickly recovered. "Miao Miao, I didn't want to come find you, but my mother is sick now, and she just wants to see you."
Fang Miao Miao tilted her head slightly. "What, does she know she's done too many wicked things in her family, and she's afraid of going to see her sister?"
Yu Bei looked at Fang Miao Miao displeasantly. "Aren't you speaking a bit too harshly?"
"Am I?" Fang Miao Miao blinked. "I have even harsher words. Do you want to hear them?"
"Compared to Yan Huan, you are not obedient at all, not like an elder aunt."
"Stop right there." Fang Miao Miao quickly interrupted, saying impatiently, "So, being obedient means being willing to do all the work and be bullied by you, otherwise you're disobedient. Then you're right, I'm disobedient, and I don't need to listen to you. Don't flatter yourself. You're just scum, and you really think that because Wen Zhiyan let you in, you can stand on my shoulders and be arrogant towards me, right?"
Wen Zhiyan looked at Fang Miao Miao dotingly. "Good girl, don't be angry."
"Shut up." Fang Miao Miao glared at Wen Zhiyan irritably. "Tell me, why did you let him in?"
Wen Zhiyan shrugged. "I didn't want to either, but he said he has some of your mother's belongings and wants to give them to you in person."
After all, they were the original owner's things, and neither of them had the right to refuse.
Fang Miao Miao then looked at Yu Bei with suspicion. "Where are the things?"
Yu Bei didn't know what to say.
Fang Miao Miao narrowed her eyes slightly. "You're not lying to me, are you? Or do you want to use my mother's belongings as a bargaining chip?"
Hearing this, Yu Bei was immediately unhappy. "Fang Miao Miao, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Oh, not much of a person."
In any case, it had nothing to do with her.
Yu Bei was choked with anger and finally handed over a small box, placing it on the coffee table. "This is from Mom. She said it's the only thing Aunt has. We know Father is not a good person, but what could we do? We needed him to survive."
Fang Miao Miao looked at the slightly old wooden box on the coffee table without speaking.
"This is the last time we'll meet. Don't worry, I won't bother you again. Goodbye."
After Yu Bei finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Fang Miao Miao looked at Wen Zhiyan. "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Wen Zhiyan shook his head. "No, it's just that what you said just now made him unable to save face, and he was too embarrassed to ask you for money."
Fang Miao Miao hesitated. "What kind of illness does that person have?"
"I asked Xin Xuan to check. Stomach cancer, late stage."
She could only lie in bed now, surviving on nutritional fluid.
Fang Miao Miao looked at the small wooden box and stopped speaking.
"Want to see her?"
Fang Miao Miao shook her head. "Forget it. Let's go see the original owner's parents, and bury this little wooden box."
"Okay."
Wen Zhiyan hugged her tightly.
"But," Fang Miao Miao hesitated again, "Is it a bit immoral for me to visit the original owner's parents like this, occupying her body?"
"How can it be? First, their child is living very happily in your world. Second, they didn't interact much with the original owner. You could have ignored them. But you're acting out of humanitarianism by visiting them and telling them that the original owner's life is already very good."
"I was too fixated just now."
"It's okay." Wen Zhiyan stroked Fang Miao Miao's head and said, "Shall we go now?"
"Okay."
The two drove to the cemetery.
The graves of the original owner's biological parents were arranged in the uppermost area of the cemetery.
Fang Miao Miao placed a chrysanthemum on the tombstone, looked at the smiling faces of the two, and bowed.
"Hello to you both. I'm so sorry I'm only visiting you now."
Wen Zhiyan walked to the side, leaving Fang Miao Miao and the original owner's parents some time alone.
"At first, I was struggling, or more accurately, I was scared. I was afraid you would think I had taken over your daughter's body, because I had that thought myself at first. I thought that because of my arrival, the original owner had disappeared, and at that time, I felt like a sinner."
"Until your precious daughter kept appearing in my dreams, telling me a lot of things." Fang Miao Miao said sheepishly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, but when the original Miao Miao entered my dreams, I still felt guilty and wondered if I could switch bodies back."
A gentle breeze blew, as if a pair of soft hands were caressing Fang Miao Miao's face.
"But please don't worry, Miao Miao is living very well in another world." Fang Miao Miao bowed again. "When I have time, I will visit you more often."
Fang Miao Miao continued to talk for a long time before turning to leave.
"Why are your eyes red?" Wen Zhiyan took out a wet wipe and gently wiped away the tears from Fang Miao Miao's eyes. "Missing Grandma?"
Fang Miao Miao nodded and shook her head.
"Then shall we go play?"
Fang Miao Miao shook her head. "No, don't think I don't know you've been quite busy these past few days, and I also need to go back to the studio to prepare my manuscripts."
"What manuscripts?"
"I forgot to tell you yesterday, Sister Nian said I've been nominated for the Golden Palm Awards."
"Miao Miao, you're amazing."
"It's just a nomination, the probability of winning shouldn't be high." Fang Miao Miao said regretfully. "But I think it's great. You know, back then, movies with this kind of theme by Director Chen usually didn't make any waves."
"How so?"
"Because the director's execution wasn't very good, and people might not have understood the zombie theme. The audience was very small, and the awards tended to favor traditional themes, among other reasons."
So, when she heard Sister Nian say she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, she was truly surprised.
"Director Chen's filming techniques and storytelling are quite good, and what's more, our Miao Miao's performance was excellent."
Hearing this, Fang Miao Miao looked at Wen Zhiyan, who was driving, with interest. "Isn't this a case of 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?"
"Miao Miao, you have to believe in yourself. You're really great."
Fang Miao Miao raised an eyebrow. "I'm just teasing you. I also think I acted well in that film."
It was a breakthrough in a new type of villain role.
"Then, shall we go out to eat later to celebrate your nomination in advance?"
"Okay."
Fang Miao Miao said with a smile.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Shouldn't you be the one deciding this?"
Wen Zhiyan nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, then I'll take charge of Miao Miao's time today. After dinner, we'll go to Zhou Zhou's studio to pick out an outfit for you to wear to the awards ceremony. Even if we don't win, we must look beautiful when we go up."
Fang Miao Miao smiled and nodded. "Okay, okay, then I'll rely on you and Zhou Zhou."
