Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 49 The Truth About the Switched Babies
After all, judging from the investigation results, this life misalignment that lasted for eighteen years was not a carefully planned conspiracy, but a purely absurd accident.
Eighteen years ago, the sound of crying echoed through the corridor of the delivery room at Quling Central Hospital.
The youngest daughter of the Qian family, a top-tier wealthy family in Quling City, and the family's only beloved daughter, was born. She should have been named Qian Yutang, but now that name belongs to someone else, and she must be called Qian Zhixia.
Coincidentally, at the same time and in the same hospital, another family with the same surname, Qian, also welcomed a new life. The daughter of that family was the real Qian Yutang, and also the only child of that family.
The incident occurred shortly after the newborn's birth when a violent medical dispute suddenly broke out, with the noise of arguments and smashing instantly engulfing the area around the nursery.
The nurse in charge of caring for the newborns was terrified and, in her haste, mixed up the two babies in their swaddling clothes. This mistake would last for eighteen years, directly rewriting the life trajectories of the two girls.
In fact, Qian Yutang's real biological parents, although from ordinary families, were both educators who were well-off and lived a stable and affluent life.
However, these words seem insignificant when compared to the Qian family, a top-tier wealthy family. After all, the Qian family is a genuine first-class wealthy family in Quling City, with immense power and overwhelming wealth.
Despite the vast difference in their family backgrounds, Qian Yutang's biological parents (who were also Qian Zhixia's adoptive parents for the past eighteen years) have always doted on their adopted daughter, Qian Zhixia, and have never wronged her in the slightest.
Therefore, in this case of mistaken identity, no one is at fault; both families and the two girls who were switched are all innocent victims.
After being recognized by the Qian family, Qian Zhixia, with her gentle nature, never resented Qian Yutang for "stealing" the life of a wealthy family that she should have had. On the contrary, she felt a deep sense of regret for this mismatched fate.
The Qian family will never know that Qian Yutang unexpectedly awakened her past life memories during that car accident. Those memories were from another world, the complete memories of her as the founder of the Taoist sect!
In addition, she was already tired of the Qian family's formalities, so on the day she was discharged from the hospital, she declined the Qian family's offer to stay and insisted on returning to the old house left by her biological parents to live alone.
That's right. Qian Yutang's biological parents died in an accident a few years ago. Now she is all alone. Fortunately, her parents left her a house paid for in full and an inheritance that, while not a huge sum, is enough for her to live a stable life, so that she won't end up on the streets.
She wanted to leave the Qian family not because they treated her badly. On the contrary, she had lived a very comfortable life for 18 years in the Qian family, but the dense rules were like an invisible net that trapped her for 18 years. She lived cautiously within those rules for 18 years, and she didn't want to endure that suffocating feeling for another day.
"What's the next step?"
Qian Yutang refused to let the Qian family driver take her. Instead, she walked for more than three hours to reach the old house left by her biological parents.
Qian Zhixia had been living here before, and the house was kept spotless, without a speck of dust, saving her the trouble of cleaning.
She slumped onto the living room sofa, the soft touch dispelling some of her fatigue, but her eyes gradually deepened as she fell into deep thought.
She's only eighteen and a senior in high school. Although Qian Zhixia has used part of the inheritance left by her parents, the remaining money is more than enough to support her through high school and cover her tuition and living expenses for the first two years of college. But what about after two years? She can't just sit around and do nothing; she has to find a way to earn money herself.
This is the problem that's giving her the biggest headache right now.
"Forget it, going back to my old job is the easiest." Qian Yutang gently curled the corners of her lips, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. "But it won't be as hard as in my previous life, setting up a small stall on the street and being exposed to the wind and sun. The technology in this world is advanced, and taking orders through live streaming is more convenient and efficient."
She reluctantly admitted that although her high school grades were not bad, they were by no means top-notch. The knowledge in the textbooks could not be put into practice in the short term. Right now, the only thing she could rely on was the lifelong learning she had acquired as the founder of the Taoist sect.
Exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, fortune telling, face reading, and feng shui were all her skills for making a living in her previous life.
Although she vaguely sensed that the spiritual energy in this world was thin and that there seemed to be no real ghosts or monsters, her skills in fortune telling, exorcising evil spirits, and adjusting feng shui were still effective.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Haishi anytime soon." Qian Yutang shook her head gently, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. "According to my deductions, Haishi is the center of destiny in this world, and the so-called 'Child of Destiny' should be there."
She is currently a senior in high school. She had to take a break from her studies due to a car accident and had fallen behind in her studies. Now that she has recovered, it is time for her to go back to school. Naturally, she cannot just go to Haishi to join in the fun whenever she wants.
……
Far away in Haishi, Luo Lingtian was completely unaware of this. He had no idea that a female-oriented big shot had already awakened her past life memories.
After a busy day in the underground laboratory, Luo Lingtian returned to his villa. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only a little past four in the afternoon, still a long time before dinner.
He shed his weariness, leaned lazily against the sofa in the living room, and casually put his arm around Qin Qingcheng beside him, watching the currently popular urban drama with her.
"Why are you back so early today?" Qin Qingcheng turned her head, her gaze gently falling on his face. Her fingertips lightly brushed across his slightly tired brows and eyes, and she glanced at the designer watch on his wrist, her tone tinged with surprise. At this time of day, he would usually be busy in the laboratory, barely having time to breathe.
"We eliminated some unnecessary research projects, and the remaining core projects were completed ahead of schedule, so we naturally came back." Luo Lingtian curled his lips into a lazy smile, his voice slightly hoarse, yet exceptionally pleasant to hear.
He knew perfectly well that his proficiency system had a daily limit on the amount of experience points he could gain. Rather than wasting time on unimportant projects, he should focus on mastering the core areas.
Moreover, he doesn't like to push himself too hard. Spending all day and night in the lab is too boring, and just thinking about it makes him feel suffocated.
Moreover, because of the proficiency system, there is no upper limit to his skill level, and his knowledge is endless.
Since that's the case, why not make life a little easier? That's why he was able to take some time out of his busy schedule to go fishing with Mo Yu by the lake.
This isn't one of those perilous fantasy or cultivation worlds where destruction is a constant threat. There's no need to be on edge all the time, focusing solely on raising your knowledge level.
Of course, martial arts are an exception. Firstly, practicing martial arts doesn't take much time each day; secondly, it's always good to strengthen your body. In any world, having a strong physique is the foundation for survival.
Finally, and most importantly, this world may seem peaceful, but it is actually full of hidden dangers and is not absolutely safe. Only when you are strong enough can you truly enjoy life with peace of mind.
If I were to face off against a certain "protagonist" in the future, and that person were unruly, I wouldn't be forced to passively take a beating or even die a humiliating death.
"I see." Qin Qingcheng nodded, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she softly suggested, "There's an auction in a few days, would you like to go check it out?"
"An auction?" Luo Lingtian raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with interest. "The one hosted by the Li family's auction house?"
"Yes, it's theirs." Qin Qingcheng nodded with a smile, her eyes almost overflowing with tenderness.
"Sure, let's go and join the fun together." Luo Lingtian agreed with great interest, gently rubbing his chin with his fingertips, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
If he remembered correctly, the Li family was the richest family in the neighboring city. The surname "Li" sounded very familiar to him.
Oh right, in those melodramatic novels about real and fake heiresses, the surname "Li" is practically the exclusive surname of the protagonist or the villain! Thinking about it that way, it's not so strange after all.
He suddenly remembered that Lin Xuanxuan, the fake heiress of the Lin family, seemed to like a man whose surname was also Li.
Luo Lingtian's eyes gradually became playful: According to the normal plot of the real and fake heiresses, Lin Ruoxue was drugged that day and most likely accidentally entered the room of Li Shiheng, the current head of the Li family.
What follows is nothing more than a drunken affair, culminating in a fait accompli, followed by Lin Ruoxue marrying into the Li family. With Li Shiheng's support, she turns the tables on Lin Xuanxuan's provocations, and with Li Tingchuan's various self-delusions, a melodramatic counterattack story unfolds.
They're all old, tired tricks.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Lin Ruoxue accidentally wandered into Yun Tian's room that day, and now she's his fiancée. As a result, Li Shiheng has completely lost his chance.
So here's the question: in which direction will this "plot" of the Lin family's real and fake heiresses develop?
Thinking of this, a gleam of interest flashed in Luo Lingtian's eyes, and his curiosity grew even stronger.
Luo Lingtian still had some impression of Li Shiheng. After all, in terms of wealth, under Li Shiheng's management, the Li family's wealth was even greater than his own.
Of course, this is not a good comparison, because in reality, the annual revenue of Longteng Technology, a series of industrial chains under Luo Lingtian, is no less than that of the Li family, but a large part of it is invested in the research department.
This resulted in their remaining wealth being far less than that of the Li family.
However, in recent years, the Li family has also begun to venture into the technology industry, which has led to a gradual decline in their wealth, bringing it to roughly the same level as Luo Lingtian's.
In this world, there are countless richest people, and perhaps these richest people are the richest people in some fictional world.
However, in the context of this comprehensive world, the wealth of these so-called richest people is roughly the same, so no one is vying for the title of the world's richest person.
Because today the Li family might be the richest, but tomorrow it could be the Fu family; the variables are too great, and it's meaningless.
