After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

Chapter 153 This child has a hard life

"Grandma, I know you mean well..." Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "But matters of the heart can't be forced. Qin Reng and I, we..."

“We’re not a good match.” Qin Reng suddenly looked up, interrupting Yu Yuetong.

He stood up, walked to Yu Yuetong, his deep eyes locked on hers, and said, word by word, "Grandma, you don't need to persuade her anymore. I am not good enough for her."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

"Aren!" Old Madam Qin called out urgently, but she couldn't stop Qin Ren from walking.

"Qin Reng!" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but call out.

Qin Reng paused, but did not turn around, leaving behind only a cold and piercing statement: "From now on, we will go our separate ways."

The ward door slammed shut, leaving the people inside looking at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Yuetong stood there blankly, Qin Reng's last words echoing in her mind. Her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Is this the end for her and Qin Reng?

Yu Yuetong felt as if she were being roasted over a fire. Everyone in the ward had their eyes on her, like searchlights, eager to dig out all the secrets in her heart. Han Shuang's anger, Old Madam Qin's disappointment, and Qin Reng's lonely figure were like needles pricking her heart.

"Grandma, Auntie, please don't be angry. This matter..." Yu Yuetong took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Actually, it's all my fault."

Upon hearing this, Han Shuang's anger flared even more: "How dare you say that? You..."

"Ah Shuang!" Old Madam Qin interrupted her again, "Let Yue Tong finish what she has to say."

Yu Yuetong glanced gratefully at Old Madam Qin and continued, "Grandma, Auntie, I know you're all doing this for my own good, but matters of the heart can't be forced. Qin Reng and I, we..." She bit her lip, steeling her resolve, "...we simply..."

Before he could even utter the words "I haven't slept with you," he was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Who is it?" Han Shuang asked irritably.

"It's me." A clear female voice came from outside the door.

The door opened, and a young girl in a white dress with long, flowing hair walked in. Seeing everyone in the room, she gave a sweet smile: "Grandma, Auntie, you're all here."

"Mo Mo, what brings you here?" Old Madam Qin smiled kindly when she saw the visitor.

Ji Momo walked to Old Madam Qin's side, affectionately took her arm, and sweetly called out, "Grandma." Then, she looked at Yu Yuetong, but her smile faded slightly: "And this is?"

"This is..." Han Shuang was about to introduce her when she was stopped by Old Madam Qin.

"This is Yuetong, Aren's wife," Old Madam Qin said calmly.

"Wife?" Ji Momo's smile vanished instantly. She looked at Yu Yuetong in disbelief, then at the direction Qin Reng had left in, her voice shrill, "Grandma, what are you saying? Brother Reng's wife, shouldn't she..."

"MoMo!" Old Madam Qin interrupted her sternly, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Ji Momo was startled by Old Madam Qin's sudden reprimand. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she bit her lip pitifully, looking like she was about to cry.

Looking at the scene before her, Yu Yuetong suddenly felt a strange sensation. This scene seemed strangely familiar.

"Grandma, please don't be angry, Momo just..."

"Alright, Momo, you can go back now." Old Madam Qin rubbed her temples wearily. "I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

Ji Momo wanted to say something more, but seeing the unquestionable look in Old Madam Qin's eyes, she had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth. Before leaving, she gave Yu Yuetong a deep look, a look that sent chills down Yu Yuetong's spine.

"That girl..." Old Madam Qin shook her head helplessly as she watched Ji Momo's departing figure. "I've spoiled her rotten."

Han Shuang snorted coldly: "That's right, she's been spoiled since she was a child and has no manners at all."

As Yu Yuetong listened to their conversation, a storm raged within her. Ji Momo—that name was all too familiar to her!

Isn't this the vicious female supporting character from that tragic novel?!

and many more……

Yu Yuetong suddenly realized something. She abruptly raised her head and looked at Madam Qin: "Grandma, you just said that Momo... has been spoiled by you since she was little?"

Madam Qin nodded: "Yes, this child has had a hard life, having lost both parents since childhood..."

"No parents?!" Yu Yuetong exclaimed in surprise, "Then she..."

“She is the granddaughter of my old friend. Before he passed away, he entrusted her to me.” Madam Qin sighed. “I felt sorry for her because she was all alone, so I adopted her and loved her like my own granddaughter.”

Yu Yuetong felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Oh no, she didn't transmigrate into an ordinary angst novel, but into...

A melodramatic, soap opera-style story about a rich family's substitute!

Yu Yuetong felt like her brain was about to explode; the amount of information was too much, and she needed to calm down.

A vicious female supporting character, a wealthy grandmother, a long-lost granddaughter... These melodramatic elements exploded in her mind like bombs, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

She forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace and said dryly to Old Madam Qin, "Grandma, don't listen to her nonsense, Qin Reng and I are doing just fine!"

Han Shuang looked at her suspiciously, clearly not believing her words.

Yu Yuetong cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" Just how cowardly was the original owner of this body to make everyone think that she and Qin Reng had a bad relationship?

"Grandma, I'm a little thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?" Yu Yuetong decided to keep Old Madam Qin calm first, and then slowly get information out of her.

Although Madam Qin felt that Yu Yuetong was acting a little strange today, she still patted her hand affectionately: "Okay, you wait here, Grandma will go pour you some."

Han Shuang also stood up: "Mom, I'll go with you."

After they left, Yu Yuetong was left alone in the ward. She slumped weakly onto the bed and began desperately trying to recall the plot of that melodramatic novel.

Ji Momo, the true daughter of the Ji family who had been separated from her family, was adopted by Old Madam Qin when she was young and secretly harbored feelings for Qin Reng.

The original owner of this body was a wealthy woman who was forced to marry Qin Reng by the old lady of the Qin family. Because she was jealous of Ji Momo, she targeted her in every way.

Later, Ji Momo and Qin Reng swapped souls in an accident. Ji Momo took advantage of this opportunity to successfully rise to power and become Mrs. Qin.

The original owner of this body was framed by Ji Momo, ultimately leading to the destruction of her family and the death of her loved ones.

"Holy crap!" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but swear. "This plot is just too melodramatic!"

Before she transmigrated into the book, she was just an ordinary office worker, and had never seen such a feud between wealthy families.
