After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Chapter 363 President Li Shocked, Red Ginseng is a Gift from Shengsheng

...Bai Qiang?

Hearing this name, Li Muchen did found it somewhat familiar.

It took him a few seconds to recall, and he couldn’t help but be slightly startled: "Baby... are you talking about the rumored deceased eldest Miss of the Bai Family in Beijing?"

The Bai Family, a top-tier and old-fashioned family in Beijing, almost-controls the entire domestic jewelry industry, and Bai Fuyu is indeed an unquestioned jewelry tycoon.

Unfortunately, the Bai family is not blessed with many offspring. Bai Fuyu has no siblings, and his early deceased wife bore his eldest daughter Bai Qiang, while his second wife from another marriage bore his second daughter Bai Wei.

Bai Qiang, the eldest Miss of the Bai Family, took over the family business at the age of twenty. Intelligent and poised, she managed the enterprise efficiently, earning unanimous praise from the business community in Beijing.

However, ten years ago, Bai Fuyu became bedridden due to cancer, and 23-year-old Bai Qiang disappeared while traveling in the UK, and to this date, there’s has been no news.

Therefore, the outside world has concluded that Bai Qiang is dead, and rumors say that Bai Qiang, feeling overwhelmed during her trip to the UK, committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

After Bai Qiang’s disappearance, stimulated and for health reasons, Bai Fuyu announced his retirement. Since then, Bai Wei has been managing the household.

"It’s not rumored that she died; Bai Qiang actually did die."

Lu Sheng also reminisced about the past, "Bai Qiang had depression, her trip to the UK was actually to commit suicide."

"Before she left her home, she actually entrusted some matters to Bai Wei, which amounted to making arrangements for after her death, just that Bai Wei didn’t think of it at the time."

"After Bai Qiang jumped into the sea, a kind passerby rescued her to the shore, but by that time she was already dead. It was during that time, I was reincarnated through her body."

"So baby, didn’t you return to China using Bai Qiang’s identity?" asked Li Muchen, "It seems that for these ten years, there hasn’t been any news of Bai Qiang in Beijing."

"No," Lu Sheng shook her head.

"After reincarnating through her body, I was able to feel the remaining emotions and obsessions of the original owner. For instance, the original Lu Sheng, I could feel her unwillingness to be strangled, her memories of her mother, and her anxiety and longing for the new life coming."

"But the original Bai Qiang had already grown weary of the secular world. Deep down, she really wanted to escape from the family, Beijing, and even everything in the country; otherwise, she wouldn’t have specifically gone abroad to commit suicide by jumping into the sea."

"So what she longed for most during her lifetime was to be far from all disturbances. To find a quiet place with flowers and grass, freely and peacefully passing the remaining time of her life."

"So at that time, I hoped to fulfill this wish for her."

"After reincarnating as Bai Qiang, I stayed in the UK for many years and also went to other countries and cities. During this process, I did many things that Bai Qiang had never tried before and met many people."

"But I also didn’t expect that those things I did back then and the people I met then would also help me a lot after I became Lu Sheng."

Li Muchen was stunned: "Baby, are you saying..."

"Speaking of which, do you still remember that our second encounter was at the charity auction dinner hosted by the Fu Family."

Lu Sheng suddenly said, "Do you remember, when the Red ginseng was being auctioned at the event, Meng Lin was bidding against you, and even in the end, she bid a whopping 15 million to get the item."

"But after the banquet ended, she gave the Red ginseng to you, and also mentioned it was a friend of hers who asked her to bid on the Red ginseng for you, telling you not to refuse it."

Hearing Lu Sheng suddenly bring up this matter, Li Muchen’s eyes widened unusually, "Baby... the friend Meng Lin mentioned at the time, was that you?"

"Meng Lin truly excelled and was more diligent than anyone. Within just three years, the Bailin Group emerged prominently, changed people’s shopping habits, and became a leading major group in the country."

"Meng Lin only knew me as Bai Qiang, but never linked me with the missing young lady of the Bai Family. After Bailin was on track and no longer needed my investment, I seldom contacted Meng Lin."

"However, Meng Lin is a very grateful person. She made me the largest behind-the-scenes shareholder of Bailin, and even though I never asked for any return, she set up an account under my name and transferred a significant amount of money to it every year."

"Bailin, Bai Qiang, Meng Lin... so that’s how it was." Hearing Lu Sheng’s explanations, Li Muchen couldn’t help but murmur.

Lu Sheng continued, "Actually, I hadn’t contacted Meng Lin for over a year before that auction."

"It was just that when I saw that Red ginseng, I thought of using it to help heal your leg. But given my identity then, I couldn’t do it myself, so I had Meng Lin bid and send it to you on my behalf."

"Meng Lin still doesn’t know that I’m now Lu Sheng."

At this point, Lu Sheng paused and said, "Actually, besides Meng Lin, there are other people who I befriended as Bai Qiang whom you have met."

"For example, Professor Peng Hongyuan. That paper recorded by FSI was actually one I sent to him a few years ago while I was in the UK. No wonder people online criticized it, because that level of paper is indeed not something an ordinary high school student could write."

"Like when I met Ji Yan during the Abis Boxing Competition in the UK. At that time, I wore a panda mask the whole time, and since Bai Qiang and Lu Sheng have similar builds, facial features, and voices, he recognized me later on at Old Mr. Fu’s banquet."

"Also Master Osborne, whom I met by submitting to his email about a year ago when I was in seclusion. He considered me a musical prodigy and we became close friends, which is why he was so affable with me during the piano competition."

"Besides these people, there are actually others. But after I secluded myself deep in the mountains, I intentionally did not contact anyone to avoid contact with the outside world."

"...Secluded in the mountains?" Li Muchen looked at Lu Sheng, "Is it because you found the outside world not quiet enough?"

"Not really," Lu Sheng took a deep breath and looked up, "I secluded myself in the mountains because, at that time, I was being hunted."
