After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 173 No regrets

Upon hearing this news, Yuan Yutong was startled once again.

She least wanted to hear this bad news, but bad news kept coming one after another, and bad things kept happening, which had a huge impact on the Yuan family.

Everything has changed completely since then.

The plot's deviation and collapse came unexpectedly.

Yuan Yutong originally thought that she knew all the plot details and could win by doing nothing. She thought she could rely on her older brother Yuan Zhirong and the others to gain wealth and honor, and live a carefree life as a parasite in this world.

Such a good life is so much better than being a corporate slave working 996, she is willing to stay in this place.

However, one mishap after another occurred, throwing the Yuan family into chaos and making the situation worse and worse.

My father's sudden illness was not a good sign.

If the father, Yuan Ruying, also falls ill and becomes unable to do anything, then the Yuan family will definitely fall into difficulties as well.

With so many people in the family experiencing such out-of-control situations one after another, all getting injured, falling ill, and having their old ailments flare up, it's as if they've been cursed by some terrible curse, causing one family member after another to suffer such retribution.

Realizing this, Yuan Yutong's expression changed.

At that moment, Yuan Yutong couldn't help but think of Lü Xinyan, and the task she had ordered the guard to do: kill Lü Xinyan.

This made Yuan Yutong even more uneasy, wondering if all the changes started with the decision she made.

If it is truly because of my actions that the Yuan family has been subjected to such a severe curse, then what should I do?

The deed is done, and Lü Xinyan should be dead by now. No matter how much she regrets it, she can't go back to the past.

She still didn't believe it, and didn't think that someone who knew so much about the plot could be wrong to want to take advantage of the world and enjoy wealth and luxury, or that she would fail to achieve her goal!

However, she still needed to go and check on her father, Yuan Ruying, to confirm the situation and see if any changes could be made.

After all, she had heard before that the Yuan family had borrowed luck from Lü Xinyan and the Lü family, causing Lü Xinyan and the Lü family to fall into bad luck and be entangled in misfortune, thereby saving the original owner's life and allowing her to survive in this world. She also absorbed the luck of Lü Xinyan and the Lü family in exchange for more wealth and good fortune for her family.

They did all these complicated things on the condition that they treat Lü Xinyan well.

However, she just couldn't stand that Lü Xinyan had been living a good life in the Yuan family for more than ten years, replacing her identity!

How could a mere young lady like Nong have such a good fate and luck? How could she have been the young lady of the Yuan family for so many years?

Even though they all knew the truth, Yuan Yutong still harbored resentment.

This was the original owner's wish, and Yuan Yutong naturally had to fulfill it for the original owner.

Regardless of whether Lü Xinyan is innocent or not, since the original owner made the request, she needs to fulfill it in order to better control this body, enjoy all the benefits, completely replace the original owner, and obtain all of the original owner's memories.

Otherwise, having forgotten the original owner's memories, she wouldn't be so easily fooled.

It was only at the moment she arranged for the Yuan family's secret guards to kill Lü Xinyan that the original owner's remnant soul completely departed.

Therefore, Yuan Yutong does not regret, nor can she regret, such a thing.

Without these events, she couldn't be sure whether she could fully control this body, or whether any hidden dangers would remain.

That situation was too terrible for Yuan Yutong to accept.

To put her mind at ease, Yuan Yutong had to do this: she had to fulfill the original owner's wishes and completely take control of this body.

Even though doing so might come at a considerable cost, she had no other choice at the time.

Of course, Yuan Yutong is not yet sure whether things are as she thinks, and she needs to investigate further to find out.

Most importantly, there was the Yuan family's bodyguard, who was originally assigned by the main family to follow her, but he had not shown up since the last time he went to deal with Lü Xinyan, and his fate was unknown.

Furthermore, after this incident, the other guards of the Yuan family did not make any significant moves and did not come to her about it.

This situation left Yuan Yutong somewhat confused. She didn't know whether the guard was alive or dead, or where he was now. What was the attitude of her main family?

Training a bodyguard requires so much money and time; it's no easy task. Yet, they never inquired about the disappearance of that bodyguard.

All of this led Yuan Yutong to believe that the family's secret guard had already completed the mission of killing Lü Xinyan and returned to report, which was why he didn't need to come to her anymore, and the other secret guards hadn't asked about these things either.

Having considered this, Yuan Yutong felt much more at ease.

She was now afraid that Lü Xinyan was not dead, but was deliberately taking revenge on everyone in the Yuan family, making so many of them pay such a heavy price, in order to destroy the Yuan family!

Fortunately, as long as Lü Xinyan is dead, all the problems are solved, and she no longer needs to worry about Lü Xinyan's revenge.

As for the changes that have happened to the Yuan family, she needs to investigate them as soon as possible, hoping to find the source of these changes, resolve them as much as possible, and get things back on track so that the plot can return to its original state.

At that time, Yuan Yutong believed in her control over the plot and that she was the female lead of this world. She believed that everything would go smoothly and achieve its goal, so she didn't care about anything. She felt that killing Lu Xinyan, that variable female cannon fodder, was nothing. On the contrary, it would be better for her, allowing her to completely say goodbye to the original body and take control of this body.

She did not regret the decision she made at that time. However, the reality was so cruel that Yuan Yutong had to rethink these issues and find a solution as soon as possible to get out of this predicament.

Only when the plot is restored can she foresee the future again, continue to seize various opportunities, and better obtain wealth and status, becoming a lazy parasite.

Even though Yuan Zhirong and the others had suffered such a serious misfortune, Yuan Yutong believed that there was still a chance for things to get better.
