Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 645 Lin Mengjie Awakens 2(2)_1
"Disperse this layer of light purple Spiritual Energy, this layer of Spiritual Energy." Qi Zhuochen held a Bagua in his hand, and when the two Lin Mengjies appeared, the needle on it started CLICKING rapidly as it spun.
Shangguan You pondered for a moment, then quickly nodded and waved her hands. The lid of the Crystal Coffin, which had been covered, was lifted, and simultaneously, the light purple Spiritual Energy that enveloped Lin Mengjie also began to slowly disperse.
The once somewhat ethereal Lin Mengjie now appeared before everyone in her true form. With her eyes tightly closed and her delicate face, this Lin Mengjie, who resembled Shangguan You by sixty percent, was now clearly visible to the crowd.
"Mengjie," Liu Ruoling called out softly. Looking at Lin Mengjie in this state, she didn’t seem to have been in a coma for over a decade but rather seemed to be merely sleeping.
"Mengjie, if you’ve had enough sleep, then please wake up. I can explain everything about that year. I really didn’t have any sort of relationship with her. Mengjie, you have to believe me." Shangguan Hao stepped forward once again. His hands gently stroked Lin Mengjie’s face, and the cold touch transferred to them.
"Dad, Aunt, please step aside and let me do this," Shangguan You spoke softly, prompting the two most agitated people to step back.
"Sister You, their physiques are exactly the same, and even their comatose conditions are identical. Maybe they are actually the same person," Qi Zhuochen said. His Yin Yang Eyes could see beyond the ordinary, and though he perceived things others couldn’t, he was also very sharp.
"Mm," Shangguan You nodded. Watching Lin Mengjie without the Spiritual Energy encasing her, she saw her breath growing weaker; it might stop at any moment, which made her anxious.
DING DING DING. A shrill ring of the doorbell cut through the pitch-black night again. This time, not only Shangguan You frowned, but the other members of the Shangguan Family also frowned in unison. Who would leave their warm homes to disturb them on New Year’s Day, of all days?
"I’ll go open the door and send them away," Shangguan Qing stood up quickly. This was already the second such interruption that evening. If people kept ringing the doorbell all night, when would Lin Mengjie finally wake up?
"Brother Qing, come back. I’ll get the door." Shangguan You caught hold of Shangguan Qing. In a flash, she was at the door. Seeing the people there, she couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Honestly, I really want to curse right now! Damn it, Heavens, are you messing with me? If there weren’t so many people here, I’d really be pointing at the sky and letting loose a tirade! Are you serious? Regardless of whether Lin Mengjie wakes up tonight, are you trying to gather everyone related to her at the Shangguan Family home? Do you want everyone to witness Mengjie’s awakening together?
"You little scamp, why do you look so unhappy? Don’t you welcome us?" Lin Wenjie and Lin Wenhao, the two brothers, stood outside, accompanied by Zhuge Feng, who was disguised as Ouyang Xuan.
"Little scamp, what’s wrong? Your face is so pale. Do you really not welcome me?" Zhuge Feng’s gaze swept the room, taking in the figures in the living room as well as the Crystal Coffin.
"How could I not welcome you? Why have you all come? Please, come in." Shangguan You stepped aside to let them in. With a wave of her hands, she cast a barrier around the Shangguan Family home, shrouding it in darkness and making it invisible. Let’s see who else can find the Shangguan home now.
"We heard he was hurt, so Grandpa and Dad asked us to check on his injuries. We ran into Ouyang Xuan on the road, and since we met, we came together to see you," Lin Wenjie explained slowly, recounting how the three of them had come.
"Little scamp, is she alright?" Zhuge Feng looked at Shangguan You, a hint of urgency in his voice. To others, it might have seemed he was concerned about Shangguan Hao, but Shangguan You knew he was asking about Lin Mengjie.
"She’s fine, Uncle Feng," Shangguan You nodded, then invited the three men inside.
In the living room, seeing the energetic Shangguan Hao and then the two Lin Mengjies in the Crystal Coffin, not only was Zhuge Feng surprised, but the Lin brothers were also shocked.
Shangguan You once again meticulously explained the situation. She retold them that Ouyang Xuan was actually Zhuge Feng, about Lin Mengjie’s coma, and about the presence of the two Lin Mengjies.
Zhuge Feng’s sharp gaze swept over Shangguan Hao and then indifferently moved away. Although Lin Mengjie had divorced Shangguan Hao, she had fallen into a coma soon after. Now, Shangguan Hao was his love rival. For love rivals to meet without open jealousy was already remarkable; it was natural that Zhuge Feng held no warm feelings for Shangguan Hao. This was also why, for the past seventeen years, Ouyang Xuan had only taken Shangguan You out and had seldom visited the Shangguan Family home.
In fact, the primary reason he never appeared at the Shangguan Family home at all was Lin Mengjie. She was his lifelong pursuit, yet Shangguan Hao had hurt her, causing her to fall into a coma. Zhuge Feng couldn’t forgive that and naturally showed Shangguan Hao no cordiality. Likewise, Shangguan Hao felt no goodwill towards Zhuge Feng, his love rival. When love rivals met, jealousy was bound to flare.
"Little scamp, try what you did just now. Maybe Mengjie will wake up," Zhuge Feng said, sweeping his hand. His palms were already placed on Lin Mengjie’s back. Spiritual Energy from within him flowed continuously into Lin Mengjie’s body, causing her initially cold body to slowly warm.
"But Uncle Feng, if she doesn’t wake up, then what will we do?"
"Mengjie has slept for seventeen years. She hasn’t even seen you yet. So I believe she won’t just keep sleeping. No matter what, we have to try, right?" Zhuge Feng heard that Lin Mengjie turned out to be this one-sided Guardian, and the worries within his heart gradually faded. As a Guardian, she couldn’t possibly be so frail.
"Uncle Feng, I understand." Shangguan You nodded. Even if they failed, with Zhuge Feng here, the guilt in her heart would be somewhat lessened.
"Little scamp, will Auntie wake up?" Lin Wenhao looked at the sleeping Lin Mengjie, his emotions swirling. If their grandfather and father hadn’t insisted they come over tonight, they would still be unaware that their aunt had been in a coma for seventeen years. For seventeen years, everything that had appeared before them was an illusion, a well-intentioned lie.
