Iris rubbed her temples and sighed.

Now that she was the new owner of this body, she would need to straighten out a lot of things and people before she could live the life of freedom that she always wanted. Iris Long's life was a mess, but she felt excited diving into this new life.

"Daaaaarling, are you alright? Does your head hurt?" Wei Lan turned to the doctors and demanded, "Why aren't you doing anything?! Aren't you doctors?! Make her headache go away! You're all useless! Call the hospital director! I'll tell them to replace you! Do you know who I am?! My ex-husband is the President and CEO of Long Industries!!!"

"Mother, please calm down. I'm alright. Dr. Ching and everyone else are doing everything they can to help me recover."

As someone who mysteriously occupied another person's body, Wei Lan was a stranger to her. She held no love for the woman, but Wei Lan was now her mother in this life. As long as Wei Lan didn't intentionally harm her, the least she could do was act polite.

Dr. Ching gave her a grateful smile. The team of doctors finished her check-up and left the two in the room.

When the door closed, Wei Lan sat with flourish on the chair beside the bed. She crossed her long legs, and gave an exaggerated sigh.

"Make sure to ask your father to see you. You were in coma for a year! One whole year!!! That's a year without facials and shopping! The horror!!! My poooor baby girl! You deserve to request anything from him. Hmph! Make sure to ask for something fabulous and expensive. Like a private plane, for example. And then mother can borrow it from time to time. You'll let me borrow, right? A yacht is good, too. We can throw fabulous parties while sailing! Ooooh! Wouldn't that be amazing? If you tell him how scary it was to be comatose, I'm sure that he'll buy you anything!"

Iris sighed as she watched Wei Lan's sparkling eyes. She knew the woman was already imagining herself hopping on a private plane to fly around the world and coasting on a yacht while romancing with her string of wealthy lovers.

"Father has already been informed about me since he's the one paying my hospital bills. Whether he comes to see me or not is up to him. I want to focus on my recovery and go home as soon as possible."

"Oh? You're returning to the Longs? That works, too. About damn time you remind them that you're also their heiress."

Iris gave her a side eye. "I have my own place."

"Hmph! A Long heiress living in that tiny dump. What an embarrassment! It's your father's fault for hiring that damn money man! You can't buy a mansion because that bastard won't let you spend your own money! And your father just lets that damn bastard do whatever he wants! Both your father and that damn money man won't let you spend your own money freely. You can't buy your own mansion and your father won't buy you one either! Meanwhile, his other brats from those sl*ts are living like royalty while you're working soooo hard!! Where is the fairness in the world?! My poooor baby!"

What was this woman babbling about? Tiny dump? Her memory told her that Iris Long owned a penthouse occupying the entire two topmost floors of the condominium building, which was already too big for a teenager living by herself.

She was able to purchase the penthouse for a good price because her financial manager (who Wei Lan calls the "damn money man") negotiated for her. However, she had a suspicion that it was Long Tengfei who secretly helped the original Iris to obtain such a good deal.

The mother and daughter never wanted to live together. To Wei Lan, providing for her daughter was her ex-husband's responsibility. She already did her job by getting pregnant, carrying the baby for nine months, and then suffering the unbelievable pain of child birth.

Now that ordeal was over, she thought that she deserved the right to enjoy life being pampered by men who admired her.

As for the original Iris, her mother's string of lovers disgusted her. She also didn't want to live with the Longs who clearly hated her. She had no choice but to get her own place.

Iris studied Wei Lan as the woman continued babbling about useless things. She didn't share the original Iris' disgust of her mother.

Wei Lan loved money, beauty, and loved herself the most. However, she wasn't a malicious person. She was a b*tch, but she wouldn't resort to criminal acts to get what she wanted.

Simply speaking, she was a shallow person. Her daughter, Iris, was similarly a shallow person. They were the same type of people; the same negative charge using the analogy of magnets, so they repelled each other.

The new Iris was a neutral one, neither repelling nor attracting. As long as people didn't provoke her, she would be polite. But if they attacked her…a dangerous glint showed in her eyes.
