A stretch Lincoln parked in front of the Tudor mansion at the end of the street.
Jiang Bao got out of the car. Her black coat reached to her ankles, with only the tips of her leather shoes exposed. She looked solemn and silent.
The driver wearing white gloves walked over quickly and wanted to hold an umbrella for her. Jiang Bao waved his hand: "The snow is not heavy, I can go there by myself."
Her chest felt tight and she wanted to breathe.
At the end of December, Christmas and New Year’s Eve coincided with each other, and the whole city was filled with an atmosphere of joy. It starts to get dark at three or four o'clock in the winter in London, and the Christmas lights on the streets shine on the white snow, making it very dreamy.
Jiang Bao lowered her head and walked forward. Snowflakes fell on the brim of her hat. After a few minutes, it became white. Contrary to the joyful atmosphere, she came to attend the memorial service.
Lin Can died in the bathtub two days ago after drinking a lot of red wine. He claimed it was an accident, but it was actually... suicide.
Today also happens to be the first anniversary of the other party being recognized back to the Jiang family.
Lin Can had no friends in London. There were very few people who came to pay their respects today, and the whole hall was empty.
The situation of the Jiang family is a bit complicated. Jiang Bao's father is a romantic man and thinks that it is troublesome to deal with the family and property after marriage. He has had many women but has not given any status to anyone. He has had many children, all of them illegitimate.
But the brothers' struggle has nothing to do with Jiang Bao. After all, it was ten years ago, when she was only in her teens.
Jiang Bao is currently busy with his master's thesis and managing the family's hotel business. He is running around every day and is very pressed for time... Lin Can, on the other hand, is taciturn and not easy to get in touch with.
The relationship between the two has always been weak. She, a twin sister, can't even get close to her, let alone her half-brothers.
All in all, the last time she met Lin Can was four months ago.
Jiang Bao was thinking about something when someone tapped her shoulder from behind, and she came back to her senses.
"It's a rare time to come back. I have a party tomorrow and you can come with me. Little sister, you have graduated and it's better to make more friends." The man said with a smile.
Jiang Bao was silent. This was not the first time that her eldest brother had 'introduced' a friend's son to her. Normally he would just forget about it, but now it was very inappropriate.
"I'm sorry, brother, I have other plans."
Jiang Ming didn't expect the other party's refusal to be so direct, and he suddenly lost his temper: "What's your attitude? I worry about you because we are a family. Don't imitate the second child's bad temper, no one will like it!"
He always felt that the second child had a favorable eye for Jiang Bao. Of course, this was not because Jiang Bao was the youngest among the siblings and also a girl.
In a way, these two people are very similar, and both are annoying.
Jiang Haozheng, who is now in power in the Jiang family, has been criticized for being callous and cruel.
Jiang Bao didn't want to continue chatting with her eldest brother and went straight upstairs. Compared to sadness, accident prevailed. She couldn't figure it out, so she took out her mobile phone and called Lin Can's psychiatrist directly.
The brothers and sisters all knew that Lin Can was not in good condition, so the second brother hired the best psychiatrist for him.
"Dr. Su, why did she suddenly...she even sent me a New Year's gift and a greeting card last week."
There was no warning at all.
"Actually, there is no such thing as 'sudden suicide'. Lin Can suffers from severe depression and PTSD and must take medicine every day to control it. Although he has worked in the entertainment industry for a period of time, his personality is not cheerful..."
"I'm very sad, but respect her choice, and please also express your condolences."
The snowflakes that drifted in from the window fell on the tip of his nose, and the coolness reached the bottom of his heart. Jiang Bao held on to the wall next to him, and it took a few seconds to calm down.
In order to rush back as soon as possible, she spent more than ten hours changing flights, and her current mental state is not very good.
But the physical discomfort now is not because of the hard journey, but because of Lin Can's death.
Many twins have telepathy. They have very different personalities and looks, but they often fall ill at the same time.
At the age of four, Jiang Bao had a low fever and lay down for two days. At the age of seventeen, he had a fever that delayed the game. At the age of twenty-one, he was restless and depressed for several days.
Later she learned that Lin Can was in a car accident at the age of four, drowned at the age of seventeen and walked around the gates of hell, and Wei Ya fell from a height of four meters while filming at the age of twenty-one.
All of this was actually felt by me who was thousands of miles away.
A big living person suddenly turned into a black and white photo in a frame.
Even though they were not close, Jiang Bao still felt a little uncomfortable, whether it was physical or psychological.
She had come here and wanted to visit Lin Can's room. Only today did she realize that she knew very little about this twin sister.
The room was at the end of the second floor. The door was unlocked. Jiang Bao stretched out his hand and pushed it open. The room was very clean inside.
Jiang Bao turned around and saw a black notebook on the table.
This is Lin Can's diary.
Jiang Bao took the diary back to her room. She had a headache, but she still lay on the bed and spent an hour flipping through the diary.
Lin Can didn't write a diary every day. It took him five years to complete only one third of this diary, which recorded his mood and some chores.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Bao fell asleep in a daze.
She had a dream about something that happened a long time ago.
Jiang Bao entered school early, two years younger than her classmates. At that time, there was a girl in the class who often bullied her. Every day during nap time, he used a pen to draw on her arms and face, and sometimes he would poke her with the tip of the pen to hurt her. The teacher said it was useless, so just turn a blind eye and ignore it.
It was a private kindergarten, and the parents of the students who could attend it were either rich or wealthy. Her father knew the girl's parents, so it was hard to say anything.
Jiang Bao was half a head shorter than his opponent and much thinner, so he couldn't win at all.
One day at noon two months later, when the girl climbed onto her bed with a pen during her lunch break as usual, Jiang Bao did not avoid him. She pretended to be asleep and pushed the girl off the bed when she relaxed her vigilance. Then she picked up the hidden pen. The pen in the palm of his hand stabbed the opponent's shoulder hard.
The blood immediately stained the girl's clothes, and the cries and screams were mixed together.
The teacher informed the parents that Jiang Bao's second brother, who had just graduated from university, came and apologized sincerely to her parents, but did not scold her.
Although it was a skin injury, the wound was not shallow and would definitely leave scars after it healed. The girl's parents scolded her for being vicious, but they were thankful that the injury was not on her face. Because the two families have a good relationship, it's hard to fall out.
Later, Jiang Bao, who was suspected of having violent tendencies, transferred to another school, and no one in the new school bullied her.
You see, even though they are twins, they deal with problems in completely different ways.

"Since there is no problem, why are you still not awake after a day and a night? Is she pretending to be dead?"
"I don't know either. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be." The nurse said.
Chen Hexiang had an impatient look on her face, it was all because this damn girl was jealous of others in school, otherwise how could she be pushed into the artificial pond.
I spent two days lying there and spent 3,000 yuan! The key is that I can’t find the perpetrator to pay compensation and I have to accept it as bad luck!
"We really have to be discharged from the hospital. You quickly find a way to wake her up. There will be something else to do later!"
"How to do this..." The nurse looked embarrassed.
Chen Hexiang walked back and forth in the ward twice, and finally made up her mind. With the nurse's exclamation, she picked up the water glass on the table and threw it at the person's face.
——
Jiang Bao's brain was groggy, and suddenly his face felt cold, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
She wiped her face, and water flowed into her neck, which made her very uncomfortable.
Jiang Bao sat up from the bed and glared at the woman holding the glass, "Are you crazy? You actually poured it on me?"
The woman's face was covered with thick foundation, her figure was plump, and her face was unfamiliar.
Chen Hexiang squeezed out a smile: "Xiao Can, just wake up. I'm worried. Since there's nothing wrong, let's go! It's almost afternoon!"
Where to go? Who is this crazy woman? Why do you talk to yourself in such a tone
Jiang Bao looked around. This was obviously not a hospital in London. Everything was white. The walls were white, the sheets were white, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.
Oh my god! This room is only a dozen square meters, but there are six hospital beds!
Jiang Bao wanted to leave this terrible place quickly, but when she moved she found that her whole body was weak and her head hurt even more!
She took the toilet paper from the table and wiped the water from her face, her emotions at a critical point.
Jiang Bao thought about it, he fell asleep after flipping through his notebook, how could he be here
It doesn't look like a kidnapping anyway.
The nurse finally came to her senses and said with shock: "Madam, how could you splash water on a patient!"
Chen Hexiang didn't want to waste any time explaining. She pulled Jiang Bao on the hospital bed and said, "We have to go through the discharge procedures now. It's really too late!"
Jiang Bao shook off the extended hand. She hated contact with strangers and had a very bad impression of the woman in front of her.
No one has ever dared to throw water at her! Jiang Bao is going home now! And he will never let go of those who tease him!
Jiang Bao looked around for her cell phone and finally found an old Nokia under the pillow. It was obviously not hers, but she would make do with it first.
She clicked on the screen and was stunned when she saw the time displayed on her phone the next second.
October 14, 2015.
Jiang Bao felt that it was strange for him to be here, but now the situation became completely weird. Could it be that someone was joking with her on purpose
Is this a massive prank
Jiang Bao, who is accustomed to using smartphones, is not used to the mobile phones from a few years ago. After entering a string of numbers, she was about to press the dial button, but she did not know which button she touched and entered the photo album.
There are several selfies in the album. She knows this person, Lin Can!
Jiang Bao and Lin Can are fraternal twins who look nothing alike. Jiang Bao's facial features are more like his father's. That man is one-quarter French, but Lin Can has a 'first love face'.
So this is Lin Can’s mobile phone
Jiang Bao had a bold guess in her mind. She turned on the front camera of her phone, and a familiar face that did not belong to her appeared on the low-resolution screen.
Chen Hexiang next to her was unhappy, "You actually still have time to take a selfie?"
Lin Can was on the hot search list with just one photo. When she was seventeen years old, she was even more pure and smart, with a strong sense of girlishness, making people very protective.
A netizen once commented: No matter how much news she gets, she will not hate her, not because she is tolerant, but for the sake of her face.
Jiang Bao was completely confused. Not only did she go back to four years ago, she also became Lin Can. This is simply incredible!
She became Lin Can, so where did the real Lin Can go? It couldn't be that... it turned into her, right
The more Jiang Bao thought about it, the more his head hurt. The diary he had just finished flipping through was still fresh in his mind.
She was also upset when she saw the black and white photo of Lin Can at the memorial service. Maybe she should care more about talents.
I even thought that if Lin Can was recognized back to the Jiang family a few years in advance, the situation would be much better. Even if he had no equity and several million in pocket money every year, it would be better than being sucked by his previous family members.
But she definitely doesn’t want to exchange lives with him!
Jiang Bao raised his head and asked with a wary face: "Who are you?"
Shen Hexiang wondered, maybe she was confused, "Who else could I be? Xiao Can really doesn't have time. Today you have to take a swimsuit photo shoot, and you finally got the spot!"
Jiang Bao felt groggy, thinking that Lin Can seemed to have joined a girl group, which was not very formal, and made money by performing in theaters and meeting... there were a lot of girls in it who dropped out of school.
Wait, her mind turned around and she asked, "What did you mean to shoot just now?"
Chen Hexiang reached out for her again: "Swimsuit photo shoot! Didn't you agree? It's 20,000 yuan!"
"Don't touch me!" Jiang Bao used all his strength to push the woman who was pulling him to stagger.
What a hell, talk and move!
He actually hired someone to take a swimsuit photo shoot for 20,000 yuan? Lin Can is not yet an adult now!
