Real Daughter, Fake Daughter (1)
Jiang Xiaoman went silent for a short while, then suddenly said, âSystem, youâre trying to trick me.â
System: â??â
What did she mean, âtrick herâ!? As a system, it still had its rules and principles!
âAs soon as I said I wouldnât go back to the Wen family, you gave me this task. You must have an ulterior motive, this must be a trick. â
â!!â The system was crying blood, âHost! Calm down, you have to believe in my character! Something major must have happened! I would never use the plot to joke around!â
âDo you even have character?â
The system cried, âHost, you canât say that to me just because my IQ is not high.â
â...â
Jiang Xiaoman felt that its words were too pitiful. Although it wasnât crying, it sounded really aggrieved.
Sigh, then she would just believe it this once.
Jiang Xiaoman asked, âWhat is a plot correction card?â
âYou can get a permission to fix the plot. If you fix an error, you will also get a card. Patching an error once would give you the card once.â
The system jammed earlier because it went to get permission. The situation was not right, but the system could only investigate, not repair it itself. The rest had to be left to its host.
Generally speaking, there should be no error in the plot.
...Ok.
The system felt that it should not have such thoughts, because ever since it was bound to Jiang Xiaoman, there have been many developments that seemed to have no loopholes, but have in fact deviated from the direction of the plot. It was just that they existed in the blank area on the script that it had, so the plot wasnât affected.
It was different now.
It was clearly written on the script; Old Master Wen would live to seventy-eight years old.
Now Old Master Wen was going to die in two months, how could this be allowed?
At this time, Jiang Xiaoman was cutting up the green onion and ginger. She added water to the pan, then put in the minced meat. After stirring and marinating, she turned her attention to the soup that was being boiled on the fire.
Soon, the meat souped cooked especially for Jiang Xiumei was ready.
The elderly had bad appetite and poor digestion, so they could only eat these refreshing things.
When Jiang Xiaoman brought the soup into the room, Jiang Xiumei was still looking at the leaflet, and when she saw Jiang Xiaoman come in, she pointed at the people on the leaflet and said, âXiaoman, look. This row of people are all people who are entering Tsinghua and Beijing University. This is too amazing!â
Her eyes were sparkling, like a child waiting for approval.
Those who regressed more the more they lived wasnât just the system. Wasnât Grandma that way too?
Jiang Xiaoman glanced at it and nodded, âYes, itâs really amazing! Grandma, eat first.â
Jiang Xiumei still looked absent-minded; her eyes still did not leave the promotional poster of Qiming High School, and her mouth was smiling so wide it wouldnât close.
âIâll feed you, ahhh.â
Jiang Xiumei obediently said âahhâ, and with much effort finally finished eating the soup. Jiang Xiumei finally remembered to ask Jiang Xiaoman how her business today went.
Because she had been too excited and Xiaomanâs behavior was too calm and normal, Jiang Xiumei didnât immediately remember todayâs big event.
âOh, that.â Jiang Xiaoman scratched her head awkwardly, âWell, so so. Itâs okay.â
âWhat is so so? Were they not happy to see you? Or did they bully you?â Jiang Xiumei started to get angry. She was so fierce she looked like she was about to go out and pick a fight.
âNo, no. How could anyone dare to bully me.â Jiang Xiaoman held her down, then rolled her eyes for a while, and said with a guilty conscience, âGrandma, I have something I want to discuss with you.â
âSay it.â
Jiang Xiaoman played with her fingers and whispered, âItâs my grandfather... That Old Master Wen, he doesnât have more than two months left to live. He is very ill. I think I might have to go back and live with them for a while.â
Jiang Xiumei lowered her eyes and did not speak for a while.
âDonât worry Grandma, Iâll come back when the matter is resolved. I just want to live with Grandma and Uncle, and I donât want to go back there.â Jiang Xiaoman didnât want to make her grandma sad, so she took off the crescent-shaped jade pendant and put it in Jiang Xiumeiâs hand, âIâll give this to Grandma, I donât need it at all.â
System: â......â
Host, you are so cruel!
