Chapter 282
Damned Will of the World (2)
After waiting for everyone else to leave, Jiang Xiumei rubbed her hands on her apron uncomfortably. Her eyes swam up and down, avoiding Xiaoman. She felt a little guilty, just like a thief.
The child had gotten smarter and smarter, maybe she noticed what the old man said just now?
If Xiaoman asked, how should she answer? Jiang Xiumei became uneasy.
“Grandma, go back and rest, I’ll chop the rest.” Jiang Xiaoman didn’t say anything about the matter.
“Ah, en, alright.” This time it was Jiang Xiumei’s turn to act like an obedient child and do whatever Jiang Xiaoman said.
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was small, someone came through their walls and she had met a kidnapper. Now that she had grown so big, she still ran a kidnapper. Her Xiaoman’s life was so hard and bitter!
Jiang Xiaoman chopped the vegetables while listening to the system whining.
A small train was played in a loop in her head, with a rhythmic wuu wuu wuu crying sound.
This was a trick that the system had figured out. It couldn’t cry, so even if it made some wuu wuu wuu sounds, it’s wuu wuu wuu lacked emotion. It wasn’t easy to deceive Jiang Xiaoman, and she couldn’t be fooled by some casually told stories either.
Since it couldn’t fool her, then it would let her heart turn soft. It didn’t matter that it couldn’t cry, it would just cry with a slightly better rhythm and slightly better sound. When its host couldn’t stand it anymore and find it annoying, she would not ignore it anymore.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiaoman slammed the kitchen knife to the chopping board and sighed, “System, if you’re like this then I’ll be troubled.”
The system said, “Host, the main quest, it…”
Jiang Xiaoman glared and said angrily, “You said before that you will never force me to follow the plot again, that’s what you said before.”
“But the main quest… it’s not the kind of main quest that can be easily abandoned without going. Host, have pity on me, wuu wuu wuu…”
Jiang Xiaoman sneered, “Pay back the money!”
“…”
“Pay back the money!”
“…” The system became silent.
Its chips were spinning at high speed, thinking about countermeasures.
In the past, for the sake of the upgrade, it did promise its host that it wouldn’t force her to follow the main quest. But this main quest wasn’t something it could control…
Well, its host didn’t ask back then.
With its authority, it could only control the cannon fodders. It could change the plot a little, but it couldn’t control the main storyline.

Jiang Xiaoman: “This trick is useless.”
System: [Lying down and crying.jpg]
Jiang Xiaoman: “My heart is as hard as steel.”
System: [Weeping against the wall.jpg]
Jiang Xiaoman: “Then you should try crying for me to see.”
The system froze again. Its host was just bullying it because it was incorporeal!
The system huffed angrily and went silent for a while, then decided to tell her the truth. The system said, “Host, in fact, this isn’t me forcing you to go do the main quest. But the world has its own will and I cannot control it. What should happen will still happen. I’m not the one forcing you, it’s the will of the world.”
Jiang Xiaoman raised the kitchen knife, “What did you say?”
“Wuu wuu wuu!”
“Anyway, I won’t go back home.” Jiang Xiaoman cut the radish into two pieces with a bang. Thinking about those things when she was young, she felt irritated. “Grandma is not in good health, I want to stay by her side to take care of her. Before I have grown this big, have my parents ever asked me if I’m okay? Now that I’ve grown up, they want to come and pick up at the easy part? I don’t want them, I just want my Grandma.”
“But they are your biological parents…”
“If they’re really my biological parents and they’re so worried about me, why didn’t they come themselves? Heh, they’re still just sending someone here. So pompous! So polite, just like a guest coming from afar.”
The system couldn’t talk back against her and could only sigh, “Host, your parents’ family won’t change their minds. Even if you don’t come today, you will have to come tomorrow or the day after, just prepare.”
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t say anything.
She felt that the system’s concerns were unfounded.
If her parents really missed her and loved her so much, why didn’t Liang Yuanqing bring her home back then? It made no sense at all.
Unless Liang Yuanqing personally came to beg her to go back, Jiang Xiaoman would not consider it.
Jiang Xiaoman said, “Unless you get Liang Yuanqing to come here, crying and begging on his knees, I won’t believe it.”
System: “Just wait.”
… soon, Jiang Xiaoman found out what a terrible thing the will of the world that the system talked about was.
Because, Liang Yuanqing came two days after Butler Wen was driven away.
Liang Yuanqing no longer looked like before, but Jiang Xiaoman still recognized him as soon as she saw him.
And the crazy thing was, as soon as he saw her, he suddenly rushed forward to hug her.
Jiang Xiaoman sensed his intention and quickly stepped back. Liang Yuanqing was rushing so fast to express his excitement, so he couldn’t stop in time. Instead of hugging her, he fell towards the floor with a ‘thud’ and ended up kneeling right in front of Xiaoman.
Jiang Xiaoman was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Liang Yuanqing was also temporarily stunned, feeling pain from his knees.
However, this all happened very quickly, and this little change could not affect his performance.
Liang Yuanqing had prepared his tears for a long time, and as soon as he looked up at Jiang Xiaoman, they started to flow.
He stretched out his hands wanting to hug her, crying, “Child, my poor child. Dad finally found you. I’ve really wronged you, come home now with Dad, wuu wuu wuu…”
Jiang Xiaoman: “…”
This damned will of the world!
