Real Daughter, Fake Daughter (1)
Jiang Xiaoman went silent for a short while, then suddenly said, “System, you’re trying to trick me.”
System: “??”
What did she mean, ‘trick her’!? As a system, it still had its rules and principles!
“As soon as I said I wouldn’t go back to the Wen family, you gave me this task. You must have an ulterior motive, this must be a trick. ”
“!!” The system was crying blood, “Host! Calm down, you have to believe in my character! Something major must have happened! I would never use the plot to joke around!”
“Do you even have character?”
The system cried, “Host, you can’t say that to me just because my IQ is not high.”
“…”
Jiang Xiaoman felt that its words were too pitiful. Although it wasn’t crying, it sounded really aggrieved.
Sigh, then she would just believe it this once.
Jiang Xiaoman asked, “What is a plot correction card?”
“You 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.”
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 wasn’t 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?
Jiang Xiaoman was also thinking at the same time.
Having been with the system for so many years, Jiang Xiaoman also understood the system’s behavior.
In general, it was easy to talk to, and was even very easy to fool. But when it came to the plot, it would be absolutely unwilling to budge. Therefore, no matter how Jiang Xiaoman tried to have a good relationship with it, when Jiang Xiaoman wanted it to revise the plot, it would refuse. It would say that if it changed the plot, then it would be its end.
The system kept talking about living and dying, it seemed that the longer it lived, the more it regressed.
However, this also showed that this plot correction card was a rare thing, and it was more important than points.
Points were often available, but plot correction cards were not.
“Okay.” Jiang Xiaoman quickly made up her mind and knew what she should do, “I’ll accept it.”
The system sobbed a few times and flattered her, saying, “You are so kind, host, I love you the most.”
“Disgusting.”
“Uwu.”
“You’re annoying.”
“…”
The system began to shut itself off and did not speak anymore.
But whatever, it was good that the host was willing to work.
It felt really good to be able to frighten the host by acting like a spoiled child.
When Jiang Xiaoman returned to the small suite, it was already evening. Right now, Jiang Xiumei had already woken up and was in good spirits. She was resting on the bed, holding a leaflet that came from who knows where, and her eyes were red from anxiety.
And Jiang Xing was busy in the kitchen, planning to make some soup for Jiang Xiumei. However, his cooking skills really hadn’t improved at all. He was busy until he was sweating all over, and Jiang Xiaoman was the one who came to save the day.
Jiang Xing burst into tears, “Xiaoman, you’re finally back, your grandma wants to drink meat soup.”
Jiang Xiaoman waved her hand and told him to go out, “Let me.”
The kitchen was emptied.
Jiang Xing finally had time to deal with his own affairs, and immediately turned on the computer and video called with Tao Tao to deal with work.
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, “Xiaoman, look. This row of people are all people who are entering Tsinghua and Beijing University. This is too amazing!”
Her eyes were sparkling, like a child waiting for approval.
Those who regressed more the more they lived wasn’t just the system. Wasn’t Grandma that way too?
Jiang Xiaoman glanced at it and nodded, “Yes, it’s really amazing! Grandma, eat first.”
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 wouldn’t close.
“I’ll feed you, ahhh.”
Jiang Xiumei obediently said “ahh”, 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 Xiaoman’s behavior was too calm and normal, Jiang Xiumei didn’t immediately remember today’s big event.
“Oh, that.” Jiang Xiaoman scratched her head awkwardly, “Well, so so. It’s okay.”
“What is so so? Were they not happy to see you? Or did they bully you?” Jiang Xiumei started to get angry. She was so fierce she looked like she was about to go out and pick a fight.
“No, no. How could anyone dare to bully me.” Jiang Xiaoman held her down, then rolled her eyes for a while, and said with a guilty conscience, “Grandma, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“Say it.”
Jiang Xiaoman played with her fingers and whispered, “It’s my grandfather… That Old Master Wen, he doesn’t 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.”
Jiang Xiumei lowered her eyes and did not speak for a while.
“Don’t worry Grandma, I’ll come back when the matter is resolved. I just want to live with Grandma and Uncle, and I don’t want to go back there.” Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to make her grandma sad, so she took off the crescent-shaped jade pendant and put it in Jiang Xiumei’s hand, “I’ll give this to Grandma, I don’t need it at all.”
System: “……”
Host, you are so cruel!
