Novel Full Chapter 123
Because She’s Pretty Cute (2)
She had heard a lot of stories before, Cinderella, for example. The story looked miserable at first, but things would turn out okay later on.
Maybe the little baby was just miserable at the start, but she would become happy later.
Unfortunately, the story that the system was telling her today ended in tragedy.
“At first, the baby was adopted by a family, and with much effort, managed to grow to four years old. Unfortunately, the uncle and grandmother who adopted the baby soon passed away because of an accident. No one wanted her, and all of her relatives passed her around. They thought that she was not a good child and did not want to raise her. She could only grow up by eating the food and wearing the clothes that the neighbors in the village3 donated.”
“It’s very pitiful.” Jiang Xiaoman wiped her tears.
The system continued, “She didn’t get to eat well ever since she was small. Her body did not have enough nutrition to grow well, and her brain was also not smart. She did want to go to school, but it was already amazing that she could even survive, so how could she go to school? She watched the students go to class with envy and wanted to listen in, but was driven away.”
“Teacher Tang really is a good person,” Jiang Xiaoman said. “My mother was also almost kicked out.”
“…” The system held back its anger and continued, “The baby finally grew up to fifteen and became a little girl. At that time, her parents finally found her and brought her home.”
“It’s a good story.” Jiang Xiaoman wiped her eyes and cried, “The little baby is too miserable. Her parents must treat her well from now on and never beat or scold her. Let her wear nice clothes and go to school.”
“Too naïve, you’re happy too early,” the system sneered, “Although her parents brought her back, there was already an adopted daughter at home. When the little baby could not eat until she’s full, her parents had to coax the adopted daughter, who was a picky eater. When the little baby did not have enough clothes to keep her warm, her parents prepared different clothes for the adopted daughter to wear every day. When the little baby could not go to school, her parents took the adopted daughter to summer camps on the other side of the world.”
“Oh…” Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while. “Then you can just give the extra clothes, food, and summer camps to the little baby.”
…Why was the host always focusing on the wrong thing?!
The system couldn’t bear it anymore and told her straight, “Host, don’t you think that this story is very familiar? Isn’t the little baby very similar to you?”
“Ah? Am I that miserable?” Jiang Xiaoman was shocked.
“…originally, you were supposed to.” But since Jiang Xing was rescued and could return home, she was no longer so miserable.
Whenever it remembered this, the system’s eyes moistened with tears of regret again.
One wrong turn and everything went wrong.
From then on, it lost the ability to control the situation, and sooner or later, it might even develop dementia.
Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while but felt that the story was too miserable. It was not like her at all, so she didn’t think it was actually about her.
After all, even though Grandma sometimes beat her and scold her, it was only occasionally and not often at all. Lately, Grandma had become really gentle, and Jiang Xiaoman was not afraid of her at all.
But it did not stop her from thinking that it was a bad story.
She told the system to change the ending; she didn’t like it.
The system said that it wasn’t something that it could do. The story was written like this, and it was powerless to change it.
Jiang Xiaoman was so angry and yelled, “The person who wrote this story has something wrong in their head!”
They actually treated the little baby like that! Too evil!
The system said, “Host, I’m not trying to scare you. Think about it, you’re very miserable right now, but that fake daughter is very arrogant and spoiled. Everyone loves her and praises her. Your father and mother’s love are hers. Your life and everything that you should have is hers. Aren’t you angry thinking about it? Don’t you hate her?”
