Chapter 56 I Don't Care About the Jiang Family
[Host, you've still followed the novel's plot.]
Shi Sui was writing an English essay, happily adding the last, universal ending, when the system popped into her mind.
Yes, 'exposing Jiang Tianyao's adopted daughter' is the very beginning of the novel's plot.
In the novel, she is questioned and insulted by her classmates at school, and when she gets home, she is criticized and lectured by her father, who scolds her for making a fool of the Jiang family and disgracing the Jiang family.
Furthermore, the marriage alliance with the Gu family that he cares about most can only be with Jiang Tianyao, so Jiang Tianyao is the true daughter of the Jiang family.
Jiang Chenjin will delete all information online about the abduction of the Jiang family's daughter, just to protect Jiang Tianyao and prevent her from being sad.
At the end of the novel, under pressure from the Jiang family, Shi Sui apologizes to Jiang Tianyao at school, saying that she is an adopted daughter and that she lied impulsively out of jealousy.
Shi Sui didn't want the story to go down that path.
She just wanted to be an ordinary student, study hard every day to get rich, and rely on the system to stay away from the plot, but she didn't expect Jiang Tianyao to haunt her.
[Forget about the plot, I don't care.] Shi Sui paused, then reminded the system, [I've finished my English essay, pay me.]
[Congratulations on completing Task 5, the English essay "You are Li Hua," for which you have received a reward of 200 yuan.]
200 yuan...
Regular tasks only give lottery money, but only time-limited tasks can swindle Gu Chenyi out of his money.
This system is so stingy.
After a moment of silence, Shi Sui slowly said, "[System, do you know that since Gu Chenyi's incident, you haven't given me a large reward in a long time? If this continues, I'll become lazy in my studies and only want to rely on men.]"
The system knew that the man she was talking about was Chi Yan.
Damn it! I never expected that Chi Yanji would be the biggest obstacle on the host's learning path. It's one thing for him to be rich, that's just a novel setting, but how can he be so generous!
That would make our system look stingy and lose face!
[Host, last time, we maxed out Gu Chenyi's credit card. Now he can't even afford to eat in the cafeteria and has to rely on his friends for meals.]
[Oh?] Shi Sui sensed the gossip and perked up. [Don't rich kids get hundreds of thousands or even millions in living expenses every month? How come he can't afford to eat?]
The system's comment: [Do you think everyone's your ATM deskmate?]
It also stated: "[Although Gu Chenyi's family is wealthy, they do not encourage extravagance. They only give him 20 yuan in pocket money each month. Although he receives tens of millions of yuan in New Year's money, it is all managed by a foundation.]"
Look, ever since Chi Yan came along, he's been using up his 20 yuan allowance in the "only" way.
System: [His original spending was already high, and with the added cost of buying bags, clothes, and jewelry for Jiang Tianyao, he was basically broke every month, so he didn't have much money left.]
[Last time you transferred his money, he used Alipay to buy clothes for Jiang Tianyao at the mall, and the sales clerk laughed at him for pretending to be rich.]
Shi Sui understood the system's unspoken message: "[So you mean you'll only give me the timed mission next month when Gu Chenyi has another 20?]"
"Yes." The system answered without hesitation. "Host, you want Gu Chenyi to go bankrupt. He still owes money to Alipay, and we can't get his money."
[But I don't want Gu Chenyi to go bankrupt.] Shi Sui said kindly, [I do want the Gu family to go bankrupt. I don't care how much money Gu Chenyi has in his account, how about we cut off the Gu family's cash flow?]
system:[……]
Sensing the system's silence, Shi Sui said considerately, "[Never mind, I don't want to put you in a difficult position.]"
The system was moved, and the non-existent eyes transformed into rolling fried eggs.
Shi Sui: [How about this? You just said Gu Chenyi has a fund of ten million yuan for his New Year's money every year. We can deduct the money for the next mission from that fund. That shouldn't be difficult for the omnipotent and great system, right?]
System: Thank you so much, thank you for your idea.
The system considered for a moment, and in order not to dampen the host's enthusiasm for learning, it decided to go all out: [Limited-time task 2: Top 200 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; Top 100 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; Top 50 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; Top 20 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; Top 10 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; Top 3 in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund; First place in the placement exam, reward: Gu Chenyi Fund.]
System: Haha, this time I'm giving you way more than Chi Yan. Men, step aside, host, you still love studying!
Shi Sui's eyes lit up. She quickly picked up her pen, sat up straight, but—
[But Gu Chenyi's foundation has tens of millions every year, great system, don't you think you're giving too little?]
The system gritted its teeth and offered a pie-in-the-sky promise: [Host, please don't be greedy. There will be more and more in the future.]
[Then you should increase the reward for your regular tasks, otherwise I'll only want to do time-limited tasks and won't be interested in completing regular tasks.]
Not hearing a reply from the system, Shi Sui felt a little aggrieved: [The reward distribution is so skewed; doing ten thousand ordinary tasks doesn't even give as much as one limited-time task...]
[Alright, this system will increase rewards for regular tasks.] The system paused, then warned, [But host, you must not be fooled by Chi Yan.]
System: I'll draw a circle to curse you. That's right, it's you, Chi Yan. It's all because you're rich and generous, which has shaken the host's resolve to study and prompted this system to increase the task rewards again and again!
Shi Sui wrote another recommendation letter titled "I am Li Hua," and after receiving 600 yuan—well, I'm already satisfied with a three-fold price increase.
She picked up her phone to copy some more universal English essay templates, only to find that her phone was on silent and she had several unread messages on WeChat.
Xiao Youran sent her a post on a forum: "Holy crap, Shi Sui is the real heiress of the Jiang family, and Jiang Tianyao is a complete liar!"
Xiao Youran: [Shi Sui, is what's going on on the forum true?]
It's lunch break now. If it weren't for the rule against switching shifts, she would definitely have come up and asked right away.
Shi Sui replied: [It's true.]
Xiao Youran replied instantly: [Shi Sui, tell the truth, does the Jiang family tacitly approve of Jiang Tianyao so openly claiming you're an adopted daughter?]
I don't care about the Jiang family.
It's because they don't care about the Jiang family, their reputation, their marriage alliances, or anyone in the Jiang family.
That's why she's determined to tell the truth. Whether it's framing or spreading rumors, she won't let what happened in the script happen.
Shi Sui continued scrolling through her chat and discovered that Xu Chaomu had also sent her a message.
Xu Chaomu: [Shi Sui, I've organized some notes. Shall I bring them to you after school this afternoon?]
Xu Chaomu: [jpg (three thick notebooks, one for math, one for biology, and one for chemistry)]
The boy's handwriting was elegant, even better than that of calligraphy copybooks, and the drawings in his biology notebook looked exactly like they were printed out.
Full marks for neatness.
Shi Sui's heart skipped a beat: [Okay, okay, see you after school this afternoon.]
Xu Chaomu replied instantly: [Okay, see you after school.]
