Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Goal of Six Months to Reach the Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Goal of Six Months to Reach the Pinnacle of Life Jiang Nanshu joyfully sat alone at the vast dining table, eating a feast of rare delicacies, prepared to entertain Lu Qingyan. Since he didn’t eat, it seemed her stomach would reap the benefits.
“Tongzi, are you there? How’s my progress, am I just a few Disgust Values away from one billion?”
After a few seconds, the system logged on, and a mechanical voice coldly said, “Host, Disgust Value is checked once every six months. Are you sure you want to check? The newcomer reward reported your Disgust Value progress once, but it will not happen again.”
Jiang Nanshu hesitated for a few seconds, then firmly nodded, “Check. Although the goal is six months, I think I can complete the task within one month.”
“Okay, the current Disgust Value is 94. The next check is in six months.”
“Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!! Only six points away! This thing is so easy! I’ll get it done in six days!” Jiang Nanshu danced with excitement.
The Jiang Family servants nearby looked on with pity and relief. “Ah, the young miss is going crazy with joy because she hasn’t called off the engagement.”
So they recorded a video and sent it out.
Caption: Haven’t seen the young miss laugh like this in a long time.
Jiang Yunchuan immediately put the video in the brothers’ group chat.
[Four Beasts of Beijing]
Jiang Yunchuan: [@Lu Qingyan, Brother Yan, how could you change your mind so suddenly? Isn’t your heartthrob back in the country? Don’t you owe an explanation? Look at Jiang Nanshu going crazy with happiness because you didn’t call off the engagement.]
Cheng An: [666, the cancellation didn’t go through? Did Jiang’s girl attempt suicide in front of you again? I say Su Ran is better. If you’d gotten together in the first place, there’d be no Jiang Nanshu to speak of.]
Yang Jiashu: [Man, Brother Yan is too miserable. What era are we in that you still have to put up with an arranged marriage? Grandpa Lu simply sought out a fortune, came down the mountain, and arranged your marriage against your will. It’s really… outrageous.]
There was a heated discussion in the group.
After a long while, Lu Qingyan finally replied: [My decision to call off the engagement has nothing to do with Su Ran.]
They just thought he was putting on a brave front, for the unattainable is why Bai Yueguang is Bai Yueguang.
…
That afternoon, Mrs. Jiang returned.
Jiang Nanshu was watching TV in the living room and obediently greeted her, “Mom.”
Mrs. Jiang’s gaze was complex, and she nodded before hurrying to find Mr. Jiang.
In the original story, Jiang Nanshu’s character was wildly possessive over Lu Qingyan and acted sycophantically toward her blood relatives, hoping to earn her family’s support with her behavior.
But the truth revealed that only the original owner of the body had twisted values in the entire family.
Jiang Nanshu held her chin in contemplation. Now with the full story as her ace, she decided not to tell them their fates. A villainess must have the resolve of a villainess.
She had it all figured out. Anyway, the Jiang Family was meant to be the biggest cannon fodder in this book. Under the disastrous management of the psycho big brother Jiang Yisen, the mighty Jiang Group would declare bankruptcy. Her brothers would end up dead or maimed, and the original body, after this failed suicide and broken engagement, would become even more twisted mentally, setting up all sorts of traps for Su Ran, only to end up imprisoned with gathered evidence of her crimes.
These matters weren’t impossible to speed up, turning her into a whispering demon to everyone in the future: I knew it all along, but I chose not to tell.
Just thinking about it could max out the hatred value—so exhilarating!
“But wait, Tongzi.” Suddenly, an idea struck Jiang Nanshu: “According to the original plot, we should’ve already broken up by now, so what’s the male lead up to?”
The system also fell silent before sluggishly replying: “Perhaps, you haven’t been disgusting enough for him to want to kick you away. Host, you should reflect on whether there’s a problem with yourself, rather than questioning the system for everything. Tongzi’s life also matters.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Okay, okay, your masterful PUA skills are crystal clear to me.
“Nanshu, your mother is going to take you to the hospital for a checkup now. Change your clothes and go out with her,” Mr. Jiang came downstairs, his face still stern.
Jiang Nanshu was still somewhat afraid of this stern little old man, but then she remembered his tragic ending in the book and sighed to herself, “Considering the delicious meals every day and the hundred thousand yuan in pocket money each month, I will definitely pick out the best mental hospital for you!”
Mr. Jiang’s eyes widened in shock, then he turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, “Take her quickly! Especially get her head checked out, forget it… I’ll go too.”
So, it was rare for Jiang Nanshu to go out with her parents at the same time.
Because of this, Mrs. Jiang even booked a neurology consultation and psychological counseling for her.
Was she considered to have psychological health problems just because she jumped into a river?
The next second, Jiang Nanshu suddenly realized that the original host suffered from depression because of unrequited love, so when filling out the form, she filled it out carelessly, and there was no escaping the diagnosis of severe depression.
She waited contentedly for the results.
The psychologist, holding the neurological results and the psychological questionnaire, came to a grave conclusion, “Your daughter is not only depressed, but also kind of lacking in morals… So just let her be crazy for a while, don’t restrain her, treat her with tolerance, and no matter how detestable she becomes, offer care. The love of family is very important.”
Mr. Jiang felt aged.
He was perplexed about suddenly being able to hear his daughter’s inner thoughts.
The most important thing was that Mrs. Jiang was diagnosed with mammary nodules at the hospital, and the likelihood of it developing into cancer was inevitable, so what they heard was all true.
So he sent a message to the family group, “Your sister has psychological issues, be nicer to her.”
Everyone from the Jiang Family was there except Jiang Nanshu.
There was only one attitude among them: Impossible.
Jiang Nanshu popped up from behind him and said eerily, “What’s the matter? Are you guarding against me so strictly? Are you plotting to steal poop?”
Mr. Jiang: “…”
“Give me three minutes, pull me in! Penetrate the inner circle, make my presence felt, let you see me every day, hate me, hahaha, anger you to death.”
There, a perfectly fine girl had indeed gone crazy with depression.
He began to reflect, wondering if they had been too intolerant towards Jiang Nanshu, and that was why she turned out this way.
So, clenching his teeth, he added Jiang Nanshu to the group.
Jiang Nanshu greeted them immediately: “Add me to the poop-stealing squad.”
Everyone: “…”
She didn’t care how they felt; she was exhilarated.
She tagged all five brothers and her pretend sister to make sure they all knew she had joined the group.
Yeah, what the original host couldn’t do in three years, she did in three minutes. She was really awesome.
…
The next day
Jiang Nanshu was going back to school; she was now 19, in her first year of college, while Lu Qingyan and Jiang Yunchuan were two years her senior, in their third year.
When she was sixteen, she was determined to make Lu Qingyan remember her name, so she studied desperately to attend the same university as Lu Qingyan… but in the end, she still got in through the back door.
And now, the story of her truly attempting suicide for Lu Qingyan was spreading wildly on campus forums, most of which were just watching the excitement. Ever since she was brought back, there had been a constant stream of messages about her in the Beijing Circle, mostly calling her foolish, laughing at how her adoptive parents ran a pig farm, how no matter how rich her clothes were, it could not cover up the stench of a pigsty, that her engagement to Lu Qingyan was doomed to be broken, and that she couldn’t even compare to a finger of Jiang Leyi. She, a real lady raised in a grand family, naturally could not match a wild chicken from the countryside.
Due to these various factors, the original host blackened, starting to attack anyone indiscriminately.
No wonder she was universally despised.
However, for Jiang Nanshu, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides, this was quite satisfying, thankful that she was only increasing the Disgust Value and not any goodwill value. Otherwise, going from -89 to 100 would be way too exhausting for her.
