Chapter 1 Gold Finger
“Tick-tock.”
Raindrops slanted in from the half-open window and hit her face.
Wen Nianchu was lying on the hospital bed, with an IV tube inserted into her thin wrist. She closed her eyes and listened devoutly to the sound of rain outside.
It was raining outside the window, and the raindrops hit the glass. She thought it was funeral music.
The sound of rain is getting louder and louder.
It was hurried and frantic, but she was unable to reach out and close the window.
Because she is dying.
Just as Wen Nianchu was thinking of this, the sound of high heels came closer and the door of the ward was kicked open roughly.
"Sister, I'm here to see you."
Wen Wan, her half-sister.
The other person's voice was as sweet as honey, and he held a bouquet of big red roses in his hand:
"Do you like it? Your favorite flower."
The roses were warm and bright, forming a sharp contrast with Wen Nianchu lying on the hospital bed.
Wen Nianchu raised his head, trembled his lips twice, but couldn't say anything.
"The doctor said you won't last a few days."
Wenwan leaned over with a gentle smile and threw the bright red roses in her hand at her. The petals scattered like withered blood, staining her hospital gown.
"Sister, do you still remember?"
"When I first entered the Wen family, you were so high and mighty that even looking at me was considered dirty."
She chuckled softly, but there was poison in her eyes.
"At that time, I thought, one day, I will make you feel like you've been trampled into the mud. I will take away everything from you, your father, your money, and even your man."
She leaned over, and her voice rang in Wen Nianchu's ears:
“And now, I’ve finally done it.”
"My dad says he's sick just seeing you, and my mom wishes you'd die sooner rather than later, and your fiancé is my bootlicker."
She used the word "I" when she spoke, just to disgust the person in front of her.
Wen Nianchu just thought she was boring and childish. Because of her illness, she had to work very hard to raise her head slightly. After Wen Wan finished her provocative words, her eyes finally met hers.
Wen Wan was wearing a new Chanel dress today, and the diamond necklace around her neck was the eighteenth birthday gift her father gave her.
"roll."
Wen Nianchu said this word hoarsely while enduring the pain.
Wen Wan was not angry after hearing this, but seemed very excited:
"You can't stand it? It's not over yet." Wen Wan stood admiring her new manicure. "After you leave, Wen Group, the old house, and all the collections will be mine."
"Oh, sister, let me tell you a secret. Your stomach cancer is because I've been having the nanny poison the beauty-enhancing bird's nest you drink every day since I brought you home."
Wen Wan was looking forward to seeing Wen Nianchu's collapsed expression. She knew that if Wen Nianchu knew the truth, he would definitely not be able to remain calm.
Sure enough, Wen Nianchu's chest heaved violently after she finished speaking, and the monitor on the side issued a rapid alarm at the same time.
When a person is about to die, his explosive power is the strongest.
Her trembling fingers slowly reached under the pillow and suddenly grasped a cold object.
Before Wen Wan could react, she felt a sharp object against her throat.
Wen Nianchu's weak voice sounded in her ears, with a creepy calmness:
"Since you enjoy poisoning so much, why don't we... taste death together?"
"Neither of us won."
Wen Wan opened her eyes wide in horror and wanted to scream but no sound came out.
She saw the light in her sister's eyes fade, and her own vision began to blur.
Two equally frail bodies gradually lost their warmth on the hospital beds.
*
Wen Nianchu's consciousness floated in the darkness.
She thought about how her glorious twenty-four years of life had collapsed step by step.
First, her father took Wen Wan, his illegitimate daughter, home, then her fiancé Qin Ye betrayed her, and finally, even the things her mother left her were taken away by Wen Wan.
It all started because of her sudden advanced stomach cancer.
What a vicious plot.
She had been on guard against her stepmother and Wen Wan all her life, but she never expected that the nanny who cooked porridge for her every day would mix carcinogens into her bird's nest spoonful by spoonful.
She felt cold, bitingly cold, as if she had fallen into the deep sea, and even her breath was deprived by the cold.
But at this moment——
A cool kiss gently landed on her forehead.
So light, so cautious, as if afraid of breaking her.
Then, Wen Nianchu felt something warm falling on her face drop by drop.
...are tears.
Someone is crying.
Cry for her.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.
In a trance, she heard someone whispering in a hoarse voice.
"Wake up..."
"Please."
The voice was suppressed and trembling, as if it was squeezed out from the chest, carrying with it heart-wrenching pain.
Is there someone crying for her?
Drop after drop.
It's like I want to shed all the tears in this life.
Wen Nianchu's fingers moved slightly, trying to raise his hand and wipe away his tears.
But she couldn't do it.
Finally, she felt something cool against her lips.
...Huh??? Who are you?
Her soul floated in the air, watching the back of a strange man, who was holding her body and crying bitterly, and kissed her affectionately.
But she couldn't see the man's face clearly.
[Ding! The cheating system has been activated!]
Wen Nianchu came to his senses, opened his eyes suddenly, and found himself standing in a pure white space.
A translucent light screen was floating in front of her, scrolling through the images of her short life.
"Where is this...?"
[Host Wen Nianchu, 24 years old, cause of death: advanced gastric cancer] The mechanical voice calmly stated, [Testing has revealed that your world is a popular novel titled "After Returning to a Wealthy Family, I Became the Beloved Daughter of the Group." You are the vicious female supporting character in the original novel.]
The image on the light screen finally turned into a poster.
Her sister, Wenwan, stood in the center of the poster, wearing a pure white dress and a sweet smile. She was surrounded by three men with very different temperaments, each of them handsome, their gazes fixed on her with either deep affection or doting.
Wen Nianchu's gaze was fixed on one of the men's faces.
Qin Ye.
Her ex-fiancé, the man who had been cold and distant to her, was now gently holding her waist, with a tenderness in his eyes that she had never seen before.
What’s even more ironic is that the person standing on Wen Wan’s other side was the private doctor she had hired at a high salary.
No wonder her health is getting worse.
Wen Nianchu: "Vicious female supporting role?"
Are you kidding?
Is she vicious?
She is probably the kindest person in the Wen family.
The system ignored her question and continued:
[In the original novel, you, out of jealousy of your sister, constantly oppose her, ultimately becoming deserted and tragically dying in a hospital bed. Meanwhile, Wen Wan, the heroine, is beloved by all the male characters, inherits the Wen Group, and reaches the pinnacle of her life.]
The scene switches again to the gentle wedding scene, where several men kneel on one knee and compete to put a diamond ring on her finger.
Wen Nianchu had no expression on his face:
"Wen Wan is not dead?"
That blow of hers didn't kill her?
The system was silent: "She has the aura of the protagonist of this book. Even if you kill her, she can be resurrected by the bookstore manager."
"Then what are you doing here? I already have an immortal body." Wen Nianchu folded his arms and sneered, "Are you here to show off to me? I'm about to be reincarnated, and I still have to look at this unlucky thing?"
[Because your popularity in this book is high, the bookstore manager would like to give you a new chance to be reborn according to your popularity]
【Accept the mission, go back to the past, and change your fate】
Wen Nianchu sneered:
"Is there no such thing as a free benefit in this world?"
"What do you want me to do?"
[Host. You are very clever. Your mission is to humiliate the villains of the original novel. If you attack and harm them according to our mission, we will grant you a chance to be reborn.]
The light screen switched, and a photo of a man appeared.
He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a black suit, his eyes as sinister as a bloodthirsty beast.
Even if it's just a photo, the feeling of oppression is suffocating.
“Isn’t this…?”
Xie Yue. The insane villain who destroyed the Wen family in the original novel.
The system is introduced.
"The Wen family has fallen?" Wen Nianchu clapped his hands and laughed, "It's really gratifying."
[You can sign an agreement with me to go back six years, to the time when Xie Yue was at his most miserable, to trample on his dignity, crush his pride, and make him remember forever the feeling of being trampled under your feet.]
