Chapter 1: The First Roasted Brain
Xue Qi transmigrated into a book and became the stepmother of a 15-year-old cannon fodder girl, a marginal figure with no sense of existence.
She was originally a god chef in a food management game. As a character in the game, her behavior was controlled by the players. She diligently prepared dishes day and night. However, due to improper operation by the players, the food store was heavily in debt. She was crushed to death by the huge debt and her life ended in poverty.
Xue Qi, who had traveled through time, regained his life. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was slapped in the face.
She fell backwards uncontrollably, breaking the full-length mirror behind her.
Shards of glass pierced her arm, and her black clothes were instantly soaked with blood, but the color could not be seen.
The abuser did not let her go and grabbed her hair. The pain made Xue Qi wake up instantly.
The woman cursed:
"You little vixen, you look like a decent person. You must have spent a lot of money on this face, didn't you? Do you think that you can sleep soundly just because you seduced my brother and became Mrs. Qin? You're a widow at thirty, and you're a stepmother to my fifteen-year-old niece. Is that an honor? You can help my brother raise the baby and get a hundred thousand yuan a month for living expenses. I must get custody of Tiantian. This money doesn't belong to you, don't even think about it."
The woman who abused her was called Qin Mei, the younger sister of the original owner's husband, Mr. Qin. She was 35 years old and had been divorced four times. She was involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs. She had been kicked out of the house by Mr. Qin a long time ago, but she appeared after Mr. Qin's death, wanting to fight for the inheritance that Xue Qi was about to inherit.
Qin Mei is a man of great flesh and a violent aura.
Mr. Qin married Xue Qi when he was in the late stage of cancer. Their marriage was a contractual one and they were not actually husband and wife.
Mr. Qin married Xue Qi just to find someone to help him take care of his daughter.
He was very smart. In order to let Xue Qi take care of Qin Tiantian, he arranged everything before he died.
He left behind a legacy of 30 million yuan. As long as Xue Qi raised and cared for Qin Tiantian, she would receive 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses. After Qin Tiantian completed her studies, the remaining money would all go into her account.
According to the law that female cannon fodder will die if she provokes the heroine, Qin Tiantian, the female cannon fodder, also became extremely unfortunate after getting close to the heroine of the novel.
In the original novel, the hero and heroine have a golden finger that can give anyone in this world a "personality". People who are "marked" as villain cannon fodder will uncontrollably develop towards the personality and plot, and become tools to promote the emotional line of the hero and heroine.
After Qin Tiantian was "marked" as a cannon fodder by the heroine, she was covered with a halo of bad luck and her life began to move towards the direction of a cannon fodder girl.
Xue Qi, the young stepmother, was affected and gave the custody to Qin Mei.
Qin Mei obtained the custody of Qin Tiantian and received a monthly living allowance of 100,000 yuan, but she did not raise Qin Tiantian well. Instead, she abused her in various ways and even mentally suppressed her.
Qin Tiantian has a very high talent for skiing. At the age of fifteen, she has won many awards and brought glory to the school. She is the "Ice Princess" of Yanjing No. 1 Middle School.
Qin Tiantian was influenced by the character of "Mark" and was exploited by her aunt, losing her virginity and becoming a bad girl.
She owed a loan for plastic surgery, was tricked by her aunt into selling herself, and was finally caught for serving a customer, and contracted a very embarrassing x disease.
The girl who was once known as the Ice Princess and brought glory to the school was expelled from school.
Afterwards, because he was jealous of the heroine of Grey Swan, he wanted to infect her with the disease. After his plan failed, he was subjected to online violence and his life was completely ruined, and he ended up committing suicide.
Thinking of this, Xue Qi immediately became alarmed.
Hand over custody? Impossible!
Although she had no feelings for her stepdaughter Qin Tiantian, was it Qin Tiantian that she was about to hand over?
No, it's money, 30 million, hard cash.
It’s okay to kill her husband, but it’s not okay to steal her 30 million!
Anyone who wants to stop her from inheriting 30 million is a bad person!
"You want custody?" Xue Qi stared at the fierce woman's face and slapped her: "Dream on."
The slap was so powerful that it sent Qin Mei, the fat shrew, flying away.
Qin Mei fell against the wall and sat on the ground gasping for breath in pain.
She hadn't expected the usually delicate Xue Qi to suddenly be so strong. She endured the pain and cursed, "Little vixen, if you don't give me the custody of that girl, you'll never live in peace again. You might even end up dead in the wilderness."
"Threatening me?"
Xue Qi rolled up his sleeves, walked over, kicked Qin Mei in the face, then grabbed the bottle of alcohol on the bathroom sink and sprayed it directly into her eyes.
Qin Mei hadn't expected Xue Qi to suddenly become a completely different person. Not only was he bolder, but he was also much stronger. This attack was so sudden that she couldn't dodge it in time. Her eyes burned, and she covered them and cried out in pain.
Qin Mei curled up on the ground, covering her face and begging for mercy.
Xue Qi stepped over her face, opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
After walking out, Xue Qi found himself in a funeral home, and today was Mr. Qin's funeral.
The original owner's memories also emerged bit by bit.
Xue Qi, who was reborn, quickly calmed down, called the funeral home staff, called Mr. Qin's assistant Cheng Kai, and then called the police.
The police arrived quickly, recorded Qin Mei's statement, and took her away.
Xue Qi handled this series of unexpected events extremely neatly and efficiently, leaving Cheng Kai stunned.
When Xue Qi came out of the bathroom, his hands were covered in blood, but he didn't say a word. He calmly asked him to make a phone call and taught him how to give a reconciliation to the police.
As soon as the police arrived, the woman, who had seemed so cold and stoic just moments before, suddenly became tearful and began to sob softly as she recounted to the police the tragic experiences of Qin Mei, who coerced and even violently treated her. She even trembled during the interview and nearly fainted before the female police officer helped her sit down nearby.
After the police left, the woman suddenly acted as if nothing had happened and ordered them to do their work in an orderly manner. Now she even sat down to eat ice cream.
While eating ice cream, Xue Qi digested the information he had just received in his mind and thought about what to do next.
After all, she had finally broken free from the control of the "player" and could finally do things based on her own consciousness. This feeling of freedom was so great.
Cheng Kai was Mr. Qin's assistant during his lifetime and knew her quite well.
At this moment, she was eating ice cream calmly, with no expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something, like a different person.
He reminded her, "You sent Qin Mei to jail today and escaped, but if she gets out again and comes looking for trouble with you, what will you do? You're still young, there's no need to make an enemy of that kind of person just for Qin Tiantian. She has no moral compass, and who knows what she might do to you if she goes crazy. My advice to you is to give up the money, take the funeral money, and leave, and live your life well."
Xue Qi continued eating ice cream without even looking at Cheng Kai: "Come on, I'll beat you up."
Who is afraid of whom?
In the food management game, in order to save money, the player did not hire a security guard and used her as a security guard. Not only did he give Xue Qi the talent of "God of Chef", he also gave her the talent of "Force".
After she came here, the two talents also followed.
So she has no problem protecting herself.
Furthermore, we live in a society ruled by law, and she is not affected by the "mark", so she is not afraid at all.
Those who came to pay their respects were all Mr. Qin's partners and friends during his lifetime. They were either rich or noble, and the money they gave was at least 300,000 yuan.
In the original novel, the young stepmother Xue Qi gave up her 30 million inheritance and returned home with 300,000 yuan. However, her cruel parents not only took the 300,000 yuan from her card, but also sold her to a domestic violence man in exchange for a 200,000 yuan betrothal gift.
She gave birth to three daughters for the man she abused, and died of complications during childbirth of her fourth son.
Between 300,000 and 30 million, Xue Qi is not stupid, so of course he would choose 30 million!
Wouldn't it be nice to get a legacy of 30 million and then just sit back, eat, drink and win from now on?
Thinking about her previous life, she worked diligently day and night to cook, and worked as a chef and a security guard. She could be called a social animal in the game, but in the end she died of poverty!
She doesn't want to be a hardworking person anymore, she wants to become a multi-millionaire by relying on her daughter!
For the sake of money and a good life, she is willing to cook for Qin Tiantian, a female cannon fodder, for the rest of her life!
As long as Qin Tiantian wants, she can cook the stars in the sky and stew the moon in the sea for her!
In wind and rain, for 30 million, she is willing to melt this stepdaughter with love!
Cheng Kai was stunned by Xue Qi's answer, then changed the subject and said, "Half of the guests who came to pay their respects have already arrived. In addition, Miss Qin Tiantian is here too."
Xue Qi immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, walked out of the lounge, and went to the mourning hall.
Cheng Kai stared at Xue Qi's departing back and felt a little sympathetic towards her.
Qin Mei is a gangster who is involved in pornography, gambling and drugs. Can she withstand the shrew's evil intentions?
Xue Qi walked into the mourning hall and saw Qin Tiantian kneeling in front of Mr. Qin's body with her eyes red from crying.
The girl was tall, slender, and very pretty. She wore a black dress that accentuated her fair skin. At only fifteen, she already had the slender curves of a mature woman.
A perfect white, rich and beautiful lady.
At around eleven o'clock, several students aged fifteen or sixteen walked into the funeral home and came to the door of the mourning hall.
Xue Qi was greeting guests at the door when one of the girls approached her and whispered, "Hello, sister. I'm Liu Ruyu, Qin Tiantian's classmate. The other class leaders and I learned that Tiantian's father had passed away, so we came to visit."
Xue Qi immediately became alarmed.
The big money grabber is coming! The biggest obstacle to her becoming a rich woman is here!
Liu Ruyu, the heroine of the original novel, has a golden finger that can "mark" the personality of passersby.
If Xue Qi hadn't heard her name, he would have had no idea that the girl in front of him was the heroine.
The heroine seems to be underdeveloped, with a skinny body, a sallow face, a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her nose, and slightly protruding buck teeth.
She was not tall, and wore plain and old clothes with a neat high ponytail. She had no temperament of a heroine at all.
No wonder she is called the "Gray Swan" in the original novel. Compared with the rich and beautiful Qin Tiantian, the heroine Liu Ruyu has no highlights at all.
Realizing that this was the heroine who would kill himself and Qin Tiantian, Xue Qi became alert.
Before she chased Liu Ruyu away, she calmly took the red envelope from the girl and put it in her pocket. Then she smiled and said, "So you're Tiantian's classmates. Tiantian can't see anyone today. I appreciate your kindness. It must have been difficult for you to come here. I'll ask Assistant Cheng to take you back to school."
The red envelope in Liu Ruyu's hand was taken away, and he was ordered to leave.
As smart as she is, she immediately said, "You are Tiantian's mother, right? You look so young! Tiantian told me that you not only stole her father but also her inheritance. I think she must have misunderstood you. You are so beautiful and care about her, how could you do such a thing? Sister, please let me in to see Tiantian."
Are you starting to complain now?
Is this idiot who speaks so stupidly and mentally retarded relying on the heroine's golden finger to act lawless?
Fortunately, she was determined to stick to the 30 million and was not affected by the heroine's "mark".
Liu Ruyu thought this would anger Xue Qi, but Xue Qi was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a frown, "Classmate, it sounds like you're telling tales. Don't do that next time, or people will think you're uneducated."
Immediately, a classmate jumped out to explain on Liu Ruyu's behalf: "Sister, please don't misunderstand. Liu Ruyu has a straightforward personality and speaks her mind. She means no harm. Qin Tiantian did say those words. This is a fact, and we all know it."
Liu Ruyu's face turned pale, and she quickly adjusted herself: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't think before I spoke..."
Just then, Qin Tiantian walked out of the mourning hall.
Qin Tiantian stared at the female protagonist of Grey Swan: "Liu Ruyu, please don't insult Gengzhi. Gengzhi has provoked you, so why do you insult it like this? You are just here to complain on purpose and still try to make excuses!"
Liu Ruyu looked at the tall girl in front of him, gleaming in the sun. A sudden realization struck him, and he held back his tears as he said, "Tiantian, your father went bankrupt and passed away. I know you're having a hard time right now, so I mobilized the entire class to donate and raised three thousand yuan. I hope to help you solve your current urgent needs."
Qin Tiantian's face turned dark.
When Xue Qi heard Liu Ruyu's words, his brows tightened.
Good job.
This female protagonist of Gray Swan actually broadcast the news of Qin Tiantian's family bankruptcy and her father's death to the whole class.
It seems like he is a good person, but in fact, isn't he just provoking the little girl?
This is killing people and destroying their hearts.
Qin Tiantian was indeed furious and clenched her fists: "Liu Ruyu, are you crazy? What does our family's affairs have to do with you?"
Liu Ruyu was so frightened by her roar that his shoulders shook.
The male classmate beside her couldn't stand it anymore and accused her:
"Qin Tiantian, don't go too far! Do you know how much effort Liu Ruyu put in to get these three thousand yuan for you?"
"That's right, don't be ungrateful for what you have."
Qin Tiantian's rage grew even stronger. She stepped forward and slapped Liu Ruyu in the face. "I warned you not to meddle in my affairs. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Don't you just want to make me lose face in school?"
Liu Ruyu covered her red face and said aggrievedly, "Tiantian, why do you think so?"
This female protagonist of Grey Swan is really good at pretending to be wronged!
When the two were arguing, Xue Qi saw a few lines of small golden characters appear on Liu Ruyu's head:
[Qin Tiantian's anger and jealousy have been detected. Do you want to mark them?]
[After confirming the "Female Cannon Fodder" mark, Qin Tiantian's subsequent behavior must conform to the female cannon fodder image. If it does not match the female cannon fodder character, you, as the female protagonist, will be punished. If you successfully mark the character, you can transform from a gray swan to a white swan.]
【Are you sure?】
[You have marked "Confirmed". Loading the cannon fodder character setting for Qin Tiantian...]
Soon, Xue Qi saw a line of small words appear on the head of his stepdaughter Qin Tiantian:
[Marked as "female cannon fodder", lose 10 points of luck.]
Only after Liu Ruyu left did Xue Qi understand what those small subtitles meant.
Qin Tiantian turned back to the mourning hall, and Xue Qi called her: "Qin Tiantian, let's talk."
Qin Tiantian didn't give her a good look at all. Her face was full of anger. She said angrily: "Do you think I will be grateful to you for helping me to confront Liu Ruyu just now? Not at all. Do you think that by sending my aunt to the police station, you can get the money my father left for you? You are dreaming! My aunt is my relative, not you. You are just a vixen who seduced my father! As long as I don't follow you, you can't get that money!"
Xue Qi frowned.
This girl lived with Qin Mei for a while, and her mind was corrupted a lot.
