Chapter 36: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (36)
Gu Ci didn't know how she got into the ward.
The doctor said, "Say goodbye to your wife."
Saying goodbye? How could this be? Wasn't he in a vegetative state? Isn't this the worst possible outcome? He had clearly forced himself to accept this worst possible result.
Why did God have to take her away?
Lying in the hospital bed is his wife.
"Sisi".
Gu Ci carefully walked to the bedside and gently touched Wen Wan's face.
"Aci, I'm fine, I'm not in pain."
Wen Wan saw Gu Ci crying. This was the first time she had ever seen Gu Ci cry. It was because of her. Wen Wan wanted to reach out and wipe away his tears, but her body was too heavy and she couldn't lift her hand.
"Aci, listen to me. Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan still need you. You must protect them well."
"Hand over the person who hit me to the police and let the law judge him. Don't get your hands dirty with blood."
"And...find a woman who loves you and live your life with her. Don't wait for me, forget about me."
After managing to say her last few words with her broken body, Wen Wan felt so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
"Aci, be happy!"
These were Wen Wan's last words to Gu Ci. Wen Wan's soul floated out of her body and watched Gu Ci weep because of her death. Wen Wan felt very sad.
However, in her soul form, she couldn't even shed tears.
[Host, the new body is ready. We should go.]
Wen Wan reached out, wanting to touch Gu Ci one last time, but her hand passed right through Gu Ci's body.
"Aci, forget about me, be happy!"
"Don't go, Sisi...don't go...Sisi...don't leave me..."
...
Five years have passed.
Wen Wan finally came back to life.
The first thing he did after surviving was to curse the system's ancestors for eighteen generations.
That bastard claimed his body was already repaired, but as soon as she became a ghost, she discovered that this dog had lied to her and just wanted her to choose to die at that time.
She waited five years before that bastard finally restored her body.
Her soul has been nurtured in the system space.
"I'd be a dog if I ever trusted you again."
System: [There's no way around it. Do you think a suitable body can be created so easily? Besides, for your comfort, I even created this body exactly as you originally were, with every single data point accurate.]
This is the only good thing that this damn system has ever done.
Wen Wan quickly adapted to her new body, and the system even created a fake ID for her to ensure she could evade all detection methods.
But... I have no money.
The system gave her a mobile phone.
That bastard didn't give her a single penny. Was he going to let her starve to death?
"You bastard, couldn't you have given me some cheat codes? Other transmigrators can fight to the end, but I was killed by a motorcycle. I could have lived a couple more years as a vegetable, but you still lied to me."
"And before I started the mission, they promised me that I would die and then enjoy a happy trip and life. But after working so hard for so long, I didn't get a single penny. My quality of life plummeted, and I might even starve to death."
"Tell me, what use are you?"
system:【……】
There's no way to refute it; what the host said is the truth.
After cursing the system, Wen Wan asked, "You said that after I left, how is Gu Ci? How are Jiao Jiao and Xuan Xuan?"
System: [You can try searching online; you should still be able to find it.]
Wen Wan searched online for Gu Ci, the president of Gu's Group.
The previous paragraphs had been about President Gu's business success and the significant progress made by the Gu Group's new projects. However, when Wen Wan turned to the next paragraph, she frowned.
— Qin Sisi, the wife of the president of the Gu Group, died in a car accident. The perpetrator was convicted of intentional homicide and was eventually sentenced to ten years and three months in prison.
Mr. Gu was so grief-stricken that his hair turned completely white overnight.
Wen Wan looked at Gu Ci in the photo. He looked exactly the same, but his black hair had turned white.
Wen Wan was truly furious, wishing she could drag the system out and stab it with voodoo dolls.
"Is this what you meant by him being happy? You bastard, you're a complete idiot."
system:【……】
According to its data analysis, Gu Ci will definitely be angry after discovering that his host lied to him, and will then fall in love with the female lead.
Who would have thought that Gu Ci was so deeply in love with his host that he didn't even resent his host after seeing the DNA test results? Meanwhile, the female lead, Shen Li, left the Gu family out of guilt and returned to the Shen Group.
The male and female leads never even meet, let alone develop a romantic relationship.
"Is Gu Ci's eye better?" Wen Wan asked again.
System: [Okay, you were completely healed a little over two months after you left.]
Wen Wan remained silent for a long time, then her eyes reddened, and she sat down by the roadside, hugging her knees, and started crying. "You bastard, I told you to live well, why did you have to do this? I told you to forget me, I'm just a liar, why do you remember a liar?"
"Damn it, you're so stupid, so incredibly stupid."
"Waaaaah..."
The system watched its host vent, unable to offer any words of comfort.
Once Wen Wan had cried herself out and calmed down, the system finally got down to business.
[Now I need to tell you something. First, the male and female leads were supposed to have a happy ending, but you died tragically before the male lead even fell in love with the female lead. You've become the quintessential "white moonlight," and the male and female leads are about to have a bad ending. The mission progress bar has plummeted to 40%.]
Readers are now vehemently criticizing the book's development; they are extremely angry.
After all, whether you're a fan of the official pairing or a fan of the cult pairing, it all ended badly.
We've offended both sides.
The male lead is in such a miserable state that even his fans aren't getting any credit.
[We need to think about how to salvage the readers' goodwill. I've analyzed it, and the official pairing is the best way. Could you try to bring them together?]
After all, the cult-like couple has already completely broken up, so it's not like they'd dig up Qin Sisi's body, is it?
That will bring retribution.
“No.” Wen Wan immediately refused.
System: [You must go. First, do you want Gu Jiao and Gu Xuan to become motherless children? They've already lost you; do you want their mother to remain absent from their lives forever?]
Secondly, do you want Gu Ci to live a lonely life until the end?
“I can go and keep him company.”
Do you even have the right to say that? You have absolutely no connection with him now.
Wen Yan: "..."
[Finally, although I said that if your reader favorability drops to 0, you'll be eliminated by the readers' resentment, you'll still be eliminated if you fail to complete the final mission.]
Wen Wan: "You dog, you dog, you're a dog..."
System: Go ahead and curse it; it'll admit it this time.
"Then what do you think I can do? I have nothing now, I don't even have a chance to get close to Gu Ci, and how am I supposed to help them? We haven't developed any feelings for each other in five years, I suspect you're scamming me."
System: [Because the male lead is blind, he didn't recognize the female lead, and because you were too good to him, he fell in love with you.]
[Shen Li, feeling guilty towards you, is unwilling to acknowledge her identity. She doesn't want to steal your husband and children after you died in her place, so even knowing that Gu Xuan and Gu Jiao are her children, she still refuses to admit it.]
Wen Yan: "..."
They're all incredibly stupid.
She deserved it, okay? If she hadn't had people pretend to bully Shen Li, none of this would have happened. Nobody can be blamed for this.
Wen Wan was numb; she didn't want to face any of this.
Looking at the zero yuan left in her phone account, she thought, "It's not a question of whether or not to match the male and female leads together, but whether I'll starve to death."
Do you know any ways to make money?
I am a system, not a lucky cat.
"I can't do anything except write books, but writing online novels isn't something you can do overnight. It looks like I'm really going to starve to death."
system:【……】
Even a hero can be brought down by a lack of money. "Am I really going to end up washing dishes in a restaurant?"
