The target has already left Yu Family Village. Xiang Wan's current task is to strive to get into the best middle school in the county, fulfilling the original owner's love of learning. As for Li Mu and Shi Chen, she can deal with them when they meet. After all, Li Mu is now lame, and Shi Chen's whereabouts are unknown. According to the plot's development, the woman who ruined the original owner's later life will definitely appear at some point, and Xiang Wan needs to gather her strength to exact revenge in the same way this woman treated the original owner.
After the Hope Primary School was built, all the idle children in the village were sent there, including Xiao Pang and his friends. Xiang Wan's academic ability far surpassed that of her classmates, gaining her a new group of loyal fans.
Well, what can I do? My charm is just too great.
The system silently covered its face, its expression one of unbearable disapproval, though Xiang Wan couldn't see it.
Xiang Wan saw Li Mu again when she got to high school with excellent grades. He was invited by the school as a special guest to attend the opening ceremony.
In order to gain a good reputation and clear Li Mu's name, the Li family sponsored the high school with a considerable amount of money.
"Tsk tsk, money really talks. They don't even look at what this person has done in the past. They just pay for it and everyone else has to cater to them."
"Hehe, Xiao Qi, you're still too naive," Xiang Wan sighed. "Do you think school is the kind of place where you can treat someone like a father just by paying money? That would sound terrible if word got out. There must be some kind of vested interest behind this, you just don't know it."
"Oh, you knew that too?"
Xiang Wan smiled and said, "In his past life, Li Mu was able to get people out of school and so many rich and powerful people sought him out. Do you think money alone can make things happen?"
When people are starving, they'll do anything to get food. When they're cold, their only goal is to stay warm. But now, once basic needs are met, people seek ways to enjoy life, like fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women. When these are readily available, the deepest desires hidden within human nature begin to surface. Some enjoy the highs of drugs, some are interested in exploring the differences between various beautiful women, and some even find pleasure in dismembering human bodies. Although these things once only existed in people's fantasies, if one day someone could provide the means to achieve them, do you believe no one would want to try them?
After a pause, Xiang Wan continued, "Don't underestimate human nature. It can be extremely good or extremely evil. Someone who appears to be a great benefactor on the surface may be extremely wicked in private. Someone who appears to be extremely vicious on the surface may have performed the most ordinary acts of kindness in private."
People usually just like and tease children, especially little girls. But have you ever thought about who those with unfulfilled desires, or those with unique tastes, would target first when they want to satisfy their selfish desires? A delicate, soft-bodied girl is easier to seduce than a beautiful, mature, and difficult-to-reach woman. Therefore, once Li Mu turned this into an industry, he could, on the one hand, win over those seemingly respectable but actually despicable big shots, and on the other hand, use them as leverage to force these big shots to do other things for him. And those he won over, once on Li Mu's pirate ship, couldn't get off and could only collude with him.
Therefore, in her previous life, as the original owner of the body and other girls, she faced so many difficulties. Even if she told the truth, she would only become a source of gossip for the public and would have no other chance to turn her life around.
The root of all this is Li Mu.
Everyone knows what he did in Yujia Village, yet he pretends to be ignorant and even tries to fawn over him like an honored guest. Besides a conflict of interest, or perhaps he's been caught red-handed, what other possibilities are there?
Xiao Qi was stunned by Xiang Wan's words and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she said, "Host, did you add the ability to speak to your soul? How come you can talk even more than this system?"
Xiang Wan was truly speechless: it turned out that she had finally managed to express her feelings, but the listener, oh no, the system, hadn't even grasped the key point. She really wanted to curse it with "Fuck you!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, the applause was sparse. The principal looked rather unwell, but he forced himself to end the opening ceremony.
Thanks to this body, Li Mu spotted Xiang Wan in the crowd at a glance and walked straight towards her after stepping off the stage.
Xiang Wan didn't want to avoid it either, after all, they were "old acquaintances", and it was only right to catch up.
"Teacher Li, it's been a long time!"
"You must be Yu Xiangwan. The teacher saw you as soon as she arrived. Do you have time to chat?"
Xiang Wan lowered her head, noticed his leg, and then looked up again to ask, "Teacher, is your leg alright?"
Li Mu's expression was somewhat unnatural. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm almost fine. Just walk normally and slowly."
Li Mu's leg issue should be considered his privacy, so it's surprising that Xiang Wan brought it up like that.
"Congratulations, teacher."
"Thank you. We're old acquaintances. Teacher, you're staying at a hotel not far away. Would you like to come over together? I have some things to give you, and it's inconvenient for me to carry them myself."
Holy crap, he asked her to go to a hotel as soon as they met? You're not kidding, are you?
As it turned out, Xiang Wan wasn't overthinking things. Although she made an excuse not to go, other teachers came to inform her that they needed her to deliver something to Li Mu, with the address written down and instructing her to make sure it was given to him.
This time, Xiang Wan couldn't refuse. The first requirement for a good student is good grades, and the second is obedience. She couldn't afford to break that image, so Xiang Wan had no choice but to carry her homemade self-defense powder with her, along with two other medications she was used to giving to others.
"Don't you think that your slow and drawn-out revenge on the original owner's enemies is getting on people's nerves?"
007 had wanted to say this for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked it out loud.
Xiang Wan replied, "Revenge requires energy and stamina. Since the final result is the same, why waste your energy to grow by doing something that harms others and doesn't benefit yourself? Sacrifice the original owner's entire life just to make Li Mu unhappy. Do you think she will be happy in the future?"
I know there's a more direct way, one I could even do myself. But can you guarantee there won't be other unbearable consequences? My wish is to use someone else's strength against them, always remaining in the safest position; I dare not forget that.
System: Just say you're too lazy to do it yourself. This system is getting goosebumps.
Xiang Wan: I refuse to talk to this idiotic system!
