Chapter 256 Has She Changed?
“What you say makes sense. If what you say is true, I won’t tell Father and Mother about what happened today. I will personally teach this arrogant woman a lesson later. But you must tell Brother Huo Ran about the grievances I suffered today, so that he knows what this woman is really like. She is not an innocent little rabbit. She must have been acting in front of Brother Huo Ran.”
Seeing that she had been fooled, Liu Min immediately replied, "Of course, if my master knew, he would feel sorry for Miss Liu."
"Really?" Liu Zijun's eyes lit up immediately. "Will Brother Huo Ran really feel sorry for me?"
Liu Min smiled slightly: "Of course, Miss Liu, it's getting late, you should go back and rest. This servant should also go back to report to my master. This servant will tell my master everything that happened today, word for word."
Hearing Liu Min say this, Liu Zijun immediately felt that the grievances she had suffered were worthwhile.
"Alright, then you should go back first. Be sure to tell Brother Huo Ran the truth about what happened today, especially about how I was bullied. Remember that, don't forget."
Liu Min smiled and agreed, then turned and left.
Liu Zijun revealed a shy expression. She was already imagining how heartbroken Huo Ran would be if he knew she had been wronged. She knew that after all these years, Huo Ran couldn't possibly be completely indifferent to her. Even a stone would have to be warmed up eventually.
Liu Zijun didn't realize it, but Zhao Zhilan, who was standing outside, saw it clearly. This silly woman was completely fooled by others and even felt good about herself.
"Miss Liu, are you... really not going to go back and tell the Prime Minister and his wife?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zijun immediately said, "Of course! How could I possibly go back and tell my father and mother about just dealing with such a wild girl? Wouldn't they think I'm a coward? I can't even handle such a wild girl. I'm enduring this humiliation today only so that Brother Huo Ran will feel sorry for me. It's not that I really can't handle her."
Zhao Zhilan felt utterly contemptuous, but outwardly she wore an expression of admiration: "Miss Liu, you are truly amazing! This move is brilliant; I never even thought of it."
"That's right." Liu Zijun revealed a smug look. Although she suffered a loss this time, she would find an opportunity to deal with Jiang Mi later. As long as Brother Huo Ran was with her, what did a little wild girl matter? Right now, she was just Brother Huo Ran's plaything.
Zhao Zhilan didn't intend to remind Liu Zijun; she was happy to watch the show, expecting it to escalate further so she could reap the benefits.
Jiang Mi was in a terrible mood on her way back. When she got to her room, she kicked Mo Hua and Si Qin out and asked, "System, have I completed my mission? When will I receive my reward?"
System: [What's the rush? When have I ever gone back on my word about the reward I gave you? The next task is coming up, accept it too.]
Jiang Mi was shocked: "I haven't even received my reward yet, and a mission has already started? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
The system ignored her and continued issuing its own tasks.
[New mission: Make Huo Ran completely devoted to you and propose to you in public.]
Ginger Honey: "!!!"
"Do you know what you're saying? My mind is in turmoil right now. I don't even know if I should stay with him. Why should I let him propose to me? Are you just playing me?"
The system seemed to realize that it was asking too much of people, so it changed its mind.
[Here's the task: I can't help you with it, but this task has no time limit, so you can leave it for now. Anyway, once you complete this task, you'll get a huge reward, and it's very tempting!]
Jiang Mi asked through gritted teeth, "What reward?"
System: [The reward is that your "Good Woman Value" will drop to 0. From now on, as you complete tasks, your "Good Woman Value" will increase, and the more "Good Woman Value" you have, the bigger your rewards will be.]
In this way, Jiang Mi doesn't have to worry about the system taking back her life.
The system then said: "Actually, it's very simple. Now, suddenly..."
He's completely devoted to you. All you have to do is let him propose to you in public, and he'll definitely do as you say.
The system made it sound simple, but Jiang Mi didn't have that much confidence. She hadn't fully figured out why Huo Ran liked her. Maybe he was after her beauty? Or perhaps he was after her earning power? Surely he didn't want anything in return?
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm very confused right now. I've realized that he knows me very well, but I don't know him at all. Even Liu Zijun knows him better than I do."
The system said helplessly, "If you don't know, then go find out. You can ask, or send someone to inquire. It's better than just letting your imagination run wild, right? This isn't like you at all."
That makes sense. Jiang Mi doesn't know why she's become so hesitant and timid when it comes to Huo Ran. Is it because she values this relationship so much? Or is she afraid of being betrayed and deceived, and thus getting hurt?
"I understand. I'll go find him once I've thought it through."
Jiang Mi asked dejectedly, "If I don't complete this task, will you stop giving me other tasks, and will it be difficult for me to get more 'good woman points'?"
System: [Not really, there should still be other tasks, just slower and with smaller rewards. Why are you so worried? Before, you'd grit your teeth and do anything that was good for you, so why are you hesitating about Huo Ran? Is he really that important to you?]
As if her secret thoughts had been revealed, Jiang Mi stopped talking. She thought quietly for a while and then went to sleep.
When Jiang Zhi and Jiang Xuan returned, they didn't see their younger sister again. Looking at the lights that had been turned off, Jiang Zhi said with a stern face, "I'm going to talk to Huo Ran."
Jiang Xuan stopped him: "No rush. The exams are in the next couple of days. It might be better to talk about it after we get our results."
Jiang Zhi thought about it and agreed. If one of them became the top scholar, would Huo Ran still dare to look down on them?
"What did you find out that day?"
Jiang Xuan paused for a moment and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister's daughter has always liked Huo Ran and wants to marry him. If our sister also likes Huo Ran, this woman will be difficult to deal with."
Jiang Zhi also fell silent. After all, she was the prime minister's daughter. Unless they climbed to a higher position, what could they compare with her?
