Chapter 150: Wait Until I’m Done Before You Speak
Jiang Ning noticed the key point in Little Honey’s words.
Jiang Ning: “Wait, you said this world is about to collapse because the world consciousness uses energy to control this body and complete the script fully, so did this body have a soul before becoming an empty shell?”
Little Honey hesitated for a moment, the yellow light ball swaying back and forth in front of Jiang Ning: [Yes… because everyone is a person living in the script, one world can give birth to many pairs of protagonists and supporting characters to complete happy plotlines. Only after finishing the previous one can the world consciousness select the next plot’s candidates to gain the energy to continue existing. Once the plot isn’t completed, it will face disappearance.]
Jiang Ning now somewhat understood this world’s rules.
Life and death were entirely in the so-called world consciousness’s thoughts.
“Which one do I belong to?”
Little Honey: [The second one… From what I know, it’s because the character belonging to “Jiang Ning” awakened and forcibly changed the plot, nearly causing the world to collapse, so the world consciousness eliminated her and found a bunch of players to replace her, but they all fell in love with the male lead and were annihilated.]
Jiang Ning: “…”
A beauty brings disaster.
Jiang Ning couldn’t laugh; she was also one of the annihilation army.
If the plot is completed, then the world consciousness selects the next generation of protagonists, which would definitely still be in the wealthy family circle, overbearing CEO series.
A bold idea emerged in Jiang Ning’s mind: “Don’t tell me the protagonists of the next one are Huo Yu and Bai Chuchu…”
Little Honey: [Holy crap, host, you should be super smart, so why is your hair still so thick?]
Jiang Ning closed her eyes: “Crazy, being a bit crazy is good. This angst novel is total crap. Can I expect the next pair of world protagonists to be any better? So our Jiang family is destined to be cannon fodder? This plot sacrifices me, the next plot sacrifices Jiang Li.”
“Let me guess this story’s direction. Is it that Bai Chuchu, as the ‘female lead,’ is blind and has kidney failure, uses Jiang Li’s cornea and kidney, and comes back to life, while Jiang Li dies from postoperative complications not long after. When she dies, the ‘male lead’ Huo Yu is still celebrating his beloved wife’s new life. Later, when he learns of Jiang Li’s death, his damn love-but-unattainable psychology acts up again, he starts regretting killing Jiang Li, recalls the good times with Jiang Li, and finally sees his perfect wife, feels disgust, and starts a new round of abusive love.”
Little Honey: [Holy crap, you…]
Jiang Ning: “Wait until I’m done speaking before you say anything.”
Little Honey: […]
Jiang Ning: “Then the male lead of another angst novel, Xie Jingyan, becomes the new elite, defeats him as the final BOSS and ascends to one of the top powers in the capital city. After bankrupting Huo Yu, only Bai Chuchu remains loyal to him no matter what. No matter how much he misses his ‘white moonlight’ Jiang Li, she is willing to accompany him to make a comeback without complaint, even if women keep appearing by his side who all resemble ‘Jiang Li,’ she doesn’t make a fuss. Finally, Huo Yu realizes the most loved one is by his side and ends up with Bai Chuchu.”
Little Honey: [You wouldn’t happen to be the author in disguise who transmigrated into the book, right?]
Jiang Ning: “^-^ Hehe, that author deserves to die too.”
Little Honey: […]
After sorting through everything, Jiang Ning’s mood was like she had eaten shit.
She was so shocked that she stared blankly into space.
Xie Jingyan unknowingly fell asleep. He woke up groggily to see what seemed like a yellow light circle swaying in front of him.
After fully waking up, there was nothing in front of him.
The bus had also stopped in Jin Cheng.
They had arrived at the destination.
Jiang Ning took the meat bun from Xie Jingyan’s hand: “I’m leaving first.”
“Jiang Ning!” Xie Jingyan stood in place and called out to her.
She turned back puzzled: “What’s wrong?”
Xie Jingyan’s thousand words ultimately turned into a smile: “Nothing, be safe going home.”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at him, her lips curving up in a small arc: “Got it, Xie Jingyan. Remember to pick me up for school tomorrow.”
Hearing this sentence.
The smile at the corner of Xie Jingyan’s mouth grew larger. He shouted toward Jiang Ning’s back view: “Okay.”
So, had Jiang Ning accepted him?
Xie Jingyan didn’t know.
His mind was also dazed.
But her no longer refusing made him especially happy.
It took walking several steps forward to react; he had gone the wrong way.
He raised his hand to rub his face which was almost stiff from smiling, cursing himself in his heart for being like an idiot, but still couldn’t help being happy.
His departing footsteps were very light.
In the dark, someone was watching Xie Jingyan. Seeing him safely return to Jin Cheng, they took out their mobile phone to start reporting work.
[Manager Meng, the person has safely returned to Jin Cheng. He and Miss Jiang encountered danger in Xiao Ge Town. Our people arrived in time and drove them away. We guarded outside the small hotel all night, confirmed they were safe before leaving. Investigation shows the group behind them is the Huo Family.]
Meng Su, who received the message, was currently sitting in a low-key luxury car.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge, his amber eyes narrowing slightly: “Huo Family?”
The message from the other side was still transmitting:
[From what we know, Xie Jingyan had contact with Huo Yu at age fifteen.]
Meng Su’s eyes turned sharp in a second.
Huo Yu!
Ever since seeing Xie Jingyan yesterday, he had suspicions in his heart.
According to the information on his side.
Xie Jingyan’s parents were both deceased; he had a grandmother and a sister.
When Meng Qing left the capital city back then, she had divorced that man.
So had Meng Qing remarried outside?
That didn’t seem right either.
She loved that man so much; how could she really marry someone else and have another child?
And on Xie Jingyan’s side, not much could be found; only that he was a native of Xiao Ge Town.
There were no records of outsiders.
Not much could be investigated on the Xie Jingyan line.
So Meng Su could only start from Xie Jingyan’s sister Xie He.
It was said that Xie He had leukemia and was receiving treatment at Jingya Hospital in the capital city.
They were already preparing for bone marrow transplant.
He had already contacted his mother to go to Jingya Hospital.
So is it you?
Xiao Jing…
At this time, in the capital city.
Old Mrs. Meng came with trepidation.
Meng Su said her granddaughter might be receiving treatment here.
She rushed over without thinking.
But upon reaching the hospital entrance, she felt hesitant again.
Afraid that it was, afraid that it wasn’t.
Afraid to see her daughter, feeling guilty toward her.
But more than that, she wanted to see.
Since they parted, that girl had truly cut off relations with them.
She found out Xie He’s hospital room number.
It was a general ward. Inside, besides her, there were many other children with the same illness—some three years old, some seven or eight, some around ten. Xie He was one of the older kids in this hospital room.
She held the teddy bear that Jiang Ning gave her, proudly showing it off: “This is a doll my healing big sister gave me. She promised to bring me a wig next time she visits, so I won’t have to wear a hat anymore.”
The other children all showed envious looks.
