Ch.137 Persevere, and Persevere More (5)

“I went into the best senior high school in Shuchuan. The tuition fee was a few thousand each year. What if I couldn’t afford it? I just stood outside of the window to listen to class. I was youthful and rebellious at that time. When I was teased, I even complained about how poor my aunt was, and why I had to live such a bitter life…I remember one summer I went to work at a hair salon to earn money, and I nearly got tricked into selling my body. I was lucky though, I got out of there.”

“I still remember the winter of my first year of high school. I was lying outside of the classroom, eavesdropping on the teacher’s lecture. The cold wind brushed past my neck and it was so cold I couldn’t even hold my pen properly. But since my family was poor, I was already losing at the starting line. If I didn’t learn this way, I would’ve been left further behind by them.”

“Remember when everyone was dragging me a while ago on the net?” Then, Lin Yueqi took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped away the foundation on her face, revealing the faint red scar. “Look, Qin Xue disfigured me, and I had to take her slander. I felt wronged, and I mean, who wouldn’t? Who doesn’t have to suffer in this world? My aunt told me that life is just a sad show, you have to think about how hard you tried in the past at your most bitter moments. Persevere, and persevere more, then you might be able to see a better tomorrow.”

…

Jiang Mucheng looked at her, not expecting her to have gone through so much.

Jiang Mucheng had also experienced similar things to the bitter past she mentioned. When she was in high school, she was subjected to bullying because her family was poor. When she went into college, she was ridiculed by her classmates for being a “bumpkin” because her family was too poor for her to afford clothes and cosmetics.

She had low self-esteem and sunk deep into her bones. She thought that she could earn money to change herself after she started working, but she didn’t expect to encounter Zhao Yuan’s suppression.

The abuse from the netizens back then became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

She wanted to die to end everything, but then she met the system.

When she thought of the past, she suddenly covered her face and cried out on the dining table.

Before entering the shop with Lin Yueqi, she was filled with envy of her. But now, she was full of remorse.

She’s such a tough girl, how could a man like Lu Ting not like her?

On the other hand, she was using the system to hurt innocent people, using it to take over the work of others…What did she get in the end? She ended up embarrassing herself like a fool in front of a crowd and became a fool.

So, what kind of person did she become in the end?

…

Of course Lin Yueqi would not dare to reveal that she learned of the system through her dreams. She was worried that if her persuasion failed, that the system and Jiang Mucheng would come back to bite her.

But now, it seems the system still had no idea she knew about its existence through her dreams, and she certainly wouldn’t reveal a single word.

That’s why she used this roundabout way to alert the supporting female character who was bound to the gold finger system.

Lin Yueqi had a similar background to her and also understood the girl’s change of heart. She also wanted to give up her morals during difficult times and choose to take shortcuts to obtain success.

But she didn’t in the end, and eventually overcame the devil in her heart.

Human nature is complicated, and in the most desperate times, a little temptation can easily collapse all defenses.

Jiang Mucheng was crying sadly on the table, while Lin Yueqi was huffing to dispel the eat from eating too much chili and couldn’t say anything.

Just when Jiang Mucheng was crying the most pitifully, the system’s prompt rang in her ear:

“Dingding~ System reboot was successful.”

However, as soon as the “Revenge Script” successfully rebooted, it felt an energy attack from the host.
