Free Web NovelChapter 498: Chapter 494: Did You Forget You Used All the Points on Yourself?
Gu Jiaojiao curled her lip.
"Being able to fit eight tables in the house isn’t bad."
"What kind of sane person gets married in this weather? They must have a screw loose."
In the novel, around this time, Xu Wenwan had a chance encounter with Third Master and made a lot of money from a facial soap recipe, becoming a hidden young heiress. Meanwhile, Yun Hao had also received payment for two manuscripts.
He greatly admired a certain old master whose writing was exceptionally brilliant. To be more like his idol, Yun Hao submitted a few manuscripts of his own and had two of them accepted.
Thanks to his literary talent and manuscript fees, Yun Hao’s reputation soared. Everyone for miles around would know that Qingshan Team had an educated youth who earned more with his pen than factory workers in the city.
Although Xu Wenwan had become wealthy, outsiders didn’t know. They only knew that she used and wore fine things, had a gentle personality, and was well-read and sensible—completely different from the other girls in the village.
Plus, she and Yun Hao had grown up together. Proximity breeds affection, so it was only natural that the two of them would end up together.
In the novel, the two of them were the golden couple, a match made in heaven. All the girls in Qingshan Team envied Xu Wenwan, and all the young men in Qingshan Team envied Yun Hao.
All the parents in Qingshan Team envied Village Chief Xu and his wife, and the entire team heaped praise upon the couple.
Thinking of the novel’s plot, Gu Jiaojiao revealed a mischievous smile.
For some reason, the plot was now completely different from the original story. This derailed plot, seemingly no longer bound by the book’s destiny, was just how she liked it.
’The more twisted, the better.’
’The more chaotic it gets, the better off I’ll be.’
As Gu Jiaojiao, the cannon fodder, her whole purpose was to mess up the original plot. Otherwise, how could she rewrite her own destiny?
Chen JianShe completely agreed with Gu Jiaojiao. "They really are crazy. Choosing a day like this to get married is so unlucky."
People in the past were all superstitious.
Take Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, for instance. The weather had been bad, but on their wedding day, the sky suddenly cleared. People said this was a sign of great fortune, that their marriage was destined for happiness—a good omen.
As for Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan, the day before was sunny, but their wedding day was met with a blizzard. This was proof that even the heavens disapproved of their union. It was not a good omen, and their marriage was sure to be an unhappy one.
These were all just superstitions, of course. But whether one believed them or not, Gu Jiaojiao herself was in a pretty good mood.
Anyway, her situation was good. It was Yun Hao and her cousin who were in a bad spot.
Gu Jiaojiao and Chen JianShe did all the talking on the way there. Leng Yuan barely said a word from start to finish, but he kept his eyes on Gu Jiaojiao, steadying her whenever she was about to fall.
The village paths were uneven and dotted with pits of all sizes. Experienced walkers could navigate around them even when they were hidden by snow, but Gu Jiaojiao lacked this skill. She stumbled along, her steps uneven, and occasionally plunged a foot into a hole.
Thankfully, Leng Yuan was there to pull her back onto solid ground with a single tug.
Gu Jiaojiao was both embarrassed and too scared to complain.
When they finally reached Village Chief Xu’s house, they saw Yun Hao beaming with delight, while Xu Wenwan wore a forced smile. Peering closer, Gu Jiaojiao could faintly make out a willow switch in Chen Xiumin’s hand.
Xu Wenwan reluctantly followed Yun Hao out the door. When she looked up, her gaze immediately landed on Gu Jiaojiao in the crowd.
Xu Wenwan bit her lip.
’The plot is collapsing more and more, yet a minor cannon fodder character is living more and more comfortably. Why?’
"System, I want to use my points to make Gu Jiaojiao have bad luck."
The system gave her a mental eye-roll. "Have you forgotten that you used up all your points on yourself?"
