Chapter 13: Hidden Task Triggered

Ning Shu finished packing, ending up with two large suitcases. Pulling the suitcases, she opened the door and encountered a woman leading a boy that looked about seven years old.

Ning Shu checked her memories. They were the original host's mother and younger brother. This little brother was younger than the original host by almost ten years and was the precious jewel of the entire family. Even the original host, Lin Jiajia, had always given this younger brother everything he wanted and loved him dearly. This was due to the fact that her parents would often tell her that siblings must love each other, and that even after she got married she would still have to rely on her family's influence.

Though it stemmed partially from selfish motives and also from the fact that they were related by blood, Lin Jiajia truly did treat this younger brother sincerely well.

However, Ning Shu was just a stranger. As a spectator, she saw that this family only treated this little kid well. Towards their daughter, they viewed her as a commodity that costed money and only treated her as a tool.

When she was being kicked out, the original host's mother had stayed inside her room. She not only did not come out and stop the father from kicking their daughter out, even now she didn't bother to urge Ning Shu to stay.

Mother Lin took out a thick envelope and said, "This is the money Mother prepared for you. In the future, you'll have to live on your own and fend for yourself. This money will probably be enough for you to use for a while."

Ning Shu silently took the envelope and watched as the mother and son pair went into their room. She felt very unsatisfied ah. They didn't even bother to fake some tears as a gesture.

It couldn't be that the original host wasn't of the Lin family and wasn't this couple's biological daughter, right?

"Ding. Hidden storyline has been triggered. The riddle of the original host's ident.i.ty. Storyline: The Little Tadpole Seeking Her Mother. Do you accept?"

The cold mechanical voice abruptly appeared in Ning Shu's head and the task was actually to help find the original host's biological parents! The original task was already difficult enough, what the h.e.l.l was popping up now?

"Do you accept the task of discovering true ident.i.ty?"

"No." Ning Shu rejected it without even considering it. Things were already very messy, and now the system wanted her to find the original host's biological parents? She only had five years to complete her task. The longer she stayed in this world, the more of the life points would be used up. If all the points ended up being used up, she'd really vanish like smoke in the air.

The sea of people in this world was boundless, how could it possibly be easy to find a person?

"Are you certain that you wish to accept the task of discovering true ident.i.ty?"

"Yes."

"Task Storyline: The Little Tadpole Seeking Its Mother, start."

"What!!?" shrieked Ning Shu. When did she agree to start the task? She didn't even accept the task!

The system was too dirty, to force people like this. How could it force people to buy things like this!?

As a pitiful child that only had twenty points of luck, even the system became mean and was bullying her.

With a dejected expression, Ning Shu shoved the envelope into the suitcase and went downstairs carrying the two large suitcases.

Downstairs, Father Lin saw Ning Shu's dejected, blank, and helpless expression and made an expression full of affection as he said, "This is just a temporary measure. Father will definitely welcome you back soon."

Ning Shu didn't feel anything seeing his phony act. The original host wasn't his daughter, but he had raised the original host and allowed her to live a well-off life. Although it was with the motive of using her, Ning Shu couldn't really feel hatred towards him.

This body as well. When it realized that it wasn't the biological daughter, it had actually relaxed. The people who get used have their own value. Inevitably, something had to be sacrificed in order to live a wealthy life, spend money like water, and enjoy the things that others wouldn't ever have the chance to their entire lives.

Though this body harbored some complaints, it didn't feel hatred.

Ning Shu sighed in relief. Luckily no strange task like getting revenge on Father Lin and Mother Lin showed up.

She didn't feel like faking affection with Father Lin so she lifted the suitcases and walked out the door. She called a rental car, then found a hotel to spend the night in.

Chapter 14: You're Just an Orphan

The next day, Ning Shu rented an apartment near the school. The apartment was very small, but it was enough for her to live in. She moved her things into the apartment, then carefully cleaned all the nooks and corners.

Ning Shu was only satisfied when the house was practically sparkling. She stood with her hands on her waist, sweaty all over. Sweating like this felt really good. Last lifetime, her illness had ruined her body so much that she couldn't even walk and could only lie on the bed every day. She couldn't even compare to a disabled person.

Ning Shu bounced around a little. What a healthy body!

Having found a place to stay, she headed to school the next day. All the task objectives were at Ace Academy, if she didn't go to school, how would she complete the tasks?

However, the moment Ning Shu walked into the school, she discovered that everyone was looking at her weirdly and kept pointing at her. When she approached them, the students would scramble away as if she carried the plague.

Some people were actually exaggeratedly covering their noses. Ning Shu lifted her hand and sniffed. There didn't seem to be any smell on her ah?

When Ning Shu walked into the cla.s.sroom, the entire cla.s.s immediately burst out laughing at her, causing Ning Shu to be completely baffled.

An Rong walked to Ning Shu and towered over her. Her expression full of disdain, she said, "Lin Jiajia, you actually still dare to come to cla.s.s? Your skin must be made of iron."

As An Rong spoke, she reached out to tug Ning Shu's face. Ning Shu dodged and said coldly, "Keep your hands to yourself."

This girl didn't have any education at all. Fortunately etiquette was a required course for all Ace Academy students.

An Rong didn't expect that this wretch who she had always been able to hit as she pleased would actually dare to dodge. Her face twitched and she swung the newspaper in her hand towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu dodged, then picked up the newspaper from the floor to read it.

Printed as earth-shattering news on the newspaper was the information Father Lin had announced. He had severed all relations.h.i.+ps with his daughter. Lin Jiajia was no longer the Lin family daughter and had nothing to do with the Lin family. In brief, it was as final as humanly possible.

"You're now just an orphan, yet you still have the face to come to school? Ace Academy isn't a welfare agency," sneered An Rong.

The cla.s.s burst out laughing again. As Ning Shu listened to the ear-piercing laughter, she felt as if her worldview was about to shatter. She had read that junior high schoolers were confused about emotions, but the emotions in high school were the most pure. In high school, no thoughts of benefits were mixed into relations.h.i.+ps and it was completely different from the careful relations.h.i.+ps in college in which people had to take into consideration which connections were useful.

However, right now she was seeing a group of high school students using venomous words and malicious actions towards a weaker person.

Ning Shu had forgotten that Ace Academy was a mini-society and was even crueler than society. All the students here were people that stood at the very top of the pyramid, people that the ordinary ma.s.ses could never hope to reach.

Ning Shu's greatest mistake was that she was weak. As an abandoned chess piece that had even been discarded by family, she truly didn't have the qualifications to stay among them.

Ning Shu folded up the newspaper and placed it in her bag. Then, ignoring all the disdaining gazes, she sat down at her seat.

When An Rong saw that Ning Shu didn't react, she felt like she had punched cotton and felt very dissatisfied. She glared at Ning Shu, sending the message, 'you just wait!'

Speaking of which, it really was an ill-fated relations.h.i.+p. The original host's seat was actually right behind Ling Xue's. However- Ning Shu looked at her desk. It was full of crisscrossing scars and beyond recognition, the result of someone using a knife to slash at it. The desk was even missing a leg.

These little devils.
