Little One Tears the Villain’s Script

Chapter 288



“No matter how bad the outside world is, I’ve been there for fifteen years.” Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to fight with her, and tried to speak as calmly as possible. “Well, to be honest, I didn’t come back here to discuss it with you. I came to inform you that I won’t be going home to the Wen family.”

Wen Hui’s whole body froze and her eyes widened. She didn’t understand at all why her daughter, who was finally found after all the effort, said that she would leave. She reached out her hand to grab Jiang Xiaoman, but only grabbed the air.

“Xiaoman!” Wen Hui chased after her.

When she caught up, Jiang Xiaoman hadn’t left yet because someone blocked her way.

Old Madam Wen who was pushing Old Master Wen in a wheelchair happened to be in her way.

When Old Master Wen saw her, his face instantly turned full of tears, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Child, child… Come here and let Grandpa take a look.”

Jiang Xiaoman froze and didn’t move.

She used to have one principle; that is, not to hit children. As her grandmother got older, she added one more principle; not to get angry at the elderly.

Jiang Xiaoman sighed helplessly and squatted down. She called him grandpa obediently, then looked up at Old Madam Wen, and called her grandma.

Her grandfather was very excited and stroked her face with his pair of hands that looked like dried wood. He was very old, and his hands were as wrinkled as her grandma’s, and was just as rough to the touch. Jiang Xiaoman hesitated for a while, but did not push him away.

“It’s good that you’ve returned, it’s good that you’ve returned… ” He shivered, his hands shaking all the time.

Wen Hui cried, “Dad, please persuade her quickly. This child is confused, she wants to go back no matter what, and doesn’t want to stay here. How can this be?”

The old man paused, his eyes full of surprise.

He calmed down for a while and asked Jiang Xiaoman, “Child, do you really want to leave?”

“I want to live with my grandma and uncle.” Jiang Xiaoman’s tone became gentler.

“Then… what if we bring your grandma and uncle over to live here together?” The old man cried very miserably, “Grandpa wants to see you every day. If your family comes here, Grandpa will also take good care of them.”

Jiang Xiaoman blinked her eyes, feeling a little surprised.

Was he actually willing to let her grandma and uncle come here?

He seemed much easier to talk to than her mother.

Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to fight him, so she could only whisper, “Then I have to go back and discuss with my grandma and uncle first.”

Jiang Xiaoman was actually just rejecting him politely, just trying to get through this matter for now. After all, Grandma would definitely not get used to living here, and she was also reluctant to let Grandma live under someone else’s roof, having to see a stranger’s face every day. Uncle was even more impossible to convince; he was busy earning money every day, how could he have the time to cultivate relationships with others?

She was just rejecting him in a roundabout way, but the others didn’t know. They thought that she really meant it, so the Old Madam’s face turned a little ugly.

“What is there to-”

“What the child said is right. How could she not discuss such a big matter with her family?” The old gentleman interrupted his wife and said angrily, “Is this how you do things? Although I’m old and useless, but it is clear in my heart what should be done!”

Old Master Wen had been bedridden for many days. Today, he heard that the child had returned. He was in rarely good spirits, and his former majesty had returned. As soon as he spoke, no one said anything else; they could only acquiesce.

Although, it would surely be very troublesome to live with two more strangers. This wasn’t just a matter of adding two more rooms.

Old Master Wen didn’t force Jiang Xiaoman to stay there tonight. He said that she was not used to living here, so she should go back first and discuss it with her family. There was no need to rush.

Jiang Xiaoman’s impression of him improved again.

As she carried her brick with her exiting the Wen family house, the system suddenly said, “Host, your grandfather’s condition is not right.”

“Yeah, he’s sick. People are like this when they get old.”

“But… in the plot, he died at the age of seventy-eight.”

Jiang Xiaoman remembered the kind-hearted old man just now, and couldn’t help frowning, “Is he already seventy-eight now?”

“No, he’s only sixty-five this year.” The system was so anxious that it emitted electronic noises again, and its chip almost short circuited. “But according to this system’s scan, he is now terminally ill, and his remaining lifespan is no more than two months.”

“…!!” Jiang Xiaoman was taken aback, and then asked the system, “Did you make a mistake in your math, or is there a problem with your scan, or… is there a problem with your plot?”

“Host, something is wrong.” The system got stuck for a while before finally returning to normal.

At the same time, the system gave Jiang Xiaoman a task after a long absence.
