C2 The Abandoned Daughter of a Rich Family(2)
"Give her another five million," Yuan Lin said, not wanting to engage further.
Lingling watched the butler handle the transaction, then headed upstairs without a glance at the sour faces below. Yuan Lin's expression was dark, Su Mei was in tears, and Yiyi played the dutiful daughter, trying to console them. Her attempts only seemed to make them angrier.
Once in her room, Lingling began sorting through the memories of her predecessor. The original Lingling had been three when she got lost during an outing with Su Mei. She was taken in by strangers for a while but was abandoned again when she fell ill. The Mooh family found her and took care of her.
However, when Lingling was eleven, the Mooh couple died in a car accident, leaving her and their son, Mooh Bai, to fend for themselves. After returning to the Yuan family, Lingling was repeatedly sabotaged by the world’s heroine, Yuan Yiyi. Each time, she was humiliated in public, becoming a disgrace in high society.
Under Yiyi's influence, the male lead, Mo Tingchen, had Lingling insulted and imprisoned for three months, even taking photos of her. When the photos surfaced online, Lingling encountered Lin Chen, who mocked her. Overwhelmed, she attempted suicide.
After her death, Mooh Bai sought revenge against Yiyi, but his plans failed. Mo Tingchen had him imprisoned, where he was eventually tortured to death. Meanwhile, Yiyi, the world's heroine, remained the beloved heiress and ended up happily ever after with Mo Tingchen.
Lingling's original wish was to break free from the Yuan family, exact revenge on Yiyi and Mo Tingchen, and protect Mooh Bai.
"Beep... I am the supporting character system, HANHAN999. Complete the original's wish to earn 400 Merit Value points. Accumulate 100,000 points for a chance at revival."
Lingling wanted to say she didn't need revival, but considering she was killed by someone jumping to their death, it seemed an unfair way to go.
Yuan Lingling expressed a desire to change her fate, even if it meant facing death differently.
"Are you in my mind?" Yuan Lingling looked around, seeing no one.
"Yes, my host. You can communicate with me through your thoughts."
"Hmm..."
"My host, you just broke character."
"Then erase me. I don't want to live anyway."
"My host, you can do it! Where there's oppression, there's resistance!"
"Don't worry, they never truly understood the original owner. They'll just think the change is due to long-term oppression."
"My host, you're so wise and powerful!"
Another wave of cold electronic sound hit, making Yuan Lingling feel uneasy.
"What's your name? Can you change your voice?"
"My code is HANHAN999. Would you like a cute voice, a young girl's voice, a mature woman's voice, or a deep man's voice? Just say the word, and I can do it."
A cute electronic voice was... giving her goosebumps.
"So your name is Hanhan, huh? Then go with the cute voice." Hmph, you just dumped me here, so you'll stay Hanhan.
"Host, what does Hanhan mean?" Hanhan eagerly switched to the cute voice.
"It means adorable and awesome!" Yuan Lingling continued to fib.
"Oh, that's great!"
After Hanhan logged off, it went to brag about its name to the neighboring system...
Yuan Lingling went straight to sleep.
The next morning, while washing up, Yuan Lingling saw a pale, skinny face in the mirror, and she screamed.
The original owner was way too dark and thin!
At 5'5" with an oval face, big eyes, and a small mouth, she had the makings of a beauty, but the dull, dry skin turned her into something else.
Even the most patient person couldn't stand it.
"Hanhan! Explain to me why this body looks so awful?"
"My host, with your abilities, it's not a problem. I believe in you!"
"Of course, I'll turn her into a real beauty!"
Hanhan: "..." Finally, a close call avoided.
Yuan Lingling changed her clothes, packed her essentials, and decided it was time to go out and spruce herself up.
