Chapter 151
I’ll Die in Front of Your Eyes (3)
Jiang Xiaoman was a child who had seen the world. Hearing this, she stopped talking for
fear of being beaten.
There was no one around anyway, and no one would hear her even if she shouted until her throat was sore.
But now, there was one more problem that needed to be solved.
“Rumble…” Jiang Xiaoman’s stomach let out a sound.
She was hungry.
The cup noodles on his hand were so fragrant, she wanted to eat them.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoman liked instant noodles very much. She thought they were very fragrant, and more delicious than other snacks. But Grandma said that instant noodles were not nutritious and didn’t allow her to eat them, so Jiang Xiaoman rarely got to eat them.
She looked at Hong Xingguo blankly. Although she didn’t say a word, she was looking at the instant noodle cup he was holding with envy in her eyes.
Hong Xingguo chuckled twice and stretched out his hand. He retracted it again and whispered, “Want to eat?”
Jiang Xiaoman nodded.
“Too bad.”
…He was evil!!!
It was impossible for him to starve her so much that she would fall ill, and he would at least make sure she would not starve to death. But it was also impossible for him to treat her well.
If it was not because she could be exchanged for money, he would have beaten her a long time ago.
Every time he saw her, he was reminded of the fear of being beaten by Jiang Xiumei.
He couldn’t beat Jiang Xiumei, so he could only redirect his anger onto the child.
Hong Xingguo flaunted his power and did not give her any food or drink. He said that there wouldn’t be any food until tomorrow.
He was determined to let this girl starve for a bit.
Originally, he was sure that Jiang Xiaoman, who had nothing to eat would definitely cry. That was his real purpose.
But who would’ve thought…
Nom nom nom. Jiang Xiaoman ate a candy, and then a biscuit.
These were all exchanged with the system for points.
Jiang Xiaoman felt sad and miserable. She decided to treat herself and exchanged points for the most expensive stuff and ate to her heart’s content.
After all, such opportunities to indulge herself were rare. So Xiaoman was feeling quite good right now; the pleasure from eating and drinking had temporarily numbed her fear.
After eating her fill, she rested on the bed with her belly fully stuffed.
She sincerely said, “System, points are the real deal. They can save lives, and can also be exchanged for food. I will definitely work hard to earn points.”
System: “……”
Host, if you had this kind of realization earlier, would it have fallen to this point? Impossible!
It was a pity that it was too late to say anything.
The system had lost its fighting spirit.
After she rested for a while, Jiang Xiaoman felt that points were not that almighty. Although it could save lives and be exchanged for food, it still couldn’t help her escape from this villain’s clutches.
System said, “…Host, can you be even crueler?”
“Am I wrong?” Jiang Xiaoman replied.
“…Okay.” She was the daddy, the system couldn’t talk back to her. The system didn’t have any method to directly let her escape from here.
She could only rely on herself to figure out a solution.
Originally, the system was very worried and anxious. But after Jiang Xiaoman made it angry, it felt like the man from Qi who feared the sky falling1.
Its host was an amazing person; this was just a small matter, how could it stump her?
She might be young, but she was scarier than most people.
The system was relieved.
At the same moment, Jiang Xiaoman had also been thinking.
She couldn’t figure out why Hong Xingguo wanted to kidnap her. Since she couldn’t understand it, then whatever. She began to think about her current situation.
She didn’t want to be sold for money, and she didn’t want to be a little beggar.
She had to think of a way to make Hong Xingguo bring her back.
Jiang Xiaoman ran out of the room and saw Hong Xingguo who was leaning drowsily on the wall. She woke him up and loudly said, “Big villain! I want to negotiate with you!”
Hong Xingguo was so angry that he glared at her fiercely, “Go away! What negotiate?! Go sleep!”
“If you take me back, I’ll give you money! I have thousands of New Year’s Eve money, I’ll give them all to you!”
Just a few thousands?
Hmph, that amount didn’t tempt him.
Hong Xingguo picked her up, “Go to sleep, we still need to walk a long way tomorrow.”
Go? Where to?
Jiang Xiaoman panicked a little. She began to struggle with her little legs but she couldn’t stop him from lifting her.
After struggling for a while, she burst into tears and said, “You big bad guy! I know you’re going to sell me for money! I know you won’t let me go! But I still have a wish before I die, you must help me fulfill it! Otherwise, I’ll die right in front of your eyes!”
This was a trick that she learned from the system.
It was very useful.
Hong Xingguo’s face changed. “Are you threatening me?”
“Yes!”
