It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Xiao Niao: "...The name is quite straightforward."

The system also expressed its agreement: [It's quite self-explanatory, but I feel like the person who came up with this name is really bad at naming.]

She walked in and found that it was a recruitment notice.

Places like bus stations and train stations always have a very large flow of people, and many migrant workers also have to stop here for a transfer.

The notice is posted on the bulletin board facing the exit, and almost everyone passing by can see it.

The system spoke at the right moment: [This should be the Gu family from the main storyline... I mean the Gu Group.]

Xiao Niao: "Is it the company run by the son of destiny?"

The system is right. That’s right.

[Number Four has already told us all the information he knows.]

The system said: [I compared the timeline provided by Xiao Si, and the person currently in charge of the Gu Group... should still be the mother of Gu Tianjiao, the son of destiny.]

Xiao Niao: "Yeah, I know this. His mother is not dead yet."

The system said with a worried tone: [According to your speculation, his mother plays a crucial role in the plot. After her death, the main plot began to deviate...]

Xiao Niao nodded: "I understand. We need to find out when his mother will die."

System: […Actually, there’s no rush for this.]

Tongzi said there was no rush, and he really meant it, because there was still a long time before the protagonist's mother died.

This is also because this small world has been restarted too many times. In order to avoid the expatriates from failing in their mission as soon as they land, the time point of intervention in the time travel has been advanced again and again.

When it comes to Xiao Niao, the story basically just begins.

"Let me see," the system searched through the vast amount of information, "Gu Tianjiao is still in high school... He should still be in foster care at the heroine's home."

There are naturally complicated reasons why the male protagonist is fostered in the female protagonist's home, but we will not discuss them here.

Birdie had already heard this information from Number Four, so she was not surprised at this time.

"...The qualifying exam is tomorrow," Xiao Niao pondered for a moment, "How about we go get in touch now?"

[Well, the monitoring and tracking module can immediately lock onto the protagonist's location.]

The system quickly got the result: the son of destiny is now in the family of the heroine of the story, that is, the Lu family.

Xiao Niao no longer gets emotional when he hears about things like home and family.

Even when Number Four was chattering to her about the "characteristics of the domineering CEOs in romance novels," she didn't say anything more, but just patted the kitten's head lovingly.

The CEO must be surnamed 'Lu Fu Shen Gu'.

He must have stomach problems, stomach ulcers, stomach bleeding, or some other physical or psychological illness.

And, most importantly, knowing a doctor friend who can be called to your home in the middle of the night to help...

Number Four spoke with great interest, describing everything in detail.

Xiao Niao thought fondly, she had never expected the working environment of the systems to be so difficult...

"There's no time to lose," she said with a look of relief, as if she had seen through the mundane world. "Let's go now."

Anyway, there is no way to escape this, so the sooner you fix it (referring to the wrong node), the sooner you can get rid of it.

Unexpectedly, the system hesitated: [How about we focus on the exam first? You've been studying for quite a while...]

Xiao Niao: “…”

Xiao Niao couldn't understand: "No, we are here to do the repair task, why are you really competing with the exam?"

[Bird, be serious and don't underestimate this qualification exam.]

The system was heartbroken: [This concerns the establishment!!!]

-

Lu Yao opened her eyes and found that her back was

Completely soaked in cold sweat.

After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, she couldn't help but scream.

"what!!!!"

Lu Yao looked at the bedroom, which was carefully decorated in a light pink style, in disbelief.

She was very familiar with the overall layout of the room and all the decorations placed there.

After all... this is Lu Yao's own room!

But it has been many years since she married into the Lu family. How could this room still maintain the appearance of her teenage years?

Lu Yao subconsciously reached out to touch her calf, and felt the smooth and tender skin, completely devoid of the scar she was already familiar with.

That scar was left when Lu Yao broke her leg after jumping off the building.

Yes, it’s in the plot summary, when the robber threatened to take away his lover or fiancée, he jumped out of despair.

She survived that time by chance, but was left with an ugly scar on her calf.

She touched her calf in surprise, and pinched it hard in disbelief.

Hiss, it hurts so much.

Lu Yao finally understood the situation. She covered her mouth with both hands and tears streamed down her face.

She was deeply shocked. She never thought that there could be such a miraculous thing in the world: she was reborn!

Just when Lu Yao was extremely excited, someone suddenly knocked on the bedroom door, and a young girl's voice could be heard outside the house.

The other person's tone of voice was a little stiff, as if he was suppressing his emotions.

She said, "Lu Yao, Dad will be home soon, you're almost done!"

Lu Yao couldn't tell who the voice belonged to for a moment. She jumped out of bed, walked over in her slippers and opened the door.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yao asked with an unhappy look on her face.

Although her face had become much younger and more immature, she still recognized at a glance that the young girl outside the door was her half-sister, Lu Zhiqing.

Lu Zhiqing is the daughter of her father and his ex-wife. She is three years older than her. Her biological mother died during childbirth. Although she is nominally her sister, they have never gotten along well since childhood.

I don’t know why, but Lu Yao naturally hates her sister.

Although everyone praised her for being well-behaved, sensible, gentle and virtuous, Lu Yao knew that this was all just an act!

On the other side, Lu Zhiqing saw that his adopted sister was staring at him with a strange look in her eyes, and he couldn't help but feel alert.

"Lu Yao, stop playing dumb."

Lu Zhiqing seemed to have reached the point where he could no longer tolerate it, and his tone became tougher.

"Stop messing around and get the key to the cold storage!"

"Gu Tianjiao is our guest after all. If you mess with him like this, Dad will definitely scold you when he comes back!"

This name immediately made Lu Yao's eyes light up.

The complicated grievances and hatreds with my half-sister cannot be fully described in a short time. If I go into details, this chapter may not be enough to write about it.

Lu Yao didn't have time to argue any further. She quickly asked, "Tianjiao? Is Tianjiao still in our house?"

"You mean the cold storage? Is he in the cold storage?" Lu Yao said anxiously, "Why did he end up in that place?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiqing's expression became extremely strange: "...What on earth are you crazy about today?"

The older sister had the expression of someone observing a mentally retarded child: "Didn't you lock him in the cold storage?"

Lu Yao: "..."

Thinking back carefully, it seems that this is the case.

The distant memories came to her mind, making her feel guilty and her eyes became a little uncertain.

Lu Yao knew very well that Lu Zhiqing was not wrongly accusing her of this, but that she had done it herself.

Back then, some changes happened in Gu Tianjiao's family. Because of the friendship between his fathers, he was fostered in the Lu family since he was a child.

But I didn't like this peer who was staying at home at that time. I thought he was boring and unfashionable, like a saw-mouthed gourd that couldn't produce a single fart even when hit with three sticks. He was really boring to death.

If that were all, Lu Yao might just be indifferent to him, or at most give him some trouble occasionally.

But when her father brought it up jokingly at the dinner table, saying that she and Gu Tianjiao had been engaged as children - this stirred up a hornet's nest and set off firecrackers.

Are you kidding me? You want her to marry such a poor, down-to-earth guy who lives under someone else's roof!

Lu Yao immediately turned her face away at the table, didn't eat, threw the bowl away and went back to her room in silence.

Although her father tried to comfort her by saying that he was just joking, Lu Yao was still furious.

After that, the second young lady of the Lu family began to find ways to abuse Gu Tianjiao.

Things like not allowing him to eat, not allowing the driver to pick him up from school (the family's villa is in the suburbs), deliberately throwing his things into the swimming pool... and so on.

Another time, she locked Gu Tianjiao in the cold storage in the kitchen, then took out the key and left.

But, but this can't be entirely blamed on her!

Who knew that Gu Tianjiao's mother would open such a big pharmaceutical company in the future - and he was her only child!

Lu Yao couldn't help but defend herself: I'm not completely indifferent...

Although the place where people are imprisoned is called a cold storage, the basic temperature is only maintained at two or three degrees. It is usually used to store fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. It is not enough to freeze people to death!

Besides, outside the cold storage

There are people inside... and there are still many servants outside, so they will definitely not let anything happen to Gu Tianjiao!

After comforting herself, she looked at her sister in front of her with a vigilant expression: "Why do you want the key?"

Thinking of some experiences in her past life, Lu Yao's eyes revealed a hint of resentment: "Oh, you want to pretend to be a good person in front of Tianjiao?"

Lu Zhiqing: “…”

Lu Zhiqing felt that this world was so damn unfair—she and this cheap sister actually had the same father!

They're not even supposed to be the same species!

Normally speaking, no normal person would tolerate such nonsense and random accusations.

But this heroic woman endured it with amazing perseverance.

Lu Zhiqing frowned and said, "I have nothing to say to you, but if my father knew the whole story, you would definitely be scolded."

This was indeed the case. In her previous life, Lu Yao reluctantly handed over the key only after her father arrived home.

She was then severely reprimanded and confined to her house for two days.

Gu Tianjiao also fell ill because he stayed in the cold storage for too long and was hospitalized for several weeks.

Afterwards, because she refused to apologize, she had another conflict with her family...

Wait, Lu Yao suddenly remembered something. Did Lu Zhiqing go to the hospital to see him at that time?

Damn it, was it at that time...

But fortunately, I have been reborn this time and will definitely not let this happen again!

God must have let me come back to make up for the mistakes I made when I was young and ignorant!

Thinking of this, she hurried back to her room and found the key to the cold storage. Then, without paying any attention to Lu Zhiqing at the door, she ran out in a hurry.

This time, I will never doubt Tianjiao’s love for me again!

Lu Yao's eyes couldn't help but become moist as she thought of all the kindness that man had shown her in her previous life.

If she were to live again, she would definitely give those shameless women who seduced Tianjiao a slap in the face, hold Tianjiao firmly in her hands, and make him have eyes only for her.

and also……

Lu Yao thought of the last scene in her memory of her previous life.

There was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Lu Yao saw with her own eyes a woman with scars all over her hands and an extremely calm expression.

The terrible woman used a thin and light knife to cut Gu Tianjiao's artery in front of her.
