Chapter 1 Rebirth

“Boss, hehe, you know, the feel of this little girl is just different, huh? After you’ve had your fun, can you let me hehehe…”

“What kind of talk is that? We're all in this together. Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. After I’m done, all the brothers here can have a taste, hahaha, we share blessings and hardships together, ah hahaha!”

“You dead girl, what are you doing with your head down? Look up, look at me!”

A pair of large hands grabbed Jiang You’s hair and yanked it upwards, forcing her to lift her head in a humiliating posture.

The moment she looked up, the terror in the young girl’s eyes instantly turned into a blank stare.

“Heh heh, this little dark-skinned girl, her skin is a bit dark, but her looks are alright.”

The yellow-haired man in front of her licked his lips, an obscene smile spreading across his face.

The breath sprayed on her face was hot and carried a disgusting smell.

Jiang You looked at everything before her in disbelief. The yellow-haired leader, and the several shifty-eyed delinquents behind him, were the nightmare of her entire life.

In the abandoned chemical factory, the young girl lay on the concrete Ground, covered in footprints and various deep and shallow wounds.

This is!

What is going on?!

Didn’t she die?!

She clearly remembered that she and the other Experiment Subjects had jointly destroyed Forbidden Island, then massacred the entire base, and self-destructed after exhausting her abilities.

But how could she be here now?

She was dragged to this abandoned chemical factory by hooligans half a month before the apocalypse.

The yellow-haired man tugged at her hair, the sharp pain at her roots constantly reminding her that this was not a dream, not a hallucination, but real!

She was reborn!

Back to half a month before the apocalypse!

Back to before everything began!

She’s alive, she’s alive hahahahahahaha!!!

Jiang You’s lips curved upwards uncontrollably, a smile she couldn't suppress.

The yellow-haired man frowned. He had just run his hand over Jiang You’s delicate cheek, when he suddenly noticed that the young girl’s eyes not only showed no fear, but were filled with a strange excitement.

His heart immediately skipped a beat.

Damn it, could this girl be a masochist!

But then he thought, no matter if she’s a masochist or not, as long as it feels good, that’s all that matters.

He patted the flesh on Jiang You’s cheek and puckered his lips, leaning in.

The few hooligans behind him applauded and cheered.

“Boss, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, hehe, don't delay, go for a home run!”

“Boss is mighty!”

Looking at the puckered lips, resembling a chicken’s rear, getting closer and closer, she felt her stomach churn.

If it were in the apocalypse, she could kill three such characters by herself, but now it was before the apocalypse.

She was reborn, but only her soul was reborn, not her body.

She was still that scrawny, malnourished girl.

Jiang You subtly grabbed a handful of dust from the Ground and flashed a brilliant smile at the man. The man was only momentarily stunned. The next second, Jiang You threw the dust in her hand at the man’s eyes with lightning speed.

“Ah, my eyes!”

The moment his hand released her hair, Jiang You took the opportunity to lunge forward, tackling the man to the Ground.

Having just been reborn, she was overly thin due to long-term malnutrition, and her body simply lacked the strength to directly defeat an adult man. She could only use his momentum against him.

The man had been careless for a moment, but now that he reacted, he immediately grabbed Jiang You’s neck.

The few hooligans behind him also quickly surrounded them.

“You little bitch…” The man was choking Jiang You’s neck, preparing to slap her.

But at this moment.

Jiang You’s peripheral vision immediately locked onto something. During her struggle, she directly snatched the keys from his waist, flipped open the nail clippers, and pushed out the nail file.

She stabbed directly towards his neck!

The entire sequence of movements was fluid and decisive!

“You dare!!”

“Pfft~”

The blade of the nail file wasn’t sharp, but Jiang You used every ounce of her strength, fiercely plunging the nail file into the man’s neck, then gripping the nail clippers and pulling hard.

A gash instantly tore open on the man’s neck, blood gushing out. He clutched his neck in disbelief, convulsing on the Ground.

For someone who frequently kills, any possible everyday item can become a lethal weapon. Jiang You had excellent learning habits, so the first thing she did upon returning was to notice the nail clippers on the yellow-haired man’s waist.

Hot blood splattered into her eyes. In a blink, her entire eyeballs instantly turned red.

The remaining hooligans were stunned by the sight.

“Damn it, what kind of girl is this, how can she be so ruthless!”

“Let’s call the police, this, this, someone’s dead!!”

“Are you f*cking sick? Calling the police is just walking into a trap!”

“Go! Avenge Brother Jun! Kill this little bitch!”

The three swarmed forward.

Jiang You assessed the power disparity between them. With her current physique, one against three was a bit risky.

But it didn't matter. Killing, sometimes, didn't require much strength.

More important than strength was technique. Killing was an act that required breaking through psychological barriers, but once the first person was killed, there was no psychological burden afterward.

Especially since her hands were already stained with countless lives.

Seeing the few people rush at her, she turned and ran.

Without a second of hesitation.

“Catch her, don't let this bitch get away!”

The three hooligans quickly followed, but Jiang You ran into a dark warehouse with no way out ahead.

“Hahaha, you little bitch, you can’t run now, can you! There’s no door ahead!”

The three entered the warehouse, holding weapons like sticks.

But the warehouse was piled with abandoned iron cans of all sizes, and they didn't know where that girl was hiding.

“Let’s split up and search, we must find this girl!”

“Damn it, when we find her, we’ll strip her naked and hang her from the rafters, the ungrateful bitch!”

But no sooner had the words left his mouth, before they could even split into three groups.

The warehouse door behind them suddenly closed.

Without the only light source, the entire warehouse plunged into darkness.

The few of them panicked a little.

“Damn it, Second Brother, what are you doing closing the door, I can’t see anything!!”

“Brother, I didn’t close the door!”

“Bullshit, you were walking at the very back, if it wasn’t you, then who was it? Could it be… pfft!”

“Damn it, who touched my back!! F*ck!! Ah ah ah ah!!!”

“Third Brother, Third Brother, why aren’t you talking anymore!!”

The last hooligan, called Junior, panicked. His legs went soft, and he collapsed directly onto the Ground, his hand directly touching a large patch of warm, wet liquid.

“This is, what is this! What is this!!! Ah ah ah ah!”

He screamed, trying to scramble up, but the Ground was slippery, and he failed twice.

On the third attempt, he finally fumbled his way to his feet. Just then, he vaguely felt something approaching him.

“Bang!!”

A muffled thud struck his knee, his legs bent backward, and he fell heavily to his knees on the Ground.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!”

A piercing scream instantly burst from the man’s throat.

At this moment, the warehouse door finally opened.

Against the light, the slender girl held a square iron rod, obtained from who knows where, and looked at him coldly.

She approached step by step, the sound of the iron rod dragging and scraping on the Ground made one's scalp tingle.

Her gaze was one of disgust, as if she were looking at a rat in a gutter.

The man panicked. He instinctively looked left and right, and only then did he realize that the wet thing he had touched earlier was actually a large puddle of blood.

One of his two brothers also had a large gash on his neck, made by a nail file, bubbling with blood.

He could only make gurgling sounds.

The other had a caved-in back of his head, lying face down in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in death, staring towards him with malevolence.

He finally realized that this woman was truly going for the kill.

In terror, his body trembled like a sieve, and a stream of urine flowed down his pant leg; he had become incontinent.

Jiang You frowned at him, “Who told you to do this?”

She knew this man. They usually had no interaction, she only knew that he hung out with the hooligans outside and constantly called himself 'Big Brother' in class.

But there was no such enmity between them.

“You, you can’t kill me, I, I’m not even nineteen yet!”

“I, I…”

Chen Ren shook his head frantically, but seeing Jiang You directly raise the stick and aim it at his head.

Chen Ren quickly said, “It was Li Wei! She told me to do it!”

“Li Wei gave me twenty thousand yuan to call some big brothers from the streets to ruin you, and then record a video to send to her. She wanted to ruin you!”

“Really, it was really her. If you don’t believe me, I can show you our transfer records!”

“She said that with the video, you would be her dog from then on, and you’d have to do whatever she told you to!”

“She said she wanted to use the video to threaten you, to make you apply to the same university as her, and continue to be her slave in university or something!”

Chen Ren thoroughly betrayed Li Wei in one breath.

Li Wei.

That certainly sounds like something she would do.

She always liked to use such dirty tricks against girls, it was truly disgusting!

“I, I, I’m done talking, please let me go, let me go…”

“I know I was wrong, I’ll never do bad things again, I was just confused for a moment. We know each other, so please give me a break.

I will absolutely keep their deaths a secret, I won’t say a single word!”

This bitch, when he found an opportunity, he would definitely kill her!

But a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him, so he would endure for now.

However, Jiang You didn’t let him go. After he finished speaking, she slammed the stick into the back of his head.

She found his phone on his body, opened his social media, and indeed saw the chat history and transfer records with Li Wei.

She also found a group on his phone, filled with various eye-watering videos.

Chen Ren and these few hooligans frequently appeared in the videos.

In her previous life, to avoid being humiliated by the few of them, when the yellow-haired man was pulling down her pants, she kicked him, breaking his nose, and desperately ran away. When she realized she couldn't escape, she jumped into the chemical pool with a resolve to die.

She could swim and held her breath in the pool without surfacing. The few men thought she was dead and left.

When she emerged from the chemical pool, her skin was red and burned by the corrosive chemical raw materials. Although she wasn't disfigured, she had a high fever for a long time because she had inhaled some chemical substances.

By the time she reported the case.

The few hooligans had already left the city and couldn't be found.

Chen Ren, being under the legal age for criminal responsibility, only received a verbal reprimand and paid some compensation, and there was no further follow-up.

But at the police station, he cried profusely, claiming he was forced by the hooligans.

Yet, he was unbridled in front of her.

“Hahaha, I’m not even nineteen yet, the law can’t judge me, what can you do to me?”

“Bitch, if you have the guts, don’t walk alone in the future. If I find another chance, I’ll still get you!”

“…”

This guy was trash! Trash among trash!

Thinking of these.

She gave him a few more blows with the stick, then dragged each of their legs, pulling them and throwing them into the abandoned chemical pool.

Then she overturned the abandoned chemical raw materials to cover the bloodstains on the Ground, and set the abandoned chemical factory on fire.

If an abandoned chemical factory that had been derelict for years caught fire, even if the police came, the chemical solution and blood on the Ground would have already mixed and become indistinguishable. And no one would be bored enough to drain the factory’s pool.

That pool was very deep; only those who had fallen in knew.

There were still half a month until the apocalypse, and she had to handle today's events cleanly.

After all, order had not yet collapsed, and she couldn't let anyone get a handle on her.

There were many things to do in these two weeks; she couldn't waste time.

A secret is only a secret if only you know it.

Therefore, not one of those four pieces of trash could leave alive.

She had been locked in the Forbidden Tower, lying on the operating table day and night, allowing others to peel her skin and dismember her bones. That hellish place had turned her into a demon as well.

P.S.: This is a parallel world, with the age of criminal responsibility set at eighteen. Please do not confuse it with the real world~

Jiang You handled everything and quickly left the abandoned chemical plant.

She returned home, changed her clothes, and quietly burned all the blood-stained garments.

That evening, sitting at home, the local news on TV reported a sudden fire at the old, dilapidated chemical plant, with no mention of anything else.

But that chemical pond was so deep; who would bother to salvage anything from it?

After dinner, her uncle and aunt began to lecture her.

They weren't urging her to apply to a certain university, but rather to get married.

…

“What are you doing? Didn’t you hear me talking to you? I’m your own uncle; would I really harm you?”

“Jiang You! Your uncle is talking to you, why are you spacing out?!

Have some manners!

Did you read all your books for nothing?!”

Jiang You held the enamel mug in her hands. Above the old living room, the ceiling fan whirred, as if it could fall at any moment.

She looked at the hands holding the mug, very thin, like a few sticks.

Rubbing the thin calluses on her fingertips, Jiang You’s thoughts surged uncontrollably.

The man and woman in front of her were her uncle and aunt.

In her previous life, the first thing she did after escaping the Forbidden Tower was to find her uncle’s family, dismember them, and send every single one of them neatly to their deaths.

Looking at the honest, simple middle-aged man and the plump, shrewd-faced woman in front of her, Jiang You found it somewhat laughable.

Her parents died in a factory explosion when she was five. After their death, the factory signed a contract for 30,000 yuan in monthly compensation to raise Jiang You.

This money would continue until Jiang You turned eighteen.

Originally, they wouldn't have compensated so much, but Jiang You's parents were both involved in the accident at the factory, making her an orphan.

The factory director simply used her as an example, even inviting reporters to cover it, giving high compensation, advertising his factory, and salvaging its image.

It was then that her uncle and aunt became her guardians, receiving her parents' compensation every month and moving into Jiang You’s house.

Jiang You was less than five years old and knew nothing about all this.

No one even told her about the compensation money.

Her uncle and aunt constantly said they had raised her, that she was a parasite in this family, and that it was a great kindness.

She believed them, a child under five whose parents suddenly disappeared.

Naturally, she trusted her uncle who took care of her with all her heart.

Overnight, the family photo of her parents in the living room became one of her uncle and aunt.

Her parents' room was slept in by her uncle and aunt;

Her room became her cousin's room;

The study became her male cousin's room.

And she stood at the entrance of the utility room, hugging her quilt.

After all, her uncle and aunt's family was raising her, so it was only right to give them the big rooms.

The adults all said that she should be grateful and not be an ingrate.

She started learning to help her aunt with household chores, fearing that others would abandon her.

Later, all the housework, including cooking, cleaning, and washing clothes, fell upon her shoulders, and her aunt’s hands grew white and plump.

Her uncle would always bring her small cakes when she was secretly crying alone.

He would gently comfort her.

“A-You, you must know how to be grateful. Although your aunt and cousins might have bad tempers, they aren’t bad-hearted. We are family, and it’s only right for your uncle to raise you, so A-You, you must be obedient, okay?”

At that time, Jiang You had no idea that there was no such thing as her uncle raising her.

Because her uncle's entire family lived off her parents' compensation money.

They were the true parasites!

And the scene before her now was exactly when her uncle and aunt, after she was accepted into a top-tier university, teamed up to persuade her to marry the boss's son.

But their plans ultimately fell through.

Because half a month later, the apocalypse broke out, and who would still care about getting married?

On July 3rd, 21XX, the entire world would be turned upside down…

A bit of spittle landed on her eyelid.

Jiang You's eyelid twitched, pulling her out of her memories.

“Jiang You, your parents died early, and I, as your uncle, treat you like my own daughter. I have to plan for your future.

Tell me, do you have any special skills? Besides, there are so many university students nowadays; do you think you’ll find a good job just by going to university?”

“Jiang, think carefully, even if you go to university, you’ll end up being a 996 or 007 corporate slave after graduation, what future is there in that?

It’s better to marry Boss Wang’s son. Their family has assets worth hundreds of millions; you’ll become a wealthy madam if you marry him!”

Her aunt’s plump body gesticulated wildly, her face flushed.

She looked so excited, as if she wished she could marry him herself.

Jiang You took a sip of the water in her mug.

She raised an eyebrow, “Auntie, you seem to envy Boss Wang’s family’s wealth so much, why don’t you marry him yourself?

You might be a bit old to marry his son, but marrying the old man should still be possible.”

Her aunt's face flushed with anger, the fat on her face trembling.

“You wretched girl, is that how you talk to your elders?”

“Oh, right, do elders persuade their niece to marry a fool?”

Jiang You looked at her coldly, her eyes filled with surging killing intent, which she then suppressed.

She had killed those thugs; for a while, no one would trace it back to her.

But if her uncle’s family disappeared, she would definitely be suspected, and then people would watch her every move.

That would be very inconvenient, and besides, if her uncle and aunt died now, who would negotiate her bride price?

She had come back empty-handed; she couldn't start empty-handed again.

This house could be sold for money, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to hoard supplies.

She remembered that the bride price they offered—no, to be precise, the life-selling money—was very high…

Jiang You lowered her head, staring at the constantly swaying shadow of the ceiling fan in her water mug.

A faint smile imperceptibly rose in her eyes.

Her aunt: “What’s the point of a girl reading so many books? You’ll end up marrying anyway, so why not marry early!”

Jiang You: “You’re going to die of old age anyway, why don’t you just die now?!

If it’s useless for girls to study, then tell my cousin not to study!

Marry early and have a string of children hanging on you!”

Her aunt glared, “Can your cousin be compared to you?!”

“Yes, they can’t be compared. Animals can’t be compared to humans.”

“Who are you calling an animal?”

“Whoever fits the description!”

“Enough!” Li Tianming roared, stopping Ge Chunhua’s cursing.

“This little bitch is cursing me, didn’t you hear?!”

Ge Chunhua was red-faced and furious.

Li Tianming’s chest heaved violently, air whistling from his nose, wishing he could slap Jiang You twice.

But he still feigned a benevolent look, glaring angrily at Ge Chunhua.

“I said enough! Don’t pressure Xiao You anymore!

If she wants to study, let her study!

I may be incompetent as an uncle, but even if I have to sell everything, even sell my blood, I will support her studies!

Jiang You is my sister’s daughter, my own niece!

At worst, we’ll let Yingyue not go to university; we’ll send her to the factory to screw in screws!

No matter what, I cannot let down my sister!”

As Li Tianming spoke, his eyes were red, and he looked at Jiang You with gentle determination.

He was playing the role of a good uncle who would do anything for his sister’s child.

“Xiao You, don’t worry, your uncle will definitely find a way for you to study!

Your uncle will figure out the money for university!”

After speaking, he somewhat guiltily pulled Ge Chunhua’s hand.

“Ge Chunhua, I know I’ve wronged you, but Xiao You is my sister’s daughter, and I cannot let down my sister.

I’ve also let down Yingyue and Haochen.

It’s all my fault; if only I weren’t so incompetent, the three children wouldn’t have to struggle so much!”

They say men don’t easily shed tears, but at this moment, he was suppressing his sobs, trembling all over.

Ge Chunhua hugged Li Tianming, her face filled with heartache, and roared furiously at Jiang You.

“Jiang You, do you have any conscience?

Look what you’ve driven your uncle to?

Are you trying to force him to his death?!!

He’s just your uncle, not your parents; raising you this big is already enough!

Back then, we were afraid you wouldn’t adapt to the countryside, so our whole family moved to the city to be with you and raise you, but what about you?

Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!”

These two, one playing the good cop and one playing the bad cop, had acting skills so superb they could win an Oscar.

If it were the old Jiang You, seeing this scene, she would definitely feel guilty and tell Li Tianming that she wouldn't go to school anymore.

But now, Jiang You watched the couple's performance with composure.

She only felt that they were born actors.

At the same time, she pitied herself for being deceived for over a decade; they had used countless similar tricks to make her compromise.

"Isn't moving from the countryside to the city what you've always dreamed of? Why do you make it sound like you've suffered a loss?

Back then, you weren't the only relatives who wanted to be my guardians and take care of me; other uncles and granduncles were all scrambling to move to the city.

You shamelessly snatched this opportunity for yourselves.

Aunt, you're taking advantage and still acting innocent, like a prostitute trying to set up a memorial arch?

Are you still treating me like a three-year-old?"

Seeing that she was unmoved, and even completely overturning everything from back then,

Ge Chunhua realized that her little niece had grown up, and perhaps she had recently heard something from others.

Her biggest confidence was that Jiang You was soft-natured, and had been brainwashed since childhood, valuing this kindness greatly and being very obedient.

But now, Jiang You, for some unknown reason, had a breakthrough in her mind, making them difficult to control.

So, her tone softened.

"Xiao You, your uncle at least raised you; just consider it helping your uncle out.

It's also your good-for-nothing cousin who owes a lot of money outside; we really have no choice!

Although Boss Wang's son is a bit simple-minded, he can take care of himself.

You won't need to serve him if you marry him, and there's endless money!

Aunt is kneeling to beg you, please help your uncle!

If you don't help your uncle, your cousin will definitely be beaten to death by loan sharks. If he dies, your uncle won't have a life either.

You don't want to see your uncle suffer a fate worse than death, do you?

I don't want to drag you down either, but your older cousin is a fool, and no one wants her.

Your college entrance exam results this year are so good; they want a smart daughter-in-law like you!"

Li Tianming remained silent, his eyes red and tearful, looking at Jiang You with guilt.

Ge Chunhua knelt on the ground, pleading in a low voice.

It was as if she was the culprit behind all this, and if she didn't agree, she would be committing a great sin.

If it were before, Jiang You would never have dared to let her kneel to her; she would have felt so guilty she would have cried herself to death.

But now.

"Elders kneeling to juniors shortens one's lifespan. It seems you truly hate me to the core, wishing for my early demise.

"

Ge Chunhua waved her hands repeatedly. Jiang You, this little girl, was stupid and soft-hearted; she was the easiest to coax.

Just as she was about to say something nice, she heard Jiang You continue.

"How much betrothal gift did Boss Wang give you? Enough for you to beg me so humbly?"

She estimated that the money Li Haochen owed outside was a huge sum.

It was important to note that from childhood to adulthood, Ge Chunhua had never bowed her head to her like this.

Every day, she would constantly mention the 'kindness of raising her' to manipulate her, but lies told too often made even herself believe them.

She even genuinely believed that she had bestowed great kindness upon Jiang You.

Jiang You looked at Ge Chunhua's stiff smile, feeling a bit curious.

In her previous life, after she refused to marry Boss Wang's son, Li Tianming and his wife, although they outwardly begged her for a few days, then disappointedly didn't bring up the matter again.

She thought the matter was over.

But within two days, they drugged her dinner and let Boss Wang's foolish son in, wanting to force the issue.

Although they didn't succeed in the end, it was disgusting enough.

At the hospital, her uncle knelt before her, apologizing, saying he didn't expect Boss Wang's foolish son to be able to climb in through the window and so on.

He pushed all the blame onto that fool.

As for the drugging, he never mentioned it.

He even tried to commit suicide to prove his innocence. Faced with the uncle who had raised her for many years, Jiang You chose to believe him again.

Ge Chunhua hesitated, "One million."

Jiang You, "Swear it. If you lie, tomorrow you two will be hit by a car when you go out. Li Yingyue will marry an abusive pervert for life, unable to escape, beaten to death alive. Li Haochen will have his hands and feet chopped off by loan sharks, and his future sons will be born without an anus! Li Haoxuan will indulge in drinking, whoring, gambling, and drugs, and engage in all forms of deception and theft, eating prison food for life, and finally eating peanuts! Your maternal relatives will all die a horrible death, and all your ancestral graves will be dug up by dogs!"

Ge Chunhua gasped, glaring at Jiang You with anger and shock. What the hell kind of oath was that?!

This wretched girl was clearly cursing her!

Some people in this world are just strange; the more bad things they do, the more guilty they feel, and the more they believe in Buddhism.

Ge Chunhua was such a person.

So she gritted her teeth and spoke again, "Six million!"

Li Tianming glared at his wife, then turned his gaze back to Jiang You, trembling as he said,

"Xiao You, your uncle is sorry for you, your uncle is useless!"

Ge Chunhua's eyes lit up. Since Jiang You asked that, she must be agreeing!

Hmph, a little girl, she's still completely under her thumb!

"If you agree to marry Boss Wang's son, anything is negotiable!

It's really only six million; I didn't lie to you!

As long as you save your cousin this one time, your aunt will owe you for life!

I'll treat you like my own daughter!"

Jiang You nodded, seemingly compromising.

"I didn't expect to be quite valuable, worth six million.

I can marry, but I have conditions. You must give me my father's Relics.

Especially that jade bracelet; that bracelet isn't valuable, but it's a token of my parents' love, so it has special meaning.

Move out of my house before dark tomorrow. Additionally, I want four million in betrothal gifts.

The remaining two million you can use to pay off debts.

Agree to these conditions, and I'll agree to have the wedding a month from now."

When her father's Relics were mentioned, Jiang You's eyes darkened.

"You want four million? You're not big, but your appetite certainly is!"

Ge Chunhua pouted, "You're a young girl, aren't you afraid of something happening with so much money?

Why don't you let your uncle keep it? You know he loves you the most; he definitely wouldn't harm you!"

She winked at Li Tianming.

If she remembered correctly, at this time, her older cousin had already been caught by the debt collectors.

Otherwise, Li Tianming and his wife wouldn't be in such a hurry.

They even wanted to marry off her older cousin, but Boss Wang said he wanted a girl who was good-looking, well-educated, and smart.

Although her older cousin was not bad-looking, she was entirely focused on her appearance, her grades were a mess, and she paid to attend a third-rate university.

After an investigation, Boss Wang didn't want her.

Boss Wang's own son was an idiot with violent tendencies, and he had already beaten two wives to death.

Therefore, the price Boss Wang was offering now was exceptionally high; he wanted a girl with good academic results, and not too pretty, as too pretty meant not obedient.

But now was not the era of not having enough to eat or wear; even parents with a little conscience, even if they favored sons over daughters, no one was willing to watch their own daughter go to her death.

These few million, despite the high price, were clearly blood money!

Moreover, Boss Wang's demands were not low; although he didn't want a too pretty girl, he wanted to find a smart and excellent girl to improve his grandson's genes.

Hope the next generation wouldn't be an idiot anymore.

What's more, he wanted a pure girl, one who hadn't been in a relationship.

In his eyes, perhaps good grades meant smart.

Anyway, Jiang You always knew she wasn't a smart person; otherwise, she wouldn't have spent over a decade living with them and still not seen the wolves around her, even treating them as benefactors.

"Then I won't marry.

Anyway, you can't tie me down; this is the new society.

If something happens to me, and I'm unwillingly married to Boss Wang's son, I'll find a way to torment him, to kill him.

After all, we'd be a couple; it would be very convenient for me to act."

Jiang You glanced indifferently at Li Tianming, "Uncle, you're getting me married, not making an enemy, right?

What do you think will happen to Boss Wang's son in my hands?

Will he let you off?"

Li Tianming was about to open his mouth to coax her, saying they wouldn't marry her off.

But Jiang You glanced at him and added, "If you say 'no marriage' even once, I really won't marry. So don't be hypocritical."

Li Tianming then feigned a look of guilt, lowering his head and sighing.

"You dare!" Ge Chunhua immediately retorted.

If she lost the money, what would happen to her son?

The loan sharks said if the money wasn't repaid, they would remove and sell her son's organs!

Jiang You stared directly at him, "Whether I dare or not, you'll find out if you try."

Ge Chunhua looked at her niece before her and backed down.

Her son's life was at stake; she dared not gamble.

Those ink-black pupils also sent a chill down Li Tianming's spine.

For some reason, he felt as if the Jiang You before him had changed, with an indescribable sense of strangeness.

The old her, no matter what happened, would always be quiet, at most hiding away to cry softly.

She never talked back to him, but now she was like a little hedgehog covered in thorns.

Thinking of this, he hardened his heart, raised his palm, and slapped Ge Chunhua's face fiercely.

"Slap!"

"Enough!

It's already an act of utmost benevolence for Xiao You to help our family!

What more do you want to force her to do!!

That six million was originally hers, and I, as her uncle, am useless for not being able to give her a dowry, and having to use part of her betrothal gift to pay off debts, which is already enough to be sorry for her!

If you force Xiao You any further, I'll divorce you!!"

He shouted, his face red.

If Jiang You hadn't been reborn, she would truly believe that he was forced and sincerely felt sorry for his niece.

What superb acting, but unfortunately, the audience has woken up.
