Chapter 1376: The Blackened Good Girl (11)

Tang Guo did not think that Wu Lingling's mother—her aunt—actually needed their family's help.

The reason their lives were so miserable was entirely of their own making.

Wu Lingling's father was an irresponsible drunk. Back in his youth, he had been a street thug.

Yet Wu Lingling's mother had loved that drunkard with all her heart and had ultimately married him.

Even now, she still loved that useless, alcoholic man who often caused trouble whenever he drank.

The only redeeming quality he had was that, when sober, he knew how to sweet-talk his wife, coax her, and lower himself to beg for forgiveness.

Every time he apologized, Wu Lingling's mother softened.

Even though she knew perfectly well he would never change, she always forgave him.

She worked two jobs, but not for Wu Lingling.

It was all for that drunk.

Mother Tang paid Wu Lingling's tuition and even secretly gave her spending money.

As for Wu Lingling's mother, all her hard work merely supported that alcoholic husband.

Yet whenever she talked to others, she always said she worked so hard for Wu Lingling.

Even Wu Lingling herself believed it.

It was precisely because Mother Tang pitied her younger sister that she stepped in and paid for Wu Lingling to attend this school.

After all, Wu Lingling's grades weren't good enough to get into this middle school.

Mother Tang had spent money and used her connections.

Later, when the original host darkened and started targeting Wu Lingling, her aunt had come to their house many times to make trouble.

In truth, because Wu Lingling had always been so troublesome, she had constantly felt inferior in front of Mother Tang.

Deep down, she had actually been delighted when the original host fell into ruin and became twisted.

“I need to think of a way to stop Mom from paying Wu Lingling's tuition.”

Sitting at her desk, Tang Guo muttered to herself.

The system shuddered.

Host was planning to drive Wu Lingling's family into a corner.

Still, he wholeheartedly supported her.

After all, Mother Tang's family had never been obligated to support them.

Mother Tang only pitied her younger sister for having an unreliable husband and struggling to raise a daughter by herself.

How was she supposed to know that Wu Lingling's mother simply didn't want to leave that man?

Host, that won't be easy. Your mother has a soft heart, especially toward her only sister.

“Is a younger sister more important than a daughter? Will my aunt immediately starve to death? No, she won't.”

Tang Guo carefully recalled the timeline.

Then she remembered.

This Saturday was her birthday.

The day after tomorrow.

Father Tang and Mother Tang would definitely come home.

Wu Lingling's family would come too. Their homes were close, and Tang Guo, the exemplary student, was turning sixteen.

Not only relatives living nearby, but even distant relatives would come because her family's circumstances were good.

An idea had already formed in her mind.

But when she remembered that next week she would receive that phone call, her mood darkened once more.

Yes.

That incident had happened only a few days after the original host's sixteenth birthday.

Host, everything has changed since you arrived. No one can bully you now. Whoever dares hurt you, you can retaliate against them in countless ways and get your revenge in the most satisfying manner, the system comforted her.

In truth, he felt somewhat regretful.

The previous few worlds had been pleasant, and his host's personality had gradually become brighter.

But ever since receiving the memories of this world, she had become gloomy once more.

Her smiling face while plotting against people, her polite façade hiding countless calculations—it all made him tremble.

Host, I think besides studying, you should go out more.

Maybe you'll run into your adorable husband.
