Dreaming of Divorcing Her (GL) - Chapter 6
“Madam, your complexion doesn’t look too good,” the old butler said with his usual smile.
“…”
Her complexion would only be good if ghosts existed, okay?!
The suona, as a kingly instrument, held an extremely mysterious position in the history of Chinese musical instrument development.
You could listen to it standing, sitting, and of course, you could also cover yourself with a white sheet and listen lying down.
Since ancient times, when the high-pitched and bright sound of a suona rang out, it signified either ascending to heaven or a wedding ceremony.
Of course, in Wen Qing’s eyes, the suona Jiang Yunjuan had prepared for her hadn’t even been played yet, but it was already about to send her directly to the afterlife.
Wen Qing carefully considered her words, “I… I think…”
“Excuse me for being blunt, Madam, but your face is a bit pale. Should I call the family doctor over?” the old butler asked with a slight bow, looking very respectful.
“No need, no need!” Wen Qing quickly waved her hands, “I didn’t sleep well last night! Drinking more hot water will do the trick!”
The old butler nodded with a smile, “Very well, Madam.”
Wen Qing frowned, feeling extremely terrified of this suona, “It looks a bit expensive, I’m afraid I’ll break it… How about…”
“It’s alright, Madam,” the old butler said with a smile, “This was specially prepared for you by President Jiang. She said that since you appreciate national musical instruments so much, you should have the best one. President Jiang specially bid for this suona for you at an auction in Paris, paying a high price of thirty million. President Jiang is truly thoughtful towards you.”
What the hell…
Could they even auction suonas in Paris?
And for thirty million??
Wen Qing’s heart was bleeding. What couldn’t Jiang Yunjuan do with thirty million? If she had too much money and nowhere to spend it, she should give it to her!
The old butler glanced down at the watch on his wrist and said respectfully to Wen Qing, “Madam, you still have 4 hours and 48 minutes. President Jiang said she hopes to hear your suona solo when she returns home. Please hurry up and practice.”
Wen Qing: “…”
“Oh, right, Madam,” the old butler said with a smile, “During this time, all of us will go out and leave you with a quiet and comfortable practice space.”
After saying this, he winked at the servants in the room, and all the servants left knowingly.
Before leaving, the old butler even kindly reminded her, “There are still 4 hours and 45 minutes before President Jiang returns. Madam, please do your best~”
Wen Qing weakly covered her forehead. Don’t ask, the answer was that she especially regretted it.
She shouldn’t have told Jiang Yunjuan that she was learning the suona. Perhaps she should have told Jiang Yunjuan that she was learning boxing.
No, learning boxing wouldn’t work either. What if Jiang Yunjuan brought in a world boxing champion to fight her…
Wen Qing shivered. The suona was still better.
“Little Flower! Get out here!” In desperation, Wen Qing could only call out to Little Flower in her mind.
“Wen Qing, I’m here…” A mechanical voice quickly sounded in her ear, “Are you in trouble?”
“I want to ask you something right now, and you have to answer truthfully.”
Little Flower was quite frightened by Wen Qing’s serious expression, “Okay… go ahead…”
Wen Qing, emboldened by desperation, asked it coldly, “Tell me, what would be the consequences if I took a gun right now and shot Jiang Yunjuan?”
“Uh… I advise you to think twice before acting. After all, guns are controlled items in this book world. Moreover, if the female lead dies, the entire world will collapse, and you will die too. I’ve already told you countless times before.”
The thought of her own life possibly ending here instantly calmed Wen Qing down, “Okay, I understand.”
“Hmm… Besides, the official plot hasn’t even started yet, and your official mission hasn’t been activated, so…”
Little Flower suddenly stopped, realizing it had probably let something slip.
Wen Qing still caught the loophole in its words and questioned it with a dark face, “Come here, Little Flower, tell me first, what do you mean by ‘my official mission hasn’t been activated yet’?”
“Uh… that’s just nonsense I was spouting…” Little Flower, usually with a mechanical voice, actually sounded a bit coquettish.
“Playing cute is shameful and useless!”
“…”
Seeing that Little Flower was too scared to speak, Wen Qing coaxed it, “Please tell me the truth, Little Flower. Anyway, this sister won’t hit you, right?”
“Alright…” Little Flower weighed the pros and cons repeatedly before finally saying, “Actually, you’ve read this novel too. After Jiang Yunjuan and Su Liyang meet, Su Liyang, as the female lead who will be doted on in this story, will encounter various important people in her life during her journey to dominate the entertainment industry.”
Wen Qing nodded with a smile, “Mmm hmm hmm~ So?”
“These important people include a domineering CEO in the entertainment industry, a frustrated screenwriter who was plagiarized and then blacklisted, and even a top-tier movie star, a goddess who returned from studying abroad. Without exception, they will all fall deeply in love with Su Liyang and become huge obstacles in Jiang Yunjuan’s pursuit of her.”
“Mmm hmm hmm~ So?”
“So! Your mission is to attract the attention of these people and make them all fall hopelessly in love with you. That way, wouldn’t Jiang Yunjuan and Su Liyang’s love path be smooth sailing? Then Jiang Yunjuan won’t end up turning evil…”
“Turning evil?” Wen Qing finally couldn’t help but interrupt it, “You mean Jiang Yunjuan might actually turn evil in the end? Why didn’t you ever tell me this three years ago?”
Little Flower gradually felt guilty, “Ahem… wasn’t I worried you wouldn’t want to be bound to me?”
Wen Qing said with a cold face, “So you lied to me?”
“How can the affairs of a transmigrator be called lying… But Wen Qing, the mission isn’t really that difficult, and with your face, wouldn’t those movie queens and academic geniuses all fall into your hands easily?”
“Heh!”
Wen Qing suddenly felt like she had been completely screwed over by this dog system!
When they first bound, Little Flower had simply been fooling her, saying that as long as she held out until Su Liyang appeared, she could directly take the money and leave. The dog system had even told her back then that after she finished this world, she could either choose to return to her original world or go to a vacation world, where she would become an unparalleled empress with a harem of three thousand beauties, flipping a different consorts every night for over ten years, with no repeats.
But now the dog system was telling her that her official mission hadn’t even started yet?
Wen Qing wanted to cry but had no tears and could only accept her fate, “Just tell me straight up now, how much else are you hiding from me? Also, so what if Jiang Yunjuan turns evil in the end? Can she destroy the world or something?”
“Yes…”
Wen Qing: “???”
“It seems… the Jiang Yunjuan in this world is a bug that even our Lord God can’t clearly detect…”
“You got that right,” Wen Qing nodded in agreement, “That Jiang Yunjuan is a bug. Would a normal person ask me to play a suona solo?”
“…”
Little Flower continued, “In short, the blackened Jiang Yunjuan will destroy the entire book world, eventually leading to a big explosion in all our system spaces. Even all the hosts who are doing missions in all the spaces will also perish, body and soul.”
“Our Lord God and the employees of the system department have been working overtime, almost exhausting all their strength, to repair the few remaining worlds. And the source of the problem lies with the female lead of this book, Jiang Yunjuan.”
Wen Qing grasped the key point and asked it, “You mean, if Jiang Yunjuan turns evil again this time and destroys this book, then I’m done for too? Is that what you mean?”
“…Yes.”
Wen Qing took a deep breath, “Then what’s the trigger for Jiang Yunjuan turning evil? Is it problems in her relationship with Su Liyang?”
“I guess that’s it…”
“You guess?”
“Yes… Actually, I’m also a bit confused as to why the previous host, at the end of the plot, which was the moment Jiang Yunjuan and Su Liyang had their happy ending, Jiang Yunjuan suddenly turned evil.”
Wen Qing made a bold guess, “Do you think it’s possible that Jiang Yunjuan actually likes Wen Qing?”
Little Flower: “…”
Wen Qing gave a self-deprecating laugh, also feeling it was highly unlikely, “Hey, just kidding.”
At this moment, a knock sounded on the door, “Madam, are you ready?”
It was the old butler’s voice.
Wen Qing asked, “What is it?”
The old butler pushed the door open, his hands clasped in front of his abdomen, and said respectfully, “It’s like this, Madam, President Jiang just called and said she’s almost back at the Jiang residence.”
Wen Qing was shocked, “Why so fast? What about the four hours?”
The old butler smiled, “President Jiang didn’t say. May I ask if you are ready?”
Wen Qing said expressionlessly, “Ready.”
The old butler nodded respectfully, closed the door, and left.
The moment he left, Wen Qing immediately asked, “Little Flower, hurry, hurry, hurry, tell me how much it costs to acquire the [Suona Skill]?”
Little Flower’s voice immediately sounded, with a businesslike attitude, “Greetings, Host. The [Suona Skill] in the system store is divided into two types. 1: Lifetime Suona Skill, granting the ability to play all scores, total value 10 billion. 2: Single-Song Suona Skill, granting the ability to play a single score, value varies according to the difficulty level of the score.”
Without even thinking, Wen Qing said, “I choose 2.”
“Okay, Host. Based on your selection, I have carefully chosen two options for you. 1: [Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix], value 50 million.”
Wen Qing was speechless, “50 million? Why don’t you just rob me?”
“Then does Host choose 2?”
Wen Qing asked it, “What is 2?”
“It’s [Happy Breakup] oh~ Its value is only 1 yuan~~”
Wen Qing: “…”
