Iâll 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.
âRumbleâ¦â Jiang Xiaomanâs 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 didnât allow her to eat them, so Jiang Xiaoman rarely got to eat them.
She looked at Hong Xingguo blankly. Although she didnât 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, âWant to eat?â
Jiang Xiaoman nodded.
âToo bad.â
â¦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 couldnât 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 wouldnât 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 wouldâve thoughtâ¦
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 heartâs 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, âSystem, points are the real deal. They can save lives, and can also be exchanged for food. I will definitely work hard to earn points.â
System: ââ¦â¦â
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 couldnât help her escape from this villainâs clutches.
System said, ââ¦Host, can you be even crueler?â
âAm I wrong?â Jiang Xiaoman replied.
ââ¦Okay.â She was the daddy, the system couldnât talk back to her. The system didnât 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 couldnât figure out why Hong Xingguo wanted to kidnap her. Since she couldnât understand it, then whatever. She began to think about her current situation.
She didnât want to be sold for money, and she didnât 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, âBig villain! I want to negotiate with you!â
Hong Xingguo was so angry that he glared at her fiercely, âGo away! What negotiate?! Go sleep!â
âIf you take me back, Iâll give you money! I have thousands of New Yearâs Eve money, Iâll give them all to you!â
Just a few thousands?
Hmph, that amount didnât tempt him.
Hong Xingguo picked her up, âGo to sleep, we still need to walk a long way tomorrow.â
Go? Where to?
Jiang Xiaoman panicked a little. She began to struggle with her little legs but she couldnât stop him from lifting her.
After struggling for a while, she burst into tears and said, âYou big bad guy! I know youâre going to sell me for money! I know you wonât let me go! But I still have a wish before I die, you must help me fulfill it! Otherwise, Iâll die right in front of your eyes!â
This was a trick that she learned from the system.
It was very useful.
Hong Xingguoâs face changed. âAre you threatening me?â
âYes!â
