Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

Chapter 42: Fake Gold's Counterattack - Real Gold's Best Friend (End)

[Host, if you don't betray her, you're the one who will die.]

The system's cold, mechanical voice rang in Jin Li's mind without a trace of emotion, striking her heart like a heavy hammer.

[But gaining favor only to betray it again, that kind of blow is...] Jin Li refuted helplessly in her heart, her heart filled with contradictions.

She knew it was immoral to do this. Xu Zhiyin's favorability towards her had just increased to 80, which meant that Xu Zhiyin had begun to truly trust her. Yet she was going to stab her in the back. This behavior was too despicable.

[Ha! Think it through! You can't escape system punishment.]

The system's voice came again, this time with a hint of impatience and threat.

Jin Li knew the system's methods; if she disobeyed the system's instructions, the punishment would be worse than death.

"I understand." Jin Li gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes.

The moment Jin Li made up her mind, she was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Xu Zhiyin's smile freeze for a moment.

She closed her eyes, signaling Jin Li to leave, as she wanted to be alone for a while.

……

When Jin Li suggested taking her somewhere, Xu Zhiyin tilted her head slightly, staring intently at Jin Li, repeatedly asking if he was sure they really wanted to go.

There was a hint of reluctance in her voice.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Zhiyin sat in the car, gazing at the scenery rushing past the window, but her thoughts drifted back to the past.

She suddenly brought up the time when she met Jin Li, their time together, and how she would share everything she received with Jin Li when she returned to her biological parents' home.

Xu Zhiyin started talking non-stop, recounting every little detail of the past.

Jin Li listened patiently at first, but a slight sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

After all, she knew that all the kindness she showed to Xu Zhiyin had ulterior motives.

But as Xu Zhiyin talked more and more, Jin Li gradually lost her composure.

Her lips began to twitch involuntarily, and a hint of irritation appeared in her eyes.

Finally, Jin Li couldn't hold back any longer and started complaining to her system: [I'm really speechless. I've never seen her so talkative before!]

She complained inwardly, feeling that Xu Zhiyin was deliberately saying these things to torment her at this moment.

[Besides, could I tell her that everything she said was my design? And all that talk about getting along well—it was clearly me carrying the burden, me doing all the work. It's perfectly normal to get some compensation, isn't it?] Jin Li thought angrily to the system in her mind. [Thank goodness I'm free today. Who would like this kind of personality?!]

In that instant, the cramped space inside the car fell silent.

Xu Zhiyin's voice stopped abruptly. She seemed to have noticed the change in Jin Li's emotions, and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes.

Jin Li was terrified by the system's warning.

[Warning! Warning! The female lead Xu Zhiyin's affection level is 0.]

[Female lead Xu Zhiyin's affection level has returned to normal.]

[Damn, what's wrong with Xu Zhiyin? She scared the hell out of me!]

Jin Li, patting her heart, then noticed that Xu Zhiyin was not speaking, and asked, "Yinyin, what's wrong?"

Her voice carried a hint of awkwardness, as if she had just emerged from a state of agitation, and a trace of impatience lingered in her eyes, though she herself was unaware of it.

"It's nothing! We've arrived." Xu Zhiyin's voice was as calm as a deep pool of water, without the slightest ripple.

Her eyes held a coldness, as if she weren't the one who had been talking incessantly about the past in the car.

Her gaze was fixed on her destination outside the car window, a house that looked somewhat luxurious yet felt strangely unfamiliar.

Jin Li never imagined that this place would become her place of despair.

Upon entering this place, she felt like a tiger with its teeth pulled, stripped of its system and deprived of its greatest support.

She can only live in this world for the rest of her life, and will never again have the special abilities given to her by the system.

Moreover, she will be suppressed by Xu Zhiyin. Xu Zhiyin will no longer have the slightest pity for her; all the past memories will vanish under Jin Li's betrayal.

That birthday party left Xu Zhiyin heartbroken; her family didn't help her and only stood by Su Zizhu's side.

Their eyes were filled with pity for Su Zizhu, as if Jin Li was the outsider who had disrupted the family harmony.

At this birthday party, Xu Zhiyin completely gave up her last shred of longing for family affection.

She looked at those so-called family members, her heart filled with self-mockery.

She once held onto hope for family, and even after enduring so much hardship, she tried to believe that her family would change one day. But at this moment, she realized how terribly wrong she had been.

So, Xu Zhiyin packed her bags and accepted Su's father's suggestion to go abroad.

Her condition was that she receive the money she was entitled to, which was the compensation she deserved from the Su family over the years.

After all, this is her eighteenth birthday celebration; she wants to be in charge of herself and live for herself.

She no longer wanted to be bound by the Su family or their affairs, nor did she want any further entanglement with Jin Li.

So while the Su family was burdened with debt by Su Zizhu, Xu Zhiyin had already started a new life abroad.

She left that place filled with painful memories and strived to find her own happiness in a new environment.

She became stronger and more independent, no longer easily trusting anyone, and learned how to better protect herself.

The members of the Su family could only struggle to survive the bitter fruits of their own actions.

After they kicked Su Zizhu out and received the full refund of the money Xu Zhiyin and the others had given her, the Su family regretted their actions.

Su Su was successfully supported by Xu Zhiyin throughout her life, and was also brought along by Xu Zhiyin.

Su Su was surprised that Xu Zhiyin chose her major in this lifetime.

Xu Zhiyin always remembered the pain of hunger, a pain that went deep into her bones. No matter how much material things her biological parents gave her later, or how much success she achieved in her career, she could not cure it.

That feeling of hunger was like a deep scar, etched into her soul, becoming a lifelong trauma.

In her memory, those days of hunger were filled with helplessness and despair.

The emptiness in her stomach felt like a bottomless black hole, swallowing her hope and joy.

Each bout of hunger felt like a merciless lash from fate.

Therefore, when faced with a choice of major, agriculture became her only option. She wanted to change this situation through her own efforts.

She didn't want to experience the agony of hunger again, and she didn't want to see other people in the world suffering from hunger.

She knew that feeling all too well; it was like a cold hand gripping her heart, making it hard to breathe.

Xu Zhiyin was kind at heart. Despite the many injustices she suffered, the hurt caused by her biological parents, and the scheming of those around her, her kindness never faded.

She did not become cold and selfish because of her own suffering. On the contrary, she transformed her pain into strength, hoping to create better living conditions for those who might go hungry.

She is like a beacon in the darkness; though she is scarred, she still strives to radiate warmth and illuminate the path for others.
