Chapter 337 – Is Lin Wangshu the Creator?
Also, Xu Jinning, one day, I will return to the Qinghe Production Brigade and kill you once again.
Indeed, Lin Wangshu knew that the current Xu Jinning was not the Xu Jinning from this book but rather her stepsister, Xu Jinning, whom she had pushed down the stairs in her previous life.
And now, Lin Wangshu was both Lin Wangshu and Xu Jinwen.
In her previous life, she had pushed Xu Jinning down from the stairs, leading to Xu Jinning’s death.
She had thought that with Xu Jinning gone, everything in the Xu family would be hers. Without Xu Jinning, the family’s assets and company shares would naturally be hers.
After all, her stepfather only had her as his daughter now and still loved her mother so much.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Even though Xu Jinning was dead, her stepfather was busy having children with his mistress, leaving everything to that child who hadn’t even been born yet, and was unwilling to give anything to her.
He was even unwilling to have a child with her mother.
It seemed he was afraid that she, as the older sister, would compete with the future child he would have with her mother for the inheritance, and that her mother would show favoritism, so he preferred not to have a child with her mother.
Xu Jinwen felt that this man was truly cruel.
Even her mother had been hurt and devastated because of this matter.
While Xu Jinwen was still trying to find ways to become the true eldest daughter of the Xu family and seize her stepfather’s wealth, her act of pushing Xu Jinning down the stairs was discovered by Xie Ting’an.
Xie Ting’an tortured her for a long time before finally calling the police.
In the end, she also died.
Xu Jinwen never expected that after her death, she would end up in the book she had written.
Indeed, when she married into the Xu family with her mother, Xu Jinwen was envious of Xu Jinning and began writing novels, one of which featured herself as the female protagonist and Xu Jinning as the cannon fodder in a story of real and fake daughters.
In this story, she had directly written Xu Jinning to death, and she felt immense satisfaction the moment she did it.
In this narrative, she had set herself as the female protagonist and Shen Huai as her destined male lead.
As the author, she knew the future developments in the book and what kind of massive Shen family empire Shen Huai would eventually create.
Even though after transmigrating, things had deviated somewhat from the book’s plot, Xu Jinwen remained confident.
She believed that since she was in a book, everything would ultimately follow the storyline.
Those meant to succeed would succeed, those meant to fail would fail, and those meant to die would certainly die.
And as the female protagonist with a halo, everything for her would go smoothly.
However, Xu Jinwen knew that she had encountered the variable of Xu Jinning.
Before her transmigration, or rather, before she had awakened her past-life memories and was still completely Lin Wangshu, she had tried to kill Xu Jinning due to those dreams, believing that doing so would ensure everything developed as she wished.
Unfortunately, she failed.
Not only did she fail, but it also dragged her and her parents in this life into trouble.
It was only after returning to Haishi that Lin Wangshu fully awakened her past-life memories.
At that time, she was both Lin Wangshu and Xu Jinwen.
She knew that the Xu Jinning in the Qinghe Production Brigade was the stepsister she had been jealous of in her previous life.
Her appearance had caused the plot in the book to change.
This was something Xu Jinwen could not tolerate.
This was her created world, and everything should go according to her will.
Xu Jinwen believed that she, the creator of this world, should be the one to decide who should live and who should die.
She thought this way in her heart, but when it came to actually implementing it, she felt defeated.
However, Xu Jinwen was convinced that it was all Xu Jinning’s fault.
She believed that as long as she could kill Xu Jinning someday, she would still be able to dominate this world.
Lin Wangshu lay in Shen Huai’s arms, confidently looking toward the future.
*
In the Qinghe Production Brigade, Xu Jinning had no idea that her life was being targeted by someone.
And that someone was her stepsister from her previous life who had pushed her down the stairs and caused her transmigration.
Even if she knew, Xu Jinning would not be afraid.
Compared to when she first transmigrated, Xu Jinning’s character had changed.
She had become more optimistic, cheerful, and strong, no longer using passivity and detachment to cover up her weakness and fear.
Xu Jinning thought that perhaps it was because she now had people she wanted to protect—her family, Xie Ting’an… these were all people she wanted to safeguard.
Once a person has people to protect, they become stronger and fearless.
Moreover, if Xu Jinning could hear Lin Wangshu’s inner thoughts, she would certainly scoff.
If Lin Wangshu still thought that this world was just a book she wrote and that she should be the heroine with a halo after transmigrating, she was wrong.
From the moment Xu Jinning entered this world, it had long become reality, and not everything would follow the predetermined plot.
Thus, Lin Wangshu, the so-called heroine, was actually quite useless and did not have any special heroine halo.
Otherwise, the female protagonists Jiang Xiao and Murong Jing wouldn’t have ended up with such fates.
Good and evil are observed by the heavens, which is also working hard to save this originally flawed world.
Xu Jinning was unaware of Lin Wangshu’s inner thoughts and thus couldn’t retort or shatter Lin Wangshu’s delusions.
At this moment, she was going to the county town with her family to purchase some essential items for the Spring Festival.
With the approach of the Spring Festival, Xie Ting’an and Grandpa Xie were also coming soon.
In the past few days, Xu Jinning and her family had done a thorough cleaning of both the inside and outside of their home.
As Xu Jinning’s mother, Zhang Ailian, knew that Xie Ting’an was bringing his grandfather to propose, she also had to prepare some things.
Soon, the day Xie Ting’an had promised to return arrived.
It was December 28th.
The Xu family was somewhat nervous and had even dressed in new clothes.
Around noon, Xu Jinning was still helping her mother in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch.
Since Xie Ting’an had called in the morning, they were expected to arrive around noon.
As Xu Jinning and her mother finished preparing the meal, they heard the sound of car brakes outside.
From the sound, it seemed there was more than one car.
There were also some noisy sounds.
“Ningning, is it Xiao Xie and his grandfather arriving?” Zhang Ailian asked.
“It should be, Mom. I’ll go check.”
“Alright.”
Xu Jinning jogged outside, and the rest of the Xu family, hearing the commotion, also came out.
As Xu Jinning reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw three jeeps parked at the entrance.
The last two vehicles seemed to be packed full of items.
The noise came from the village children and elders who had heard the sounds and come out to see the cars, chattering among themselves.
At that moment, the door of the front jeep opened.
The person inside swung their long legs out and got out of the driver’s seat…
