Chapter 297 Not a Stepmother
Lin Liuyi, the top salesperson who successfully secured two more orders for Qin Yue, finally felt a little relieved, and then she was urged to finish her manuscript again.
What should she write? She's written so many different articles already, and now she's a little lost.
I've got it! Let's write a story about a person with supernatural abilities related to jade gambling.
Lin Liuyi remembers that she used to really like these kinds of wish-fulfillment novels, and she even fantasized about having the ability to see through things so she could instantly see the jade inside a stone, and then become rich overnight and reach the pinnacle of life.
Although she no longer possesses superpowers, she has reached the pinnacle of her life thanks to the system.
Without hesitation, Lin Liuyi wrote down how to identify stones.
In another world, Chen Ting stared in shock at the bracelet on her wrist.
This was a rough stone she bought during a trip and then processed. The quality and clarity of the stone were average, so she kept it for herself.
What puzzles her now is how this bracelet ended up with her in the 1980s.
That's right, Chen Ting woke up to find herself transformed into Chen Ting in the 1980s, and she was about to get married.
Chen Ting immediately thought of the novel she had read before going to bed and decided to become a stepmother.
She realized she might have transmigrated into a novel world, but who wants to be a stepmother!
The novel does describe how this kind stepmother raised her stepsons and stepdaughters to adulthood and helped them succeed, eventually earning her the title of "the most beautiful stepmother."
It seems like a perfect ending, but the stepmother died from overwork when her stepchildren achieved success.
Even after her death, her stepson's biological mother returned and rekindled her relationship with her husband.
Chen Ting was disgusted when she saw it; what kind of happy ending was this?
He dedicated his entire life to that family and children, only to die from exhaustion, gaining a so-called title while the other family went on to live happily ever after.
When Chen Ting read the novel, she wanted to despise the stepmother who shared her name. Now, she's become that stepmother herself.
"Tingting, what are you daydreaming about? Xiao He is waiting for you to go shopping for clothes together!"
Chen Ting was brought back to her senses by her mother's call. According to the book, she was supposed to go shopping for wedding clothes with that man today.
"Tingting, even though Xiao He is remarried, look how good he is to you. He even took you shopping for clothes."
Chen Ting thought about how, because the original owner of this body failed the college entrance exam, her family immediately arranged a marriage for her.
After much deliberation, they chose He Lin.
He Lin was a level 5 fitter at the machine factory. He had a high salary and a promising future. Even though he had three children, many people still tried to arrange marriages for him.
The reason for seeking out Chen Ting was because she was from the countryside, making her easier to take care of his children and easier to control.
Chen Ting reviewed her memories and was speechless; this person was chosen by the original owner herself.
What was wrong with the original owner of this body? Being someone's stepmother is not such an easy thing.
Chen Ting came to her senses, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
But she quickly calmed down, thinking that since she was here, she absolutely could not let the original plot unfold.
In this day and age, if you stand in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly.
She should be a successful entrepreneur, why would she choose to be someone's maid? Is she crazy?
"Mom, I don't want to marry that man anymore. I don't want to be a stepmother," Chen Ting said, mustering her courage.
Her mother's eyes widened. "Tingting, are you out of your mind? You were the one who chose this person. No matter how we tried to persuade you, you wouldn't agree and insisted on marrying him. Now you're saying you don't want to get married?"
Chen's mother was speechless. When her daughter was looking for this person, they were firmly against it.
Her daughter is a perfectly good young woman, why would she want to marry a divorced man, even if he's from the city?
Unfortunately, this stubborn girl was determined to marry this man, no matter how much they told her how difficult it would be to be a stepmother.
In the end, her family had no choice but to agree. She was supposed to get married in a few days, but now she's backing out. Is this some kind of joke?
"What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly felt that I might not be able to be a stepmother."
Chen's mother poked Chen Ting's forehead with her finger. "I told you a long time ago that being a stepmother is difficult, but you were still stubborn. Now you've come to your senses?"
"However, you're about to get married, it wouldn't be good for us to call off the wedding now," Chen's mother said, a little worried.
To be honest, apart from being remarried and having a child, Xiao He is quite good in other aspects.
He's a decent-looking person, and he's been generous during these visits, and he's also been quite nice to her daughter.
Sigh, how could they have the nerve to call off the engagement first?
"Oh, Mom, please help me! I really can't do it. What if I hit his child?" Chen Ting tugged at her mother's sleeve and pleaded.
In my memory, her family doted on her; otherwise, a girl from the countryside wouldn't have been able to go all the way to high school.
Faced with her daughter's pleading, Chen's mother had no choice but to agree to help her find a solution.
When Chen Ting came out, she was surprised to find He Lin talking to her cousin Chen Ying.
Chen Ting frowned slightly and approached discreetly, wanting to find out what was going on.
Chen Yingjiao said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, look, my sister still hasn't come out. It's really not right to make you wait so long. But my sister is a high school student, she only studies and doesn't do housework, so it's normal. But my aunt always says she's still a child, so it's normal that she can't do these things!"
He Lin frowned slightly. He wanted to get married so that he could take care of his children and his elderly mother.
His previous wife ran off with a rich man, leaving several children at home. He had to work, and his elderly mother was getting on in years. Without a woman to manage the household, things were always a bit chaotic.
When the matchmaker introduced Chen Ting, he was satisfied, after all, she was really young, not only a high school student, but also a virgin.
Moreover, he had heard that Chen Ting insisted on marrying him. He Lin was secretly pleased that a young girl was so interested in him.
But now that Chen Ting's cousin had said that, He Lin felt a little uncomfortable.
This girl is too young and does nothing at home. How will she help him take care of his children and elderly mother after he marries her?
However, He Lin held back, saying, "Once your sister gets married, she'll be able to do housework and take care of the children."
Chen Ting, listening from the side, rolled her eyes. "Pah! Who marries someone just to do housework and take care of children, especially when they're not even their own?"
"I'm no good at taking care of children. My cousin is right, I'm still a child myself!"
Hmph, who isn't a baby at heart!
He Lin frowned even more after hearing this.
Chen Ting wasn't like this a few days ago. Could it be that she's getting married soon and is showing her true colors?
"Let's go, didn't you want to buy clothes? Let me tell you, I, Chen Ting, don't care for cheap ones. Do you have enough money?" Chen Ting spoke in a bossy manner, which made He Lin's face even uglier.
