Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Take it one step at a time

However, when she thought about it carefully, it seemed quite normal. She could enter this book; why not modify the timeline?

If everything else remained the same, but only she changed, wouldn’t that be more abnormal?

Moreover, since she couldn’t return to her own world, she would take it one step at a time. This feeling of knowing nothing about the future was quite thrilling.

No sooner had this thought settled than her phone began to vibrate, a graceful piano melody ringing out. Wen Qiao glanced down, seeing that the ID read "Caregiver."

Who was this person?

Wen Qiao answered the call, but before she could speak, the person on the other end anxiously said, "Miss Wen, come quickly! Your stepmother is causing trouble again!"

Although Wen Qiao felt no emotional attachment to Mrs. Wen, given her assumed identity, she always had to check on such matters, otherwise her cover would be blown.

To speak frankly, the life script the author had set up for her original self was as melodramatic as it could be.

Her parents had a business marriage, but Wen Feng fell in love with Jiang Lai at first sight and readily agreed to the marriage. He treated Jiang Lai very well; the story could be considered perfect up to this point.

But it seemed the author wasn’t satisfied with the lack of drama and created a complication.

Jiang Lai was a modest and gentle woman from a respected family, reserved in contrast to the passionate Wen Feng. Not being a faithful man by nature, Wen Feng’s passion for Jiang Lai gradually faded. So, not long after Jiang Lai became pregnant, Wen Feng started cheating.

When the original person was ten years old, the other woman barged into her home with her daughter. To make matters worse, the girl was just a year younger than Wen Qiao, which sent the already frail Mrs. Wen straight to the hospital. Mrs. Wen, being a determined woman, promptly decided to divorce after regaining consciousness.

Mrs. Wen wanted to take Wen Qiao with her, but Wen Feng refused to let go. The custody battle lasted a year, and ultimately, the court, citing Mrs. Wen’s ill health, awarded custody to Wen Feng.

The end of a relationship certainly isn’t the fault of just one party. Jiang Lai wasn’t entirely in the right, but clearly, Wen Feng’s actions were more contemptible.

Unable to restrain himself, irresponsible with his emotions, and failing in his duties as a father, he fought for custody to avoid the stigma of abandoning his wife and daughter. However, once he won, he neglected Wen Qiao entirely.

It could be said that her intensely dark and paranoid character was heavily influenced by her dysfunctional family background.

But, notably, since the Jiang and Wen families were equally powerful, their alliance was truly a union of equals, not a situation where one side needed to save the other. Thus, Wen Feng and Jiang Lai’s divorce did not heavily impact either family.

Since Wen Qiao was only a side character, the original book only briefly mentioned her family background, a detail that greatly annoyed her when she was reading.

Her own background was excellent; her parents had died in a car accident when she was very young, and she was doted on by all four grandparents, growing up like a star held aloft by the moon. She loved to have fun and had many boyfriends during school, yet every relationship began cleanly and ended the same way.

She truly despised people like Wen Feng, who acted on lust, discarded girlfriends impulsively, and created nothing but chaos and turmoil.

Wen Qiao didn’t know which hospital her character’s mother was in, but as soon as she got into the car, her body seemed to have a consciousness of its own, driving the car away.
