Chapter 109 System
Chapter 109 System
Inside the room, the nanny was feeding Ruan Zhijuan.
As Zhou Gangxun approached, he couldn't help but marvel at how Ruan Zhijuan had been a beauty since childhood.
The nanny, who was feeding the baby, complained, "Chew faster, it takes so long to eat a bowl of porridge."
His gaze fell on the rice bowl, and he glanced at it; it was vegetable porridge.
But Ruan Zhijuan didn't like the scallions in the porridge; she felt nauseous from the scallions.
The first meal Zhou Gangxun made after going bankrupt was ham fried rice. To enhance the flavor, he added some scallions and mixed them with rice and eggs. Ruan Zhijuan gagged as soon as she ate it.
Later, he would either use onions instead of scallions in every dish, or he would remove the scallions before serving it to the table.
Besides scallions, ginger, and garlic, Ruan Zhijuan would also vomit after eating them.
That's why I chew porridge for so long now, forcing myself to swallow it despite feeling wronged.
"Hurry up, open your mouth." The nanny urged, while watching TV, as she held the spoon of porridge to Ruan Zhijuan's mouth.
Zhou Gangxun's cold gaze fell on the nanny. He didn't blow on the bowl of porridge that was handed to him. He leaned down and whispered in Ruan Zhijuan's ear, "Baby, knock the bowl over, smash it, and say you don't like this."
The chaotic, strange voice seemed to be coming from his head.
Ruan Zhijuan blinked. At this moment, he couldn't see the dirty things. After hearing the sound, he sat up like a curious and wary cat, looking around with his little head.
The mouth, not yet adept at speaking, mumbled incoherently to the air, "Who, who...who are you, and why are you in my head?"
"I am..." The three words "I am..." were swirling around Zhou Gangxun's lips when he suddenly remembered the contents of Ruan Zhijuan's diary. The system had been by Ruan Zhijuan's side since childhood until he was kicked out of the Ruan family.
It turned out to be the case.
There was already a Zhou Gangxun during this period, so he couldn't say that he was also Zhou Gangxun, otherwise Ruan Zhijuan would get confused when she met him later.
You can't call him a ghost, because he knows Ruan Zhijuan is timid and would be frightened.
All that remained was the identity that had been prepared for him in the diary from the very beginning.
He didn't simply travel to the past; he was on a predetermined, closed-loop path of fate.
His every move was to fill in the gaps in his wife's life for the first nineteen years.
According to the diary, the system disappeared during the period when Ruan Zhijuan was driven out of the Ruan family, so he will probably return to his own time period at that time.
Therefore, for him at that time, this place was just a fleeting dream after his soul left his body.
"My name is System." Zhou Gangxun said, squatting down next to the little Ruan Zhijuan and coaxing her, "Baby clearly doesn't like to eat, why don't you abort it?"
Ruan Zhijuan looked at the vegetable porridge. He felt it was so hard to eat, but if he got rid of it, he would have nothing left.
He shook his head and said, "No, I'll go hungry if I have an abortion. Hunger is bad; an empty stomach is very uncomfortable."
Zhou Gangxun remained silent, his heart gripped tightly by a hand. He thought of the story Ruan Zhijuan had written in her diary about being sold in her past life.
Hunger, bullying, fawning, ignoring his own feelings, being wronged... So this is what his wife was like.
"Eat up, what are you daydreaming about?" The nanny frowned, insisting on feeding Ruan Zhijuan the porridge. "Feeding you for so long, don't I have anything else to do?"
"You won't go hungry," Zhou Gangxun said coldly. A gust of cold wind overturned the hot porridge, scalding the nanny's hands and leaving red marks.
Yang Siyan once said that with his current karmic debts, he would surely become an evil ghost after his death.
Zhou Gangxun glanced at the nanny who was screaming from the burn. If it was burned like this on her skin, if Ruan Zhijuan were to eat it, her mouth and throat would probably be burned too.
He taught her word by word, "Baby, now you say, you don't want to eat scallions, and you want some meat added to your vegetable porridge."
Ruan Zhijuan clenched her fists, defying her instinct to obey and compromise, which she had been forced to develop in her previous life. She tried her best to learn from the system's words and said, "I...I don't want scallions, I don't want them. Add... lots and lots of meat to the porridge."
Zhou Gangxun was amused by Ruan Zhijuan's "pushing her luck" by adding more meat, and praised her, "Great job, baby."
He stared at the nanny who had just been startled by the gust of wind that had blown over her porridge and ran to the kitchen, and pressed on while the iron was hot, "See, they won't blame you at all, baby. You have to be a little wicked to be loved. The worse you are, the more people will like you."
Zhou Gangxun's eyes were deep. If he blamed his wife, someone from the Ruan family would fall down the stairs or off the balcony that very night.
He's determined to make a mess of things for a group of people who use his wife to raise a son to change their luck and steal their fortune.
There's nothing he can do; his wife is too kind. What he calls malicious, in his wife's mind, is probably just throwing a few things around or muttering a few curses.
Then he'll have to teach him properly.
"Baby, speak more confidently. They deserve to be scolded. Our baby is born to receive all the love." If you can't give them that, then let them die.
"Baby, push that green stone mountain off the table and smash it to pieces, then tell them you want to study and ask them to hire a teacher." What a bunch of idiots, don't they know his wife likes to study?
"Baby, throw the ashtray at him and tell him you want to eat expensive fruit, cherries, mangosteens, raspberries..." Why is it that the beneficiary, Ruan Xingyue, has everything he could want outside, while his wife can't even eat a decent piece of fruit?
Zhou Gangxun was like a vengeful ghost every day. As soon as he opened his eyes, he did nothing but cause trouble. During the day, he instigated Ruan Zhijuan to torment the Ruan family. At night, he would either throw Ruan Zhijuan onto the crystal chandelier hanging in the living room or burn down the master bedroom of the Ruan couple.
Until he turned eighteen.
Zhou Gangxun remembered that he was the same Ruan Zhijuan he had seen when he drove past the Ruan family's house earlier that day, so he asked, "Baby, do you want to go play in the garden? There's a pretty blue butterfly outside."
"Okay, okay." Ruan Zhijuan changed her clothes and ran to the garden, chasing butterflies.
Less than five minutes.
Zhou Gangxun, his face grim, looked at the twenty-six-year-old man in a suit and tie inside the car at the gate, staring intently at Ruan Zhijuan as if he couldn't take his eyes off him, and gave a cold sneer.
It doesn't mean anything; it's just that I equally dislike everyone who isn't in the current era.
"Watch your feet." He turned his gaze back to Ruan Zhijuan, only to find that Ruan Zhijuan, who had just been chasing butterflies, was now sleeping silently on the lawn in the garden.
"..."
That's the downside of evil spirits; Zhou Gangxun can't lift Ruan Zhijuan up, as it easily makes him sick.
So he smashed all the windows in the Ruan family villa.
The Ruan family and the nanny rushed out and, as was their habit, sighed as they carefully carried Ruan Zhijuan back inside. Otherwise, they would either find themselves sleeping outside the window at night, or find a dead chicken and chicken blood all over the house.
……
Zhou Gangxun counted the days, and before the time was about to disappear, he began to tell Ruan Zhijuan, "This person is called Zhou Gangxun. He is twenty-seven years old this year. He owns four properties, a villa and a manor, an island, and two cars. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve later, you should drug him and sleep with him."
"Marry him. He has a very high moral standard. Given his personality, if you have a relationship, he will marry you, agree to all your requests, and protect you."
As Ruan Zhijuan listened to the system's words, her eyes widened slightly as she stared intently at the photos in the financial news magazine. She was... well, not bad looking, and she wore such nice clothes so well... just average.
Ruan Zhijuan blinked, her hand covering her chest, feeling her heart pounding wildly.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Gangxun's face darkened again. He raised his hand and closed the magazine, forgetting that his wife liked to see him in a suit.
Ha, what a hypocrite!
"Don't be fooled by his respectable appearance and seemingly impressive demeanor. He's actually quite stupid. With our baby's intelligence, we can easily play him like a dog." Thinking back to his attitude towards Ruan Zhijuan after having that initial dream, Zhou Gangxun felt that he deserved to suffer some consequences later on.
"This kind of person is born to serve you. If you tame them, they'll even bark like a dog."
Zhou Gangxun continued, "So we must never give him a kind look too easily, you know? Dogs need to be trained."
"Okay, I understand." Ruan Zhijuan raised her chin and nodded in agreement with the system's words. "Don't worry, I'll make him serve me well. I won't give him any face, and I'll make him my dog."
Zhou Gangxun smiled with satisfaction. His wife had now been completely spoiled by him and had become a wicked little thing who took it for granted that others would treat her well and always put her own feelings first.
What's the problem? Isn't this how it should be?
Anyway, he'll be the one to take care of his wife afterward, and he'll be there to support her for the rest of her life.
