Chapter 783: Was Transmigrating into a Book the Start of Her Changing Destiny?
Looking at the hysterical Su Yuxi—oh, no, Lin Nian—Qin Jiao’s voice held a trace of pity. “You were a loser in your original world, too, weren’t you?”
People who truly rely on themselves and strive to get ahead won’t do too poorly, no matter what world or field they’re in.
And seeing all of Lin Nian’s crazed actions since coming to this world, Qin Jiao knew that Lin Nian probably hadn’t been successful in her original world either.
Or rather, she had failed utterly and completely.
Those words struck a fatal blow. Agitated, Lin Nian flung the coffee in her hand straight at Qin Jiao.
But Qin Jiao, already prepared, had dodged it in a flash.
The coffee splashed all over the table.
Lin Nian cried and roared, “What would someone like you, who’s had a blessed life from birth, ever understand?! Since I was little, my family never valued me because I wasn’t good enough! In school, no boys liked me because I was too plain! After graduation, I was ostracized at my company because I didn’t graduate from a top university and wasn’t capable enough! Even the stray cats and dogs on the street could pick on me! Why does my life have to be like this?!”
‘Maybe transmigrating into this book is the start of a new fate for me,’ Lin Nian had once thought.
But she never imagined that her life would sink deeper and deeper into a mire, becoming even worse than her original, ordinary life.
Qin Jiao finally understood: pitiable people have their detestable sides, too.
She said, “Not being good enough, not working hard enough—aren’t those your own problems? If you had tried your best and were still just ordinary, then you should have adjusted your mindset and simply lived your life with grace.”
“I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. Most people in this world are just like you and me—we’re all just ordinary people.”
“If you do nothing but resent your unfair fate without ever looking for the problem within yourself, then you’ll be a failure no matter where you go.”
“None of this is anyone else’s fault. It’s all on you!”
Being ordinary isn’t a fault. Ordinary people can live happy and stable lives, too.
But Lin Nian was exactly the type of person who was ordinary and lazy, yet whose ambitions were higher than the heavens.
And that was the cause of her tragedy.
Transmigrating into the book might have been fate giving her a chance to take control and change her life.
But she used the wrong methods and took the wrong path.
In the end, she failed completely.
Lin Nian abruptly looked up and said, “No, I haven’t lost yet! Just you wait, Qin Jiao! I won’t lose to you!”
Her shouting attracted a waiter, who came over to give her a gentle reminder. Still conscious of her celebrity image, Lin Nian immediately put on her sunglasses, turned, and left.
However, her steps were unsteady.
It was clear her mind was in turmoil, too.
After Su Yuxi left, Qin Jiao also exited the private room. Of course, she had to begrudgingly pay the bill.
‘That Su Yuxi… It’s one thing to get angry, but how could she not even pay the bill?’
Because she had thrown the coffee, Qin Jiao apologized to the waiter. The waiter whispered, “You don’t have to apologize, Miss Qin. We know the other young lady was the one who threw it.”
After all, it was a semi-private room. From a distance, others probably couldn’t hear what they were arguing about.
But they could see Su Yuxi throwing the coffee at Qin Jiao.
Qin Jiao returned to her office. Not long after, Shen Yi walked in briskly.
“Are you okay?” he asked worriedly.
Qin Jiao said, “I’m fine. Did you hear that name? Zhao Hui.”
Shen Yi nodded. “He’s certainly a formidable figure. You could even say he has the power to blot out the sky in certain fields. However… he’s the type who enjoys novelty.”
The implication was that Zhao Hui wouldn’t protect Su Yuxi for much longer.
Shen Yi held up a camera. “I got a photo of Su Yuxi throwing coffee at you. Let’s completely destroy her reputation with this. That should make Zhao Hui get tired of her.”
