The Calculations of a Previous Life

Arrived in S City on the morning of the 13th. After leaving the airport, I went straight to the hospital. The old man was still lying there, but Yu Xunhuan was no longer confined to bed. He was getting married in a few days and was being dragged away by Su Yitong to rehearse.

Yu Xunge had never heard of wedding rehearsals before.

At the hospital, I gave Yu Qingshan two Minor Healing Potions.

Yu Qingshan was still staring blankly at the ceiling. Yi Qiuguo pried open his mouth and poured the medicine in. Yu Qingshan didn't react at all. Yu Xunge watched coldly, thinking the old man had become a vegetable.

She pulled Yi Qiuguo aside and whispered to ask what was going on.

Yi Qiuguo stammered, unsure how to explain. She had kept this from her daughter for so many years, and suddenly revealing it would be too hurtful. So, she just said she didn't know either.

Yu Xunge wasn't genuinely concerned. Her main purpose for this trip was to investigate the God-Bestowed Talents of the two of them.

In her past life, she didn't have any Probe items. All the information she knew either came from her own observations or from what others told her directly.

In her past life, Yi Qiuguo had said her God-Bestowed Talent was related to cooking, and the food she made had a chance to increase people's attributes, but the chance was only 5%.

At the time, she had also said that Yi Qiuguo and Yu Xunhuan were indeed mother and son, as their God-Bestowed Talents were both related to Cooking.

But now, looking again, Yi Qiuguo's God-Bestowed Talent was related to fire. The more she spoke, the more bonus damage her fire-related Skills would receive, resetting daily.

She understood almost instantly why Yi Qiuguo had always called her home for dinner in her past life. Every time she went back, the meal was already prepared. The dishes tasted ordinary, but the ingredients were very high-class. And she had a personality where if someone was nice to her 10 points, she would at least repay 4 or 5 points. So, after every meal, she would leave something for Yi Qiuguo and Yu Qingshan.

No wonder... this was all to complement Yu Xunhuan's [God of Gluttony] Talent, right?

High-class ingredients meant the dish's rating wouldn't be low, but the ordinary taste indicated an average score. As long as the score didn't exceed 80, it wouldn't trigger a critical hit on the consumption effect, and she wouldn't associate these dishes with Yu Xunhuan. Attribute Points would be out of the question.

This way, she could be moved, thus reciprocating to her family, without actually profiting from it. Not only that, but she also unknowingly paid intangible Destiny to Yu Xunhuan as payment for his cooking.

Thinking back now, she had been unlucky for a while after every meal at home. At the time, she had thought she just clashed with her old home.

On the other hand, Yu Xunhuan hadn't completely lied to her. He said the buffs from the food he made would double after consumption, and they indeed doubled after she ate them.

Yu Xunhuan even often specially made his own unique dishes for her, making her consumption effect double 100%. But after eating them for two years, she had never gained any Attribute Points.

How clever! Pushing the limits of various Skills, gaining her trust while scheming against her, and not letting her gain any real benefits.

Yu Xunge declared she had learned her lesson!

She wasn't surprised that Yu Xunhuan coveted her Destiny. Her luck had always been good since she was young. Her initial Luck Value in the Game was 8, which was higher than most people. Although, for some reason, her good luck didn't get her into the Game's closed beta...

Hmm? She missed the first closed beta because she was tricked by Liu Zhengliu.

But she missed the second and third as well... What was she doing on June 6th and October 10th in her past life?

The time was too long ago, and Yu Xunge shouldn't have remembered clearly.

But these two dates were too special. Not only were they the beta test times, but they were also close to Yu Xunhuan's engagement and wedding dates!

She quickly recalled some things.

Although she couldn't remember the exact dates or what she did, she could recall events from a period. She remembered that a few days after Yu Xunhuan's engagement, he suddenly called her one morning, saying he had found a project for her through the Su family's connections and asked her to meet the person? She remembered that when she was picked up by the Su family's driver that day, it was just dawn as she looked out the car window.

And before Yu Xunhuan's wedding, he frequently asked her to accompany him for rehearsals. Later, he even asked her to go to the wedding venue every day to keep an eye on things for him, even though the venue was staffed by the Su family and she had no role to play...

During that period, she remembered being very annoyed. Not only was she on-site with nothing to do, but every time she wanted to play on her phone to pass the time, she would be pulled by the Su family members to look at the decorations.

Yu Xunge stood in the hospital bathroom, clenching her fists tightly.

So, he had been scheming against her since so long ago?

Yu Xunge stared at the water flowing into the basin. The hatred, which had been somewhat appeased by stealing Yu Xunhuan's [God of Gluttony] Talent, surged back!

Why?

Not only did he not tell her these things, but he also made her miss opportunities again and again?!!

She turned off the faucet and looked calmly at her reflection in the mirror.

Why should she waste time thinking about the reasons why her enemies harmed her?

There was no need, no meaning!

She just needed to return everything, one by one!

Yu Xunge said goodbye to Yu Qingshan, who was lying on the bed, and left.

Yu Qingshan's Talent was called [Liar]. Every lie he told increased his Attack power by 0.1%, resetting daily. Not only that, but he could also discern lies.

This was the same as what he told her in her past life. He actually didn't lie.

But the most sophisticated lies were sometimes the truth.

He didn't need to fight. How many lies had he told Yu Xunge? Where could she verify them?

This family...

Yu Xunge walked out of the hospital and stood in the sunlight, still feeling a chill seeping from her bones.

Why was she born to this family?

Forget it. Thinking about her own actions.

She wasn't much better.

All of them were insidious and cunning. Yu Qingshan, the old silver coin; Yi Qiuguo, the dumb silver coin; Yu Xunhuan, the little silver coin; and herself, the beautiful silver coin.

And Yi Qiuguo, that dumb ratio.

Let's all get along and make do!

On the 15th, Yu Xunge followed Yu Xunhuan to the place where he and Su Yitong were rehearsing their wedding. She watched Yu Xunhuan from afar. He was clearly smiling, as if showing no pain, despair, anger, or grief.

But the more Yu Xunge watched, the happier she became. The more successfully her emotions were suppressed, the better! It was just like her; after every smile she gave Yu Xunhuan and the others, she would retaliate even more fiercely. She was waiting for the day he would finally break.

After admiring Yu Xunhuan's act and mask enough, she pulled Su Yitong into a corner and said mysteriously, "I have a wedding gift for you. It's something from the game. Where would be convenient to give it to you?"

Su Yitong was a little curious when she heard this. Things from the game were still quite rare at this time. She pulled Yu Xunge into the dressing room. Yu Xunge waved, signaling for Yu Xunhuan to come over as well. Once in the dressing room, Yu Xunge took out the bed that made people's faces turn sallow.

Game items in an unclaimed state could have their information accessed with a touch. Su Yitong thanked her without showing any emotion on her face, but her eyes were shining.

Yu Xunhuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit awkward, this item... well, it hit the spot! He needed it, urgently!

After several days of gloom, Yu Xunge brought him the only good news he'd had in days. Yu Xunhuan looked at Yu Xunge with gratitude.
