The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 622: Chapter 253: System Calls Me to Save the Day (Part 10)

Ancient Embroidery Patterns, like antique collections, could command high prices if found by someone knowledgeable or interested.

But to say they were worthless was also true—they were just a damaged book, especially during such a unique period, almost like a ticking time bomb.

However, He Tiantian was not just trying to prevent Qiao Zhenbang from selling the Ancient Embroidery Pattern for money by urging Granny Qiao to hide this treasure.

She wanted to utterly shatter Qiao Zhenbang’s ”illusion.”

The fact that the Ancient Embroidery Pattern was somewhat related to embroidery and could be sold for money suggested that Qiao Zhenbang’s memories of his ”previous life” were imprecise but not without a certain degree of prescience.

The effect He Tiantian sought to achieve was to make Qiao Zhenbang never dare to trust in so-called memories of a previous life or warnings from dreams again.

Confusing his mind was the first step, followed by complete destruction!

”...I don’t know what you’re talking about, Jiaojiao. Our family is poor; how could we have any Inheritance?”

Granny Qiao had already weighed the pros and cons in her heart and made her choice.

But still, a trace of wariness flashed across her wrinkled face, and she shook her head desperately, repeatedly denying, ”No! Absolutely not!”

This era was too unique; even close relatives could betray each other, so one shouldn’t easily reveal secrets to others.

He Tiantian didn’t get angry, nor did she feel that Granny Qiao was ”cold” or ”distant.”

In fact, in the original script, Granny Qiao hid the Ancient Embroidery Pattern very well, even from her own son and grandson.

If it hadn’t been for the forced plot of the script, with Jiao Jiao’s intelligence, she would have never found it.

But, to drive the plot forward, the script required that Jiao Jiao unintentionally find out that Granny Qiao hid something in her kang bed.

After Jiao Jiao stole the Ancient Embroidery Pattern, Granny Qiao was shocked and angered, her fear made her even less likely to speak up.

She simply said that she had lost something important and told Qiao Zhenbang to quickly retrieve Jiao Jiao.

By the time they confirmed that Jiao Jiao had eloped with the driver of a cargo truck and was already hundreds of miles away, Granny Qiao fainted from a sudden heart attack.

Even until her death, she never told anyone in the Qiao Family.

So, Granny Qiao’s wariness wasn’t toward He Tiantian; she didn’t trust anyone but herself.

After all, the means by which Granny Qiao originally acquired the Ancient Embroidery Pattern were not honorable.

She kept silent partly because she feared bringing trouble and partly because she was worried the true heir of the Ancient Embroidery Pattern might come looking.

”Right! When Zhenbang comes to ask you, just tell him that!”

He Tiantian, in a child’s tone, affirmed Granny Qiao’s words firmly.

Granny Qiao:...

The shrewd old lady pursed her lips, too embarrassed to continue acting, and closed her eyes, feigning tiredness.

”Granny, it’s getting late. I’m heading back now!”

He Tiantian cooperated and politely got up to take her leave.

Granny Qiao responded with a sound from her nose, ”Hmm, go on!”

Saying so, she continued to feign sleepiness.

He Tiantian smiled, not dwelling on it, and simply left.

”Who was that woman?”

On the way back to the Qiao Family, He Tiantian greeted the people around her with a smile while silently communicating with Student Xiao D through consciousness.

”Who?”

Student Xiao D didn’t immediately catch on and was momentarily flustered before hurriedly saying, ”Oh, you mean the woman the male lead is secretly investigating?”

”Right! What’s her name? Is she the health worker from the town?”

He Tiantian was familiar with the storyline and had the female lead’s memories, so she still had some impressions of certain people in town.

In particular, in the original script, a health worker occupied a significant part of the plot.

Firstly, her experience was too legendary and was a topic of conversation among the villagers during their leisure time, discussed by both acquaintances and strangers.

Secondly, she was related to the female lead, and the female lead mentioned this pitiful person while chatting with the male lead.

To be honest, even if Qiao Zhenbang hadn’t set his sights on the health worker, He Tiantian would still have given her a warning.

Alas, there were two lives at stake, after all.

Since He Tiantian was well aware of the plot, she really couldn’t just stand by and watch.

”That’s right, it’s her! Tiantian, didn’t you say you didn’t want to deal with the male lead?”

Student Xiao D wasn’t questioning; he was just genuinely curious.

”I didn’t plan to deal with him, but this is related to my mission; I have no choice.”

He Tiantian confirmed with Student Xiao D that Qiao Zhenbang was also trying to validate the memories in his head through the health worker’s situation.
