The original owner's mother didn't love Su Jianxiu at all. She hated her own parents, hated Su Jianxiu, and hated the original owner who was forced to be born. So she tried to understand herself in a way that caused everyone pain, attempting to make the Xu family elders feel guilty.
As for Su Jianxiu, the original owner of the body was only of use value. When the original owner grew up and realized that he could no longer use her, he was filled with resentment.
Jiang Cuo silently took out some toilet paper.
Su Qianqian held Jiang Cuo's wrist and rested her forehead weakly on Jiang Cuo's right shoulder.
She felt weak all over, completely exhausted, and the hatred that arose within her caused her immense pain.
A barely perceptible hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Cuo's eyes.
He did not speak.
He simply took out the little red flower that had appeared yesterday from his pocket.
He took Su Qianqian's hand and stuck the little red flower in her palm.
Then gently comforted her, "You didn't cry, you're such a good child, here's a little red flower as a reward."
Su Qianqian was taken aback by Jiang Cuo's unexpected actions.
I felt a warm current flowing through my heart.
She spoke weakly, "Thank you, Jiang Cuo. It's so good to have you here."
Jiang Cuo's face remained indifferent as he pressed the small red flower into Su Qianqian's palm with his thumb, gently stroking and caressing it with his fingertips.
He thought to himself.
So, I can make her feel so much better.
Su Qianqian... she really loves me.

Chapter Twenty-Nine
Jiang Cuo looked down at Su Qianqian.
This was the first time she had ever seen Su Qianqian so weak.
At this moment, Su Qianqian looked so helpless and pitiful, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Jiang Cuo felt at that moment.
Su Qianqian is now completely different from the little girl who used to whine and beg for food.
Seeing the little one acting silly and funny only brings a smile to one's face, making one feel much more relaxed and sweeping away all worries.
Seeing Su Qianqian so weak, her eyes filled with sorrow, and her forcibly suppressing her anger while pretending to be strong, only makes one's heart ache.
Su Qianqian's eyes usually shone brightly, unlike now, which were so empty.
With a pale face, Su Qianqian said weakly, "I'm fine, let's go back."
Su Qianqian grasped Jiang Cuo's wrist and straightened herself up.
Now that Su Jianxiu has been dealt with, the original owner shouldn't be so angry anymore.
In the original world, she had never experienced parental love, so even though Su Jianxiu was such a scumbag, she wouldn't be too moved. But the original owner's emotions were just too strong, as if they were going to devour her.
She is usually a very calm person, and her emotions don't fluctuate much, which is why she was so affected this time.
Jiang Cuo nodded.
Although Jiang Cuo saw that Su Qianqian had straightened up, she still looked weak. So he grabbed Su Qianqian's left wrist with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist, half-encircling and half-embracing her.
At this moment, Su Qianqian was still struggling against the hatred that had risen in the original owner of the body, trying her best to regain her composure.
Therefore, they did not notice Jiang Cuo's subtle actions.
She could only feel that Jiang Cuo was still quite patient with her.
Perhaps the reason I can empathize with her so much is because Jiang Cuo's parents weren't mentioned in the original book.
Jiang Cuo, having grown up with his maternal grandparents, would surely feel sympathy for Su Qianqian after seeing how Su Jianxiu treated her.
However, the identity of Jiang Cuo's parents has always been a mystery, and it was not even mentioned in the original book. Perhaps the original author deliberately made Jiang Cuo hide the news of her biological parents in order to create a character reversal of her future personality.
[Waste System: Yes, host, the identities of Jiang Cuo's biological parents are a hidden plot point in the latter half of the system world's storyline, which you will need to discover yourself~]
Su Qianqian sighed inwardly, thinking that Jiang Cuo was originally a kind person, if it weren't for the spoiled and wicked nature of the original character in the book.
Perhaps in the future he won't become a villain who only cares about profit, only cares about exploiting people, and shows no mercy.
When Su Qianqian returned to the conference room, Su Jianxiu had already been taken away, but the girl's mother was still stubbornly sitting there, clinging to the table and refusing to leave.
"Don't arrest my son, he's still a minor. And I won't leave until I get an explanation!"
Who knows if the school is abusing its power to bully ordinary people like us, and if they've colluded with you? If I leave this place, I won't have anywhere to voice my grievances.
Hearing the commotion at the conference room door, the woman turned around and saw Su Qianqian's pale face and weak appearance, as if she had caught her red-handed.
"Your school is still trying to deny it. Look at your own students. They're all so guilty. Look at how pale their faces are. Is it because my daughter's spirit has come back to take revenge on her? If you weren't guilty, why did you run out? Don't think I don't know that Su Qianqian got second place in the grade, and that Jiang Cuo was first in your grade."
"So, being a good student means you get special treatment? Is there no law anymore?"
The homeroom teacher couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and pulled Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian aside, quietly comforting them.
"Why don't you two go home first? I see that Su Qianqian isn't feeling well. Don't be scared. You're in your final year of high school, and your health is very important. Don't take this to heart. The teachers and principal will help you. The teachers won't let you suffer any injustice."
However, the principal frowned.
Watching the woman act like a rogue, whenever the police came to pull her away, she would sit on the ground and throw a tantrum, even reaching out to scratch.
The principal immediately slammed his hand on the table, the loud bang silencing the room for a moment, and everyone was stunned.
“This is a school, not a market. Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo are students at our school. They are students who are excellent in both morality and academics. They are not your daughters, so you can slander and insult them at will.”
They don't need to go home to rest because they haven't done anything wrong. As the principal, I won't let you affect their mood for learning. They come to school to learn, not to have you throw mud at them.
Now you two go back to class. If you're not feeling well, you can ask for leave to go back and rest.
This is a school, not a place for you to cause trouble. If you have something to say, we can talk at the police station, officer. Take me with you. My students are innocent. As the principal, I must guarantee their innocence; otherwise, who would dare to enroll in our school?
So no matter how much the woman resisted, she was eventually taken away by the police.
Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo also returned to the classroom for class.
The news was also suppressed by the school.
Most of the students in Su Qianqian's class knew the truth of the matter, so no one secretly discussed it.
Everyone was hoping that Su Qianqian wouldn't be smeared and that the school could clear her name as soon as possible.
After Su Qianqian sat back down, she felt dizzy, her body was burning up, and she had no strength at all.
She couldn't hear a single word the teacher was saying; it sounded like a mantra, making her dizzy, and all she wanted to do was lie down and sleep.
The homeroom teacher assumed that Su Qianqian was in a bad mood and was feeling sad, and felt sorry for her, so she didn't interfere.
After all, she had previously thought that Su Qianqian's family was so good and unreasonable, no different from a princess in heaven. But today she saw that Su Qianqian's father was such a person, and Su Qianqian's father did not say a word of justice for Su Qianqian.
On the contrary, it was the butler who had no blood relation to her and had always taken care of her who stepped forward.
Moreover, as a father, that man actually slandered his own daughter.
What a scumbag, he doesn't deserve to be a father.
Su Qianqian remained lying there in a daze.
[Waste System: Warning! Warning! The host's body is experiencing a problem. The host's current body temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius and is continuing to rise. Please be alert.]
Su Qianqian had a terrible headache; her head felt like it was going to explode, and she couldn't hear the notification sounds from the useless system at all.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the noisy sounds around her suddenly quieted down, as if someone was shaking her arm and calling her softly.
Jiang Cuo also noticed Su Qianqian's abnormality, because Su Qianqian was like a furnace in the classroom, constantly emitting heat, and the side of her face closest to Su Qianqian was about to be scorched.
Jiang Cuo leaned close to Su Qianqian's ear and whispered, "Su Qianqian, do you have a fever?"
Su Qianqian: ?
Are you being horny?
Who's farting?!
She's not the kind of person who's flirtatious or provocative. Even if she likes beautiful women, she likes them secretly.
She's not the kind of person who openly flirts and tries to seduce people!
Jiang Cuo called out in a low voice for a long time, but Su Qianqian did not respond.
Jiang Cuo planned to pull Su Qianqian up and use the back of his hand to measure the temperature on Su Qianqian's forehead.
Jiang Cuo knew that if a person experiences too much psychological stress, it may trigger a physical stress response.
Su Qianqian's fever may be a way of protecting herself from excessive sadness. Physical discomfort can help alleviate her emotional distress and prevent her from becoming too heartbroken.
Jiang Cuo carefully pulled on Su Qianqian's arm and pressed his hand against the back of Su Qianqian's neck.
Just like lifting a kitten, he tried to lift Su Qianqian's head up.
The moment Jiang Cuo's hand touched the back of Su Qianqian's neck, he was scalded and his whole body shuddered.
The temperature here is like lava.
Su Qianqian doesn't have a self-protection mechanism; she'd probably end up burning herself to death.
Jiang Cuo's fingertips twitched slightly, and a thin layer of red slowly appeared on her earlobe.
She did all this for Su Qianqian's health.
