Chapter 20: Mama’s Girl 3

“Host, I’m back. It turns out there was a bug in the world, and the original host’s mother has been reborn. It’s not a big deal…”

“Oh?”

The Book Spirit trembled slightly. That “oh” felt a little ominous.

“Then we need to have a proper talk.”

The Book Spirit chuckled awkwardly, “Xinxin, think about it, now you have the strongest support. Isn’t that a good thing? You should always think positively about things.”

Ren Xin ignored the Book Spirit’s brainwashing. “The reason I do good deeds isn’t for you.”

The Book Spirit, feeling defeated, responded, “Then what do you want?”

Ren Xin ordered, “Give me two gift packs to calm down first, then give me a few skills and then…”

“………”

“Let’s die together!”

Ren Xin cleared her throat. “Five gift packs to settle the matter!”

“Two!”

“Six!”

…

The back-and-forth between Ren Xin and the Book Spirit escalated. Neither of them was willing to compromise. The atmosphere had grown intense. Ren Pengfei, seething with anger, and Zheng Xiujian, as calm as ever, both had their demands. Zheng Xiujian simply wanted her daughter and her family wealth, but no man.

In the end, Ren Pengfei agreed. The Book Spirit also compromised, agreeing to give Ren Xin three gift packs. If that didn’t work, it would just go die.

Ren Xin: “………” She had figured out the Book Spirit’s shameless ways.

In fact, Ren Xin didn’t need the gift packs. It was just a habit of hers to fleece every opportunity. Otherwise, she’d always feel like she was missing out.

Ren Pengfei had initially planned to play the emotional card with Ren Xin, but she directly interrupted, “Can I sever ties with you? Look, you have a son now. You probably won’t need me. Having a dad like you is embarrassing, Can you at least do something decent for me?”

Ren Pengfei was furious, his anger rising. “I really spoiled you for nothing, you ingrate…”

Ren Xin didn’t care. “There’s an old saying: ‘I’d rather have a beggar mother than a government official father.’ It’s all in the saying. The ancients were not wrong.”

Zheng Xiujian looked at her daughter standing in front of her with a comforting gaze. She had truly grown up. Her child could now protect her.

Thinking of her previous life’s weakness, and the grievances her daughter suffered after her death, she was filled with resentment.

Now, all she felt was gratitude. She thanked the heavens for their mercy, allowing her to be reborn and make up for her daughter, giving her a happy and fulfilling life.

The divorce process was quick. Ren Pengfei didn’t put up much resistance, only leaving with a final threat, “Let’s see how long you two can stay happy after leaving me!”

“Mr. Ren, sign the severance agreement first. When you reach a certain age, I’ll naturally give you retirement money. But until then, you’ll need to be like a dead person—don’t disturb me and mom, got it?” Ren Xin said eagerly.

Ren Pengfei: “………” Is she serious?

“Mr. Ren, it really can’t be more serious.”

Ren Pengfei’s eyes showed hurt. “Do you really blame your dad this much? I had no choice, you know, even though your dad…”

Ren Xin smiled, but her tone was cold. “I don’t know. I’m just standing up for my mom. She deserves a better life. If only she hadn’t met you, I have started to hate the part of you that flows in my blood. From now on, I’ll donate blood regularly and give away that part that belongs to you. That way, I’m doing something good for you. No need to thank me. Our father-daughter relationship ends here, with no further connection.”

Ren Xin’s words struck Ren Pengfei deeply. Though he loved his son, he had also put genuine effort into his daughter. Did he make a mistake?

No, he hadn’t. They wouldn’t understand how important a son is to a man!

When the mother and daughter returned home, Zheng Xiujian sat on the sofa, a little distracted.

Ren Xin poured her mother a cup of hot water and said cheerfully, “Mom, don’t be sad. I’m still here. I’ll always support you. Even if today you were the one who cheated, I’m still with you.”

Zheng Xiujian smiled. This was good. “It seemed that the kind of favoritism she had always wanted was now being realized through her daughter.”

“Mom will love you dearly!”

“I know!”

The mother and daughter exchanged a smile, each understanding without needing to ask why their transformations had been so dramatic.

Some things don’t need to be asked, nor should they be!

—The phrase “宁跟要饭娘，不跟当官的爹” (I’d rather have a beggar mother than a government official father) is a Chinese proverb that expresses a preference for personal integrity and a good character over wealth, power, or social status. In this context, the phrase suggests that it is better to have a humble and caring parent, even if they are poor, than a father who holds a high position but lacks morality or kindness.
