WfDO- Chapter 27

Arc 2
The Vicious Supporting Female with Unbridled Love (8)

It was said that Ye Wei and Zhong Shen had a big fight in front of their parents. This time, it was a particularly serious matter. Ye Wei was taken to the hospital overnight, and Zhong Shen was injured on the leg by his father.

Not only that but even the wedding invitations that were prepared to be sent out were held back. The wedding date was postponed indefinitely.

However, judging from the situation that night, it was questionable whether there’ll be a wedding or not.

“It wasn’t a long time ago when the two of them danced intimately in front of so many people, breaking the rumors of the termination of their engagement. What happened this time? To the point they postponed the marriage?”

“I heard it was because Ye Wei couldn’t stand the ambiguous relationship between Zhong Shen and the female employee in his company. Ye Wei had ordered someone to deal with the female employee privately, wanting to drive her away. But, Zhong Shen found out about it. Zhong Shen then blamed Ye Wei for being too vicious. The two had a big fight after that!”

“So, did Ye Wei successfully drive away that female employee?”

“She did, but later, Zhong Shen personally invited her back. Ye Wei got so angry that her heart disease relapsed.”

“You are joking, right? Zhong Shen personally invited her back? I’m sure none of the talented programmers working at Zhong-shi received the same treatment as her! Is the face of this female employee really beautiful, or is she so eloquent and outstandingly talented?“

“As if. If she is so eloquent and outstandingly talented, why would she work in a coffee shop after being driven away? If she is really a genius, as soon as she leaves Zhong-shi, major companies would grab her to their side even if she has a scandalous past. Why would she need to wait for an interview and have time to work part-time in a coffee shop?”

“Then…”

“Oh, her talent is at seducing people. A really outstanding talent, no?”

A mistress was a very common thing in their circle. There were lots of illegitimate children appearing out of nowhere to compete for their family property. They had seen it so many times that they were used to it. They were not surprised by it, but, usually, situations like this were handled secretly. This kind of thing was shameful and none wanted the others to look at those shameful things. 

In their opinion, Shen Ying Ying was no different from an ostentatious mistress and was only good at seducing people.

Zhang Kexin smiled when she heard about this from her followers. “I have seen her, that Shen Yingying. She is really slippery, her seduction techniques are top-notch. Really amazing. If you meet her, be careful. “

The little followers disagreed, “She just deceives men at best. We didn’t need to be careful of her. ”

To put it bluntly, no matter how pure and innocent she pretended to be, it could only work when she was dealing with men. It wouldn’t work for them.

Zhang Kexin said, “Be careful of your man. Just look at Ye Wei. You don’t want to end up like her, right?”

They were silent. One of them then spoke out, “Kexin-jie, Shen Yingying is really powerful. Ye Wei has many tricks on her hand but still failed. You say, will Zhong Shen really be hooked by Shen Yingying in the end?”

Zhang Kexin lost her smile when she heard it. She was happy to see Ye Wei become a joke, but she didn’t want Shen Yingying to succeed. “Even if Shen Yingying wants to climb to a higher social circle. it’s not that simple. So what if Zhong Shen is hooked by her. It still depends on whether his parents approve of her or not!”

“Right, There is no way Zhong-jia will let Zhong Shen marry a woman like Shen Yingying.”

“If they got married, it would be a big joke.”

“No matter how much she wants it. Shen Yingying will never marry into the Zhong-jia in her life. It doesn’t matter if she is so good at seducing others, she won’t be able to climb to the top.”

Zhang Kexin was in a good mood after the conversation. She was planning to visit Ye Wei in the hospital. She wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity to watch Ye Wei’s embarrassment!

With Ye Wei’s pride, Zhang Kexin never thought she would be allowed to visit her. Unexpectedly, Ye Wei was not afraid at all and let her visit. Her attitude was really strange… Not good, this scheming bitch must be planning another scheme!

Zhang Kexin’s enthusiastic attitude towards watching Ye Wei’s embarrassment evaporated in an instant. She immediately entered a state of alert. She smirked and decided to poke her wounds, “I heard that you are in bad health again. I came here to visit you and see what’s going on. You must take care of yourself, you know. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get married.”

Ye Wei said, “Don’t be like that, it makes me want to thank you. Thank you for paying attention to my health. I won’t have any weddings so it’s alright, don’t worry.”

Zhang Kexin blinked. She looked at Ye Wei with some surprise. She said suspiciously, “What’s the matter? “won’t have any weddings”? Are you really willing to give up on Zhong Shen?”

Ye Wei was lying on the hospital bed. It was rare for her not to put on her usual makeup, showing pale and bloodless cheeks. For the first time, Zhang Kexin discovered that Ye Wei, under all her cover, looked extremely fragile, as if she could disappear from this world at any time. She only ever remembered the arrogant and domineering Ye Wei, the Ye Wei who was always against her, and the Ye Wei who had to fight her to the death even if her heart hurts and need to take her medicine. 

“Zhong Shen is mine. If I can have him, then no one else can!”

Zhang Kexin awakened from her trance. Where was she ‘fragile’?

She is still the arrogant, domineering, and wayward Ye Wei.

Zhang Kexin gave a cold smile and said mockingly, “You talked like this to me, but if you really can do it, then go and grab Zhong Shen back ah. Think about it. You are the Ye-jia’s only xiaojie, you have a distinguished family background. What you want, you get. How can you lose to a smelly girl who has nothing?”

Ye Wei also smiled, “Aren’t you also the same? At least, I have an engagement with Zhong Shen. What about you? You have been chasing Zhong Shen for so many years, yet you can’t even be counted as a ‘friend’ in Zhong Shen’s eyes. You think about it. That Shen Yingying just left to find another place to work, but Zhong Shen immediately chased after her. Compare it to you. You have been abroad for so long, did you even get a single ‘hello’ from him?”

Zhang Kexin thought about it. She gritted her teeth. “Hmph. Your engagement was only one-sided, you can’t even use it to tie him up beside you! You are so great but you still let the duck fly in the end^[1]!”

Ye Wei watched Zhang Kexin’s anger. She said coldly, “Let’s cooperate. ”

Zhang Kexin, “……”   

Zhang Kexin said incredulously, “Cooperate? Did you just say you want to cooperate with me?”

Ye Wei, “Yes, you heard it right. Let’s cooperate. I know that you really like Zhong Shen. When Zhong-jia was in crisis, you went to your family to ask them to help Zhong-jia, but your father didn’t want to offend anyone, let alone intervene in other family’s internal conflicts, so he didn’t agree to your request, right? For this reason, you went on a hunger strike. It’s a pity that you were one step too late and I am one step earlier than you.”

“Your reasons to go abroad, one was because you were heartbroken because of my engagement with Zhong Shen, two was because you were angry at your father. If he agreed to your request, maybe the one that got engaged with Zhong Shen right now was you. Because you know the reason why Zhong Shen agreed to get engaged with me. It’s definitely not because he likes me back. That’s why you are angry. You are one step too late from being Zhong Shen’s fiancee. “

Zhang Kexin sneered, “So what? That just proves we are indeed enemies. Why should I cooperate with you?”

Ye Wei hooked the corner of her lips, “Because I’m not willing. Are you willing to watch Zhong Shen and a woman like Shen Yingying love each other?”

She’s not willing. She’s really not willing.

Shen Yingying. One, she has no family background. Two, she has no talent. Three, she has no beauty. To simplify it, a woman who has nothing. How could a woman like her get Zhong Shen’s special treatment? What made Zhong Shen like her?

She didn’t even know why Zhong Shen, who had always been indifferent to others, treated Shen Yingying with care. Why did he like Shen Yingying?

Was his type a good-for-nothing woman like Shen Yingying?

If she had known it from the start, she would have sacrificed her pride and worked hard to play that role, she would have.……

Ye Wei stretched out her hand, “Then, let’s cooperate.”

Zhang Kexin slapped her hand, “I didn’t agree to cooperate with you.”

Ye Wei, this scheming bitch was not easy to read through. The lessons from the last time were still vivid in her memories. This time, she may be scheming against her again.

Ye Wei said, “I have a lot of photos, intimate photos of Zhong Shen and Shen Yingying together. Do you want to see them?”

Zhang Kexin, “……” Want.

Zhang Kexin has long heard that Zhong Shen and Shen Yingying often meet on the rooftop. But, this was her first time to really see Zhong Shen, who she has admired and liked for half her life, Zhong Shen, who always has a poker face and never bothered to say more than a word to her, actually stands side by side with the good-for-nothing Shen Yingying. 

One look and she felt she could suffocate to death. She really wanted to rush up and tear that good-for-nothing Shen Yingying to pieces now.

“Just what kind of enchantment spell Shen Yingying gave to Zhong Shen! How could Zhong Shen act like this to her! Ah, is it because he hasn’t seen such a useless woman like Shen Yingying in his life?! Just like in idol drama where the woman is stupid, useless, and could only hold her fist to cheer herself up? Wah~! She is so special! How can there be such a woman who works so hard and never gives up?! So strong and brave?!”

Zhang Kexin exaggerated her tone. She threw away the photos in her hands. “Like hell it is! What the fuck are these things!”

She glanced at Ye Wei, who was lying on the bed, eating grapes leisurely, and said, “Why are you not angry?”

Ye Wei waved, “I see it every day. I had seen it so many times that I got used to it. Do you want some of it? Don’t need to thank me. I still have many photos like this in my collections. You can have a look at them. If you get so angry every time you see them like this, how can you stay calm and pit Shen Yingying?”

Zhang Kexin, “……”   

“Then, should I say ‘thank you for your generosity’ ah?”

Ye Wei waved her hand once again, “As I said, you don’t need to thank me. We are cooperating, so we are colleagues. Colleagues should support each other in order to achieve great things.”

Zhang Kexin rolled her eyes, “What are you planning to do? Your previous methods of handling things, all have failed. Instead of driving her away, you made her and Zhong Shen get closer. Zhong Shen already cares about her. No matter what you do, as long as Zhong Shen is there, she won’t need to worry about anything even if she does nothing.”

Ye Wei spitted the grape seeds and said, “Why did I fail before? It’s because I myself deal with Shen Yingying.”

Zhang Kexin said, “You’re still dealing with Shen Yingying now.”

Ye Wei stretched out an index finger and shook it. “You’re wrong. Now we are dealing with Shen Yingying and Zhong Shen together.”

Zhang Kexin was surprised, “You are planning to also deal with Zhong Shen?”

Ye Wei looked at Zhang Kexin like she was a fool. She began to doubt whether this partner of hers can do her job properly. Ah, forget it. She couldn’t place her hope on the others. She could only rely on herself.

Zhang Kexin also looked at Ye Wei as if she was a fool, “Let’s not even start with the Zhong-jia behind him. Just talk about Zhong Shen. Don’t you know how smart he is? How will you even deal with him? What can you do to him? Why do you even think of crossing him?

Ye Wei once again stressed, “It’s ‘us’.”

Zhang Kexin rolled her eyes, “Fine. You speak first, what is your plan? If you don’t have a good plan, I have the right to refuse to cooperate with you.”

Ye Wei raised her eyebrow, she flapped the photos in her hand. “Zhang-xiaojie, I need your help for this.”

“Do you want to use these photos? What are you going to use it for?”

“That’s right, I want to ruin Zhong Shen’s reputation. ”

Zhang Kexin watched Ye Wei’s vicious face. Just before, she thought Ye Wei was fragile. Sure enough, it seemed there was something wrong with her brain. 

At the same time, someone knocked at the door, accompanied by a voice, “Ye Wei, it’s me.”

It was Zhong Shen.

Zhang Kexin’s heart jumped. She lowered her voice and whispered, “Why is Zhong Shen here?”

Ye Wei threw a bored look at her, “Why are you so surprised? His fiancee got so angry at him that she needed to get hospitalized because of her heart disease. Why won’t he visit me, the said fiancee?”

“Then what should I do now? Should I hide ah?”

The matter of her joining forces with Ye Wei couldn’t be discovered, right?

She ran straight into the bathroom and hid.

Ye Wei, “…” Does she really think they are in a spy movie?

Zhong Shen knocked again, Ye Wei, I’m going in.”

With that said, he opened the door, Ye Wei raised her eyes and said, “Is there something I can help Zhong-zong with?”

Her tone was not friendly in the slightest. 

Zhong Shen, “……”   

He examined Ye Wei who was lying on the bed. Her face was pale, but her expression was indifferent. There was a trace of self-mock on the corners of her eyes.

A dull pain appeared in his heart, “Are you feeling better? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

Ye Wei, “Thank you Zhong-zong for your concern. I’m still alive, as you can see. It’s really a lucky thing that I’m not angered to death by you.”

Zhong Shen’s heart was astringent. He frowned. There was something strange on his usual cold face, “I’m sorry. I’m the one at fault. I didn’t handle this matter properly.”

Ye Wei smiled, “How could Zhong-zong be the one at fault? You always handle your matter properly. Whatever your hearts tell you, you will do so. Is there anything wrong with it? The so-called life is only a fleeting moment in the world. If you can’t do what you want to do with your life as your heart tells you to. What kind of life is that?”

“So how can I blame Zhong-zong for this? If you want to blame someone, then blame it on me. I failed to see the big picture. I am only a roadblock on your road to finding your true love. I obstructed your way. Instead of fulfilling your love, I tried to stop you. How can a vicious woman like me afford Zhong-zong’s apology?”

Zhong Shen knew Ye Wei was angry. He didn’t know what to say to calm her down. “It’s my fau一”

Ye Wei interrupted him, “Zhong-zong is not the one at fault. As the saying goes, true love is innocent. It can surpass everything.”

Zhong Shen, “……”   

Ye Wei’s cold look, especially her words, made him feel suffocated.

“I’ll let Shen Yingying leave the company.”

Ye Wei, “Oh, my. So I am destined to be a vicious woman who breaks other people’s true love?”

Zhong Shen, “… Shen Yingying and I, there is nothing between us.”

Ye Wei’s eyes were blank.

Zhong Shen was uncomfortable with it. “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me? I am not one to lie to others. You should know this.”

Ye Wei smiled, “Zhong Shen. If I’m not wrong, you have friends who are also engaged, just like you, right?”

Why would she ask that? Zhong Shen wondered for a moment. But, it was only for a moment!

His eyes widened abruptly as if shocked. He stared at Ye Wei. The indifference and confusion in his eyes were finally cleared, revealing a rare look of loss.

Ye Wei laughed. She was so fragile and her voice was small. But, her voice seemed to have some enchantment, like a devil, “You have, right? They will stay and accompany their fiancees, right? Drink coffee together, watch scenery together, and chat together? It’s not only once or twice. It’s not an accidental meeting either. It’s countless, countless, deliberate meetings. For whom did you act like that, Zhong Shen?”

Zhong Shen left in embarrassment. 

Zhang Kexin came out of the bathroom and saw Ye Wei’s pale face. Ye Wei smiled at her and waved to her to come closer, “Come here, eat grapes. It’s so sweet.”

For some unknown reason, Zhang Kexin shuddered.

“I’ve never seen Zhong Shen like that.” Zhang Kexin said.

“Never seen him like what? Like he finally understands that his words have no credibility at all?”

Zhang Kexin nodded, “I know Zhong Shen is emotionally-stunted and is very slow to realize feelings… No. It’s not that. It’s just that he doesn’t have any interest in women. I heard that a woman tried to seduce him and even sat in his arms. He pushed that woman away without batting his eyes. It’s not weird, but the weird thing was he didn’t even react to that woman. At that time, some people said that Zhong Shen couldn’t…”

“Assume that Zhong Shen indeed couldn’t. Yet, you still chase him. Are you a masochist?”

“… is that the point you get from what I just said?”

Ye Wei shrugged. She offered Zhang Kexin grapes, “Eat or not?”

Zhang Kexin was angry, “Eat shit!”

Zhang Kexin sat down by the bed and said with a loss, “Actually, when Zhong Shen said that he has nothing to do with Shen Yingying, I am not sure whether to believe it or not. He said there was nothing between them, but subconsciously, he cares about Shen Yingying from the bottom of his heart.”

Ye Wei oh’ed.

Zhang Kexin, “……”   

Zhang Kexin gritted her teeth, she really read it right, Ye Wei was getting more and more scheming, a hundred times more scheming than before!

For example, what she said to Zhong Shen just now, she was saying that Shen Yingying was a willing and fully knowing mistress in their relationship. She let Zhong Shen know that Shen Yingying was not as pure and innocent as she looked. She let doubts grow in Zhong Shen’s heart. However, even though she said that, Zhang Kexin was satisfied. Shen Yingying having a hard time was a balm for her soul.

As expected! The scheming bitch in front of her wasn’t someone she could underestimate!

Ye Wei said, “Okay, now let’s start our plan.”

Zhang Kexin, “?”

What plan?

Why didn’t she know anything about it?

Ye Wei rubbed her chin, “We should be quick and use this opportunity while Zhong Shen is still feeling guilty towards me.”

When Zhang Kexin heard this, she instantly became more vigilant. Today Ye Wei not only calculated Shen Yingying, but also calculated Zhong Shen! It was just to create this opportunity!

Was this the legendary hatred born of love?

In this house, we love strong FL. I’m still alive, as you can see. It’s really a lucky thing that I’m not angered to death by you.

Self-reward chapter because Chapter 12.2 of MLiS is released and also a self-comfort chapter because I stopped procrastinating and had done Chapter 13.1!!! Damn, it’s painful. I need some dog blood to comfort my shattered heart.

But hey, I got

“You can’t abandon me after you are done with me…”

Qian Xu burst out laughing, “What ‘abandon you after I am done with you‘? I haven’t done anything yet!”

Luo Lan thickened her face, “You can do it now. There are more than ten hours left!”

Qian Xu’s chest vibrated with his uncontrolled laugh.

those horni-slash-fluff lines from Chapter 12.2 for comfort. But the fluff isn’t enough to overweight the angst on Chapter 13 so here it is! Dog blood! Dog blood! Everyone gets to read dog blood!

Do you like tragedy? What am I asking for, duh. You read this novel. It is obvious. Anyway, check “The Memory Lost in Space” for a journey full of tears and “The Villains I Raised, All Died!” for another QT tragedy novel. I really really recommend MLiS, but there is still a long way until it is completely translated…! *side-eyes Lyre*
