WfDO- Chapter 31

Arc 2
The Vicious Supporting Female Lead with Unbridled Love (12)

Shen Yingying was wearing a pure white dress. Her long, straight hair was scattered on her shoulders. Cute pearls with stars were looming in her hair. She was already beautiful and cute, dressed up like this, she looked even purer. People would get captivated by her at the first sight. 

Liu Xian was dazed. He felt that Shen Yingying at this moment was like an angel who had fallen into the world. Pure and flawless. The most special existence in his life.

She was the only woman who treated him as an ordinary person, regardless of his identity and status. For her, he was just ‘Liu Xian’.

“You promised me. As long as I be your companion at your grandfather’s birthday party, I won’t owe you anything anymore. You won’t ask me to do this and that again, right?”

“Of course, I, Liu Xian, am a man of my words.”

“Okay, that’s good. Don’t break your promise.” She attempted to threaten him by widening her eyes and staring at him. Liu Xian chuckled and fondly shook his head. 

Shen Yingying originally imagined it was just a simple birthday party. But, there were so many people at the party. She tried her best to keep a low profile so as not to let someone notice her. It was her fault to ever think that Liu Xian, a fuerdai, was an ordinary fuerdai.

The birthday party for the Liu-jia‘s Elder invited most of the celebrities and important people. That means not only Zhong Shen was here, but even Ye Wei was here!

She was hiding in the corner, eating a small cake. When she saw a man in a black suit appear at the lively party, she was dazed.

Since the news came out, Zhong Shen’s attitude towards her has become strange. It has been a long time since she met him on the rooftop.

She knew and understood that Zhong Shen was avoiding her.

She merely wanted to be friends with him, but now she’s afraid she couldn’t even be friends with him…

“You have been staring at him, do you like him so much?”

Liu Xian walked behind Shen Yingying, following her gaze to see Zhong Shen not far away.

“We are friends.”

Her thought on Zhong Shen was seen by Liu Xian and Shen Yingying panicked. She quickly denied it.

Liu Xian grinned, “That’s good if it is only friends.”

Shen Yingying said with a guilty conscience, “Of course it is! ”

Liu Xian replied, “Hmm. I’m going to greet my grandfather. You can eat whatever you want here. Wait for me to come back. ”

Shen Yingying nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll be fine by myself. ”

After Liu Xian left, Shen Yingying searched for Zhong Shen again. To her disappointment, there was no trace of him left in the last place she saw him.

“What are you looking at?”

Shen Yingying was startled by the sudden sound behind her. She turned and discovered that it was Zhang Kexin.

Zhang Kexin was also dressed up. Although she was smiling, her eyes revealed disdain and arrogance, “Shen Yingying, you really didn’t disappoint me. You did a good job before. ”

Shen Yingying, “……”   

She said with a serious expression, “I don’t understand what you are talking about. ”

Zhang Kexin smiled. This bitch was quite pretentious, her acting skill was higher than that of Ye Wei’s. But, if she couldn’t act, that would be weird. “I understand, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone, I will keep it a secret for you. It must be hard for Ye Wei, but I’m happy because of it.”

Shen Yingying was annoyed, “Zhang-xiaojie, I don’t think I have any secrets that you need to keep for me. We are not familiar with each other. And about Ye Wei, I have no intention to hurt her at all.”

Zhang Kexin was displeased. She whispered, “Zhong Shen and Ye Wei terminated their engagement, aren’t you very happy about it?”

Shen Yingying was once again seen through and panicked, “I never thought about it that way. ”

“Ha, who are you putting this act for? I can see with my own eyes how happy you are. You must be so happy you stayed up all night, right? You must have wanted to celebrate. You like Zhong Shen as much as I do. Dare you say you didn’t think like that?”

Zhang Kexin patted Shen Yingying on the shoulder, “I’m not forcing you to admit it. I only want to express my gratitude. If it weren’t for you, Ye Wei would still be arrogant at this moment. ”

Shen Yingying glanced at Zhang Kexin’s treacherous face. She didn’t even want to correct her anymore. She wanted to stay away from her, “Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.” ”

Zhang Kexin gripped her hand, “Go where, hm? Let me tell you, Ye Wei will also be here. If she finds out that you are there, you won’t have a good time. You have to be careful. ”

“Thank you. I won’t bother Zhang-xiaojie any longer, then.”

Shen Yingying ached to push Zhang Kexin away, but couldn’t. She became flustered and at loss. 

At this moment, Liu Xian, who had just been greeting his grandfather, arrived. He shoved Zhang Kexin’s hand away and then gathered Shen Yingying into his arms. He narrowed his eyes at Zhang Kexin, “Zhang-xiaojie, what are you doing to my companion?”

“Liu-shao misunderstood. Shen-xiaojie and I have met a few times. I’m only catching up with her. I just didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that Liu-shao and Shen Yingying also know each other?”

Zhang Kexin waved her hand with a smirk, her nails studded with gems were dazzling under the light. Shen Yingying pursed her lips. Zhang Kexin sneered when she looked at it. Shen Yingying was currently like an upright person who had been bullied. This appearance of hers really made people feel pity and wanted to protect her.

Liu Xian said, “Zhang-xiaojie is an outsider. There is no need to worry about my personal affairs, right? Zhang-xiaojie, please mind your own business.”

Such merciless words directly made Zhang Kexin’s face stiff. She made it difficult for Shen Yingying, but she was the one who got laughed at by Shen Yingying. It was very embarrassing for her. “Like I said, Liu-shao misunderstood. I just think it is fate to meet Shen Yingying on a rare occasion like this.”

Liu Xian sneered, “Oh, then Zhang-xiaojie should mind her own business and doesn’t need to mind my business.”

Zhang Kexin, “……”   

She side-eyed Shen Yingying, who was protected in Liu Xian’s arms. She had a flash of enlightenment. Shen Yingying really deserved her title as a bitch! No wonder Ye Wei was defeated by her, she was really powerful!

She took down Ye Wei when she let her guard down, she was so subtle about it! She could even pretend to be so good and didn’t admit it was her own doing!

Indirectly, Zhang Kexin herself was seen through by Zhong Shen because of her. She and Ye Wei were arguing about her when Zhong Shen caught them red-handed!

Both she and Ye Wei were defeated by her. Shen Yingying’s wisdom lay in the fact that no matter what or when, she would never admit her tricks.

Ye Wei had warned her, saying Shen Yingying was smart and cautious.

Zhang Kexin compared Ye Wei and Shen Yingying in her heart. She reluctantly admitted that she herself would have a hard time defeating Shen Yingying.

She could only back down, “I didn’t mean that, Liu-shao misunderstood…”

“Hm~ So it’s like this. I didn’t expect Liu-shao and Shen Yingying to be friends. When I saw your photos at the hotel with her, I was thinking who was the other person. ”

Another voice came from behind. Zhang Kexin looked back and spotted Ye Wei in a long black dress! Ye Wei, that scheming bitch, put on makeup that made her look extremely pure. Her long wavy hair was brushed behind her. The jewelry she wore was not the elegant gems Zhang Kexin saw when she visited her, but a glittering and translucent diamond.

It was not her usual style. The only thing that made her look familiar was probably her constant arrogance and overbearing aura.

The sudden appearance of Ye Wei made Shen Yingying’s face look even more pitiful. She tugged Liu Xian’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t talk anymore, let’s just go.”

Liu Xian didn’t listen to her. “Today is my grandfather’s birthday, Ye-xiaojie, I hope you don’t ruin the atmosphere.”

Very good, he used Liu-lao’s name to restrain Ye Wei.

Today was a special occasion. Not to mention that Zhang Kexin, Ye Wei also didn’t dare to cause trouble on Liu-lao’s birthday.

Who could afford to offend him?

Liu Xian used Liu-lao’s name. Naturally, Zhang Kexin and Ye Wei zipped their mouths and didn’t trouble Shen Yingying again lest the atmosphere turned bad, 

Ye Wei only smiled. “Liu-shao is right. If the distinguished guests present knew that the lady in front of us was the culprit who caused me and Zhong Shen to terminate our engagement, how bad do you think they would react? Sigh. I can’t even think about how Liu-lao will react.”

Liu Xian’s face became stiff and Shen Yingying’s face became ugly.

Zhang Kexin applauded Ye Wei in her heart. Why didn’t she think of it just now?

Ye Wei comforted, “Liu-shao, don’t worry. Although I’m used to being willful and arrogant, I still have the heart to respect the elder and love the children. I hope Liu-lao will live long. How can I dare to ruin the atmosphere of this party? No matter how dissatisfied I am, I will treat it as if I haven’t seen anything. I respected Liu-lao so much, after all.”

Liu Xian, “……”   

Liu Xian was speechless. He threatened Ye Wei but she thanked him instead.

Zhang Kexin nodded and echoed, “She is right. Liu-shao, rest assured. We are not ignorant of the greater good. Liu-shao must keep this a secret. Don’t slip up, okay? After all, Shen Yingying’s identity is, ah, a little embarrassing. “

Ye Wei glanced at Shen Yingying, “Liu-lao is old and already frail. He won’t be able to stand such a big stimulation like this. Liu-shao, don’t you think so?”

Ye Wei and Zhang Kexin’s words silenced him in an instant. With that said, he not only had to thank Ye Wei for her insight but also had to carry the pot of ignoring his grandfather’s health.

Shen Yingying also realized that the situation was not good. She stood up and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll leave now. ”

Leave?

How could you and the Male Lead deepen your relationship if you leave?

Was Liu Xian slacking and didn’t do his job as Supporting Male properly?

Ye Wei advised, “You are Liu-shao‘s companion. If you leave before the party begins, what do you think the others will think?”

Shen Yingying was embarrassed and bit her lips.

Liu Xian suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and forced out a smile, “Thank you for the reminder. We still have something to do so we can’t entertain you any longer. Ye-xiaojie, Zhang-xiaojie, we’ll take our leaves here.”

After that, he pulled Shen Yingying and left, his steps looking a little rushed.

Zhang Kexin snorted. She rolled her eyes at the sight. “Do men like the pitiful, poor, and innocent style like Shen Yingying?”

Ye Wei consoled, “Don’t worry, men like that have a heavy taste.”

Zhang Kexin, “……”   

Ye Wei nodded at her and left.

She was not in the mood to fight with Zhang Kexin now. All she thought about was her incoming work. Before her clock-out, she spent a lot of time with Wei Fengqiong and Ye-fu. The two of them were really good to her. It could be said that they were pampering and spoiling her. Because of this, she was reluctant to leave them, but she also wanted to go back to her own world and meet her real parents again.

So, even though she knew that it was cruel to let the elders send away their children, she still has to do it. This was her job. 

She must return to her own family.

Zhong Shen was looking at Ye Wei from a distance. She was holding Wei Fengqiong’s hand. She was wearing a simple long black dress, which was not like her usual arrogance and overbearing style in the past. She was also quieter, only habitually nodded to disperse the hazy silence. There was no arrogance at all. Instead, she looked gentler, especially when she smiled.

Ye Wei was smiling brightly at the next table. He couldn’t hear what she said, but Wei Fengqiong was laughing at her words.

She also drank two glasses of wine, her pale face was dyed pink. Her eyes became brighter and brighter.

“Zhong-zong, I’ll give you a toast.”

Liu Xian raised his glass to Zhong Shen. Zhong Shen returned to his senses and caught a glimpse of Shen Yingying next to Liu Xian. Shen Yingying pursed her lips and glanced back. Their gaze met and she lowered her head in a panic.

Liu-lao sat near them. The old man smiled and said to Zhong Shen, “My grandson has been naughty since he was a child. If only he was half as good as you, I would be so grateful.”

Liu Xian was Liu-lao‘s favorite grandson. He has been with him since he was a child and he was very partial to him.

Zhong Shen took a sip from his glass, “Liu-lao praised me too much”.

Shen Yingying was uncomfortable in her seat. She wanted to find a hole to bury herself in. Zhong Shen’s gaze was like a knife to her heart. 

Until halfway through the party, when Zhong Shen went to the bathroom, she couldn’t help but follow him.

In the corridor outside the bathroom, she finally had a chance to talk to Zhong Shen alone, “Zhong Shen, Liu Xian is my friend, he asked me to accompany him, I didn’t know you would come too…”

Zhong Shen hummed, “There is no need for you to explain this to me.”

Shen Yingying paused and reluctantly smiled, “I’m not. I just want to talk to you…”

“Mn.”

Shen Yingying suddenly asked, “Zhong Shen, are you angry with me?”

Zhong Shen, “No.”

“Really not? Then why are you so indifferent to me?”

Shen Yingying was sad. “You must be blaming me. If it weren’t for me, you and Ye Wei’s engagement wouldn’t get terminated, nor would there be those inexplicable scandals, let alone cause so much harm to the company… Zhong Shen, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen. I really didn’t mean it. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Zhong Shen said, “It’s my fault, it has nothing to do with you. ”

“Oho, how interesting. In order to clear up your relationship with Shen Yingying, and in order to make Shen Yingying happy, our dignified Zhong-zong could also lie with his eyes open”

Ye Wei strolled out from a corner and directly interrupted the conversation between Shen Yingying and Zhong Shen. She crossed her hands around her chest and lifted her chin. Looking arrogant as usual. “Shen Yingying, Zhong Shen doesn’t want your apology, but I want. As one of the parties involved, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”

Shen Yingying didn’t want to. She looked at Zhong Shen, but Zhong Shen was looking at Ye Wei. He frowned. “Shen Yingying, you go first.”

Shen Yingying shook her head, “No, I won’t go…” How could she let Zhong Shen alone be ridiculed by Ye Wei?

Zhong Shen’s frown now was aimed at her. “There is something that I have to say to Ye Wei alone.”

Shen Yingying, “……”   

Ye Wei, “…” Ai, this man. Aren’t you afraid that the Female Lead misunderstood you?

Seeing Shen Yingying’s face darkening, she couldn’t help worrying about Zhong Shen’s future, “Ha. I’m just asking her to apologize to me. Why? Are you distressed for her?”

Shen Yingying’s eyes lit up.

Zhong Shen, “No.”

“Ha. ha.”

“I’m not distressed for her. Have you read the message I sent you?”

“Nope, believe it or not, I didn’t read it.”

Shen Yingying stepped forward, “Ye-xiaojie, I’m the one who should say sorry to you. It’s all my fault. I don’t expect you to forgive me, but don’t embarrass Zhong Shen. You have known him for so long. Shouldn’t you be the one that knows by heart that Zhong Shen isn’t the type to cheat? You have liked him for so long. You should know him better than me. He can’t lie. He disdains to lie. He is by no means a cheater.”

Shen Yingying’s words made a lot of sense. Ye Wei and Zhong Shen had known each other for more than 20 years. She should be the one who knows him best. She knows that he was not the type to lie. She should have known that he was not the type to cheat. Why didn’t she believe what he said?

If it’s like that, wasn’t Ye Wei the one that is at fault?

Ye Wei mockingly smiled. “It’s because I know him the best that I didn’t believe him.”

That’s right. Ye Wei liked Zhong Shen so much. She knew Zhong Shen the best. She could see Zhong Shen’s abnormal care for Shen Yingying even with her eyes closed.

Shen Yingying’s eyes lit up with hopes and expectations.

Zhong Shen preached to her, “Ye Wei, although you know me, you don’t know me better than I myself do. When I said there is nothing between us, there is really nothing.”

Ye Wei spread her hands, “It didn’t matter anymore. Shen Yingying, come on, I’m still waiting for your apology. “

Shen Yingying could bear to say sorry to Zhong Shen, but she couldn’t to Ye Wei. She pursed her lips and refused to speak. She thought Zhong Shen would help her. Who would know, Zhong Shen didn’t say a word at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrow as if asking, why aren’t you apologizing?

Shen Yingying, “……”   

She bit her lip and said sorry to Ye Wei.

Ye Wei wasn’t satisfied, “Sorry, about what? Sorry for robbing my fiance? That is indeed wrong, but you don’t need to feel sorry about it. This just proves your excellent talent to seduce people. There’s nothing to be sorry for. Blame me if you want to blame someone. It’s me who doesn’t have enough means to be better than you. I can’t even keep my fiance. I lost to you, I don’t dare to ask for your apology for that.”

Shen Yingying’s eyes and ears were red. She couldn’t say a word of rebuttal. Her eyes were flushed, making her more pitiful for her grievances.

Ye Wei snorted. Seeing that she had bullied her enough, she left. 

In heart, she praised herself. She was really dedicated! These days, there are not many people like her who still work so hard when they are about to clock out!

After the dinner, Wei Fengqiong went to play mahjong with the old ladies and Ye-fu returned to the company. 

Ye Wei was standing alone in the lobby. By now, the guests had almost dispersed. Without the previous excitement, even the air became quiet.

She wandered to the door of the hotel and saw Shen Yingying and Liu Xian together. Zhong Shen was standing alone on the other side. One was one the left and one was one the right, separated by a long distance.

Shen Yingying’s eyes never left Zhong Shen, it’s a pity that Zhong Shen didn’t look back at her. He didn’t even give her a glance.

Liu Xian’s expression was sour. He held Shen Yingying’s hand. “Stop looking. He won’t look back at you”

Shen Yingying retracted her gaze and shook his hand. “I know.”

Liu Xian smiled bitterly. He put his hands into his trouser pocket. “Why are you so stupid? You know that and you still looked at him?”

Shen Yingying didn’t want to do that either, but she just couldn’t help it. She couldn’t forget him.

Ye Wei walked between them and nodded with satisfaction. What does this mean?

That means she’s doing a good job~!

Wasn’t it her job as the vicious Supporting Female to spare no effort to destroy the Female Lead and the Male Lead’s feelings? That’s right! See! Who dares to say that she is not doing a good job?

Zhong Shen knew that Ye Wei was coming, he could smell her faint fragrance. The fragrance made him dazed. He remembered the night when Ye Wei terminated their engagement. He remembered her questioning. He remembered her painful and broken-heart expression. 

In fact, he always thought Ye Wei was an arrogant and willful person. She was spoiled and loved. Always carefree.

But he recently discovered that she was more than that.

She, just like others, had such strong emotions. Even if she was arrogant; Even if she was willful, she also would be in pain. She also would feel sad. 

Whether it’s Ye Wei, who was bullying others; Ye Wei, who carefully watched him and said that she wanted to rectify her wrongdoings and be a good person; or Ye Wei, who questioned him with pain in her eyes.

They are all Ye Wei, a lively and passionate Ye Wei.

The Ye Wei right now. She is full of hatred and disgust. She desperately denied him. As if she had completely seen through him and knew she was abandoned by him. She no longer believes anything he says.

Zhong Shen felt a wave of headaches. For the first time, he felt powerless and his heart ached.

And at the same time, he was confused. Why did he treat Shen Yingying differently?

Obviously, there was nothing special about her. He didn’t know why he treated Shen Yingying differently, just as he didn’t know when he had the habit of going to the rooftop.

Just thinking about it, Zhong Shen’s headaches became worse. He closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

That was when,

Suddenly…

He was pushed.

The strength of the push was fast and fierce.

He snapped his eyes open. He had no time to see what was going on, but his body rushed forward and he fell to the ground.

There was a loud noise behind him…

Bang

…and a woman’s screams.

“AH…!”

Zhong Shen sharply turned his head. The place where he was standing just now… 

A car had hit that place. The car was in bad shape. The front half was dented badly, the original shape couldn’t be seen. The wall was cracked with cobwebs. There was smoke from the car.

The alarm bells blazed.

The stiff Liu Xian rushed over. His complexion was ugly. He shouted, “Someone! Call an ambulance. Quick! Call an ambulance! ”

He saw it with his own eyes. The car was speeding towards Zhong Shen, but Ye Wei pushed Zhong Shen away.

Ye Wei pushed Zhong Shen away!

Ye Wei pushed away Zhong Shen?

That arrogant, willful, mean and vicious Ye Wei? The one that hated Zhong Shen!

Shen Yingying was shaking all over. She was fumbling to search for her mobile phone.

Zhang Kexin came out of nowhere when she heard the sound. She was panicking. “Ye Wei!”

Zhong Shen immediately recalled the hands that pushed him away. His heart skipped a beat and his feet softened.

Ye Wei…?

Ye Wei?!

The hands are Ye Wei’s?!

He didn’t even know how he got up from the ground.

Step by step, he walked over, bypassing the smoking car.

He really saw Ye Wei lying on the ground.

She was lying there with her hair messed up. Blood pooled on the ground.

He could smell it even from afar. 

Zhang Kexin was beside her, shouting.

Ye Wei!

Ye Wei!

Ye Wei!

But she didn’t wake up. No matter how many times she called, she didn’t wake up. Zhang Kexin noticed Zhong Shen and promptly urged him.

“Zhong Shen, Zhong Shen! Ye Wei likes you the most. Call out to her. Quick! Call her!”

“If you are the one who calls her, she will definitely wake up!”

“Zhong Shen, come on! Quickly call her ah!”

Zhong Shen knelt on the ground. His face was as white as paper. 

Ye Wei lay there, lifeless. Her face and forehead were wounded. Bright red blood became the only makeup on her face.

He breathlessly opened and closed his mouth.

Ye Wei…

There was no sound coming from his mouth. However, Ye Wei, who was lying down, seemed to have heard it. She stirred and slowly opened her eyes.

Zhang Kexin wept with joy, “Ye Wei, you’re awake! Don’t be afraid. The ambulance will be here soon. You’ll be fine. You definitely will be fine.”

Ye Wei hazily blinked. She didn’t seem to know what was happening to her. She slowly raised her left hand to Zhong Shen. Zhang Kexin’s mind was blank. Is she in pain? 

To their surprise, she held a handkerchief in her hand. With a very slow and stiff movement, she wiped Zhong Shen’s face. 

It was a simple movement, but it seemed to exhaust all her strength.

Zhong Shen lowered his head. He was towering over her. He held her hand and gently wiped her face. Only, the handkerchief was stained with blood. Instead of cleaning the blood on her face, it only spread the blood more.

“Did I… scare you…?”

He shook his head.

“I’m not scared…”

Mn.

That’s good.

There was relief in Ye Wei’s eyes. Slowly, her eyes closed once more.

Ry’s Corner

“Really not? Then why are you so indifferent to me?”

Because he realized his wrongs and want to repent to Ye Wei? Stop being like this ah, Shen Yingying.

She should be the one who knows him best. She knows that he was not the type to lie. She should have known that he was not the type to cheat. Why didn’t she believe what he said?

If it’s like that, wasn’t Ye Wei the one that is at fault?

Yes, just blame it at the ex-fiancee, you damned Mistress.

Ye Wei praying in her heart, pleasedon’tgetscaredpleasedon’tgetscaredpleasedon’tgetscared. My end year bonus is at stake!!! Please don’t get scared!!!
