Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chai Mu and his two friends had been looking for opportunities to approach Shen Wan. More than half a month had passed, and they still hadn’t found any excuses. They were growing a bit anxious.

To be honest, they didn’t know how to handle a girl who wasn’t afraid of thugs and possessed incredible strength.

They were aware that Ji Meng and Shen Wan had grown closer. But they didn’t believe Ji Meng and Shen Wan could truly get along for long. After all, the gap between them was too great. Someone with Shen Wan’s background couldn’t fit into the social circle of a financial tycoon’s daughter.

Even they couldn’t integrate into Ji Meng’s circle.

Because Ji Meng’s circle consisted of only Ji Meng herself. For many years, since Ji Meng was brought back by Mr. Ji at the age of five, countless peers had tried various ways to get close to her, all with Mr. Ji’s permission. But in the end, none succeeded.

Ten years had passed, and Ji Meng’s circle still only included Ji Meng. Well, perhaps Shen Wan would be a temporary addition. But they still felt Shen Wan would eventually disappear from Ji Meng’s circle. Over the past decade, Shen Wan wasn’t the only one who had briefly entered Ji Meng’s circle, but these people were all driven out by Ji Meng within a month.

No one knew the reason, but none of those expelled had any complaints. Being friends with Ji Meng for a month was enough to gain some benefits from Mr. Ji.

With these precedents, even though they knew about the relationship between the two, they hadn’t given up on their game. Of course, they had to be careful not to use extreme methods that might upset Ji Meng and cause trouble for their families. Surely Ji Meng couldn’t object to their normal pursuit, right?

On this day, Shen Wan’s class was having a big cleanup. Shen Wan went to fetch water to clean the windows. Just as she was about to turn a corner with a bucket, Chai Mu approached from another direction. Both were turning the corner and couldn’t see each other. Under normal circumstances, they would certainly collide.

According to Chai Mu’s plan, Shen Wan would be drenched, and he would naturally apologize, make amends, and kindly offer to fetch another bucket of water for her. Then they would become acquainted.

What he didn’t expect was that when they were about to collide, he had no intention of stopping, but Shen Wan was already prepared. As he was about to hit the bucket, Shen Wan quickly pushed it forward, spilling the entire contents on Chai Mu. At the same time, she “weakened” and fell to the side, only getting the edge of her clothes slightly wet.

Shen Wan thought: “If I didn’t fall down, it would be hard to explain. People would surely think I was careless and spilled a bucket of water on the great school heartthrob Chai Mu. Although I did it on purpose, he brought it on himself. This is self-protection, out of necessity. For example, if you bump into a scamming old lady’s clothes, don’t think, just fall down and have an epileptic fit.”

[188: “Wan Wan, can you be any more shameless? With such thick skin, whoever falls for you must be blind.”]

He was in constant despair, wondering why he was bound to such a shameless and brazen host. She challenged his bottom line every day, refreshing his worldview and instilling wrong ideas. He was a contradictory system living in both pain and joy.

“Ouch, my foot hurts so much,” Shen Wan cried out, startling Chai Mu, who had been drenched. He glanced at his soaked shirt, pants, and shoes, then at Shen Wan lying on the ground with a pained expression as if truly injured. He quickly wrung out his shirt and pants, then walked to Shen Wan’s side. With a somewhat cold expression, he asked, “Classmate, are you alright? Are you hurt?”

“Not so good, very much hurt,” Shen Wan said with a pained expression. “My foot hurts. You bumped into my foot. This is troublesome. Our class is having a big cleanup, and they’re waiting for me to bring back water.”

Although Chai Mu felt uncomfortable being half soaked, seeing Shen Wan’s pained expression, he saw an opportunity. “Can you walk? Should we go to the infirmary?”

“It just hurts a bit. I can still walk.”

As Chai Mu was about to help her up, Ji Meng’s voice came from behind Shen Wan. “Shen Wan, what happened?” Ji Meng’s voice sounded somewhat urgent. As Shen Wan turned her head, Ji Meng had already crouched down, grabbed Shen Wan’s arm, and helped her up. Shen Wan naturally took advantage of the support to stand.

“Someone bumped into me.”

“Look, that person bumped into me, and my foot hurts,” Shen Wan said with a worried expression. “My classmates are waiting for me to bring water. I still need to fetch several buckets.”

As Ji Meng was about to say something, Chai Mu spoke up. He wouldn’t miss this opportunity. “I’m sorry,” he said, walking to the iron bucket and picking it up. He slightly pursed his thin lips, his voice cold, perfectly matching his appearance. “I’ll take care of fetching the water.” Without waiting for Shen Wan’s response, he took the bucket and went to fill it at the faucet.

“How’s your foot? Does it still hurt?” Ji Meng asked softly, her beautiful face furrowed. “I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

Shen Wan quickly grabbed Ji Meng’s arm and whispered, “It’s not that serious. It’ll be fine after a bit of rest. Someone’s helping me fetch water and bring it to the classroom. My foot doesn’t hurt anymore.” Shen Wan’s expression was very serious. “I need to stay here and watch him fetch water. If I go to the infirmary, what if he turns around and denies it, throwing the bucket aside? Won’t that make my classmates wait a long time?”

Chai Mu had returned with the bucket just in time to hear Shen Wan’s words. He immediately wanted to throw the bucket down the stairs as she had suggested. But he held back. This girl was different. Even if it was to vent his anger, he had to succeed first, then dump her and humiliate her publicly. He, Chai Mu, had never been treated like this before.

“Let’s go,” Chai Mu said coldly. This was just his personality. If it were any other girl, being helped to fetch water and deliver it to the classroom would have made them extremely excited.

This Shen Wan was something else, actually staring at him with eyes that doubted he would run away. He had never seen such an inconsiderate person. He really regretted choosing this girl as his target.

She wasn’t pure, wasn’t a good girl, wasn’t a pitiful little thing. She was simply hypocritical, affected, and extremely difficult to deal with.

“Um, what’s your name?” Shen Wan, supported by Ji Meng, followed behind Chai Mu. She finally asked Chai Mu’s name, which improved his mood somewhat. At least she was now paying attention to him as a person.

He replied expressionlessly and coldly: “Chai Mu.”

“Oh, so it’s Chai Mu.”

Hearing Shen Wan’s words, Chai Mu’s lips curled slightly. His name should be familiar to all the girls in school. Now that she knew he was Chai Mu, he wondered if she regretted her earlier behavior.

“Don’t know you.”

Chai Mu’s curled lips hadn’t even relaxed when he heard Shen Wan’s indifferent remark. Before his anger could rise, she continued, “I don’t care what kind of wood you are. You bumped into me earlier. Now my foot hurts because of you, and my task today is to fetch water. Our class is having a big cleanup. Until the cleanup is finished, you need to help fetch all the water we need.”

Chai Mu: “……” Should he not have volunteered? Should he have let Su Rong do this instead? Was it too late to back out now?

“Don’t you dare run away or try to escape responsibility. There are cameras at that spot, you can’t get away,” Shen Wan said very seriously. “If you try to run after bumping into someone, I’ll check the surveillance footage and report you to your teacher! Classmate, you’re so handsome, surely you’re not the type to cause trouble and then avoid responsibility, right?”

Chai Mu couldn’t even manage a smirk anymore. He glanced back at Shen Wan while carrying the water bucket.

Ji Meng stepped forward slightly. “Since you bumped into Shen Wan and now her foot hurts so she can’t fetch water, seriously affecting the class cleanup, you indeed can’t avoid the responsibility of fetching water.”

“I understand. Leave it to me. I’ll fetch as much water as you need.”

Ji Meng helped Shen Wan to her classroom and brought a chair to the doorway for Shen Wan to sit and keep an eye on Chai Mu at all times.

“I also have the task of cleaning windows,” Shen Wan said, pushing her luck. If 188 didn’t know her true nature, he would have been deceived by her serious expression.

“I’ll do it,” Chai Mu replied.

Chai Mu fetching water and cleaning windows amazed Shen Wan’s classmates. Later they learned that Chai Mu had knocked Shen Wan down, causing her foot pain and inability to fetch water or clean windows, so her tasks fell to Chai Mu.

As Chai Mu diligently cleaned, Shen Wan and Ji Meng sat arm in arm on chairs, watching him go back and forth. Ji Meng’s presence seemed to sanction Chai Mu’s actions, so after initial surprise, the classmates grew accustomed to it. Some girls were quite happy to clean alongside Chai Mu.

Thus, Chai Mu’s attempt to approach Shen Wan ended in failure.

When Luo Junxin and Su Rong learned of this, they couldn’t help but laugh after touching Chai Mu’s damp clothes. Chai Mu sat expressionlessly in his seat, his fist slamming the desk. He looked up at Su Rong and said, “You’re next.”

“I know.”

“This girl is a bit difficult to handle,” Chai Mu frowned. “She’s different from other girls. She doesn’t seem to care about my looks or my status at school.”

“Of course,” Su Rong said, patting Chai Mu’s shoulder with a smile. “Chai Mu, don’t forget who she’s latched onto now. She’s close to Ji Meng, almost inseparable. Do you think she’d give up her connection to Ji Meng for you? In that sense, she’s quite clever.”

“Then how can we get close to her?” Luo Junxin asked. “It’s been over half a month, and she’s only met Chai Mu, making him fetch water and clean windows. Who can swallow this?”

“Isn’t it more interesting this way?” Su Rong smiled. “Think about it. When she eventually develops real feelings for one of us, only to find out we were joking, how devastated she’ll be. If Ji Meng abandons her at that moment too, her life will be plunged into darkness.”

“Without Ji Meng’s support or our backing, even with her strength, what can she do? Will the people at school still fawn over her? They’ll likely turn on her, and she’ll face endless mockery and ridicule. Look at her now, so arrogant and conceited because of her relationship with Ji Meng. Someone so vain probably won’t be willing to lose all this. By then, we can toy with her however we like.”

Chai Mu’s interest was piqued. “Do you have something in mind?”

“I didn’t have any ideas before, but the day before yesterday, I heard something from my mom,” Su Rong said mysteriously. “If it’s true, Shen Wan will lose Ji Meng as her backer. I never imagined the secret Ji Corporation kept so tightly years ago was this. No wonder Ji Meng has behaved unusually since childhood.”

“Now we just wait for that person to appear,” Su Rong said, his face full of calculation. “Once Ji Meng falls, Shen Wan will lose her support, and people at school will automatically ostracize her. That’s when we’ll have our chance. A person might be physically strong, but not necessarily mentally strong. We’ve always aimed to break her spirit, not compete with her in strength.”

In the end, Su Rong didn’t reveal who “that person” was. But Su Rong never joked about such serious matters, so they believed that something to their advantage would soon occur.

That day, after having lunch with Ji Meng, Shen Wan returned to her classroom for a noon nap. Suddenly, [188’s voice sounded: “Wan Wan, your Little Meng has been called out of the classroom and is heading downstairs. Class starts in ten minutes. Do you want to go?”]

If nothing else, 188 was very diligent about the tasks Shen Wan had assigned. Whenever Ji Meng was at school and left her classroom, he would always remind Shen Wan. He didn’t understand why Shen Wan cared so much about Ji Meng’s whereabouts, as if Ji Meng were an infant.

Shen Wan quickly stood up without answering 188 and rushed out, following Ji Meng’s footsteps according to 188’s directions. At the bottom of the teaching building, a very young and beautiful woman appeared in front of Ji Meng. The woman said something to Ji Meng, and they walked off in another direction.

[188 reminded her: “The flower bed area of your school is quite secluded.”]

“What do you want to tell me?” Ji Meng looked at the woman in front of her, her fists clenched tightly. “If you want to move into our home, it’s useless to ask me. Dad won’t agree.”

The woman’s beautiful face suddenly turned hideous, then she laughed. “Little Meng, of course Mommy misses you and came to see you.”

Ji Meng pursed her lips tightly and asked uncertainly, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true. You’re flesh of my flesh, how could I not miss you?” The woman’s red lips parted in a smile full of malice. “It’s been ten years, Little Meng. Why are you still so ugly? You’re truly hideous. How could I have given birth to such an ugly daughter? If you were a bit prettier, your father would surely have taken me back, held a grand wedding, and let me marry him in style.”

“It’s because you’re too ugly, you little monster. You’ve held me back for so long, yet you’re still living well. How do you have the courage to go on living?” As the woman spoke, her face twisted, losing all beauty. “I really don’t know what that man sees in you. He’d rather keep an ugly monster like you than take me back.”

“I’m not ugly,” Ji Meng said, taking out her small mirror and looking at herself carefully. Nervously examining her face in the mirror, which was still beautiful, she said, “I’m very pretty.”

“You’re just an ugly monster. You’re very ugly. I’m your mother, I gave birth to you. I know best how ugly you are… That man must have told you you’re beautiful, right? He’s lying to you, he…”

Before the woman could finish, Shen Wan suddenly rushed out from the side, knocking the woman to the ground. Then she covered her mouth and screamed, “Where did this ugly monster come from? So ugly, oh—— it burns my eyes, my eyes are polluted.” Then she forcefully pushed the woman away and ran quickly to Ji Meng’s side. “Little Meng, who is that ugly monster?”

“Little Meng, let me have a good look at you. She’s too ugly, I need to look at beautiful you to cleanse my eyes.”

A smile appeared on Ji Meng’s lips, and the unease in her eyes mostly dissipated. “Then look carefully. I’ll stand right here and not move.”
