Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 53. Puppy Love? The Played-For-A-Fool Kind (6)



The woman Shen Wan pushed to the ground was named Qiao Xinzhen, Ji Meng’s biological mother. Of course, her recent words and actions were enough to prove she was unfit to be a mother.

Ji Meng was comforted by Shen Wan’s reassuring words, and Qiao Xinzhen’s earlier comments about her ugliness didn’t bother her as much. However, whenever someone called her ugly, she inevitably recalled some unpleasant memories. Those feelings of insecurity, fear, and darkness would instantly invade her mind.

No matter how clear-headed she was, even though over ten years had passed, she still couldn’t overcome certain things.

Shen Wan linked arms with Ji Meng. “Little Meng, who’s that ugly monster? Why were you here with her? There are many bad people in this world. Don’t meet alone with someone who looks so hideous and speaks as if they never brush their teeth, with such bad breath. Who knows what such a villain might do to a beautiful girl like you?”

Ji Meng looked at Qiao Xinzhen slowly getting up from the ground with her beautiful eyes. The woman’s face no longer bore a smile, only malice and disgust. She unconsciously gripped Shen Wan’s arm and even took two steps back. Her other hand tightly clutched her pretty pink dress. The force with which she held it would have caused endless confusion to an uninformed observer.

“Little monster, you’re so ugly. How dare you wear such a pretty dress?” Qiao Xinzhen didn’t think her words would affect Ji Meng; rather, she hoped they would have some impact.

Hearing this, Ji Meng’s delicate, beautiful face instantly turned ashen. She instinctively stepped back, releasing Shen Wan with her other hand and clutching her pink dress tightly with both hands. As she continued to retreat, Shen Wan took her hand again. “Little Meng, you must have heard that a dog’s mouth can’t produce ivory, but I guarantee you’ve never heard that people who can’t speak human language must eat dog poop every day.”

“Little Meng, is this auntie jealous that you’re young and beautiful? Is she upset and coming out to vent?”

The unease in Ji Meng’s eyes lessened slightly, but she remained silent. Her pure, angelic eyes stared blankly at Qiao Xinzhen. Shen Wan took out her phone and called the police directly.

“Officer uncle, there’s a crazy person at our school. She’s verbally attacking and personally insulting my classmate, causing serious psychological harm. I suspect she’s targeting pretty young students because she’s ugly herself, using words to hurt them and causing psychological trauma to minors. The situation is serious, please come quickly.”

Qiao Xinzhen was momentarily stunned, not expecting Shen Wan to call the police. But she didn’t believe the officers would do anything to her when they arrived. She was Ji Meng’s mother, her biological mother. No matter what, this fact couldn’t be erased. As the saying goes, even upright officials find it hard to settle family disputes. Who could control her?

Ji Chensi didn’t marry her and took this little monster back instead. He paid her off with some money, making her a laughingstock and rendering her careful planning fruitless. Since that was the case, this little monster shouldn’t have it easy either. Ji Chensi might be capable, but she was Ji Meng’s mother. What could he do to her? Don’t think a bit of money could dismiss her.

She was determined to become Mrs. Ji.

Even if only in name, she was willing. As long as Ji Chensi agreed, she wouldn’t do anything to this little monster. Hmph, just a useless thing. If the little monster had been a son, perhaps Ji Chensi would have married her right away. So it was all the little monster’s fault. And her own, for keeping the child when she was Ji Chensi’s mistress, taking advantage of his inattention. She didn’t want Ji Chensi to find out because this man had no intention of marrying or letting his mistress keep a child.

Even so, countless women wanted to be Mrs. Ji, all hoping to be the exception, and naturally, she thought the same. One day, she finally found an opportunity. Taking advantage of Ji Chensi’s drunkenness and lack of protection, she really did get pregnant. After leaving Ji Chensi, she planned to hide and give birth to the child secretly. Fearing discovery, she didn’t have any prenatal checkups, only to find out in the end that it was a girl.

At the time, she was quite happy; this was Ji Chensi’s only child. Unexpectedly, he still had no intention of marrying her, instead letting her choose between keeping the child and taking money to leave, or raising the child with his support. She thought then that it was the child that displeased Ji Chensi.

Yes, because she was a girl, and an ugly little monster at that, of course Ji Chensi wouldn’t want to marry her.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xinzhen’s face grew increasingly hideous. The police arrived quite quickly, soon finding Shen Wan. Meanwhile, Shen Wan had used Ji Meng’s phone to contact the bodyguards waiting outside the school. The bodyguards and driver were now by Ji Meng’s side. Seeing Ji Meng standing there blankly, her small hands tightly gripping her pretty pink dress, their hearts sank, and their expressions became unprecedentedly serious. When they saw Qiao Xinzhen, their faces changed dramatically.

Naturally, they informed Ji Chensi of this serious matter. The police had just arrived when Ji Chensi showed up. He first noticed Ji Meng standing blankly beside Shen Wan, holding her hand. Ji Meng’s beautiful little face was completely pale, her blank state very much like how she looked ten years ago when he brought her home.

He walked up to Ji Meng, bent down, and stroked her head. “Beautiful Little Meng, tell Daddy, did someone bully you?”

Ji Chensi’s arrival did bring Ji Meng back to her senses somewhat. She instinctively glanced at Qiao Xinzhen, then quickly shook her head. “No, Daddy. I’m fine. No one bullied Little Meng.”

Hearing this unchanging answer, Ji Chensi’s face showed some helplessness. He asked again, “Really? If any bad person bullies Little Meng, Daddy will deal with them for you.”

“No, Daddy. No one bullied Little Meng. There are no bad people.” Ji Meng’s gaze was so pure, so utterly clean. It was this clean yet lifeless look in her eyes that made Ji Chensi feel sad and heartbroken.

He noticed how tightly Ji Meng was gripping her dress and took a deep breath. What had that despicable woman done to his daughter? She took the money and should have left for good. Wasn’t that much money enough for her to squander? Why did she come back? His Little Meng had finally started to be a bit happier and even made a new friend.

“Who reported this?” the officer asked.

Shen Wan quickly said, “Officer uncle, I did.” She stepped forward, pointing at Qiao Xinzhen. “That woman was inexplicably verbally attacking my classmate, who’s also my good friend. Yes, this extremely cute, beautiful, and exquisite girl. She called her an ugly monster.” Shen Wan pulled Ji Meng to her side. “Officer uncle, look, isn’t Little Meng very cute and beautiful?”

Although the officer didn’t understand the situation, he noticed that something seemed off about Ji Meng. So he nodded along with Shen Wan’s words. “This is indeed a very beautiful young lady. How could anyone call her ugly?”

The people who came with him also nodded in agreement. In their eyes, Ji Meng was as exquisite as a Barbie doll. They had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Now they were starting to suspect if that woman might really be mentally ill.

“I’m her mother!”

Qiao Xinzhen wasn’t afraid at all. Her gaze fell on Ji Chensi with a hint of excitement. After ten years, she was finally face to face with Ji Chensi again, and at such close proximity. This time, she was determined to become Mrs. Ji. No matter how capable Ji Chensi was, what could he do? She was Ji Meng’s mother no matter what. If he wanted Ji Meng to be well, Ji Chensi would have to compromise.

“Although this not-so-good-looking auntie might be Little Meng’s mother—forgive me for addressing her this way, but her behavior doesn’t deserve my respect—I have evidence that she was verbally attacking Little Meng earlier, saying things that seemed somewhat mentally unstable,” Shen Wan said, taking out her phone and showing the officer the video recording.

Qiao Xinzhen was completely caught off guard; she hadn’t expected Shen Wan to record anything. Of course, the recording wasn’t made by Shen Wan, but by 188.

188 thought: Aren’t I impressive? In situations like this, don’t I always come through? Now he finally understood why Shen Wan was so protective of Ji Meng.

The two officers and Ji Chensi watched the video, which didn’t include the part where Shen Wan pushed Qiao Xinzhen. It only showed Qiao Xinzhen’s earlier words calling Ji Meng ugly, and Ji Meng’s terrified, pale-faced reaction. The officers now understood that Ji Meng must have suffered some trauma.

However, since Qiao Xinzhen claimed to be Ji Meng’s mother, they were in a difficult position. More importantly, Ji Chensi was present. Everyone in the city knew this man, so they wanted to hear what he had to say.

“Uncle Ji, is she really Little Meng’s mother?” Shen Wan asked Ji Chensi.

Ji Chensi paused, then nodded. “Yes.”

“Then is she perhaps mentally unstable? I believe all mothers love their daughters and wouldn’t say such hurtful things. If she’s mentally ill, why hasn’t she been sent for treatment? Uncle Ji, is it because you’re too busy to pay attention to her? That won’t do. Since she’s Little Meng’s mother, she should be treated if she’s sick. I hope Little Meng can have a mentally sound, kind, and warm mother, not someone who calls her an ugly monster right away. I suspect Auntie might be seeing hallucinations or have face blindness to think Little Meng is ugly.”

“Uncle Ji, you should send Auntie for treatment. It won’t be good if her condition worsens.”

Ji Chensi had initially thought Shen Wan was here to cause trouble, given her seemingly foolish smile. But as he listened, he realized something was off. Especially when this little girl smiled at him while saying these things, he suddenly made a decision.

“Indeed, it was my oversight,” Ji Chensi said, his face breaking into a smile as he walked up to Shen Wan and patted her head. “Thank you for reminding me, Little Wan. I’ve been too busy and haven’t paid much attention to Xinzhen. I didn’t know she was ill. Now I should indeed take Xinzhen for treatment.”

He then bent down to speak to Ji Meng. “Little Meng, Daddy will take your mother for treatment. She won’t come to see you until she’s better. So, be good while your mother is away.”

How long this “illness” would last depended on his mood and how well Ji Meng recovered in the future. If Ji Meng could never return to a normal state, then Qiao Xinzhen would be in “treatment” for the rest of her life.

“Xinzhen, come with me. I’ve truly neglected you. It’s all my fault. I’ll take you to get better, so you can return to normal soon,” Ji Chensi said as he approached Qiao Xinzhen and placed his hand on her shoulder. His tone and smile sent chills down her spine. Instinctively, she wanted to run away, but then she heard Ji Chensi thanking the two officers, saying he would handle the matter himself and apologizing for the trouble.

“I won’t go!” Qiao Xinzhen shouted. “Ji Chensi, what are you doing? Get lost! What are you going to do to me? I won’t go!”

“Xinzhen, your condition is really serious. Thankfully, Little Wan reminded me. This time, I really must be firm and get you treated. I can’t let you go on like this; it will only get worse.”

Seeing Qiao Xinzhen’s hideous, frenzied state, the two officers confirmed that she must have a history of mental illness. Moreover, Ji Chensi appeared so gentle and didn’t use harsh words. After watching the video earlier, they all believed this woman was abnormal.

With the help of the bodyguards, Qiao Xinzhen was quickly dragged away. Ji Chensi’s lips curved into a meticulous smile as he watched Qiao Xinzhen being put into the car. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his well-defined hands. Recalling Ji Meng’s state, his face darkened.

“Spread the word that Qiao Xinzhen has a severe mental illness and is currently receiving treatment,” Ji Chensi said with a smile. “From now on, send the most beautiful flowers to the hospital every day. Let everyone understand that she’s someone I care about.”

Didn’t she want to be Mrs. Ji?

Well, Mrs. Ji’s residence would be his mental hospital. How fitting for her.

A big house, luxurious amenities, flowers—all hers, and she could stay there for life. Qiao Xinzhen should be satisfied now.

“I’ll visit her every weekend, bringing the most vibrant red roses.”

“Patients need extra care, you know. It helps with recovery.”

“Xinzhen will surely be very happy.”
