Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 125. Becoming a Celebrity? The Fought-Over-by-Big-Shots Kind (1)



“Wan Wan, I’ve opened a room for you. Stay here tonight, okay? It’s already eleven o’clock. You can’t possibly take a taxi home alone, can you? It’s too dangerous for a girl at this hour, and in your condition, you can’t even walk by yourself, right?”

Mu Linshi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the woman lying there, drunk and barely conscious. Seeing no reaction to her long speech, a hint of smugness played across her lips.

She tentatively patted Shen Wan’s cheek lightly. As she touched the soft skin, a flicker of jealousy arose in her heart. Her gaze gradually cooled, though her voice remained as pleasant as before. “Wan Wan, shall I go then?”

Seeing Shen Wan still unresponsive, Mu Linshi’s smile grew more brazen, her eyes gleaming with a sense of triumph. “Well, sleep tight. Tonight will surely be unforgettable for you.”

Mu Linshi turned and left, not fully closing the door, just leaving it slightly ajar.

“188, get me one of my sobering pills,” Shen Wan murmured, flexing her slightly limp fingers. “And while you’re at it, one of those energy pills too, like before.”

[188: “Wan Wan, you’re cheating again.”]

“What do you mean ‘cheating again’? I bought these with my own money. Did my money fall from the sky? 188, have you forgotten your host now that you’ve got a girlfriend? It hasn’t been that long, and you’re already complaining? Are your wings getting stiff? I remember there’s a limited edition skin coming out next month…”

[188 quickly tried to appease her: “Wan Wan, the sobering pill and energy pill are ready. Take them while they’re fresh.”]

After taking the sobering pill, Shen Wan’s drunkenness vanished instantly. She then swallowed the energy pill and sat cross-legged on the bed, picking up the nearby water glass. She took a sip but didn’t put it back, instead toying with the rather nice-looking glass.

“This time, my character is a newly debuted starlet, with a rocky career path and equally turbulent love life,” Shen Wan mused, playing with the glass in one hand while propping her chin with the other, her eyes sparkling with a peculiar light. “It’s the kind of role fought over by various big shots. To be honest, I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”

[188 asked curiously: “Your outer body looks quite perfect. Haven’t people pursued you, fought over you?”] Although their living space was likely an advanced civilization in the universe, certain human laws remained unchanged. For instance, attractive people naturally had many suitors, and if they caught the eye of wealthy or powerful individuals, being fought over was perfectly normal.

“No, not at all.”

[188 felt perplexed. How could there be none? “Why not? Is their aesthetic different, or are you not beautiful enough, Wan Wan?”]

“You dare say I’m not beautiful enough?”

[188: “Are you claiming to be the most beautiful in the universe? Don’t boast. There’s always someone better out there.”]

“188, ever since you got a partner, you’ve become increasingly rude. How come your girlfriend hasn’t beaten you to death for talking like this?”

[188: “Wan Wan, you’re the best. Can you please tell me why you weren’t fought over before and didn’t have various suitors?”]

“Fine, seeing as you’re being obedient, I’ll grudgingly explain,” Shen Wan cleared her throat and said seriously, “It all started when I met that sweet-talking old woman at just ten years old. If I hadn’t encountered her at such a young age, given my outer appearance, well… Even if I’m not the most beautiful in the universe, I’d surely rank second. Forget being frantically fought over, suitors would definitely come pursuing me in spaceships bearing flowers.”

188: “……” Is she daydreaming?

[188 suddenly remembered something and timidly asked, “So, did you two get together back then?”]

“No, if we had, why would I be here? Besides, I was only ten. What could I have understood?”

[188: “So why did you come here?”]

“Are you a spy from the other side?”

[188 hurriedly denied it, “No, I’m not. I’m just curious and asking. Wan Wan, don’t doubt me. We’re in the same boat.”]

Just as they were about to continue, there was a sudden noise at the door. Then the door was pushed open, and a somewhat drunk figure stumbled into the room. He quickly approached Shen Wan’s bed and fell towards it. Shen Wan quickly dodged, but his hand still brushed her shoulder.

“A woman?”

The man’s magnetic voice, tinged with drunkenness, sounded. Then he chuckled coldly, “Woman, are you so eager to get into my bed? I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself tonight.” The man then rolled over, intending to do something, expecting a wonderful night. However, what greeted him was Shen Wan’s raised leg and a swift kick!

Shen Wan put considerable force into this kick, sending the half-drunk man flying to the doorway, where he crashed into the wall with a thud before falling to the ground. Shen Wan didn’t know if he was in pain, but she certainly felt satisfied with her kick.

Of course, she knew who had accidentally stumbled into the room. It was one of the big shots fighting over her character, the playboy CEO Jing Ming. He generally accepted all women, but since getting involved with her character, he had become addicted and desired only her.

Well, it was indeed quite cliché. Her money hadn’t been wasted.

The kick that sent Jing Ming flying into the wall sobered him up a bit. Rubbing his bruised waist, he looked up towards the bed. By then, Shen Wan had turned on the lights. He caught sight of a young girl sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking about twenty years old, with fair cheeks slightly flushed, resembling a ripe peach, very pleasing to the eye and tempting to taste.

Shen Wan got off the bed, poured some water into a glass, and walked over to Jing Ming. “Still not sober?” she asked, before promptly splashing the water in his face. Jing Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief. This woman was incredibly bold, daring to throw water in his face. In all his years, Jing Ming had never been treated like this.

He felt anger, but also a touch of novelty.

Could it be that this woman was trying to get his attention in this way? Jing Ming pondered.

But when he saw Shen Wan’s slender white fingers gripping the glass, which suddenly shattered into pieces, he dismissed that thought.

Looking at the shards of glass on the floor, his body instinctively shuddered. Glancing at Shen Wan’s cute and pretty face, he had no further thoughts. He knew he couldn’t crush a hotel glass into such tiny pieces with his bare hands.

“Are you sozer now?” Shen Wan crouched down, smiling sweetly.

Jing Ming, being a company CEO after all, furrowed his brow and asked, “Why are you in my room?”

“Are you sure this is your room?” Shen Wan pointed towards the door, gesturing for him to look up. Jing Ming raised his head and indeed found that this wasn’t his room. His room should be on the floor above. Faced with such an embarrassing situation, he didn’t know how to react. If it had been an ordinary woman, she might have been eager even if he had slept with her. But this woman who could crush a water glass with her bare hands… He swallowed hard. Having entered the wrong room, it was best to be polite.

“I apologize.”

“Looks like you’re sober now, so get out!”

Jing Ming was seething inside and was about to say something when Shen Wan, losing patience, grabbed him by the collar and effortlessly lifted the 150-pound man, walking towards the door. Jing Ming nearly cried out and struggled a bit, but Shen Wan simply grabbed his neck and threatened, “Which do you think is harder, your neck or the glass?”

This level of humiliation was something Jing Ming had never experienced in his thirty years of life. It was too much! He stopped protesting, thinking that where there’s life, there’s hope. Someday, he would uncover her identity and get his revenge. Just wait and see, woman.

As Shen Wan was carrying him out of the room, the door opposite opened, and a beautiful woman stepped out, meeting Shen Wan’s gaze. The woman’s eyes lingered on Shen Wan’s face for just a moment before shifting to Jing Ming in Shen Wan’s grasp – a grown man in a crumpled suit being carried out by a petite woman. The scene was truly amusing.

So, this beautiful woman couldn’t help but laugh.

Just then, she suddenly remembered where she had seen Shen Wan before. She looked more closely and realized who it was. Wasn’t this the young actress who had played her character’s personal maid in her last drama?

Her beautiful eyes blinked, not understanding why Shen Wan would be carrying a man out of a room so late at night.

Shen Wan’s mouth twitched. What a coincidence.

She cleared her throat, “Actress Fu, so you’re staying opposite my room?”

Fu Qingman smiled, “It is quite a coincidence, Miss Shen. What are you doing?”

“I was sleeping soundly when a drunk suddenly barged in. Fortunately, I still remember some self-defense moves I learned before. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened. This drunk tried to take advantage of me as soon as he came in, but I subdued him instantly.” As she spoke, Shen Wan seemed to be demonstrating her skills, swinging Jing Ming back and forth as if he were a handbag, looking completely at ease. Her story seemed very credible.

Even if Shen Wan hadn’t explained, Fu Qingman would have believed her. After all, it was rare for a woman, especially one so petite and seemingly frail, to casually carry a 150-pound man while standing at the room door, chatting with her nonchalantly, not even breaking a sweat or needing to switch hands, as if she were holding a plastic mannequin.

Jing Ming was furious!!

He gritted his teeth, wanting to raise his head, but Shen Wan was gripping his neck directly. The slightest movement caused intense pain, preventing him from thrashing about like an octopus. Moreover, Fu Qingman was opposite them, and she knew him. Luckily, his head was hanging down; otherwise, it would have been truly embarrassing. Wait a minute, was this woman’s surname Shen? Good, he had learned another piece of information.

“Didn’t you lock your door when you went to sleep? How could someone just walk in?” Perhaps because Shen Wan’s entrance was so unusual, Fu Qingman became more interested and curious about her.

Shen Wan freed one hand to rub her head, “Tonight, I was drinking with the crew and investors. I couldn’t hold my liquor and got drunk. My good friend Mu Linshi opened a room for me. Maybe she didn’t close the door properly when she left. She’s always been a bit careless like that.”

188: Wan Wan’s skill at badmouthing others is impressive. Wonder who she learned it from. This Fu Qingman must be the “old woman” she mentioned. With such a beautiful “old woman,” she must be secretly delighted. Otherwise, why would she willingly spend so much money and put on this act every day?

Fu Qingman naturally understood the implication. She glanced briefly at Jing Ming, “Should we send this person to the police station?”

Jing Ming: “……”

“He’s just a drunk. There’s no use sending him to the police. Throwing him out of the hotel is enough,” Shen Wan said, looking down the long corridor. “Actress Fu, could I ask for your help? Could you accompany me to throw him out? I’m a bit scared. It’s almost midnight now.”

Fu Qingman stared at Shen Wan. With such strength, what was she afraid of? Ghosts would probably fear her. Surprisingly, though, she didn’t refuse.

The two walked side by side down the stairs. Jing Ming, afraid of being seen and embarrassed, simply kept his head down without a sound. Outside the hotel, Shen Wan really did casually throw him out, causing him to land painfully on his backside.

As the two women turned to re-enter the hotel, Fu Qingman was about to say something to Shen Wan when she suddenly noticed that Shen Wan’s cheeks were flushed, and her eyes weren’t as clear as before. She instinctively grabbed Shen Wan’s arm and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Maybe the alcohol’s delayed effect is kicking in. My head feels a bit dizzy,” Shen Wan said, then leaned against Fu Qingman’s arm. “Actress Fu, could you please help me back up?”

Fu Qingman didn’t suspect anything because Shen Wan truly looked drunk.

When they reached Shen Wan’s room door, Fu Qingman suddenly remembered what Shen Wan had said earlier – that Mu Linshi had opened this room for her. She wondered if that woman had some ulterior motive. So she turned around and took Shen Wan into her own room instead.

Shen Wan: She gets it.

188: Hmph, this woman is as bad as ever. She complains about the other being an “old woman,” but keeps trying to get close to her. What’s that about?
