The Villain's Contract Lover - Ch 014

Title: The Villain's Contract Lover
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 14 - She is not the same Xu WanZhi as before anymore (2)

Xiao Yuan was a very efficient girl and had posted the pictures on WeChat shortly thereafter. 

Xu WanZhi has a lot of fans, but most of them anti-fans. They immediately went over to her WeChat to mock her after seeing that there were updates on her account. 

[The Scamming, Spamming, Stinky Us?]

[Scary Movie Masterpiece: The Head-Changing Monster Part V – Return of The New Head.]

[Spent your time yesterday posting pictures instead of scamming Jiang YueXian yesterday.]

[Posting fake pictures day in and day out. Exactly how shameless are you? Don’t you have any idea what you look like yourself?]

[The Queen of Negative Publicity had taken care of everything I will find humorous for the rest of my life. LOL]

Xu WanZhi would let marketing deal with all the negative comments. She quickly glanced at the comments and closed out of WeChat. What caught her attention more was the search term “Huanyu Went Bankrupt”.

Many articles were analyzing in detail the reason Huanyu ended up going bankrupt along with the future of other companies that worked on Machine Learning. Xu WanZhi didn’t know much about finance and couldn’t fully appreciate the articles. But, something that was pointed out in a few of these articles caught her attention:

Huanyu replaced by the Qin’s Corporation.

The Qin’s Corporation belonged to Qin Sheng, the original male lead. Their main businesses and direction of research were very similar to that of Huanyu’s, almost identical. So, one could say that Huanyu going bankrupt and being replaced by the Qin’s was not a coincidence. 

In the original novel, Mu ZhenYu had a betrothal with Liang ZhiQuan, the female lead, since he was a child. Unfortunately, Liang ZhiQuan met Qin Sheng, the male lead, in college and fell in love with him. Unfortunately, their relationship only lasted two months. Qin Shen left the country to pursue further education, and Liang ZhiQuan stayed within the country. 

Not too long later, the Liang’s went bankrupt. The joke of a betrothal between Liang ZhiQuan and Mu ZhenYu became the Liang’s only hope. Under the pressure from her entire family, Liang ZhiQuan went back to Mu ZhenYu and begged him to follow through with the betrothal and help out the Liang’s. But how could Mu ZhenYu not be upset after what she had done to him? Naturally, he gave her a piece of his mind before sending her on her way. 

Just when it looked like the Liang’s couldn’t go on any longer, right at that critical moment, Qin Shen, the male lead returned with all his glory. Like a hack in a video game, he went from a nobody to a rising star in the business world, a young domineering CEO.

Liang ZhiQuan had been on his mind the entire time, and he returned to the country mostly gunning at Mu ZhenYu. His goal was to avenge her. With the blessing of his male lead halo, the Qin’s chose the exact same development area as Huanyu and destroyed it  almost overnight. 

Now was probably the best time of Qin Shen’s life. 

As for Mu ZhenYu… he would be able to make it through, thought Xu WanZhi.

Mu ZhenYu, at the moment, was sitting in a building not too far away from his apartment, sipping on some expensive coffee. 

Bai FeiChen, the owner of the building, was a childhood friend of his. Sitting across from him and after spending some time looking over in the direction that he was looking at, Bai FeiChen turned his head and said to him, “Man, I can’t believe you really moved to such a dinky place. Is that really necessary to go all out in keeping up the front?”

Mu XiYuan replied nonchalantly, “You have to keep in mind that I’m the one who had done everything within my power to try to keep Huanyu alive and failed. It won’t be convincing if I didn’t sell my house and car.”

Bai FeiChen snickered, “You know what else is odd? Doesn’t that little lover of yours love money more than anything? Pretty sure she had been trying to climb into your brother’s bed in the last couple of days. How was she okay moving to such a dump with you? Unbelievable.”

Before he was done talking, Mu ZhenYu’s cellphone chimed.

He casually clicked into WeChat and saw Xu WanZhi’s newest update. His sight lingered on the words “The Blossoming Us.”

That’s interesting. “The Blossoming Us” was a remake of his grandmother’s favorite from a few years ago. As the peak of its popularity had come and gone, they contracted it to become a webTV and hoped it could pick up where it left off. 

That woman had certainly done her homework. She even learned so much about his grandmother. 

He scrolled down using his long and slender finger. Underneath the text, there was the sunny side profile of Xu WanZhi. 

Her eyes were lively, and her beauty could conquer everyone. 

An almost indiscernible smile crawled up onto Mu ZhenYu’s face before he answered Bai FeiChen’s question, “She is not the same Xu WanZhi as before anymore.”
