Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 5. A Romance? The Kidney-Stealing Kind (5)



“Wan Wan, let’s break up.”

What?

“Why?”

She couldn’t smile with joy; she had to keep her composure. Shen Wan clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to rejoice. To Huo Han, it appeared as if she was forcing a smile.

“I don’t like you. I never have.”

“Brother originally approached you to have you donate a kidney to me,” Huo Ting said, not wanting any connection to Shen Wan. Her brother belonged to her alone. “Now that we’ve found a suitable donor, we don’t need you anymore, and my brother doesn’t have to sacrifice so much by being with you reluctantly.”

Huo Han’s expression was cold. “You should go,” he said. Seeing Shen Wan motionless, he took out a checkbook, wrote an unknown number of zeros, and placed it in Shen Wan’s hand. “This is compensation for you. We have no connection from now on.”

Shen Wan glanced at the check. 1234567… Seven digits! How tempting. Could she keep it? Maybe while 188 was distracted, she could secretly pocket it?

[188, taking a break from his gossip-reading, noticed the situation and quickly said: “Wan Wan, this is your chance. Throw the check in his face to show your pure, unpretentious character that views money as worthless.”]

Ah… Three million. 188 didn’t understand her at all. She loved nothing more than this “worthless” money.

“Huo Han, so everything before was all a lie, wasn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Huo Han ignored the slight twinge in his heart and answered without hesitation. Ting Ting’s surgery was tomorrow; he couldn’t let Shen Wan affect that.

Shen Wan lowered her eyes, fingering the check. Seven digits… she was so reluctant to part with it. To Huo Han, her demeanor seemed to indicate sadness.

“Alright, let’s break up then,” Shen Wan said, lifting her head. “Huo Han, can you come closer? Will you grant me one last wish?”

Huo Han glanced at Huo Ting, who seemed unconcerned about this final parting as long as her brother belonged to her. He approached Shen Wan. “What do you want me to do? As long as it’s not too much and doesn’t harm Ting Ting, I can agree.”

“Can you crouch down a bit?” Shen Wan looked at Huo Han imploringly. “It’s tiring to crane my neck to talk to you.”

Huo Han complied, crouching down. As he waited for Shen Wan’s request, a sudden gust of wind hit his face. Before he could react, Shen Wan’s palm connected with his cheek twice in rapid succession. As his eyes widened in shock, she delivered two more slaps.

Shen Wan forcefully pressed the check against his head, crumpling it. She grabbed his hair, shaking it vigorously, and said through gritted teeth, “I loved you so much, and you dare to break up with me? Huo Han, I’m too angry. I can’t control myself.”

[The stunned 188: “Wan Wan… you… you…”]

“Hitting is affection, scolding is love. No beating, no true love.”

188: Is… is that so? Judging by Huo Han’s swollen, red face, it was clear how much force Shen Wan had used. Those slaps had truly resounded loudly.

“Shen Wan, why did you hit my brother?” Huo Ting screamed, covering her mouth before rushing to embrace Huo Han.

Shen Wan had already released Huo Han, who was now glaring at her terrifyingly. She took two steps back. “I just love him too much. He actually wants to break up with me for you. I’m so angry, I couldn’t help it. Hearing him say he wants to break up and then try to tarnish my love with money, I just wanted to hit him.” Seeing the two of them stunned, Shen Wan continued, “But after hitting Huo Han, I realized that striking him hurts my own heart.”

188: What nonsense!

“No matter-” Huo Ting began to say something but was interrupted.

“I understand now. He’d rather be hit than be with me. Clearly, he truly doesn’t love me. Fine, I’ll go.”

As Huo Han teetered between bewilderment and rage, Shen Wan turned and left, leaving behind her emaciated silhouette. Exiting the hospital room, she saw Yin Meichang waiting outside and ran to embrace her.

“What’s wrong?”

“Miss Yin, Huo Han broke up with me. I need comfort. Can I hug you?”

“Of course you can.”

You can hug me as long as you want, Yin Meichang thought as she gently patted Shen Wan’s back. Her mind replayed the glimpse she had caught of Shen Wan slapping Huo Han four times in the hospital room. Then she recalled Shen Wan leaving the room, running to hug her with a smile she hadn’t quite managed to suppress.

The first time might have been her imagination, but what about this time? She had always felt there was something odd about Shen Wan. Based on her various behaviors, Yin Meichang had a vague suspicion that Shen Wan didn’t like Huo Han and might even despise him. This thought inexplicably pleased her.

“Shen Wan, do you still like Huo Han?”

“Of course I do,” Shen Wan replied without hesitation. “I’m so angry. He actually doesn’t like me. I’m really upset.”

Yin Meichang raised an eyebrow. Upset? It looked more like she was happy. She probably regretted not slapping him harder and wanted to add a couple more. Yin Meichang’s lips curved into a smile, but it faded as she remembered Shen Wan’s illness. Whether Shen Wan liked Huo Han or not, her impending death was a reality.

“What’s so great about Huo Han anyway?” Yin Meichang said, no longer as angry when speaking of him. “Someone like that isn’t worth your affection.”

“But I just can’t help liking him.”

She truly liked beating him up.

“Alright, alright. As long as you like him,” Yin Meichang conceded. “Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”

“I don’t want to go anywhere. Let’s go home. I’m heartbroken.”

How could she not be heartbroken and pained after losing a seven-digit check?

Yin Meichang led Shen Wan home, feeling a tinge of regret that she had met Shen Wan when the latter’s life was nearing its end. Whatever oddities Shen Wan exhibited no longer mattered. Over the next few days, she observed carefully and confirmed that Shen Wan didn’t like Huo Han. This made her even less inclined to show any courtesy towards Huo Corporation.

During Huo Ting’s surgery period, Huo Han neglected company affairs. Yin Meichang seized the opportunity, snatching several important projects that Huo Corporation had nearly secured. In just half a month, she caused significant losses to Huo Corporation. By the time Huo Han came to his senses, it was too late. While Huo Ting was recovering, he had to return to the company, attempting to salvage the situation and recoup some of the losses.

As he was preparing to leave the hospital, the doctor who had examined Shen Wan hurriedly handed him her medical report.

“Dr. Xu, are you joking?” Huo Han held the report, unable to believe that Shen Wan had a terminal illness in its late stages, with little time left to live. He hadn’t forgotten the four slaps she had given him.

Dr. Xu repeatedly emphasized the severity of the situation, suggesting that if Huo Han didn’t believe it, he should take Shen Wan to another hospital for examination. The results wouldn’t be any better than this report, which was from over a month ago.

Huo Han left the hospital in a daze. He read the report several times, recalling Dr. Xu’s words. With trembling hands, he took out his phone to call Shen Wan. The thought of her impending death made him feel as if something was about to burst from his chest. He suddenly wanted to see her immediately. As for those four slaps, he dismissed them as a result of her illness combined with his sudden breakup proposal. He rationalized that she must have been in great pain when she hit him.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”

Huo Han tried several times but couldn’t get through. He decided to go to the Shen family home to inquire. The first thing Shen Wan’s mother asked upon seeing him was how Shen Wan was doing abroad. This reminded him that to avoid suspicion, he had told Shen Wan’s only relative that she was going overseas for further studies. So where had Shen Wan been all this time?

Huo Han began searching for Shen Wan everywhere, neglecting both his company and Huo Ting.

“How is it? Still can’t eat?”

Seeing Shen Wan trying but failing to eat, Yin Meichang felt a pang in her heart. “Is there anything you want?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Yin. It’ll get better soon,” Shen Wan said with a smile. The cancer cells were at their peak activity recently, causing some discomfort. She’d just consider it a diet. Once the cancer cells gradually dispersed, she could eat whatever she wanted.

Yin Meichang couldn’t help but stroke Shen Wan’s face, her eyes filled with tenderness. Her voice carried concern and a hint of affection as she said, “In your final days, don’t be formal with me. Whatever you want to do, I can make it happen for you.”

“Why, Miss Yin?”

Yin Meichang’s beautiful eyes gazed directly at Shen Wan before she smiled and said, “I don’t know.”

“Miss Yin, you’re lying.” Shen Wan leaned in closer and asked softly, “Miss Yin, didn’t you say you’d fulfill any request? Then can you tell me why you’re being so kind to me?”

Yin Meichang’s eyes held a touch of helplessness as she met Shen Wan’s gaze and replied, “If I say I like you, would you believe me?”

“Of course I would.” Shen Wan’s lips curled into a smile. “Miss Yin, so you’re doing all this because you like me? But we haven’t known each other for long. Why would you like me?”

“Liking someone doesn’t need a reason. Why ask so many whys?” Yin Meichang glanced at Shen Wan’s curious expression and couldn’t help but smile. “What about you? You’re willing to sacrifice your life for Huo Han out of love. Why is that?”

Of course, it was because of the plot. Wasn’t she trying hard to change the storyline of this tragic novel?

Shen Wan didn’t believe that the female lead falling in love with the male lead would satisfy readers. She had read this novel carefully. Readers weren’t fools who would blindly accept whatever was written. If the female lead ended up with such a twisted male lead, it would be like force-feeding readers garbage. They would leave negative reviews and blacklist the author.

She had never intended to have a sweet relationship with the male lead. Instead, she planned to make him suffer, believing that would please the readers. She thought such an ending would be satisfying. The mission was to turn it into a sweet story, but this kind of forced sweetness would be unacceptable to her as a reader. It would be better to make the male lead suffer. If the readers were satisfied and the ratings improved, the mission would be considered complete. Wasn’t the point of this mission to satisfy readers and dispel their resentment? The ratings were the key to determining the high bonus, after all.

She hadn’t expected to meet someone who interested her so much, leading her to make some secret modifications. If she was going to die anyway, she might as well see how the readers would react and rate it at the end. As long as she wasn’t forcibly extracted from this small world, she could do as she pleased if she was careful.

“As Miss Yin said, liking someone is just liking someone. There’s no need for so many whys.”

Yin Meichang raised an eyebrow. “Huo Han is searching everywhere for you. Do you want to see him?”

Shen Wan thought to herself, isn’t Miss Yin putting her in a difficult position?

“Even if you wanted to see him, I wouldn’t allow it.” Yin Meichang smiled as she stroked Shen Wan’s head, whispering in her ear, “Shen Wan, now that you know my secret, that I like you, I’ll be the only one by your side for the rest of your life. You can forget about seeing Huo Han ever again.”

Miss Yin, I think I like you even more now. What should I do?

“Miss Yin, you may have my body, but you’ll never have my heart.”

“I never intended to win your heart. Having your body is enough for me.” Yin Meichang pinched Shen Wan’s cheek, smiling as she stood up. “Huo Han has made a mess of Huo Corporation because of you. The shareholders are planning to remove him from his position. Shen Wan, you’d better behave. If you dare to run away, I’ll kick him while he’s down and make sure he never recovers.”

“Miss Yin, I’ll agree to anything you say. Can you please show some mercy to Huo Han? How about that?”

“I’ll consider it.” Yin Meichang picked up her bag and walked towards the door. As she was closing it, she caught a glimpse of Shen Wan curled up on the sofa, smiling. Her lips curved upward as she said softly, “Consider slowly destroying him. You’ll be satisfied with that, won’t you, Wan Wan?”
