Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Such an explosive start, Brother 8. I… I can’t handle this,” Shen Wan stood at the villa’s bedroom door, staring unblinkingly through the half-open door at the scene unfolding inside.

“Should I shout to stop them, or politely knock to remind them to close the door?”

[188: “Wan Wan, I think you should burst in and say ‘What are you doing?’ Then squeeze out a few tears and look at them with a heartbroken, desperate gaze. That would truly express your disappointment and heartbreak.”]

Shen Wan was still pondering how to interrupt the couple inside. Was it appropriate to disturb them at this moment?

Perhaps she had stood at the door for too long, her gaze too focused, causing the couple inside to sense something amiss. They stiffened and looked towards the door, seeing Shen Wan standing there dumbfounded.

“Zhan, haven’t you told her yet?” The woman with Li Zhan didn’t scream at Shen Wan’s appearance. Instead, she calmly leaned against Li Zhan’s chest, eyeing Shen Wan strangely. “Zhan, your taste is really poor. How does she resemble me at all? You’re not even careful in finding a substitute.”

“Of course she can’t compare to Xuan Xuan.” Li Zhan grabbed a nearby blanket, wrapped Xia Xuan in it, and quickly put on his pajamas before approaching Shen Wan.

[188 hurriedly reminded: “Wan Wan, that guy’s coming over. Stop spacing out.”]

Shen Wan had indeed been lost in thought, wondering how to alert the couple to her presence. But to Li Zhan, her stunned expression seemed to indicate she had discovered the truth and couldn’t accept it.

“You can leave now,” Li Zhan said casually, leaning against the doorframe. “As you’ve seen, the person I truly love is Xuan Xuan, not you.”

Shen Wan stared at Li Zhan wide-eyed. “So what am I?”

“Just a substitute,” Li Zhan chuckled. “You didn’t actually think I’d like you, did you?”

“How could Zhan possibly like you? Think about it, how long have you been here? Have you ever truly been with Zhan? Zhan has always loved only me. And you’re just my substitute, not even a convincing one at that. You should be grateful. You’ve wasted several months, but Zhan won’t treat you unfairly.”

Xia Xuan didn’t mind that after their breakup when she went abroad, Li Zhan immediately found a substitute.

It had been five months, and this substitute hadn’t even truly been with Zhan. She heard the girl stayed in the villa like a pitiful creature. If it weren’t for Zhan’s help, this Shen Wan would have long been sold off by her parents to marry some old, ugly, fat pig. Now she didn’t have to marry those hideous, disgusting men and could even get compensation. She was already very lucky.

Shen Wan looked at the two expectantly. Xia Xuan leaned lazily against the pillow, while Li Zhan lit a cigarette and sat down to smoke.

“Leave obediently. There’s nothing between us. I’ll compensate you.”

Li Zhan knew that in just five short months, this frail woman had probably fallen in love with him. But in his heart, there was only Xia Xuan. The reason he spent hundreds of thousands to rescue her from those people a few months ago was because her helpless gaze reminded him of how Xia Xuan was bullied by her stepmother when they were young.

After bringing her back, he just left her in the villa. Admittedly, Shen Wan was indeed a very gentle woman. Over the past five months, she had managed his life very well. Her cooking suited his taste perfectly. With her presence, his stomach problems rarely flared up. Of course, this woman was also quite nagging, often stopping him from smoking and drinking.

But none of this was what he needed. His Xuan Xuan had returned, and Shen Wan could leave this villa. His biggest regret was telling her to be his girlfriend. This would make Xuan Xuan misunderstand, and breaking ties would be troublesome. He hoped she would be sensible enough to take the money and leave. As long as it didn’t exceed his bottom line, any amount would do. Fortunately, Xuan Xuan understood that he only loved her, and his relationship with Shen Wan had always been purely platonic.

As for her taking it seriously, he believed that giving her some money as compensation would make her happy. After all, her parents were leeches. With a large sum of money, she could get away from those people and live well for the rest of her life. Li Zhan thought this plan was perfect. With a financial transaction, Xuan Xuan would be even less likely to mind this matter.

Of course, he anticipated some minor troubles, given what he knew of this woman’s stubborn personality. If he directly offered her money, she might throw it in his face. If there was red wine nearby, she would undoubtedly pour it all over him without hesitation. He wouldn’t give her the chance. He had already planned the compensation. His aunt wasn’t busy recently, so he’d ask her to handle this tomorrow. Women understand women best.

Li Zhan had thought all this in an instant, expecting Shen Wan to cry and wail, saying she didn’t care about money and only loved him. He was completely unprepared for Shen Wan’s next words.

Shen Wan wiped her eyes, dabbing at a place where there were no tears, and looked up pitifully. “Do you really not like me?”

“Really,” Li Zhan frowned. Although Shen Wan’s lines seemed a bit off to him, he had to prove his innocence in front of Xuan Xuan, so he answered firmly.

Shen Wan then looked at Xia Xuan. “Are you two truly in love?”

“Of course. Zhan and I have known each other since childhood. It was just a small misunderstanding that made me leave the country in anger. Later, I realized that after all we’ve been through, how could we break up so easily? So I came back, only to find it was all a misunderstanding. Our relationship of over a decade, how could you compare with your mere five months? Besides, Zhan has made it clear he has no feelings for you.”

Xia Xuan didn’t consider Shen Wan a rival at all, mostly due to Li Zhan’s attitude. “If you’re smart, you’ll accept Zhan’s compensation and leave. I’ve heard about your family situation. You seem to need money.”

“Mm, I think you’re right,” Shen Wan nodded vigorously. “Since you love each other so much, I shouldn’t continue to cling on, even though I’m heartbroken.” She glanced at Li Zhan. “But clinging to someone who doesn’t like me at all is meaningless.”

Shen Wan’s words surprised both of them. They had thought Shen Wan was deeply in love with Li Zhan. Given her behavior over the past few months, they hadn’t expected her to agree to leave Li Zhan so easily. This left them at a loss.

“You’re right. How can a mere five months compare to over a decade?” Shen Wan sighed. “So I can only painfully let go.”

Li Zhan had stopped smoking, looking at Shen Wan strangely. This wasn’t how he had imagined it.

Xia Xuan’s brow furrowed. This wasn’t what she had expected either.

“So, how much compensation do you plan to give me? I’ve devoted myself wholeheartedly for five months taking care of you,” Shen Wan said seriously. “And when I leave this villa, I’ll have to face troubles from my family. Li Zhan, considering how hard I’ve worked these five months, your compensation should ensure I never have to worry for the rest of my life.”

The cigarette in Li Zhan’s hand had been extinguished. If Xia Xuan weren’t here, he would have wanted to knock Shen Wan on the head to see if she had malfunctioned.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhan said, “It’s very late today. Tomorrow I’ll have someone come to discuss this with you. You can use tonight to think about what you want.”

Li Zhan believed he could afford to compensate Shen Wan. Although her expression was very strange, he thought it would be best to pay her off cleanly, given how straightforward she was being. If she continued to cling on, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

So, he let out a sigh of relief. A woman who could be dismissed with money was no different from those outside. The slight special feeling he had harbored in his heart had almost completely dissipated.

“Alright, your words are quite credible. I believe you won’t deceive me. Then… I’ll stay at your place tonight. Don’t mind me if you want to do anything.” Shen Wan stepped back. “I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.” With that, she turned to leave.

“Wait,” Li Zhan called out to Shen Wan, feeling her behavior was strange.

Shen Wan turned back. “What? You’re not going back on your word, are you? If you don’t compensate me, I won’t leave here even if I die. Everyone knows what will happen to me if I go out. My parents won’t let me off easily. They’ll skin me alive.”

Li Zhan knew about this too. He said, “I promised to compensate you. I won’t go back on my word.” He didn’t lack money, and as long as Shen Wan didn’t cause trouble, he wouldn’t treat her unfairly. “Alright, you can go now.”

Originally, he had wanted to ask why Shen Wan agreed so easily. But then he thought it didn’t really matter. Since she agreed, she was no different from those women outside. Xuan Xuan was still here, and he didn’t want her to misunderstand.

Shen Wan quickly returned to her room, closed the door, and happily took out a small notebook to start calculating.

This was how the tortuous love story between Li Zhan and the female lead began. At that time, the female lead didn’t ask for anything and just left. Of course, she later experienced various hardships, including torment from her family. There were always many coincidences between the male and female leads, with Li Zhan appearing at her lowest moments. Naturally, they became entangled, Li Zhan developed feelings, Xia Xuan interfered, leading to the final dark turn.

In short, the female lead in this angst novel suffered the most, enduring various torments, both physical and mental, before finally ending up with Li Zhan.

To be fair, this Li Zhan was indeed a bit of a scumbag, due to his personality, but he was quite generous in giving money to women. Before her, he had also found substitutes, but those substitutes wanted to climb up, so he threw them out without giving a penny.

Now she wouldn’t break ties with Li Zhan. They could part ways peacefully, and she could get a compensation fee. This way, she wouldn’t have to rush around and could slowly sit down to find her wife.

The observing 188 discovered that Shen Wan kept writing in her little notebook. When he saw clearly, he felt a bit dizzy. It turned out she was calculating how much money she would need to live comfortably for the rest of her life. When he saw the last item labeled “money for finding a partner,” he was truly speechless. His host was becoming more and more shameless.

“What do you know? This way I can avoid a tragedy for three people. We three were actually all responsible for our own misfortunes, which is why we ended up so miserable. Now if I take the money and leave, I avoid the biggest trouble, and everyone can relax.”

Shen Wan spent the whole night happily calculating.

In the morning, she opened the door with dark circles under her eyes.

When Li Zhan and Xia Xuan passed by and saw her state, they understood. So Shen Wan wasn’t indifferent, but just pretending to be.

Xia Xuan naturally disliked Shen Wan, but since she was sensible enough to leave, she couldn’t be bothered to cause trouble. Those days abroad had taught her to appreciate Li Zhan’s goodness. She would never let go in this lifetime. No one should try to snatch her man, or she wouldn’t let them off.

“My aunt will come over in a while. You can directly discuss your conditions with her. As long as it’s about money and not too excessive, I’ll agree.”

“Okay.”

After they left, Shen Wan made herself breakfast and sat on the sofa watching TV, waiting for them to arrive. She knew a bit about Li Zhan asking his aunt to come, probably fearing she might change her mind and throw the check in his face. He was overthinking it. She wouldn’t dream of throwing away a check with so much money.

Soon, the doorbell rang.

She hurried to open the door and found an elegant, beautiful woman standing before her.

“Who… are you looking for?”

“You must be Shen Wan? I’m Li Zhan’s aunt, Dong Zheng.” In fact, Dong Zheng was quite exasperated that Li Zhan had asked her to help with this matter. This kid couldn’t clean up his own mess and actually asked his aunt for help.

If it weren’t for his mother’s untimely death in an accident, leaving him looking so pitiful, she wouldn’t want to manage this brat who was only a few years younger than her.

“Let’s go inside and talk. That kid Li Zhan said you can ask for any compensation you want. As long as it’s not excessive, we’ll agree. But at the same time, you must promise never to cling to him in the future.”

“Please come in. I’ve written down everything I want in this notebook. Take a look.”

Dong Zheng glanced at Shen Wan’s dark circles and red eyes. This young girl must have been heartbroken all night. It was good for her to leave Li Zhan. That boy never learned how to truly like someone. An ordinary girl like her shouldn’t get entangled with him. As for that Xia Xuan, let her cling on as she wished. If she could make Li Zhan devoted for life, that would be her capability.

Dong Zheng felt some pity for this young girl, but when she opened the little notebook, all those emotions dissipated.

Shen Wan sat obediently on the sofa, holding a cup of water. “I stayed up all night calculating. It was quite exhausting.”

Dong Zheng: “……”
