Wen Shuang woke up to find himself transmigrated into a pure love novel as cannon fodder, a two-faced, materialistic, and vain character who extensively casts nets and ruthlessly reels in fish.
...Chapter 109: Why be a villain if you live honestly
Half an hour later, Tang Weisheng, wearing a woolen sweater and holding a cup of hot black tea, lowered his head and took a sip as if resigned to his fate. He felt that after this experience, no matter what he encountered in the future, it would not be a big deal. After all, this was no different from being punished by God.
Everyone around greeted Wen Shuang gently and politely, which made the uneasiness and temptation in his heart disappear. He was obsessed... He always felt that when his memory came back, the bad experiences would come back with it, but the facts proved that they were all in the past.
"What are you thinking about?" Xuanzhe brought a plate of goat milk cake. It had no fishy smell and was soft and fluffy, which was very delicious.
Wen Shuang grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling, "Nothing, are you done?"
"Well, just to meet a few old acquaintances." Xuanzhe pulled him to sit down, turned his head and saw Tang Weisheng, who had a very low sense of presence and wanted to bury himself in the ground. Seeing that his cup of hot black tea was empty, he asked, "Do you want more?"
Tang Weisheng said in a low and compromising tone: "Can't you two just pretend you didn't see me?"
Xuanzhe: "You are such a grown-up, am I blind?"
Tang Weisheng felt that his brother had been acting quite abnormal recently. He didn't know what had irritated him, but he always looked nervous.
The system stood on Wen Shuang's shoulder and ate goat milk cake with him. It almost choked when it looked up inadvertently. It didn't think much and blurted out: "Fuck, Villain Number Two."
This voice attracted Wen Shuang and Xuan Zhe to look over.
I saw a man and a woman coming in from the main door. The man was tall and handsome, with a faint smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which made people very fond of him. His temperament was clear and reserved, worthy of the saying "a gentleman is like jade". The woman next to him was naturally no stranger, Zhou Jinhui.
Zhou Jinhui's behavior is disorganized, and sometimes she displays subtle abnormalities that are visible to the naked eye.
Wen Shuang asked the system, "The second villain you mentioned is that man?" He recovered his memories of his previous life, which were all his memories before his death. After his death, he only saw the scene of Xuan Zhe and Tang Weisheng dying together in his dreams, and he did not know all the details during the period.
Xuanzhe knew about Yu Ze, the little-known youngest son of the Yu family. He had two older brothers. The eldest son was smart since childhood and was loved by his parents. The second son was sweet-mouthed, but Yu Ze didn't seem to be competitive. Naturally, his parents cared less about him and thought that the eldest son of the Yu family was a favored child. But Xuanzhe knew very well that the other two sons of the Yu family combined were no match for Yu Ze. This man had learned how to restrain his temperament since childhood without any guidance. He never let others know what he liked or disliked. He was particularly indifferent to family affection and had a personality with some dangerous tendencies. He liked to watch others kill each other the most.
The above is the conclusion Xuanzhe came to based on his memories of his previous life. The Yu family has always been one of the less outstanding families among the famous ones, but they have a strong foundation and extensive network of contacts. Any class needs a good guy like them.
"I heard the Yu family and the Zhou family are getting married." Tan Li happened to come over and noticed the gazes of Wen Shuang and the others. He said, "Xuan Zhe rejected their daughter outright. Zhou Jinhui is not young anymore. She needs to find someone of equal status."
Xuanzhe didn't care about it at all, and avoided Zhou Jinhui as soon as she looked over here.
"Do you remember what I told you before you left?" Yu Ze nodded slightly to the acquaintance, his lips moving slightly, and spoke lightly, but it made Zhou Jinhui's face tense, as if she was very scared.
"You are my fiancée now. I don't care who you have in your heart, but please don't embarrass me in front of so many people, okay?" Yu Ze asked.
Zhou Jinhui nodded hurriedly: "Okay."
Xuanzhe rarely deals with Yuze. Although the two families have business dealings, Yuze has appeared very rarely before, as if the plot was deliberately suppressing him before this point.
"In the previous life, Yu Ze and Tang Weisheng teamed up to give the protagonists a hard time." The system couldn't help but sigh that its database was the most comprehensive.
Wen Shuang shook her head slightly. Tang Weisheng alone was already invincible. It seemed that Yu Ze was not a good person either. If it weren't for Zheng Yuanfei and Lu Li having the aura of the protagonist, who knows how many times he would have died at the hands of these two people.
"System, tell me all the information you know about Yu Ze." Wen Shuang said.
The system immediately revealed the secrets: "Yu Ze, male, 27 years old..."
After a while, Wen Shuang only grasped a few useful pieces of information: First, this person is somewhat psychologically twisted and lacks sympathy; second, he likes to be alone and his favorite person is himself; third, he likes lard noodles...
Damn! Wen Shuang is convinced. This lard noodles is really a downgrade, isn't it? It's just like Tang Weisheng's cool debut back then, but ended up wearing SpongeBob SquarePants' underwear.
Wen Shuang met Yu Ze's smiling eyes and couldn't help but look away, unable to bear to look directly at him...
Yu Ze: “”
Xuanzhe was the host today, so Yuze naturally had to greet him. Both of them were powerful characters who could suppress their thoughts to an unfathomable degree. All they said to each other were polite words that were meaningless. When Xuanzhe was called away by an elder, Yuze turned his eyes and looked at Tang Weisheng.
Just as the system said, the development of this world follows certain rules, and the alliance between the two villains seems to be within the rules, but the plot has changed drastically. Tang Weisheng is now so happy that he has gone crazy to become a villain.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Zhou Jinhui whispered.
Yu Ze looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then said calmly, "Go ahead. I hope you can come back within ten minutes."
Zhou Jinhui nodded: "No problem."
Just after talking to someone, Xuanzhe's phone buzzed. He opened it and saw it was an unfamiliar number: "Xuanzhe, this is Jinhui. I'm in the lounge on the first floor. Can you come over? I can't find anyone. My parents don't believe me. Yuze is a monster! Can you help me?"
Xuanzhe quickly blocked the number after taking a quick glance and continued talking to his acquaintance.
He's not doing charity.
Here, Yu Ze walked towards Tang Weisheng as if he was naturally attracted to him. When he got closer, he saw that the young man was wearing a dark gray wool sweater with a SpongeBob SquarePants embroidered on the chest. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Tang Weisheng was so perceptive that he noticed Yu Ze's gaze and realized that he seemed to have some opinions about his SpongeBob. His face suddenly turned cold and he said unceremoniously, "Something's up?"
Yu Ze adjusted himself, a glass of champagne in hand, his demeanor radiating a sense of composure. He leaned against a nearby table, gazing out at the bustling atmosphere of the conference hall, and softly said, "Mr. Tang may not recognize me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Ze, the third son of the Yu family."
Tang Weisheng: “And then?”
Yu Ze's smile deepened, and he said with a bit of planning: "Mr. Tang, your life in the Xuan family is not easy."
It is no exaggeration to say that if it were in the past, when Wen Shuang had not yet appeared, Tang Weisheng would have been able to smell the scent of his own kind as soon as he heard Yu Ze's words, and he would have understood the deeper meaning behind them - a call for alliance. But things are different now. SpongeBob has Patrick and a "sister-in-law who is like a mother", so he felt that Yu Ze was here to provoke him.
Besides, isn't it difficult to live? Tang Weisheng thinks it's pretty good. Some time ago, Xuanzhe told him explicitly and implicitly that he could change his surname, but Tang Weisheng himself was unwilling to do so. He didn't take this seriously.
Wen Shuang had been observing secretly. When she saw the time was right, she stepped forward and stuffed the remaining goat milk cake into Tang Weisheng's hands: "Eat some."
"I'm not hungry." Tang Weisheng said this, but picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, then frowned: "It's so sweet."
"Yes, why do you like sweets?" Wen Shuang successfully disrupted Yu Ze's rhythm. As if she didn't see him, she started talking to Tang Weisheng about dinner: "I'm hungry. I plan to go to the kitchen to make something to eat. It's so noisy here. Do you want to join us?"
Tang Weisheng glared at him: "I can refuse." Once he refused Wen Shuang, he would use that kind of "loving" look, which was a direct killer move.
Wen Shuang: "You can't refuse, of course. Let's go, I'll make you some lard noodles."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Shuang's eyes lit up when she saw Yu Ze.
Wen Shuang: “…” The interests and hobbies of these big guys are indeed incomprehensible to us mortals. They are like some kind of magical switch, so powerful that it can turn a bloodthirsty beast into a kitten.
Wen Shuang's acting skills were superb. She seemed to have just noticed Yu Ze. She first apologized for ignoring him for so long, and then politely invited him: "Mr. Yu Ze, right? Would you like to join us?"
Yu Ze was rarely conflicted. He felt that this was not the right direction! But the temptation of noodles with lard was too great. Even the servants who had lived in the family for more than ten years did not know about this hobby, let alone Wen Shuang. So it was just a coincidence. Since it was a coincidence, he might as well go with the flow and have a deep exchange with Tang Weisheng while there was no one around.
Yu Ze nodded: "It would be disrespectful to refuse."
Wen Shuang: “…” I understand. Lard noodles to Yuze is like SpongeBob to Tang Weisheng. It has the same magical effect as “healing dead flesh and bones”.
Wen Shuang sent a message to Xuan Zhe saying that the system and Tang Weisheng were there and there would be no problem.
The three of them arrived at the kitchen. When the staff learned of their needs, they immediately prepared the ingredients and made way for them. Wen Shuang would not give Yu Ze the opportunity to brainwash Tang Weisheng, so she asked Tang Weisheng to help. Yu Ze didn't want to eat for free, so he followed along as a token of his appreciation.
Mr. Yu looked at the green onions in his hand, and there were only two words left in his mind: outrageous.
He seems to be brainwashed.
Yu Ze began to regret coming here. Although lard noodles were the greatest invention of mankind, not everyone could master it, and countless of them were ruined. Yu Ze liked it, but he didn't eat it every day because everyone's noodles tasted terrible. Wen Shuang looked pampered, and if she made a mess in a short time, he would have to brush his teeth all night when he got home.
That's impossible. This kind of home-cooked snack is what Wen Shuang is best at.
"Put some green vegetables in it." Tang Weisheng said.
Yu Ze frowned fiercely, then quickly relaxed his brows and said gently, "Lard noodles are meant to be eaten pure and simple. It's better without the vegetables."
Tang Weisheng naturally wouldn't buy it: "I'm happy to do it!"
Yu Ze: “…” He doesn’t know what’s good for him.
Looking at the noodles in the bowl, Yu Ze was like a treasure appraiser who was constantly striving for perfection. Well, the color was very good, and the oil fully wrapped each noodle, making it crystal clear. He leaned in to smell it, and the onion aroma was just right. His taste buds had begun to secrete saliva, so there was only one last step left.
Yuze picked up a noodle and took a bite.
“…”
“!!!”
"Wow~" the system exclaimed: "His happiness value has skyrocketed."
Wen Shuang: "..." You are so easy to control, why don't you just live an honest life? Why are you playing the villain and making me nervous and sweating?
Tang Weisheng also noticed the change in Yu Ze's aura, but he couldn't tell what was different. He just picked up a noodle and sneered, "You're such a bitch."
Yu Ze: “…”
Wen Shuang: “…”
