"The Working Girl" saves the villain in his childhood (18)...

Fu Yun stumbled and ran wildly out of the hotel, unable to believe what had happened to her.

Just now, she encountered the most terrifying thing in her life. Her mind was buzzing. It's over... it's over... her whole life is over...

Fuyun truly didn't understand why all of this was happening to her. She wanted to burst into tears, but a voice suddenly rang in her mind—

"It's not that easy to end. Humans are even more resilient than cockroaches. No matter what, it's not that easy to end."

Fu Yun's mind was already on the verge of collapse, and this eerie voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of her mind, terrified her even more. She asked in a panicked voice:

"Who are you!"

The voice didn't explain, but paused for a moment and continued, "Let's analyze your fear, why you feel like your life is ruined."

"Physical reasons are of course impossible. Your body is very healthy, which allows you to recover quickly from any serious injury. In this respect, some people even think you are like Superman."

"But in contrast, your spirit is as fragile as a piece of paper, making you like a child holding a real gun. You have the ability to shoot the other person dead, but you feel as helpless as a child."

"But can I blame you? I can't."

"Because you are just a child who has lost his mother, and no mother taught you to behave properly, so you can only absorb some bad garbage in this dirty world."

"So I'm going to tell you the real rules of this world: as long as you don't die, there is always hope."

"Being violated by a strange man is not the end of despair."

"To mistakenly give birth to a rapist's child is not the end of despair."

"As long as you can still feel beauty in this world, your life will never end."

"Keep seeking beauty; that's what you need to do in your life. Your mother gave birth to you, not so that you would wallow in pain."

Fu Yunzhen: ...

She couldn't believe someone would say such a thing to her at this crucial moment, but... but...

"Is your current predicament truly a predicament?"

"Physical trauma stems from real-life pain, but how much of the emotional trauma originates from your imagination?"

"In a feudal society with strict etiquette, if a woman were to simply expose her skin, it would be as if the sky were falling and she could not survive."

"But in the longer matriarchal society, women exposed their bodies and lived in groups where they knew only their mothers and not their fathers. Later historians could only grit their teeth and say 'conceived by feeling,' covering up the facts by giving them divinity, but they could not deny the reality of their existence."

"What's the difference between you and the women of that time? How many of the shackles imposed on you are real, and how many are just ropes tethering a baby elephant?"

"Does someone want this rope to stay with you forever, and do you want to be a slave to this rope forever?"

Fu Yunzhen: ...

She was, after all, a graduate of a political and law university, so she could understand the meaning behind the mysterious man's words.

But the real shame and self-destructive feelings relentlessly tormented her mind, preventing her from truly ignoring them. She could only desperately plead, "What should I do...?"

The mysterious voice continued: "First, you need to take an emergency contraceptive pill."

"Because of a woman's unique physiological functions, you must consider the possibility that you might have a child after being violated."

"Having a child is not a simple matter. Positive expectations will make you feel that life has been continued, while negative expectations will make your life suffer continuously."

“There is a life growing inside you right now. You will definitely think that if it is a girl, you will keep it as a continuation of life, and if it is a boy, you will abort it as an end to sin.”

"Then I can tell you, he's a boy, a continuation of evil. When he grows up, not only will his character be exactly like his father's, but his appearance will also be 79% identical."

"Give up, get an abortion right now. There's a birth control pill in your left pocket. Take it within 24 hours. The sooner you take it, the more effective it will be. If you don't have it, just pretend I remembered wrong."

Fu Yunzhen: ...

Before she even had a chance to think about it, the mysterious voice had already decided everything for her future...

But this voice was so reassuring; no one had ever patiently and gently guided her to resolve her doubts like this before.

She took out the pill from her pocket, barely thinking about why a "birth control pill" had appeared out of nowhere, and stuffed it directly into her mouth, swallowing it with difficulty.

After the pill, which was said to "cure all children," entered her digestive tract, her heart suddenly and miraculously calmed down: "So what should I do next?"

The mysterious voice said calmly, "You should already know the answer, shouldn't you? You're a college graduate from a university of political science and law."

As if her mind had settled, Fu Yunzhen was finally able to think rationally.

Once she regained her senses, she instantly knew what she had to do next.

She dialed a well-known number and then a less well-known number.

Upon receiving the call, He Xinxin rushed to the police station: What? Her employee went out to meet a client, and when she came back, she became the client herself?

Fu Yunzhen looked up at her boss, dejected, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the client..."

He Xinxin: ...

No, this isn't the time to think about that! You can see your client anytime, but you've been violated!

What's the difference between this and getting hit by a car, then calling your boss and saying sorry, I'm going to be late for work?

As the boss who had to call in sick after an employee's car accident, He Xinxin didn't know what to say. She simply said as decisively as ever, "Don't worry about what's going on over there. I sent Xiao Zhao. How's your own business going?"

After all that trouble, Fu Yunzhen had calmed down considerably: "I've finished collecting evidence, and the person who assaulted me has been arrested, but his identity is a bit special, so it might not be easy to deal with him."

"Special?" He Xinxin's interest was piqued. "How so?"

"His name is Huo Yu. He is the second-generation scion of the wealthy Huo family and the hottest new actor in the entertainment industry."

He Xinxin: Huh? Who? Huo Yu?

Oh my god!

He Xinxin wasn't like Fu Yunzhen, who had absolutely no knowledge of entertainment. Of course, she knew who Huo Yu was. After being shocked by the big news, she immediately realized something: "It's Huo Yu, are you sure?"

Fu Yunzhen nodded obediently: "Yes, that's how he introduced himself when he was brought in."

He Xinxin's expression immediately changed.

Her firm is still in its early stages and needs a big case to boost its reputation.

The biggest fear in sexual assault cases is incomplete evidence. Victims often back down due to social pressure. Now, the perpetrators are caught in bed right now, and the evidence is all there. Isn't this a sure win?

He Xinxin was overjoyed, but when facing the victims, even her employees, she had to appear very empathetic.

He placed his hand on Fu Yunzhen's shoulder and said with a heavy expression, "Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, as your boss, I will help you win this lawsuit for free!"

Fu Yunzhen: ...

She didn't doubt her boss's eagerness to win the case, but she remembered the reminder that voice had given her—

"You don't need to worry about Huo Yu now."

"The reason he acted so rashly and without precautions this time is because of his competitor's scheme. If you dare to sue, countless people will help you send him to jail."

"But three years later, when he gets out of prison, he might take revenge on you."

"So you're going to spend three years making him homeless."

Fu Yun's mind was currently being overwhelmed by massive amounts of data, which was one of the reasons why she could remain so calm.

She couldn't understand how someone could know so much about a family's power, it was as if they were spying on that family from above.

It details every single transaction, specifying the exact time and people involved, and even includes not only the past but also the "future."

After forcibly inputting this data, the sound seemed to become much weaker.

“It took me eighteen years, or even longer, to collect this data.”

"But you only have three years left."

"You can think that all of this is too difficult and give up, after all, it really is too difficult."

"But no matter what, I won't blame you."

"Because, like many others, I just hope that you can live a happy life."

Fu Yunzhen lowered her head, looking somewhat confused: "Then how can I know who you really are?"

The persistent sound stopped, and after an unknown amount of time, it started again.

“My name is Ye Xiqing, and I am your mother.”

Fu Yunzhen: ...

In an instant, another flood of memories rushed into her mind.

She seemed to see her own future, a future where she lived in a daze, gave birth to her enemy's child, and became neither human nor ghost, descending into madness and depravity.

But one day, "she" suddenly became different.

Like having a cheat code, he turned the past around and endured hardship for eighteen years in the most difficult situation, shattering all evil!

She knew that person wasn't her; she was just an observer, and she knew that person wasn't her.

She admired that person's wisdom, rationality, and decisiveness.

So, that person was her mother?

Fu Yun's tears welled up instantly.

She sat in the police station's break room, crying uncontrollably. Upon seeing this, He Xinxin quickly comforted her.

Sometimes, when a person's mental state is suppressed to the extreme, they may indeed appear calmer, but this does not mean that she is really okay. It may actually be better for her to cry it out.

Fu Yun cried in a very disheveled way, but it wasn't the sadness He Xinxin had imagined; rather, it was extreme joy.

So she had a mother too? Was her mother such a strong and resilient person?

A part of my heart was completely filled, followed by profound regret.

How could she be so useless? She ruined her whole life over such a trivial matter. No wonder even her mother couldn't stand it and came to save her herself!

She suddenly became very scared because she didn't know what the rules were in the "underworld".

Life and death are the greatest boundaries. Returning to the human world will definitely come at an unimaginable price. What if her mother paid a huge price to bring her into this world?

She's already killed her mother once, will she kill her again...?

The unimaginable emotional shock caused Fu Yunzhen to break down emotionally, and even the policewoman standing nearby couldn't bear to watch and joined He Xinxin in comforting her.

But Fu Yunzhen, who burst into tears, was not as fragile as they had imagined; she seemed to have completely rediscovered her backbone.

She is her mother's daughter, and she should have the same resilient character as her mother. How can she always be weak and unable to stand up?

She dared not continue to be weak, for that would be a disservice to her mother's expectations, sacrifices, and love.

So it's possible! Three years! It's possible!

Fu Yunzhen had a good cry, and after she finished crying, she shone brightly as if she had been reborn. She said to He Xinxin with great energy, "Boss, I'm much better now. I'd like to ask for a leave of absence to take care of some other things first."

He Xinxin: ...

"Are you really okay? Being assaulted isn't a big deal. You're a lawyer, you should understand this. You'll definitely encounter clients like this in the future, you can't be more vulnerable than them."

Fu Yunzhen nodded, her voice choked with emotion: "I know, boss, I know. I won't let my mother down!"

He Xinxin: ...

That sounds even more worrying...

So in the end, He Xinxin still drove Fu Yunzhen home himself, as a gesture of humanistic care from the boss.

Upon arriving at Fu Yunzhen's rented apartment, Fu Yunzhen strode forward, her expression excited as she looked at the woman pacing in the hallway: "Are you looking for a place to rent?"

Qiu Hui: ...

She was indeed looking for a place to rent, but what was this woman she'd never seen before up to...?

Fuyun was so excited that she was incoherent. She wanted to say, "Is she Mom's friend? I'm Mom's daughter!"

But it is clear that Qiu Hui does not remember "her" or her "mother".

After an unknown period of excitement, Fu Yunzhen finally regained her ability to organize her thoughts.

“I…I’m a tenant in this house…I live here alone…the rent is too expensive…can I share the house with you…my room has two rooms…”

Qiu Hui: ...

She would be happy to share an apartment if possible, since renting the whole place is indeed too expensive.

But she had just brought her child from her hometown and was completely uneasy about the messy environment of the shared apartment, especially since the child was such a neurotic woman...

The offer of a 50% rent reduction was very tempting, but she didn't trust the woman and was about to refuse.

Fortunately, He Xinxin understood the situation and quickly stepped forward: "Hello, my name is He Xinxin, and I am the owner of 'Xinxin Law Firm'. This is my business card."

"lawyer?"

Qiu Hui, holding her child and glancing at the business card, asked suspiciously, "If you're lawyers, this is..."

He Xinxin quickly explained, "Her name is Fu Yunzhen, she's my employee. She probably really wants to share an apartment with you. The reason she's so emotionally unstable is because she just went through something bad, she..."

"I was just raped. I'm just feeling a bit upset because I was raped, that's all. I genuinely want to share an apartment with you!"

Qiu Hui: ...

He Xinxin: ...

ah?

Fu Yun's mental state is a great concern to everyone.

But Qiu Hui was someone who easily felt pity for women who suffered misfortune, and this incident did indeed make her lower her guard.

Fu Yunzhen led her into the house, and she looked at her rented room, a small two-bedroom apartment, but it seemed just right for two women with a little girl...

Looking at Fu Yunzhen, who had the innocent and naive look of a college student, and He Xinxin, who exuded the aura of a "successful person," Qiu Hui was still hesitant, but the scales had already quietly tipped in her favor.

How much is your rent per year?

...

Back in the system space, Ye Xiqing smiled happily, looking at her own personal AI: "Ah, what a genius design, making me spend so much money, you win."

In this world, she consumed [Contraceptive Pill] x1 and [Memory Imprint] x2, for a total of 18664 points.

A number that I absolutely cannot accept when converted into real currency; I only dare to record it as points.

But what Ye Xiqing hates even more than impulsive spending is being provoked.

If someone provokes her, she doesn't know what she's capable of doing.

In fact, emergency contraceptive pills also exist in that world. She could have easily let Fu Yunzhen find the pills herself or have an abortion.

But that's the fate of the "young male lead" after all. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise? If she arranges for Fuyun to take birth control pills and they don't work, and then arranges for her to have an abortion and she can't get it, that would be ridiculous.

Therefore, Ye Xiqing gave up on manipulating things from that world and directly shopped from the mall, using magic to defeat magic.

【Contraceptive Pill】: A special item in ancient Chinese romance novels. It is an equipment item that prevents the birth of children during the period of its use. It only works in ordinary worlds and cannot work in extraordinary worlds, such as the parasitic embryos in worlds like 【Parasyte】.

However, after removing it, the male fetus fertility rate increases by 30%. It costs 8888, is a permanent item, and can be used when changing worlds, but can only be used once per world.

The introduction is very detailed, and to prevent players from exploiting bugs, the scope of use has been specifically limited.

But Ye Xiqing didn't want to eliminate the parasites; she only needed to eliminate the "minor villains."

As the owner of the [Contraceptive Pill], she has the right to load and unload the item. As long as she doesn't unload it, the [Contraceptive Pill] will remain in effect.

Even if a transmigrator enters the story and ends up with the main male lead due to the plot, the younger male lead can't escape. What can be done? The original body is locked in.

In this way, the real Fu Yunzhen was also sterilized without pain.

But honestly, why would a female lead have a child?

People generally want to have children because people die, and aging lives need new life to carry on the legacy.

The world restarts after the female lead dies. What's the point of going through all that trouble to have a child?

Ye Xiqing has never been one to respect other people's choices. In fact, she is very confident in the correctness of her own perceptions and therefore disdains other people's "stupid choices."

There is no perfect solution in this world; self-confidence and stubbornness often go hand in hand.

So most of the time, she gives people choices on the surface, but in reality, there is no other way to go.

Letting Fu Yunzhen choose whether or not to take the "contraceptive pill" was already the greatest act of democratic spirit Ye Xiqing could demonstrate; trying to gain the freedom to have children was impossible.

She is a gamer; once she finishes a game, the game is over, and she won't keep watching one world. Therefore, her guardian must completely conform to her will.

But this world is indeed too special; the guardian she chose could be "possessed" by a time traveler at any moment.

Okay, that's great.

Then she would see what would happen if even the "villain" disappeared in this world called "Saving the Villain's Childhood". What would a transmigrator save if they came here?

Wear it if someone needs to be saved, and wear it if no one needs to be saved.

The villain is gone, but you still have to wear the costume; the male lead is gone, but you still have to wear the costume.

You're going to wear it anyway~
