Although she looked normal, she constantly displayed a deep dislike for the world, whether consciously or unconsciously, as if she wanted to leave at any moment. She spent most of her time either locked in her room or sitting in the backyard, lost in thought. The long-haired ragdoll cat had become somewhat dull because of her care. Uncle Wang often saw them sitting there, lost in thought, motionless, their expressions synced. He didn't know whether to laugh or worry.
Uncle Wang privately consulted many psychologists for this and was really worried about it.
Fortunately, Mr. Huo has deep feelings for his wife. Only when she is with Mr. Huo does his wife show some popularity and vitality, instead of the indifferent and world-weary look of a walking corpse.
Song Li: "No, I just like quietness."
Uncle Wang: “…”
Uncle Wang: "Madam, I remember you used to like painting. How about finding a teacher for you?"
The original owner's university major was painting. Because of the Huo family's connections, she was touted as a gifted and talented female painter, pursuing a petty-bourgeois, fresh, and artistic style. However, Song Li, based on the original owner's memories, knew that she didn't like studying painting at all. She chose this major because her mother, the white moonlight that Mr. Huo had always dreamed of, was a painter.
The original owner seemed very pampered and well-fed, with a single meal costing an average person a year's salary. Yet, she lived a very oppressive life, wearing clothes she disliked, studying a major she disliked, and doing things she disliked.
Song Li felt a very strong sense of repression and despair from her original memory. Perhaps the original owner could not hold on and collapsed, so she traveled through time.
Song Li: "Actually, I don't like painting at all."
Whether it was the original owner or her.
In this respect, the original owner is a bit like Song Li.
Song Li's mother had a crush on a famous painter with long, beautiful fingers. She was so obsessed with him that she named him "Song Li" because the man's surname was Li. As a child, Song Li loved acting. With her exceptional talent and good looks, she might have become a famous actress. Unfortunately, her obsessed mother forced her to stay close to her man, forcing her to pick up a paintbrush and paint pictures that were all technique but no soul.
Uncle Wang hesitated, "Madam, is there nothing you want to do?"
"Yes." Song Li looked up with a slightly sad look, "I want to see Hua Rongrong."
I want to go home.
I want to leave here.
Uncle Wang: “…”
Song Li's eyes were too resentful, and filled with a strong desire, causing Uncle Wang to gasp. Could it be that Madam was interested in Hua Rongrong...
Uncle Wang was terrified and trembled. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
When the wife was little, she never played with other wealthy young ladies her age, only with Hua Rongrong. She even bullied her husband for Hua Rongrong's sake. Hua Rongrong's feelings for her husband were obvious to everyone, but the wife still took her in, even sleeping in a separate room from her husband and causing a huge row. After Hua Rongrong was sent away, she looked completely hopeless.
The more Uncle Wang thought about it, the more frightened he became.
What kind of deep love is this?!
If Song Li knew what he was imagining, he would definitely vomit blood.
However, although he didn't know what Uncle Wang was thinking, his expression gave Song Li a very bad premonition, and it was the kind of creepy feeling that made him uncontrollably get goosebumps all over his body.
"Uncle Wang?" Song Li frowned slightly.
Uncle Wang came back to his senses, his eyes showing a complicated expression, filled with disappointment and the heart of an old father who was worried sick.
"Madam, that Hua Rongrong is not worthy! My husband is the one worthy of your lifelong entrustment! Although true love knows no gender, you must open your eyes and see clearly who is truly worthy of your love."
Song Li: “???”
Why could she understand Uncle Wang’s words separately, but not understand what they meant when they were put together?
"Don't pour out your heart and soul to someone who's not worthy of your love. You'll only get hurt in return, especially if it's someone who only wants to use you. Madam, don't be fooled by that woman's sweet words. That Hua Rongrong clearly has ill intentions towards you and wants to use you to seduce your husband. This woman is not worthy of your love..."
The more Song Li listened, the more confused he became: "Wait, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Uncle Wang sighed lightly, "Madam, think about it carefully!" Then he turned and left, leaving Song Li sitting alone in the restaurant, confused.
Song Li reacted, "Fuck, Uncle Wang, could it be that I'm attracted to Hua Rongrong?"
I subconsciously pressed my uncomfortable and nauseous stomach, as if a large group of alpaca were galloping through my mind.
System: [...Host, I suggest you attend this banquet.]
"What?" Song Li looked at the exquisite invitation with gold stamping placed next to the dining table.
[Shen Ruiwen, the eldest grandson of the Shen family, is an important male supporting role in the plot.]
"I know this, and then what?"
What does it have to do with her going to the party?
In the plot, Shen Ruiwen is just a tool and an unlucky guy. He is a cannon fodder who exists solely to enhance the relationship between the male and female protagonists. He has far fewer scenes than the supporting actress Song Li, and his ending is not much better.
Originally, Shen Ruiwen and Huo Siyuan weren't top bachelors in their circle, but they grew up together. Unlike Huo Siyuan, who later inherited the Huo family and became the sole and undisputed leader, Shen Ruiwen was surrounded by a multitude of half-siblings and cousins, with a host of uncles, aunts, and sons-in-law above him. While he was the eldest grandson, he wasn't the sole heir, and his status was far less prominent than Huo Siyuan's. Furthermore, Huo Siyuan was also a powerful male protagonist, making the comparison even more impossible.
Of course, these are not the point.
The key point is that in the plot, Shen Ruiwen has admired the supporting actress Song Li since he was a child. He helped the supporting actress, whose temperament had changed drastically, to deal with the heroine Hua Rongrong. In the end, he was conquered by Hua Rongrong's kindness, saw through the supporting actress's vicious nature, and turned to the arms of the kind and beautiful heroine, and in turn helped her deal with the supporting actress Song Li, contributing to the tragic ending of the supporting actress.
Later, because Shen Ruiwen coveted the heroine Hua Rongrong, the male protagonist killed him and the Shen family as cannon fodder.
So, why should cannon fodder make things difficult for cannon fodder?
According to the original plot, Hua Rongrong and Huo Siyuan should be living under the same roof, sparks of love flying between them, a perfect match for the Huo family mistress. Meanwhile, the supporting actress, Song Li, is hated by everyone except the butler, Uncle Wang, and the entire Huo family's servants.
At this time, Shen Ruiwen still had a crush on the original owner. As the story progressed, the original owner's soul was twisted by hatred, jealousy and anger, and she found Shen Ruiwen to ask him to help deal with Hua Rongrong. As a result, she pushed her dog into the arms of the heroine and became the heroine's dog.
