"Slap."
As soon as Mu Wenxi entered, she was slapped across the face. The pain was intense, and she involuntarily flinched. The man in front of her, dressed simply and standing somewhat unsteadily, raised his hand and swung it at her again.
Before the second slap landed, she quickly took a step back, dodging the man's blow, but the man noticed.
"You little brat, you think you can hide?" The man glared angrily and reached out to grab Mu Wenxi's hair.
Mu Wenxi dodged again, but this body reacted a little slowly. She staggered a couple of steps to steady herself, and accidentally bumped into a nearby wine bottle while retreating. A bunch of wine bottles were knocked to the ground with a clatter, indicating that the man was an alcoholic.
The man cursed and spat, "You just go when I tell you to? Have I raised you for nothing all these years?"
Mu Wenxi frowned, feeling the bangs poking her eyes. Ignoring the discomfort in her eyes, she focused on what was in front of her, afraid that the man would attack again. This was the first time she had transmigrated into a world where her father treated her badly. She slowly clenched her fists.
Seeing the little brat in front of him frown, the man became even angrier, approached her, and kicked her: "You little beast, you dare to frown? I sent you here to enjoy yourself, and you don't even appreciate it."
Mu Wenxi dodged the kick, his body trembling with fear. Seeing that he was spitting saliva everywhere, he quickly said, "I know... I know."
The man only stopped when he saw her timidly agree: "That's more like it. Hurry up and go, don't keep your Aunt Bei waiting."
Mu Wenxi nodded, turned and left, telling Xiao A to quickly send over the original plot of this world.
As A watched, she kept complaining, "Tsk tsk, the second male lead in this world is so unlucky, the kind of unlucky that even drinking water gets stuck in his teeth."
Mu Wenxi, somewhat curious, quickly absorbed the plot.
This is the world of a melodramatic novel. The second male lead, Huo Jiangliu, is indeed quite unlucky. The original female lead of this world is named Bei Ying, who is Mu Wenxi's cousin and also the second male lead's classmate.
The day Bei Ying first met Huo Jiangliu, she was deeply attracted to him. Although they were in different classes, she tried every means to get close to him, but for some reason, Huo Jiangliu started to have bad luck from that day on.
First, various accidents would happen before each exam, preventing him from taking it. Then, he inexplicably became the public enemy of all the boys in the school. He would have a basin of water fall from the sky when he went to the toilet, or he would accidentally step into the latrine.
Huo Jiangliu initially thought someone was playing a trick on him, but after observing for a while, he realized that it wasn't. Moreover, he discovered that Bei Ying was always present whenever he was unlucky, and she would approach him after his misfortune to try to help him.
But he didn't need to, because he found that as long as he didn't get close to Bei Ying, he wouldn't become unlucky.
One day in his second year of high school, Huo Jiangliu was involved in a car accident on the road for no apparent reason. When he fell to the ground, he found Bei Ying standing not far away. He gritted his teeth and hated this woman to death. However, somehow the story got out to other people and it became that he got into a car accident while saving Bei Ying.
After the car accident, Huo Jiangliu was sentenced by the doctor to have no feeling in his legs and would be confined to a wheelchair forever.
The rumor that Huo Jiangliu became disabled while saving Bei Ying somehow reached the ears of the Huo family. Huo's parents were furious. They only had one son, so they didn't want to let the Bei family off the hook. However, they also thought that their son was deeply in love with Bei Ying. They hated her while wanting Bei Ying to take care of Huo Jiangliu.
Huo's parents wanted to torment her, but Huo Jiangliu refused to accept Bei Ying's advances and had no hope of survival. His health deteriorated, and he eventually died. Huo's parents couldn't bear the shock and their health deteriorated significantly. The Huo family's business also gradually declined.
However, the Bei family had everything go smoothly after the Huo family's incident. After Huo Jiangliu's death, Bei Ying climbed up to Qu Jianghe, a wealthy young man who was Huo Jiangliu's mortal enemy.
In this world, the original owner was just a minor female supporting character who suffered misfortune along with the main character. She lived in the shadow of the original female lead, trapped in a quagmire, unable to save herself and sinking deeper and deeper. In the end, she was accidentally beaten to death by her drunken father, Mu Guoqiang.
After receiving the plot of this world, Mu Wenxi had a bad feeling. She rolled up her sleeves and sure enough, her body was covered with bruises of all sizes, which were obviously caused by Mu Guoqiang's drunken beating.
Mu Wenxi spoke softly, her tone filled with pity and resentment: "What was the original owner's wish?"
Little A: "Waaaa, the original owner of the boss's wish was to stay away from Mu Guoqiang and the Bei family, and then have enough to eat and wear and a home. If possible, I hope the Bei family can go bankrupt."
Mu Wenxi thought about the power dynamics in this world: "The Huo family is probably the one most capable of bankrupting the Bei family."
Little A: "Currently, the only people who dislike the Bei family are Huo's parents and Huo Jiangliu."
Mu Wenxi shook her head: "Then we need to rely on the second male lead, but he's so unlucky, will his bad luck be contagious to me?"
Little A squinted: "Boss, bad luck isn't contagious, but should we choose some props or something?"
Mu Wenxi: "Sure, are there any items that can prevent or avoid bad luck?"
A popped up a system interface: "Yes! How about this one?"
Mu Wenxi: "Lucky Koi - a magic weapon to ward off bad luck, hahaha, this is it."
A: "Okay."
Mu Wenxi touched his face; it still hurt a little. He had just arrived and had been slapped. He also had so many injuries on his body. The original owner's father was really no good.
According to the original owner's memories, her mother was in poor health and died early. She then asked her mother's younger sister, the Aunt Bei that her father mentioned earlier, to take good care of her.
Because the original owner's father, Mu Guoqiang, was a man who indulged in all sorts of vices, such as drinking, gambling, and womanizing, and was often away from home, he did not take care of little Mu Wenxi and only cared about his own carefree life, which caused the original owner to often go hungry when he was a child.
Back then, Aunt Bei would still feel sorry for the original owner and feed her a bite of food. But as the original owner grew up, Mu Guoqiang demanded more and more benefits from the Bei family, and Aunt Bei grew to hate the two of them more and more.
The original owner of the body had finally grown up tenaciously. This time, Huo Jiangliu was in a car accident. The Huo family threatened the Bei family, making Bei Ying take care of Huo Jiangliu. Otherwise, the Bei family's business would be in danger. However, Huo Jiangliu kicked Bei Ying out, and Bei Ying was unwilling to go back. In order to save the company, Bei Ying thought of the original owner of the body, her cousin.
Mu Wenxi: "The original owner of this body is really pitiful. Everyone comes to kick him while he's down. Fine, let's see how I deal with them later."
She tugged at her hair as she spoke, thinking about her plans for the future, and decided to go back to her room first.
She went back to her room, where Mu Guoqiang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, glaring at her: "Why aren't you going yet?"
Mu Wenxi clutched her clothes, lowered her head, and shrank back somewhat: "I...I'll change my clothes."
Mu Guoqiang seemed to have thought of something and said, "Go."
