Chapter 39 "The Working Girl" Saving the Villain's Childhood (Part Two)...
Um?
Huo Yueze was too young to understand what his mother was saying, but the system had already reacted: "Host! What are you trying to do!"
"Take the little villain to find his dad."
"What kind of father is that?!"
"Heh, at this point, there's no need to pretend anymore."
Her name is Fu Yunzhen, but her son's name is Huo Yueze. What kind of strange chemical or physical change happened between them? Is it hard to guess?
According to the typical setup for the male lead in romance novels, the villainous male antagonist who tries to trip up the male lead usually comes from a well-off family.
It's a bit too far-fetched that a villain driven mad by his own mother, with both mental and physical instability, could grow up and build a force that rivals the male protagonist.
It would make much more sense to assign him a father figure.
A rich dad, a crazy mom, and a broken man – a very classic storyline.
system:……
To prevent Ye Xiqing from straying off-script, the system didn't give her any plot details this time, but she still managed to mess with the script right away!
Seeing the person heading straight for the male lead's company, the system really wanted to tie a rope and pull her back. Please, just follow the normal plot!
Ye Xiqing, however, did not want to pay attention to it.
The minor villain being the "real protagonist" is probably just a facade; there must be a real "protagonist" in this world.
Finding the male lead is too easy; just see who's the coolest in the world.
His surname is Huo, he must be very handsome, and he has some interaction with the female lead. After eliminating various bigwigs with the surname Huo from all walks of life, they finally locked onto one target.
Huo Yu is currently the most influential actor in the film industry.
Not only does he possess both good looks and talent, but he also comes from the powerful Huo family conglomerate, wielding immense influence in the entertainment industry, thus fulfilling the primary requirement for a male lead.
According to the novels Ye Xiqing secretly read in high school, no matter how many male leads there were in the early stages, making things confusing, the one who actually had a physical relationship with the female lead would always be the real male lead.
Strangely, neither the person who raped the female protagonist nor Huo Yu had any information related to her face in her mind.
Because of the fear of being raped, Fu Yunzhen dared not recall the face of her rapist, so it was understandable that she had no information about him.
Is it reasonable that a hugely popular movie star has absolutely no concept of what the female lead is like, living in an information cocoon?
Because of this unreasonable lack of information, Ye Xiqing became even more convinced that Huo Yu was the one who had a relationship with the original owner of the body.
One-night stands and running away with a baby are classic storylines.
Ye Xiqing walked towards the Huo Group building. Even if she was very confident, there was still a one percent chance of failure. Now that the system had jumped up, that one percent was gone.
She didn't know where Huo Yu's private residence was, so she went directly to his company. When the receptionist asked her if she had an appointment, she said directly, "No, please pass on the message and ask Huo Yu if he remembers that on X year X month X day, at XX hotel, he raped a girl."
Receptionist: ?
Putting aside how working people feel upon hearing such a shocking secret, such an important matter certainly cannot be ignored.
But notifying the boss directly would be a mistake and cause a disaster, so the receptionist first called Huo Yu's assistant and had someone take Ye Xiqing and the child who looked like the "young master" to the lounge to rest.
Ye Xiqing had no objections and waited idly in the lounge for the person to arrive, but Huo Yu, upon receiving the news, was stunned.
For the past three years, he has never forgotten that incident.
That day, he was drugged by his competitor and, in a state of delirium, dragged a strange woman into his room. Under the influence of the drug, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he remembered the intoxicating pleasure, which haunted his dreams every time he relives it.
An inexplicable entanglement kept Huo Yu searching for the person from that night, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace until she came to him today.
At first, Huo Yu was very excited, but he quickly remembered the words his assistant had sent and sensed the ill intent behind them, so he frowned.
With an expression that remained perfectly composed, he walked towards the lounge, secretly observing the people inside through the transparent glass.
The cheap red dress, the noticeably fleshy calves, the long, wavy hair that covered half her body—everything about her reminded him of that night that haunted his dreams.
His heart was surging with excitement, but he paused when he saw the woman's face.
Those were incredibly cold eyes; when those icy eyes looked over, all his previous daydreams vanished.
He didn't know why he could sense a superior's contemptuous composure in a woman's eyes, but in an instant, he could no longer treat her as a woman he could play with at will.
He pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Ye Xiqing, and said calmly, "Miss, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
Ye Xiqing was too lazy to argue with him, so she simply shoved Huo Yueze across the table and handed him over: "Your son. I raised him for three years, now it's your turn to raise him."
Huo Yu: ...
system:……
This was unlike any of Huo Yu's concerns, which made him somewhat cautious: "I don't quite understand what you're saying. What evidence do you have for what you're saying?"
Ye Xiqing was speechless. The plot was almost a carbon copy of the "male lead" and "male lead" storylines, yet they insisted that there was no connection between them.
He crossed his arms and said, "The Huo family is so big, they probably don't even have the money for a paternity test. If you're even slightly sensible, why don't you get one done right now?"
Huo Yu: ...
After several attempts to probe Ye Xiqing and finding that she seemed to have no other purpose and that he couldn't see anything special about her, he became a little angry.
With a wave of his hand, he instructed his assistant to conduct a paternity test. Thanks to the efficiency of someone with money and influence, not only were the DNA test results quickly obtained, but Fu Yun's true background was also quickly uncovered.
A bar singer? A crazy woman who drinks heavily?
Huo Yu suddenly laughed at his own petty temper.
Some things can only be relived in dreams. When he discovered that the dream girl who had haunted his dreams for three years was just a vulgar and glamorous street singer with cheap nail polish, all his previous illusions shattered.
Having let down his guard, Huo Yu raised his head and looked at Ye Xiqing arrogantly: "Then what do you want?"
Ye Xiqing could say she hated this kind of condescending gaze the most, but she had no choice. She needed the male lead's help now, so she could only lower her proud head and say, "I need you to raise the child."
This is Huo Yu's child, and Huo Yu certainly wouldn't hand over his bloodline to a woman who sings in a bar. He looked at her coldly and said, "I mean, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything."
"Heh, usually people don't want anything, they just want more."
"Then give me one million."
Huo Yu: ...
Give me a million, and I'll leave right away.
Huo Yu: ...
Ye Xiqing's greatest strength is her ability to be flexible and adaptable, readily accepting whatever advice she wants. She can demand a million and then demand it, but Huo Yu, despite saying so, didn't give it to her.
Ye Xiqing stood at the doorway where she had been kicked out, the wailing of the little villain that had been constantly echoing in her ears finally disappearing.
"Next time, please don't design such a high-class background for the male lead, otherwise it will make him seem stingy if he doesn't even give a million."
The system, however, was furious and jumped up and down: "What do you need a million for! Are you selling your child?!"
Ye Xiqing was extremely disgusted: "We haven't even received the money. Those who sell children are disgracing the children themselves."
Ugh! The system's gone crazy again.
The original plot of this world should be: After the transmigrator transmigrates, he finds that the original owner has made a mess of his life, and the minor villain is very innocent and pitiful. He then feels pity for the original owner and decides to change his own life, as well as change the fate of the minor villain who turns evil and dies.
The transmigrator in his previous life was a composer with amazing talent, but he lacked a healthy body and could not freely display his works on stage.
After death, the body transmigrated into the body of the original owner. Although the original owner had many flaws in handling life's problems, he had a very strong body and a perfect singing voice.
Combining the two, the female protagonist immediately decided to fulfill her unfulfilled dream from her previous life by participating in a music talent show and becoming a rising star in the music scene.
Originally, the female lead was booed when she went on stage because her competitors revealed that she sang in bars and had a child out of wedlock.
But with the original owner's singing voice and the transmigrator's creative talent, the female protagonist quickly turned public opinion around, stood out in the talent show, and debuted in the center position.
Seeing the female lead's sudden rise to fame, the producers immediately invited her to participate in a children's variety show with her child. It was there that she met the popular movie star Huo Yu.
Two complete strangers meet again in an unfamiliar environment. After a series of intense moments including confrontation, reconciliation, shipping as a couple, and jealousy, Huo Yu and the audience gradually realize something is wrong: why does the female lead's face look more and more like the movie star?
Huo Yu secretly conducted a paternity test and confirmed that the child was indeed his. After confirming that the female lead was the same person from three years ago, he immediately launched a fierce pursuit, bringing his wife and child home together, and completely changing the tragic fate of the minor villain.
The first step is wrong!
Ye Xiqing brazenly delivers the child to his door and even asks for money, directly transforming the ambiguous relationship into that of a greedy prostitute who seems to want to "use the child to climb the social ladder." How can the rest of the story unfold like this?
It deliberately concealed the plot in order to create conditions for the female and male leads to fall in love, but now it's all ruined!
He glared at Ye Xiqing through gritted teeth: "Host, didn't you say in the last world that children are the mother's private property? How can you so easily hand over your private property to someone else now?"
Ye Xiqing looked at the system with pity, as if it were a fool: "The道理 (principles/reasoning) are just for others to hear. Just live however you feel comfortable. How could you actually believe that, you little idiot?"
system:……
ah--
Saying goodbye to the crazed system, Ye Xiqing skipped and hopped lightly down the street without a child, even spinning around in her joy.
For someone as big as her to do something so romantic in a movie is still pretty crazy.
But her expression was so natural that passersby were naturally infected by her relaxed and cheerful mood and accepted the premise that the movie's female lead was actually next to them.
Ye Xiqing was like a prisoner released from life imprisonment, breathing in the fresh car exhaust fumes and heading towards a new life.
Passing by the bus stop, she casually stepped onto the bus. Taking a taxi was still too expensive. Based on the original owner's financial situation, she decided to start saving money from now on.
Because it wasn't peak travel time, I found a seat as soon as I got on the bus, which added another boost to my good mood.
After many twists and turns, I finally got home. Carrying the eggs and noodles I bought from the supermarket downstairs, I went upstairs and saw a little girl with two pigtails standing at my door.
Her chubby little hands were clutching two plump, white buns, which made the buns appear even larger because of her small hands.
She tiptoed and knocked on their door, calling out, "Xiao Ze! I brought you some food!"
Wow, this plot is so familiar! This girl must be the little heroine who brought warmth to the villain's childhood.
He took the two steamed buns from her hands from behind, looked down at the young female protagonist who was looking up, and said, "The person you're looking for isn't here anymore, but I can accept the steamed buns for him."
Qiu Xiaoya:......
