A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 40
Li Yingxue, in a good mood, went downstairs to prepare for today’s banquet.
She checked the time, her parents would probably arrive in about half an hour.
Ding! Her phone received an instant message—her people had already infiltrated the Li family when those two left.
She must eliminate this threat and not be controlled anymore.
“Miss, you have come down.”
The servant suddenly spoke up, drawing Li Yingxue’s attention. She saw Fu Man descending the spiral staircase with a gloomy expression.
Li Yingxue raised her eyes and met hers. In that instant, she felt the woman’s displeasure at being woken up.
For some reason, Li Yingxue felt a bit happy.
Maybe she was toying with a much stronger monster, watching her struggle, a sense of victory lingering in her heart.
However, there was no hint of smugness on Li Yingxue’s face; she merely pressed her red lips together slightly, lowered her gaze to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, secretly concealing and soothing her sense of pride.
The tall woman approached her, and Li Yingxue naturally looked up and politely greeted her, “Good morning.”
Fu Man crossed her arms and snorted lightly through her nose, “You really slammed the door hard this morning.”
Li Yingxue, with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, said apologetically, “Sorry, I accidentally used a bit too much force.”
“You better be.”
Fu Man snorted coldly, “How long until your parents arrive?”
Li Yingxue: “About half an hour left.”
Fu Man immediately raised her hand to glance at her watch, “It’s still early.”
Li Yingxue saw her action and had a somewhat complicated expression; she didn’t expect her to actually accept the gift she had bought for her.
Moreover, this gift clearly has a utilitarian nature; she just wants her to invite her parents over for a meal under the pretense of being Fu Man.
But she clearly knew, yet she still accepted it.
This seems different from the “Fu Man” in her memory.
In fact, ever since her rebirth, this “Fu Man” has been somewhat different from the woman in her previous life.
She always thought that either “Fu Man” was just putting on an act, or it was the butterfly effect that made “Fu Man” a bit different.
“You…” Just as Fu Man was about to turn around, Li Yingxue couldn’t help but ask her, “How long have you been here?”
Fu Man paused for a moment, raised an eyebrow at her, and asked, “Want to know?”
Li Yingxue nodded.
“You guess.”
“……”
In order to know the truth, Li Yingxue could only go along with her. Her red lips coldly parted: “Your real name is Di Ji. You killed the original Fu Man and continued to live among humans using her identity.”
“Shut up.”
“……”
This woman is really simple and crude.
Li Yingxue was speechless for a long time before she began to guess the second possibility: “Is Lord Fu’s wife carrying a monster?”
“Could you say that again?”
Li Yingxue saw her face turn very ugly, realizing that this was not a compliment, so she reorganized her words: “Did you reincarnate into the Fu family?”
“No.” Fu Man gradually lost her patience. Seeing Li Yingxue’s thoughtful expression with her head bowed, the old grudge from the morning combined with the new resentment just now, she curled her lips with a hint of malice and said, “Don’t think about it. My real name is Fu Man. I came here over two months ago.”
Li Yingxue raised her eyes in surprise: “Over two months ago?”
Why is this time so close to when she was reborn?
Fu Man walked up to her, stopping just a fist’s distance away, slightly bending down to lean close to Li Yingxue’s ear.
Li Yingxue stared blankly at her actions, and couldn’t help but recall the scene on the deserted island when this woman was about to jump into the hundred-meter abyss. She had spoken to herself in the same way.
She said that once she knows the ABO gender of others, she will tell herself to increase their chances of winning.
“Miss Li, have you forgotten so quickly? We even had sex the day I arrived…”
Li Yingxue’s pupils dilated, clearly in shock.
Fu Man took a small step back, leisurely enjoying her expression, “The one who keeps rubbing against my tail is you.”
After appreciating it, Fu Man turned around and left with big strides.
Only Li Yingxue remained frozen in place.
se… sex……
Are you crazy?
Absolutely impossible.
Li Yingxue closed her eyes tightly, rubbing her temples in an attempt to dispel the images of “rubbing against the tail.”
Not long.
“Miss Li, Master Li and Madam have arrived.”
Li Yingxue finally came to her senses and said seriously, “Okay, I understand.”
Before long, Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun both came to visit, exchanging pleasantries and making small talk with Fu Man.
Li Yingxue felt somewhat out of place standing by, as if Fu Man were their daughter.
She slightly turned to the side and said coldly, “Come in, the food is ready.”
Li Huarong looked at his daughter, not angry but imposing, and let out a hum.
A few people took their seats, and a long table was set with a sumptuous feast. Li Yingxue and Fu Man sat on one side, while Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun sat opposite them.
Fu Man glanced at Li Yingxue beside her, then said to the people across from her, “Uncle, Aunt, please start eating.”
Zhuo Meijun’s gaze wandered between the two, eating while asking, “Miss Fu, did you invite us over to discuss something? Is it about your marriage with Li Yingxue?”
Fu Man hadn’t even spoken yet, but Li Yingxue’s expression had already changed several times.
Li Huarong: “Have you set the date? What day is it? Have you told Lord Fu?”
“No!” Li Yingxue completely didn’t expect that they came over for this matter, and quickly denied it.
Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun both looked at her.
Fu Man replied slowly, “Uncle and Aunt, do you really want this marriage to be settled as soon as possible?”
Li Yingxue frowned in disbelief and turned to look at her, tugging at her clothes under the table, signaling her with her eyes not to speak recklessly.
Fu Man completely ignored her, not even turning her head. Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun, seeing their somewhat discordant situation, had complex expressions.
She can only pull out some old clichés: “Our daughter has been marked by you; she has no other way out but to marry you.”
Li Huarong suddenly retorted, “Could it be that Miss Fu wants to break off the engagement?”
“Uncle and Aunt are joking.” Fu Man noticed the sharp glares coming from Li Yingxue, but she still ignored her.
It’s just that the snake’s tail under the table suddenly wrapped around her ankle, tightening slightly, threatening her not to give herself the evil eye anymore.
Li Yingxue was caught off guard by a snake tail wrapping around her. Her nerves jolted, but with her parents right in front of her, she could only endure.
After knowing that Miss Li was a bit more honest, Fu Man finally curled her lips and looked at Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun in front of her with a faint gaze.
“This marriage was originally forced upon me by Lord Fu, but if I have to accept it, it’s not impossible.”
Zhuo Meijun asked somewhat urgently, “What do you want to do?”
“After Miss Li gives birth to my child, then I’ll consider it.”
After saying that, Fu Man finally turned her gaze towards the silent Li Yingxue beside her, thinking she would be happy. After all, humans and snakes cannot produce offspring, and this statement was equivalent to indefinitely postponing her marriage.
When she reaches the God Transformation stage and returns to the Holy Spirit Continent, then Li Yingxue can leave with the person she loves and break free from her family’s constraints.
However, Fu Man saw that Li Yingxue’s eyes first showed shock, then a hint of disgust, and finally, she coldly turned her face away, no longer looking at her.
Fu Man quietly observed the change in her expression, her lips gradually tightening with a serious look, unable to help but reflect on which words she had just said wrong.
At this moment, Li Huarong smiled and said, “We were just thinking the same thing.”
Zhuo Meijun added, “I can understand how you feel, Miss Fu. Li Yingxue is an SSS-level Omega, and she is the perfect match for you. Together, you will definitely produce top-tier Alphas and bring glory to your family.”
Hearing the words of these two people, Fu Man finally remembered that A Ci had once told her that the reason Li Yingxue got engaged to her and became her fiancee was because their parents and Lord Fu wanted a top-tier Alpha descendant to honor their ancestors and revitalize the family.
So just now, Li Yingxue gave herself a cold look… because she thinks she’s also the bad person forcing her to bear top Alpha’s children?
The snake tail unconsciously loosened, and just as she was about to soothe it a bit, who knew that as soon as it was released, Li Yingxue stood up and said coldly, “I’m full, you all chat.”
After finishing, without giving anyone else a chance to speak, Li Yingxue coldly averted her gaze from Fu Man as she got up from her seat.
Fu Man: “……”
Before long, the sound of a car starting up could be heard outside the door, and Li Yingxue left the Fu Family Villa.
Only Fu Man and Li Yingxue parents were left at the table.
Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun both had unsightly expressions on their faces, unable to maintain their composure.
Zhuo Meijun chuckled and said, “Miss Fu, don’t worry about it. Li Yingxue won’t cause any big trouble; she’ll definitely listen to us.”
Fu Man looked at Li Huarong again, and the latter nodded steadily.
Not knowing what she was thinking, she replied softly, “What if she disagrees?”
Zhuo Meijun gave her a reassuring look: “You can be 100% sure, she won’t disagree.”
Fu Man thought of Li Yingxue’s grandmother, the one who had always been threatened by her parents…
After Li Yingxue left, she kept driving, the words “After Miss Li gives birth to my child, then I’ll consider it” echoing repeatedly in her mind.
Sarcastically tugging at the corner of her mouth, she thought she was different from that “Fu Man”…
Just then, her phone received a message.
Her people told her that they had searched the entire Li family and couldn’t find her grandmother’s whereabouts.
Li Yingxue put aside all those irrelevant emotions and drove straight to the Li family home.
After getting off the car, she ran straight to the main gate to meet her people.
“How could she be missing?”
The other party shook their head: “With the time you gave me, I’ve checked all the rooms and haven’t found any trace of your grandmother. Why don’t you think again about any places we might have missed?”
“Nothing…”
Li Yingxue also shook her head. She had lived in this house since she was a child; there was no space left unexamined. All the places she knew were already marked on the blueprint.
“Could it be that your parents moved her before they left?”
Li Yingxue was still at a loss. To prevent her parents from finding out that she had sought help, she could only let her retreat this time.
“You go back first, they’re coming back soon.”
“Okay.”
After everyone left, Li Yingxue, holding the hard-earned copied key, stubbornly went to open the room where her grandmother had been living. She searched inside and out but still found no trace.
She went to her parents’ room again and searched in the same manner. In the end, she found nothing and looked at the vast Li family home with reluctance in her eyes. Taking advantage of the time before anyone returned, she quietly left.
On the other side, over an hour later, Li Huarong and Zhuo Meijun left under Fu Man’s watchful eyes.
Fu Man looked at the descending night and asked A Ci, “Has she not returned yet?”
A Ci shook her head: “Miss Li has been out all day and hasn’t returned.”
Fu Man turned around and went back to her bed to continue reading “Safe Driving Starts Here.”
Reading and reading, the corner of her eye unconsciously glanced at the empty side.
A secluded two-story villa nestled in the mountains.
This is the house that Li Yingxue secretly bought for her grandmother to live in. It features the highest-level security system and floor-to-ceiling windows that even bullets can’t penetrate. Located in a quiet and lush forest, the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the first and second floors provide the most comfortable and direct view of the changing seasons.
It was originally a good plan, but she still underestimated her parents’ meticulous thinking.
Li Yingxue sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa, drinking glass after glass of alcohol until she got herself drunk, but she still kept drinking.
Thinking again of that sentence, “After Miss Li gives birth to my child, then I’ll consider it,” her chest suddenly felt suffocated.
It turns out… everyone is trying to get their hands on my own uterus.
Even she, a snake monster, is no exception…
Her eyes felt swollen and sour. Li Yingxue tilted her head and downed a glass of wine, her red lips curling into a bitter smile.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight. Li Yingxue paused, her gaze slowly moving up from the snake’s tail to that face.
The wine glass in her hand was gripped tightly, and the next moment, she lifted it and threw it at the snake. The glass fell heavily to the ground in front of her.
“Get lost——”
