I’m A Scumbag Woman—I Flirt, But Never Marry [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 3

Despite the pain in her hand, Zhi Zhi aggressively raised her high heel and hurled it at Gu Shuofeng!

“Who are you trying to fool with that innocent act, bitch?! You had the nerve to steal someone else’s husband, so have the nerve not to hide! I’ve never seen anyone so shameless!”

Gu Shuofeng truly didn’t dodge.

She glanced at the bath mat beneath Wang Jianfei’s feet and quietly extended one foot. Using her toes, she pushed the mat forward until it formed a slight ridge, then hooked it backward with lightning speed!

The mat abruptly shifted, causing Wang Jianfei to lose his balance and pitch forward toward Zhi Zhi and Xu Tinglan.

The sequence sounded slow when described, but everything happened in the blink of an eye.

All they saw was Zhi Zhi’s high heel flying from her hand at the exact moment Wang Jianfei lost his footing and lunged forward.

Bang!

The high heel struck the bull’s-eye, smashing squarely into Wang Jianfei’s barely passable face.

Wang Jianfei cried out in pain and crashed into Zhi Zhi. Xu Tinglan instinctively reached out to support her but failed to catch her. The impact also sent Xu Tinglan staggering, nearly knocking her flat onto her back.

With a heavy thud, the back of Zhi Zhi’s head struck the floor. Even with the carpet cushioning her fall, the pain scrunched up her delicate face. Worse still, Wang Jianfei’s hundred-plus pounds of dead weight pressed heavily on top of her, making her ribs ache.

Zhi Zhi had been a pampered little princess since childhood. When had she ever suffered such a terrible loss?

She was in pain and furious, yet she couldn’t even get up. In her rage, she stopped caring about her image and grabbed Wang Jianfei by the hair, kicking, clawing, and scratching him. If he hadn’t disgusted her so much, she would have bitten him several times as well.

“You disgusting thing! Get off me!”

Wang Jianfei wanted to get up, but although Zhi Zhi’s hands were small, her grip was incredibly strong. She clutched his soft, short hair as tightly as two crab claws. The moment he tried to rise, she nearly ripped off his entire scalp. The pain contorted his face, leaving him no choice but to remain awkwardly crouched on his hands and knees.

“Let go of me first!”

“Get up first!”

“How am I supposed to get up if you won’t let go?”

“Why should I let go if you won’t get up?!”

Wang Jianfei nearly coughed up blood in frustration.

Supporting himself with one hand, he used the other to grab Zhi Zhi’s wrist. He pulled her hand away with all his strength, while Zhi Zhi pulled his hair even harder. Enduring the excruciating pain, Wang Jianfei finally managed to wrench her hand away—but two large clumps of hair were forcibly torn from his scalp.

“Hiss! Fuck!”

He was a department manager, after all. When had he ever been in such a miserable state?!

Wang Jianfei struggled to his feet and rubbed his stinging scalp. When he turned around, he met Gu Shuofeng’s mocking gaze.

He immediately felt utterly humiliated. Shame and anger consumed him, and flames of fury surged straight to his head.

Xu Tinglan was bending down to help Zhi Zhi up. Without caring about anything else, Wang Jianfei strode forward, raised his fist, and swung it directly at Xu Tinglan’s temple!

Zhi Zhi caught sight of it from the corner of her eye and hurriedly tried to shield Xu Tinglan. But she hadn’t even managed to stand up herself—how could she possibly protect her? The moment she tried to exert any strength, her half-risen body dropped heavily back onto the floor.

“Watch out!”

Zhi Zhi’s alarmed cry was followed by a tremendous bang!

“Ugh!”

Wang Jianfei let out a muffled groan and crashed hard onto his side.

Forget getting up—he was in so much pain that he couldn’t even whimper. Clutching the side of his waist where he had been kicked, he curled into a ball like a leech twisting over an open flame.

Zhi Zhi was stunned.

Still seated on the floor with one hand resting on Xu Tinglan’s arm, she completely forgot to get up. Her small, single-lidded eyes widened into perfect circles, and she even forgot to blink.

Xu Tinglan remained dazed for a long moment, unable to understand why the mistress had suddenly attacked Wang Jianfei. Only when she felt the weight against her arm did she remember to help Zhi Zhi to her feet.

Gu Shuofeng withdrew the leg she had used to kick Wang Jianfei and released the hem of her bathrobe, which she had held down to keep herself from being exposed.

Beautiful tears filled her eyes.

She slipped into character in a single second.

“Wang Jianfei! I devoted myself to you wholeheartedly, and this is how you treat me?!”

Still curled up on the floor, Wang Jianfei had yet to recover from the blow.

He had first fallen headfirst from the bed, then endured Zhi Zhi’s beating for quite some time, and now his poor kidney had suffered such a vicious kick. Even a strong, robust man would struggle after being tormented repeatedly like this, let alone a weakling like him, who sat in an office all day and only looked strong on the outside.

Wang Jianfei panted for a long while before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.

“Wh-what do you mean?”

Hadn’t he been protecting her from beginning to end? How had he wronged her badly enough to deserve such a vicious kick?

Gu Shuofeng thrust out one slender, jade-white finger and pointed fiercely at Xu Tinglan.

“Who. Is. She?!”

Wang Jianfei was dumbfounded.

Did she even need to ask?

That was obviously his wife!

Hadn’t she known all along that he was married?

“Why aren’t you answering me? Who is she?!”

Clutching his waist, Wang Jianfei forced himself into a sitting position. Irritation rose inside him, and he snapped impatiently, “Who else could she be? She’s my wife!”

At that answer, Gu Shuofeng’s lips visibly trembled. Her eyes reddened at a speed discernible to the naked eye. A droplet of water slid from the ends of her damp hair and down her cheek, looking like a tear while not truly being one.

“You already have a wife, so why did you come after me?! Do you think I, Chen Xiyao, am someone you can toy with however you please?!”

What?!

The room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone froze.

Xu Tinglan and Zhi Zhi exchanged glances. Zhi Zhi looked utterly astonished, while obvious surprise appeared on Xu Tinglan’s face as well.

Wang Jianfei had no idea what kind of performance she was putting on. He instinctively retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t you know from the beginning that I had a wife?!”

“I knew from the beginning?”

Gu Shuofeng suddenly laughed, her smile bitter and desolate. She drew a deep breath before turning and walking toward the bed.

She picked up the short skirt from the floor and bent down to put it on. Before she could slip even one foot into it, however, she stopped.

She raised her head and glanced at Wang Jianfei, who was using the wall to pull himself upright. Her grip on the short skirt tightened until the fabric bunched between her fingers. Its folds resembled curling lips, silently mocking her stupidity.

“It’s dirty. I don’t want it anymore.”

She loosened her hand, allowing the skirt to fall back onto the floor.

Wang Jianfei frowned at her. He knew perfectly well that she was saying the skirt had become dirty, yet under her unwavering stare, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was actually calling him dirty.

Gu Shuofeng gave another self-mocking smile. After gathering her shoulder bag and phone, she slung the bag over her shoulder and headed for the door with nothing but the bathrobe wrapped around her body.

When she passed Xu Tinglan, she paused.

Raising her eyes, she softly said, “I’m sorry.”

Then she lowered her lashes. A single tear welled from the corner of her eye and silently rolled down her cheek the instant she turned to leave. It shimmered faintly in the light and happened to fall within Xu Tinglan’s slightly widened gaze.

Gu Shuofeng opened the door, then turned back to glance at the three people inside.

The reversal had come so suddenly that none of them knew how to react. They could only stare at her in unison.

Her lips moved slightly, tears still glistening in her eyes.

Then she turned and left.

The instant she turned away, the tears disappeared.

Gu Shuofeng curled her lips into a wild, unrestrained smile.

What could possibly be more satisfying than watching the mistress publicly humiliate the scumbag?

This reversal would increase the female lead’s Satisfaction Value while making her hate Gu Shuofeng a little less.

Perfect.

Ding!

A cold mechanical voice sounded inside her mind.

【Female lead’s Satisfaction Value +5. Total Satisfaction Value: 20. Please continue working hard.】

This was the third notification she had received tonight.

The first had sounded when Zhi Zhi pulled Wang Jianfei’s hair.

The second had sounded after Gu Shuofeng kicked Wang Jianfei and demanded to know who the female lead was.

Together with the notification triggered by her recent apology, that made exactly three.

Of those three increases, the second had been the largest, adding a full ten points.

It seemed she would exceed tonight’s target.

She hadn’t even delivered the little surprise she had prepared for the female lead yet.
