Returning to the Villain Omega's High School Days - Chapter 4

Xie Ning finished reading the entire book at top speed. The farther she read, the more she felt the blood in her body freeze. She was so furious she went cold all over, her eyes nearly splitting from rage.

Every single thing written about her in this book had truly happened, including her falling in love with Su Xingheng at first sight, including her beating Su Wan and causing her miscarriage, including her tragic second half of life. Even the way she had been tortured by debt until she no longer looked human matched the book’s description exactly.

She sank into enormous doubt and panic. Could it be that she was only a marionette? Did she not have independent consciousness or thoughts?

No. Something had to be wrong somewhere!

Xie Ning thought that a book was probably around a hundred fifty thousand words. It mainly told the life story of the chosen son of heaven, Su Xingheng. Its descriptions of Su Wan were more obscure, and as a side character of a side character, Xie Ning received even less space.

What could be confirmed was this: as long as something was described in the book, no matter what, it would happen.

But in the places the book did not describe, Xie Ning was completely independent and free.

For example, when Xie Ning had suddenly gone mad and beaten Su Wan, that had not been schizophrenia. That was fate demanding that she follow the book’s plot.

To give the opposite example, this book had never described the happiest period between Xie Ning and Su Wan. During that time, she had been her most normal self.

As for her ending, the book described it from Su Wan’s perspective.

The original text read:

Su Wan learned of Xie Ning’s death from Su Xingheng. She heard that Xie Ning had gone out and been hit and killed by a truck.

Su Xingheng smiled and said, “That scumbag is dead. You should be very happy, right? I heard the accident was tragic. She died on the spot. That’s a little too easy for someone like her.”

Su Wan asked expressionlessly, “Xie Ning never hurt you. Why do you talk about her like that?”

Su Xingheng found it boring. He had only wanted to see what kind of reaction Su Wan would have, but he had not expected her to have no reaction at all.

After he left, Su Wan sat in front of her desk, facing a blank Word document, unable to type a single word for the entire day.

She knew that the day of the accident happened to be Xie Ning’s birthday.

Not long before that, she had even run into Xie Ning by chance.

If only she had not said such harsh, cutting words at the time.

When she read this passage in the book, Xie Ning’s furious mood eased slightly. She stroked those lines with her fingers and thought, Su Wan really was kind and gentle.

But gentle people were always hurt by this world.

Su Wan, like her, was only a side character in this book. All her misfortunes existed to set off the protagonist’s brilliance and greatness. Even so, Su Wan had never once been defeated.

She climbed upward step by step. After leaving Xie Ning, she still struggled desperately in the mud, endured in silence for many years, and finally launched her revenge…

Because her setting was the greatest villain in this book, Su Xingheng’s archenemy, the only person capable of dealing this chosen son of heaven a fatal blow.

According to the book’s plot, after Xie Ning died, Su Wan finally decided not to wait anymore. She laid everything bare in front of Su Xingheng directly and told him the following things, each one enough to deal Su Xingheng a fatal blow.

The first thing: among Su Xingheng’s three wives, the sons born by his first wife and second wife were not his. Su Wan had injected them with sperm using a syringe.

Why could she be certain that the children they carried were not Su Xingheng’s?

Because she had drugged Su Xingheng too. Oral contraceptives for Alphas, mixed into his food every day.

As for his youngest wife, because she had never hurt Su Wan, Su Wan spared only her.

She had given birth to two daughters for Su Xingheng, and two years earlier, she had given birth to another son, but Su Wan had switched the baby at the hospital.

Su Xingheng trembled with rage. He was tied to a chair by Su Wan, tape stuck over his mouth, hating Su Wan so much his teeth clenched.

Since Su Wan had decided to lay everything bare, she was not merely trying to provoke him. She held a knife in her hand, its cold gleam reflected in her eyes, full of killing intent.

At that moment, Su Xingheng had no idea that Su Wan had long hated him so much she wanted to kill him ten thousand times over.

That was why she had gone to such pains to hide herself, to digest and accept the malice of the outside world, to endure unnecessary harm, to wrap herself in a sheep’s coat, and only bare her fangs at the final moment. She only wanted to kill Su Xingheng with one fatal strike. But she still had many things to lay bare in front of him.

She spoke of the second thing, which concerned the Su family’s distribution of assets. She was very satisfied with the fact that Su Xingheng had not allowed her to hold family shares, because she had already shorted the Su family’s stock. As the stock price crashed, Su Xingheng would go bankrupt overnight and be left penniless.

This matter was exactly the same as how Su Xingheng had schemed against the Xie family back then.

When the Su family faced a crisis, they had survived it by having Su Wan marry into the Xie family and receiving the Xie family’s financial support. Later, once the Su family rose up again, Su Xingheng completely forgot about that.

Old Man Xie had once been very willing to support the Su family. If Xie Ning had not differentiated into an Alpha, he would have hoped even more for Su Xingheng to become his ideal son-in-law.

Su Xingheng was someone who believed himself to be righteous. When Old Man Xie confided in him and spoke about the management problems in the Xie family’s enterprise, Su Xingheng heard that the management was this chaotic, and there was even financial fraud? A garbage company like this still had stock worth that much? He felt that the Xie family would collapse sooner or later, and immediately sold the information to a short-selling institution.

After that, the Xie family never recovered. Xie Ning also went from having a net worth of several hundred million to being penniless.

Oh, right. If the book had not described it in detail, Xie Ning still would not have known that Su Xingheng had been the one who sold out the Xie family.

Su Wan had known, but she had not told Xie Ning.

The third thing Su Wan spoke of was about Liu Ya.

The reason she hated Su Xingheng so much, the reason she had endured by his side for so many years, was to avenge her younger sister Liu Ya.

In terms of blood relations, Liu Ya was not Su Wan’s biological younger sister. She was the sixth child born to Su Wan’s adoptive parents, but she was the best gift given to Su Wan.

Liu Ya was two years younger than Su Wan. Back when Liu Ya still could not walk, it was Su Wan who took care of her. A child holding a child, humming lullabies for the child, feeding the child milk powder. Sometimes, when Su Wan accidentally fell while holding her, the two children would cry together. When Liu Ya saw her crying, she would stop crying.

Because of Su Wan, Liu Ya came to Rongcheng and met Su Xingheng. Then, like every girl who came to know Su Xingheng, she began to fall into a mad, unstoppable infatuation.

How could a rustic girl who had run out of the countryside possibly be noticed by a protagonist like Su Xingheng?

And yet, Su Xingheng really did have a favorable impression of her.

He praised Liu Ya for being pure and innocent and gave her gifts. And so, a seed destined never to grow into a great tree sprouted in Liu Ya’s heart.

Fifteen-year-old Liu Ya spent all day thinking about how to please Su Xingheng, how to shed the rustic air clinging to her and squeeze into Su Xingheng’s circle. She became more and more beautiful, and later, Su Xingheng’s terrible friends set their eyes on her.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were underage. You don’t look fifteen at all.”

After it happened, the person who violated her said such words lightly.

Liu Ya had been marked, and at that time, she had not even differentiated yet!

“Yaya, my friend did something wrong, but he was drunk at the time. Under those circumstances, you should be able to understand, right?”

Su Xingheng’s words left Liu Ya at a complete loss. She froze for a long time before finally saying:

“But… I, I… I thought… Brother Xingheng, aren’t we dating?”

If they were dating, Su Xingheng should have been angry. He should have felt sad for her. He should have sought justice for her. How could he… persuade her to understand?

Understand?!

Liu Ya’s entire world collapsed.

Su Xingheng revealed a strange expression and finally said, “Sorry, Yaya. I didn’t think you would see it that way…”

Su Xingheng gave her all kinds of little gifts, waited for her on her way home from school, and took her out to play during holidays. Even that fake younger sister in the Su family secretly got jealous. To Liu Ya, who had little experience of the world, everything Su Xingheng had done at the time was him pursuing her.

She had never expected that in the end, Su Xingheng would plead for his terrible friend and ask Liu Ya to forgive that bastard.

How could that be possible?!

But… he was Su Xingheng.

He was the Su Xingheng Liu Ya loved most.

Had she not worked so hard precisely so she could be with Su Xingheng?!

Being able to stand before him and look up at this godlike man was already enough to satisfy her.

She could only blame herself for overestimating herself. A mere mortal, daring to covet a god?!

Liu Ya was so despairing. She did not dare tell anyone what had happened to her, nor did she dare tell Su Wan. It was only half a month later, when Su Wan learned from a teacher that Liu Ya had dropped out, that Su Wan realized something serious had happened.

At that time, Su Wan was preparing for the college entrance exam. She took leave and rushed back to their hometown to find Liu Ya, held Liu Ya’s hand, and told her, “This should be reported to the police.”

She spent the entire night trying to persuade Liu Ya. Before dawn the next morning, she took Liu Ya into an unlicensed car back to Rongcheng.

When Liu Ya finally mustered her courage and followed Su Wan into the police station, what she heard was Su Xingheng defending his friend in front of the officer—

“My friend didn’t know. He thought the girl was already an adult. Besides, that girl has a very casual personality and usually accepts gifts from people all the time, so naturally he thought the girl was willing.”

“And she didn’t refuse at all, okay? She usually dresses very… how should I put it, very slutty. What fifteen-year-old dresses like that? My sister wears her school uniform every day. It’s really hard not to suspect she was seducing people. These are photos from when we went out together. Look, she even takes the initiative to lean against men.”

“…”

The door to the interrogation room was open, and just like that, Liu Ya heard Su Xingheng’s words without any warning.

She did not dare take another step forward, and she refused to let Su Wan interrupt them. She only clutched Su Wan’s hand tightly, tears pouring down like columns, and said in a choked, hoarse voice, “Let’s go.”

Only later did Su Wan learn that on that night, Liu Ya had mistaken that man for Su Xingheng, which was why she had not refused him.

She had drunk alcohol and thought it was only an ordinary sexual encounter. She had never expected that the other person would forcibly mark her.

Liu Ya stopped speaking after that. She only told Su Wan what had happened to her, but the news still somehow spread on its own. Everyone was there to laugh at her.

“I couldn’t stand her for ages. She’s only fifteen, but she dresses like an Omega in heat. If this isn’t her fault, whose fault is it?!”

“Young Master Su is unlucky too. He was clearly only supporting a girl from an impoverished mountain area, yet she almost latched onto him. Good thing the one who slept with her wasn’t Young Master Su!”

“Ugh, serves her right!”

Not only that, Liu Ya’s gland had been damaged because she was forcibly marked. If she did not undergo surgery and treatment in time, it would result in her being unable to differentiate and permanently losing her fertility.

And so, Su Wan stayed with Liu Ya at the hospital for the surgery, keeping watch beside her bed while doing practice questions and preparing for exams.

After the surgery, Liu Ya asked to return to their hometown. Su Wan did not want to go back and face her adoptive parents. After trying to persuade her several times to no avail, she could only let her leave.

This became the thing Su Wan regretted most.

Su Wan failed to get into Tsinghua or Peking University and went to the best university in the province instead. Liu Ya stayed in the mountains for several years, and when she returned to Rongcheng again, she had become a completely different person.

Her recovery from surgery had not gone well, and she had dropped out of school. In the countryside, she could not do anything. Her family could only falsely report her age and arrange blind dates for her.

After many failures, her family realized that Liu Ya had no hope left, so they began to coax and deceive her, making her go with the village pimp.

Getting married in the countryside cost a lot of money. There were still several older brothers in the family who had not married. If they could earn even a little, then they would earn what they could.

Just like that, after drifting through several years in a daze, Liu Ya fell ill.

“Go ask your sister to borrow money. You have the best relationship with her, don’t you? Isn’t she very rich now that she’s in the Su family?”

In truth, Su Wan had earned all her own living expenses during university through part-time jobs.

The Su family paid her tuition, but if Su Wan did not open her mouth to ask for it, they would always “forget” to transfer her other living expenses.

Even so, she still used her scholarship to pay Liu Ya’s hospitalization fees, then borrowed some money from friends to gather enough for Liu Ya’s treatment.

If it still was not enough, then she could only ask Su Xingheng for it.

The reason Liu Ya had become like this could not be separated from Su Xingheng.

But she did not know that before she made this decision, Liu Ya had already called Su Xingheng.

She had not asked Su Xingheng for anything.

She had only begged Su Xingheng to come see her once.

“Sure. After all, we were friends once,” Su Xingheng agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ya climbed to the hospital rooftop, went over the railing, and fell.
