The Whole World Is Waiting for Them to Divorce [Transmigration Into a Book] - Chapter 13
Si Yu said firmly to Little B, “She is definitely not the heroine Liang Yufei.”
Little B: “Why?”
Si Yu: “You’re asking me why??? Shouldn’t I be asking you? Has the heroine also been transmigrated into by someone?”
Little B: “Please wait… analyzing data, scan complete, analysis complete. Yes, she is also a transmigrator.”
Little B’s voice imitated a human voice, but it always stayed in the same tone. It could mechanically state the result, but Si Yu could not remain calm.
Sure enough, she had guessed right!
From the first time they met, she had felt something was wrong with the heroine. A character setting could collapse once, after all, no one was perfect. But collapsing again and again, and collapsing so ridiculously—that was no simple matter of a character setting breaking down.
The heroine Liang Yufei was beautiful and kindhearted. She cared for the weak and respected her elders. Yet the person in front of her had actually pushed a four-year-old child to the ground just because of a few drops of drool?
Her strong sixth sense told her there was something wrong with the heroine.
Reality proved that her sixth sense was extremely accurate.
She hurriedly asked Little B, “Was she arranged by you guys too? What’s her mission?”
Little B: “This world only arranged for you to be a transmigrator. I don’t understand her situation. Sowwy.”
Si Yu: “What does that mean?”
Little B: “It means she might have been arranged by another transmigration system, which would make her your competitor. There is also another possibility: she is a bug who accidentally entered this world.”
Si Yu: “………………”
Wasn’t this freaking scamming people?!?!
Little B: “You need to be careful of her.”
She had originally thought that winning over Lu Xi was already difficult enough, and now they had actually given her an unknown bug??? Si Yu wanted to go on strike right this second.
“Sister Xiao Yu.”
A short little hand touched her face. The child’s young, tender voice pulled her back to reality.
Si Yu lifted Xiao Bao higher in her arms, her complicated gaze sweeping over the “Liang Yufei” in front of her from head to toe. Working hard to steady herself, she said, “Xiao Bao, this pretty sister is weird. We won’t play with her.”
“Mm!” Xiao Bao nodded like he was pounding garlic, pouting as he said, “She made me hurt so bad. I won’t play with her.”
Si Yu planted a loud kiss on his chubby little face and carried Xiao Bao back.
Old Madam Lu still had not woken up. The house remained quiet, and the housekeeper was mopping the floor.
Lu Xi sat on the luxurious European-style sofa reading a financial magazine, her long legs crossed, her posture lazy. Her head was slightly lowered, revealing her exquisite face and tempting swan-like neck.
“Sister Xi Xi!” Xiao Bao called excitedly.
Lu Xi looked over at the sound. Infected by the little fellow’s innocent smile, the corners of her lips lifted very slightly. “Xiao Bao.”
That smile was very faint, like a snow lotus blooming on the Tianshan Mountains, stunning heaven and earth.
Si Yu was a little dazed by the sight. When she met Lu Xi’s gaze, she coughed softly, lowered her voice, and said, “Xiao Bao, Grandma is resting. Let’s keep our voices down.”
Xiao Bao hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands and nodded obediently.
The little guy was not even five years old yet, but he was sturdy and solid. After holding him for a while, Si Yu could no longer carry him, so she placed him beside Lu Xi and shook out her arms.
Lu Xi put away the magazine. When she turned her head and discovered that some dried grass was stuck to Xiao Bao’s clothes, she asked, “Did you go rolling on the lawn again?”
Xiao Bao shook his head repeatedly. “Xiao Bao fell down.”
“Fell down?” Lu Xi quickly asked him, “Where did you fall? Does it hurt?”
“I fell on the lawn.” Xiao Bao’s eyes darted around, then he saw Liang Yufei. Pointing at her angrily, he said, “It was that bad sister. The first time, she bumped into me. The second time, she pushed me.”
Liang Yufei had just entered when someone accused her on the spot. Her steps came to an abrupt halt.
Lu Xi’s phoenix eyes swept over, her gaze slightly cold, her tone no longer as gentle as before. “You pushed Xiao Bao?”
Liang Yufei was intimidated by her gaze. Her face panicked as she stammered an explanation. “I didn’t know he was behind me. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“The first time might not have been on purpose. Do you dare say the second time wasn’t?” Si Yu coolly added another stab.
Xiao Bao gave a milky “hmph,” hugged Lu Xi’s hand, and said aggrievedly, “She said Xiao Bao drools and is so gross. Sister Xi Xi, is Xiao Bao gross?”
As if dissatisfied that Liang Yufei would say such ugly words to a child, Lu Xi frowned and glared at Liang Yufei with knife-like eyes. Then she lowered her gaze. Looking at Xiao Bao, whose face was full of expectation and caution, her tone returned to gentleness. “Xiao Bao is very cute.”
Xiao Bao happily giggled, knelt on the sofa, and gave her a heavy kiss on the face with a loud “mua,” leaving it all wet with drool.
Si Yu thought: Oh no, the child might get hit!
Before she could rush over and carry Xiao Bao away, she saw Lu Xi draw a tissue and unhurriedly wipe the drool from her face. Then she said to Liang Yufei, who was standing stiffly at the door, too uneasy to move forward, “Apologize to Xiao Bao.”
Liang Yufei’s eyes widened in horror.
Why was Lu Xi so gentle to Xiao Bao, and even fairly polite to Si Yu, yet so cold only toward her? Liang Yufei felt extremely upset. She was a little afraid of Lu Xi’s gaze. Her hands clenched into fists behind her back, and after biting her teeth, she said, “I’m sorry.”
Xiao Bao puffed out his chest and said very magnanimously, “Our teacher says that when you do something wrong, you have to admit your mistake, and then you’re still a good child. All right, I forgive you.”
Si Yu watched the whole show with her arms folded, then slowly said, “Since Xiao Bao has forgiven you, come inside. Our family doesn’t lack door gods, so stop standing there blocking the way.”
A flash of resentment passed through Liang Yufei’s eyes as she looked at Si Yu, vanishing in an instant.
Lu Xi had not even said anything, so what right did Si Yu have to speak to her in the posture of the host of this house?
Didn’t Lu Xi hate this woman? Why didn’t she correct her when she said “our family”?
The more Liang Yufei thought, the worse she felt. Today, she had hit walls everywhere. She really could not stay in the Lu residence any longer. Reluctantly, she looked at Lu Xi, only to discover that Lu Xi was not looking at her. Her throat choked up, and she turned and ran away.
Lu Xi was lowering her head, cleaning the dried grass off herself as if handling some important document, her expression focused. Sensing an unusual gaze, she slowly raised her head.
“What are you looking at?”
Si Yu met her gaze and said openly, “Looking at you.”
Lu Xi: “…”
Because this was the first time Si Yu had seen Lu Xi with such warmth, she could not help looking a few more times.
“I remember you seem to have mysophobia,” Si Yu said. “Xiao Bao kissed you, but you actually didn’t get angry.”
“Why would she get angry? Sister Xi Xi said Xiao Bao is cute,” Xiao Bao cut in.
Lu Xi smiled faintly and continued cleaning off the grass. In an understated tone, she said, “Grandma likes Xiao Bao very much.”
It seemed like a sentence with no beginning or end, but Si Yu understood it.
Because Grandma liked Xiao Bao, Lu Xi also cared for him out of affection for Grandma and did not dislike him.
Si Yu could not help wondering, “Grandma likes me too. Why don’t I see you liking me?”
Lu Xi’s gaze swept over her bright, beautiful face. She paused, then struck right at the heart. “Grandma likes Yuan Qiao. You’re only a substitute.”
Si Yu really was a substitute, so she did not get angry. She exclaimed softly, “You mean you like Yuan Qiao? My god, are your wealthy-family relationships really this messy?!”
Lu Xi’s expression suddenly turned strange.
“Did I actually guess right?” Si Yu covered her mouth in shock.
Lu Xi wore an expression that clearly said, “What nonsense are you talking about?” and pressed her lips together, refusing to speak.
Si Yu was deeply gloomy.
She had not been joking. She was genuinely curious.
The novel had never mentioned Yuan Qiao, so it was not impossible that Lu Xi had once liked Yuan Qiao.
Could Yuan Qiao suddenly come back one day and rekindle an old romance with Lu Xi?
OMG, that would be way too melodramatic.
Si Yu shook her head, clearing the messy thoughts from her mind, and sighed soundlessly.
One Liang Yufei was already troublesome enough. Why was she still thinking about wealthy-family secrets?
Her gaze moved toward the door. Liang Yufei was already nowhere to be seen.
Liang Yufei fled from the Lu residence in a sorry state and stopped at the hedge outside the villa, looking around blankly.
Her goal was to get close to Lu Xi. Why had she run?
Lu Xi had been cold to her several times, and after suffering repeated setbacks, she had somewhat retreated.
She was afraid, but also unwilling.
When she woke up and discovered that she had arrived in an unfamiliar world and become the heroine Liang Yufei from the novel The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me, she had been lost and afraid.
No one had told her what to do.
It was not until Lu Wei brought her back to the Lu family, and she saw the dazzlingly beautiful Lu Xi, that she finally found her goal.
From now on, she was Liang Yufei!
Before transmigrating into the book, Liang Yufei had grown up in a poor family. Her parents and grandparents favored boys over girls. She never had enough to eat, never had any pocket money, and slept in a storage room that could only fit a single bed. She woke early and slept late every day doing housework, living in misery.
Every day, she dreamed of escaping that painful home. She had never imagined it would finally come true!
She had just finished reading that novel, so she knew that the heroine Liang Yufei would ultimately win Best Actress for television and have a smooth star path. Not only that, she would also marry Lu Xi, the beautiful CEO of Guangying Entertainment!
She had become Liang Yufei. The Best Actress title was hers, Lu Xi was hers, and the hundred-billion family fortune was hers too! She would eventually become an enviable wealthy madam!
She worked hard to get close to Lu Xi, wanting to gain Lu Xi’s favor, but why was Lu Xi so cold?
Was it because the plot had not developed to that point yet?
Had she been too anxious?
It was fine. She could wait.
But the thought that Lu Xi’s attitude toward Si Yu was even better than toward her made Liang Yufei feel terribly stifled.
In the novel, Si Yu was a vicious female supporting character. She had harmed Liang Yufei several times, was loathed by Lu Xi, and in the end, the two divorced. But why could she not see even the slightest dissatisfaction from Lu Xi toward Si Yu? Lu Xi was actually willing to teach Si Yu how to swim. What was going on?
Her phone ringtone interrupted her thoughts.
Seeing that the caller ID showed Lu Wei’s name, Liang Yufei adjusted her emotions and pressed answer. “Wei Wei.”
“Yufei, why did you leave?”
As if she had suffered a heaven-shaking grievance, Liang Yufei cried in a fake, affected manner, “Your family doesn’t seem to welcome me, so I could only leave.”
“Was it that woman Si Yu bullying you again?!”
“She… she’s so scary. Wei Wei, what should I do?”
Lu Wei immediately made a decision. “Where are you? I’ll come find you.”
Liang Yufei was almost dizzy from being roasted by the sun before she saw Lu Wei come out. She went up to her with soft sobs. “Wei Wei.”
Lu Wei grabbed her. “Let’s go in and talk.”
“I’m not going.” Liang Yufei bit her lower lip hard and said, “Si Yu slandered me, saying I seduced your sister and that I’m a mistress. I really can’t stand that kind of humiliation. I’d better not go in.”
“A mistress? She’s talking bullshit!” Lu Wei cursed. “I know your character better than anyone. What right does she have to slander you?”
Liang Yufei said timidly, “Will you help me?”
“You’re my best friend. Of course I’ll help you!” Lu Wei could not stand seeing her wronged. After swearing this solemnly, she suddenly thought of something and hesitated. “But I went to my sister last week and told her to hurry up and divorce Si Yu. She said…”
Liang Yufei could not hold back her joy. “When did she say she’d divorce?”
“She said she won’t divorce for now.”
Liang Yufei’s smile froze. “Why won’t she divorce?”
“Because my grandma mistook Si Yu for Qiao Qiao. My sister is afraid that divorcing Si Yu will stimulate Grandma and worsen her illness.”
Liang Yufei’s legs went weak, and she nearly failed to stand. She murmured, “Then what am I supposed to do?”
Lu Wei hurriedly supported her. After thinking, she comforted her, “Don’t worry. They’ll divorce sooner or later. You’ll have your chance eventually.”
Liang Yufei bit the tip of her tongue. The sting calmed her down. She took a deep breath and said, “Okay.”
In the novel, the heroine and Lu Xi met on set. Lu Xi saved the heroine and developed affection for her.
The plot had already been arranged. When that day came, she would definitely win Lu Xi over!
She was the heroine. One day, she would step on Si Yu, this vicious female supporting character, and grind her hard underfoot!
