After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 150: Shen Youyou Has a Problem
Mu Chengsi leaned against the door, lowering her head to watch the moonlight spilling onto the floor. She looked over at the tightly closed door and frowned in dissatisfaction. “If you ask me, this is taking way too long. It’s been five or six minutes—how long does it take to grab something?”
Jiang Xi, noticing how irritable she was, spoke up to soothe her. “Don’t worry, maybe it’ll be done soon.”
Mu Chengsi let out a sarcastic laugh. “Soon, soon, soon—wait any longer and it’ll be morning. And why’s she hiding from us? Doesn’t trust us?”
She raised a brow as she glanced at Shen Youyou, who was sitting in a chair nearby, also waiting outside, and her tone carried an edge of mockery.
“Shen Youyou, didn’t you say you were the one who stole the heart? So why is it with Mary? And if you’re the one who took it, why are you being kept out too?”
They’d come into this building because Mary said she had the heart in her hands. But once inside, Mary made everyone wait outside, saying she’d go in alone to get it.
Everyone had found that hard to believe at the time, but when even Shen Youyou was locked out, it turned into pure surprise.
Wasn’t Shen Youyou the one who stole it in the first place? Now she was being shut out too?
Unbelievable.
Hearing that, Shen Youyou looked up and shot Mu Chengsi a cold glance.
Maybe it hit a sore spot, because her tone turned icy. “I gave it to Mary. That way she wouldn’t fall under Lina’s enchantment. Otherwise, how would I still be alive to see you? And it’s just getting something—Aunt Mary can handle it alone. Why should I go?”
Truthfully, she knew Mary didn’t trust her anymore—that’s why she avoided her. But hearing Mu Chengsi nitpick like that really got under her skin.
“Oh, I see.” Mu Chengsi gave an exaggerated fake smile. “Then after she gets it, what’s the plan to deal with Lina?”
She still had an NPC-issued mission to carry out. She didn’t actually want to do it, but for the sake of her persona, she had to put on a show in front of the audience.
Shen Youyou’s eyes flickered darkly at that question.
Killing Lina was actually quite easy. She was at her weakest when asleep, and with so few house servants left in the manor, all the players could gang up on her and take her down easily.
But Shen Youyou wasn’t about to say that out loud.
If it ended that simply... that’d be far too boring.
She lowered her eyes, licked her dry lips, a faint bloodlust flickering in her gaze.
She was going to use Lina’s name to squeeze every last bit of value out of these people, grow her own power bit by bit.
And then she’d torture Lina to death—pay back all the pain a thousand times over!
She clenched her fists, a twisted grin flashed across her face, and she could already picture Lina writhing in agony.
Just then, the rich scent of roses from the man next to her hit her nose.
The moment she smelled it, Shen Youyou’s grip on her clothes tightened, her mood flaring up, and her breathing grew rapid.
D*mn it, that scent was still so revolting—it made her want to puke!
She gritted her teeth and looked over. But when her eyes landed on the man’s cold and handsome profile, Shen Youyou involuntarily froze, her gaze slowly drifting across him.
The man had a high-bridged nose, sharp jawline, thin lips lightly pursed, raven lashes lowered slightly, and his brows faintly furrowed as if troubled. His aloof aura was clean and untouched.
She had to admit, Bo Jingmo just quietly sitting there without speaking really gave off an elegant, noble vibe.
And that man... was her boyfriend.
Obsession crept into Shen Youyou’s eyes. But when she remembered their current situation, her gaze turned into furious resentment.
Right—Bo Jingmo!
She still had to break that d*mn enchantment on him and make him fall in love with her again!
In this moment, Shen Youyou had completely forgotten how the man had coldly warned her at the door.
But of course—she figured Bo Jingmo was only acting like this because he was under Lina’s enchantment. Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat her like this.
She had it all planned out: once her power surpassed Lina’s, she’d bite Bo Jingmo herself, overwrite Lina’s mark, and make him hers.
And once the enchantment was broken, she’d make Lina watch as she and Bo Jingmo got together—then make Bo Jingmo kill her.
“Hahaha…”
Shen Youyou couldn’t help but laugh aloud at the thought. Her body trembled slightly from excitement, as if she could already picture the scene.
It would feel so damn good…
“Youyou, what are you laughing about?” Jiang Xi asked, curious after hearing her suddenly laugh. “Something making you that happy?”
Yes, of course.
Shen Youyou forced the smile off her lips and gave a small shake of her head. “No, nothing really. Just thinking about how we’re about to take Lina down. Makes me happy.”
Jiang Xi stared into her eyes, the light behind her glasses flickering slightly, and slowly said, “That’s definitely worth being happy about…”
This Shen Youyou… something’s really off about her.
She subtly stepped a little farther away from Shen Youyou, her gaze landing on the girl, quietly examining her.
Jiang Xi had actually been observing Shen Youyou this whole time.
Besides the torn-out diary entries from the start, the injuries on Shen Youyou didn’t really look like the result of long-term abuse. Some wounds were even fresh.
If Lina really was the one who hurt her, then it meant Lina had seen Shen Youyou recently.
But that didn’t make sense. Lina had been with them during the day yesterday, and needed rest at night. She wouldn’t have gone to find Shen Youyou.
Today during the day, Lina had been busy preparing for the banquet and doing her makeup. When they had breakfast, Steward Wang even said Lina was resting. No way she’d pick today to torment Shen Youyou.
Besides, if it was abuse… why didn’t Shen Youyou have a single injury on her face?
Other than some dust and minor scratches, there were no major wounds. Not even bruises.
Standing in the shadows, Jiang Xi’s mood sank deeper, just like the surrounding darkness.
There’s something wrong with Shen Youyou.
But right now, she didn’t have any proof. And if she kept playing the “bestie” role like this, things were bound to get dangerous.
Not just for her—for everyone.
Jiang Xi pushed her glasses up, her lips pressed tightly together, expression growing grave.
Could this instance… have two BOSSes?
She glanced at Wu Bei, but he was standing beside Shen Youyou, not easy to approach.
So she settled for second-best and turned to Mu Chengsi, who was nearby, reaching out to tug at her sleeve.
She wasn’t on bad terms with Mu Chengsi yet, so they could still talk.
Mu Chengsi was caught off guard by the tug and blinked, puzzled. “What is it?”
Jiang Xi stepped closer, smiling brightly as she looped her arm around Mu Chengsi’s. “Chengsi, I wanna go to the bathroom. It’s so late, and I’m a bit scared. Youyou’s not feeling well right now. Could you come with me? Please?”
Mu Chengsi: ?
Her expression froze. “Huh? …Go—go to the bathroom?”
Now?!
