Meanwhile.
Wen Ning asked the Bo Family's butler to arrange a car to take her back to the Wen Family home.
The butler asked no questions and immediately arranged for someone to bring around a black Maybach.
Normally, Wen Ning would have made sure to enjoy it to the fullest. This was her first time riding in a luxury car, after all.
But right now, she was in absolutely no mood!
Seeing her injuries, the driver fetched the first-aid kit from the car for her.
Wen Ning thanked him and silently tended to her wounds in the back seat.
The driver had only recently started working for the Bo Family, and this was his first time meeting the legendary young lady of the Wen Family.
The Bo Family's servants often discussed this young lady in private, saying she had a terrible temper, was spoiled and overbearing, and had unpredictable moods. She listened to no one but the eldest young master and would take her anger out on working people like them at the drop of a hat.
When the butler singled the driver out to take the young lady home, every one of his coworkers gave him a sympathetic look.
The driver had been treading on thin ice the entire way, terrified that he might say or do something wrong and displease her. Being hit by her would be the least of his worries; he really did not want to get fired right after starting the job.
Then he saw tears falling from her eyes in the rearview mirror. Panicking, he cautiously asked, "Miss, a-are you all right?"
Wen Ning was putting the final bandages on her wounds. At his words, she froze, only then realizing she was crying.
She shook her head. "I'm fine. It just hurts a little."
It did hurt badly, but more than that, she felt stifled and wronged.
She had inexplicably transmigrated into a novel, only to keep taking the blame for the original owner!
She was not the one who had beaten him, nor was she the one who had drugged him. She clearly had not done anything, yet she still had to endure that lunatic Bo Yan's suspicions and murderous intent!
She had truly had enough!
I'm done acting. Whoever the hell wants this role can have it. You psychotic villain, if you've got the guts, throw me straight into the back hills when you wake up. I'd rather become wild boar feed than eagerly play your simp ever again!
The more Wen Ning thought about it, the angrier she became, and the harder her tears fell.
Expressionless, she wiped her tears again and again. Finally, unable to hold back, she tossed aside the scissors in her hand and swore, "Fuck!"
The outburst frightened the driver so badly that he nearly slammed on the brakes. He drove the rest of the way with his heart in his throat.
Fortunately, the young lady did not make things difficult for him. When the car stopped smoothly outside the Wen Family villa, she even thanked him before leaving!
The driver immediately decided that rumors could not be trusted.
The young lady was clearly a very nice person. He had always been a good judge of character. He had secretly observed her in the rearview mirror several times along the way. Although she seemed to be in a bad mood, her eyes were clear, with a liveliness she could not conceal. She had a kind face and was nothing like the vicious person his coworkers had described.
Meanwhile, the kind-faced Wen Ning had already calmed down completely.
Whatever happened, she would lie low at the Wen Family home for now, so that lunatic would not throw her into the back hills to feed the wild boars as soon as he regained consciousness.
But she had made the decision to return to the Wen Family home so abruptly that, now she was at the gate, Wen Ning suddenly felt a little nervous.
The people living here were all the original owner's family. No matter how well she pretended, she was not the original owner, after all. She worried that the Wen Family would see through her.
As she fretted, a horn suddenly sounded behind her, startling Wen Ning so badly that she nearly jumped!
Turning around, Wen Ning saw a bright yellow Lamborghini stopped behind her. Its winglike door slid upward, and a young man climbed out of the driver's seat.
He looked to be around 188 centimeters tall and bore a fifty-to-sixty-percent resemblance to the original owner. He was the sort of handsome guy who would catch your eye even in a crowd.
The handsome guy sported a slightly parted textured fringe and a burgundy satin shirt, with all sorts of flashy jewelry around his neck and on his fingers. His outfit was outrageously showy, just like his sports car.
As soon as he got out, the handsome guy jogged toward her like a happy, silly dog dressed in flamboyant finery. "Sis, what brings you home?"
So this was the original owner's younger brother.
She had gone through the original owner's WeChat last night and gathered quite a bit of information.
The original owner's younger brother, Wen Jing, was five years her junior. He was twenty this year and still in school.
The original owner usually doted on her brother, and Wen Jing followed her lead in everything. Specifically-
If the original owner said she hated Bo Yan one day, that dimwit Wen Jing would take a group to cause trouble at the underground boxing arena where Bo Yan worked at night the very next day. In the end, he failed to beat Bo Yan up, got injured himself instead, and even scored a free one-day stay at the police station.
When the original owner complained that Bo Xubai only had eyes for that bitch Jiang Tingwan and not her, Wen Jing immediately went with his disreputable friends to threaten Jiang Tingwan. They even dressed like a bunch of creepy uncles to frighten her daughter, who was just over four years old. In the end, a passerby mistook them for human traffickers and called the police, earning them another day of free room and board at the police station.
Oh, right. If she remembered correctly, her best friend seemed to have mentioned that Wen Jing had gotten someone to procure the drugs used on Bo Yan and Jiang Tingwan...
And it was not just Wen Jing. The Wen parents also spoiled the original owner without any limits-
The original owner had kicked up a fuss about wanting to marry Bo Xubai. By then, Bo Xubai had already brought Jiang Tingwan back to the Bo Family home for some time, and the original owner had also married Bo Yan for Bo Xubai's sake.
Though already another man's wife, the original owner still could not accept it. After all that fuss, her mother could not bear to watch her daughter wash her face with tears all day, so she went straight to Jiang Tingwan, offered her a large sum of money, and told her to take her daughter far away from Bo Xubai.
Jiang Tingwan stubbornly refused. Her mother sneered. "You refuse the toast, so you'll drink the punishment wine."
She then turned around and taught Jiang Tingwan quite a lesson, including but not limited to making her lose her job and forcing her daughter to transfer schools, trying to drive Jiang Tingwan away from Bo Xubai and leave her without a foothold in Yanjing.
Later, her mother even hired people to kidnap Jiang Tingwan and her daughter. Jiang Tingwan's daughter nearly lost her life in that kidnapping.
Her father went further, using the Wen and Bo families' long-standing business relationship to pressure Bo Xubai's father into having the Bo Family fulfill the marriage agreement as soon as possible, so his precious daughter could divorce Bo Yan and marry Bo Xubai without delay.
Naturally, Bo Xubai refused to comply, even if it killed him.
The marriage between the two families' children had been arranged long ago. From the Wen Family's perspective, Bo Xubai had cheated during his engagement, and the Bo Family had broken their word first. Coupled with the Wen Family's extreme love for the original owner, this farce led her father to sever all business cooperation between the Wen and Bo families.
The Bo Family's stocks took a major hit, and Bo Xubai had no choice but to swallow his grievances and compromise. It was also at this point that Wen Ning's mother had Jiang Tingwan and her daughter kidnapped.
At this thought, Wen Ning sucked in a breath of cold air.
It really was a villain's mother opening the door for a villain-once the villain got home, the whole family turned out to be villains!
This was a family of villains through and through!
Upon receiving the news, Bo Xubai naturally rushed to the scene regardless of everything else and rescued his wife and daughter, but suffered serious injuries in the process.
Seeing his beloved son lying in the ICU, his father flew into a thunderous rage.
The weather turned cold, and the Wen Family went bankrupt.
Her mother was sent to prison, and her father died in a car accident while fleeing debt collectors. Before Bo Yan even had to lift a finger, the Wen Family had already ended up ruined, with its members dead or scattered.
Wen Ning was astonished that merely seeing the original owner's brother had brought to mind so much of the plot concerning her family.
Her best friend loved recommending things. Ever since this novel began serialization, she would come to Wen Ning to complain about the plot practically every day after reading the latest update.
Wen Ning had been busy with her project at the time. While her best friend talked on the other end, she would half-listen and occasionally murmur in agreement, just to keep her friend from talking into silence.
Who would have thought her memory was this good!
That's me for you!
Of course, it was also possible that encountering a key character had automatically unlocked her memories.
Just like the whipping plot-she had only remembered it after seeing Bo Yan's injuries and that whip.
And the vast majority of the events above had not happened yet.
The few things that had already happened were probably Wen Jing trying to teach Bo Yan a lesson for the original owner, only for Bo Yan to turn the tables and send him to the police station, and Wen Jing threatening Jiang Tingwan to stay away from Bo Xubai.
Wen Ning had pieced together those two incidents last night while going through the original owner's WeChat, from the chat history between her and her dimwit brother.
As for her father and mother, Wen Ning was not yet sure how far things had progressed on their end.
In short, no matter how far things had gone, she just wanted to stay alive-preferably while keeping her current identity as a rich young lady!
She had been a lowly workhorse in the real world. Among all the messes that had come one after another since she transmigrated, this young lady identity barely counted as good news!
Let me enjoy being rich first!
Anything that threatens my life as a rich person must be strangled in its cradle!
The villainous fate of the Wen Family came first!
For now, following the siblings' way of interacting that she had pieced together from last night's chat history, Wen Ning crossed her arms and lifted her chin. Looking haughty, but with an indulgent smile curling her lips, she said to Wen Jing, "What, do I have to report to you before coming home now? Getting pretty bold, aren't you, kid?"
Wen Jing was long used to his sister's barbs and grinned, baring his teeth. But soon, the smile on his face turned cold. "Sis, what happened to your neck? And your hands? Who bullied you?! Was it that bastard?! It was him, wasn't it! Just wait. I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!"
With that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to go beat someone up!
Even though he was not her own brother, being cared for like this still filled Wen Ning's heart with warmth.
It was just that this brother had something of a white phosphorus personality-one spark and he exploded.
She grabbed the silly boy by the back of his collar and hauled him back. "Stop, stop, stop. Who are you planning to teach a lesson?"
Wen Jing snapped hotheadedly, "Who else! That bastard, of course! Anyone who bullies my sister deserves to die!"
He really was a sister-protecting maniac.
Wen Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth.
But when she thought of how this boy, who talked about his sister all day and always seemed as happy as a dimwit whether anything was happening or not, would ultimately sink into misery and die, Wen Ning's heart grew much heavier.
She sighed and quickly explained, "It wasn't your brother-in-law. I accidentally got scratched while playing with a dog."
A lunatic dog, at that! A perverted dog! A big, stupid dog!
Wen Ning cursed up a storm inwardly, but wore a smile on her face.
She would start changing the fate of this brainless family of villains by creating an image of marital harmony!
