Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 386 A Life of Being Conquered

"It's still the same as always, barely managing to keep up with the updates." Yu Liu looked a little worried, but the current situation was already much better. At least she was now able to barely keep up with the original owner's promise of two updates a week. It's just that the story might not be as good as the original owner had envisioned, but she had done her best.

"That's good. Take a good rest these next few days; you've got dark circles under your eyes." Tang Shuai pointed to his eyes and said with some concern.

"I understand." Yu Liu nodded obediently. She had been rushing to finish her manuscript these past few days, and she couldn't sleep well. Overworking her brain naturally made her look unwell.

"I need to get to work now. Do as you please."

After finishing her meal, Yu Liu headed towards the study. Before she arrived, Tang Shuai had already spent some time trying to win over the original owner of this body and was quite familiar with her; he had already thoroughly explored the entire residence.

"it is good."

Tang Shuai gently agreed, watching Yu Liu disappear into the study and close the door. The gentle expression on his face vanished in an instant.

The system spoke in his mind.

It's been a month now, and the favorability rating hasn't increased at all. It rose very quickly in the beginning, and Tang Shuai thought this strategy mission would be easy to complete, but now, the real challenge is finally looming.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

His eyes were fixed on the study door, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The small rooms fell silent instantly.

Yu Liu sat in front of the computer, constantly revising the figure she had drawn, and time passed by second by second.

"Boom boom boom——"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the quiet little room.

Tang Shuai frowned. It seemed that there was only one person who could come here at this time.

The knocking stopped after a few times. The person outside waited a moment, and seeing that no one opened the door for her, she knocked again.

Yu Liu was in the study, the door was tightly closed, and the sounds outside were not very clear. In addition, she was so focused on painting that she did not notice the movement outside the door at all.

Seeing that the knocking wouldn't stop unless he opened the door, Tang Shuai had no choice but to get up and open the door.

The person outside the door was indeed the one he had in mind.

The other person was wearing a bright red coat, had long curly hair, and wore exquisite makeup. Their bright red lips were casually curled, and their narrow eyes were half-closed, giving them a scrutinizing look.

The other person's every move exuded elegance, but their raised chin and gaze made one feel very uncomfortable.

This person is none other than Wang Jing, the adoptive mother of Yu Liu's current identity.

"Oh~ it's you again?"

Seeing that the person who opened the door wasn't his daughter, the other party immediately launched into a mocking mode: "Hey, you're a grown man, can't you act like one? Always following my daughter around like a shadow, aren't you just after her inheritance? Give up! With a family like ours, my daughter's future husband will definitely be someone of equal social standing. A petty thug like you shouldn't even think about it. Why don't you just find a commoner to marry and live a peaceful life? A toad trying to eat swan meat! Before you try, you'd better take a good look at yourself. Oh, wait, that's all you're good-looking about. You should check how much money you actually have. With so little wealth, you think you can marry my daughter? Dream on!!"

Tang Shuai had heard her sarcastic remarks so many times that he was no longer bothered by them. He listened to her with a cold face and calmly stepped aside.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?!" Unexpectedly, the other person persisted: "I've been so blunt. If it were me, I'd be mortified. How dare you stay here? Get out of here! This is my daughter's place, you're not welcome!!"

Tang Shuai disagreed with this: "I admit this is your daughter's territory, but she doesn't welcome me here. If she doesn't welcome me, how did I get in? Don't be ridiculous. I'm seriously pursuing Yu Liu, and I promise to give her a happy life. But can you guarantee that the blind dates you've introduced to Yu Liu will bring her happiness?"

Although the other party was Yu Liu's mother, Tang Shuai didn't want to give her any face at all: "You said Yu Liu is your daughter, so why don't you think more about your daughter? Look at yourself, if you let Yu Liu marry one of those blind dates you introduced, then your current fate would be Yu Liu's fate. Can you bear to see her suffer like that?"

Tang Shuai always felt that he was not a good person. The reason why he hadn't gotten rid of Wang Jing despite disliking her so much was probably out of a sense of understanding and sympathy.

Wang Jing was born in the countryside. She was beautiful and had a short-sighted view of life. Later, she was fortunate enough to marry into a wealthy family and learned to be a rich wife for her husband. However, when she was pregnant with Yu Liu, her husband began to have affairs. Later, he simply stayed away from home, neglecting his pregnant wife and only caring about his philandering.

He did visit Wang Jing on the day she gave birth, but after learning that she had given birth to a daughter, he never spoke to her properly again.

That's roughly it. Wang Jing's nerves were somewhat distorted by the shock, and she even saw Yu Liu as the culprit who caused her to lose her husband's favor. Yu Liu and Tang Shuai both knew that the blind dates she arranged for Yu Liu were indeed very good, but they all had various flaws in life. On the one hand, she wanted Yu Liu to be happy, and on the other hand, she wanted Yu Liu to be unhappy. This contradiction led to the fact that none of the blind dates she found were suitable for Yu Liu.

She is conflicted.

"...Why can't I bear to do it?"

Wang Jing paused for a moment before speaking, her words less decisive. "She was born into a wealthy family, so she has to bear these responsibilities. Arranged marriages are a common tactic among the wealthy; isn't that normal? Why would I feel sorry for her? Perhaps she'll be lucky and meet a good husband!"

"I have nothing to say to you. Are you coming in or not? If you don't, I'm closing the door!"

Tang Shuai didn't want to argue with Wang Jing. He reached out and grabbed the doorknob, threatening her.

"Then move the doorway for me."

Tang Shuai had been standing at the door the whole time. When he invited Wang Jing in, he only turned slightly to the side. As a grown man, he took up almost half of the doorway. Wang Jing could have squeezed in by turning slightly, but would she have done it? Of course not.

"Just come in like this! I'm afraid you'll lock me out."

This kind of situation has happened before. If he stands inside waiting for the other person to come in, they won't close the door, and Yu Liu will get angry if she finds the door open. If he stands outside, the other person will come in and close the door immediately. He doesn't have a key, so he'll be locked out.

Therefore, their relationship is simply irreconcilable.

He had no idea what Wang Jing disliked about him.

"Humph!"

Since Tang Shuai had already put his mind to it, Wang Jing could only "reluctantly" squeeze into the house next to him.

"Where is my daughter?"

She asked Tang Shuai.

"Can't you find it yourself?"

Tang Shuai plopped down on the sofa, ignoring Wang Jing.

Yu Liu's place wasn't very big, so Wang Jing found her quickly.

"My dear daughter~ Why did you let that man in again?!"

Upon seeing Yu Liu, Wang Jing immediately and enthusiastically approached her.

"He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding." Yu Liu saw Wang Jing's very young-looking face and couldn't bring herself to call her "Mom." Fortunately, the original owner of this body wasn't close to Wang Jing, so she didn't suspect anything.

"You're beholden to someone who feeds you? You ate his food?" Wang Jing immediately became unhappy: "Have you forgotten what I told you before?! He's poor, he doesn't have much spare money, and the things he buys are from roadside stalls, they're not hygienic. If you want to eat, order takeout yourself, be self-reliant. You have no relation to each other, and you just eat his food without permission, what kind of behavior is that!"

Yu Liu curled her lip indifferently, but did not refute.

Wang Jing was, after all, the original owner's mother, so it was best for her not to ruin their mother-son relationship.

"What brings you here today?"

Yu Liu asked a question while drawing.

"What else could it be? It's about the blind date, of course." Then, Wang Jing suddenly remembered something: "You were in a car accident yesterday?"

"Yes, I'm not injured."

Yu Liu added that last sentence on purpose.

"I asked, it was a serious car accident, how come you weren't injured?"

"What do you mean?"

Yu Liu sensed something was off about Wang Jing's words.

"That's exactly what I meant. If you had been injured, this blind date might have gone through. But you weren't injured, and they immediately called your dad, and I got a scolding from him."

Thinking of this, Wang Jing's expression became somewhat excited. Her husband hadn't spoken to her for several months, but yesterday he took the initiative to talk to her.

"What does it have to do with him that I'm not injured? It's ridiculous!" Besides, this guy is really annoying; he even hopes she gets hurt.

"How can it not be their business? His father was on the bus and was injured, and this is the attitude you show. No wonder your father is blaming me!" Wang Jing said unreasonably, "I told your father that I'll take you to apologize tomorrow. Get ready."

Upon hearing this, Yu Liu was genuinely disgusted: "I'm not going."

She's already struggling to meet her deadline, and now she has to apologize to a stranger? Is she crazy?

"You have to go, whether you like it or not!! Your dad values ​​this partnership highly. If this deal goes through, the company will reach new heights. You absolutely must go!!"

Wang Jing's attitude was very firm, which is why she came to find Yu Liu.

"If I remember correctly, you told me that he saw me, thought I was nice, and that's why he wanted to go on a blind date with me. How did it get involved in the family business now? It's only been a few days, less than three days since you told me about this, and you're already talking about cooperation?"

Yu Liu knew that the purpose of the arranged marriage she had mentioned was not pure.

"This isn't even fast. After this contract is signed, your dad's company can officially go public, you know? It's extremely important, and there can't be the slightest mistake! You have to apologize tomorrow!"

Yu Liu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so she simply kept quiet and continued working on her manuscript. Ultimately, the reason Wang Jing was coming to her now was still to win back the original owner's father's heart. She still held onto hope that the original owner's father would change his mind.

Perhaps if the original owner were here, she would have agreed. But Yu Liu is not the original owner; the original owner had long since transmigrated to another world. She is herself, a little fairy who transmigrated to fulfill her wish.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard you, I heard you, but I don't want to go. Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything!"

Yu Liu was already feeling resentful. The other party had promised to pick her up in a car, but who would have thought that it would be his father who came to pick her up?

"You have to go, whether you want to or not!! I'll pick you up tomorrow! You absolutely have to go!"

Wang Jing gave the order forcefully.

"Your daughter did nothing wrong, yet you insist on forcing her to apologize. Have you ever thought about her feelings at all?"

Tang Shuai, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up for some reason.

"Of course I've thought about her. Only if she apologizes will her father's business improve, and then she can have a better life!"

Tang Shuai merely scoffed at such remarks. While her father had built a large company from scratch, Yu Liu now lived in a small apartment she'd bought with her own writing fees, earning her own food and lodging. A better life? It was all just talk.

"I'm not going anyway."

Yu Liu's attitude will only be more resolute than Wang Jing's.

Wang Jing pestered Yu Liu for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't persuade Yu Liu and left dejectedly.

She never expected that something would suddenly cause such a stir online that day.

Because of this incident, the apology plan was also scrapped.

Liu Quji was also in a terrible predicament because of this matter.

The incident stemmed from the car accident, and Liu Quji's father and Yu Liu were both heavily criticized by netizens.

As mentioned before, the vehicle that hit Yu Liu was a taxi, and the taxi was carrying an injured person.

At that time, the taxi driver happened to encounter a couple. The woman seemed to have suddenly suffered a heart attack. The man was extremely anxious and dialed 120, but the ambulance encountered a traffic jam on its way. Although they tried to clear the traffic, it was still too late.

So he had no choice but to find a taxi and try to take a detour to the hospital.

Because they were racing against time, the taxis were going extremely fast, practically speeding.

It was because they were going too fast, and Yu Liu and the others' car was stationary, that they didn't have time to react and crashed into each other.

The car accident left the people in the vehicle stranded for a long time. In addition to their injuries, the girl who suffered a heart attack died after being taken to the hospital.

The time of death was the night of the second day, the same night Wang Jing came to find Yu Liu.

The man who had been waiting for his girlfriend's safety broke down. He was also injured, but fortunately, his injuries weren't too serious. He couldn't accept the outcome, and when he heard from the police that the accident was caused by the other car being stopped in the middle of the road and not moving even when the light was green, he immediately felt hatred for Yu Liu and Liu Quji's father and posted the incident online.

He was heavily influenced by his own subjective opinion, portraying Yu Liu and Liu Quji's father as utterly wicked.

This car accident actually happened, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
