The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 02

“Ms. Su? Why aren’t you going in?” An actor who lived in the next room passed by and asked when he saw Su Lengyue standing there, motionless.

Live stream comments: [Hurry up and go inside!]

[Is it that you forgot to bring a gift?]

[Why do I feel like there’s movement inside?]

Su Lengyue quickly smiled, “I felt like I had forgotten something. Let’s go in.”

She scanned the door card, and with a click, the door opened. Su Lengyue’s heart began to beat nervously. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

As soon as she entered, she saw two people sitting on the sofa.

A man and a woman.

Jiang Yunjin and his good sister-in-law, Wen Yu.

At that moment, Su Lengyue felt cold all over, picturing countless scenes in her mind. The real-time livestream comments also exploded:

[Holy shit, these two people???]

[Wait, what’s going on?]

[It couldn’t be a scene of an affair, couldn’t it? It’s over. It’s over now.]

Until they heard “Penta Kill!” followed by: “Aced.”

The duo, holding their phones with their heads down, collapsed on the sofa together.

Because of this, Jiang Yunjin’s face was revealed. Usually a high-spirited and handsome face, it was not full of the hopeless vicissitudes of life, and his voice was trembling, “…I can’t carry you. I really can’t carry you.”

Wen Yu looked aggrieved, “Aren’t you King?! Look at the number of games we have played! I didn’t even obtain a single star!!!”

The two exchanged glances, both displaying their dislike for each other.

Su Lengyue: “???”

Live-stream comments: [???]

[What just happened?]

[I thought it was a cheating scene, yet the result was???]

[Wow, my heart was in my throat, and then I heard ‘aced.’ Hahaha!!! Total annihilation! That must have been so miserable.]

[Jiang Yunjin looks tortured, and as a fellow gaming trainer, I can empathize with him.]

[Isn’t he a pro? How could he not even carry Wen Yu?]

[It scared me nearly to death. Nearly to death! Were these two people really playing video games together? Didn’t I hear that Wen Yu liked Jiang Yunjin? These two were locked in a room alone—a man and a woman alone…]

[I don’t really believe it either—playing video games?]

Su Lengyue’s heart slightly calmed down, but she still could not fully let it go. She wanted to ask about it but could not speak up due to the camera.

Wen Yu, on the other hand, let out a huge sigh of relief. She could retire now that Se Lengyue was here. Sure enough, she tried to get up, and her body was completely free of obstacles.

She walked directly over, passing by Su Lengyue’s side, and glanced at her.

Su Lengyue’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Wen Yu would not leave so easily.

Since she started dating Jiang Yunjin, Su Lengyue had realized how much of a handful Wen Yu could be. It was just that these two had grown up together since childhood, so they had an extraordinary bond. To make matters more complicated, Wen Yu ended up marrying Jiang Yunjin’s older brother, becoming his sister-in-law so she could exert influence over him.

As a result, the presence of Wen Yu inflicted numerous conflicts between the two. However, every time, Jiang Yunjin sincerely apologized and assured Su Lengyue that he had no other intentions toward Wenyu.

Nonetheless, the current situation was indeed quite awkward.

Even if they were just playing games a moment ago.

But they were a man and a woman, playing video games alone in a hotel room.

But then Wen Yu faced the camera, her exquisitely beautiful little face puffed up, and she directly slammed her phone into the lens.

Jiang Yunjin’s expression subtly changed, “Wen Yu, shut your mouth!”

Wen Yu ignored him and proceeded to their match records to the camera. They played seven games over two hours, and they did not win a single one. She leaned in closer to the camera, “Take a look. He is the so-called ‘Strongest King’ in the entertainment industry. Tsk~”

After saying that, she retrieved her phone and gracefully left.

The sound of “Tsk~” carried a strong impact, and Jiang Yunjin’s face darkened. The livestream comments burst into laughter, no longer having any suspicions: [Hahaha, I saw it! Those match records are hilarious! I’m dying]

[They lost all matches! No wonder Wen Yu’s that mad]

[I have reason and evidence to suspect Wen Yu’s view of Jiang Yunjin has shattered, and she simply doesn’t like him anymore]

[I must admit, despite being sulky, Wen Yu is still quite good-looking. Hahaha, her appearance is indeed suitable for the entertainment industry. Jie, focus on your career, and don’t bother chasing after men]

[It’s surprising that Jiang Yunjin, as a “King” in the game, couldn’t even carry a Bronze player. His skills were probably just superficial and pretentious]

[There used to be a lot of praise online about his gaming skills, and any esports event would always look for him first. But, now it seems that it was just hype]

[I have to agree. Jiang Yunjin almost got the MVP in every game, which is pretty impressive. However… I gotta say, being unable to carry people shows a lack of capability in certain aspects]

As Jiang Yunjin, who was visibly annoyed by Wen Yu’s actions in front of the camera, finally snapped out of it, he noticed Su Lengyue’s peculiar expression. He quickly stood up and took hold of her, almost swearing to the heavens, “We were really just playing a game. She was being bullied in the game, so she asked me to help her. We didn’t do anything else!”

Su Lengyue pursed her lips and smiled, “I know. You guys have been playing for quite a while now.”

Jiang Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief and embraced her, exclaiming, “You’re the best.”

The livestream comments, once again, erupted in laughter: [Seems like he went through a lot with Wen Yu.]

[His will to survive is quite impressive, hahaha! Jiang Yunjin, nobody’s doubting your relationship. Now, everyone’s questioning your skills as the king of gaming!]

As the live-stream comments suggested, when Wen Yu returned to her room and opened her phone, she discovered that “#JiangYunjinandWenYuPlayingGames#” and “#Wen Yu: Tsk~#” had made it onto the hot search leaderboard.

She clicked on them and found that they were filled with screenshots and videos from the live-streaming room. Some netizens had even managed to capture Wen Yu’s exposed battle records.

The following comments were all joking and teasing, saying things like, “Jiang Yujin’s image as the gaming genius has shattered.”

Occasionally, one or two comments would claim it was unlikely for a man and a woman alone to simply be playing video games, but Jiang Yunjin’s fans refuted them with Jiang Yunjin’s depressed emote: [If this was the case, how can there be other possibilities except for the fact that they were playing games? (“Jiang Yunjin: I can’t carry you, I really can’t carry you”.jpg)]

[I don’t believe someone like her would like Jiang Yunjin.

“Wen Yu: Tsk~

The stickers carried various characteristics, but one had to admit that it did not seem as if the duo had an affair.

Wen Yu was sure after browsing through the comments that the event of her being caught in the act had passed!

In other words, there was no need to make Jiang Yujin’s da ge wear a green hat.

TL’s Note: “Da ge” is what one would call their eldest brother, and to wear a green hat means to be the significant other who is being cheated on.

In the event of a future divorce, those several properties would also belong to her, right?

Even if she did not get a house, she would be happy to receive a little more money.

Wen Yu, who had not been awakened before, had not cared about these matters. When she was younger, her parents were wealthy, but her family encountered some difficulties later on. However, she inherited the assets that belonged to her parents. Although there were significant losses due to the bankruptcy caused by the previous incident, it was true that a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.

It was already enough to ensure a lifetime of wealth and prosperity for her.

Afterward, she moved in with the Jiang family. The parents of the Jiang family were generous and treated her no differently than they would their biological daughter. Whatever their son had, she was given as well, and perhaps she had even more. Jiang Yujin’s monthly allowance was only five hundred thousand yuan, while she received nearly two million yuan after combining her allowance with the additional funds received for purchasing clothes and jewelry.

Of course, as a result, she was not a frugal person and had no concept of money when it came to spending.

In the story, Wen Yu ultimately received a divorce settlement of only ten million yuan and was driven out of the Jiang family. For her at that time, the ten million yuan would be spent within a year at most, and life would indeed be quite difficult for her.

But now, she had awakened the memories of her previous life.

One should know that, in her past life, she had to work diligently for three years just to afford a bathroom at her workplace!

In comparison, she would be very content even with only ten million yuan.

But having a little more was still better than having nothing, and being caught in an affair did not bring any sort of good reputation. It would be wonderful if this plot point could smoothly pass.

There was not much storyline involving Wen Yu later on.

Due to this scandal, Wen Yu got divorced, and the Jiang parents were also very disappointed. Jiang Yunjin comforted them and took them on a vacation to relax. Once they were gone, there was naturally no one left who cared about Wen Yu.

Wen Yu’s reputation was ruined in addition to her divorce. Her heart was filled with hatred toward Su Lengyue, leading her to engage in a variety of malicious acts. However, the entertainment industry was a money-driven place. To have influence, she needed money. She quickly spent all the money she had available before she could do anything to Su Lengyue. Wen Yu ended up experiencing the hardships of being broke and returned, crying and begging for mercy.

Of course, the two brothers from the Jiang family were not soft-hearted, so Wen Yu, under the influence of certain individuals, ultimately completely fell into moral degradation.

Later, at a banquet, when Wen Yu saw Jiang Yunjin again, she did not dare to acknowledge him and immediately hid away. She completely lost her role and presence in his life.

As Wen Yu reminisced about her incident with Jiang Yunjin, she recalled the gradual liberation she experienced—from initially being heavily constrained by the plot to being able to move her hands, then her legs, and ultimately achieving complete freedom. In retrospect, she could be considered to have completely freed herself from the control of the storyline.

Wen Yu relaxed as she lay on her bed, relieved that she no longer had to act like a “bootlicker.” She enjoyed the moment for a while and then picked up her phone, thinking about inviting a couple of friends to go on a trip.

However, as soon as she opened her phone, she noticed a message notification on WeChat.

She clicked on it and saw that it was a message from the producer: [Ms. Wen, you have a scene tonight at 8 o’clock. When do you plan to come for makeup?]

The phrasing was so polite that, at first glance, she could tell the message was not written to an ordinary actor.

——

Wen Yu suddenly remembered it.

In the storyline, Wen Yu, in her pursuit of Jiang Yunjin, managed to track him down to the filming set. Jiang Yunjin’s main domain was the film industry, but he would also take on a television show once a year.

He was currently shooting a xianxia film in the studio where he played the lead role. However, Wen Yu was not cast as the female lead in that production.

She managed to enter the production with some financial resources, but her funds were limited. Thus, she could only secure the Nth female supporting character. Interestingly enough, this character happened to be the unrequited love interest of the male lead, Jiang Yunjin. In her mind and real life, she saw herself not as Jiang Yunjin’s unrequited love, but at least in the drama, she would thwart Su Lengyue and create a dissonance with the storyline!

Of course, she had already filmed several minor supporting roles before, all of which were glamorous and decorative vase-like characters.

The money she used came from the inheritance left by her parents.

Indeed, it was not surprising that in the original story, Wen Yu’s life took a turn for the worse. By spending all her money in pursuit of a man, she put herself in a vulnerable financial position. Investing in her acting career was not always a profitable endeavor, especially in the film industry, where the risk of financial loss was higher.

As Wen Yu’s heart ached, and she berated the storyline, she also reflected on her current situation. To grow closer to Jiang Yunjin, she intentionally arrived at the filming set several days ahead of schedule, claiming it was for learning. However, her true intention was to cling to Jiang Yunjin, causing him great distress. It was only then that Jiang Yunjin decided to invite Su Lengyue, who happened to be on a break at that time, to the set.

And she did not get to film any scenes.

Tonight was the first scene, where the white moonlight and the male lead first encountered each other.

Wen Yu was suddenly nervous.

It was important to note that the investment she made this time was with all of her remaining funds, which amounted to eight million yuan. While it might not have been a large sum of money in general, for Wen Yu in her past life, it was already a significant amount!

In the storyline, after the incident of her being caught in the act, she was removed from the project, and her investment was naturally lost. Therefore, she was unable to earn any money from it.

Right now, she was reluctant to withdraw her investment.

She remembered that the drama Jiang Yunjin was shooting had become a huge hit!

The surrounding merchandise and related products also became extremely popular, and the investors made a fortune!

And now, she was one of the investors!!!

Recalling this, Wen Yu sat upright and typed a response with a serious attitude: [That’s not an issue. I can come over at any time.]

The producer responded immediately: [That’s great. Can you come over right now?]

Wen Yu directly called her assistant, packed her things, and set off.

This was related to her money, so she needed to take it seriously!
