My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - Chapter 5

Ruan Qingci was particularly leisurely and interested in studying and observing Lin Lang.

Over the weekend, taking advantage of the fact that they lived in the same building, they met up with Lin Lang twice. Once they had afternoon tea together, and another time, late at night, they called each other up to drink and chat.

Lin Lang’s reaction made Ruan Qingci even more certain that this guy had ulterior motives.

There’s nothing to gain from it, who would come right away upon an invitation?

Moreover, when we scheduled afternoon tea on Saturday, this guy wasn’t home at the time, but seriously claimed to be on the way back and asked if I could wait for a bit.

It was 11:30 PM on Sunday, and normally, a regular office worker would be thinking about having to go to work the next day and wouldn’t be able to find anyone to go out for drinks with. But this guy, he agreed right away.

Lin Lang is subtly trying to win her favor and increase her affection for him, and she is very sure of this.

The only uncertainty is, what exactly is this guy after?

If we’re talking about being lustful towards her, before the night of the 21st, they had no interaction at all, not even a single meeting. Moreover, if he were lustful towards her, that night she even took the initiative to throw herself at him, yet he could still coldly pull her out and wrap her in a blanket.

Such a tough, straight woman, with such a performance, it’s hard for her to convince herself that this guy is after her body.

But if it were for money, this guy seems quite capable of making his own. After saving her, Ms. Gu Minglan expressed her gratitude, but it was all politely declined.

This doesn’t make sense either.

As for other motives, she didn’t have any other ideas for now. Maybe this guy just wants to see her and He Ji fight?

But what does this mean? It’s harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

However, none of these matters. The only thing that can be clearly stated is that Lin Lang has no ill intentions towards her. Hmm, not just no ill intentions, but he even goes out of his way to win her favor and boost her goodwill.

After confirming, Ruan Qingci felt relieved, and there wasn’t much of a reaction afterward—just that it seemed more interesting.

Over here, Lin Lang is bustling with activity.

At that time, she didn’t take Mr. He’s subtly threatening words to heart at all. She just noted down what the He family said and did, sent a brief message to Lawyer Zhang, and then got back to happily coding.

She is very composed, but the problem is that her entire family of relatives can’t learn to be as composed as she is.

In the following days, the He family calmed down, but her relatives took over, constantly calling her.

At first, he could still put on a show of warmth, asking her how she had been lately, how work was going, and then hesitantly asking if she had offended anyone recently, warning her not to play the hero and drag the whole family down with her.

Lin Lang’s ability to bluff must be at least at the expert level. He managed to bluff a few times with “uh-huh” and “ah,” but it didn’t work anymore after that.

A cornered dog will jump over the wall, a rabbit will bite when it is desperate, and when relatives feel their interests are harmed, they will band together to come over and engage in moral and emotional blackmail.

But you see, Lin Lang is a hard-hearted person; if he says he won’t see you, he won’t. Moreover, they don’t even know where Lin Lang lives, so they wouldn’t know which direction to go to block his door.

What on earth is going on?

A group of people went to confront her parents.

I don’t know what benefits these people promised, but her hard-to-describe biological father hastily set September 5th, which happens to be a Wednesday, as the moving-in day. They urged and insisted repeatedly, emphasizing that Lin Lang should come back for dinner whenever she finished work. If she couldn’t make it in time due to overtime, she still had to go back to stay the night.

Moving into a new home without leaving it empty is the rule.

After Lin Lang returned home and looked, he thought, great, the whole family was there—grandparents, two uncles, three maternal uncles, and so on.

The first to speak was Uncle, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a strong paternal vibe hit us.

“Ah Lang, it’s not that uncle is criticizing you. As a girl, you should be more careful and not cause trouble outside, bringing misfortune to the family. You need to set a good example for your
younger siblings.”

Lin Lang didn’t even give him a glance and casually replied, “Of course! If it weren’t for me, your third brother, and my dad, they would have loved to pocket the entire demolition compensation for
themselves. How could we have divided it up to give my mom, my younger brother, and my younger sister each a house?”

Uncle is here to pua her, not to commend her. Hearing her boast so shamelessly, he just gave a perfunctory “mm-hmm” in response and then prepared to interrupt her with great impatience.

I didn’t expect Lin Lang to be so talkative; I couldn’t interrupt him at all.

Moreover, she is particularly good at hitting where it hurts, earnestly turning the tables and pointing out the situation to Uncle: “Look at my younger siblings, then look at your younger siblings, and you’ll see my contributions.”

Her brother Lin Wei, the future ingrate who will take advantage of his sister’s death to live a life of luxury, is a bit useless and a bit selfish, but under her harsh discipline, he at least managed to get into a decent junior college.

Her younger sister, Lin Yao, the only conscience in the family, just got accepted into a key provincial high school this year. If she doesn’t mess up in these three years of high school, she’ll get into a top university.

Let’s take another look at Uncle’s younger siblings.

Second brother, who is her second uncle, was pua’d by her grandfather and great-uncle. After graduating from middle school, he came out to make a living, working to support his older brother’s education, dreaming that once his brother made a name for himself, he could also live a good life.

The result, well, it’s obvious. After all the effort to get someone through college, not only do they not end up living a good life, but they also must keep draining their bl00d.

Up until now, he has been doing odd jobs everywhere. If it weren’t for the fact that his second aunt is bold enough to break free and decisively cut off the cycle of his eldest brother sucking bl00d
from their parents and their parents sucking bl00d from their family, who knows how much compensation he would have gotten from this demolition.

The third brother, that is, her biological father, graduated from middle school, is an abusive man, and a gambling addict. If she hadn’t been able to beat him up when she was twelve and then pawn him off to the loan sharks to work on a construction site to pay off debts and support the family, it’s hard to say how many of the five family members would still be alive today.

Younger sister, be more ambitious and rely on your own efforts. You graduated from a normal school, and back then, the state even handled job placements. When it came time for marriage, even though there were better options for you, he still pressured you and your parents to marry his boss’s lecherous and incompetent son.

He has been sailing smoothly and got promoted twice in a few years, while the younger sister’s life is like being soaked in bitter water.

The siblings had fallen out long ago, acting like enemies, and when they met, they would spit at each other as a form of greeting.

Second Uncle is a loyal sycophant to First Uncle and is particularly dissatisfied with Lin Lang’s attitude towards his elder brother. Seeing this, he hurriedly scolded her, “Unbelievable! Is this how you treat your elders?!”

Seeing Lin Lang glance over coldly, he clenched his fist and immediately came to his senses, his bravado completely dissipating, his voice dropping by eight degrees: “W-well, we have to…”

Before I could finish my sentence, my second aunt twisted my ear and dragged me away, cursing all the while.

“You idiot! Just because you have a mouth, huh? No matter what, Ah Lang is a thousand times better than some black-hearted people! Did Ah Lang say anything wrong? Look at your siblings, having such a big brother is bad luck for eight generations, at least eighteen generations!”

The uncle, who was being scolded indirectly, had such a thick skin that not even a single eyebrow twitched.

I made a mistake.

This start isn’t looking good. Lin Lang, that little brat, has always been difficult to deal with since childhood. It shouldn’t be about suppressing her first and then lifting her up later to make
her remember the favor.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s still not too late to change it now. Just praise it, just hype it! Blow your own trumpet about the role you played, perfect!

So, he instantly changed his demeanor, becoming amiable and approachable. With gentle words and a soft tone, he slowly recounted the deep brotherly bond between him and the He family.

The general idea is that the He family, out of respect for him, made an exception and included the Lin family as a candidate for the selection of the bride. This would allow the two young people to
get to know each other first, and when their feelings develop, they could get engaged or something like that.

Lin Lang’s grandparents are quite biased, wholeheartedly favoring their eldest son who has “great prospects,” and by extension, they also favor Lin Yu, the son of their eldest uncle.

As soon as Uncle found an opportunity to bring it up, the two of them quickly blurted out the words they had been holding back for a long time.

“This is all thanks to your uncle’s influence. Ah Lang, after you marry into the He family, you must repay your uncle well.”

“Yeah, yeah, you should take good care of your cousin, don’t be an ingrate.”

Even a few uncles came over with beaming faces.

“The He family is a good family. We’ll arrange good jobs for your cousins when the time comes. Once they succeed, they can support you in the future.”

As they talked, a group of people became self-absorbed.

It’s somewhat like the excitement of about to become a royal relative, with power and wealth at my fingertips.

Anyway, Lin Lang didn’t really understand what kind of mindset it was for someone to daydream without considering themselves as the main character, only wanting to rely on others.

Anyway, it’s just a dream, can’t the vision be a bit bigger?! Dreaming of hitting the jackpot with a billion-dollar prize, spending it however you want, living it up however you want, is way better than dreaming of selling your niece/nephew, hoping that wealthy people will drop some money to let them live a good life!

Speechless.

After they finished basking in their self-indulgence, Lin Lang leisurely shattered their beautiful dreams.

“You mentioned this eldest grandson of the He family’s main branch, right? I’ve seen him once, and I just broke his arms and legs on the spot.”

The scene that was once so lively suddenly froze.

“Uncle, you’ve tasted the benefits of selling your sister for fame, and now you want to try selling your niece for fame again?”

“Ha! This isn’t impossible either.”

The smiles that had just frozen on everyone’s faces came back to life.

“Anyway, no one cares about domestic violence. I beat him three times a day. If he doesn’t die, I’ll just get criticized and educated. If he dies, it’s my bad luck, and I’ll have to spend a few years in prison.”

Ah, this.

Just thinking about it is suffocating.

A group of middle-aged men turned green with envy.

Damn it, I always forget that Lin Lang, this little brat, has an explosive combat power!

Once the great law of domestic violence is unleashed, the whole world becomes peaceful.

After all, even if you want to sell your niece/nephew for personal gain, you still must consider whether the He family is willing to risk losing their son/grandson.

They also can’t bear the possible ups and downs.

Seeing that wealth was out of reach, this group of people didn’t hesitate and quickly left.

After this group of people left, Ting Ge sent her a WeChat message saying the information had been sent to her email.

Lin Lang opened her email and saw a compressed encrypted file package. Her phone couldn’t decompress it, so she just ignored it.

Thinking to myself, this isn’t an urgent matter, I’ll look tomorrow.

She must stay here tonight, no matter how unhappy she is, she must endure it.

Maybe it’s because she’s been meeting too many people lately. Today, she even spent a long time cozying up with Lin Yao, this villain ally. Finally, she accumulated enough energy, and the dream that
got interrupted last time was continued.

After Lin Yao formed an alliance with Gu Qingci, the leverage others had over her was destroyed, and she immediately began to take bold and decisive actions.

Just when the male lead was completely at a disadvantage, Gu Qingci encountered a series of melodramatic events involving kidnapping, a car accident, disappearance, and amnesia.

As soon as she went missing, a major inheritance dispute erupted. Her parents divorced a few years ago, and during the divorce battle, her dad was at fault. Her mom was fiercely determined, and she had the upper hand in the property division. Following a strategy of not letting the illegitimate child benefit, her mom took away 60% of the assets.

But that’s not the main point.

The key point is that before the divorce and the division of assets, her mother had already transferred all her real estate, as well as part of the real estate under Ruan Mingjie’s name, totaling nearly 300 million in assets, to Gu Qingci’s name.

300 million, that’s equivalent to one-tenth of their family’s assets, and all of it is high-quality assets. Because it was transferred to Gu Qingci’s name, it’s considered a gift from parents to their child and won’t be divided during a divorce.

As a result, in the end, Ruan Mingjie only received over 1 billion, with the bulk being company shares.

Mainly, Ruan Mingjie had to divide most of the real estate, shares in other investment properties, and cash with Gu Minglan to ensure his control within the company in exchange for company shares.

Even so, after the division, Gu Minglan still held a portion of the shares. In the end, Ruan Mingjie managed to scrape together some money by shifting funds around and bought them from her at market price.

In this way, even if he privately transferred and concealed his assets, Dato would have probably squeezed them all out.

The worst part is that when Gu Qingci returned to the country and was flourishing, the nearly 300 million in real estate value turned into 900 million. Meanwhile, her biological father’s company shares, originally worth 900 million, shrank to 300 million, and the downward trend was obvious, with a very large potential for further decline!

With his wealth significantly diminished and likely to continue shrinking due to cash flow issues, and with bankruptcy liquidation imminent, how could Ruan Mingjie not be tempted by the increasingly substantial assets under his daughter’s name?

As soon as she had an accident, Ruan Mingjie jumped out and secretly exerted influence to push the police to determine that she died accidentally to divide the inheritance.

Contrary to expectations, after Gu Qingci was finally declared missing, Ruan Mingjie hurriedly contested with Gu Minglan for the management rights of her assets.

In such a chaotic situation, work cannot proceed, and Gu Qingci’s original plan is on the verge of collapse. The male lead immediately starts to shake, seizing the opportunity to counterattack and extend his life for a bit.

The marketplace is like a battlefield, constantly changing in an instant.

Even if it was eventually discovered that the mastermind behind the scenes was Ruan Mingjie’s biological mother, Gu Minglan ultimately obtained the property management rights, the once promising situation was no longer the same.
