Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 340

With a muffled groan, the young man raised his head, and Sheng Nuan finally saw his face clearly.

His delicate features couldn’t be concealed by his pale and thin appearance. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, giving him a somewhat gloomy yet innocent look. There was a bruise at the corner of his tightly pressed lips, with faint traces of bl00d.

The young man’s arms were pinned behind him by bodyguards, unable to break free. He looked weak and pitiful. He shook his head feebly and said in a low voice, “I didn’t take it…”

Sheng Nuan instantly realized what was happening in front of her.

This young man was Huo Ling, who was currently residing with the Sheng family and would become the leader of the rebel army in the future. And the fat man who had just punched him in the stomach… was the original host’s brother, Sheng Siyang.

Sheng Siyang had lost a watch. Hearing from the servants that Huo Ling had been seen entering his room, he concluded that this country bumpkin staying in their home had stolen it, so he brought people to interrogate him.

But in fact, the reason Huo Ling appeared in Sheng Siyang’s room was because Sheng Siyang wanted to help his sister get rid of Huo Ling. He deliberately humiliated him by making Huo Ling clean and tidy up his room.

And his watch had been taken by another servant.

Sheng Nuan also knew that with the Sheng family’s wealth, Sheng Siyang didn’t really care about the watch. He was just using the opportunity to torment Huo Ling.

Who told this country bumpkin to dare to dream of marrying his sister…

Although their parents had canceled the engagement by offering to send Huo Ling to the White Silver Academy and help treat his leg, whenever he thought about this lame country bumpkin having all sorts of ties with his sister, Sheng Siyang wished he could immediately kick Huo Ling out.

But this shameless country bumpkin refused to leave their home, clinging stubbornly and enduring all their torments with a submissive attitude. His parents, considering that life-saving debt, were unwilling to drive him away.

Because of this, Sheng Siyang had been helping the original host bully Huo Ling, trying to force him to leave…

Seeing that Huo Ling refused to admit it, Sheng Siyang was about to have the bodyguards start beating him when Sheng Nuan hurriedly spoke up, “Wait.”

Sheng Siyang turned his head, his fierce expression instantly changing into a smiling one. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Sheng Nuan said, “It probably wasn’t him who took it. He doesn’t have the guts. I’ll look into it for you later. Let him go.”

Sheng Siyang was suddenly felt it was a bit strange, but he always obeyed his sister. Therefore, without hesitation, he waved for the bodyguards to release him, snorting at Huo Ling, “Consider yourself lucky!”

Huo Ling was released by the bodyguards. He pressed his lips together without a word and bent down to pick up his belongings scattered on the ground.

He had been deliberately assigned by the Sheng siblings to live in a dilapidated small building at the back of the Sheng family estate where the servants’ lived. And the few things Huo Ling had were deliberately thrown all over the place by the bodyguards.

Sheng Nuan glanced inadvertently and saw thin, worn quilts and some very old daily necessities. Even the washbasin was broken.

The Sheng family didn’t lack such small amounts of money. It was just that the original host and her brother deliberately humiliated and trampled on him.

Sheng Nuan felt a bit weary.

Huo Ling looked disheveled and humble, silently collecting his scattered belongings, but Sheng Nuan knew he wasn’t truly that meek.

Huo Ling’s planet had been invaded by the Zerg. After his home was destroyed, he was displaced at a young age and later joined the rebel army.

Because he was shrewd and highly intelligent, he had become a significant leader in the rebel army. But during the last internal conflict within the rebels, he was injured and escaped. To avoid being hunted down, he had to smuggle himself to the Imperial Star, then relied on the token left by his father to seek refuge with the Sheng family.

His leg was injured, making movement inconvenient, and he had lost contact with his subordinates. So he chose the Sheng family as a place to recuperate.

Huo Ling suffered much humiliation and abuse at the Sheng family. Later, when he became the leader of the rebel army and took over the Imperial Star, he exiled the Sheng family.

Thinking of the original plot where the young rebel leader was cruel and ruthless, Sheng Nuan sighed and braced herself to try to salvage the Sheng family’s fate.

She walked over, helped Huo Ling pick up the books scattered on the ground, and handed them to him. The boy paused slightly, raised his eyes, and in them was a humble and obedient look with a hint of unease.

What good acting!

Sheng Nuan cleared her throat lightly. “I will get to the bottom of this matter. If you were truly wronged, you will receive appropriate compensation.”

Huo Ling reached out to take the book and softly thanked her, “Thank you, Miss.”

His tone was gentle, but beneath his lowered eyelashes, there was cold mockery in his eyes…

Sheng Nuan stood up and pulled Sheng Siyang away.

Sheng Siyang was round and chubby, his arms looking inflated, but he didn’t have the kind of breathlessness other overweight people had.

As they walked out, he asked in confusion, “Nuan Nuan, why did you just stop me?”

Sheng Nuan had already thought of her words and said seriously, “I’ve been thinking about this these days. Huo Ling’s father had a great favor with Grandpa back then, and now that the engagement between him and me has been canceled, and he’s quite well-behaved, I feel there’s no need to keep bullying him.”

Sheng Siyang showed a thoughtful expression. “That seems to make sense…”

Sheng Nuan continued, “Not to mention if others find out, they might say our family is ungrateful. First of all, I myself feel that we might have gone too far… After all, the life-saving grace is still there. We can’t be ungrateful villains, right?”

Sheng Siyang immediately nodded, “Nuan Nuan is right. Then we won’t bully him anymore.”

Sheng Nuan was stunned… Was he convinced so easily?

But then she remembered, in the original plot, Sheng Siyang was an absolute sister-con. To sum it up, he was: My sister is the most beautiful in the world, and everything my sister says is right!

Later, it was this fat, brainless, rich second-generation playboy in others’ eyes, who only knew how to eat that charged forward without hesitation when his sister was thrown to the Zerg, trying to shield her with his plump body.

But in the end, he still couldn’t protect the sister he had loved since childhood…

Sheng Nuan patted Sheng Siyang’s arm, quickly thinking in her mind.

She wasn’t sure how long it would take to turn the Sheng family, this rich and fat piece of meat, into a beast that no one dared to covet. So before that, she had to find a way to resolve the conflict with Huo Ling as much as possible.

At least prevent the previous ungrateful and self-destructive actions of the original host and the fat man in tormenting Huo Ling from causing the whole family to be exiled.

Returning to her room, Sheng Nuan called over Aunt Liu, who served her personally, and asked her to arrange new accommodations for Huo Ling.

Like Sheng Siyang, Aunt Liu obeyed Sheng Nuan unconditionally. Hearing her words, she immediately said she would make the arrangements without asking further.

“Don’t worry, Miss. I’ll arrange it promptly.”

Sheng Nuan nodded, “Aunt Liu always handles things properly.”

The plump middle-aged woman, her face glowing, happily bustled out, extremely delighted in her heart.

Miss praised her again, today is another sunny day!

Just as Sheng Nuan wanted to lie down and think about what to do next, her communicator rang, and a haughty female voice sounded.

“Hey, Sheng Nuan, we’re having a gathering at No. 13 Qiangwei Street. Do you want to come?”

Sheng Nuan slightly frowned, then heard the other party commandingly say, “What, still hesitating? Forget it if you don’t want to come.”

Sheng Nuan thought of the original plot, then smiled, “I’ll come right away.”

“That’s more like it!”

The other party muttered, “Hurry up!”

Hanging up the call, Sheng Nuan thought for a moment, then changed clothes and went out…
