Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 345

Huo Ling returned to the restaurant’s back kitchen, his expression as usual as he tidied everything up. Then he changed clothes and went to the front to get his meal.

Facing the chef who teased him by calling him “little country bumpkin,” he showed the same shy smile as always, extremely humble and docile.

After finishing his meal, he took the bus back to the Sheng residence, entering the backyard through the back door… But just as he reached the door of his room, he found it empty.

Huo Ling paused slightly, frowning.

At that moment, Aunt Liu’s loud voice sounded behind him, “Oh, Huo Ling, why are you here again? You don’t live here anymore.”

Huo Ling turned around to see Aunt Liu, whose figure was similar to Sheng Siyang’s, walking over. “Come with me, Miss has arranged a new place for you.”

He recalled that Sheng Nuan had previously mentioned finding him a new place to live… He hadn’t taken it seriously at the time, but moments later, he was led to the building where the Sheng family’s guest rooms were located.

The guest room’s environment was naturally not bad. Aunt Liu walked ahead and opened a room on the second floor. “Take a look. From now on, you’ll live here.”

Huo Ling pressed his lips together and silently walked in, immediately feeling the warm temperature which was completely different from the freezing cold outside… The old injury on his leg seemed to hurt less instantly.

A clean and tidy bed, a desk beside it, and on the desk was the latest model computer…

“Alright, Miss specifically instructed that if you come back late, the kitchen should remember to save some food for you. When you want to eat, just have Auntie heat it up for you.”

As Aunt Liu spoke, she was already turning around to leave, muttering as she walked, “Miss didn’t eat much dinner today. I need to ask the kitchen what’s going on…”

Huo Ling closed the door silently and sat down at the desk, his brows slightly furrowed.

Sheng Nuan… What exactly is she trying to do?

Meanwhile, Sheng Nuan was worrying…

She had already learned from customer service that Huo Ling had, without leaving any trace, crippled Du Cheng.

If it weren’t for the fact that the distribution box in the bar’s back alley was also old and malfunctioning, emitting smoke and shutting down, Du Cheng would probably have been burned to a crisp… But even though he survived because the distribution box lost power, half his body was already electrically burned, and to save his life, both his legs had to be amputated below the knee.

But in everyone’s eyes, it was just an accident: the electrical wires in the bar’s back alley had been ordered to be rectified several times. But because the wiring was complicated and involved too much, there was no way to completely fix it, so they just remained hanging messily there.

It just so happened that when Du Cheng was urinating, the messy wires hanging on the nylon rod fell down… Some of the old wires had insulation that had weathered away, and when they fell onto the urine at his feet, he was electrocuted.

Sheng Nuan was very troubled…

Huo Ling was obviously more vengeful than she had thought. Du Cheng had only bullied him a few times, and he had gone so far as to cripple him. The things the original host and Sheng Siyang had done to Huo Ling were much worse than what Du Cheng did.

If he got the chance, wouldn’t he want to kill them too…

Sheng Nuan decided she needed to step up her efforts to show goodwill to break the ice. After all, making the Sheng family truly strong was not something that could be achieved overnight.

She needed a double insurance.

Therefore, the next morning, Sheng Nuan asked Aunt Liu to call Huo Ling to have breakfast with her and Sheng Siyang, and to discuss going to and from school together in the future.

Huo Ling had difficulty walking, and the Sheng residence was some distance from the bus stop. The original host had obviously been deliberately making things difficult for him.

Before long, Huo Ling was led by Aunt Liu to the dining room, his expression as gentle and docile as ever, showing no sign that he had nearly killed someone the previous night.

Sheng Nuan showed an expression she considered gentle but not overly enthusiastic. “Sit down, let’s have breakfast together, and we’ll go to school together in a bit.”

A hint of doubt flashed in Huo Ling’s eyes, but he still obediently sat down. “Thank you, Miss Sheng.”

Just as Sheng Nuan was about to say “You’re welcome,” Sheng Siyang lifted his head from a big bowl of creamy mushroom soup. “Good that you know. Seeing that you’ve been behaving and haven’t been having any dreams you shouldn’t have, Nuan Nuan and I plan to treat you better from now on. You should know your place!”

Sheng Nuan: ……

Seeing the humble and docile expression on Huo Ling’s face, and thinking of Du Cheng who was nearly burned to a crisp with only half his body left, Sheng Nuan turned to look at Sheng Siyang, expressionless. “Can’t that big bowl of soup keep your mouth shut?”

Sheng Siyang was stunned, pouted, and didn’t say anything else. He lowered his head to continue drinking his soup with a grievance.

Wah… Sis is scolding me…

Opposite, Huo Ling quietly ate, pondering over what Sheng Siyang had just said.

So, what Sheng Siyang meant was that previously, it was because Sheng Nuan was worried he was thinking about the engagement, so she deliberately made things difficult for him?

Afraid he wanted to marry her?

A straw bag with a shiny surface¹… quite imaginative.

After breakfast, the three went to school together. Sheng Siyang had already forgotten about being scolded by his sister and sat there gossiping with her, “That Du Cheng, he got electrocuted last night… Really unlucky, said he went out drinking and got hit by old electrical wires falling on him in the back alley of a bar!”

As he spoke, Sheng Siyang remembered something and turned to Huo Ling. “It’s that guy who tripped you. Now he’s been electrocuted, and his legs are gone!”

Sheng Nuan glanced at Huo Ling unobtrusively, only to see him frown slightly, and in a seemingly sympathetic low voice say, “That’s really unfortunate for him…”

Sheng Nuan: ……

Very good, even better at packing than a burlap sack²!

In the morning, she had her own classes, and in the afternoon, she went to the training hall to attend the Mecha Special Training Class.

At first, it was some theoretical knowledge about mechas. The teacher spoke very quickly, and everyone was concentrating intently.

Although Yuan Shao had been defeated by Sheng Nuan, his abilities were there, and he also successfully entered the Mecha Training Class… During class, he would glance at Sheng Nuan from time to time, looking eager to beat her up.

But when it came to the second practical lesson, seeing Sheng Nuan easily complete the control tasks set by the teacher—controlling the mecha to pick up ping-pong balls and even thread a needle—Yuan Shao forcibly held back again.

It’s not time yet… A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years³!

After class, everyone left, but Sheng Nuan stayed in the data room of the mecha training hall, browsing through various materials about mechas on the computer…

She wanted to produce a batch of mechas belonging entirely to Sheng Military Industries, from research and development technology to manufacturing processes and even operators…

Of course, this was just the first step. Besides mechas, there were also fighters, warships, cruisers…

If possible, her goal was to turn the Sheng family into a true military-industrial fortress, so that no one would dare to underestimate or covet them again.

She knew it would be very difficult, but so what?

When Qin Ji walked into the data room, he saw the good-for-nothing eldest daughter of the Sheng family standing in front of a computer looking at something… Hearing his footsteps, Sheng Nuan turned around and immediately showed a delighted smile. “Your Highness, what a coincidence!”

Coincidence?

Qin Ji had seen her ‘chance encounters’ many times before and said indifferently, “At school, I’m just a regular student. There’s no such thing as Your Highness here.”

Sheng Nuan readily corrected herself, “Senior.”

She walked over to Qin Ji with a smile. “Senior, are you here to look up information? I don’t have enough permissions and want to see more mecha materials. Can Senior help me look them up?”

While talking about looking up materials, her gaze was fixed on Qin Ji’s face.

Qin Ji took note of her lovestruck behavior and knew in his heart that she was a drunkard whose interest is not in the wine⁴, and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Oh? What are you trying to look up?”

Sheng Nuan didn’t care. “Just the control diagrams of active mechas or whatever—anything is fine…”

Qin Ji glanced at her, then swiped his wristband and opened a database.

It was some information on active mechas. He clicked on it. “Take a look…”

“Thank you, Senior. You’re so kind… I’ll treat you to a meal another day, okay?”

As expected, this was her real purpose, right?

Qin Ji smiled faintly. “No need. As a student, being eager to learn is good. Go ahead, I’ll be over there looking up something else…”

A hint of disappointment appeared on Sheng Nuan’s face. “Alright then.”

Qin Ji went to a place some distance away from Sheng Nuan, started up a computer, and busied himself. Across from him, Sheng Nuan leisurely retracted her gaze and secretly whistled.

As expected, bearing the title of a lovestruck suitor was really too convenient…

These materials weren’t considered top secret, but they did require certain permissions to access. Sheng Nuan withdrew her gaze from Qin Ji and began to focus intently on the screen.

After a while, Qin Ji finished looking up what he needed, looked up… and saw that the lovestruck girl was indeed not looking at the computer but leaning there, smiling sweetly at him.

“The data room is about to close. Aren’t you leaving?”

Even though Qin Ji didn’t take Sheng Nuan seriously, he wouldn’t leave her here alone with his account still logged in.

Sheng Nuan pouted, “So soon…”

She reluctantly moved aside. When Qin Ji came over to log out of his account, he deliberately glanced at the screen. He had just opened the first page, but now it had reached over a hundred pages.

Well, she reads quite fast…
