Sheng Wenyang didn’t expect that although she went from a young wealthy miss to a criminal, she hadn’t cried or anything. Instead, she had laughed. She helplessly said, “It seems like you knew you would have landed yourself a consequence like this when you had done those things in the past.”
Shi Shi’s handcuffs bumped against the table and made a bang.
She raised her chin and said, “Who would want to be in jail? Would you? But when I was doing those things, I wasn’t thinking too much about it. Didn’t you just want to be with Chen Sinan? I’ll grant your wish! After all, you’re the female lead that I’ve created. More or less, I have some feelings regarding you.”
Sheng Wenyang’s expression changed. “What are you talking about?”
“Many people think that I’m crazy but I’m fully awake. Sheng Wenyang, let me tell you the truth. This world isn’t real. This is a virtual world that is supported by the novel I had written.”
“Impossible!”
“You find it to be unbelievable, right? But this is the truth. In my book, Chen Sinan is the typical romantic male lead. He is wealthy, handsome, and powerful. Many people love him and you’re one of the many. Of course, you’re also the female lead. Male lead and female lead CP, male side lead and female side lead CP, etc.
(T/N: CP in Chinese means a couple or a ‘character pairing’…in English we’d use the term ‘shipping’)
Mo Bei liked you without any reasons and he couldn’t control his love for you. I purposefully created him like this. You admired Chen Sinan and this was a one-sided love. On another hand, you used Mo Bei to climb higher up the social ladder and used him to get closer to Chen Sinan. Plus, you used Xin Siyue’s stupid cannon fodder methods and successfully made yourself seem kind and innocent in front of Chen Sinan.
But what was different from now was that you were successful and became Lady Chen. You used the numerous miscarriages and made Xin Siyue your scapegoat. In the end, Xin Siyue lost her entire family and married a slag man, and then died in his hands. You and Chen Sinan had a son two years after your marriage. There was your happy ending.”
Chen Sinan listened to her shocking and stunning words. Her face turned pale. “You…You’re crazy!”
“I’m not crazy.” Shi Shi smiled and continued, “Do you need me to tell you what happened to your family from the start to end? Need me to tell you what happened between you and Mo Bei abroad? Sheng Wenyang, why do you think I found you in the first moments you returned back in the country? Why do you think I gave you advice? It’s because I realized that because of Xin Siyue, the plot had drastically changed. She wasn’t the original Xin Siyue from the book. She transmigrated, earlier than me.”
“You…you guys…so you guys are from another world? You’re the author?”
“Yes, you didn’t expect this, right?” Shi Shi exaggeratingly laughed. “This world is quite interesting!”
“It’s absurd!”
“It is absurd!” Shi Shi chuckled. “But I’m not scared. This world will come to an end sooner or later. I am waiting for you guys to go to the underworld with me. Hahah!”
Once Shi Shi finished her words, she couldn’t control her sinister laughter.
Sheng Wenyang was stunned for a few moments and she ended up escaping. She originally wanted to visit her and tell her that what comes around will come back around. In the end, she never expected Shi Shi to say something absurd and ridiculous like that.
So she was saying the truth? She wasn’t Shi Shi and Xin Siyue wasn’t Xin Siyue either. From the start, everyone was like a puppet living in this world? They were controlled and couldn’t do anything they wanted?
The more Sheng Wenyang thought of this, the more absurd it was!
But this absurd thought tortured her day and night. In the end, she finally couldn’t hold it in. She decided to call Chen Sinan and hoped to meet him.
Chen Sinan didn’t wanted to see her at all. “I’m busy.”
Sheng Wenyang hurriedly exclaimed, “I am free to talk anytime. A-Nan, I can wait for you.”
Chen Sinan seemed to be displeased by this endearment.
When Sheng Wenyang heard no response, she was scared that he might reject her offer. She added, “It’s about Xin Siyue. A-Nan, I think you have the right to know.”
Chen Sinan raised his eyebrows slightly but gave her an address. He said, “Four in the afternoon. I will only give you ten minutes.”
“Ok!” Sheng Wenyang grabbed her phone and thought: ten minutes. It was enough. It was enough. As long as he agreed to see her.
Sheng Wenyang’s thoughts were on their meeting in the afternoon so she seemed to be uneased in her office. In the end, she decided to go for a spa and then intentionally picked a pink dress that made her seem gorgeous but attractive at the same time.
But Chen Sinan didn’t even spare her a glance after he walked in. The makeup she spent a few hours doing went to waste. He cut straight to the chase and said, “Quickly say what you have to say. I only have ten minutes.”
After seeing Sheng Wenyang, he needed to see a few partners. After that, he needed to pick Xin Siyue up.
Sheng Wenyang who had prepared a stomach full of gentle sentiments was thrown off by his indifferent attitude. She stared at him with her wide and watery eyes. She blinked and it felt like tears were about to pour out, but she needed to hold it in.
“A-Nan…”
“Miss Sheng, please change the way you address me.” Chen Sinan pulled their distance apart again.
Sheng Wenyang said, “…ok.”
