Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 205 Ye Xinya 36

Before Ye Xinya walked out of the dark tent, she could swear that he saw Jiang Li smiling so widely yet the look in his eyes was the coldest and most dangerous she had ever seen in her life. Out of fear, she nodded and hurriedly walked out.

When she was outside, the air finally flowed naturally around her and she could breathe again. That was scary. Countless speculations ran in her mind, most were wondering if the words the woman said were not really fortune-telling but secret messages, or threat from someone she was working under.

What could that mean though? And what kind of threat?

Now she was feeling annoyed that she was asked to go out. Yet her mind was also rationalizing there was no other choice since the man left no room for argument, which he very rarely did unless the situation was not something she really should take part in, or something very dangerous.

Which one was it? In all honesty, she hoped it was neither. Between these two evils, none was the lesser. The first one would make her feel bad since it meant he was keeping secrets from her. The second one would make her worry like crazy about his safety. There was the option of pretending she didn't see and guess anything, but that would make her plain insane then.

'There should be no problem if I eavesdrop, right?' When she was on her wit's end, the thought popped up.

Although the idea was quite bad and not in line with what a proper lady should behave, Ye Xinya couldn't care less. She half-circled the tent and tried to lean her ears on the part of the tent where at least the woman was located.

There was no sound coming there? Were they not speaking at all?

She wandered her eyes at the outer tent which was only made of thick black fabric. She was not really hearing anything at all for a minute. If those two were actually in the heights of their discussion, then she could only a.s.sume that the owner installed soundproofing or something for privacy. So annoying!!!

Now, what else could she do but to stand there lost in her thoughts, 'Will he tell me about it once their talk is over.'

The rear end of the tent was also next to a narrow road and on the opposite side were various stalls and shops. It might have been a puzzle why the female lead and male lead appear in that place, but they just did, and they ran into Ye Xinya who remained standing at the same spot.

Ren Lian was the one who saw her first and led Han Su to where she was. But instead of showing anger for her failed signing of contract before, what she planned was to showcase her kindness in front of the male lead.

"Miss Ye. Are you here by yourself? Even though the night market is a fairly safe place, it's still nighttime so there are some bad guys roaming around. Would you like to come with us?"

Those were the words she wanted to say. It was an opportunity to get back to what happened days ago and her eyes were already glowing in mischief as she thought of the stalls and places in the vicinity where she could make things difficult for the villainess.

Unfortunately, she didn't truly manage to say all of these because Han Su who was in a bad mood upon seeing Ye Xinya beat her to it. He spat out in a flat tone yet the statement was full of sarcasm, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss Ye. Isn't a good opportunity to continue our discussion last time? I remember I've yet to receive an explanation and compensation for the damage done to my car."

Ye Xinya frowned and then looked at the pair before her eyes settled on Han Su. At that time, she wished she didn't have a good memory so she could confidently say that she tends to forget unnecessary people and stuff. But well, she couldn't. And it was bad not to admit one's wrongdoings and apologize.

"Good eve. Don't worry, Mr. Han. There is just an emergency that day which left me helpless but to prioritize it. To be honest, it's not that I'm running away from the responsibility. In fact, for the past two days, I was waiting for the people from the repair shop to the Ye mansion so I could pay for it. Who would have thought instead of just bringing your car for repair and telling the people there to collect the payment from us, you actually waited for us to meet before asking for it?"

"How would I know if the Ye family would not deny it?" The male lead asked with a dark expression on his face.

The girl clicked her tongue because she couldn't believe what this person just said. "You're afraid of an established family doing what again?" She laughed mirthlessly, giving Ren Lian a look of pity because as she could see, the man the female lead was linking arms with was quite the stupid one. As a tactful lady, she didn't say of course what was on her mind. With a smile, she asked for Ren Lian's bank details and transferred some money to her through his mobile app.

"I've wired the money over. I'm leaving."

"Miss Ye won't want to hang out with us?" The female lead sported a pitiful look.

"No." Why would she want to be a third-wheel? If she was as the plot initially intended, somebody madly head over heels for Han Su, she would definitely dance along with the other girl's plot and then make a fool out of herself somewhere. She shook her head. "Excuse me. Someone is waiting for me."

When she was about to half-circle the tent of the fortune teller back to its true entrance, she heard a familiar voice coming in front. "Excuse me. That someone is impatient and simply decided to look for you."

She turned her head in surprise then unconsciously beamed. It was hateful being rubbed to her face that no one was accompanying her while those two were acting lovey-dovey with each other. Annoying. Didn't they know she and Jiang Li were one step ahead since they were officially engaged? Why was the eyesore girl who suddenly turned hostile to her since that day without reason looked as if she wanted her to die of jealousy of them?

"We met again, Mr. Jiang." Unlike the lack of warmth the male lead showed to the villainess, he was quite respectful to Jiang Li. Or more like, he was displaying both admiration and pity. As another person aware that he was Jing Mo, it was hard not to feel those two emotions toward Jiang Li upon being reminded of the greatest scandal of the year. How amazing that the subject of that stuff was here carefreely strolling the night with a beautiful lady, as if he was not the person shamed?

Jiang Li returned the greetings with a nod then glanced at the female lead who still kept giving Ye Xinya was an unfriendly gaze. "It seems you and Miss Ren are in the middle of a date. My fiancee and I won't bother you two. Enjoy sightseeing."

"Likewise." The male lead replied.

Ren Lian was irritated by the tight feeling in her chest so she spoke before those two could completely leave. "Mr. Jiang, Ms. Ye. Our Han Corporation CEO's birthday celebration will be three days from now on. May we send a formal letter of invitation to your address or the Ye mansion?"

Who knows what crossed her mind to say that? But after some time, she realized the outdoor party slash camping would be full of opportunities for her to exploit. The female lead couldn't really fight back against the desire to do or plan something untoward to the niece of that criminal.

Seeing the other woman's reaction, Jiang Li asked Ye Xinya, "Three days later is when we'll meet Dad with your grandpa, right?"

The kind of look he gave her was telling her, don't contradict, or else his question would turn into a lie and he would have to be punished by the Original.

Ye Xinya whose nerves were rubbed wrongly by Ren Lian's att.i.tude spoke apologetically. "I'm sorry, Ms. Ren and Mr. Han. We have an appointment on that date."

Finally, the villainess brought her fiance away from there.

As they walked towards where their car was parked, Ye Xinya remembered the real problem was not those two random people, but the fortune teller. Worriedly she poked her right forefinger on his back. "Hey, how did the talk go? What did she tell you?"

Jiang Li who couldn't lie had learned a bit of how to effectively distort or blurred the truth without making it sound like a lie replied with a sigh, "That woman only predicted my future with you. And I forced her to say nice things about it."

"You're lying," her stare told him. "You looked very scary a couple of minutes ago. I don't believe it's nothing big deal like what you said?"

"Well, I have a feeling she's not lying but I dislike cryptic messages so I talked with her and then discovered what she meant. Look, don't you think one of the little dramas that lady fortune teller said has just happened?"

They got into the car and mutually decided to head home now. The sched tomorrow was packed since the girl had been too enthusiastic in planning. An early need would be very much needed since her plans included many outdoor activities demanding on stamina.

As he drove the vehicle away, Ye Xinya seated on the pa.s.senger seat, he once looked through the rearview mirror to take a glimpse at the direction of the fortune teller's tent.

He recalled how their odd conversation flowed which started with him demanding to know if she was related to the system or the fate of the worlds.

She replied while looking at him like an idiot, "I am but a fortune teller. Teller. Not manipulator. How the heck will I get acquainted with things created or governed by high G.o.ds?"

"High G.o.ds?"

"Beings way above mortals, what else? I thought you were one because you mentioned a system or something that could bring you to different lifetimes. Oh. So you are not..." Nodding, she looked heavenward, then guessed, "Then are you perhaps a slave of a high G.o.d? Or a messenger?"

That time he didn't understand a thing of what she asked. However, he did become offended after being asked if he was a slave to a higher being. The source of irritation in his heart was that he did feel like he was one, the system the living proof of it.

"What did you see in her then? I saw how you reacted after you take a good look at her." He next said as he suppressed the anger rising within him.

Looking at her black-painted nails, the woman narrowed her eyes, "Oh. That? Well, I'm an authentic fortune teller who can see the past lifetime, existing events in the current lifetime, and future events in the current lifetime. Is it my fault that I got intrigued why somebody like her...."

The woman playfully hanged her sentence and laughed. "Ooops, I can't tell, or else, the heavens or fate or whatever it was, would take away my ability. I would die then since I'm just a woman fed by my fortune-telling business."

Jiang Li tried to offer, "I can give you a whole building and a sum of money to help you with your livelihood if you tell me what you know. If there's something else you need, as long as it's a request within the scope of my ability, I'll grant it. What do you say?"

She snickered, "Unless you present to me a billion-dollar company I wouldn't trade my only source of income and joy for anything. Otherwise, I'll just kill myself. Anyways, you're a ghost who lived at least the same amount of time as me. Since you don't seem to be brainless, only rude and arrogant, I don't believe you don't have a guess in your mind."

He lowered his head then and pondered over her statements. Before leaving, he said, "Thanks for all the information then. But I'm curious, saving seen who I am in the past life, if you're as simple as you claimed to be, how come you're not afraid that I'd kill you for not telling me what I wanted to know?"

"What's your guess?" There was no fear in the woman's eyes despite feeling the full pressure and aura of a veteran general pouring down on her whole body.

"You're a liar, witch."

He remembered sneering as he walked out, but deep within, he had made up his mind to not ever come back there since the person was giving him a dangerous aura he never felt since he became a task-taker.

A person who could glimpse at events taking place in another world... and also did not truly show fear when mentioning mythical beings called high G.o.ds. Who the h.e.l.l would say she was harmless and ordinary?

"Jiang Li, I just thought of it now. What do you think went on between Grandpa and the CEO?"

"Maybe about business partners.h.i.+p? If not, then marriage?" The man laughed, choosing to give the issue more thoughts once back home.
