Chapter 65: The Vice President is Secretly a Sadist (17)
When Rong Sheng and Wen Hua finally arrived, it was just about dinner time. Yin Mei had considered cooking for everyone, but why would she expend the effort when there was already an extremely skilled chef already here cooking?
But she still hadn't forgotten her plan of getting Yao Heyan hooked onto her cooking, so that she had a way to manipulate him, just like he did with sweets. Yes, Yin Mei had realized that Yao Heyan had been subtly using the carrot and stick technique, and that she fell way too easily to pastries.
It couldn't be helped though. All the pastries that Yao Heyan got her tasted way too good! This wasn't something that she could control.
That night, considering that the only one here who had an extensive experience in gaming was Yin Mei, Yin Mei decided to introduce them to all sorts of good games. Although the villa didn't have any consoles or games, the family of the staff would certainly have some.
So the butler's son brought over his gaming console to set up, providing them with a few recommended games like M*rio P*rty or something.
Yin Mei recalled the classic saying - "Mar*o Part* destroys friendships."
Mm, she decided to joyfully play it with her wonderful friends plus fiancé.
And she watched dumbfounded as all three of them were crushed by Wen Hua. What the f*ck. Why didn't she know that Wen Hua possessed such outstanding gaming talent? What happened to being a noob that had never touched a console in her life? Yin Mei wanted to call customer service to demand some answers, but there were none to be found.
So, she decided to ditch M*rio Part* and play another game. And another. And then after consecutive defeats, she moved on to card games. After more consecutive defeats, she decided to try games that didn't require anything.
And the result was that Wen Hua was the winner.
Even Rong Sheng and Yao Heyan couldn't help but be shocked at how she had won through sheer luck. This was unfathomable. One of the world's new seven mysteries! Was this the true power of a beloved daughter of heaven?? Was this what they meant when they said that Lady Luck was on your side!?
Yin Mei wanted to revolt.
Wasn't god just being too biased?
In the end, she went to sleep without winning a single game, while Yao Heyan and Rong Sheng had both one a single game each, in the vast number of games that they had played that night. Yin Mei could only explain it by saying Rong Sheng was the beloved son of heaven, and Yao Heyan was the only one who could compete with said son of heaven on almost equal terms.
It wasn't that Yin Mei didn't have the skill. She simply just didn't have the luck, okay?
The next few days were very peaceful. For Yin Mei, who didn't like losing, she would force the other three to compete in games every single night. Rong Sheng didn't mind, as he was also a sore loser, and Wen Hua would of course go along with most things. As for Yao Heyan, he could only smile wryly and accompany the three of them to play.
Meanwhile in the mornings, they would do all sorts of beach related activities, and even played things like beach volleyball... but because Wen Hua was pregnant, the son of the butler, who was a little bit older than them, played with them instead. For Yin Mei, she could win about one out of three times with Yao Heyan against Rong Sheng. Yin Mei blamed his protagonist halo for her loss, though she did know that Rong Sheng had quite a good amount of experience in sports and martial arts.
They would also go snorkeling, or hiking, which Wen Hua did accompany them to do, since this sort of exercise was not too hard on her body and also good for the baby.
Yin Mei felt that these relaxing days would continue, having let her guard down. It seems that Wen Hua was fine, and it wasn't like there was anyone they needed to worry about here, right?
But of course, there was no way that things would go that easily when it came to Wen Hua.
"It seems that a typhoon will be hitting us soon. We probably will have to wait for it to blow over before going back to the mainland." Rong Sheng said, as he turned off the news that had just been reporting the course of the typhoon.
Yin Mei wanted to say something about this being the perfect opportunity for them to be killed off one by one... a summer villa and a storm, what a truly perfect combination for a mystery!
That night, Yin Mei was unable to sleep. To be more exact, she was too excited to sleep. The sound of the ran pelting the windows, the wind howling against the trees, and the sound and flashes of thunder were keeping her just as awake as the prospect of the world's genre changing from campus romance to murder mystery.
She finally got up to go get a cup of water, anticipating this to be the moment in time where she was either about to be murdered, or happened to find a dead body.
As she neared the staircase, she heard and odd thud sound, and conveniently, a bolt of lightning lit up a shadowy figure with piercing eyes at the top of the staircase, who quickly turned around and ran away without noticing Yin Mei's presence.
She couldn't tell much of their features, but they looked to be a girl, wearing a fluttery skirt that was reminiscent of the maid's uniform here.
Yin Mei: Wait, will this really turn into a murder mystery?
She quickly went to the staircase, looking down to see Wen Hua on the floor down below, wearing a pained face as she clutched her stomach.
What the f*ck! She felt she was really saying this way too often, but the situations just kept on warranting this kind of profanity from her mouth. She couldn't help but think that it can't be that Wen Hua was going to have the miscarriage right now, right?
"Help! Someone help!" Yin Mei immediately yelled out, and fumbled around looking for the light switch.
By the time she had found it and turned it on, Rong Sheng and Yao Heyan had already come out of their rooms, along with a few of the servants who lived in the rooms downstairs.
"What is it?" Yao Heyan asked in a confused manner, when he saw that Yin Mei looked completely fine.
"Somebody's dead- is not what I mean! Wen Hua looks like she's about to miscarry!" Yin Mei replied, last minute fixing her words and making Yao Heyan raise an eyebrow to that.
Hearing this, Rong Sheng's face changed slightly, as he headed in the direction that Yin Mei was pointing in to see Wen Hua collapsed at the bottom of the stairs. He immediately went down to check her condition, while ordering one of the servants to go find the doctor. But in this sort of weather, even though the doctor lived nearby, it would be dangerous to go out to look for him.
Even so, Rong Sheng ordered it, so the servants could all only decide to help out together.
Yin Mei observed the servants. There were a total of five who stayed in the villa, four of them youths, and one of them an elderly man. There was an even split of two and two girls and boys. They stayed at the villa due to either having no family at all, or simply living apart from their family, and as such, didn't need an entire house to themselves.
Because Yin Mei had only gotten a glimpse of the person who seemed to have pushed Wen Hua down, and had mostly only caught a shadowy figure, she was unable to decide if any of the ones here were the person that she'd seen. But she decided that it must be among the people here. After all, that person hadn't looked wet, had they? And it didn't seem like any of the doors had been opened? So they couldn't have come from outside, or gone out from the villa...
Yin Mei concluded that it should be highly unlikely that the person was from outside. As such, there were only the two girls here. The question would be why they would do it? And were they involved in the drugging incident as well?
Yao Heyan put a hand on her shoulder, shaking her back to attention, as he glanced downstairs. Yin Mei understood his meaning and the two headed down, where Yin Mei sat on one of the armchairs, while Ron Sheng impatiently paced back in forth in front of Wen Hua, who occasionally groaned in pain.
"What in the world happened?" He could only ask Yin Mei, trying to take his thoughts off of things.
He looked toward the girl who appeared in deep thought, seeming to pause for a moment before opening her mouth. "I wasn't able to sleep, so I went to go get a cup of water." She said simply, and Yao Heyan and Rong Sheng nodded their heads.
"At that time, I saw a person at the top of the staircase, though they didn't seem to see me. They ran the other way, for the servant's staircase." Yin Mei said, and Ron Sheng stiffened. "When I went to the staircase to go down, I saw Wen Hua." She ended.
At this moment, Yin Mei was observing the reactions of the two girls who had remained. Although one showed a little interest in their conversation, her expression didn't change at all. Yin Mei couldn't decide if the girl had even heard their conversation or not. The other one had just exited the kitchen with a pot of tea, so she probably didn't hear it.
"So someone pushed her? Do you remember who this person looked like?" Rong Sheng said, his face immediately darkening as his voice turned slightly sinister.
"Uhh... no, sorry." Yin Mei said. She also wanted to add on that a person shouldn't trust witness testimonies, as they were extremely unreliable. But thinking that made Yin Mei almost start to doubt if the person she saw had really been wearing a skirt at all. Or was it even a person!? Maybe it was a figment of her imagination?
After a while, she dispelled her doubts though. She wouldn't go so far as to say that she hadn't seen the person at all, but she also was still a little doubting of the whole skirt thing. She decided that she wouldn't let the shadow of a skirt limit her search, and decided to include the two male servants among her suspect list.
Anyways, for all she knew, one of the guys could have changed their clothes in that split second, though she wouldn't know why they would have been wearing a skirt anyways.
Yin Mei hummed and hawed, her brows furrowing as she fell into deep thought. But she was interrupted by Yao Heyan (again, for the nth time), as she spoke. "Rong Sheng! She's bleeding," he said, motioning toward Wen Hua, who started to bleed down there.
She was actually miscarrying now? And the doctor still wasn't here yet. It seemed she really wasn't fated with this child.
Yin Mei was correct. By the time the doctor arrived, drenched and a complete mess, along with the other two servants, the baby was already gone. He could only sigh and treat Wen Hua, prescribing a few things so that her health wasn't impaired and that she wouldn't have problems with having children later on.
Yin Mei and the two boys were waiting outside of her room, and Rong Sheng's expression was almost like that of a demon from hell. "There no reason for one of the servants to do it. They must've been bought out." He said, and Yin Mei blinked. She hadn't thought of that. It was true though, this certainly seemed like a likely possibility.
In that case, she thought if she just left it to Rong Sheng, he could certainly discover the mastermind in no time. Then her curiosity would also be resolved. She really was wondering who the mastermind was in place of He Lanying.
The summer break had started out so happily, but ended on a tragic note with the loss of a baby.
Wen Hua was absolutely devastated. Although granted the baby was an accident, and at age 15, she probably couldn't have properly cared for it anyways, she had already grown attached after the weeks it was in her belly.
Yin Mei didn't dare comfort Wen Hua, as her comforting would only be insincere anyways. She felt that only the male lead could comfort her properly, to which she urged Rong Sheng to do so, despite being busy with finding the mastermind. It would be terrible if he was so hung up on revenge that he would neglect the female lead in this delicate time of her life.
Rong Sheng also understood this point. For a f*cking virgin, he was really experienced in the ways of a girl's heart, wasn't he? She thought that Yao Heyan was the same in this point too! Thinking about it just made her angry.
In another place, Yao Heyan sneezed delicately, not knowing that Rong Sheng had brought disaster upon himself. If he found out, he would definitely be dumbfounded and would want to say that he really didn't understand girls at all...
After a couple of weeks, Rong Sheng succeeded in coercing (torturing) the servant responsible to spit out the name of the person who ordered them to do the job. It seemed that his prediction had been on the spot, and the servant (one of the girls; in the end, it hadn't been a trap) had indeed been paid to do it.
She didn't know who the true mastermind was, and had been asked from online. Although the person had hidden their traces well, Rong Sheng was still able to hire a skilled hacker to track them down.
The result was shocking - it was actually Rong Sheng's little sister! What the f*ck! What the f*ck! Yin Mei felt the desire to say this phrase that she had repeated so many times already a little more.
This girl turned the female lead's follower had actually been both the cause of the drugged s*x and the miscarriage. This was way too shocking.
Of course, Rong Sheng was also completely shocked. He couldn't believe that his little sister that he doted on and spoiled for so many years would actually harm the girl he loved, and even cause that girl to miscarry his child.
Yin Mei was completely unable to say anything and subtly withdrew herself from this delicate family drama situation.
She saw nothing, heard nothing.
She sent a prayer to the heavens, thinking that she could no longer predict how the relationship between these people would go. She didn't expect that at all.
(A/N: Because I came up with it just now)
She might as well categorize it among another new mystery of the world! This sort of dog blood drama that was only found in TV shows; she had now personally experienced for herself... She thought that after all, maybe it was better that movies and TV shows should stay on the screen and out of real life.

littlemist
littlemist Thanks for all the comforting words, guys! Having such supportive readers motivates me to continue writing more~ Is what I say as I proceed to barely write anything :V
Also I legit started to write some terrible foreshadowing of bad things happening before deleting and rewrote it like oops. I think I got too used to BE that I just started to naturally write it in that direction LOL. But don't worry. I deleted that. And rewrote it. It's important enough to say that twice.
