บท 76: Feng Ru (34)
'A liar left those who know her lies with those who don't?'
Jiang Li didn't have to guess what would happen next.
He had full confidence in his friends. They would surely expose Tang Lan. Cheng Du or Xie Delan might even ask the girls to pretend they still didn't know. Then once the female lead goes back after realizing her blunder, she'd sigh in relief and only scold herself a little for being absent-minded. After that, she'd secretly thank the heavens that his 'boyfriend's friends' had sharp tongue but dull minds.
'If I'm only patient, I'd let her run out declaring I'm her boyfriend and allow her to pull off the jealousy play with Gu Feng, the male lead. I'll then wait for some time before having an insider from the university reveal her lies or sue her for libel and spreading false rumors about a celebrity. Her friends will either betray her or look at her differently. Her social life would then be impacted negatively. But that's it. Not destroyed. Her female lead halo will surely let her bounce back after.'
'I'd definitely hate to that outcome. Also, I'm not that patient.'
Jiang Li raised his head. He was leaning against the wall opposite the female restroom.
Tang Lan almost jumped in shock when she saw him there.
"He Chen!" She exclaimed. A second later, she angrily snarled. "Why are you here acting like a damn creep?!"
'Coz I want to, why not?' He said to himself with mild irritation.
"Is it fun lying to my innocent mom and having her pass your message to me when I ignored yours?" His arms crossed, he immediately asked the question that made him seethe in rage for quite a while now.
The Original was actually the main culprit for not informing Mother He that he had long broken up with this woman. He was impacted since the memory about it had just popped up on his mind. But still, the main problem was how this female lead wanted to use his status and fame to boost her ego wounded by the male lead's rejection.
On how he knew the last part? It was because, after their last rehearsal, he accidentally 'checked' the two leads' conversation on FB and read Tang Lan persistently asking Gu Feng why he kept saying he only sees her as a friend and a little sister.
The woman's face showed discontent. "Those fangirls wanted to meet you. I was dared by them. I just have no choice since you're ignoring my messages. Such a small favor, what's the big deal about it?"
She felt wronged. In her mind, she was the victim of the circumstances.
"Dared? No choice?"
What a vague and misleading answer. If he was the real He Chen, the guy would surely mistake it for her friends pressuring her to invite him over. But...
"How did they know you are related to me?" He asked.
Without evading his gaze, she answered, "My cousin told them. She thought we are still together and accidentally brought up the matter when they saw her dormmates watching your band's video. There is a complicated reason behind it but the gist is, I have to help her make a good impression on her dormmates. That Jiang Rou, the skinny one, is the daughter of my cousin's employer."
The last part was true, but everything else was not. She would never admit it was her who had a slip of a tongue and claimed she was a popular band's vocalist's girlfriend.
Tang Lan gave a vague answer knowing He Chen would take the initiative to fill in the rest of the blanks for her. Unfortunately, while she was correct, she didn't know the one in front of her only had that foolish' man's appearance, but with a different soul inside.
Jiang Li laughed. This time, he had confirmed this female lead was used to lying. Actually, she had long been used to making excuses since, in his memories, the woman always had many reasons to refuse 'his' requests for a date, or even simple ones like holding hands.
Tang Lan always wanted to receive, but not give back. The problem with the Original was that he tolerated this woman and gave his everything without receiving anything in return.
"In the end, I never get a good explanation why you have to lie to my mom and have me involve in this."
She wrinkled her small nose. "Just stop asking questions and being fussy, He Chen. It should be asking you, why didn't you say anything earlier when your friends are humiliating me? Do you know how embarrassed I felt when you didn't stand up for me?"
"Why would I speak up for you?" His tone was so low and his eyes unreadable.
"... I already said I'll be your girlfriend again." Tang Lan didn't understand what's so hard to comprehend about it. Wasn't this what he wanted for so long? The woman forgot this matter was concluded half a month ago and that he was now trying to move on from her.
'Look at this...' The response he received made him cover his face and cackle.
Time was running out. Those at the table would surely begin to wonder why they were still not back. Because of this, Jiang Li decided it would be sheer stupidity to let her torture him more with her outrageous nonsense.
He gave the female lead a cold glance and then suddenly dashed towards her.
"H-hey, what are you do---?!" The surprised woman widened her eyes at the closed fist that suddenly descended to her. A second later, waves of pain registered in her brain. It was unbelievable. But He Chen actually dared to punch her in the stomach!
"Uggggghhhh!" She whimpered in pain, her body dropping weakly on the ground, accompanied by a loud thud.
"To be honest, I've been itching to do this ever since you caused me to get scolded me for neglecting a woman pretending to be my lover."
With her face contorted, she cursed, "He Chen! Y-you're crazy!"
The man he called crazy expressionlessly kicked her stomach area again. The strength he put on that leg made her fly back into the restroom. He followed her inside and checked if there was no one inside. That was his only worry since the outside of the place was safe from prying eyes.
"Y-you!" The girl had a frightened face put on after recovering from the blow. She saw him lock the whole place. "B-beast! What are you planning to do!?" Her trembling eyes were so wide and she was badly stuttering.
Think about it. A man assaulted the woman he previously liked and locked the two of them inside an empty restroom. What other conclusions would the woman have apart from 'that'?
'Weapon, I must find a weapon.' Enduring the pain, her eyes busily swam around. She bit her lips when she found the expressionless man approaching her, feeling helpless since there was nothing to grab at the corner where she was.
"H-HELP! HELP!" Tang Lan who was shivering as she clutched on her abdomen almost plastered herself on the wall.
"No one will help you, sorry." Like a bad guy that he was, Jiang Li laughingly replied.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME! STAY AWAY! YOU BEAST, DON'T COME NEAR ME! AAAAHHHHH!"
She was really scared by his sudden acts of violence and the unnerving expression on his handsome face. He looked like a devil! He wanted to sully her! He wanted to take revenge against her and make her life a living hell! As a female lead, whose name would she shout apart from the male lead's?
"GU FENGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!"
Jiang Li indifferently strode towards her who kept backing away from him.
"Oh? That police officer? Sorry, he's in a night patrol again today. Unfortunately, his area of jurisdiction is five miles from him. Even if you have the best vocal cords in the world, your voice won't still reach him. Unless the two of you are connected telepathically."
Deafened by the loud drumming sounds inside her chest, Tang Lan did not hear him and thus didn't realize how weird it was for him to know about the male lead's schedule and location. She resumed shouting, "HELP!!! RAPE!!! RAPE!!! AAAAHHHHHH!"
The man who had long decided to shed his gentleman facade got annoyed. Was she still conscious because she was the favored daughter of heaven? Her mouth was so damnably loud! Thinking of this, he raised his palm in the air to deliver a chop on her nape.
When she lost consciousness, he scoffed, "Finally some peace. I felt stupid for not just doing this right off the bat. I would have saved my brain from overworking trying to understand how the brain of an egoistic woman works."
Tang Lan fell on the ground in an unsightly posture. There were tears dangling on her long eyelashes and her pale face devoid of blood looked so pitiful. However, she actually doesn't deserve pity.
For Jiang Li, it was okay using violence against her for she was not human. Apart from her lying to his mom and her many instances of acting b*tchy earlier, this damnable female lead hides something nastier behind her normal, author genius exterior.
Were her offensive words or harsh treatment of He Chen enough of a reason? No!
If he was to compare her to anybody from the previous world, then it would be that 'golden bachelor scum' Cheng Yijun.
In actuality, he didn't mind letting this person run around freely for a while despite knowing all her disgusting secrets. Just who would have thought she'll suddenly provoke him?
Does she know? He hated women who think they were entitled to treat some men as their spare tires. He hated being reminded of that b*tch that did the same to him in his original world.
'I forgot to tell her, even the previous world's leads who basically have no contact with me are almost driven mad and destroyed by me. Now, what should I do with a pest-like woman like her?'
"Feng Ru, I just remembered. That policeman Gu Feng used to be interested in Na Yu due to that case of a ghost possession. This vile woman wants to be his subject of interest too. Let's help her, okay?"
"..."
Jiang Li showed a very wide smile, seeing the body lying sprawled on the tiled floor slowly rising.
Now it was revealed why he used violence against the female lead. Of course, he despised her, so much that if it not for knowing the world would not let him, he would have just killed her. Sadly if he attempted this, he would only end up wasting energy. Because of this, he just beat her up until she fainted.
This was his goal from the start, to make it easier for the villainess to possess Tang Lan's body!

FallenBlue FallenBlue: Is it true that if a female MC beats up a guy, it's okay, but if it's the other way around, even if the girl is somewhat evil, the male MC will still become very hateful to people's eyes?
Sis Author 1: True.
Sis Author 2: Gents' code. Must be a gentleman at all times, probably?
Jiang Li: Tch. Double standards. Thankfully, my conscience and sense of shame have long been eaten by zombies so I'll be okay! Come, hate me!!! I fear nothing!
