“Silin, I’m sick. Can you come see me today?”
Meng Mian sipped her milk tea through a straw as she listened to the last voice message the original owner had sent to the male lead, Ji Silin.
She had already listened to this voice message several times.
The voice is way too cutesy and fake.
She had transmigrated into the book half an hour ago.
Into a novel she had once read, called The Cold-Faced Powerholder’s Domineering Doting Wife.
She had become the male lead’s vicious ex-girlfriend, who shared her name.
The book mentioned this ex-girlfriend only a few times.
Essentially, after the original owner started dating the male lead, a top-tier wealthy family powerholder, she would always find excuses to make him transfer money to her, draining him for cash.
She also wanted to win the male lead’s heart and marry into the top-tier wealthy family, so she pestered him every single day.
She even went so far that, whenever she learned which socialite heiress the male lead’s parents had their eye on, wanting him to marry that heiress, she would go insane and harm that woman.
In the end, of course, the male lead broke up with her. She got her comeuppance and was locked up for life.
Only after breaking up with the original owner did the male lead meet the female lead, fall in love at first sight, pursue her, and finally, the male and female leads lived happily together.
Right now, the original owner and the male lead had only been dating for five days.
The moment she realized who she had transmigrated into, Meng Mian’s first instinct was to break up with the male lead.
She didn’t want to date anyone.
Especially not the male lead, who would end up with the female lead in the end.
But although the original owner hadn’t yet viciously harmed anyone, she had already made the male lead transfer money to her multiple times, three million yuan in total.
And the original owner had already spent all of it.
The original owner’s bank card now had only two thousand yuan left.
She had taken so much money from him right after they started dating, and she didn’t have that kind of money on hand to pay him back and cut ties.
How could Meng Mian bring up a breakup with the male lead?
She could only wait for him to do it.
And at most three months from now, the male lead would break up with her.
The book explicitly stated that the male lead didn’t like the original owner at all.
He had agreed to date the original owner purely because he was already twenty-seven and didn’t have a single female mosquito by his side. Even his family had started questioning his sexual orientation.
He was sick of the constant pestering.
It just so happened that the original owner blocked his path and confessed to him, saying she liked him, so he agreed.
And right then, he told the original owner that he didn’t like her. He just needed a girlfriend for the time being. If she didn’t mind, they could date.
They agreed to date for only three months before breaking up.
What he didn’t expect was that when the three months were up and he had already prepared the breakup fee and was about to break up with the original owner, the original owner actually went and viciously harmed someone. Of course he broke up with her even more decisively.
Meng Mian wasn’t worried at all.
The pressing matter was dealing with the last voice message the original owner had sent to the male lead.
By the time she transmigrated, the message could no longer be recalled.
The original owner was really something. Her card only had two thousand yuan left, so she wanted to ask the male lead for money again.
And because she had only met the male lead once so far, back when the original owner confessed and the male lead agreed to date her.
Today, the original owner had sent the male lead this voice message, lying that she was sick, hoping he would come see her.
In truth, she wanted the male lead to come over so she could seduce him and have sex with him.
She figured that would let her ask him for even more money.
Right after sending the voice message, the original owner had started dressing herself up.
But she was so excited while getting ready that she accidentally tripped, and just like that, she was gone.
And then Meng Mian had transmigrated in.
But that voice the original owner used with the male lead, she genuinely couldn’t imitate it. She couldn’t put on that affected voice.
Forget it.
Meng Mian wasn’t going to make things hard on herself.
I’ll just be myself.
There were so many people in the world, and she wasn’t the only one who could have a drastic personality change. All those people who changed personalities were fine. Surely she wouldn’t be the one to run into trouble just because she changed.
Only then did Meng Mian use her normal speaking voice and send Ji Silin a voice message, utterly natural.
“I was joking. I’m not sick. No need to come see me.”
Ever since she started dating Ji Silin, the original owner had sent him many voice messages every day.
Ji Silin did reply.
But maybe because he was busy with work, he never replied immediately. It was always quite a while before he responded.
And every reply was only a few words, without a trace of emotion.
Meng Mian had no intention of waiting for Ji Silin’s reply.
With her easygoing attitude, she set down her milk tea and phone, hummed a tune, and went to remove her makeup and change clothes.
To seduce the male lead, the original owner had already put on extremely sexy, revealing clothes.
She had also carefully done her makeup.
It was just that the original owner’s taste was clearly questionable. She thought heavy makeup was beautiful.
And every time she did her makeup, she went overboard. The makeup on her face was so thick that no one could see her original appearance at all.
Ji Group.
Ji Silin had just finished a meeting.
When he returned to his office, he heard his phone on the desk chime.
Ji Silin picked it up and took a look.
Seeing it was a voice message from Meng Mian, he didn’t really want to listen.
Honestly, Meng Mian’s voice made him uncomfortable all over.
But he had agreed. She was his girlfriend now. No matter what, he couldn’t just ignore her.
Ji Silin still tapped in.
Seeing that Meng Mian had only sent him two voice messages today in total, a far cry from the past few days, he didn’t pay it much mind.
He listened to the one sent over forty minutes ago first.
“Silin, I’m sick. Can you come see me today?”
Sure enough, he felt physically uncomfortable again.
So cutesy, so fake, like she doesn’t know how to talk normally.
Ji Silin’s brow pressed down low.
He expected the recently sent message to be the same.
But unexpectedly, what he heard instead was a sweet voice, soft and sweet.
“I was joking. I’m not sick. No need to come see me.”
Ji Silin was stunned for a moment.
Is this Meng Mian’s voice?
He listened again. It was indeed Meng Mian’s voice, just without the put-on tone. Not fake. Normal.
She can clearly speak normally. Why did she always use that tone before?
Ji Silin didn’t understand.
Ji Silin didn’t bother digging into it either.
Always a man of few words, he only replied with a single “Mm.”
He was about to set down his phone,
but thinking of that soft voice just now, which was clearly much nicer than the voice Meng Mian had been putting on,
I really shouldn’t keep torturing my own ears.
Ji Silin sent Meng Mian another message.
And transferred her one million yuan.
Meng Mian changed into loungewear, removed her makeup, and returned to the living room with a fresh face.
She picked up her phone and saw three messages.
[Ji Silin: Mm.]
[Ji Silin: Talk like this from now on.]
There was also a bank notice.
[Bank Notice: Ji Silin transferred you one million yuan.]
He transferred me a million just for a small request like that?
So the male lead couldn’t stand the original owner’s put-on voice either?
Meng Mian gave a little nod and replied obediently, “Okay, I’ll talk like this from now on.”
She thought for a moment, then asked, “You transferred me so much money. In the future, if we break up, will you want it back?”
Although the book said the male lead had good character and was a top-tier wealthy family powerholder with plenty of money, he probably wouldn’t ask for the money back after a breakup.
But she still wanted to ask clearly.
Ji Silin had just sat down in his boss’s chair and picked up a document to read.
He heard his phone chime again.
He wasn’t at all surprised that Meng Mian agreed to talk normally from now on.
These past few days, Meng Mian had been finding all sorts of ways to hint that he should transfer her money.
Now he had transferred her money again, with only such a small request. It would have been strange if she didn’t agree.
But when he heard Meng Mian ask in that sweet, soft voice whether he would want the money back if they broke up in the future,
he was somewhat surprised.
This was the first time Meng Mian had talked to him about money so directly.
So straightforward, even mentioning a future breakup.
Good. This is how it should be, spelled out clearly.
Our relationship was no different from a transaction from the start.
