Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 26: The Onlookers

[I feel like Jin Lan is seducing me. This woman is really up to no good.]

[Damn, I never realized Jin Lan has such a great figure. This figure … just one glance can quench any fire.]

[Today she had me accompany her to buy clothes. I think this is her way of tempting me. I’m absolutely not overthinking this. Damn it, I can’t handle this.]

[Can’t you female leads learn from Lin Qingyue? Look, Lin Qingyue has already interacted with Ye Aotian.]

[They must’ve gone on a date. Yes, that’s it. As expected, the main female lead is the main female lead, always playing her part.]

[She wants to take me to a bar tonight. She can’t really be planning to wear something too revealing, can she? Please don’t; I’m already nervous.]

Jin Lan looked at the update, her lips curling slightly. So, this is what he thinks about me, huh? Praising me while acting clueless. Who would’ve thought he’s thinking this way about me?

The reason Jin Lan went to buy clothes was that Chen Fan had constantly complained that she only ever wore the same outfit or, at best, the same type of clothes.

In the original novel, Jin Lan mostly appeared in a suit, since as an official, she couldn’t wear anything else.

[Although the novel says she wears suits to formal events, at home, she’s quite uninhibited. This woman has a strange habit.]

[She likes to collect lingerie. Damn.]

[There’s way too much description of her pajamas in the original novel, all sorts of weird and wild styles. Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, I have a hunch this woman isn’t a good person either.]

[At her age, what is she trying to prove by learning from others? Going to bars, even heading to Li Long’s place? Doesn’t she know that Li Long is about to be in serious trouble? At this time, she should be getting closer to Zheng Qiang.]

The diary stopped updating there.

Jin Lan opened her wardrobe, and actually, she didn’t have that much lingerie. At home, she was used to keeping things simple.

Does Chen Fan think that in the future I’d become someone else’s woman, actively serving someone? How could that be? I’m not that bored, am I? Maybe I am.

She glanced at the few new sets she had just bought. These were just something she picked out on a whim.

Who knew they’d make Chen Fan think this way.

Should I buy a few more?

Jin Lan liked to go with the flow. Put simply, Jin Lan and Lin Qingyue had different personalities. Lin Qingyue lacked much rationality. The more she understood her situation, the more she resisted certain storylines.

Jin Lan, on the other hand, was aware of her situation and decided to wait and see how things developed before making decisions based on the circumstances.

After all, everyone lived within certain rules. And who in this world didn’t live by some sort of rule?

Seeing the diary made Lin Qingyue fume.

Damn it, is that what Ye Aotian is telling people about me? Who went on a date with him? I just had someone beat him up! How did that turn into a date? Even if you’re going to lie, there should be a limit!

In the original novel, it was true that Lin Qingyue interacted with Ye Aotian today, and Chen Fan was merely guessing based on the plot.

But in reality, things were different.

“Second Uncle.”

Lin Youdong, who had just been transferred to a new post, came in and said, “What’s wrong, Xiaoyue?”

“You had someone beat up Ye Aotian, and then what?”

“Uh, we just beat him up. This guy’s pretty tough, not someone to be underestimated. If any of the guys with him had decent skills, they might’ve been caught off guard.”

“I mean, what did Ye Aotian say?”

What did he say?

“I think he asked, ‘Did Chen Fan send you?’ The thugs didn’t tell him who sent them.”

“What else?”

“At that time, Chen Fan was eating noodles with Jin Lan, so Ye Aotian probably misunderstood. Which is good, because now no one will suspect you.”

This is not good at all! You should suspect me; you should question me. This is so frustrating.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyue?”

“Nothing. Go back to your work, Second Uncle. Also, train more people. The company needs more people to handle things. I’ve been too soft before. Sometimes brute force is more effective than strategy.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it. By the way, about the company’s financial issues …”

“Are you asking me to intercede?”

Lin Youdong shook his head and said, “No, forget it. This is the world of the young now. We older folks want to retire and still need to listen to you.”

After saying this, Lin Youdong turned to leave.

“Wait a moment, Second Uncle.”

Lin Youdong stopped and looked at Lin Qingyue.

“Li Long just opened a new bar?”

“Yes, it’s in the western part of Qincheng. He consolidated a few of his previous bars and opened a bigger one. Also, recently, Li Long and Zheng Qiang somehow got their hands on a new formula, and a lot of people like to go there now.”

“Is the bar lively?”

“Very lively. Lots of young people, and it’s not cheap.”

“Do you have anyone really skilled by your side?”

What’s this? Is she planning to cause trouble?

Lin Youdong hurriedly advised, “Xiaoyue, our family is in real estate. They’re in the nightclub business. There’s no need to cause trouble, right?”

Cause trouble?

Lin Qingyue said, “I mean, send someone to protect me. I’m planning to go to the bar and take a look, sit for a while.”

Huh? Why would you want to go to a bar? Too much stress?

“You mean, send someone to protect you secretly? You want to go have a drink alone?”

“Mm, I’ve been a bit busy lately. If I go with too much fanfare, it’ll be troublesome. I just want to relax by myself.”

Only then did Lin Youdong understand and nodded, saying, “Yes, we have a few highly skilled people. I’ll arrange it. These two will always follow you for protection.”

After speaking, Lin Youdong went off to handle things.

Lin Qingyue looked at the diary. Actually, she did have the urge to go to the bar today, but she quickly suppressed it.

If I go, I’ll definitely run into Ye Aotian. There’s no doubt about it. That guy is like a ghost that won’t go away.

But after seeing that Chen Fan and Jin Lan were going to the bar, and that Jin Lan seemed to be seducing Chen Fan … This made Lin Qingyue uncomfortable.

Although she didn’t know what kind of relationship she and Chen Fan would have in the future, compared to Ye Aotian, Lin Qingyue didn’t dislike Chen Fan as much.

Subconsciously, Lin Qingyue was uncomfortable with Chen Fan interacting with other women. Even if it’s just a female, it doesn’t sit well with her.

So, she decided to go and see for herself what would happen tonight.
