Quick Transmigration: The Villain Saving System

"Lanying, can you come with me to pick some stuff up from the culture committee?" Yao Heyan asked the next day. He had been trying to figure out ways to make up with He Lanying, but he still had no idea why she had gotten angry at him.

Yin Mei reluctantly nodded, standing up and going with Yao Heyan to the culture committee.

The silence between them almost felt heavy, as it weighed down on the two who were occupied with their own thoughts.

Yin Mei was trying to figure out a way to ruin the relationship between Yao Heyan and Wen Hua (although they didn't even have one in the first place), while Yao Heyan was still trying to figure out why He Lanying seemed so upset at him right now.

It had started when they went to visit He Cheng in the elementary section's student council room. He recalled what he had said that could've upset her? Hadn't he just commented on the relationship between that little girl and He Cheng? Hm? Now that he thought about it, didn't she go and lecture He Cheng about how he shouldn't trust girls right after he said that?

But why would that be the case? He then quickly made the association with Wen Hua. After all, there were many similarities in that He Cheng was also the president of the student council (though he was much more dutiful than Rong Sheng about it), and how Wen Hua had a similar type of appearance to that little girl.

He felt slightly upset inside. So she didn't like the girl because she was similar to Wen Hua? Then doesn't that mean she was jealous about it after all, still possessing feelings for Rong Sheng?

The air between them grew even gloomier, but they soon arrived at the temporary headquarters for the culture committee.

Yao Heyan was talking to the head of the committee about something, but Yin Mei wasn't really paying attention. If it was important, he would mention it in the group chat later.

In the end, the two walked back with large stacks of papers each, all needing to be approved. Yin Mei was feeling a little bit of hate toward the festival at this point. No matter how busy they got, or how much spending they used, or all those contracts and funding they received, wasn't this amount of paper work a little bit too much?

When Yin Mei and Yao Heyan walked into the room, the only two people there were Wen Hua and Rong Sheng. Rong Sheng didn't even look up, typing something on his computer, while Wen Hua would occasionally shoot the man glances while blushing.

Yin Mei watched this pink flowery scene with dead fish eyes. What the f*ck did you guys do while we were gone? She wanted to ask. She even further wanted to ask - playing around while the rest of us are so busy, can you please just kill yourselves already?

But of course, no one could read her mind, so she just set the pile of papers onto the president's desk. "What in the world is this?" He asked, finally looking up.

Yin Mei looked at him with a cold face. "How about our beloved president actually do some work for once and help us in completing this mountain of paperwork, hm?"

The president speechlessly glanced at the mountain of papers. He then looked toward Yao Heyan, who helplessly shrugged. They could both tell that Yin Mei was very angry right now. "If you have time to flirt with girls, then you better not tell me you don't have time to complete the required student council work."

"I wasn't flirting with girls." Rong Sheng said coldly.

"..." Yin Mei stared at him. And stared. And stared some more. She clearly wasn't buying any of it.

In the end, Yin Mei scoffed when the president pushed off the work onto others, but she also wasn't able to really tell Rong Sheng what to do. Because their families had about equal amounts of wealth and power, he wouldn't be pressured when face with her.

Although Yin Mei was looking at him with a judging glare, he completely ignored her and shamelessly gave the paperwork over to Yao Heyan, who helplessly received it with a wry smile. In the end, Yao Heyan didn't reject Rong Sheng and completed the paperwork for him, though Yin Mei's glare was a little bit painful to bear.

Only after cursing for Rong Sheng's love to never bear fruit and for Wen Hua to die from either late stage cancer, a car accident, or late stage cancer or a car accident multiple times did she feel a little better.

When the day was over and Yin Mei was back in her dorm room, she decided that she should at least work a little to making some more progress in completing her mission.

The problem with this was that her parents had always hoped for He Lanying to marry Rong Sheng. As for this person Yao Heyan, although his family was good enough, he was the second son and not the heir. This would immediately disqualify him as a candidate for marriage. And if they did get engaged, then the heir to the Yao family may feel potentially threatened by that.

But, she felt she should at least bring this up to her mother later, when she visited home later.

As for Wen Hua, though she disliked her, she should do the good thing and act as a matchmaker between the girl and Rong Sheng. In this way, she would be able to clearly show her parents that it would be impossible between her and Rong Sheng.

Although she knew that a single girl without any backing wouldn't be able to discourage her parents, it would add more persuasive power to her words later on.

Sigh, she disliked that she would be helping that blind idiot and that clumsy idiot in achieving their happy ending, but it couldn't be helped. This was the only thing she could think of that was viable - all her other plans were a bit too violent and bloody to be using in a world like this. Plus if she did use those plans, she would just be following in the footsteps of the original body, which she didn't want.

Just as she was thinking this, she got a call from her mother. "Mother?"

"Ying'er, come back home this weekend." A dignified and elegant voice said, and He Lanying blinked.

"Is there something going on? The student council has an important meeting on Saturday..." Yin Mei replied. Of course she knew it must be important if her mother went through the trouble to call her, but Yin Mei didn't want to go. It was probably just one of those high class parties for mingling and making connections right?

"Come back home. We're meeting with the Rong family this weekend to discuss your engagement." He Lanying's mother said, not allowing her room to decline.

Yin Mei immediately wanted to facepalm. Just as she was thinking about how her parents wanted her to get engaged to Rong Sheng, they just had to call her about it. "Mother, isn't it a little bit too soon to be talking about this? We're still in high school." Yin Mei answered.

"What do you mean still in high school. All of the other girls already have engagements. You'll be graduating in a year or two as well. Sheng'er is so popular, if you don't get together with him now then we'll miss our chance." Her mother answered, and Yin Mei could sense that she was about to be lectured.

"Mother!" She forcefully interrupted her, her voice stressed. "Can we talk about this later? I'm busy with my student council duties right now."

She wanted to bring up Yao Heyan, but after wavering a bit, she ended up not saying anything. She knew her parents wouldn't agree to it, so what was the point? She would have to figure out another way to complete the mission.

She needed some method to convince them...

But her parents were so concerned with status. She didn't know what could get them to agree to allow her to marry a second son.

And in the first place, she would have to discuss this with Yao Heyan too...

Yin Mei immediately felt a suffocating pressure on her, and her heart beat furiously. Talk to Yao Heyan about it...

But, he didn't even like her after all.

Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind. He didn't like her...?

Why did she feel that something had happened a long time ago that... she tried to recall but couldn't. Wincing, she ended up giving up. She felt that it was something painful - and there was no need to recall something that would only bring her pain...

In the end, she still went back home for that weekend, much to her dissatisfaction. But, her mother just wouldn't let up.

Her brother wasn't here either, and she was simply in a foul mood the whole time. She didn't even have the time to go to Japan and eat delicious sweets, as she would have to return to school as quickly as possible in order to catch up on the meeting she would be missing.

He Lanying's mother was like He Lanying in appearance, looking extremely dignified and strict. Though she was already in her forties, she looked at least a decade younger and barely had any wrinkles or aging.

"Ying'er," He Lanying's mother hugged her daughter that she hadn't seen in a month now.

"Mother," Yin Mei stiffly said. She didn't really like He Lanying's parents, and in the first place, they weren't her parents anyways. After experiencing life with Feng Hua's parents, the two were definitely a sharp difference.

For He Lanying's mother and father, their daughter was a tool for business. She would marry into a good family, so that they could establish a connection with them and profit from it. She looked down on such behavior. Even though this was modern times, these practices still ran rampant throughout the upper class.

Yin Mei dodged He Lanying's mother's invitation to eating out with the excuse that she was busy and ran to her room. Even though she was taking a break from school and wasn't going to the student council meeting, if she slacked off just a little bit while she was gone, her paper work would exponentially grow. She could just imagine the mountain of work that would be waiting for her when she returned. In the end, being at home was no different from being at school - she was still swamped in papers! What the f*ck! She wanted to ask if student council members really all had this much work all the time?

At this timely junction, a message alert came from Yao Heyan on WeChat. She glanced at the message, not at all procrastinating. "You aren't at school today? Are you going to the meeting?"

She wasn't sure how she should reply to this... "What about you? Are you attending?" She asked back.

"My family called me back home for some business." She blinked. What a coincidence. They were both called back home, huh?

"Wait, then what would happen to the student council meeting?" Yin Mei typed out. If neither she nor Yao Heyan were there, it couldn't be that Rong Sheng would oversee the meeting?? There was no way.

"Liang Xiu will be taking care of it." Yao Heyan replied, and Yin Mei let out a sigh of relief in her head. "Rong Sheng will also be absent, after all. Apparently his parents also called him back." Yin Mei's relief was immediately destroyed and she stiffened in her seat in front of the computer. No way, would she actually have to meet him for the engagement discussion tomorrow?

"Haha, the three most important members of the student council were all called back home at once." Yao Heyan commented, and Yin Mei's face stiffened even more as she went a little pale. Why is it that she felt like she had been caught cheating? It wasn't like he would even care...

"It's probably because-" Yin Mei began typing out, but she stopped in the middle, hesitating. For some reason, she felt anxious. Why was she having such a hard time telling him? But why did she want to tell him in the first place?

"It's probably because my family and the Rong family are getting together to discuss an engagement between me and Rong Sheng." In the end, she typed out that entire sentence, and hit send. She didn't want to look at the reply, but she couldn't tear her eyes away either.

She waited, and waited, but Yao Heyan didn't reply, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.

Only after a while, did an answer come back from behind the screen. "Didn't you always want to marry Rong Sheng? You should be more happy about it." Reading this, she felt extremely upset.

"I don't want to marry Rong Sheng. I'd rather marry you then him!" She typed angrily, hitting send before she realized what she had just done.

... Yin Mei immediately shut down the computer and didn't look back. She saw nothing, heard nothing, did nothing.

On the other side, Yao Heyan was staring at his phone while sitting in a fancy hotel room suite. His eyes darkened, as he tapped the smartphone to his chin. "Why oh why do you have to tempt me like this," he murmured. But, the dark feelings that came from hearing about her engagement meeting had magically been blown away. All that was left was the intense desire that he thought he had buried in his heart. "It's your fault you know," he said softly, his eyes curving into crescent moons as he smiled. "Such a cute little rabbit, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't eat you all up?"

At this moment, a man in black walked in, reporting, "Second young master, the man still refuses to talk."

An expression of annoyance flashed across Yao Heyan's face, and he took the gun on the table he was sitting next too, shooting the man in the leg without blinking. The man fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, quickly applying pressure on the wound. "What have I said about disturbing me?" He said gloomily, elegantly setting the gun back down.

"A-apologies, second young master." The man managed out with gritted teeth as he fought against the pain.

"Do it again and it won't just be your leg I'm shooting." Yao Heyan answered coldly. "As for that man, if he won't talk then he's useless. Go ahead and get rid of him and his family." Yao Heyan then gestured to the bodyguards standing at the room entrance, and they came to help up the injured man, taking him away.

"And someone clean up this mess," Yao Heyan said in disgust, standing up and walking away into the next room.

He stood by the window, overlooking the night cityscape. He glanced back down at the chat history on his phone, his facial expressions noticeably softening again. "Since you said so, then you can't take those words back anymore."

He smiled happily, the warm expression completely contrary to the cold eyes he had just moments before.
