“Um… I think I will skip out for today….” said Su Ran to the woman in front of her from outside of the car.
“What?! You are not coming? Are you kidding me? Our customers are waiting. NOW you tell me you are not going?” The woman was very surprised at Su Ran’s words.
“I am not kidding. It’s, um, I got a stomachache all of a sudden. I am so sorry…” Su Ran pulled her hand out from the other woman’s grip as she feigned a painful look.
“Are you sure?” The woman looked at Su Ran dubiously, “The customers today live in Dongshan. This is a good opportunity. Don’t say I didn’t remind you of it. On top of that, if you bail out now, you are not going to get your table fees today.”
“I understand. I understand. I want to make a few dollars more too. It’s just… such bad timing. Hong-jie….”
“Fine. Fine. Whatever.” She interrupted Su Ran rudely and indifferently got inside the car with the few other women who were standing next to her.
BAM!
“Ungrateful thing!”
Su Ran could hear that coming from Hong-jie as the car door slammed shut.
The woman’s words made Su Ran feel awkward, but not angry.
So what if she was called a name in the face of losing her life?
Although Su Ran had no idea how she’d die if she attended the customers’ event with Hong-jie, but she knew for sure that she’d doom herself to an early death today if she went. That’s what it said in the original novel after all.
In her real life, Su Ran was a musician. She had been composing a song recently. Once this song was completed, it might rock the world and become her best work yet. Unfortunately, she died from lack of sleep over a long period of time right next to her piano when she was only halfway through the song.
When Su Ran woke up again, she discovered that she had transmigrated into a romance novel recommended to her by her little assistant.
She had transmigrated at the story arc where the original novel had already ended.
The original novel ended with the wealthy and handsome male lead marrying the competent female lead who was born to an average family. They were living together happily and had a pair of twins – a boy and a girl.
Meanwhile, all the crimes committed by wealthy girl Su Ran, the number one villain female supporting character who had the same name as her, had come to light. She was hated by all, banished from the extended family, and also dragged her parents down with her. Finally, even though “Su Ran” didn’t die, her ending was worse than death. She was raped, scarred, and became a bargirl at the red-light district by her own accord.
At the very end of the novel, there was an extra chapter on the male and female leads’ pair of twins. A crazy, demented villain decided to harass the daughter of the female lead unprovoked and ended up beeing beaten up badly by the female lead’s son. The name of this boss villain was Su Han, son of Su Ran.
This was just an extra chapter at the very end; there weren’t a lot of mentioning of Su Ran in the book.
There was a blurb about her in the extra chapter. There was a flashback to ten years ago. Su Han was tricked by his friend to a special banquet. During the banquet, 12-year-old Su Han witnessed the entire scene where his so-called mother was insulted to death. That was the beginning of his twisted and demented self.
And, this was the exact moment that Su Ran had transmigrated into the novel.
No matter if she would one day be able to return back to her own world and no matter whether there were other reasons that caused the boss villain to be twisted, right now, for the sake of her own life, Su Ran could not go down that path.
As for what would happen after she had altered the story arc at this critical moment, nobody could say for sure…
Looking at the minivan that was slowing disappearing from her field of vision, Su Ran looked on blankly.
A breeze went by, and Su Ran shuddered.
