Wen Yu sat in her own room, sinking into an abyss of regret.

Shao Cixin was also reborn.

And she returned to the world with a hatred for Wen Yu.

Because of this, she broke up with Wen Yu and chose to marry Wen Zhihan.

In their previous life, Wen Yu shattered the Shao Cixin who loved her with her own hands.

The moonlight outside the window was bright and cold, like ice needles in the winter.

Wen Yu leaned against the wall, closing her eyes in despair. 

As soon as her vision disappeared, she saw Shao Cixin’s red eyes full of hatred.

Shao Cixin’s hatred for Wen Yu was deeper than her love. Wen Yu could no longer see any trace of affection in her expression.

In the past, Wen Yu was so obsessed with the illusory love of another person that she ignored the person who was beside her and devoted to her.

She didn’t know how to cherish Shao Cixin when she had her, and now she regretted losing her. Everything in the present was her retribution.

Shao Cixin would never let Wen Yu get close to her again.

Shao Cixin would never forgive her for what she had done.

Shao Cixin’s love would never belong to her again…

Thinking of this, Wen Yu was full of grief, and she lowered her head, hugging herself.

Her heart ached like a knot, and her chest was so tight that she almost couldn’t breathe.

Only then did she realize that her rebirth seemed like a punishment—like Shao Cixin said.

But she didn’t expect that the heavens’ punishment wouldn’t stop there.

The next day, at dinnertime, she received the news.

“Transfer?!” Wen Yu looked at Wen Xingyun in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard. “Why should I be transferred away from Guanglan?”

Wen Xingyun used his eyes to signal for Wen Yu to calm down.

He said calmly, “It’s okay, it’s for your own good.

“Growing up and becoming independent is important. It’s a good thing to travel far and broaden your horizons.

“And don’t you usually like going for fun? Now is a good opportunity for you to go to another city to work and play at the same time.”

Wen Xingyun spoke gently, but his words still weren’t enough to alleviate the surprise in Wen Yu’s heart.

She never thought that she would one day leave Fengcheng and her parents.

More importantly, it wasn’t even Wen Xingyun’s idea!

She locked her gaze onto the person across from her.

Wen Zhihan was unfazed by Wen Yu’s unfriendly gaze. She gracefully ate her rice and took a sip of her soup.

She was not afraid of Wen Yu knowing it was her.

“Wen Zhihan, where are you going to transfer me to?” Wen Yu asked in a negative tone.

When Wen Xingyun heard this, he frowned and said, “Xiao Yu, you can’t talk to your sister this way.”

Wen Yu never contradicted her parents to their faces, so she had no choice but to curb her hostility towards Wen Zhihan.

“Where are you going to transfer me to?” Wen Yu asked again, her tone not as sharp as before.

Wen Zhihan wiped her mouth. “Yangcheng.”

Wen Yu was even more stunned.

Yangcheng?!

Damn, that place was so far from Fengcheng!

“I’m not going! On what basis are you transferring me there?”

Wen Zhihan put down what she was holding and calmly looked at Wen Yu, exuding an aura of authority.

“Based on the fact that Guanglan is my company, and I have the final say.”

Wen Yu was frightened by Wen Zhihan’s gaze and subconsciously closed her mouth.

Wen Zhihan retracted her gaze, stood up, and said, “Mom, Dad, I’ve finished eating. You eat slowly. I’ll go back to my room to accompany Cixin.”

Before today’s dinner, Wen Zhihan took the initiative to let Shao Cixin rest in her room.

Her Mrs. Wen was wronged by Wen Yu yesterday, and she probably didn’t want to see Wen Yu.

Since this was the case, there was no need to force her to come downstairs for dinner, upsetting her even more.

Joanna agreed and got up to help Wen Zhihan prepare a meal for Shao Cixin.

Wen Xingyun also asked if he should make porridge for Shao Cixin.

If their daughter-in-law was not feeling well, then they, as the parents, had the obligation to take good care of her.

Wen Zhihan lifted the tray stacked with food and soup and replied with a smile, “There’s no need, Dad. Cixin likes your cooking the most. This is already enough.

“You eat. I’m going up first.”

“Go ahead, baby.”

Wen Xingyun said, “If it’s not enough, come down and take more. If she still feels unwell, then take her to the hospital.”

“Okay, don’t worry. I will take good care of her.”

As Shao Cixin’s ex-wife, Wen Yu could do nothing but sit in her seat and jealously watch Wen Zhihan go up the stairs.

Afterward, she turned and continued to protest to Wen Xingyun about the transfer.

Shao Cixin was lying in bed with a pillow in her arms.

Wen Zhihan’s laptop had been placed at the end of the bed, and a TV series was playing on her screen.

With Wen Zhihan protecting her, Shao Cixin felt at ease.

It was good not to see Wen Yu.

If she didn’t see her, she wouldn’t be upset. She just scolded Wen Yu yesterday, and her mood hadn’t yet stabilized.

“Click.” The door opened.

Wen Zhihan entered with the food.

Shao Cixin quickly got out of bed to help.

“I’ve inconvenienced you.” Shao Cixin took her dinner and showed a bright smile. “I’m embarrassed for having President Wen personally serve a meal to me.”

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’re all friends, and you’re still my Mrs. Wen.”

Wen Zhihan helped Shao Cixin pull her hair behind her ears, her expression gentle.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Are you hungry?”

Shao Cixin put the food on the small rattan table by the window.

She felt that Wen Zhihan’s response would have sounded better without the word “friend.”

“You didn’t take long. I just got hungry.”

Shao Cixin tied her hair, sat down on the chair, and started to eat.

Wen Zhihan glanced at the laptop. She helped Shao Cixin set the device on the table so that Shao Cixin could watch and eat at the same time.

Shao Cixin pressed pause for a second. She smiled at Wen Zhihan and motioned for her to sit down on the bed.

Shao Cixin asked curiously, “I seemed to hear Wen Yu’s voice just now. What’s wrong? Did she yell at you?”

Wen Zhihan smiled. “How could she dare to yell at me?”

Shao Cixin nodded. “You make a good point. So, what happened?”

Wen Zhihan said, “My father told her about the job transfer.”

Shao Cixin understood. She suddenly regretted that she didn’t go out to eat. Thinking about it now, Wen Yu’s expression must have been very colorful.

“She didn’t want to, right?”

“En, there should be an ineffective protest going on right now,” Wen Zhihan said calmly, with no ripples in her eyes. “Everything is already arranged. She is leaving on Monday. Even if she doesn’t want to, she has to go to Yangcheng.”

Shao Cixin was surprised. “Monday? So soon?”

Wen Zhihan was so efficient!

Seeing Shao Cixin’s reaction, Wen Zhihan looked into her eyes and asked, “Do you think it’s too fast?”

Shao Cixin blinked.

She suddenly felt that Wen Zhihan’s question was not asking whether the timing was too fast or unpleasant, but whether Shao Cixin thought it was the appropriate thing for Wen Zhihan to do.

—Was Wen Zhihan too cruel and heartless for driving away her younger sister she had been with for so many years, mercilessly sending her to another city, blocking her wealth, and forcing her to become independent?

Shao Cixin immediately made her position clear. “How could it be? I think you’re really efficient!

“No matter how you deal with Wen Yu, I don’t think it’s too much. She needs someone to take care of her, and our President Wen is simply upholding the heavens’ justice!

“To be completely honest, I am a person who holds grudges. It’s just that I didn’t find the opportunity to take revenge. Otherwise, I would definitely be causing trouble for her.”

Wen Zhihan slightly curved her beautiful eyes. She was very satisfied with Shao Cixin’s answers.

Although she didn’t know if Shao Cixin could fall in love with her, she still wanted Shao Cixin to have a good impression of her.

Shao Cixin ate a piece of meat and said, “The scenery in Yangcheng is really beautiful, but it’s too far from Fengcheng. It takes a long time to fly back and forth, and a lot of people would consider it a tiring trip.”

She gave Wen Zhihan a thumbs-up. “You did a great job.”

Wen Zhihan smiled. Then she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door from the outside, so she stood up and raised her hand to pat Shao Cixin’s head. “Eat well. If there isn’t enough, I will go down and get more.

“I’ll be gone for a while.”

“There’s enough, there’s enough.”

Seeing that Wen Zhihan was about to leave, Shao Cixin quickly set down her bowl and reached out for Wen Zhihan’s fingers. “The second episode of our variety show is coming out tonight. Do you want to watch it together?”

Wen Zhihan lowered her eyes and saw rice grains stuck to Shao Cixin’s lips. She raised her hand to remove them for her.

Shao Cixin licked her lips subconsciously, her eyes moving rapidly, afraid that her beautiful image would be ruined in front of Wen Zhihan.

Wen Zhihan looked down at Shao Cixin and couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Once a person became cute in someone’s eyes, that person would be cute no matter what she did.

“I’ll watch it,” Wen Zhihan said, “I’ll come back and watch it with you.”

They met on the balcony.

Wen Yu stood in front of Wen Zhihan with a displeased look on her face.

Why should she be transferred away from Fengcheng? Why should she go to Yangcheng, which was so far away!

Wen Zhihan was abusing her powers to enact revenge!

But Wen Xingyun and Joanna were both on Wen Zhihan’s side, supporting her idea of sending Wen Yu off to Yangcheng to develop and broaden her horizons.

Because the reasons Wen Zhihan gave were so convincing. Every word was for her sister’s good or her sister’s sake. You could be convinced that there would never be another sister as good as her in this world!

“Wen Zhihan, why are you doing this!”

Wen Zhihan didn’t care about Wen Yu’s anger. Her expression remained serene. “Don’t you know the answer very well? Why are you still asking me this?”

“You! You are avenging a private wrong!”^[1]

“That’s right, I am avenging a private wrong.”

“…”

“So, what can you do?”

Faced with the calm smile on Wen Zhihan’s face, Wen Yu’s anger was like hitting cotton—useless.

She was a defeated general in front of Wen Zhihan.

In the past, she at least possessed Shao Cixin’s love, but now even Shao Cixin regretted that the person she once fell in love with was not Wen Zhihan.

Wen Yu was not as good as Wen Zhihan as a daughter, and she was not as good as Wen Zhihan as a wife…

When her thoughts came around to this statement, her expression suddenly morphed into unconcealable distress.

At this moment, she stood in front of Wen Zhihan feeling inexplicably insignificant—unworthy of mention.

As soon as she walked onto the balcony, Wen Zhihan saw Wen Yu approaching her with an aggressive tone, so she also followed suit. Like when they were children, Wen Yu finally realized that her older sister was not someone easy to deal with.

Not only that, but she had also stopped tolerating her.

“Wen Yu, it was my decision to transfer you away from Fengcheng, and no one can change it. But you’ve brought this upon yourself.

“After leaving Fengcheng, I hope you can reflect on your behavior, think on why you’re so unbearable to be around, and learn how to become a real ‘human being.’

“Don’t cause any trouble while you’re there. I don’t have time to help you clean up, and neither do our parents.

“One last thing.”

Wen Zhihan suddenly took a step closer to Wen Yu, a chill rising in her eyes.

Her tone was as cold as a glacier, “I can tolerate you standing in front of me right now, so you should already be grateful to me.

“Remember to be honest in Yangcheng. Don’t even think about asking your friends for help or trying to pull tricks on me. I will always be watching you.”

As Wen Yu stared down Wen Zhihan’s ice-blue eyes, she felt a shiver down her back, as if a cold white python was standing in front of her, its blue pupils following her like a curse, viciously corroding every inch of her skin.

She had nowhere to run.

There was no room to escape.

She could never win against Wen Zhihan. Never.

The author (热到昏厥) has something to say:

I have prepared an opportunity for Cixin to cause trouble. Please remember to read it tomorrow.

The weather is getting colder so everyone remember to take care of yourselves, keep warm, and get plenty of rest.

I haven’t been feeling super well lately, and my luck has been a little bad too.

For example, when I was stretching my arms and moving around, ka-cha! I scraped my finger and it hurts like crazy.

At least I know what happened.

But the other finger on my hand, I still don’t know how it got scrapped… [Lighting a cigarette.JPG]

Both my middle fingers were injured…

Wait, is this a sign from the heavens that I can take a break and not write updates OvO! So hot that I’m fainting with joy!

The translator (AmEricaNo) has something to say:

Do you guys prefer to read 热到昏厥’s author’s notes or not? Let me know.

^[1] Here, Wen Yu says ““你！你这是公报私仇!” which would more literally translate to “This! This is 公报私仇 (Gōngbàosīchóu).” 公报私仇, or “avenging private hatred,” is a Chinese saying that means to avenge a private hatred under the guise of public affairs. It could also be called “avenging a personal wrong in the name of public interest.” Since private hatred seemed too intense here, I translated Wen Yu’s statement as “private wrong.”
