Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse-Chapter 140

Chapter 140

If Liu Feifei hadn’t spoken up, Ye Aotian would have been in real trouble. It would have affected both him and his company.

Liu Feifei was just about to say something when Cao Zijin stopped her.

“There’s nothing else to say. It really is the truth. I’m just speaking honestly.”

Ye Aotian nodded silently. As expected, his intuition was correct—she still had feelings for him.

Liu Feifei whispered to Cao Zijin, “Sis, he disgusts me so much. I really hate him. The way he looks at me … it’s like he thinks I’m his woman.”

“That’s normal. Remember, men are actually quite simple—especially guys like Ye Aotian. As long as you respond to him, he’ll assume you like him.”

“Damn, that’s even more disgusting! I won’t say another word to him from now on.”

“It’s fine. Some casual chatting won’t hurt. Besides, no matter how much you praise Chen Fan, Ye Aotian won’t believe it, right? So why not just interact with him normally? Do you want to spend time with Chen Fan?”

“Yes! He treats me so well, and he always gives me delicious food.”

“Then that’s all that matters. Just go with the flow, and don’t worry—he’ll self-destruct soon enough.”

Cao Zijin’s approach was quite simple. Right now, she was acting as Chen Fan’s wife, which meant everything she did had to be in his best interest. However, she was also very clear that she couldn’t kill Ye Aotian. That meant the real goal was to torment him, to torture him.

And when it came to torturing a man, no one understood it better than a woman.

Just like Cao Zijin had arranged—she only needed Liu Feifei to respond to Ye Aotian once in a while, and Ye Aotian would subconsciously start seeing Liu Feifei as his woman.

Once that happened, as long as Liu Feifei stayed by Chen Fan’s side every day, it would be pure torment for Ye Aotian.

Because in Ye Aotian’s mind, it would feel like he was constantly being cheated on.

And this was only the beginning. Things would only get crueler later on.

When it came to tormenting someone, others might choose to beat them or physically injure them. But Cao Zijin wouldn’t.

She would only destroy someone in a way that shattered both their body and mind.

So how did Cao Zijin really feel about Liu Feifei?

Cao Zijin was well aware—she wasn’t a good person. She only cared about the people she chose to care about. And right now, that person was only Chen Fan.

Everything about Chen Fan—the conditions he set, the way he made her feel—was exactly what she needed.

In other words, as long as Chen Fan was willing, she could abandon anyone else, even someone like Liu Feifei, despite their seemingly close relationship now.

But what if all the female leads ended up falling for Chen Fan?

Then she would simply take the position of the true empress. The other women could fight among themselves all they wanted. But one thing was certain—none of them could ever harm Chen Fan.

For now, though, she had to wait for the newcomer to arrive.

Cao Zijin was quite excited. The entire novel revolved around Chen Fan and Ye Aotian. So what was the point of introducing a new villain now?

But since Chen Fan had said that this person could be bullied at will, that meant she could bully him too.

That had to be fun.

When Cao Zijin realized that her role was officially that of a villain, she was so happy she could jump for joy.

Her mind was always filled with schemes and plots to harm people, but until now, she didn’t know who to use them on.

The director sighed helplessly and said, “Sigh, what should we do? This film just started shooting. Even though we’re progressing quickly, we can’t afford to keep dealing with this kind of chaos.”

Actually, Chen Fan’s diary hadn’t mentioned this, but in this novel world, the movie industry followed the fast-paced Hong Kong style. That meant it was completely possible to shoot an entire movie in just a few days, or at most, two weeks.

Cao Zijin said, “How about finding someone to replace him?”

“Alright, I’ll make some calls and see if anyone’s available. It’s really hard to find actors these days—no one wants to play a supporting role.”

While the director was making calls, Cao Zijin was deep in thought, analyzing the situation. She carefully went through her list of possibilities, wondering who the newcomer could be.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and called Chen Fan.

“Honey, what are you up to?”

“I’m chatting with that supporting actor you guys are working with. Talk later—I’m busy right now.”

The person had already arrived?

Who was it?

At that moment, over at the hospital, Ling Yuyan was standing to the side, pretending to prepare hot water for Chen Fan. In reality, she was just curious—who exactly was this villain that Chen Fan said could be bullied at will?

And right before her stood a man, about 1.8 meters tall, undeniably handsome, and judging by his gaze, he looked like someone who could really fight.

“You’re the representative of the Chen family’s generation, huh?”

“And you are?”

“Well, that makes sense. Your father sent you to this small city to protect you and even assigned Jin Lan to watch over you. But unfortunately, you’re useless. Even with a woman as powerful as Jin Lan by your side, she couldn’t make anything of you. You actually got beaten up by some minor character.”

“What the hell did you just say? Say that again?”

Ye Zifeng said, “Oh? And what if I do? Your Chen family? Our Ye family has never taken you seriously.”

“Oh, Ye family, huh? What, are you related to Ye Aotian?”

Hahahahaha.

Ye Zifeng said, “Related? Not really. But if you trace it back three generations, there is a bit of a connection. His grandfather was a loser from our family who got kicked out. We haven’t had any ties since. This time, I came to clean up the family mess. I heard there was an interesting guy in Qin City, also with the surname Ye, so I decided to check it out.”

Chen Fan continued playing dumb and said, “The Ye family? What an impressive display of power.”

“Impressive or not, we’re still a notch above your family. But your family has been in decline since this generation. You’ve even dropped out of the rankings of the top families. I’d say at least half the blame lies with you.”

Yes, this was the right vibe.

Although Chen Fan looked furious on the outside, he was absolutely thrilled inside.

Holy crap, finally, a normal person!

Damn it, lately, every new character that showed up had been completely off-track. But now, Ye Zifeng was actually normal, and that made Chen Fan incredibly happy.

Because Chen Fan had bullied Ye Zifeng many times before.

When dealing with Ye Aotian, Chen Fan had to carefully think about how not to accidentally kill him.

But this guy in front of him? No big deal. A side character. Just another villain. And villains weren’t necessarily allies. Ye Zifeng and Chen Fan didn’t get along.

In Ye Zifeng’s mind, the Chen family had to submit to his own family. That’s why he had come to Qin City—to take control of both Chen Fan and Ye Aotian.
