When the Villainess Transmigrates as the Heroine of a Sadistic Novel [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Stepping Out

Jin Youxian looked expectantly at her Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Jin Youzhe looked at his watch, gentlemanly and silent. Jin Youyou, being a bit bolder, covered his mouth and whispered to his little sister, “Xiaoxian, do you have a photo?”

“I do.” Jin Youxian secretly handed her phone over. “You have to help me. If you do, I won’t call you ‘Youyou’ anymore; I’ll call you ‘Brother’.”

Jin Youyou didn’t care much for titles. He glanced at the picture and saw the girl looked pure and cute—exactly his type. He nodded. While he personally didn’t care that his sister liked women, it was obvious that Eldest Sister was dissatisfied. He didn’t dare confront her directly, so he said circuitously, “Sister, times have changed. This girl Xiaoxian likes doesn’t look like a bad person…”

Before he could finish, Jin Youwei asked him, “So, you agree?”

Jin Youyou looked at Eldest Brother and stammered, “This… I’m just the younger brother. Better ask Eldest Brother first.”

Jin Youwei didn’t press him and turned directly to Jin Youzhe. “Zhe, what is your opinion?”

Jin Youzhe pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and replied with a smile, “Eldest Sister, I abstain.”

“…”

The two youngest siblings were stunned. Eldest Brother truly was on a different level; he really lived up to his name—Youzhe (meaning “having a way/solution”).

Jin Youwei had expected this. She gave a faint smile, let out a soft huff, and was about to turn back to the youngest brother when Jin Youzhe spoke again. “Sister, Youyou just got back and only heard those few sentences of yours; he definitely doesn’t understand the situation. Besides, even a criminal can appeal before sentencing. You should at least let Xiaoxian say a few words, right?”

Jin Youxian nodded vigorously. Seeing her siblings like this, Jin Youwei sighed and granted permission. “Fine. Xiaoxian, say whatever you want to say.”

“Thank you, Sister, for giving me this chance!” Jin Youxian was about to launch into a long speech, but seeing her Eldest Brother shake his head at her, she reined in her over-the-top, award-ceremony-style rhetoric and opted for a display of true feelings instead. “You all know that I’m someone who likes to play around. Little Yunqing is the first person who ever made my heart race like that. Even though she’s a girl, she can do everything. Fengxian Technology is basically supported by her alone. She comes from a poor background, but she has never been discouraged, nor does she have any of those nasty bad habits. You could say she is the most hardworking person I have ever met. Of course, everyone sitting here is also excellent—especially Eldest Sister!”

As she spoke, she stood up and threw herself into her sister’s arms, tears beginning to flow. “I don’t know why, but whenever I think about you all breaking me and Little Yunqing up, the tears just start coming. Sob, Sister, I beg you, please agree to me and Little Yunqing! Otherwise, your sister will be washing her face with tears every day, and she’ll look so ugly!”

It truly was an appeal in the classic “Jin Rich” style. A smile touched Jin Youwei’s lips as she lightly patted her sister’s shoulder. She didn’t agree immediately but continued with the previous topic. “Alright, Xiaoxian has finished speaking. Let’s continue the vote. Zhe abstains. Youyou, what about you?”

“Me?” Jin Youyou looked to Eldest Brother for help. Jin Youzhe looked at Eldest Sister, then glanced at his little sister. Jin Youyou understood instantly. Out of four votes, only three were left; if one more person abstained, it would be impossible to reach a majority. He immediately gave a clever answer: “Sister, I abstain too. I’m young and don’t understand much about love and romance. Better if I don’t meddle.”

Jin Youwei glanced at Jin Youzhe with a smile. Jin Youzhe smiled back calmly. Jin Youwei had no other choice. She pulled her sister off her, looked her in the eye, and asked, “Now it’s just you and me. Xiaoxian, how do you choose?”

Her sister’s voice was very gentle. Jin Youxian had the illusion that her sister was going easy on her. She replied with a firm stance, “I choose to agree! I want to be with Little Yunqing! If you all disagree, I’ll… I’ll leave the Jin family and go find Yunqing. Anyway, she’s going to be very rich in the future.”

The last sentence was a threat that made the two brothers suppress their laughter. Jin Youwei felt an impulse to pin her sister down and teach her a lesson, but since the men of the family were present, she restrained herself. She simply pinched her sister’s ear and sneered, “If you truly dare to do that, I guarantee I’ll make sure you both have no money.”

“Ugh.” Jin Youxian realized she had misspoken and covered her mouth, looking at her sister piteously. Jin Youwei couldn’t be bothered to argue with a child and let go, stating calmly, “There is now one vote for agreement, and one person left. I choose—”

The three siblings watched her in unison. Jin Youxian’s heartbeat was so loud even Jin Youwei could hear it. Looking at her sister, Jin Youwei’s expression softened. She said with a smile, “Even if I disagree now, this vote is useless. I abstain.”

Abstention? Didn’t that mean she had won? A look of joy flared in Jin Youxian’s eyes. Jin Youwei wiped her tears for her. “Xiaoxian, I know Ning Yunqing is important to you, and I can see she cares for you deeply. Since you’ve chosen this path, keep walking it. As long as you don’t regret it, I don’t want to make things too hard for you. After all, if you really left the Jin family, I couldn’t bear it either.”

“Sister, I was just kidding.” Tears welled up in Jin Youxian’s eyes again. Her sister doted on her so much; it was truly moving. She couldn’t help but throw herself back into her sister’s arms and sob.

Jin Youwei held her gently, a smile on her face, but a touch of self-deprecation in her eyes.

A day later, Jin Youxian returned to the small company. Returning with her was a black card with a massive deposit.

“Little Yunqing, I’m back!” Jin Youxian pushed the door open. Seeing her like this, Ning Yunqing guessed that things had gone as expected—Jin Youwei had indeed gone easy on them. She asked with a smile, “It seems Sister has agreed to us?”

Jin Youxian nodded and took the credit. “It’s because I’m so cute and Sister dotes on me that we passed so easily.” She became excited. “You have no idea. When the Old Man heard I wanted to be with you, his beard practically blew off. Luckily Sister was there. She silenced him with just a few words. He was stunned and didn’t even talk back—he just silently gave his consent.”

“Sister truly is amazing. One day I must visit her and thank her properly,” Ning Yunqing said sincerely, thinking that she did indeed need to visit to clear up the doubts in her heart.

“You definitely should. Look.” Jin Youxian took the black card out of her bag and shook it. “This is a big gift from Sister. She invested in her own name, giving me a huge sum of money to make Fengxian bigger.”

What a sister-con. Ning Yunqing smiled and agreed, “Then we shall follow Sister’s wishes and make Fengxian bigger.”

With the funding from the CEO of the Jin Group, Ning Yunqing’s company grew exponentially. The small office was no longer enough, and they expanded to a whole floor of an office building in the city. Ning Yunqing was in charge of technology and personnel, while Jin Youxian focused on finance and overseas communication. Working in harmony, their business flourished. In less than a year, they became top-tier young entrepreneurs in Xincheng.

With a successful career and money in the bank, Ning Yunqing thought it was time to go back to Pojiu Village to settle some scores. Looking at the “Travel at a Moment’s Notice” app on her phone, she had an idea. she asked the employees of the planning team, “Our travel app has been live for a while. I think we can start ‘city outskirts village tours’—for example, small villages near Xincheng. We can set up agritainment, fruit picking, and things like that.”

“The boss’s proposal is great. A weekend trip is convenient.”

“It allows children to experience picking and eat green vegetables. I support it.”

The employees responded enthusiastically. Ning Yunqing continued, “Alright, let’s do a survey first. We’ll start with the counties surrounding Xincheng. Who wants to go?”

This was basically a company-funded trip. The employees raised their hands one after another. “Me!” “Me!” “Me!”

Ning Yunqing pointed out a few people and assigned routes based on the map. Once the employees noted the locations, they asked Ning Yunqing, “Boss, are you coming with us?”

“I can’t say for sure. I have to go ask your Chief Financial Officer,” Ning Yunqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, the employees covered their mouths and snickered. “The boss is henpecked!”

“I call it respect,” Ning Yunqing glanced at them and turned toward the CFO’s office.

“Youxian.” As expected of Yin Fengxuan’s original body, once Jin Youxian started her own business, her commercial talents became increasingly evident. Through tireless effort, she had already surpassed the Jin Group’s CFO. When Ning Yunqing entered, Jin Youxian was concentrating on her work.

“Little Yunqing.” Times had changed, but the nickname hadn’t. Seeing Ning Yunqing, Jin Youxian couldn’t help but smile. She rolled her head and acted spoiled. “My shoulders are sore. Help me massage them.”

“Alright.” Ning Yunqing walked over to massage her. As she did, she mentioned her idea. “I was just researching village tours and want to do some field surveys. You’ve worked hard these past few days. Want to come with me for a walk?”

“Village tours?” Jin Youxian recalled and said suddenly, “I remember now. Little Yunqing, isn’t Pojiu Village the address on your ID? Let’s go take a look there.”

Truly her lover; they were of one mind. Ning Yunqing agreed with a smile, “Alright.”

“Then should I prepare some gifts? After all, I’m going to see my in-laws; I can’t go empty-handed.” Jin Youxian was a bit anxious. She immediately closed her work page and started searching for gifts for in-laws. As she searched, she suddenly cried out, “Ah! Little Yunqing, this is a business opportunity! We can create a similar section where you can find gifts for whoever you want with one search.”

“Mhm.” Ning Yunqing smiled faintly. Her “Jin Rich” had turned into a “Jin Workaholic”—she couldn’t go three sentences without talking about work. It was quite heartening. Placing her hand over her lover’s hand on the mouse, she reminded her with a smile, “No need to be so rushed. We are just going to Pojiu Village; no rush to see them yet.”

“Eh?” Jin Youxian found it a bit strange. It seemed that since she met Ning Yunqing, the girl had never mentioned her family. She asked hesitantly, “Little Yunqing, is your relationship with your family not good?”

Ning Yunqing replied without emotion, “You could say that. But my relationship with the villagers is alright. As the ancient saying goes: ‘A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring.’ The villagers helped me, so I must repay them. This trip is mainly to talk to the town mayor and village chief about investments. If you find it bothersome, you can wait for me at home. I won’t be gone long.”

“No way,” Jin Youxian refused without a second thought. She wasn’t about to let Little Yunqing handle a difficult family situation alone. Reaching out to pull Ning Yunqing into her arms, Jin Youxian’s voice was very gentle: “I’m going with you. You stayed with me through the hardships of my life; I will stay with you to face the shadows of your past.”

Although Ning Yunqing didn’t actually need coaxing, Jin Youxian’s gesture still made her happy. Leaning into Jin Youxian’s embrace, she tilted the other’s chin up and kissed her gently. “Alright. Then we’ll go together.”
