Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse-Chapter 105

Chapter 105

“Call you ‘Mom’? In your dreams. I’d never do that.” Chen Fan’s first reaction upon waking was to complain about Ling Yuyan. Last night, she had brought an exam paper to him, claiming that he could have it if he’d call her ‘Mom’ just once.

Chen Fan ignored this nonsense, dismissing it as an act of adding drama for no reason. But it confirmed something—today was indeed the end of the campus arc.

What’s the next storyline? Chen Fan thought back for a moment, and it suddenly became clear: the next plot would return to the main storyline.

[What an international joke—has Ling Yuyan gone crazy, wanting me to call her ‘Mom’?]

[Does she think I can’t pass one little test?]

[This exam paper is hardly challenging, but I’m curious where she got it.].

[Anyway, the campus arc is over. Poor Mu Jinli, your screen time was so limited, and now it’s over. Goodbye and farewell.].

Mu Jinli, reading this diary entry, was dumbfounded. The campus arc was ending, and she was wrapped up. What did that mean?

[Although, I suppose Mu Jinli will be mentioned occasionally later on, and she’ll cross paths with the protagonist from time to time. Poor girl—such a perfect character, yet with so little screen time.]

[After all, she was a threat to Lin Qingyue, so it makes sense.].

A threat to me? Lin Qingyue chuckled; did they think her status as the primary female lead was a joke? This little girl thought she could be a threat? Dream on.

[But as the campus arc ends, I’ll need to get worked up about something. Should I put on an act—maybe start a fight, break something, or maybe even go dark?].

Zhu Yeqing’s cheeks flushed as she read this part. Going dark? That sounded intriguing.

[Still, with the stock prices dropping, I’ll need a new plan. While Ye Aotian is focusing on promoting his longevity soup, I’ll be using a celebrity endorsement. Yes, the big star is about to make an appearance.].

What?

Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes. How could this be? Was Chen Fan actually pursuing someone?

Lin Qingyue grew anxious. Didn’t you say in the novel that you’d only love me? How could a female celebrity suddenly appear?

[Sigh. My family has set up a matchmaking arrangement, and I have no choice but to go along with it. The second female antagonist’s appearance at this point is only natural.].

Female antagonist? What’s that supposed to mean? Everyone wore confused expressions.

[Our two families will join forces, and gradually my company will be sidelined. The woman will eventually become my wife, take over the company, and ultimately swallow up the Chen family. Honestly, when I first learned about this plot, it shocked me for a whole year.]

[It seems her transformation is triggered by my own violent outbursts. Hungry, I hit the wife; full, I still hit the wife; I’m either hitting the wife or on my way to hit her.].

Pfft, hahahaha!

At this point, a few of the female leads began to understand. Simply put, this was a case of arranged marriage where neither party was willing. Eventually, Chen Fan’s behavior pushed her to rebel, leading to the complete takeover of the Chen family. They had initially thought the Chen family’s downfall would be caused by Ye Aotian, but apparently not. The Chen family would survive, but the people would change.

[In the end, I had a miserable time. My spending was restricted, and I was left only with Zhu Yeqing for company. Whatever I did, I had to look to her for approval. But that’s all in the distant future. For now, let’s go along with the plot, and while I can still beat her up, I should get a few more hits in.].

[Eventually, she’ll leave with the Chen family, never bowing to the protagonist even in the end.].

At this point, the diary abruptly ended, leaving everyone intrigued by the unusual absence of further plot details.

“Could it be that today is just an uneventful day?” Everyone watched with a peculiar anticipation.

But what happened next was even stranger.

[Hahaha, now I remember why I ended up hitting her every day.].

???

Everyone looked alert.

[Actually, it was a misunderstanding. The woman had to act in a movie with the protagonist, and I mistakenly thought they were involved, leading to a fit of rage. After all that, it turned out to be a false alarm, which planted a seed of hatred in her heart.].

What a ridiculous twist!

With the diary entry complete, Chen Fan went off to take his exam.

Today, he had to face the fact that his company’s stock was plummeting, and he needed to manage his emotions to align with the protagonist’s performance.

[Oh, and she’s a master of tea ceremonies, too. Hahaha, she’d occasionally cozy up to me and bully Lin Qingyue, so no wonder I made her out to be an antagonist. It’s strange, though—does this woman actually like me or not? I can’t figure it out.].

Well, Chen Fan might be unsure, but everyone else could see it clearly. This was definitely an antagonist, targeting the lead female lead. What else could she be?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on successfully uploading the diary entry. Congratulations, host, on acquiring the skill “Nipping Flower Finger,” at the Great Perfection level.].

Impressive, another one! This skill must be related to projectiles. Starting from the Great Perfection stage, it’s basically like snatching leaves and shooting flowers, striking with deadly precision. Awesome.

Meanwhile, the woman on the set, upon reading the diary, angrily overturned everything on the table. Her role … was this miserable?

Wasn’t she supposed to be one of those lovable characters in a novel, where the female star and the male lead fall in love, and he rescues her on set? But here, she was an antagonist, someone who got beaten up daily and only managed to rise up much later. And she had to support Chen Fan every day?

Ridiculous.

Chen Fan’s exam didn’t last long; the questions were straightforward enough for him. And soon after, he left the school with Zhu Yeqing. Tao Xiaoyao naturally followed them. Whether she’d connect with Ye Aotian later was beyond Chen Fan’s concern.

“Why are you all acting like pigs? I got my certificate, and yet the company’s stock hasn’t risen?” At nine in the morning, during a company meeting, Chen Fan was in a fit of rage.

The employees were too scared to look at him directly. A newcomer finally stood up and said, “Boss, Ye Aotian’s company released the longevity soup, and the response has been very positive.”

“What happened to the research department? With all the money we spend on you every month, are you good for nothing?”

The company was on the brink of collapse, and if nothing changed, it would go bankrupt. But Chen Fan, this ‘level-up character,’ couldn’t let the company fail just yet.

The reason the company had to survive? The celebrity endorsement.

This upcoming female celebrity, with her endorsement, would push the company into a new phase. The pharmaceutical company would pivot to beauty products.

And the company’s closure? That would mark their wedding.

By then, Chen Fan would be required to take over a new company and once again serve as a stepping stone for the protagonist.

“Enough, I don’t want explanations! I’m tired of hearing that so many of you can’t take down a single Ye Aotian. Were you raised on pig slop?”

Returning to his office, Chen Fan, in a fit of rage, smashed his computer. The vase.  The watch.

This scene was meant for him to act out.

Zhu Yeqing looked at Chen Fan with an eager expression.

Chen Fan noticed her unusual expression.

What was she doing? That expectant look—what was she thinking?
