Feeling a little helpless, Li Huairou looked at the grumbling man in front of her. “Okay, Director, don’t speak anymore. I just need to go—is that it?”
Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “That would be great. Now, Huairou, you are calm, self-sufficient, and reliable. This task is perfect for you.”
He also had no choice. Recently, someone made a report to the higher-ups, complaining that the live broadcasts of their transmigration bureau were only either bloody, violent killings or short love dramas. The outcome was quite problematic. Therefore, the higher-ups asked the crossing bureau to quickly rectify it.
The purpose of this transmigration mission was to cater to the higher-ups.
But as a result, the second-generation transmigration bureaus were unhappy, and asked to leave, one after another.
Director Chen had no choice but to find Li Huairou. There were two weirdos in the transmigration bureau—one of them was Jiang Xiaolou, and the other was Li Huairou.
Sure enough, Li Huairou agreed.
Director Chen hurriedly sent Li Huairou to the Space-Time Gate. He watched her input the mission code and enter the Gate. The Space-Time Tunnel opened, and the green light in the live broadcast room lit up. Relief at last.
Wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead, Director Chen turned and left.
—
Li Huairou was lying on the bed, hot all over. She just wanted to have a good rest with her eyes closed, but the woman next to her didn’t seem to want her to rest—she kept on talking, and Li Huairou had a headache, so she was forced to open her eyes.
The woman who was speaking was beautiful and slender, crying as she spoke. “Huairou, Huairou, wake up, don’t leave your sister alone!”
A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes walked in and asked concernedly, “Huaiqing, how is Huairou?”
“Auntie!” the young woman sobbed.
Li Huairou had a terrible headache. The plot and the memory of the original owner struck her mind, one after another. Overwhelmed by information, she fainted again.
When she woke up, she found that it was quiet around her, it was already dark outside, and a young woman was lying at her bedside, asleep.
Li Huairou looked at her, truly unable to connect this gentle, refined girl with the crazy, neurotic second female lead of the later stages of the novel.
Li Huaiqing, the second female lead of the novel “Best to Meet You”, grew up with the male lead, Gao Lang, as his childhood sweetheart. Her mother, before death, was best friends with Gao Lang’s mother, and her father was also good friends with Gao Lang’s father for many years. However, Li Huaiqing’s parents died in a car accident when she and Gao Lang were still children. The sisters, Li Huaiqing and Li Huairou, were supposed to be sent to the orphanage, but Gao Lang’s parents were reluctant to send them away. They adopted Li Huaiqing and her sister, treating them as their own.
Li Huaiqing had liked Gao Lang since she was a child. Everyone around her, including Gao Lang’s parents, thought that they were a couple. Li Huaiqing was good-looking and outstanding. He did not deny what the others thought, going with the flow.
But the situation changed after Gao Lang met the female lead, Bai Duoduo. Bai Duoduo and Li Huaiqing were two completely different girls.
If Li Huaiqing was a gentle, delicate lotus, then Bai Duoduo was a passionate rose. Gao Lang was deeply attracted to Bai Duoduo’s passionate, unrestrained nature, and drifted away from Li Huaiqing.
Li Huaiqing, expectant, waited for Gao Lang to propose to her and enter the palace of marriage. But she didn’t expect that what was waiting for her was Gao Lang holding Bai Duoduo’s hand and officially introducing Bai Duoduo to everyone as his girlfriend.
Gao Lang’s parents were angry and embarrassed. They had long regarded Huaiqing as their future daughter-in-law, but Gao Lang brought back a girlfriend. What was this supposed to mean!
Li Huaiqing couldn’t accept this reality and ran out.
Gao Lang’s parents, distressed, asked Gao Lang to rush and chase her. But Gao Lang refused, thinking that Li Huaiqing was already an adult and there would be no problem.
In the end, Li Huaiqing’s younger sister, Li Huairou, was the one to chase after her.
Li Huaiqing was unharmed, but Li Huairou, who was only 20 years old, was hit by a drunk driver, seriously injured, and sent to the hospital.
The doctor said that she had injured a nerve in her lumbar spine and might be paralyzed.
Gao Lang and Bai Duoduo hurried to the hospital when they heard the news. As soon as Papa Gao saw Gao Lang, he slapped him angrily and told him to get out!
Li Huaiqing’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she still intercepted Gao Lang in a gentle and tender manner, saying that Gao Lang was not at fault, it was her fault, it was her who failed to take good care of her sister!
Then she fainted directly in Mama Gao’s arms.
Gao Lang didn’t think he was in the wrong, and he said so in front of Li Huairou when she woke up.
Papa Gao and Mama Gao became even more angry, immediately throwing Gao Lang out. On top of that, they also discharged Gao Lang from all positions in their company and suspended his credit cards.
Who could have ever guessed that Gao Lang, together with Bai Duoduo, did not fall, but started from scratch instead. They opened an online store, ran livestreams to sell merchandise, and their business became ever more prosperous.
Over time, the attitude of Gao Lang’s father and mother also changed. They originally thought that Bai Duoduo was just greedy for the Gao family’s background, but it now seemed that she was, indeed, a good girl. Afterward, Papa Gao suddenly fell ill, leaving no one in charge of the company. Although Li Huaiqing had the ability to take his place, her status could not justify doing so, and she was unable to convince the public. In desperation, Mama Gao had to call Gao Lang back.
Gao Lang stabilized the overall situation in the company, and Bai Duoduo took good care of Papa Gao.
Thus, over time, Papa Gao’s and Mama Gao’s hearts gradually softened.
Li Huaiqing’s greatest reliance was on Papa Gao and Mama Gao. Watching that they had slowly begun to soften their hearts, she had been slightly blackened. Because of her younger sister’s injury, now she is completely blackened.
Li Huaiqing began to purposefully target Bai Duoduo, but Bai Duoduo always cleverly resolved each incident. Finally, out of jealousy, Li Huaiqing spiked Bai Duoduo’s wine in an attempt to find someone to harm Bai Duoduo. But at a critical moment, she was saved by Gao Lang.
After that night, Bai Duoduo became pregnant.
Bai Duoduo was pregnant, and so Papa Gao and Mama Gao were overjoyed, openly asking Gao Lang and Bai Duoduo to get married. To compensate Li Huaiqing, they disregarded how Li Huaiqing had previously acted, proposing the recognition of Li Huaiqing and Li Huairou as goddaughters and giving them 5% of the shares in their company.
Li Huaiqing felt completely cold.
On the surface, she gladly accepted it, but secretly contacted the Gao family’s business competitor and sold company information to them, causing numerous losses for the company.
The Gao family had always trusted her and didn’t doubt her at all.
However, Bai Duoduo overheard when Li Huaiqing was secretly contacting the other party. Furious, she demanded why Li Huaiqing did this.
Li Huaiqing looked at the bump on Bai Duoduo’s belly, only to feel that it was extremely enviable. She stretched out her hand and pushed Bai Duoduo down the stairs.
Seeing Bai Duoduo lying in a pool of blood, Li Huaiqing suddenly sobered up. She knew that once Bai Duoduo woke up, she would be finished.
Mama Gao had accompanied Papa Gao and Li Huairou to the hospital for an examination, and were not at home. There were only the two of them in the house. As long as Bai Duoduo died, no one would know what she had done.
Moreover, as long as Bai Duoduo died, no one would get in the way of her and Gao Lang.
Li Huaiqing simply did it all at once and immediately set a fire, hoping to destroy the corpse. Upon seeing the raging fire, she smiled happily.
But when Li Huaiqing pretended to have just learned the news and rushed back, wanting to comfort Mama Gao and Papa Gao, she learned that Bai Duoduo had been rescued in time, despite suffering severe burns all over her body. However, Li Huairou had been burned alive by the fire because her paralyzed legs had trapped her inside.
It turned out that Li Huairou had felt a little uncomfortable that day, so she hadn’t gone to the hospital, instead sleeping at home. Papa Gao and Mama Gao had gone to the hospital by themselves.
Li Huaiqing couldn’t accept this fact and abruptly fainted. After waking up, her spirit was a little abnormal.
At the same time, Gao Lang found out about the truth of the fire. After all, CCTV cameras were quite popular these years. Gao Lang was enraged and insisted that Li Huaiqing pay the price.
Papa Gao and Mama Gao were also very sad, disappointed, and angry. But they looked at Li Huaiqing, who was already crazy, and thought about Li Huairou, who had died in the fire, and softened, thinking that she had already been punished.
But Bai Duoduo was still lying in the intensive care unit. Even if Li Huairou was dead and Li Huaiqing had gone crazy, Gao Lang could not extinguish the anger in his heart.
He insisted on sending Li Huaiqing to prison. After that, he took Bai Duoduo overseas to receive skin grafting and plastic surgery.
A year later, the two returned. Bai Duoduo’s whole body was completely renewed, and there was no trace of burns. They held a grand wedding. In the second year after their marriage, Bai Duoduo became pregnant again, and the family lived happily.
Li Huairou sighed—the timing of her crossing was so unfortunate, just after her car accident. God, she was a healthy person, but could only sit in a wheelchair. It really was sad.
Li Huaiqing suddenly heard Li Huairou sighing. She raised her head and saw that Li Huairou had opened her eyes. “Huairou, are you awake? Is there any discomfort?”
Li Huairou suddenly scrunched her eyes, and then tears came down. “Jie, it hurts!”
[Older sister / an older woman with whom you are close]
Li Huaiqing was distressed and sorrowful; it was all her fault that Li Huairou was hurt. “Huairou, I’m terrible, it’s all my fault, I didn’t take care of you.”
“Jie, it has nothing to do with you. It’s my fault for crossing the road carelessly.” Li Huairou added softly, “But jie, next time, don’t leave me alone, okay? I was so scared!”
“No, I’ll never leave you alone in the future,” Li Huaiqing cried.
Li Huairou said softly, “Jie, I want to move out.”
“Huairou?” Li Huaiqing was stunned, looking at Li Huairou blankly.
“Jie, no matter how good the Gao family is, it’s not our home. I used to think that you and Gao Lang were a couple, so I lived in the Gao house with peace of mind. But Gao Lang-ge has a girlfriend now, so what’s our reason to continue living with the Gao family? It’s not like we don’t have a house. Jie, let’s move out, okay?” Li Huairou took Li Huaiqing’s hand and declared, “Every day I stay with the Gao family, I’ll always remember the humiliation Gao Lang-ge brought to you, and I’ll always remember the fear of that night. Jie, do you know? When the car hit me, it really hurt, but there was no one by my side, so I was super scared!”
[Older brother / an older man with whom you are close]
Li Huaiqing couldn’t hold it in anymore, hugging Li Huairou and bursting into tears. “Stop, stop, I promise you, we’ll move out.”
Li Huairou also cried, but there was a satisfied smile on her face. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late just yet.
