Villainess With a Cat Changing System Ch.27

Huo Yu’s account was frozen by Father Huo, and only people in the circle knew about the cut-off of supplies. The public was still unaware.

Everyone thought Huo Yu was just here to have fun.

There were also some rumors about Huo Yu loving to play and seeking excitement.

With so many programs to promote and publicize, why did they choose a wilderness survival show to create a sensation?

This supposed rich second-generation running off to a wilderness survival show to engage in some behind-the-scenes dealings and pursue first place, it’s too fake. It’s truly laughable.

What’s the point?!

What will they use to cover up the fakery?

Who will believe it then?

No matter how these people speculated, their expressions of shock or disbelief were all recorded.

They wouldn’t speak out about what they were thinking in their hearts. In any case, they’ve already received the money, and some of them were already thinking about how to capitalize on this trend and gain some exposure when Huo Yu gets criticized.

Perhaps they can even gain sympathy from the onlookers.

In this shooting, there’s a director and all of them are actors. They know this is the final act, so they each brought out their variety show effects.

After making various expressions about the outcome, they hid their internal doubts.

What upset Huo Yu was that Lin Shuwei got a million-dollar endorsement contract and became first place, yet her happiness points only increased by 500.

This was far below her expectations.

She got the endorsement opportunity, earned money, and had a chance for exposure, but it’s just this little!

Huo Yu felt that her labor and efforts didn’t yield the expected results. She was annoyed, huffing with anger. Towards the end, she couldn’t continue recording, feeling impatient and unable to act. But it was agreed upon, and she couldn’t walk away.

Leaving would mean breaking the contract.

However, no one said that she couldn’t have a sour face, so Huo Yu completed the recording with a cold expression.

The host always liked to stir things up, always asking Huo Yu provocative questions and using words to make her uncomfortable.

“You two have such incredible coordination!”

“Are you also good friends in real life?”

“I really envy your friendship!”

The host asked as if they already knew the answer. Huo Yu didn’t respond, but Lin Shuwei did.

Lin Shuwei’s answer was undoubtedly “Yes.”

Friendship?!

How is that possible!

Huo Yu would never admit it!

The interview, along with predictions of the rankings, the announcements and everyone sharing their thoughts, took an entire day to film.

In the evening, everyone was going to have dinner together. Huo Yu chose not to go, while the others did.

Since Huo Yu didn’t go, Lin Shuwei also decided not to join in the fun.

She followed Huo Yu instead.

“President Huo, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to accompany you to see a doctor?” Lin Shuwei asked with concern.

“No, just tired. I want to go to sleep.” Huo Yu said in a listless tone.

“Okay. I’ll bring you some food. What do you feel like eating?” Lin Shuwei said.

“No need!” Huo Yu took a few quick steps.

If it were before the deserted island, with Lin Shuwei fawning over Huo Yu like this, Huo Yu would have made a mocking remark and given her a cold look.

But now, Huo Yu just felt somewhat annoyed.

Huo Yu entered her room and immediately closed the door.

Lin Shuwei looked at the closed door, stayed still for a few seconds, then turned and left.

There were no cars or boats in the evening. Huo Yu didn’t go anywhere either. She took a shower and lay down to sleep.

She slept for an unknown amount of time, and Huo Yu had a dream.

She woke up drenched in cold sweat.

Huo Yu wiped the sweat off her forehead, her face growing cold and almost freezing.

Damn it, she dreamt of being chased by a group of cats, and Lin Shuwei actually appeared in a heroic manner wearing a cloak to save her.

She felt so grateful and held onto Lin Shuwei tightly.

But she was the one who should be Lin Shuwei’s savior. Why did she dream of Lin Shuwei saving her?

Indeed, this woman, Lin Shuwei, was driving her crazy.

Huo Yu took another shower, feeling a bit hungry. She thought about ordering something to eat when she heard a knock on the door.

Huo Yu went to open the door, and there stood Lin Shuwei.

“Are you feeling better? This box has some desserts I bought nearby. They’re quite delicious, and I got an extra portion for you,” Lin Shuwei said when she saw Huo Yu in her pajamas at the door. She held a box, having searched for the best dessert shop in the vicinity and specifically bought Huo Yu’s favorite.

“I’m fine, I don’t want to eat. I’ll close the door!” Huo Yu glanced at the food, her stomach growling, but she still maintained a stern expression.

“Ding. Host rejects Lin Shuwei’s desserts. Happiness points -30.”

Lin Shuwei took back the box she had offered, and as Huo Yu was about to close the door, she heard the announcement from 006.

“Since you bought it, then thanks!” Huo Yu said with a cold face as she took the box from Lin Shuwei. 

“Don’t mention it. Aren’t I your assistant? If you need anything, just give me a call,” Lin Shuwei said with a smile as she looked at Huo Yu.

“Okay.” Huo Yu closed the door and immediately heard 006’s report that Lin Shuwei’s happiness points had increased by 50 and she was found adorable, resulting in a happiness boost of 100.

Huo Yu closed the door tightly and grabbed her hair, punching her fist toward the closed door.

What is this woman thinking? Is she crazy or what!

Lin Shuwei stood at the door, a smile appearing on her lips.

She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but every time Huo Yu felt embarrassed, her face would tense up, appearing serious and intimidating, but her ears would turn slightly red.

It was quite adorable!

Lin Shuwei returned to her own room across the hallway.

Huo Yu placed the box on the table in her room, her face feeling warm. She went to the window and enjoyed the sea breeze for a while.

When her stomach growled, Huo Yu turned around and finished eating everything in the box.

It had been several days since she had eaten outside food, and it was a dessert she liked. Not bad at all.

After finishing the food, her mood improved slightly.

Huo Yu contacted Xiang Xiaoli and asked her to arrange the return trip as soon as possible.

The first place came with a contract for endorsements that could be split between the two, but in the initial contract, Huo Yu had stated that if they won first place, she would not do the endorsements. Instead, the entire contract would go to her partner.

So only Lin Shuwei signed the endorsement contract.

Lin Shuwei still had some time before joining the set of Female Doctor in the Chaotic Era drama, so she had free time during this period. The location was close to the island and matched the theme of the upcoming shoot.

Lin Shuwei had to wait here for the crew to arrive and begin filming.

The next day, Huo Yu left early in the morning.

Upon hearing the news of Huo Yu’s departure, Lin Shuwei felt a little disappointed. However, she had work to do, so she had to continue staying there.

Several artists who didn’t qualify for the endorsement could only envy Lin Shuwei as they watched her leave.

“Ding. Lin Shuwei knows that the host has left. Happiness points -100.” After Huo Yu got into the car, she heard the announcement from 006.

Huo Yu wore sunglasses, crossed her arms and pursed her lips, but her ears turned slightly red.

This woman, she had merely left for a moment, yet it caused her happiness points to drop!

Are you kidding me?!

Happiness points was so precious, it’s better not to let it drop. She could wait for Lin Shuwei to finish filming and then go back together. She could have fun around here. The weather wasn’t cold, it’s not bad.

“Turn around and go back!” Huo Yu looked at the scenery outside for a while and told the driver.

Huo Yu rode back to the hotel, adjusted her expression, and prepared to coolly tell Lin Shuwei that she had just gone out for a walk and hadn’t left.

Huo Yu, carrying her bag and wearing sunglasses and high heels, got out of the car with great style, preparing to give Lin Shuwei a “surprise.” However, she saw Lin Shuwei and a man talking in the hotel lobby.

Lin Shuwei was smiling, and the man was also smiling. They seemed to be very close, but Huo Yu didn’t know what they were talking about.

Lin Shuwei even reached out her arm toward Huo Zhen and shook it.

And that man was none other than Huo Yu’s older brother, Huo Zhen.

Huo Yu’s steps halted, her raised chin lowered, the corners of her mouth drooped, and the coldness in her eyes beneath the sunglasses faded away.

The people over there were engrossed in their conversation and didn’t notice her. Huo Yu took a few steps back, turned around, and left.

On the other side of the hotel lobby, Huo Zhen and Lin Shuwei were talking, accompanied by a short person who only revealed a pair of bright, watery eyes. The person was sitting on the sofa, hidden by its height, with their head not showing.

“Big Sister, I… I missed you, so I begged Big Brother Huo to bring me to see you. I’m sorry for worrying you,” the person sitting on the sofa said softly, their voice timid and gentle.

This girl was none other than Lin Shuxiao.

“I happened to come on a business trip to this area, so I brought her along. I consulted with the doctor, and she has recovered well after the surgery. The temperature is higher in the south, making it more comfortable. She was well-behaved all the way and didn’t catch a cold. You can rest assured,” Huo Zhen said, his eyes looking at Lin Shuxiao with great tenderness, a hint of amusement in his expression.

“Thank you, Mr. Huo. It’s been troublesome for you. Xiao Xiao, you’re quite resourceful. It’s not convenient to talk here, so let’s go to the room first. Did Mr. Huo book the room?” Lin Shuwei touched Lin Shuxiao’s head and spoke.

She also missed Lin Shuxiao a lot, but until this matter is resolved, she can’t go back.

Huo Zhen had already booked the room on his side and was in the process of completing the paperwork. The hotel staff quickly delivered the room key to Huo Zhen.

Huo Zhen carried the luggage and escorted the two sisters upstairs.

“Where’s Xiao Yu? Why can’t I see her? I wanted to surprise her. She must have suffered a lot on this wilderness survival show,” Huo Zhen asked Lin Shuwei on the way.

“I knocked on Ms. Huo’s door this morning, but nobody was there. The hotel staff said she checked out and left,” Lin Shuwei replied.

“Maybe she’s had enough. I’ll give her a call later, maybe I can bring her back,” Huo Zhen said.

After Huo Zhen had delivered the luggage and the two of them to the room, he didn’t linger and went to his own room.

When the two sisters were together, Lin Shuxiao took off her mask and hat and smiled sweetly at Lin Shuwei.

“When sister is done being busy, I’ll take you out to play. How could you be so bold and come with Mr. Huo? When did you start calling him brother?” Lin Shuwei looked at Lin Shuxiao, hugged her, and touched her head, asking.

“After sister left, Big Brother Huo would come to see me every day and bring me delicious food. He asked me to call him Big Brother. He’s very nice. He told me he was coming on a business trip to this area, so I asked him to bring me along to see you,” Lin Shuxiao said, a little afraid of Lin Shuwei’s reproach.

“He just came to see you, nothing strange happened?” Lin Shuwei asked.

“What strange thing?” Lin Shuxiao blinked and asked Lin Shuwei.

“Nothing. You must be tired from the plane and car ride. What would you like to eat?” Lin Shuwei shook her head and said.

Although Lin Shuxiao was already eighteen years old, she had been in poor health since childhood, often running between home and the hospital. She was not on the same page as her peers and had a very pure personality.

Although she was gentle, she was also very cautious with people and rarely trusted someone as much as this.

Although Lin Shuwei was very grateful to Huo Zhen and had a good impression of his character.

But Huo Zhen was being a little too good to Lin Shuxiao, and there was something off about the way he looked at her.

Before, it was said that because Lin Shuwei was a Tianyu employee, he helped solve Lin Shuxiao’s surgery issue, which was already very dedicated. Lin Shuwei had left, but he still went to see Lin Shuxiao every day?

Lin Shuwei decided to talk to Huo Zhen.

    I always need to think about their future and that 006 must be the best mood killer ever, with his live and probably mechanical and monoton commentary like e.g. “Ding, Lin Shuwei took the Hosts first kiss, happiness value +75” or even funnier/worse (depends on the viewpoint) when they land in bed and like we all know that Huo Zhen is the bottom “Ding, Lin Shuwei made the host orgasm, happiness value +500”. This must be absolutely hilarious the see if you are not Huo Zhen xD
