Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 297: Selena Tang (46)

Only one thing came to mind as Jiang Li watched the woman strode into the elevator.

'Sufficiently ruthless.'

Mo Fang was dragged away by the male bodyguards under the unblinking eyes of the spectators, a few of the people she arranged to take videos and entrap Selena Tang. These arranged spectators exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to do. The reborn woman's plan did backfire at her. But it was her sole fault because, in the first place, it was not what she prepared herself to yet still pushed it through.

While it was true that the crazy actress wanted to take revenge against the scriptwriter, her initial plan was to simply stab Selena or spray sulfuric acid on her face to ruin her beautiful looks.  

Jiang Li, of course, would not allow that.  His hypnosis worked one last time on the woman, ensuring that she would not do her any harm.

Yet Mo Fang was persistent, or more like, the hatred in her heart for everything she was experiencing wouldn't let her leave things just like that. Her instinct rendered her planning something else impromptu. Her brain miraculously interpreted the harm as the kind limited only to physical.

'Allowing her to have different interpretations of my psychological cue is probably a perk of someone sent back in time.' He sighed.

In any case, everything led to the current situation. When Jiang Li's phone conversation with Qin Tai ended, Selena was already confronting Mo Fang.

The man thought of what was happening on the internet and went silent.

It was ten minutes later that he knocked on the door to Selena's hotel room.

Would she greet him with an angry expression then blame him for not properly concluding things with Mo Fang? Or simply give him the cold shoulder?

"It's me, Jiang Li," he said, though unsure if his voice could transmit to the other side of the door. His right forefinger kept pressing the doorbell.

It was about a minute later that she popped her head outside, looking up at him a bit as she widened the gap of the door. "What do you want?"

He was silent as he pondered over what to say. If he were to continue acting like before, then the next course of action should be to tease her why she left, gradually reveal that he knew what happened, and then ask how she felt about the matter. But as the real Jiang Li, was that really what he should do?

He closed his eyes. The girl said softly, "Hurry and say it here. I don't plan to invite you in."

'I don't have anything to say yet though.' He laughed.

A moment later, he found himself pulling her to his chest. "I'm sorry."

That was all that came out of his mouth.

He remembered that no matter how he acted out his current role, he was Jiang Li, not Zheng Xiang. The real him was a ghost tunneling through space and time for missions. Yet at the same time, he was this woman's husband for so many lifetimes.

He was not someone versed in love matters, probably the reason why his first girlfriend betrayed him for money, but ever since he got married to her when she was still Na Yu and continued being with her through different lifetimes, he knew he would not have any other woman in his life until his soul dispersed.

"Is it a mistake to chase after you this early when I've yet to settle Zheng Xiang's matters?" The question was muttered absent-mindedly.

Selena's mind was not on how he mentioned 'Zheng Xiang' as if it was somebody else. She was stunned after suddenly being enclosed within his arms. However, she was still rational, so she started pushing him away. "Mister Zheng, or Mister Jiang Observe manners, please. If your goal is to apologize for the misdeed of ex-wife, you already completed your goal so you can now scram."

He didn't insist. It was already a miracle that she didn't have her bodyguards storm out to pummel him down. However, he didn't leave yet.

He laughed and lowered his gaze to the floor before seriously looking at her.

"Before I scram, let me tell you something," he said, watching her grab the handle of the doorknob.

His next words made her freeze on the spot. "I want to take you home" 

...

They said that karma was really a b*tch. And Jiang Li could not agree more than that.

Mo Fang became viral again, not only because she tried to frame Tang 'Selena' Yue, but because as a result of Liu De's act of divulging Jiang Li's former name, it was gradually revealed that the domestic violence was not true.

Basically, now she was branded as a woman who hooked up with a younger actor for fame and wealth because, at that time, Liu De's career was soaring and he was backed by three powerful ladies. One reason, or more like schemes, after another, led to the divorce which left one man condemned of a crime he did not commit.

She lived happily for a few months after. But then when her ex-husband tried to make a comeback, she stole his songs and gave them to Liu De, an act which spelled her doom, leading to her bad deeds being exposed.

Probably in this world, there were still some women worse than her, but right now, the title of 'Worst Scumbag Woman' was formally attached to her name.

The court reopened the case about domestic violence since some 'fans' rallied some people and protested in real life and online. She had to exert some of her remaining contacts to end it with paying monetary compensation. After all, with her case of perjury and adultery, it would have been no wonder if she was put behind the bars for at least a year. But while the endeavor was successful and her freedom was retained, it burned a huge hole in her bank accounts though, leaving her with a bit of wealth only enough for her to survive half a year in frugality.

She could have just simply withdrawn from the entertainment stage and enter the corporate world with her plethora of knowledge and 'foresight' in business, but because she pissed off the Tang family, specifically Selena's grandfather, nobody would want to hire her or shelter her.

Those she blackmailed before also found her current situation as an opportunity to banish her from the capital. Mo Fang had no choice but accept the arrangement of one of them as she had even received death threats from the others.

Even though she managed to settle down and she was not jailed, there was never a day that she never felt miserable and regret over her actions.
