Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 300: Selena Tang (49)

Qin Tai somehow met Mo Zan at the wedding of his good friend Wen Hui. The woman had that same queenly aura since she was still the boss of a whole company, yet mixed with it was some hint of gloominess. Obviously, the slight decline of Dreamer for the past years had dealt some damage to her esteem, or made her a bit morose. 

He politely raised a glass towards her as a response when she raised her glass for a toast. After that, he looked away.

The painter Gao Jing approached him and clinked his champagne flute against his. "Cheers! One less unmarried guy in the world!"

"Are you doing this intentionally? I'm single. I'm not the one you should be looking for," a bit irritated, he replied.

Gao Jing laughed, "Well, the groom has already left. Jiang Li also slipped out with his girlfriend. And you look lonely in this corner."

The man shook his head. His friend's words were a bit offending but true. For the past years, he never entered a relationship, even after he moved on completely from his first love. It was not that he developed an aversion towards girls or love itself. He just couldn't find the right person. Well, his fault was not actively looking for it and believing it would come find him on its own.

He had to admit that Jiang Li had done him a bit of damage. Ever since the 'love yourself first' motto got etched into his mind, he began to feel like if he would ever fall in love again, it had to be with someone who would love him more than he loved himself. That selfish thoughts just blossomed and had yet to wither from the depths of his heart even though he knew it might lead to him being single for life.

When he fessed this up to Jiang Li, the older man laughed and said, 'Hey, there is nothing wrong with your choice. If you think you're not yet the kind of treasure you want to be, it's fine. Take your time. Become better than you currently are so when the time comes and you fall hard again, at least it will be easier for you to remember your true worth once it goes south again.'

The funny words of his friend made him realize. It might be that after experiencing to be at the bottom and be left with nothing after he offered his all, he somehow wanted to experience the same, to be the person receiving that kind and intensity of affection. Would that time ever come though?

Qin Tai laughed. Gao Jing thought his expression was weird and walked away to look for another person to chat with, someone more normal.

As for the CEO, since he didn't want to mingle with people yet also didn't want to be pointed at for being a loner, he decided to simply leave. The event was over anyways and he was not the kind which needed to be escorted out by the hosts.

Joining Gao Jing, Dwight, and the others for a brief get together? No, thanks. Those people were all with their girlfriends. He would just make the situation awkward since an hour ago, he laughed after seeing all his friends together with women used to be close to Liu De. For sure, those narrow-minded guys would not let go of the chance to mock him once he came over.

He was speaking on the phone with his mother who was somewhere in the hall when he bumped into Mo Zan again on his way to the elevator. He looked at her for a couple of seconds.

Mo Zan He heard that the past two years had quite been rough for her, and he had a hunch it was because Jiang Li kept doing some harassment tactics in their business through some unknown means.

That time, the company had yet to recover from the numerous scandals brought to them by Liu De and Mo Fang. They managed to stay afloat, but it couldn't be denied that since then Dreamer was barely comparable to his Starlight, unlike before when they were standing shoulder to shoulder in the Entertainment World. It was a result that stemmed from Mo Zan and Mo Fang's act of threatening him two years ago.

Was there still anyone that pissed off Jiang Li before who have yet to get some sort of revenge from him? 

To be honest, he couldn't remember. He was included among those that tasted revenge from the two-faced guy since he accidentally angered him one time when he got drunk and tossed his laptop on the pool while laughing. He was having a hard time recalling why he did that. 

Qin Tai regained his senses and realized the woman had been staring at him with a complicated glint in her eyes. He merely nodded then walked past her. 

"You loved too early, and I, too late" After she said in a bitter voice while wearing a self-mocking expression, she did not do anything else.

Back then, he pretended that he did not hear her. But he was thankful that she seemed to have accepted that there was no possibility of a restart between them, unless miracles exist.

'Hmm? A guy thinking he has already crossed the bridged when he had just got there?'

Dong Lan saw the brief encounter and subconsciously divined about them. Now, he no longer needed tarot cards or other tools since he could do it by simply looking at the person's appearance for around five seconds.

The vision he got was interesting... and cringe-worthy, and he wanted to inform the other about it.

Unfortunately, before he could approach the tall and handsome guy who seemed to be quite close to his fellow transmigrator, the campus belle named Xia Ling called out his name and distracted him with small talks. When he remembered the prediction again, the other was already nowhere in sight. Seeing this, he could shrug and then escort his girlfriend home.

'That man seems to be related to my mysterious friend. I'll just have Jiang Li pass the message to him.'

When the guy got to the hotel sponsored by Tang Yu Yan and her husband to those who came afar, poor or not, regardless of profession, he pulled up his phone and texted,

'Hello. I know you're familiar with a guy called Qin Tai. Tell him I did some little predictions for him,' he began, diving in the bed. 

'His career will have small ups and downs but it is guaranteed that he won't cause his family to be bankrupt.'

'... And his love life will be the same, quite colorful. After all, he seems to be like a character from a book. Tall, rich, and handsome (I'm sincerely not hoping in the back of my head for him to die). Girls fell for him easily. But after being hurt and recovering from it, he will fall for someone head over heels, no, completely obsessed, for him. She will be quite destitute and in dire straits though for being thrown out by her clan or something...'

'Oh, and her name is Mo Zan... someone he should be familiar with already! I don't know what's their fates. But it's like something written by a sicko author! A villainess turning into a good leaf and a guy with a terminal dead inside disease, the usual and undying combination in drama novels nowadays!'

The guy who had regained a bit of cheekiness subtly hinted to make sure his name as the fortune-teller was mentioned. His goal was to reap some benefits from the wealthy man as an exchange for his reading. 

Dong Lan's message got through.

However, that time, Jiang Li's phone was nowhere in reach, thrown somewhere together with his outer coat and other pieces of clothing. It was gloriously ignored even after it rang for more than a minute.

The reason? Well, not because he was back to his lonely townhouse, taking a bath. But because he was still at Selena Tang's penthouse with the passionate event in front of the door somehow proceeding to her bedroom.

The man had missed holding his wife in his arms for two lifetimes so when the atmosphere escalated into something steamy, he just let things happened. Dong Lan's message was snubbed since the supposed recipient of the text was busy with a matter more important than somebody else's fortune.
