Transmigrating Into The Male Lead’s Villainess Older Sister

In fact, the idea to pressure that model company Siyu signed with wasn’t just from Duan Rulan’s alone.

Duan Rulan didn’t achieve what she had wanted when she went to visit Siyu. She returned home, closed the door, and lost her temper.  After being freed from her previous unlucky marriage, her life had been smooth-sailing in the past twenty years. Ji Family’s business was very big and was the tyrant of Jiang City’s business circle. She was the dignified madam of the Ji family. Everywhere she went, people would crowd around her and they would pay careful attention to her expression. So, she’s never been this angry nor so humiliated!

To add oil to the fire, it was the sickly daughter who she has always hated who did this to her! Duan Rulan felt that she had lost her face and was enraged. Who does Zhou Siyu think she is? She crawled out from her belly and still dared to challenge her own mother like this. She was truly an ill-mannered and unlucky money-losing commodity!

At this moment, Duan Rulan didn’t remember at all that it was she who left the family and abandoned her daughter first, failing to fulfill the responsibility of a mother. Duan Rulan even thought gladly, fortunately, she was decisive at that time and wasn’t tied to Zhou Siyu’s family. Otherwise, now she might have wasted her time and couldn’t be the wealthy and carefree madam that she is today. 

Immediately, Duan Rulan’s anger subsided a bit. She didn’t even care about the blue and white porcelain that was smashed when she was venting her anger just now. She sat down and repaired her makeup. At this moment, Ji Wenhao heard the ruckus and came down from his study room upstairs. His gaze swept across the pieces on the ground and frowned at the mess. He looked at his wife and asked: “What’s the matter with you? I was discussing business just now.”

“Wenhan——” Duan Rulan saw her husband and her eyes lit up. That’s right, Zhou Siyu dared to not give her face. She refused to give in. In that case, she (DR) wouldn’t hold back either. There were many ways to make Zhou Siyu leave Jiang City.

“Wenhan, you should pay more attention to your son and rein him in. Look at what kind of people Ah Lin has befriended outside! Do you know that he is currently chasing after a little model? That girl doesn’t have any fame nor family background, isn’t she just using her face to bewitch him? Ah-Lin is too young. With his status, how could he hang around with such a woman?” Duan Rulan complained with half-lie half-truth, “I told you before that the entertainment circle is a mess. You didn’t listen to me and let him go. If you controlled him at that time, perhaps right now he would be working with you in the company.”

Ji Wenhao had thought she would talk about some important issue, but after listening to Duan Rulan, he unconcernedly said: “He’s young. Young people are impulsive and immature. It’s fine if he  plays, as long as he paid attention to his conduct in public.”

Hearing her husband say this, Duan Rulan couldn’t help biting her lower lips. That’s right, their family was exactly like this. The husband kept a bunch of lovers outside, but he never brought them back to upset her. As for her, she only needs to properly act as the legal wife. She does not need to get involved nor does she need to know any specifics, and she will enjoy a high position and great wealth. Since she originally rushed to be married because of his status and his rich and powerful family, she had never expected much love. Moreover, Ji Wenhao had a physical problem. In this life, he could only have Ji Lin as his successor. Wouldn’t the Ji family be hers completely in the future?

It’s a pity that her son was also rebellious. No matter how many times she warns him about the unwritten rules of the upper-class society¹ and the games that they play, he didn’t listen. After he entered the entertainment circle, he moved out to live alone.  Since then, he doesn’t come home for even half a year. Duan Rulan couldn’t understand, how could Ji Wenhan be so unfazed?

Ji Wenhan clearly understood what Duan Juran was conflicted about, reassuring her: “I know Ah Lin’s temperament. The more he is not allowed to do something, the more he will do it. Instead of forcing him to listen to me and make him quarrel with his family, it’s better to go along with him first. Anyway, he will come back sooner or later.”

He paused, then added meaningfully: “Even if Ah -Lin does not cooperate, I have my ways to make him obediently submit. As for the little model you mentioned, if you’re really concerned, then you should think of a way to make her back out. Which company did she sign with? “

Duan Rulan immediately understood.

The Ji family’s connection network in Jiang City was very wide. Without much effort, Duan Rulan successfully found the boss of that model company.  She, directly and indirectly, let them think of a way to get rid of Zhou Siyu.

How could the little boss dare to offend this Madam Ji? He immediately nodded fervently and agreed. Later, he searched for Siyu’s contract. Well, well. The girl signed the lowest level contract, the one with the despot clause. The company could find any random reason to terminate the contract. Not only could Siyu not refuse, but she also had to pay the compensation fee.

Just like this, when the model company called Siyu, she only got a verbal notice of her terminated contract as well as a twenty million yuan debt. 

1: usually ones that codify improper behaviors such as leveraging connections to get favorable treatment, or coercing employees for sexual favors

Twenty million yuan. Where would she get so much money? Si Yu was shocked. She quickly pulled out the contract that she had signed. After a careful look, she was speechless.

This contract was truly a death pit that sought people’s life. At that time, the original Si Yu’s eyes were probably blinded by lard¹. She hadn’t understood it at all before she rashly signed the contract.

Si Yu didn’t understand these twists and turns very well. After thinking about it, she called Yu Ling. Ever since she happened to save Beibei, Yu Ling’s attitude towards her turned one hundred and eighty degrees. Whenever she was free, she would visit her door and bring something with her. Yu Ling even mentioned that she wanted to introduce a new photo shooting work to Siyu. However, Siyu had her ambitions elsewhere, so she politely refused.

On the phone, Yu Ling was also shocked when she heard about the twenty million matter: “Twenty million? It’s impossible. Why did they say you went against the contract without cause or reason?”

Yu Ling had been in the entertainment circle for many years. She keenly sensed that something was not right. After pacifying Si Yu, she quickly asked her friend to specifically find out what’s going on. This time, she finally had a clue.

“Siyu, I have asked my friend. Although he wasn’t willing to speak frankly, he hinted that you have offended someone.” Yu Ling found it strange. Siyu’s health wasn’t good. She had to stay at home and rest all the time. Except for the cover shooting from last time, she had never taken any other job. So, how could she offend someone? Yu Ling said, “Think about it carefully. If there’s truly someone who wants to make you suffer, you might as well have an idea who it is and why. “

The entertainment circle was no different from other places. It’s all about connections and resources. Yu Ling’s friend wasn’t willing to tell her who was behind this. Then, it’s possible that this person has a high position and in Jiang City, no one could afford to offend this person.

Yu Ling was really worried about Siyu and urged her anxiously, “Think about it!”

Siyu was somewhat helpless: “Ling-jie, it is useless for me to worry about it.” Nevertheless, Siyu could still guess who it was who wanted to give her a hard time. Aside from her own biological mother—Duan Rulan, who walked away in anger—who else would “care” about her?

“This won’t work…. Siyu, the newest release of 《Feng Shang》magazine will be on the market soon. You are the cover page model. If the reaction is good, this time you could become an instant hit! But now, this kind of matter appeared. If you don’t resolve this, then you….” Yu Ling pondered about it and thought this situation won’t do. She gritted her teeth and said, “Just wait, I’ll find a reliable lawyer for you. In addition, if the person who wanted to make you suffer wouldn’t let you stay in the circle, then you’ll have to find a bigger backer to protect you.”  

Siyu asked: “You mean… Huan Yi?” She smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Ling-jie, how could others take a fancy on me? I’m just an obscure small model. Moreover, signing with me means paying those two million penalties for me. Who’s foolish enough to willingly lose money in business?”

“Who said you’re obscure?” Yu Ling suddenly asked.

Si Yu was stunned and didn’t quite understand what she was talking about.

Yu Ling continued: “You missed the audition before, but there was a new release of 《Fashion¹ Icon》! I’ll tell you that the finished product was beyond your expectations. I dare to guarantee with my many years of experience that you will definitely be popular. Even Mr. Zhang Chao, this great God who has never participated in the follow-up publicity, has declared that he will recommend you to his peers in the photography circle. Do you know how rare this is?! “

To be honest, Siyu didn’t have any confidence in that shooting and even felt bad. When Yu Ling said this, she felt like it was unreal: “Ling-jie, are you serious?”

Yu Ling said mysteriously: “Today Fashion’s official page will post an announcement about the release,  and they chose one of your photos to use. Originally, they had agreed to use Ji Lin’s photo. After all, he had a lot of fans. But Ji Lin specifically told them to use you for the main propaganda. Speaking of which, this guy, Ji Lin, looks after you very much. If it wasn’t for the fact that you two haven’t interacted with each other at all, I would have thought that he was interested in you.”

Si Yu guiltily tried to change the topic: “Well, he is a very good person…. Maybe he just wanted to help out a newcomer. It doesn’t mean anything else. “

This silly boy always uses this move! Always covertly doing good deeds without leaving a name behind, was he afraid that she might not be happy when she finds out? If so, then you should do it more secretly. Yu Ling was close to completely exposing Ji Lin and his good deeds for her.

Siyu didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. She thought of the things that Duan Rulan had done. For a while, she had mixed feelings. A silly boy like Ji Lin actually had this kind of mother. She was also completely speechless about this.

1: from henceforth Feng Shang will be called in its English term – Fashion. (Afterall it’s a fashion magazine, and I kinda decided that it feels weird to continue on with the Chinese name?)

Yu Ling didn’t know that Siyu’s mind had drifted far away, and continued: “Don’t worry about the matter with the company for now. As long as Huan Yi is willing to sign you on, it won’t be a problem anymore. I believe no one would dare to move against you under the Lu family’s eyes! Oh, by the way, Huan Yi has bought several entertainment companies and they will publicize this matter at the gathering tomorrow. Moreover, they’ll also hold a banquet to welcome the new actors and actresses. When that time comes, the new president of Huan Yi will also be present. Siyu, you should go with me and see whether you have a chance to build up a connection with Huan Yi or not.”

With that, Yu Ling lowered her voice: “The new president is from the Lu family and he came from that Rong Cheng clan. It’s estimated that this position is not low. I heard that he is quite young. You should properly seize this opportunity.

Siyu wanted to say something, but she felt that Yu Ling had been hinting something to her. She pondered about it until she suddenly got the gist of it. Could it be that Yu Ling wanted her to try seducing the president? Come on,  no one would take a fancy on her with this sickly appearance, okay?

While Siyu firmly believed so. Who would have thought that her personal information had been shuffled several times in the hand of Lu Xingzhou, the new president of Huan Yi?

Lu family’s information network was well concealed and vast. Almost immediately, Lu Xingzhou had learned the matter of Siyu being attacked by the company.

“Then just sign her into Huanyi!” Lu Xingzhou his hand, “Just think of it as keeping a spare person. Anyway,  I don’t expect her to make money. I could just put her there and then report this back to Fifth Master.”

He properly arranged for Si Yu. In this way, the favor would be returned. Otherwise, with little model’s current qualifications, it was impossible to catch the attention of Huan Yi. Lu Xingzhou shook his head and thought that this time, the girl named Zhou Siyu was truly hit by a meat pie falling from the sky².

“Is this about me?” When Lu Xingzhou thought that he would finally solve his problem, a cold voice sounded. Lu Xingzhou suddenly raised his head and saw Fifth Master Lu standing in the doorway, wearing the usual pear white tang suit.

Lu Xingzhou almost lost his breath: “Fi-Fifth Master? !”

He looked at the secretary standing respectfully behind Fifth Master Lu. The secretary shook his head in fear, motioning that he did not have the courage to stop this God. In response, Lu Xingzhou immediately curbed in his usual arrogance. He greeted him and asked: “Fifth Master, why are you here?”

Fifth Master Lu was tall and handsome. The traditional clothing that he wore made him look like he came out of an ancient painting. He had gorgeous features that made people nervous. Although he was obviously just smiled and stood there, his whole aura pressured Lu Xingzhou and made him somewhat unable to breathe easily.

“I just happened to go to Xiangji Temple on the outskirts of Jiang City to visit my old man. Then, I just decided to come and take a look along the way.” Fifth Master Lu slowly turned the praying beads in his hand. This was his habitual action, especially when he was thinking deeply. The speed of turning the bead would become very slow, just like the tone when he was speaking, which always unconsciously brought a strong sense of oppression.

As the direct descendant of Lu’s family, Xiangji temple was a place that Lu Xingzhou has heard of. It’s said that Fifth Master Lu had a demonic life pattern (T/N: ermm, it’s somehow like bad luck). He suffered a serious illness when he was young. After that, his parents sent him to the Xiangji temple to cultivate under the guidance of a senior man. After his parents died, he was brought back from the temple by Lu’s family. This was because the peacefulness and quietness from Buddhism could suppress the evil spirit that lurked over Fifth Master Lu’s body. As a result, Fifth Master Lu always carried a string of Buddha beads. It’s said that the materials of the Buddha beads were also very valuable.

The old friend that Fifth Master Lu spoke of was probably a monk he had gotten acquainted with during his childhood when he was practicing in the temple.

Lu Xingzhou was stunned and immediately said: “Fifth Master, you just arrived. Tomorrow night Huan Yi will hold a banquet and all the actors and actresses under Huan Yi will be present there. If you are free, you might as well come and have a look?”

In fact, this was just a casual mention from Lu Xingzhou. This Fifth Master Lu liked quietness and wasn’t close to women. He was extremely abstinent. He always declined when someone invited him to go out of his hermit-like life. There’s no way he would come to this kind of noisy celebrity gathering, right?

Yet unexpectedly, Fifth Master Lu agreed: “OK.”

” I’ll divide the workload and immediately accompany you…. What?” Lu Xingzhou suddenly reacted with an uncontrolled raised volume. When Fifth Mater Lu indifferently glanced at him,  he managed to control his astonishment with great difficulty and asked cautiously, “You are… interested in this?”

Lu Xingzhou didn’t dare to ask Fifth Master Lu of whether he was interested in a certain little celebrity or not. If these words came out, Fifth Master would definitely choke him.

Who would have thought that Fifth Master Lu didn’t get angry. He looked down, unconsciously turned the beads in his hand faster, and said: “Just now, my old friend from the Xianji temple calculated a divination for me.”

He glanced at Lu Xingzhou. The latter’s expression didn’t show any anger nor happiness: “It’s the marriage divination, the red phoenix star has moved. I wanted to verify whether my old friend’s skill has become rusty or not for him to calculate such divination.”

Lu Wuye’s tone was very gentle. Lu Xingzhou shivered when he heard this. He was completely dumbstruck.

Marriage? ——he wasn’t hearing things, right? If anyone in this world could subdue this big demon, he—— Lu Xingzhou—— will do a live broadcast of him eating his keyboard!
