Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack Chapter 68

“Will someone please explain to me what’s going on?” When Mother Xun returned to the living room, she saw this startling scene.
XunMi pushed the man hugging her. Holding Han ge’s hand, she happily introduced him to her parents. “Dad, mom. This is Han ge, the son-in-law that your daughter has selected for you. Outstanding, right?” Both of them couldn’t hide the pride from their eyes, much less Mo WenHan’s fiery gaze on XunMi, as they stood together.
“Outstanding,” Father Xun robotically responded as his heart continued to collapse. If he had known earlier, he would have retaliated when Le family came to cancel he engagement. His outstanding treasure deserved someone more suitable for her anyways.
XunMi laughed. Mo WenHan also happily called out without a sense of unfamiliarity, “Dad. Mom.” To him, XunMi was already his Madam. Thus, her family would of course also be his family.
It was in this fleeting, fantasy-like atmosphere that Mother and Father Xun began their evening meal. They blankly watched Mo WenHan stole their daughter away, unable to collect their thoughts.
The next day, S city was flooded with news of XunMi and Mo WenHan’s engagement. Within a day, Xun family’s gates was almost smashed open by people hoping to make ties with them.
Le family wasn’t doing well. They weren’t able to get the opportunity to collaborate with Mo WenHan. Moreover, they even lost their gemstone betting master, An ZiYi. They were in a moment of repeated fumbles. With the addition of the news of Mo WenHan and XunMi’s engagement, Le family were at the heart of their struggle.
As they say, ‘today you may ignore me but tomorrow I will be too high for you to reach.’ In a morning, it was as if Le ZhengTian had aged 10 years. His temples were white and his complexion was a sickly haggardly yellow color.
Taking a glance at his similarly downcast son, Le ZhengTian felt sorrowful. Was the Le family really about to be ruined?
No, he couldn’t let Le family’s century long business disappear under his watch. He needed to think of a plan.
Xun family, yes. Xun family! Only by asking for generosity from Xun family will their Le family be preserved.
“Son, go tidy yourself up immediately. We’re going to the Xun house.” Le ZhengTian quickly headed upstairs. He needed to collect himself first too.
Though his father’s was set, Le ChenXi wasn’t prepared to cooperate. “I’m not going. It’s all because of XunMi that An ZiYi is now ignoring me. I don’t want to go.” In the past few days, An ZiYi has been refusing to see him.
She won’t pick up his calls and won’t respond to his texts. He felt horrible. They had been so in love, so why would ZiYi abandon him? Why would she say such things to him?
Le ZhengTian stopped in his steps, disappointingly walking to Le ChenXi. Lifting his hand, he let his palm land on his son’s face with a resounding slap. “It’s all because of that lowly An ZiYi that our family is going through all of this! Did you forget how she had abandoned us after achieving her goal? With that kind of ingratitude, you still care about her? I’m telling you, if Le family isn’t able to persevere, then you will obediently marry Xie family’s Xie Tian Tian.”
Suddenly in the past few days, Xie Tian Tian had been coming everyday to visit his son. She even said that she wanted to marry him. It didn’t matter if this was a plot by Xie family or a coincidence. This was an opportunity they couldn’t afford to miss.
Le ChenXi looked at his father in disbelief, his face filled with hurt. “Father, An ZiYi and I are truly in love with each other. You promised that you wouldn’t obstruct or break us up. How could you go back on your promise?” He didn’t understand how everything had changed. Within a few short days, everything had been flipped upside down.
Le ZhengTian completely lost hope in his son, who still wasn’t able to see reality. He really didn’t dare hand Le family to this son. Sighing, he said “What horrors did I do in my past life to deserve this? “Escort Young Master back to his room. Without my permission, don’t allow him out.”
An ZiYi was dangerous now. However, she was now a member of the Gemstone Betting Association. Le ZhengTian felt as if he had picked up a hammer and smashed it onto his own foot.
“Father, father! You can’t do this. I have my freedom!” Le ChenXi struggled as servants pulled him to his room.
Le ZhengTian didn’t weaken his resolve, and directly turned to leave.
XunMi and An ZiYi both didn’t know what was happening in Le family.
In the past few days, An ZiYi had been continuously practicing. She was determined to gain the Queen’s favor at the Royal Gemstone Betting Appraisal for the royal family tomorrow. &123;T/N: I guess it really is a true royal family.&125;
It was finally the moment that An ZiYi had been waiting for. She walked in with confidence. XunMi was also watching closely.
In the original plotline, this was the event that allowed An ZiYi to fully emerge victoriously. She had obtained the Queen’s special treatment and was named the royal family’s personal appraisal master. Her reputation spread wide afterwards, completing her perfect counterattack.
Now that XunMi was here, she definitely wouldn’t permit this to happen. She already had BaoBao secretly absorb all the stones at today’s appraisal site that had jadeite inside.
To truly fool the female lead, XunMi still had BaoBao leave just a select few so that the female lead would still feel energy currents. But that didn’t mean that the insides were necessarily jadeite.
She lazily reclined on Mo WenHan’s office sofa, fully enjoying the delicious spread of afternoon tea. Today was quite delightful. Her dear husband was by her side and, moreover, there was drama to watch.
[Warning! Warning! Main mission deemed a failure. Host will be forcibly returned to system space.]
[Warning! Warning! Main mission deemed a failure. Host will be forcibly returned to system space.] BaoBao’s voice suddenly sounded sharply, causing XunMi to jump in fright.
When she heard the contents of his message, she was angry. The main mission failed? What happened?
She looked up, hoping to say goodbye to her husband. But suddenly her sight went black as she was sucked out of the dimension.
Upon returning to the system space, XunMi was still a bit dumbfounded.
“BaoBao, what happened?” She had just promised to be together with her husband but now she’s run away.
Oh no, her lover wouldn’t blacken right? She was really worried.
BaoBao whimpered as he rushed into XunMi’s lap, howling [Madam Host, crycrycry~~~ We failed.]
XunMi sighed, “How did we fail, what went wrong?” She absolutely didn’t do anything drastically against logic. So where did this sudden failure come from?
[The Female Lead obtained the Queen’s praise. But on the way back home, Xie TianTian crushed her with a car. So Madam Host’s counterattacking main mission was a failure. The side mission to make Le ChenXi be filled with regret also failed.] BaoBao wanted to cry. It had been going so well. The promotion, the salary raise, the apex of his career was within reach when this happened.
His heart was tired, he needed a vacation.
XunMi was even more gloomy, “What is this Xie TianTian on? Why would she take action at this time?”
Didn’t she already tell Xie family that she would be personally getting revenge on An ZiYi?
[Because Xie TianTian fell for Le ChenXi, but Le ChenXi likes An ZiYi. An ZiYi had harmed Xie TianTian so in a fit of fury, Xie TianTian decided to just kill the Female Lead.] BaoBao scowled miserably as he explained.

Author’s Note: Story not yet complete. Will be continued in Ch 120. If you want to read the entire arc together, readers may skip ahead. Our XunMi needs to taste failure once so that she can give rise to some future plotlines.
Translator’s Note: Haha, I guess this arc is finished for now. I’m just going to go in chronological order and translate chapter by chapter. So everyone, you’ll have to stay tuned for Ch 120 for the true end of this arc.
