The Jealous CEO Treats Me Hypocritically Ch.1

Shu Yian is temporarily unable to accept everything that has happened to her. 

When she opened her eyes, a gorgeous crystal lamp was hanging above her head and a silky soft blanket covered her body. She wondered when her originally small and cozy wooden bed had become so large and comfortable.

She sat up on the bed, finding herself surrounded by high-end furniture and exquisite furnishings. Through the blinds on the widows, she could see a garden of lush trees and flowers. With all these clues around her, she could tell she is in a mansion of some sort. 

Then a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her head, 

 [Welcome, host, to the world of the novel you have transmigrated into. The female protagonist of this world is currently missing and the plot has become unstable. Therefore, your mission is to help the protagonist drive away all her rivals and other unknown factors in her stead until she returns.]

Shu Yian had read plenty of novels in her free time before, and so she felt no surprise that the transmigration she had read in books had actually happened to her. She has always been a calm and self-sufficient person, and so she did not panic when she heard that robotic voice. 

Instead, she asked rather calmly, “Why me?” 

The system took a long time to answer her, as if it had gone to check on something. 

 [To answer your question: because the past missions have all ended in failure. Our first host, Long Xiangxiang, fell in love with the female lead she was supposed to protect. Thus the mission was considered a failure. The second host, Ye Liangliang, fell in love with the female lead. Thus the mission was considered a failure. The third….]

“Stop.” Shu Yian interrupted, “I don’t want to listen to you recite a list of names. So, from what I understand, all of the previous hosts failed their mission because they….fell in love with the female lead, correct?”

[Correct, so this time, after using our database to perform a series of accurate and thorough calculations, we decided to select you. Someone who only focuses on doing business and someone who does need or want love. ]

“Why should I help you?” After gaining a brief understanding of the situation, Shu Yian walked straight towards a mirror. The girl staring back at her in the mirror had a face of delicate features, bright red lips, and sparkling pearly teeth. At first glance, the woman looked only pretty, nothing like a bombshell beauty, but on a closer look, she is actually a very attractive person. 

This person looked exactly like her old body, except that the skin is much better than her original skin and her hair was a little longer and very well maintained. 

Shu Yian came from an ordinary family, and had worked hard, relying on only herself for everything. She could not be comparable to the spoiled daughter of a big family in the mirror in front of her.

At this moment, the system gave her an answer that warmed her heart. 

[All of the personal wealth you acquire in this world will be transferred over when you return to your original world.]

Shu Yian was sold on the spot.

Although everyone says that success comes from your own hard work and efforts, the contacts and business opportunities that rich people have was something completely unattainable for the her back in her old world.

“Tell me the name of the book I am currently living in.”  Shu Yian has read a lot of novels. If you know the book, it is equivalent to attaining priceless knowledge and information. Then her mission will be much easier to accomplish. 

Systerm:  [The title of the book is, 《The Domineering Female President has Fallen in Love with Me》]

Three black lines appeared on Shu Yian’s forehead. 

She hasn’t read that book, but just from the name she could tell that the plot must be annoyingly cliche.

The female protagonist should probably be a silly and sweet character who is constantly making clumsy mistakes. Then the domineering President will take one look at the protagonist and say, ‘Ah, this girl is so innocent and naive, how cute…..’

To be honest, if this kind of character actually existed in the real world, a girl who spills coffee on her boss as soon as she gets to work, she would’ve been fired ages ago. This is the 21st century, alright? How could a girl who constantly messes up be favored by the boss? 

The boss’s brain must be fried to keep such an idiot subordinate around, right? 

Shu Yian was silent for a long time. 

She did not know how she should complete her mission. In a cliche novel like this one, usually the domineering President will have a generous and rational minded fiancee by their side. However, the President would always throw her smart and beautiful fiancee to chase after the silly white rabbit instead. 

Ah, she feels a headache coming just thinking about it. 

The system did not care what Shu Yian was thinking, after all, it is just a machine without emotion, and it simply continued without waiting for Shu Yian to respond. 

[Since the host has not read this novel, a mind-reading chip has been installed for your use. With this chip, you will be able to read anyone’s thoughts. After this world stabilizes again, the chip will be removed. Good luck, dear host!]

The corners of Shu Yian’s mouth twitched. 

“Alright, let’s go see what kind of tofu brain this domineering President has in her head.”

Shu Yian took off the silk pajamas on her body. At first, she wanted to change into proper clothes before going downstairs. Then she opened the closest. She couldn’t wear any of the clothes in front of her. These clothes either showed way too much cleavage or way too much of her back. They were way too sexy, and most definitely did not suit this delicate face of hers. 

She deliberated for a long time before finally choosing a white, cutout dress. This was the most ordinary looking one she could find, but it felt uncomfortable wearing it. 

The dress is almost like a silk nightgown, pressing the left side to the right, which created a deep V-neck and then tying it with a white ribbon around her waist. Although her figure looks exquisite in this dress, she must constantly stand with her back straight or else the slightest bend will easily expose her chest. 

And if she takes too big of a step forward, this cumbersome dress would reveal her entire bare leg. 

Shu Yian normally wore casual clothes and was rather unaccustomed to wearing such revealing clothes. 

Due to being forced to take short and quick steps in this dress, Shu Yian actually looked like a  rich young lady as she stepped ‘elegantly’ down the stairs. 

 As soon as she came downstairs, the housekeeping auntie greeted her with a smile: “Miss Shu.” 

【How shameless. President Su clearly doesn’t like her and yet she continues to pester our lady. Hmph, what a ‘good’ rich young lady she is! Always crying and making trouble. For shame!】

Shu Yian: “……”

She studied the housekeeper’s face. After confirming that the woman still held a smile on her face and that the woman hadn’t moved her lips, she understood that what she heard just now must be this woman’s true thoughts. 

Ah, she also learned from those thoughts that her current body is the unlucky and ‘thrown to the side’ fiancee. 

She recalled that the housekeeper had called her “Miss Shu” just now instead of simply “Miss.” That means she should be in this President Su’s mansion right now….

Shu Yian was not quite sure of her conclusion and asked a clarification sentence: “Where is President Su?” 

“President Su is currently at the company. Miss Shu, would you like something to eat?”

【The moment she wakes up she asks for President Su! Does she think everyone is at her beck and call? You parasite! You only know how to make trouble! She better not go to the company and make trouble for President Su! President Su said she has an important meeting today that she can’t mess up, so she told me I must stop Shu Yian from going to the company at all costs! But this woman is so overbearing, it will not be easy to stop her! I don’t dare to offend her either! Ah, what to do!】

As the housekeeper came to this conclusion, she quickly put on a friendly smile on her face, as if she was afraid that Shu Yian would rush over to the company immediately, and asked, “Today’s ingredients are all fresh and ready. Is there anything you will like me to make for you now?” 

This eldest young lady from a rich family cared most about the freshness of ingredients, so the housekeeper made sure to specifically mention this. Then she immediately started heading towards the kitchen, as if she was afraid she would regret it if she gave Shu Yian a chance to speak. 

“No need.” Shu Yian is not hungry. 

She walked over to the sofa and lowered herself onto the leather. She reclined lazily and sat in a comfortable position, resting her arms on the armrests. 

“What does auntie think about my engagement with President Su?” (T/N: the term ‘auntie’ is used as a generic title for an older woman here, no actual blood relation.) 

 The smile on the housekeeper’s face stiffened, but she maintained her blank expression. 

“Naturally you and President Su are a match made in heaven.” 

【A match made in heaven my ass! If it weren’t for the relationship between your grandma and old grandmother Su, why would they force President Su to get engaged with you! President Su is filial and kind! She fears that her grandma will fall ill from shock if she doesn’t comply. Otherwise, how could you become her fiancee?】

Shu Yian smiled. 

To be honest, she really didn’t like this housekeeper, but since she doesn’t know how Shu Yian treated this auntie in the past, she’ll just ignore the housekeeper’s rude remarks for now. 

She stood up from the sofa. Since President Su is not here, she will not shamelessly go to the company and find her. Instead, she will go upstairs and think about how to best use her current identity to make lots of money in this world. 

When she walked past the housekeeper, Shu Yian patted the woman’s shoulder twice while wearing a soft smile on her face. 

However, to the middle-aged woman, the smile was seen as a warning and she stiffened. 

“I like how auntie is an ‘honest’ person. I hope we can live together peacefully in the future.”

After saying that sentence, she gracefully walked back up the stairs. 

The housekeeping auntie felt a little dazed as she stood frozen in place. 

How can someone change so completely in just one night?

She had heard the rumors that Miss Shu was once a truly proper young lady, but half a year ago Miss Shu almost drowned. When Miss Shu woke up from her water-induced coma, her temperament had completely changed. Miss Shu became a domineering, arrogant, and overbearing woman. However, today….could it be….that Miss Shu has returned to her previous self? 

The housekeeper scratched her neck in thought but decided not to think too much about it in the end. These things are above her paycheck, after all. But, today, Shu Yian did call her ‘auntie’, instead of the usual ‘hey’ or ‘you’. 

She shook her head and took out a rag to start cleaning. Not her problem to worry about, she better get back to work instead. 

Meanwhile, Shu Yian was currently scrolling through the contacts on her phone. 

The phone was easily unlocked with her fingerprint, no password was required. 

She had at first wanted to call up a few close friends from the original body’s contact list to discuss business opportunities for getting rich, but there were only a few measly people listed on the screen. 

Father. Mother. Grandma. And a contact name for [My darling little Su Wen]. Such a silly nickname. This should be President Su’s number. Other than those four numbers, there were also two more contacts for her driver and an assistant. 

In other words, the original owner of this body…..has no friends! 

Just how was the original owner of this body able to survive all these years without any friends?

Su Wen is not here, therefore she cannot do anything to fulfill her mission. She had planned on going to the mall and buying some normal clothes to replace the original owner’s sexy clothes, but then she realized a sad thing. 

She doesn’t even know what the original owners’ bank account number is…..

In other words, she currently has nowhere to go and she is penniless. 

The only thing Shu Yian can do is to wait for Su Wen to return. Then she’ll see if she can borrow some money from President Su. 

She waited and waited…..for three days. 

It was quite obvious. Su Wen was hiding from her. 

After spending three days peacefully in the mansion with the housekeeper, Shu Yian asked curiously: “Is President Su really busy recently?” 

The housekeeper looked at her awkwardly, “This….President Su’s schedule is not something a part-time worker like me knows.” Although she was quite surprised that Shu Yian had obediently stayed at home without causing trouble for three days, she still couldn’t help but complain in her heart. 

【Isn’t this all because of you! That’s why President Su won’t come back home anymore! When you weren’t here, she’ll come home every day!】

Shu Yian cut her steak elegantly and gracefully. No matter, she’s not in a hurry. As a cannon fodder character, there is no need for her to rush into things impulsively and end up dying. She’ll just wait here patiently and eat all this delicious food. She didn’t believe that Su Wen could stay away for long. 

However, although she was taking things slowly, the system was not going to  allow her to relax for long. 

After learning about Shu Yian’s plans, the system immediately issued a warning: [Warning: If the host does not see the female lead for more than three days, the host will be punished.]

Displeasure arose between Shu Yian’s brows as she chewed her steak, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” 

System: [There is still about an hour left. You have plenty of time to find Su Wen.]

Shu Yian first dialed the driver’s phone number in her contacts list and asked her to pick her up. Then she dialed the ‘assistant’ phone number listed in her contacts list and asked, “Where is Su Wen?” 

A pleasant female voice said respectfully on the other side: “My apologies, Miss Shu, but I’m obligated to remind you that I’ve resigned a long time ago. However, to answer your question, if President Su is not home, then she should be at the old residence.” 

Shu Yian had chased after President Su many, many, many times before. So everyone knew that she had thrown a tantrum and forced herself into President’s Su’s house. But since she behaved terribly towards others, no one from the company was willing to help her. 

However, this assistant thought about the Shu Yian from half a year ago. For the sake of their previous friendship, she’ll help this woman one last time. 

After getting an address, Shu Yian thanked her and hung up. 

The driver hadn’t arrived yet, and since Su Wen would definitely not arrange a driver for her, this driver is sent from her own Shu family’s home. It will take a while for the driver to get here and since this mansion is in an isolated area, she couldn’t get a taxi and could only wait. 

“Is there a penalty if I fail?” Shu Yian asked the system anxiously. 

The system replied in a monotone: [The penalty is not severe. You’ll simply feel incredibly itchy all over your body. Then you’ll have to hug Su Wen and say “Little Wenwen, let me give you a hug~”. Only then will your punishment be lifted.]

 Shu Yian: “……”

Impossible, she won’t say that even if she dies! Over her dead body!

---

An hour and twenty minutes later, Shu Yian arrived at the Su family’s old residence. 

The old lady saw Shu Yian immediately and watched as the girl walked through the front door, squirming and twisting her youthful body uncomfortably. 

Su Wen was facing her grandmother and so naturally didn’t see Shu Yian standing at the front door. And so, before she could react, Shu Yian rushed over and hugged her. 

“Little Wenwen, let me give you a hug.” 

Su Wen: “………”
