Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart

Chapter 137

["Your vacation has ended, and the next one is about to begin..."]

Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted the system's direct transmission, smiling as she asked, "How well did I complete my task?"

After a series of abnormal worlds and unexpected events, the system finally determined that Jiang Yan was no ordinary person.

But after observing silently from behind for so long, it had learned to think outside the box and become more cautious.

It nonchalantly replied, "The task was completed very well."

"Very well, indeed," Jiang Yan smiled upon hearing this, then asked with feigned curiosity, "So when will the punishment end?"

The system buzzed and crackled for a moment before vaguely answering, "Soon."

Jiang Yan also felt it would be soon, judging from the system's lack of confidence in its response.

The system had never been able to do anything to her, only place her in this virtual world, attempting to make her accept her fate through predetermined storylines. While the tasks were said to have been successfully completed one after another, in reality, she had never suffered any harm.

Surely the system could see through this.

Given the current situation, it could only mean that the system had discovered this but was powerless to do anything about it, merely struggling in its dying throes.

...

Several Lexus cars—unremarkable in appearance but worth over a million—parked in an orderly fashion in front of the manor gates.

Servants waiting at the manor stepped forward to open the car doors. Subsequently, young men dressed in exquisite and expensive suits emerged from the vehicles one by one.

They were either tall and strong, handsome and delicate, or refined and dignified. Their only common feature was excellence: outstanding looks, superior physiques, exceptional talents, and even their manners and comportment adhered to a certain standard.

For they were all young masters from prominent families, here to compete for the position of butler to the Tan Family's young miss.

It was said that the Tan Family's status was supreme among the elite, and this was evident here.

To curry favor with the Tan Family, these families had sent their heirs, cultivated for many years, to serve as butlers for the Tan Family's blind young miss.

The dozen or so young masters who had now arrived at the manor were already the cream of the crop, having passed through layers of selection. Only the final round of the butler selection remained.

The young masters were guided by the servants inside, walking into the luxurious Rose Manor built on this prime real estate.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan had just adapted to her blind body.

She wore a soft dress made of extremely comfortable fabric. A servant had braided her hair, and another gently held her hand, leading her towards the great hall.

[Mission: Detain butler Lu Tu in the manor for ten years.]

Plot: Lu Tu comes from a small family dependent on the Tan Family. He works hard and strives diligently to inherit his family business and realize his ambitions.

Unexpectedly, the evil female supporting character Jiang Yan mistakenly chooses Lu Tu as her butler, putting an end to Lu Tu's long-held aspirations. Moreover, Jiang Yan is temperamental and unpredictable due to her blindness, often beating and scolding Lu Tu.

Lu Tu endures for ten years, biding his time while focusing on his career. Finally, after a decade, he achieves great status and success, freeing himself from Jiang Yan's control.

...

Being a butler for the Tan Family's young miss was like being a prince consort to a princess in ancient times—a title empty of any real power or status.

Although the Tan Family was wealthy and influential, anyone with ambition wouldn't be content with becoming someone else's butler. At least, Lu Tu wasn't.

He and his father had already planned for him to deliberately fail the selection and return home to inherit the family business. Thus, he had been performing averagely throughout, waiting to make a mistake in the final round and be eliminated. This way, he wouldn't stand out while still appearing to have tried his best.

However, he still didn't know what this final round would entail.

Lu Tu walked towards the great hall with the crowd, feeling bored when he suddenly noticed a familiar face beside him.

Lu Tu nudged the person with his elbow but said nothing.

But someone with the same intentions didn't need to guess to understand. Lin Muqian nodded vigorously, indicating that he was also prepared to be eliminated.

As the only son of the Lin Family, they naturally weren't willing to let him become a butler for the young miss.

The two were of one mind. Lu Tu discreetly fell to the back of the group along with Lin Muqian.

"I've heard that the Tan Family's young miss has a difficult personality, a fiery temper, and is hard to get along with," Lin Muqian whispered.

"She's just taking advantage of her status, treated like a precious treasure and spoiled rotten," Lu Tu replied, his face serious but his tone indifferent.

As the two were talking and about to turn a corner, several servants suddenly appeared in the opposite corridor. The servants were gathered around, escorting someone as they walked over.

Upon seeing these visitors, the servants neatly arranged themselves behind, presenting an impeccable image.

Lin Muqian and Lu Tu were standing at the corner when they saw the Tan Family's young miss they had just been discussing: black hair, white dress, a beautiful face, with unseeing eyes like a tranquil ink painting, and skin pale from long absence of sunlight.

Words failed to describe her adequately, but she appeared small, fragile, and delicate like a little white flower, nothing like the rumors suggested...

The servants followed behind, those closest to her watching her steps carefully, fearing she might stumble or go the wrong way. As such, they failed to notice Lu Tu at the corner. Mainly because they hadn't expected anyone to stand there without moving aside.

Lin Muqian had stepped back, and when he realized Lu Tu wasn't moving, he tried to pull him back, but to no avail.

Lu Tu stood there as if rooted to the spot, facing the direction from which the Tan Family's young miss was approaching.
