65 The Vice President is Secretly a Sadist 17 (1/2)
When Rong Sheng and Wen Hua finally arrived, it was just about dinner time. Yin Mei had considered cooking for everyone, but why would she expend the effort when there was already an extremely skilled chef already here cooking?
But she still hadn't forgotten her plan of getting Yao Heyan hooked onto her cooking, so that she had a way to manipulate him, just like he did with sweets. Yes, Yin Mei had realized that Yao Heyan had been subtly using the carrot and stick technique, and that she fell way too easily to pastries.
It couldn't be helped though. All the pastries that Yao Heyan got her tasted way too good! This wasn't something that she could control.
That night, considering that the only one here who had an extensive experience in gaming was Yin Mei, Yin Mei decided to introduce them to all sorts of good games. Although the villa didn't have any consoles or games, the family of the staff would certainly have some.
So the butler's son brought over his gaming console to set up, providing them with a few recommended games like M*rio P*rty or something.
Yin Mei recalled the classic saying - ”Mar*o Part* destroys friendships.”
Mm, she decided to joyfully play it with her wonderful friends plus fiancé.
And she watched dumbfounded as all three of them were crushed by Wen Hua. What the f*ck. Why didn't she know that Wen Hua possessed such outstanding gaming talent? What happened to being a noob that had never touched a console in her life? Yin Mei wanted to call customer service to demand some answers, but there were none to be found.
So, she decided to ditch M*rio Part* and play another game. And another. And then after consecutive defeats, she moved on to card games. After more consecutive defeats, she decided to try games that didn't require anything.
And the result was that Wen Hua was the winner.
Even Rong Sheng and Yao Heyan couldn't help but be shocked at how she had won through sheer luck. This was unfathomable. One of the world's new seven mysteries! Was this the true power of a beloved daughter of heaven?? Was this what they meant when they said that Lady Luck was on your side!?
Yin Mei wanted to revolt.
Wasn't god just being too biased?
In the end, she went to sleep without winning a single game, while Yao Heyan and Rong Sheng had both one a single game each, in the vast number of games that they had played that night. Yin Mei could only explain it by saying Rong Sheng was the beloved son of heaven, and Yao Heyan was the only one who could compete with said son of heaven on almost equal terms.
It wasn't that Yin Mei didn't have the skill. She simply just didn't have the luck, okay?
The next few days were very peaceful. For Yin Mei, who didn't like losing, she would force the other three to compete in games every single night. Rong Sheng didn't mind, as he was also a sore loser, and Wen Hua would of course go along with most things. As for Yao Heyan, he could only smile wryly and accompany the three of them to play.
Meanwhile in the mornings, they would do all sorts of beach related activities, and even played things like beach volleyball... but because Wen Hua was pregnant, the son of the butler, who was a little bit older than them, played with them instead. For Yin Mei, she could win about one out of three times with Yao Heyan against Rong Sheng. Yin Mei blamed his protagonist halo for her loss, though she did know that Rong Sheng had quite a good amount of experience in sports and martial arts.
They would also go snorkeling, or hiking, which Wen Hua did accompany them to do, since this sort of exercise was not too hard on her body and also good for the baby.
Yin Mei felt that these relaxing days would continue, having let her guard down. It seems that Wen Hua was fine, and it wasn't like there was anyone they needed to worry about here, right?
But of course, there was no way that things would go that easily when it came to Wen Hua.
”It seems that a typhoon will be hitting us soon. We probably will have to wait for it to blow over before going back to the mainland.” Rong Sheng said, as he turned off the news that had just been reporting the course of the typhoon.
Yin Mei wanted to say something about this being the perfect opportunity for them to be killed off one by one... a summer villa and a storm, what a truly perfect combination for a mystery!
That night, Yin Mei was unable to sleep. To be more exact, she was too excited to sleep. The sound of the ran pelting the windows, the wind howling against the trees, and the sound and flashes of thunder were keeping her just as awake as the prospect of the world's genre changing from campus romance to murder mystery.
She finally got up to go get a cup of water, anticipating this to be the moment in time where she was either about to be murdered, or happened to find a dead body.
As she neared the staircase, she heard and odd thud sound, and conveniently, a bolt of lightning lit up a shadowy figure with piercing eyes at the top of the staircase, who quickly turned around and ran away without noticing Yin Mei's presence.
She couldn't tell much of their features, but they looked to be a girl, wearing a fluttery skirt that was reminiscent of the maid's uniform here.
Yin Mei: Wait, will this really turn into a murder mystery?
She quickly went to the staircase, looking down to see Wen Hua on the floor down below, wearing a pained face as she clutched her stomach.
What the f*ck! She felt she was really saying this way too often, but the situations just kept on warranting this kind of profanity from her mouth. She couldn't help but think that it can't be that Wen Hua was going to have the miscarriage right now, right?
”Help! Someone help!” Yin Mei immediately yelled out, and fumbled around looking for the light switch.
By the time she had found it and turned it on, Rong Sheng and Yao Heyan had already come out of their rooms, along with a few of the servants who lived in the rooms downstairs.
”What is it?” Yao Heyan asked in a confused manner, when he saw that Yin Mei looked completely fine.
”Somebody's dead- is not what I mean! Wen Hua looks like she's about to miscarry!” Yin Mei replied, last minute fixing her words and making Yao Heyan raise an eyebrow to that.
Hearing this, Rong Sheng's face changed slightly, as he headed in the direction that Yin Mei was pointing in to see Wen Hua collapsed at the bottom of the stairs. He immediately went down to check her condition, while ordering one of the servants to go find the doctor. But in this sort of weather, even though the doctor lived nearby, it would be dangerous to go out to look for him.
