The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 356: Chapter 164 Torturing the Female Lead’s Aunt (Part 2)

What a mix of intimidation and temptation, with both carrot and stick.

He Tiantian rubbed her brow, finding the body she had transmigrated into tired.

Tired in both body and spirit, utterly exhausted!

As she massaged her forehead, He Tiantian stealthily scanned her surroundings.

Hmm, this was an elegantly ancient-style tearoom, with a Treasure Pavilion inside. The compartments of the pavilion were filled with various antique-style porcelain and ornaments.

At the center was a tea table, behind which a pretty young girl in Hanfu demonstrated a tea ceremony.

He Tiantian sat across from a sharply dressed man, positioned right in the middle of the room, as guests.

”Please enjoy your tea!”

After finishing her tea ceremony performance, the traditional beauty placed a delicate tea cup in front of He Tiantian.

”Thank you,” He Tiantian murmured out of habit, picked up the tea cup, and took a gentle sip.

It was slightly bitter, but it left a subtle, fragrant aftertaste.

”This is Mingqian Longjing Tea. Chairman Leng enjoys tea, so President Leng specifically instructed someone to purchase it at a high price.”

The elite man also picked up his tea cup, took a sip with practiced ease, and savored it with an air of enjoyment, praising it, ”It’s true that top-grade Longjing Tea combined with mountain spring water tastes extraordinary.”

Pretentious elegance!

No particular reason, but upon viewing this thirty-something corporate elite, that idiom suddenly popped into He Tiantian’s mind.

”It is indeed very nice, but I’m not much of a tea connoisseur, so I can’t really tell its quality!”

He Tiantian’s lips curved slightly upwards. She hadn’t accepted the plot yet, nor had she merged with the original host’s memories.

But she was experienced, after all.

The roles she managed to get in scripts were either top-grade or villainous; there were basically no normal characters.

Even if she wore tailor-made professional suits, even if her wrist was adorned with an exquisite and expensive ladies’ diamond watch, even if the bag beside her was one from a brand that required a waitlist, He Tiantian determined that the body she transmigrated into must possess some indescribable ”bizarre attributes.”

Sure enough, upon hearing He Tiantian’s less than enthusiastic response, the elite man didn’t show any signs of dissatisfaction, but a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.

Eldest Miss of the He family, even after marrying and taking over the family business, appeared to be a strong woman on the surface, but was actually still a selfish and capricious top-grade person inside.

He Tiantian: ...Although I can’t read minds, I’m observant of people’s words and expressions.

This guy is definitely ridiculing ”me” in his mind!

”President He, please carefully consider what I have said!”

”President Leng’s schedule is tight, he will be going abroad for a business negotiation in three days, and he hopes to fulfill a personal wish before leaving the country!”

What a refined scoundrel, oh no, a top corporate executive, said with a smile on his face, yet the words he spoke were full of threatening implications.

That sense of urgency defined by the world was crystal clear—it’s just three days, and they hoped for a prompt decision.

He Tiantian did not speak, but still intentionally made a face of chagrin and anger.

Anger, yet because of certain constraints, unable to do anything but endure.

The conflict, the frustration, He Tiantian captured it just right.

”Tiantian, I think you should consider acting in that Director Feng’s movie when you get back to reality!”

Student Xiao D was absolutely in awe of his little buddy.

Look at that acting skill—heck, calling it explosive wouldn’t be an overstatement.

Of course, what’s even cooler is He Tiantian’s ”comprehension ability”—

Without a script in hand, without merged memories, yet based on the current environment and the man’s attitude toward herself, she made some deductions and responded accordingly.

Although it’s not 100% in line with the script’s character, she didn’t falter in her role either.

Observing and speculating thus, with an incredibly natural and fluid reaction, she was undoubtedly big-league material.

And in the depths of Xiao D’s heart, He Tiantian was already regarded as a true heavyweight.

”President He, I have other matters, so I will take my leave first.”

”This pot of tea is really exquisite; please enjoy it at your leisure!”

The young man elegantly rose to his feet, gave He Tiantian a slight bow, and gracefully left.

He Tiantian squeezed out a phrase through clenched teeth, ”Take care!”

Upon hearing He Tiantian’s clearly unwilling yet cautious response, the young corporate elite didn’t pause for a moment and just headed straight out of the tearoom.

Arrogant, presumptuous, outwardly polite, but inwardly dismissive of everything.

Having such audacity implies a high status in his own right, or a very powerful backer behind him.
