The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy

Chapter 2 This eye candy tastes bitter! Edited

The frazzled housekeeper promptly returned back with the chief butler.

She incessantly cursed her bad luck under her breath. Why did this useless dog have to get sick on her watch??!

"Tch. Tch. Look at her, boss. Such a fake bitch. She was lying on the floor just a minute ago, all curled up in pain."

"And now she is relaxing on the couch. Useless dog. Always playing the pity card and trying to get attention".

The butler took a few glances at the semi-conscious weak-looking woman and shook his head in disappointment.

"Never mind then. Let's just get back to work. Maybe leave her alone for a while", the butler calmly replied and went back to his office.

Unlike the other staff, he had the good sense to not poke his nose unnecessarily into the matters of the rich.

Today, she might be a doormat, but come tomorrow, who knows?

After he left, the housekeeper continued grumbling and finished up cleaning the huge bedroom.

"Hmph... Even this useless thing has such a huge room and gets to live in luxury. Why am I suffering like this? Lucky bitch".

Taking one more look at the calm figure sitting poised, she grumbled some more and finally left Su Lin's room after cleaning.

After a few minutes, Su Lin woke up with a blasting headache. Her mind was racing as she processed the previous owner's memories.

Rather than calling them memories, they should be called misfortunes. This woman's entire life was one tragedy after another!

She had literally been living the life of a universal doormat. She was the type of woman, who was kind, caring and didn't hesitate to help others, even at the cost of her own needs.

Ironically, Su Lin's character was in fact, the complete opposite of Alzeira's character.

Alzeira never hesitated to fight and plundered to her heart's content anything and everything she wanted.

Their world was also like that. It was a kill or be killed environment.

So someone like Alzeira could never understand someone like Su Lin. Why put up with so much nonsense?

"What a miserable life you have led! The worlds might be different, but people's nature rarely changes, huh.."

"The strong always prey on the weak! Miss Su Lin. I am sorry your luck has been this terrible, dear."

"Now that I am here, this mighty empress will settle your debt, with a hundred-fold interest!" She chuckled.

"Rest assured and find peace in your afterlife. I will bring everybody who has wronged you down on their knees and begging for mercy. Consider this as a token of repayment."

"Now, where is this so-called computer in this house ...."

Engrossed in the brand new world, Su Lin spent hours holed up in her room and familiarizing herself with the mundane common life of an ordinary human being.

"Interesting... This world is so much different than mine."

"There is absolutely no spiritual energy here. Many of my go-to herbs are non-existent as well. This is going to be troublesome."

While she was in the midst of her research...

Gu gu gu gu ... A loud rumbling sound echoed from her stomach.

"Damn! I almost forgot. It looks like I need to regularly eat some rations in this world to upkeep my bodily energy reserves."

Su Lin slowly got out of her room and walked over to the main kitchen.

In just the small trip from her bedroom to the kitchen, several pairs of condescending eyes assaulted her with disgusting looks, that too from the housekeeping staff.

"Hmm... What is with the attitude around here?! Am I not the wife of their young master??"

From her memories, she knew that she had a husband and a mother-in-law. It was a pretty small family but they were very wealthy and one of the powerful families in the city.

Her husband was even extremely good looking and very capable!

But unfortunately, to negate all of that, he was also extremely arrogant and treated Su Lin with the utmost indifference.

The previous Su Lin had kept quiet and silently bore with all of it, the insults, the isolation, and the disrespect.

But Alzeira tolerating this environment? Hell would freeze over sooner!!

Her husband might be a star-studded eye candy, but he definitely tasted bitter and she didn't want him!!

As she was near the kitchen, a loud voice sounded near her, interrupting her thoughts, "Where are you going?"

This was the housekeeper woman who had bad-mouthed her earlier.

Su Lin's cold gaze fixated on her as she mercilessly unleashed her unbridled killing intent.

"If you dare look at me again, you will not be alive." She didn't say this out loud, but the threat was already conveyed.

The arrogant housekeeper immediately stiffened and was about to angrily retort when an unknown chill ran down her spine.

What just happened? The housekeeper was terrified.

She subconsciously shut her half-opened mouth in fear and continued her cleaning with a shocked expression.

"Now, that's how it should be." Su Lin flashed a satisfied smile and then casually walked over to the kitchen. She took out some leftovers, helping herself as she pleased.

"Heh... This meat has been cooked absolutely to perfection. Chicken wings, is it?", she was genuinely impressed with the culinary advancement in this world.

Su Lin greedily wolfed down several portions of the food. She was finally energized and headed back to her room to continue researching this new world.

....

Soon it was evening and the main bell rang, signaling the arrival of the young master, Shi Meng, the current head of the Shi family.

A young man in his early twenties was standing at the door. He looked lean and was dressed crisply in a classic black Armani suit. He had chiseled angular features and looked extremely handsome.

He dropped off his trench coat and his suitcase to the head butler and headed up to his room to freshen up.

When you look at this handsome young male with an aura exuding confidence and arrogance, you would never be able to guess that he was extremely filial.

Often times, when people interact with him, all they would get is an emotionless cold exterior and indifference. But, not to his mother.

Shi Meng had always been extremely loving and caring to his mother.

Even if she nicks her hand from a paper cut, he would immediately drop everything at hand and hurriedly come check up on her in person.

To him, his family was the most important thing and he took great care of his mother. His father had passed away when he was a child and his grandfather passed away recently.

So he pampered his mother even more than usual. Mama Meng as well equally spoilt the young master.

No matter how many housekeepers they employed, mama Meng always personally oversaw everything pertaining to the young master.

While the two doted on each other, sadly, they left their other member of the family, Su Lin, completely neglected and forgotten...

Shi Meng is not the male lead.
