Villain Subdues the Toxic Villainess At the Start - Chapter 91:
Chapter 91: The Protagonist Is Awesome:
Xu Qin spoke at length, and Shen Weiwei understood clearly.
That woman was jealous. She had seen Shen Weiwei rise up by clinging to someone powerful and now wanted a share of that success. She hoped Shen Weiwei would use her connection with Lu Yu to help her get a taste of luxury too.
To be honest, Shen Weiwei didn’t want to help. But when she remembered that Xu Qin held something against her, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Of course, she didn’t promise success—only that she would try.
That was enough for Xu Qin. As the saying goes, once you cross the line once, it’s easier to cross it again.
It was now September.
During this time, Qin Sisi had already applied for graduate school and was focused entirely on studying. She didn’t even message Lu Yu as often anymore.
With her attention elsewhere, Lu Yu would occasionally call Shen Weiwei out, book a hotel room, and have a “conversation about life.”
At first, Shen Weiwei resisted.
But Lu Yu kept persuading her, saying she was already involved with him anyway, and that her divorce from Su Hao was inevitable. He told her it would be smarter to follow him and gain more from it.
Eventually, Shen Weiwei gave in.
Then came the second time, the third, the fourth…
Before she knew it, she realized—she might actually be falling in love with Lu Yu.
He wasn’t just kind to her—he was good to her family too. He paid for her daughter Tongtong’s surgery and even bought her a bunch of stuffed animals she liked.
Most importantly, he genuinely cared.
He would check if she’d eaten and have someone deliver food if she hadn’t.
She remembered one stormy night when she worked overtime and didn’t know if she should splurge on a cab. Just as she hesitated, she found Lu Yu’s car waiting for her outside the office.
Even though he ended up taking her to a hotel that night, she still couldn’t deny—
Lu Yu was a hundred times better than Su Hao.
Maybe… this was what people meant by “falling in love over time.”
Snuggled in Lu Yu’s arms in Room 8088, Shen Weiwei thought about this quietly.
At the same time, in a small rental apartment in Rongcheng—a place Shen Weiwei once visited daily—a man who had passed out drunk suddenly opened his eyes.
“Where… am I?” he mumbled.
No one answered.
He spotted a red plastic bucket nearby and walked over, scooping out some cold water to drink. He took a few gulps and finally felt a bit more awake.
When he looked at himself in the mirror, he froze.
The man staring back had messy hair, a worn-out T-shirt, and tattered suit pants. His face looked haggard and thin—like he had suffered long-term malnutrition.
Su Hao’s hands trembled. He touched his face.
It felt so real.
“Who is this? This… isn’t me!”
Suddenly, a sharp pain surged through his head, and his frail body nearly collapsed from the shock.
He dropped to his knees, gasping for breath as fragmented memories flooded his mind.
Su Hao, 26 years old. Junior high school education. Married for three years.
His wife’s name: Shen Weiwei.
They had adopted a little girl two years ago. Tongtong was now over four years old.
He was unemployed, aimless, addicted to gambling, and constantly fighting.
He had lost all their savings for a new home—and because of that, Shen Weiwei refused to sleep with him.
She hoped the rejection would push him to quit gambling and find proper work.
He did manage to land a factory job briefly, but after a few days, he fell in with a bad crowd. They taught him how to gamble, drink, solicit prostitutes… all the vices.
After being fired, he spiraled. Drinking, gambling, visiting karaoke bars, picking up women—he did it all.
When things didn’t go his way, he lashed out at Shen Weiwei. He even hit her.
How could a woman love a man like that?
But Shen Weiwei had listened to some older women who told her, “Have a child. Men will change for their children.”
The tragedy was—Su Hao never did.
Yet now, things were different.
Because Su Hao wasn’t just Su Hao anymore.
His eyes widened in front of the mirror.
On the wall behind him was a calendar.
September 27, 2009.
“I’ve… been reborn?”
Yes.
Just like Bai Qingzhi, Su Hao had been reborn.
But while Bai Qingzhi had returned to this time from an earlier point in life, Su Hao came back from the future—2022.
He had once been a successful man. At forty-five years old, he had graduated from a top university, served as chairman of two listed companies, and had a net worth exceeding ten billion.
He had never been married.
Now, with all those memories intact, he stood inside the body of his twenty-six-year-old self—the useless, gambling, wife-abusing version of Su Hao.
And he was horrified.
But he also saw a chance. A second chance.
This time, he wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
A few months after that, Shen Weiwei adopted a two-year-old girl, hoping it would change Su Hao.
But Su Hao didn’t improve much.
Shen Weiwei had actually considered divorce, but at that time, the internet wasn’t as developed, and divorce wasn’t taken lightly. It was a big deal. Coupled with her traditional character, she kept dragging it out.
“Phew…”
After fully absorbing all the memories, Su Hao let out a deep breath.
“What an idiot… You’ve got such a beautiful wife, and yet you’re out chasing other women?” he muttered, annoyed at the foolishness of his past self.
In his previous life, Su Hao had been so focused on building his business empire that he had no time for a family. Sure, he had women around him, but he never had a real home.
Now, thinking about how Shen Weiwei—so beautiful and kind—had stayed by his side and tried so hard to help him change, something stirred in his heart.
At the same time, he couldn’t help cursing his former self again.
“Even if I used to be a loser and a total jerk… that ends now.”
A confident smile crept across his lips.
He was someone who had built a fortune of over ten billion from scratch. Compared to most people, his business skills were on another level.
Even though he had been reborn and was starting from nothing again, making money—especially enough to take care of his family—would be easy.
“Alright, let’s earn some money first… and then win Shen Weiwei back.”
With a goal in mind, Su Hao began his journey back to the top.
He had no magical cheat codes, no superpowers, just the memories and experience from his past life. That was already more than enough.
Sure, he didn’t remember exact lottery numbers, but he remembered plenty of important things.
The ten thousand yuan Lu Yu had given him before was already spent. He had just ten yuan left.
But that didn’t matter.
With his incredible memory, he managed to borrow two hundred yuan from a few old friends the next morning.
He only ate two steamed buns for lunch.
That afternoon, he went to the Lotus Pond Wholesale Market and bought a batch of flashing LED balloons.
Thanks to his silver tongue, he bargained the original three-yuan price down to two yuan per balloon.
Then, carrying the balloons, he walked nearly ten kilometers to Tiannan Square.
He remembered clearly that a night market fair would be set up there that evening, and many parents would bring their children.
He sold each balloon for ten yuan.
They sold out quickly—demand far exceeded supply.
In no time, his two hundred yuan turned into one thousand.
Knowing the importance of eating well, he treated himself to a fifty-yuan meal as a small reward.
The next morning, with 950 yuan left, he went straight to Chengnan Vegetable Market. Using his past life’s memory, he bought all the wild eels available.
These eels were mainly sold to restaurants, and since most vendors didn’t stock too much without advance orders, he bought forty-seven kilograms at twenty yuan per kilogram.
There were still a few kilos left that he couldn’t afford.
Su Hao hesitated for a moment, then handed over his phone—a decent model from the brand Motorola—and told the vendor he’d use it as collateral and come back tomorrow to pay.
The phone was worth more than the remaining eels, and it was in great condition, so the seller agreed.
That same day, a hotel in the southern district was holding a last-minute banquet—ten full tables of guests.
Because the preparations were rushed, by the time the kitchen started serving food, they discovered they didn’t have enough eel for one of the dishes.
That’s when Su Hao arrived.
He sold the eel for sixty yuan per kilo, up from the original twenty. The hotel was in such a hurry, they didn’t even haggle and bought everything immediately.
He also included the extra few kilos he’d gotten with his phone.
So, in one move, twenty yuan became sixty.
His 900 yuan investment turned into 3,000 in one day.
The next day, Su Hao redeemed his phone and took the remaining 3,000 yuan to Wenqing Palace to hunt for valuable antiques.
With his sharp eyes and knowledge from his past life, he quickly turned that 3,000 into 30,000.
Then, with those 30,000 yuan, he went to an ordinary auction and bought a painting.
On the surface, it was a fake.
But hidden underneath the outer layer was a genuine work of art.
When he sold it, the value jumped from 30,000 to 500,000.
No need to say it again—this was the power of a reborn protagonist.
In less than a week, 200 yuan became 500,000.
Now tell me—how’s that for awesome?
