After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 125: This is Shen Youyou’s Mom?!
And when Jiang Xi saw Bo Jingmo standing there, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
Wu Bei followed her gaze and asked, “You know him?”
Jiang Xi pressed her lips together and replied, “We used to team up in a newbie instance.”
Wu Bei had heard about Bo Jingmo from others, and upon hearing this, surprise flickered in his eyes—he didn’t expect to meet the real person so soon.
A newcomer with great power, but also very dangerous…
He couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
“So, are you going to say hi?” Wu Bei said, “My role here doesn’t make it easy to talk to him.”
After all, his identity was just Shen Youyou’s pursuer, while Bo Jingmo was the official boyfriend.
Jiang Xi shook her head. “No need. Maybe later, if there’s a chance.”
Mainly because she wouldn’t know what to say.
She and Bo Jingmo weren’t teammates anymore.
Before long, a man who looked like a butler walked up. He gave them a gentle smile, his voice warm and elegant.
“Good morning, everyone. I’m the steward of the manor. My surname is Wang, you can call me Steward Wang. Miss Shen specifically instructed me to take good care of you. However, she’s still unwell and can’t greet you personally. Please forgive her.”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation, with a flawless smile on his face.
“However, our Master and Madam are already waiting for you in the dining room.”
【I’m here hahaha!】
【What is this, what is this? A horror manor? Oooh spooky!】
【So many familiar faces—Wu Bei and… holy sh*t, is that Mu Chengsi?! She used a skill already? And both of them are here??】
【Guys, I’ve figured it out… Jiang Xi joined peace. Didn’t you see Wu Bei standing next to her? Clearly here to help her clear the instance.】
【Okay yeah, looks like it. Last time I saw Cen Xiu clearing an instance with them—maybe he pulled them into the team.】
【Then why is Mu Chengsi here?? I thought Yi Xian already brought her in? She might be part of deva now.】

【What about Bo Jingmo? Maybe he joined deva too.】
【Two intermediate players in one round, 666, is this going to be a speedrun?】
【Hard to say. This is a roleplay instance—each player has a different character. You’ve got to finish the mission without breaking character. Hmm… gonna be tricky.】
【Totally. I’ve seen this kind of instance before. Some players have awkward identities—like they’re supposed to kill the protagonist, but the mission requires saving them. Hahaha.】
【That’s nothing. I saw an even more dramatic one where a player’s character was the NPC’s lover but had to personally kill them in the end. Brutal. Hahaha.】
【……】
【……】
【……Hey, upstairs, is this your first time watching Bo Jingmo’s instance? He’s a pro at this stuff.】
【Huh??】
【Bro above, you must be clueless. Lemme educate you—that super handsome guy, see him? He’s basically the wife-killer specialist.】
【Don’t put it like that. I was lucky enough to catch the last instance—he got killed by a hot NPC. Hehe~】
【Point is, never ship him with anyone. It’s guaranteed to end badly.】
【That bad? But I saw in the character intro… he’s Shen Youyou’s boyfriend…】
【It’s always like this. They just said it earlier this time. Chill~】
【I’ve already predicted the plot. Either he saves the girlfriend, or the girlfriend turns into a ghost and kills him. No ship is strong enough to shake this dead lake of a heart.】
【That CP came out fast. I was still wondering which NPC Bo Jingmo would ship with. Guess that mystery’s solved.】
The group followed the steward through several corridors and arrived at the dining room. A male attendant opened the door for them, revealing a grand and resplendent hall.
Servants stood by the door, and as they entered, bowed and greeted, “Good morning, sir/ma’am.”
Inside was a long rectangular table covered with a white lace cloth. On it were intricately carved vases, fresh flowers dewy as if freshly picked, and a wide array of colorful, delicious-looking food.
It felt like they had stepped into a Central European palace, attending a noble family’s banquet.
Seated at the main spot in the middle of the table was an elderly man with snow-white hair, smiling as he looked at them. “You must be my daughter’s classmates. Please, sit, sit. The journey must’ve been tiring.”
The group looked at each other and hesitantly took their seats.
The old man chuckled and was just about to speak when his face suddenly changed. He turned away and let out a painful coughing fit. “Cough cough cough—”
A nearby servant quickly stepped up to help him breathe and handed him a handkerchief.
The old man’s face grew paler, a strange black aura faintly showing between his brows. His lips were slightly purple, and the deep wrinkles on his face looked like the bark of an ancient tree—loose and cracked—making his smile even eerier.
He covered his mouth with the handkerchief, gave Jiang Xi and the others an apologetic smile, and said in a hoarse voice, “Sorry, sorry. I’m getting old, and my health’s been deteriorating.”
He picked up his water glass and took a sip before continuing, “I’m Shen Youyou’s father. You can call me Uncle Shen.”
“……”
Looking at an NPC who looked old enough to be their grandpa, the group of players fell silent.
Shen Youyou’s dad… was really old.
Master Shen seemed oblivious to their silence and continued politely, “Youyou’s not feeling well lately and can’t meet guests. But she specially told me to treat you all well. Originally, her mom was supposed to be here too, but she might’ve caught something. She’s feeling under the weather too, hope you understand.”
Steward Wang, standing by, quickly lowered his head and respectfully replied, “Master, Mary said Madam is already up and will be here soon.”
Master Shen looked surprised. “Oh? Didn’t she say she was very tired and wanted to rest a bit more?”
Before Steward Wang could answer, a woman’s charming laugh rang out from the doorway. “Master, really, do you have to put it like that? You’re making me look bad.”
The grand doors opened, and a slender, graceful figure walked into the room.
She wore a purple silk gown, the hem trailing lightly over her feet, revealing a glimpse of black high heels. A black fox-fur shawl was draped casually over her arms. Her fair wrist was adorned with a golden bracelet and a translucent jade bangle, highlighting her delicate skin.
Her jet-black, waterfall-like hair flowed down her back, her demeanor lazy and elegant. A black veil hung from her hat, covering most of her face—only her curved red lips peeked through.
“I may be unwell, but these are Youyou’s classmates. Wouldn’t it be rude if I didn’t show up?”
The maid behind her remained cold and composed, quietly closing the sun umbrella and standing aside with her gaze lowered.
And upon seeing the woman who had just arrived, all the players were stunned.
This was…
Shen Youyou’s mom??!
