My Life as a Villain Character Episode 6 Recap
> My Life as a Villain Character Recap
Wange, still smelling strongly of alcohol from the previous night's events, prepared for a bath. Feng Muchen entered, offering her anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine, and informed her that he had thoughtfully changed the bathwater. Wange was surprised by his meticulousness, noticing flowers, snacks, and a bubble machine he had prepared. Meanwhile, Yun Yi advised Feng Muchen on the importance of pampering women, even warning him against making a wife angry as it would be incredibly hard to win her back.
Feng Muchen, however, dismissed the idea of pampering Wange. Soon after, Mr. Ye arrived at the villa. Yun Yi explained that Wange was bathing and Feng Muchen was eating. Mr. Ye expressed his disappointment that Feng Muchen was not by Wange's side. When Wange came downstairs, her grandfather worried about her weight loss and implied Feng Muchen was not treating her well.
Wange took the opportunity to complain about Feng Muchen asking her for living expenses and the plain meals she was forced to eat. Angered by this, Mr. Ye sternly told Feng Muchen that he should ask him for money if he had difficulties, not Wange. Feng Muchen acknowledged his mistake. Mr. Ye then handed Wange a document, revealing the shocking truth that her mother, Ye Fengyan, had not died of illness in prison but had been murdered.
He instructed Wange to discreetly investigate Ye Fengyan's last business partners, Li Yunsheng and Mr. Jackson, emphasizing the need for absolute secrecy. Wange was unsure how to proceed with only their names. Mr. Ye then playfully pretended to pass out, causing a scare before laughing and admitting it was a joke. After her grandfather departed, Wange reflected on her new mission, regretting that she had forgotten to ask him for money to fund her investigation.
Upon Feng Muchen's return, he informed Wange that he had safely escorted Mr. Ye home and settled her outstanding credit card debt. Wange had prepared a "green feast," a vegetarian meal, which Feng Muchen and Yun Yi found inedible, quickly finding excuses to leave. Ning Yuan, however, politely finished his plate, though he confessed it was quite salty.
Ning Yuan also updated Wange on the birthday party incident, revealing that the candid photos were leaked by a friend of Wanqing's, who was now under investigation. However, Ning Yuan believed that Wanqing would not intentionally sabotage her own birthday party, suggesting the friend acted independently. He also confirmed that no new clues were found at the lake where Wange had fallen.
Wange then considered her own role in the unfolding events, seeing herself as the "Little Chicken" and contemplating the "love line" between Wanqing and Chen Ye, as well as the "intrigue line" surrounding her mother's death. She wondered if Chen Ye was crucial to uncovering the conspiracy. Shortly after, Chen Ye called Wange, inviting her to a trust dinner hosted by Li Yunsheng.
Wange saw this as a prime opportunity to investigate her mother's murder but worried about disrupting Wanqing's designated "love story." As she spoke on the phone, Feng Muchen entered, prompting Wange to abruptly hang up. He questioned her about attending the event with Chen Ye, to which Wange assertively replied that it was her business. Feng Muchen then accused her of having double standards regarding public appearances.
Later, Feng Muchen received a call from Mr. Ye, who, despite Feng Muchen's earlier reluctance, insisted he accompany Wange to the dinner, citing concerns for her safety if she went alone. Feng Muchen agreed and decided to use his professional expertise as a haute couture fashion designer to help Wange select an outfit. Downstairs, Wange tried on several dresses, seeking Ning Yuan’s unhelpful opinion. Feng Muchen criticized her choices, bluntly calling her "stupid and rich" for her poor taste.
He proceeded to educate her on appropriate evening wear, suggesting elegant materials like satin and worsted textures, and low-saturation colors. He ultimately chose a dress, declaring it met his professional standards. Wange, calling him a "stinky tailor," dismissively stated she wouldn't go with him and left. Feng Muchen, exasperated, muttered about her inability to distinguish between a tailor and a haute couture designer.
Chen Ye arrived to pick up Wange for the trust dinner, complimenting her dress as a design from Ye's fashion week collection. Wange inquired if he had ever collaborated with her mother, but Chen Ye stated he had never had the opportunity. Upon entering the venue, Chen Ye quickly excused himself to greet media friends, inadvertently leaving Wange without her invitation.
Feeling adrift, Wange was delighted to run into her best friend, Su Yinyin, whom she hadn't seen in six months. Wange recalled from the novel that Su Yinyin was the sole heiress of the Su family, known for being a cool and gallant biker girl. Su Yinyin happened to have an invitation, and the two friends entered the event together. Inside, Li Yunsheng welcomed the guests and proudly unveiled a newly acquired Picasso painting.
As Wange and Su Yinyin chatted, Feng Muchen appeared, offering Wange his assistance, much to her annoyance. Li Yunsheng warmly greeted Wanqing, mentioning he had just had afternoon tea with her mother, and then acknowledged Wange. When a guest inquired about the painting's connection to Wange, Li Yunsheng invited Wange, as a "collector," to share her insights. Unfamiliar with the painting's history, Wange feigned ignorance. Li Yunsheng pressed further, reminding her it was her mother's favorite.
Realizing Li Yunsheng’s close ties to her mother, Wange made an excuse and discreetly departed. Wange realized that her mother's painting had been sold to Li Yunsheng by Shen Lingzhu. She mused that Wanqing’s pointed remarks were probably a protagonist's display of "justice." Su Yinyin then informed Wange that she was leaving and would meet her at a bar later. Wange approached the refreshment area, where she found Feng Muchen. She accused him of intentionally embarrassing her on stage.
Feng Muchen explained that he had merely intended to "avenge" her mother by revealing that the painting, a cherished family heirloom, had been reluctantly sold to Li Yunsheng due to Ye Fengyan's business difficulties. He expressed surprise that Wange was unaware of this history. Wange apologized for misunderstanding. Accepting her apology, Feng Muchen playfully demanded that she "feed him until he was full" as a reward for his help and the valuable information. Wange complied, feeding him a donut.
Later, Li Yunsheng began to pitch an investment project, promoting it as a "stable, low-risk" opportunity promising a fixed 10% annual return, allegedly backed by major banks. He strategically created a sense of urgency, implying limited availability to encourage immediate investment. Wange, recognizing the characteristics of a "passing the parcel" capital scheme, stepped forward. She openly warned the attendees about the inherent high risks and the exploitative nature of such schemes, urging everyone to "think twice" before committing their funds. Li Yunsheng, acknowledging her sharp observation, remarked that Wange, even at her young age, displayed the shrewdness of her mother, expressing his respect for her insight.
