After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 11

At five in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaojiang gripped the steering wheel with both hands, frowning as she looked at the traffic light ahead.

When the red light flickered and turned green, Zhou Xiaojiang slowly stepped on the gas, and the white car sped out.

In a certain coffee shop inside the mall, Qi Xue looked towards the entrance again.

Next to her left hand, which was resting on the table, lay a mobile phone. The screen was lit up, displaying the interface where she had arranged to meet Zhou Xiaojiang here.

A little while later, just as Qi Xue was starting to think Zhou Xiaojiang was going to stand her up, and her expression was gradually turning gloomy, Zhou Xiaojiang finally appeared at the doorway.

Zhou Xiaojiang was wearing sunglasses. Even though she was still only a 36th-tier celebrity, she didn’t forget to protect her privacy.

She couldn’t be discovered, and she couldn’t leave behind a bad record.

The two sat down facing each other. Zhou Xiaojiang looked at Qi Xue several times before slowly asking, “She wants to fire you?”

Qi Xue immediately became agitated: “Exactly!”

“How can she fire me? I didn’t do anything wrong,” Qi Xue’s breathing quickened, and her face was pale. She stared intently at Zhou Xiaojiang, thinking that Zhou Xiaojiang and Xia Shishi were not on the same level.

Xia Shishi was a legitimate heiress, with a monthly allowance well into seven figures.

As for Zhou Xiaojiang, even with Fu Yunhan’s help in securing a few roles, she could currently only play supporting female characters, and it would be good if she earned a few hundred thousand per month in salary.

Working for Xia Shishi or working for Zhou Xiaojiang—anyone who wasn’t stupid could make a choice!

Qi Xue looked at Zhou Xiaojiang with a stiff expression: “You were the one who said I was only saying a few bad things in front of Xia Shishi and that it would be fine. Now that something has gone wrong, what should I do?”

Zhou Xiaojiang parted her lips: “You want to betray me?”

Qi Xue sneered: “Is that even a question? As long as I sincerely admit my mistake, I can continue to work for Xia Shishi. It’s just that I don’t know what will happen to you then.”

Zhou Xiaojiang looked at Qi Xue.

She couldn’t let her go back to Xia Shishi.

Zhou Xiaojiang couldn’t openly fall out with Xia Shishi yet; Fu Yunhan wasn’t entirely reliable.

There was only one way to stop Qi Xue: offer her more benefits so that she would make a choice that was beneficial to Zhou Xiaojiang.

But five hundred thousand every month—how could Zhou Xiaojiang come up with that? Even if she made Qi Xue her assistant, what assistant was worth that much?

Zhou Xiaojiang pursed her lips and didn’t immediately try to soothe Qi Xue’s emotions. She asked, “What exactly is the situation with Xia Shishi? Didn’t you say the day before yesterday that she was still determined to call off the engagement?”

Why then did she rush to the engagement banquet yesterday and say those things?

Qi Xue’s hand trembled: “I’m also puzzled.” Not only puzzled, but Xia Shishi seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming more sober and not as easy to fool.

This caused Qi Xue to be astonished and also lose confidence. If she hadn’t been unsure, Qi Xue wouldn’t have given Zhou Xiaojiang a “chance.”

Xia Shishi might really not want her anymore.

Qi Xue’s eyes were trembling wildly: “She must be crazy. Of all people to marry, why marry Wen Jiao?”

Qi Xue also looked down on a disabled woman, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to Zhou Xiaojiang so easily, because she thought it was a trivial matter.

Speaking of which, her advising Xia Shishi could be considered for her own good. Qi Xue didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

Xia Shishi was the one who was crazy, that’s right! She was the one who was crazy!

Qi Xue bit her teeth fiercely, her fingers gripping the glass tabletop, and a feeling of resentment gradually appeared on her face.

Zhou Xiaojiang couldn’t help but turn her head, not wanting to look at Qi Xue, and pondered inwardly.

Even Qi Xue couldn’t find the reason, so what else could it be?

How should she interact with Xia Shishi going forward so as not to make a mistake?

Zhou Xiaojiang’s gaze drifted, and she suddenly noticed Xia Shishi taking a selfie outside. She was alone and smiling happily at the camera.

“Click.”

“Click, click, click—”

Xia Shishi took more than a dozen photos in one go, using different angles and hand gestures for each one. Only when she felt she had taken enough did she stop and carefully select the best ones.

This one won’t do, not good enough. This one has too sharp a chin, a bit fake… This one is good, and this one too.

After selecting three satisfactory photos, Xia Shishi stopped taking pictures.

She sent all three photos to Wen Jiao, along with a line of text.

“Reporting to my wife, I’m at the mall now~”

After the message was sent, Xia Shishi laughed out loud, and then she crossed her arms unhappily, not really wanting to come alone.

She actually wanted to bring Wen Jiao with her.

The original itinerary was to see Jiao Jiao in the morning, and after lunch, push Jiao Jiao out for a change of scene (crossed out) to show affection.

However, Jiao Jiao wasn’t in good health and needed a physical check-up. Xia Shishi couldn’t just throw a tantrum, so she could only bring her bag to the mall alone, still planning to buy Wen Jiao a gift according to the original plan.

Her darling had given her so many things. When Xia Shishi tidied up her room yesterday, she felt both joy and guilt.

She also had to fill Wen Jiao’s room, so it was full of gifts she had given to Jiao Jiao.

She swore she would be good to Wen Jiao, and naturally, she had to start with every little detail.

She wanted Wen Jiao’s surroundings to be full of her scent, so she could know her whereabouts at all times, and even when she wasn’t there, Wen Jiao could easily pick up the things she had given her.

Clothes, shoes, bags—whether Wen Jiao liked them or not, these were essentials, and Xia Shishi had to give them!

And she had to make Wen Jiao wear them all the time!

Xia Shishi rested her hand on her chin, wondering if Wen Jiao would reply to her message.

She waited for a long time, but there was no reply.

Well, she wouldn’t mind.

In this current relationship, Xia Shishi was full of guilt, so she became even more accommodating.

Just as she put her phone into her bag, she ran into Zhou Xiaojiang, who was walking towards her from not far away.

Xia Shishi: “…”

Zhou Xiaojiang seemed to have just happened upon Xia Shishi. Her expression was delighted, and she took the initiative to greet her: “Shishi, are you out shopping?”

Xia Shishi raised an eyebrow: “You’re out shopping too?”

Xia Shishi glanced around, not seeing any sign of Fu Yunhan, nor the male antagonists two, three, or four from the plot, nor the female supporting characters… oh, she was one.

What a pain, Xia Shishi complained internally.

She couldn’t quite smile when she saw Zhou Xiaojiang now, especially when she thought of the scene in the old factory, which made her mood even more irritable.

She wanted to provoke, pick a fight, humiliate the other person, and drive her away.

Thinking of this, Xia Shishi frowned slightly, a little unsure if the plot was still having an effect.

Zhou Xiaojiang was briefly flustered when Xia Shishi looked around, but she quickly returned to normal. She continued to look at Xia Shishi with a smile: “I was meeting a friend here, and I just happened to see you. Why are you alone? Do you want me to accompany you?”

Xia Shishi looked at her quietly.

She curved her lips: “Alright.”

Qi Xue could be easily fired, but she would definitely run into Zhou Xiaojiang again and again; she couldn’t be driven away.

Since that was the case, she would change the way she interacted with her.

Xia Shishi smiled slightly: “I was just planning to buy a gift for Jiao Jiao, and I don’t know what to get. It would give me more peace of mind to have someone else to consult.”

“After all, you know that Jiao Jiao’s clothes, food, and daily essentials are all high-spec. I’m just afraid I might accidentally buy the wrong thing.”

Xia Shishi watched with satisfaction as Zhou Xiaojiang’s expression fractured.

Since, in the plot, none of you want me to marry Jiao Jiao.

Then I’ll use a different way to spite you. I’ll show off until you die; let’s see who gets the last laugh.
