After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 21

Xia Shishi’s mouth was slightly pouted, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

She felt a sharp, needle-pricking pain in her heart, so she looked at Wen Jiao with red eyes and seized the opportunity to make a demand: “I want to move into your house right now!”

As long as she moved quickly enough, Wen Jiao wouldn’t have time to prepare a separate room.

She could then naturally and logically live with Wen Jiao.

Xia Shishi thought this was an excellent idea, so she emphasized it again: “I want to live in your house! We’re already engaged anyway, and cohabitation with the goal of marriage can increase our mutual understanding. It’s settled then.”

Xia Shishi finished speaking in a hurry and ran off to find the sales assistant to order a few more things.

She left Wen Jiao sitting in the wheelchair, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

The Wen family residence.

Zheng He listened to the whole story from Wen Jiao. He slowly drank a cup of warm water in his hand, then said, “Isn’t this great? You’ve wanted to live with the little girl for a long time.”

Wen Jiao’s eyelids slowly closed, concealing the anxiety in her heart.

Zheng He saw through it: “You’re still feeling inferior.”

Although Xia Shishi was currently expressing her love for her, and she was willing to choose to believe it.

However, Wen Jiao’s physical condition was a disadvantage, and because of this, she couldn’t accept Xia Shishi’s affection with a clear conscience.

It seemed that the previous kind of relationship was more comfortable for Wen Jiao.

Zheng He couldn’t stand it.

What kind of friend was he? He possessed agile thinking and business acumen. It had only been five or six years since he took over the family business, but he had already become a leader in the industry—how powerful.

And she, who handled everything with a businesslike approach, was practically a rigid figure on the board of directors.

Such a person was only weak when it came to matters of the heart.

Wen Jiao’s thoughts drifted, and a wry smile touched her lips: “It would be fine if she didn’t want anything from me; I could do anything she asked. But now she wants something that I can’t provide.”

Zheng He clicked his tongue: “Isn’t it just cohabitation? You’re not the one losing out.”

He rubbed his chin: “From a doctor’s perspective, you can do it now, but you have to be moderate… I believe you can be moderate in everything except matters involving Xia Shishi, but when it comes to Xia Shishi, I have a feeling it might be difficult.”

Zheng He noticed something was off: “Why isn’t she here? Didn’t she say she was moving in today?”

Wen Jiao: “I told her to go back and discuss it with her parents first.”

Wen Jiao opened her eyes, not wanting to admit that her gaze was still full of anticipation.

Zheng He understood: “She’s moving in tomorrow, right?”

Wen Jiao: “…”

Zheng He: “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think her parents would refuse?”

Of course not.

Xia Mom was surprised to hear the request, but after calming down and thinking carefully, she felt it was a good decision.

“You want to intern at the company, and you want to marry Wen Jiao.” Wen Jiao’s neighborhood was excellent, mainly for her convenience when going out. If Xia Shishi really planned to intern at the company, living there would save a lot of commuting time.

Secondly, Xia Shishi and Wen Jiao could indeed get to know each other better.

Xia Shishi and Wen Jiao’s time together had been very short.

It could almost be counted starting from their engagement.

Even though she didn’t know why her daughter suddenly fell in love with her, getting to know each other better was a plus. Xia Mom was more concerned about Wen Jiao’s attitude: “Did she agree?”

Xia Shishi hesitated, unwilling to tell the truth.

Xia Mom saw through it: “She didn’t agree, you used your temper and forced her to accept.”

Xia Shishi lowered her head: “How can you say that? If I wasn’t proactive, she definitely wouldn’t let me move in.”

Xia Mom: “…The one who should be rushing is her.”

Xia Mom believed that if Xia Shishi waited a while, Wen Jiao would bring it up herself.

Just like the engagement, Wen Jiao was the one who couldn’t wait and proactively proposed the alliance between the two families.

Xia Mom believed that as long as Xia Shishi didn’t refuse, the Wen family would ask about the wedding date after a while. Some things might not be said openly, but everyone was worried about Wen Jiao’s remaining time.

Xia Mom paused, seeing that her daughter might also be worried about this and was rushing, which made the marriage less appealing.

“Maybe you should reconsider.”

As soon as Xia Mom finished speaking, Xia Shishi’s round eyes widened.

Look at what she was saying!

Reconsider? Reconsider what? Xia Shishi’s speech quickened: “But if I go to the company for an internship, I won’t have much time to spend with Jiao Jiao. I’m eager to stick to her all day now. It’s already good that I can dedicate some time to my career; you can’t expect me not to see her after work, can you!”

Xia Mom: “…It’s not like you won’t get off work.”

Xia Shishi: “But commuting back and forth takes up too much time. I estimate I’ll still stay over at her place anyway, so why not move in from the start?”

Reasonable, it was too reasonable.

Xia Mom also grew anxious: “I knew I should have let Wen Jiao come to our house.”

It wasn’t impossible.

It was just a pity that Xia Shishi’s rebirth happened just at this time, not earlier. She could only quickly pack her things and run over.

It was early the next morning.

Xia Shishi had already bought many daily necessities and tasteful decorations at the mall yesterday and had them sent to the Wen house. She didn’t need to prepare much, but she still wanted to rush over as quickly as possible.

She was afraid that if she arrived in the afternoon, Wen Jiao would have already had the room prepared.

If she arrived early enough, she could move her things into Wen Jiao’s room and achieve her small goal.

Xia Shishi didn’t even have time to put on makeup. She just curled her hair, grabbed her bag, and rushed out.

This time, she didn’t see Qi Xue at the small gate but at the main entrance.

Xia Shishi was full of resentment and wanted to bypass Qi Xue directly, but she saw a person standing next to her. The person was dressed very simply, and the expression on their face lacked confidence and showed great nervousness.

Xia Shishi remembered the few missed calls yesterday and walked over with her arms crossed, looking haughty.

“You knew you couldn’t get in, so you decided to wait by the door? Don’t you know I can call the police directly?” Xia Shishi looked at Qi Xue unceremoniously.

The words had already been made so clear; why did Qi Xue keep chasing after her?

Xia Shishi glanced at the person standing next to Qi Xue. Well, it must be Zhou Xiaojiang directing her.

Annoying.

Xia Shishi frowned. She had to be cautious about anything related to Zhou Xiaojiang. Who knew if the plot would dig another pit for her?

Xia Shishi recognized the person Qi Xue brought.

But this was the first time they had met.

This person was named Ye Murou. In the past, Xia Shishi’s school held a charity event that required students to provide one-on-one support for students in the mountainous areas and exchange letters with them.

Xia Shishi was only perfunctory at the time, writing a few letters and then dropping it, but the support continued.

The financial support did not stop until Ye Murou finished college.

Ye Murou was indeed a grateful child. After finishing school, she wanted to thank the kind person who had helped her and specially traveled to this city to find them.

The reason why Xia Shishi was only meeting her for the first time now was because, in the plot, Ye Murou found the wrong person.

At that time, Ye Murou didn’t have much money and planned to find a job while searching, so she entered the entertainment industry as a small assistant. Accidentally, she found that Zhou Xiaojiang’s handwriting was very similar to the few letters she received as a child, so she mistakenly thought Zhou Xiaojiang was the kind person who helped her.

Even though the misunderstanding was eventually resolved, Ye Murou was still won over by Zhou Xiaojiang’s personality charm.

Even in the plot, including Xia Shishi’s previous life experience.

Many netizens used Ye Murou as an example to praise Zhou Xiaojiang’s character.

Xia Shishi felt indifferent towards Ye Murou. After all, she was not short of money. Sponsoring this student from the mountainous area didn’t take any effort from her, and she had even forgotten about it herself.

Even knowing these few plot points, Xia Shishi hadn’t planned to look for Ye Murou. She was too busy looking for Wen Jiao.

And now, how did Qi Xue bring her here?

Xia Shishi’s frowning expression made her seem unapproachable and subconsciously intimidating.

Ye Murou inwardly trembled and stared stiffly at this seemingly delicate but inexplicably ill-tempered wealthy young lady.
