After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 22

Would she really be the kind-hearted person he was looking for?

She looked a bit like a villainess.

A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Murou’s dark eyes. She didn’t dare to approach to speak, so she could only tug at Qi Xue’s sleeve.

Qi Xue had been given a strict order by Fu Yunhan. After racking her brains, she finally remembered this person.

She knew perhaps more about Xia Shishi’s sponsorship of students in the mountain area than Xia Shishi herself. After thinking all night, Qi Xue decided to bring Ye Murou over, believing that Xia Shishi would definitely be interested!

“Shishi, do you still remember this person?” Qi Xue showed a flattering smile.

It had been a long time since she had smiled at anyone like this. After a day of ‘training’ under Fu Yunhan, she had become quite adept at it.

Xia Shishi furrowed her brows: “I don’t know her.”

As expected, Qi Xue smiled and said: “Of course you don’t remember, she is Ye Murou. You’ve been having someone transfer money to her to help her finish university.”

Xia Shishi let out a long “Oh”: “Is that so? So, you brought her over now because you want to make amends or something?”

Xia Shishi acted as if she wasn’t interested in Ye Murou.

But she didn’t seem to have completely forgotten, either.

Ye Murou noticed that Xia Shishi hadn’t denied it. She felt a little nervous, and almost mustered all her courage to speak: “Thank you for sponsoring me for so many years. I’ve always written you letters, but I still wanted to thank you in person.”

Xia Shishi looked at her: “I never received your letters.”

She really hadn’t received any.

Otherwise, she would have definitely written back to tell Ye Murou to stop writing—it was troublesome.

Ye Murou paused. Qi Xue quickly explained: “They might have gotten lost. Miss, you can’t read every letter that comes in, right?”

Is that how it was?

Ye Murou was skeptical. Xia Shishi almost burst out laughing.

“Forget about that for now, Qi Xue. I told you I don’t want to see you.” If Qi Xue hadn’t brought Ye Murou this time, Xia Shishi really would have called the police.

“And you,” Xia Shishi said to Ye Murou, “I’ve received your thanks. Since you’ve finished university, find a decent job as soon as possible, so you don’t waste the opportunity to study.”

Xia Shishi was subtly warning Ye Murou not to work as a small assistant in the entertainment industry.

It was a few thousand yuan salary per month and she was exhausted from the hard work. She was capable enough to find a reliable job.

After saying this, Xia Shishi picked up her bag, intending to drive over to Wen Jiao’s place.

Of course, Qi Xue couldn’t let Xia Shishi leave. Her purpose in bringing Ye Murou here wasn’t to introduce the two of them to each other, but to take Xia Shishi to Fu Yunhan!

She rushed forward and grabbed Xia Shishi’s arm, only to be slapped away instantly by Xia Shishi.

Seriously, even Wen Jiao hadn’t touched her, so why was Qi Xue touching her!

Xia Shishi sprang away like an irritated hedgehog: “Qi Xue, if you have anything else, say it quickly, and don’t bother me again in the future! You won’t be able to find a scapegoat every time!”

Qi Xue had just acted impulsively, trying to seize the opportunity.

“I won’t disturb you again. I really just came this time to introduce Ye Murou to you,” Qi Xue’s slapped hand was stinging hot. Xia Shishi really hadn’t held back.

Qi Xue persisted, biting the bullet: “And… Young Master Fu wants to see you.”

Xia Shishi sneered: “Young Master Fu? There are so many people with the surname Fu in the world. How should I know which one?”

Qi Xue was confused: “It’s Fu Yunhan.”

Xia Shishi and Fu Yunhan had known each other for years.

They could be called childhood sweethearts.

Their relationship had always been very good. Fu Yunhan’s mother had even joked with Xia’s mother, saying how great it would be if they could become in-laws.

How could Xia Shishi not only fall for Wen Jiao but also forget Fu Yunhan in the blink of an eye?

Could Xia Shishi really be possessed?

Xia Shishi clapped her hands: “Why didn’t you just say his name earlier? If he wants to see me, why doesn’t he come himself? Why does he have to call you?”

After speaking, Xia Shishi gave Qi Xue a meaningful look.

“You found a new job so quickly.”

After clapping her hands, Xia Shishi suddenly remembered that Fu Yunhan seemed to have called her.

At the time, she was only focused on blocking Qi Xue and then going shopping with Wen Jiao, so she had completely forgotten about Fu Yunhan.

Xia Shishi really didn’t dare to block Fu Yunhan casually.

She believed in the saying, “know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.” Since she planned to continue maintaining her “friendship” with Zhou Xiaojiang, keeping Fu Yunhan wasn’t a big deal.

Maybe she could even hear some gossip and turn around and sell it to Wen Jiao.

To be a competent double agent.

“Fine, I’ll go see him. You hurry back and report to your young master,” Xia Shishi said cheerfully. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to look at Ye Murou one last time, using her eyes to remind her.

Following Zhou Xiaojiang had no future.

Zhou Xiaojiang would get all the glory, and Ye Murou would just be a small assistant. It would be better to find a job with social insurance and work honestly.

Xia Shishi arrived at the Wen family’s house.

As soon as she entered, she was eager to see Uncle Zhang: “The room hasn’t been completely cleaned up, has it?”

Wen Jiao had asked Uncle Zhang to prepare the new room when she returned yesterday, but Uncle Zhang was a cautious man: “I just had the servants clean the room. I thought I would see how Miss Xia wanted to arrange it before moving the furniture in. What do you think, Miss Xia?”

Xia Shishi admired him: “You’re smart.”

“As one of the future mistresses… I think highly of you, Uncle Zhang!” Xia Shishi was extremely happy. She had been worried that the servants would be too efficient, making it hard for her to find an excuse.

Now there was still room for maneuver. Xia Shishi tidied herself up, raised her head, and ran off to find Wen Jiao like a proud little peacock.

Wen Jiao was having an online meeting. The sound of Xia Shishi pushing the door open wasn’t soft. Wen Jiao glanced up, then continued the meeting.

Since her wife didn’t pay attention to her, Xia Shishi had to find a way to make her presence known.

She didn’t speak to interrupt Wen Jiao’s meeting, but that didn’t stop her from making other small moves.

For instance, she spread her arms to measure the size of the room, seeing if she could fit another bed in it. She knew clearly that even if she genuinely wanted to sleep in the same bed as Wen Jiao, this cold-hearted person wouldn’t agree.

So, she would take it slowly, first letting Wen Jiao get used to her presence.

Once the two of them were like a left hand and a right hand, then wouldn’t it be okay to touch freely? Hehe!

Wen Jiao’s room was truly large. It could not only accommodate Xia Shishi but also her wardrobe and dressing table.

Xia Shishi was busy sectioning off the area.

Wen Jiao occasionally looked at her.

Every time she saw Xia Shishi secretly suppressing a laugh, she couldn’t help but wonder what this young girl was plotting.

“Director Wen? Chairwoman?”

The other board members were calling her.

Wen Jiao looked at the screen: “This proposal is not mature enough. The company doesn’t need to rush to launch new products. Everything should be focused on product quality.”

Xia Shishi heard one of the other board members: “Product iteration is very fast now. Customers prefer novel goods. If we don’t launch new products as soon as possible, our rival company will seize the market!”

Xia Shishi stopped to ponder.

That board member was right. In the original plot, Fu Yunhan repeatedly reached the pinnacle of the business world by constantly merging, expanding, and launching new products.

As for the quality issue, she didn’t recall Fu Yunhan or the others ever emphasizing it, nor was it mentioned in the plot.

She only remembered that after Wen Jiao was killed by the plot, the Wen Group was merged and acquired by Fu Yunhan, and then his business reputation suddenly became very good.

After Wen Jiao finished the meeting, she saw Xia Shishi’s small eyes filled with worry.

Wen Jiao’s hand paused, and her eyes once again looked at her immobile legs. She then said indifferently: “Uncle Zhang has cleaned your room. You can occasionally stay there.”

“Occasionally?” Xia Shishi raised her tone.

“You naturally…” Wen Jiao hadn’t finished her sentence.

“Wife, does this mean I can move into your room, and then if you make me angry, I can run to the room next door? Wife, you are so thoughtful.”

“But don’t worry, I’m not someone who gets angry easily, so there’s no need to prepare it!”

Wen Jiao looked at this shameless little rascal.

She didn’t understand why Xia Shishi said it in such a thoughtful way, whether it was due to a generation gap or Xia Shishi’s personality.

“Aren’t you planning to go home and live?” Wen Jiao’s expression darkened slightly.

Xia Shishi giggled: “Of course I have to go back to my parents’ home, but I’ll definitely take you with me then! But my room isn’t that big, it might be a bit cramped. So, let’s just stay in this room.”

Seriously, utterly shameless.
