After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 33
Zhou Xiaojiang’s Dilemma
Zhou Xiaojiang called Fu Yunhan several times, but no one answered.
Infuriated, she clutched her phone: “Men really can’t be relied upon!”
It was a good thing she hadn’t agreed to Fu Yunhan’s request, but what did that matter?
Because of Fu Yunhan, she failed to notice Xia Shishi’s changes in time, causing her relationship with Xia Shishi to now significantly deteriorate.
Now, Xia Shishi was pretending not to understand, and Fu Yunhan wasn’t answering his calls.
What was she going to do about her upcoming auditions…
How many people who enter the entertainment industry don’t want to make it big? How many are willing to remain a D-list celebrity?
Failing to land a role meant no money, let alone anything else.
“I still have to rely on myself,” Zhou Xiaojiang narrowed her eyes, a vicious look in them.
Since no one was willing to help her manage her social connections, she would just have to handle it herself.
Zhou Xiaojiang took a deep breath, found her agent, and asked for the director’s contact information.
Looking at the director’s name, Zhou Xiaojiang sneered.
It turned out to be him.
Qi Xue’s Encounter and Deal
Qi Xue was cleaning Fu Yunhan’s room.
Yesterday, Xia Shishi came to visit the Fu family, and the two of them happened to run into each other, putting Qi Xue in an embarrassing position.
But Fu Yunhan seemed even more embarrassed than she was.
Soon after Xia Shishi left with Wen Jiao, Fu Yunhan also rushed out. He seemed to have gone to a hotel, drank all night, and came back drunk to collapse on the bed this morning.
She was currently sweeping under the carpet, a task she had never done before.
Qi Xue’s eyes were red, unwilling to continue like this, but she couldn’t think of a way out of her predicament.
The phone on the bedside table kept ringing.
It was a special ringtone, and Qi Xue knew it was Zhou Xiaojiang calling him.
Fu Yunhan turned over impatiently, startling Qi Xue, who had been staring at the phone. After a while, the phone became silent, and then her phone rang.
Zhou Xiaojiang was calling her.
Qi Xue tiptoed out, then answered the phone through gritted teeth: “You still call me!”
She had originally threatened Zhou Xiaojiang to hire her as an assistant, not to be thrown to Fu Yunhan!
Zhou Xiaojiang had a handle on her. If she were Zhou Xiaojiang’s assistant, would Zhou Xiaojiang dare make her do so much work?
As Qi Xue thought about how to warn her, she heard Zhou Xiaojiang’s calm voice: “One last collaboration, how about it?”
Qi Xue was stunned.
The Forty Thousand Yuan Contract
The two met in an agreed-upon location.
Zhou Xiaojiang looked very composed, throwing the calculating Qi Xue off her game.
“Sit,” Zhou Xiaojiang didn’t look well either, but she still actively pulled out a chair for Qi Xue.
After Qi Xue sat down, she sat down.
Zhou Xiaojiang politely asked: “How are things going for you at the Fu family?”
“Zhou Xiaojiang, how dare you even ask!”
Fortunately, the place they agreed to meet was a private room, so Qi Xue’s loud outburst didn’t matter.
Zhou Xiaojiang curled her lip, waiting for Qi Xue to continue: “A minimum of 30,000 yuan to work for you! Otherwise, I’ll expose your matters to Xia Shishi, and you won’t have an easy time either!”
30,000? To hire an assistant?
Qi Xue still had no grasp of her own worth.
Not everyone was as rich and generous as Xia Shishi, spending tens of thousands of yuan to hire someone just to hang out with her.
Zhou Xiaojiang was definitely not that type of person; her own income wasn’t stable right now.
Zhou Xiaojiang was very calm: “Now that you know how hard it is to earn money, stop dreaming.”
Qi Xue ground her teeth.
What good did knowing now do!
She was foolish enough to think that merely slandering someone in front of Xia Shishi, saying a few words, could earn her 100,000 yuan.
Who knew Xia Shishi would fire her just like that?
Giving up such a high-paying job for a mere 100,000 yuan was the most unprofitable business decision she had ever made!
This was all Zhou Xiaojiang’s fault!
Zhou Xiaojiang looked at her coldly: “Look on the bright side. Even if this hadn’t happened, you couldn’t have worked for Xia Shishi for long. Your mother, heh.”
Qi Xue’s face darkened: “How is that your business?”
Zhou Xiaojiang slowly said: “It’s not my business, but since things have come to this, how about making another quick profit from Xia Shishi?”
Qi Xue looked at her as if she were insane: “Do you know what you’re saying?”
Make another quick profit from Xia Shishi?
Although she didn’t know what had happened, Xia Shishi was no longer the fool she used to be.
Nothing was that simple.
Zhou Xiaojiang pushed a contract over: “As long as you do what it says, you will get 400,000 yuan.”
400,000 yuan—that would take eight months even working for Xia Shishi.
And Qi Xue only needed to do one small thing that would take only a few days.
Zhou Xiaojiang’s eyes flashed: “Or would you rather be a maid at the Fu family? In that case, we can pretend we never met today.”
After getting this money, Qi Xue could do many things.
Even if she earned less in the future, at least she wouldn’t have to live in fear.
Qi Xue looked at the clauses in the contract: “You really are crazy. You still want to drag me down with you.”
Zhou Xiaojiang took back the contract: “Then I wish you a pleasant job.”
“Wait, I… I accept.”
Wen Jiao’s Sudden Relapse
In Wen Jiao’s room.
“How could this be…” Zheng He frowned intensely.
“According to the inspection report from the day before yesterday, your body was slowly recovering. Although you’re not as healthy as a normal person, the results were good.”
Wen Jiao was oblivious to Zheng He’s voice.
She was in great pain, lying on the bed, breathing rapidly, with every exhaled breath feeling scorching hot.
Wen Jiao endured it all last night.
Afraid that Xia Shishi would worry about her.
As a result of the delay, the situation seemed to have worsened, so much so that Zheng He didn’t even have time to ask for details, only focusing on how to make Wen Jiao feel better.
Her current heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure were all abnormal.
If it were before, Zheng He wouldn’t be surprised, but according to the tests a few days ago, Wen Jiao’s physical condition had clearly stabilized. How could it suddenly start to deteriorate?
Uncle Zhang stood by the side. He had finished calling the master and madam and was now preparing to rush home.
As the saying goes, long-term illness makes a doctor. Even though Uncle Zhang wasn’t a doctor, Wen Jiao had been sick for so many years that he could tell something from the long string of data.
Uncle Zhang was anxious: “Is Miss alright?”
Zheng He clicked his tongue: “I’ll tell you news that I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”
Uncle Zhang’s heart tightened.
“Her current physical data is the same as when she was twenty-three years old.” And Wen Jiao was currently twenty-seven.
A body becoming younger is a good thing for most people, but for Wen Jiao… twenty-three was the year she was the sickest. Everyone thought she wouldn’t make it back then.
Wen Jiao’s physical change was too sudden.
Which led to no one knowing what to say.
They could only gather together, feeling lost and anxious.
Uncle Zhang suddenly started to tear up: “Miss Xia just moved in.”
Zheng He subconsciously wanted to slander Xia Shishi by blaming her for upsetting Wen Jiao.
But Zheng He suddenly couldn’t bring himself to blame her, because when the inspection results came out the day before yesterday, he was the one who said that Xia Shishi moving in wasn’t a bad thing, seeing how her body was getting better.
Zheng He: “…”
Zheng He: “What happened last night? I wasn’t here last night.”
Uncle Zhang: “Yesterday, Miss and Miss Xia went to visit the Fu family, Dr. Zheng, do you think the Fu family poisoned Miss!” He knew that the Fu family had recently been competing with Miss for business!
Zheng He: “Possibly.” (Not likely).
But this matter was too strange, and it just so happened to coincide with the Fu family. Even if no toxins were found during the examination, thinking about it from a metaphysical perspective—
The most urgent task was still to find a way to stabilize Wen Jiao’s condition.
Zheng He frowned.
The equipment in Wen Jiao’s villa was all complete, capable of constantly monitoring Wen Jiao’s body, and the necessary resuscitation equipment was also present.
“Her condition is not too bad right now.” Zheng He didn’t know the specifics of that year; he hadn’t finished his hospital internship yet. But judging from Wen Jiao’s current reaction, it wasn’t so dire.
Looking at the report in his hand, Zheng He felt even more that this resembled a warning.
Uncle Zhang asked about another matter: “Should I notify Miss Xia to come back?”
“Call her back,” Zheng He thought to himself, at this time, he could only call Xia Shishi back to act as a good luck charm.
Xia Shishi’s Distress and Confession
When Xia Shishi received the call, it was exactly when she was getting off work.
Ye Murou was inviting Ji Yan and the others out to eat, but Xia Shishi decided not to go and slowly left work alone.
Upon receiving Uncle Zhang’s call, she immediately panicked and rushed back at the fastest speed possible.
How could this be?
In the previous life, wasn’t Wen Jiao perfectly fine? Even the end of the original plot only said she was framed by Fu Yunhan and Zhou Xiaojiang and went to prison, not that she died from poor health.
Could it be that her rebirth changed something, thus affecting Wen Jiao?
If so, she really deserved to die.
After stepping through the door, Xia Shishi flew straight to the room. Seeing the weak Wen Jiao on the sickbed, Xia Shishi’s heart was tearing apart.
Wen Jiao was already uncomfortable yesterday, how could she have felt safe going to work today?
Wen Jiao was in so much pain, yet she wasn’t by her side.
Xia Shishi ran over crying: “She will be fine, right!”
Zheng He was just about to change Wen Jiao’s medicine. Seeing Xia Shishi crying so miserably, he swore: “Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
Xia Shishi cried out: “How can a family member not panic!”
Zheng He: “…”
Wen Jiao’s illness came quickly and went quickly.
Although she hadn’t woken up yet, she was merely physically weak and wasn’t in any serious danger.
Seeing that the instrument was no longer sounding an alarm, Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to fuss over the little good luck charm.
“You should spend more time with her.”
Xia Shishi misunderstood: “What did you say!”
Zheng He spat twice: “You stay and take care of her! Call me when she wakes up! Everything is fine, don’t worry!”
After being rattled by Wen Jiao’s illness, Zheng He was now exhausted.
He left two caregivers and entrusted Wen Jiao to Xia Shishi for the moment.
Xia Shishi sat by the bed.
The bed she forcibly moved in was now proving very useful, allowing her to stay with Wen Jiao at all times.
Seeing Wen Jiao with her eyes closed, tears wet her eyelashes. She held Wen Jiao’s fingers: “Can you wake up and talk to me first?”
“If you don’t like seeing Fu Yunhan, is that why you got sick to protest? Then we won’t see him anymore.”
“I don’t care who he is. If we offended him, we offended him. We’ll live our own little life.”
Xia Shishi gently rested her head on Wen Jiao’s arm, feeling her temperature.
“Once you get better this time, you’re not allowed to get sick again. You were the one who invited me out to play, how can you collapse now?”
Wen Jiao’s Dream
Wen Jiao fell into a dream.
She seemed to have gone back to the past.
At that time, her body was even weaker. She was forcefully required to live in the main Wen residence and was not allowed to go outside.
Fortunately, the Wen family’s main residence was very large and had a huge garden.
She could look down from the window.
There were many flowers in the garden, and the gardener was watering them. She thought, how nice it would be if she could have her own little flower one day.
