After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 49

Wen Jiao maintained her elegant composure.

After she finished speaking, she calmly and collectedly looked at Qi Xue’s mother: “First, let me introduce myself.”

Qi Xue’s mother was still immersed in her anger. Hearing Wen Jiao’s voice, she reluctantly looked over.

It was a woman in her twenties, with a decent appearance and temperament. Although young, she had a natural difference from Xia Shishi’s youthful vibrancy.

Qi Xue’s mother had noticed her before; it was hard not to.

A cripple in a wheelchair, no matter how good-looking, was still a cripple. Even if she was Xia Shishi’s friend, a young lady from a prominent family, she must be one of the unfavored ones, so Qi Xue’s mother didn’t take her seriously.

In her eyes, no amount of money could compare to Xia Shishi’s wealth.

Who didn’t know about Xia Group’s skincare products? Besides, Xia Shishi was the only daughter of the Xia family.

“My name is Wen Jiao,” Wen Jiao calmly looked at Qi Xue’s mother. “Xia Shishi’s fiancée.”

Qi Xue’s mother: “…”

Qi Xue’s mother was stunned by this sentence and didn’t know how to react.

She had never heard that Xia Shishi liked women.

And even if she did, would the Xia family indulge Xia Shishi and allow her to get engaged to this woman? Not necessarily. Xia Shishi was extremely favored at home.

Before Qi Xue’s mother could fully imagine Wen Jiao as a long-suffering character, Wen Jiao continued, her tone forceful: “We just got engaged, and I don’t want these trivial matters to disturb my fiancée and waste our time.”

Qi Xue’s mother wanted to speak, but Wen Jiao narrowed her eyes, radiating an imposing aura: “I will have people pick you up later. I hope you can have a good talk with Qi Xue.”

Qi Xue’s mother: “…”

She was completely being led along.

“If Qi Xue doesn’t even listen to you, then I can only proceed according to the process. At that time, I will send her to prison. As for compensation, you better not think about reneging.”

As soon as Wen Jiao finished speaking, a large group of men in black swarmed into Qi Xue’s house.

Even Xia Shishi was dumbfounded now.

The black-clad bodyguards stood behind Wen Jiao, while Wen Jiao said lightly: “Pack your things and let’s go.”

This deterrent power was extraordinary.

Being warned about compensation, and facing bodyguards and the threat of prison—Qi Xue’s mother had never experienced any of this and was easily bluffed.

She obediently followed the instructions, then called her husband and son, preparing for the whole family to go and lecture Qi Xue.

Xia Shishi looked at the bodyguards behind Wen Jiao: “Did they also rush here when we set off?”

Wen Jiao: “No, they were following right behind us.”

Xia Shishi: “…Impressive.”

“My health is poor after all, and I’m prone to accidents.” Wen Jiao’s voice became weaker, causing Xia Shishi’s lips to twitch, yet she still felt worried.

If it weren’t for her, Wen Jiao wouldn’t have risked accompanying her on this trip.

Thinking of this, Xia Shishi’s voice also softened: “I’ll solve things myself in the future.”

Wen Jiao looked up.

Her gaze was faintly annoyed as she looked at Xia Shishi, then frowned without saying anything.

Was her self-introduction just now not enough?

Xia Shishi called her “wife” joyfully, but at the critical moment, she forgot about it. It seemed she still didn’t take Wen Jiao seriously.

Wen Jiao twisted the ring on her hand and lowered her eyes in thought.

Xia Shishi looked towards Qi Xue’s mother.

She had to admit that Wen Jiao’s move was more effective.

Fu Yunhan might send people to monitor Qi Xue’s family to threaten Qi Xue, but Wen Jiao also brought people over.

With a few words, she got Qi Xue’s family on her side. Even if Fu Yunhan wanted to act, she wouldn’t dare to directly attack Wen Jiao. The bodyguards around her had years of experience, and Wen Jiao was a major client to them; there could be no mistakes.

The matter was so effortless that Xia Shishi wanted to take Wen Jiao to tour the city a bit more.

After all, it was a spring outing; they shouldn’t go back too early…

At the Film Set

Zhou Xiaojiang had just joined the crew and was very polite to everyone. After finishing her scenes, she would smile and greet everyone before leaving.

Returning to the resting room, Zhou Xiaojiang began to boss around the new assistant her company arranged for her: “Go fetch me a cup of water.”

The assistant nodded and left, leaving Zhou Xiaojiang to pout: “Clueless.”

As an assistant, couldn’t she learn to have the water ready beforehand?

She picked up her phone and started searching for Xia Shishi’s name again.

Although she used Xia Shishi’s fame to join the crew this time, she still hoped that Fu Yunhan’s side would go smoothly. She had a hunch that her relationship with Xia Shishi would only drift further apart.

Before the search bar could pop up, Zhou Xiaojiang received a message from Xia Shishi.

Her finger paused above the screen for a moment before she hesitantly tapped it open.

Xia Shishi sent a photo. In it, she stood beside Wen Jiao’s wheelchair, smiling brightly. Wen Jiao looked expressionless, but her gaze towards Xia Shishi was clearly one of doting affection.

A moment later, Xia Shishi sent a string of text: On a spring outing with my wife.

Xia Shishi: Oh, it’s summer now, so it’s just a simple trip~ You’re still filming, right? Hard work! I’ll share more photos with you.

That silly, simple tone.

It was as if Xia Shishi still considered her her best friend.

But Zhou Xiaojiang didn’t want to see any of this! She furiously tapped the screen, deleting and then pressing send.

Zhou Xiaojiang: So envious!!

Besides that, she had nothing else to say.

This fake friendship might as well end sooner, Zhou Xiaojiang looked distressed.

Just as she angrily switched interfaces, she saw that the marketing accounts she followed with her alternate account started posting videos about Xia Shishi. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in satisfaction.

She wondered if Xia Shishi could still smile after seeing these.

Zhou Xiaojiang quickly shared the content.

Zhou Xiaojiang: The crew just sent this to me. Everyone knows we have a good relationship, so they’re all asking me what’s going on. Shishi, are you okay?

Xia Shishi had simply eaten a meal with Wen Jiao at a nearby shop.

Taking a moment to take a photo and then provoke Zhou Xiaojiang was the extent of it.

She was now on her way back with Qi Xue’s family and laughed when she saw the video shared by Zhou Xiaojiang.

Wen Jiao frowned: “Who are you chatting with that makes you smile so happily?”

Xia Shishi: “Zhou Xiaojiang.”

Wen Jiao’s frown deepened.

Xia Shishi was eager to provoke Zhou Xiaojiang and momentarily ignored Wen Jiao’s unusual expression. Her fingers flew across the screen, typing: I’ve been wronged! A huge injustice! How could such a good person like me do such a thing!

Zhou Xiaojiang: Don’t worry, I believe you. Why don’t you come out and properly explain?

Xia Shishi: You’re right.

So she updated her social media.

Xia Shishi: Shopping with my wife, hehe~ [Image attached].

Explain, explain my foot.

Xia Shishi put away her phone and looked at the other car following them, where Qi Xue’s family was seated.

She was too lazy to explain this kind of thing. She would leave the opportunity for them.

Perhaps the marketing accounts hadn’t reached their full influence yet.

Xia Shishi’s post immediately garnered a large number of likes, and the comments were all complimentary.

“Some people are shopping, some are in love, and I’m quietly eating instant noodles.”

“I thought I was envious of one of them, but then I realized I envy both! Can’t you rich ladies help the poor!”

“Why show off your affection, unless you get married!”

“Miss Xia’s skin is really good. This must be a no-filter camera. I’m going to order your skincare products right now.”

Xia Shishi scrolled through the comments and didn’t see any insults.

This was completely different from her comment section in her previous life.

So she liked all the comments asking when they would get married and held up her phone to show Wen Jiao.

She turned around and found that Wen Jiao was also looking at her phone.

Xia Shishi thought she was busy with work, so she didn’t continue but quietly celebrated by herself. It wasn’t until she noticed the paid trolls’ comments that she let out a sigh of relief, closed the app, and started playing Candy Crush.

Wen Jiao was searching.

“Fiancée is chatting happily with her same-sex friend.”

The search results were all:

“This is normal.”

“Girlfriends are all like this, they even kiss.”

“Don’t overthink it, she should have her own social life, and she doesn’t have an obligation to give up her friends for you.”

Wen Jiao pursed her lips, feeling restless.

She had no reason to restrain Xia Shishi. Xia Shishi being willing to stay by her side was already a great thing.

Originally, Xia Shishi was supposed to break off the engagement with her.

It was a luxury for her to even meet Xia Shishi.

And now, Xia Shishi was sitting next to her. What more could she be dissatisfied with?

But looking at the line that said “they even kiss,” the words became more and more glaring.

Would Xia Shishi kiss her close friends? What about her? Were their kisses just because they had a good relationship, and had nothing to do with love?

So, did Xia Shishi truly like her, or was she simply treating her as someone she had a good relationship with?

Because she was willing to sacrifice everything for Xia Shishi.

Wen Jiao turned her face and glanced at Xia Shishi.

She was playing Candy Crush. The continuous music was a bit noisy. Xia Shishi was smiling very happily, unable to contain her expression.

Passing one level after another, she seemed very joyful.

Wen Jiao just watched, then her gaze fell on Xia Shishi’s lips. Thinking that she might kiss others made Wen Jiao even more agitated. She wanted to make Xia Shishi cry, cry until tears were pouring down, welling up in her eyes, yet daring not to cry out loud.

Wen Jiao’s hand moved and she gently stroked Xia Shishi’s hair.

Xia Shishi looked up, her expression puzzled.

Wen Jiao looked calm: “Your hair has grown longer.”

Xia Shishi also touched her hair ends: “Has it? It seems so.”

Xia Shishi looked at Wen Jiao’s dark hair, which had just passed her shoulder a little, looking sharp and impeccably stylish.

Holding her own long hair, she didn’t even look at her phone as the Candy Crush countdown ended. Instead, she seriously asked Wen Jiao: “Where do you think I should cut it?”

Wen Jiao looked at her lips opening and closing as she spoke, not shifting her gaze, and also asked: “What color of lipstick do you think suits me better?”

Xia Shishi: “Hmm?”

Wen Jiao: “Didn’t you say it?”

“It’s better to wear the lipstick you like. So, what kind of lipstick do you like?”

Would that kind of lipstick be worn by Zhou Xiaojiang too?

Wen Jiao was expressionless.

She couldn’t control her thoughts.

This feeling was unfamiliar, yet unstoppable. It felt like the temperature inside the car was the same as the highway outside, scorching and unbearable.

She knew it wasn’t good to continue like this, but it was like a fire in a haystack, burning stronger and stronger.

Wen Jiao took a deep breath: “Forget it.”

She shouldn’t ask any further.

What if Xia Shishi really left if she asked too much?

And went running off to her Zhou Xiaojiang?

“Don’t be like that,” Xia Shishi drew out her words, pulling out her own lipstick from her bag. “Try this one. I really like this one. I’ll put it on for you.”

Xia Shishi urged Wen Jiao with her eyes.

“Hurry up and put it on, hurry.”

Xia Shishi certainly remembered saying something like that. She remembered the next line, too.

Because the lipstick on Wen Jiao’s lips would be kissed away by her.
