After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 63

Xia Shishi returned to her room feeling satisfied after getting the answer from her grandfather.

Sure enough, for this kind of question, she still had to rely on the old man.

She reached out and had just touched the doorknob when she saw Wei Xixue walking towards her at a steady pace. Xia Shishi was a little puzzled. Her room and Wei Xixue’s were far apart, so she shouldn’t be passing by and meeting her coincidentally.

Worried that Wei Xixue had something to tell her, Xia Shishi stopped all her movements and turned to look.

If it was about Wen Jiao, she couldn’t miss it.

Wei Xixue and Wen Jiao were very different.

Neither of them seemed to show much emotion, but Wen Jiao’s emotions were contained, like the bright moonlight or a gently flowing stream.

Wei Xixue, on the other hand, was like an instrument, making it hard to see any thoughts in her eyes, as if she were naturally emotionless.

Perhaps it was her profession as a doctor, having seen too many patients, which led to her coldness.

“Hello, Doctor,” Xia Shishi said, nodding obediently.

Thinking about the “honey trap” plan made her feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, it hadn’t succeeded. If that absurd idea had actually worked, she would feel embarrassed every time she saw Wei Xixue and Ye Murou, and she wouldn’t be able to lift her head in front of her wife.

Xia Shishi tried to remain calm, thinking Wei Xixue was here to ask about the process, so she spoke, “Currently, there’s slight sensation, but she still can’t stand up. However, I will be very patient.”

She would accompany Wen Jiao all the way.

Wei Xixue glanced past Xia Shishi, then looked at Xia Shishi: “It seems the acupuncture has been effective, so you can keep it up.”

Then came a long period of silence.

Xia Shishi wanted to return to her room, but with Wei Xixue standing there, she wasn’t sure what to say for a moment.

It wasn’t until the silent atmosphere gradually became subtle that Xia Shishi asked, “Doctor, is there anything else you wanted to say?”

Wei Xixue: “Where is your friend?”

Xia Shishi looked at her in confusion.

Wei Xixue’s tone was light: “Isn’t she a servant in this house? Why don’t you let her accompany Miss Wen for rehabilitation training.”

Xia Shishi grew anxious: “What are you joking about? She’s my wife! Of course, I have to take care of her personally.”

Wait.

Although Wen Jiao always said there were servants at home and she didn’t need to do many things, Xia Shishi insisted on doing them because she enjoyed the feeling of being by Wen Jiao’s side.

But Ye Murou wasn’t a servant of the Wen family, and why was Wei Xixue specifically asking this?

Xia Shishi seemed to vaguely grasp something, but before she could be sure, Wei Xixue seemed to have gotten her answer, said “Is that so,” and walked straight past.

She really looked like she had just been passing by and simply chatted for a couple of sentences.

The weather was hot, especially outdoors.

The assistant rushed over, holding ice water, and handed the water to Zhou Xiaojiang, panting heavily: “Sister Zhou, here is your water.”

Zhou Xiaojiang was reapplying her makeup. The high temperature made it easy to sweat, which affected her makeup, so she was constantly touching it up, striving for the best on-camera look.

“Just call me Xiaojiang,” Zhou Xiaojiang smiled as she graciously accepted the ice water from the assistant’s hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, the makeup artist tilted her head, opening her mouth impatiently: “Don’t move around. You’re wasting time.”

“…”

Zhou Xiaojiang’s smile froze on her face, and she continued to smile with difficulty.

These were all within her expectations.

Initially, the crew, lacking funds, saw her relationship with Xia Shishi, so they let her audition for the female supporting role, thinking Xia Shishi might invest in the crew for her sake.

The director had a good plan, and Zhou Xiaojiang also needed to follow through with it.

However, since filming started, Xia Shishi had never shown up on set, let alone invested.

Was their relationship truly good?

Zhou Xiaojiang took a small sip of ice water, making herself more comfortable while also thinking seriously.

To get closer to Xia Shishi, she had done a lot, even paying more attention than she did to Fu Yunhan’s side.

And the return Xia Shishi gave her was indeed more than Fu Yunhan.

Now Fu Yunhan rarely contacted her, and Zhou Xiaojiang could only pretend to be considerate and let him continue working. But as time went on, Zhou Xiaojiang began to feel anxious.

Was Fu Yunhan truly reliable? The Fu family was big and wealthy, but they couldn’t even defeat one Wen Jiao.

Zhou Xiaojiang looked towards the director, who was sitting under a sunshade, talking to other actors.

Xia Shishi hadn’t invested, but the crew seemed to have pulled in investments from other sources, so they were no longer short of funds, and the director’s smiles had also increased significantly.

But he had also begun to ignore Zhou Xiaojiang. If she weren’t still a somewhat important character, she probably would have been kicked out of the crew long ago.

Zhou Xiaojiang was confident that after this film, her value in the entertainment industry would increase.

But it wasn’t enough, far from enough.

Zhou Xiaojiang took a deep breath and said to her assistant, “Please bring me my phone.”

She spoke politely, and even though it was the assistant’s job, she used the word “please,” which made the assistant feel unusually good, and the phone was quickly handed over.

Zhou Xiaojiang used her smile as a thank you. She unlocked the screen and found Xia Shishi.

The two were actually still in sporadic contact.

It was basically all pictures of affection sent by Xia Shishi, along with bragging words.

“My wife and I are so in love~”

Zhou Xiaojiang was practically grinding her teeth as she smiled. She sent a message to Xia Shishi: “Didn’t you say you were curious about how TV dramas are filmed? Do you want to come and visit the set?”

She was inviting Xia Shishi to come over.

Xia Shishi’s reply speed was as fast as ever, so fast it seemed she had nothing important to do all day: “I can’t do that. I have to take care of my wife.”

Zhou Xiaojiang snickered: “You’ve actually become a woman locked down by her family.”

She waited for a while.

Xia Shishi seemed to have thought for a long time before sending a message: “Then I’ll come visit the set tomorrow.”

“Ah~ So comfortable~”

Xia Shishi propped her feet up without any regard for her image.

Not only was her face pale, but Xia Shishi’s whole body was pale. Perhaps it was because she was afraid of the heat and hadn’t spent much time in the sun.

Because she stayed indoors for a long time and didn’t go out, she wore breathable and cool shorts and a T-shirt, and the exposed skin was bright white, dazzling to the eyes, to the extent that everyone who saw it wanted to touch it.

Wen Jiao frowned, carefully observing the sudden smile on Xia Shishi’s face.

She had been looking at her phone just now, seemed to have received a message, and then started acting like this, with her posture becoming relaxed.

“Are you going out?” Wen Jiao still asked, though her actions didn’t suggest it.

“Almost,” Xia Shishi stretched. She was getting a bit restless, and it just so happened that Zhou Xiaojiang was also restless, so why not go out for a trip.

Xia Shishi: “I have to go check on my wife’s investment and see if they are working seriously.”

Wen Jiao thought for a moment: “Zhou Xiaojiang?”

“Yeah~” Xia Shishi chuckled, “She invited me to visit the set, and I’m going to supervise a bit too.”

Not only that, but she also wanted to confirm a lot of things from Zhou Xiaojiang.

Although things are inevitable around the female lead, the time span of this book is several years, and it would be too long if it was written in too much detail.

So, the plot about Zhou Xiaojiang filming wasn’t much, it just briefly mentioned conflicts with other actresses and then her romantic scenes with Fu Yunhan.

She didn’t have many chances to appear in this part of the plot.

Xia Shishi didn’t know what was happening around Zhou Xiaojiang. She wanted to go over and confirm it.

Especially since the plot had already changed.

Fu Yunhan didn’t get the city quota he wanted, and a loss of several hundred million would have to be earned back from other places. He would probably be very busy. Plus, the relationship between the Xia family and the Fu family had also begun to crack, and the number of collaborations was decreasing…

Most importantly, the plot where dirty water was supposed to be thrown at Xia Shishi, causing her to lose her reputation and stir up trouble sooner, didn’t happen.

What kind of plot would the current Zhou Xiaojiang have?

She had to go and confirm it.

To avoid unnecessary accidents.

Xia Shishi had already wanted to find an opportunity to go, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaojiang panicked before she did~

Wen Jiao lowered her face: “What’s there to supervise?”

She was just looking for an excuse to see that person, right?

She wanted to go with Xia Shishi to confirm things, but she couldn’t leave. She wanted to keep Xia Shishi, but then she remembered that Xia Shishi had been by her side almost constantly for a long time.

For a young girl who naturally loved excitement, being able to sit still until now was already gratifying.

She had no excuse to stop her, but she felt a little uncomfortable inside.

The rarely experienced emotion made Wen Jiao seem clumsy, and she could only murmur softly.

Why not just lock Xia Shishi up?

At least this way, she wouldn’t see Zhou Xiaojiang and would still stay by her side.

Would she feel more comfortable this way?

Wen Jiao hid the dangerous thoughts bubbling up in her eyes and endured with great effort.

After her thoughts calmed down, Wen Jiao began to smile bitterly. It seemed Xia Shishi wasn’t the only one who indulged in wishful thinking.

As long as someone indulged her, such thoughts would inevitably arise.

Can you please not go?

Don’t see anyone, not even Ye Murou, and it’s best not to hide anything from me.

Wen Jiao’s body stiffened, and she began to think of a solution that would satisfy both of them. She should be able to think of one quickly.

Wen Jiao clenched her fingertips, which gradually turned white.

Xia Shishi noticed it.

She stroked her chin, her smile becoming wild and unrestrained: “Are you reluctant to let me go~”

Wen Jiao: “…”

Xia Shishi’s eyes curved, and her expression was smug and triumphant: “If you’re reluctant, you have to say it, so I’ll know. If you say, ‘Dear Wife, please don’t go, I’ll miss you,’ then I won’t go.”

At worst, she would go another day.

Opportunities to tease Wen Jiao were rare; this was a good time.

Xia Shishi was so happy her eyebrows were dancing, and she was cackling with laughter while stomping her feet.

Wen Jiao: “…”

Wen Jiao: “Come here.”

Xia Shishi: “I won’t come over. If you have the guts, come over and beat me to death.”

Wen Jiao, who couldn’t get out of bed, began to clench her hands tightly.

She could walk over with a cane and hit her, but her speed definitely couldn’t catch up with Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi, like an infuriating brat, added, “At worst, you can beat me to death with your cane.”

Wen Jiao: “…” Getting angry was impossible; there was no need to get angry at Xia Shishi.

She genuinely wanted to walk over, pin Xia Shishi down, and give her a beating.

Wen Jiao took a breath.

She now had sensation in her legs, and standing up was no longer completely impossible. If she persevered, maybe she could really chase Xia Shishi and beat her.

Calculating the time, it would probably be just two or three years later that she could bully the young girl.

Two or three years.

Perhaps due to excessive anger, Wen Jiao felt the blood flowing in her legs. She calmed down, and her voice was devoid of emotion, emphasizing again, “Come here.”

Xia Shishi stopped laughing, scrutinized Wen Jiao carefully, and then slowly edged closer.

She didn’t really get angry, did she?

She had been careful with her boundaries; after bouncing on Wen Jiao’s bottom line for so long, she shouldn’t be beating her for just these two sentences.

Xia Shishi chickened out: “Actually, there’s still room for discussion.”

Wen Jiao looked at her, signaling Xia Shishi to continue.

“I can live stream!” Xia Shishi had a flash of inspiration, suddenly coming up with an excellent idea.

“How many people are curious about how the crew films? I’ll carry a camera in and film it to satisfy the curiosity of the broad audience, and you can watch too. This is so good, it’s a win-win!”

Xia Shishi grew more excited as she spoke: “Think about my current traffic; I might even get a lot of donations, and I can earn some pocket money.”

Maybe she could even promote the show.

Then they would earn even more.

This was multiple benefits rolled into one; why wouldn’t she do it!

Xia Shishi was so carried away that she almost forgot the danger and was already considering which platform to stream on and whether to make a signing fee with the platform on the side.

Wen Jiao just watched her, not speaking.

Live streaming, huh? It was indeed a good idea. Even if Xia Shishi wasn’t by her side, she could watch closely, and Xia Shishi probably wouldn’t dare to act out in front of the camera.

But that was a separate matter from why she called Xia Shishi over.

Xia Shishi moved closer to Wen Jiao on the bed as she spoke.

Due to her extreme focus, she didn’t notice Wen Jiao’s movement until she reacted, and she was already grabbed tightly by her.

She had walked right into the trap.
