After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 64

Wen Jiao held onto Xia Shishi’s wrist tightly.

Just that action made Xia Shishi instinctively panic. She tried to pull her hand away, but was tugged back. Her body lost its balance and she fell onto Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao was sitting on the bed, her legs covered by a soft, thin blanket. Xia Shishi was pressing down on Wen Jiao’s legs, and even though she was free to move, she remained motionless, huddled there.

For some reason, she didn’t dare to look up.

Were those few words she just said really too much? She needed to reflect seriously and not say them again in the future.

Xia Shishi squeezed her eyes shut, afraid she would cry, especially since preparing to apologize to Wen Jiao filled her with stress. In her panic, tears streamed down: “I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

Wen Jiao looked at her with deep, dark eyes.

She was quick to admit fault, but her attitude was not earnest.

She would just cry and be pitiful, making it hard for Wen Jiao to continue being angry.

Having finally coaxed the person over, Wen Jiao naturally wouldn’t let go. She asked, “Where were you wrong?”

“I…” Xia Shishi began to stutter. “I was wrong not to joke with you like that. I seem to be bad at talking. I was thinking you would be able to stand up…”

Damn it.

With tears in her eyes, Xia Shishi buried her head in Wen Jiao’s embrace. Some people remain the same even after being reborn; a clumsy person will never learn.

She had always been nurtured, saying whatever came to mind, never having to worry about offending people, and speaking with a self-assured air.

Wen Jiao was so good; she shouldn’t have to tolerate someone like her.

Xia Shishi wanted to change, but her natural temperament was difficult to alter.

She could anger countless people and treat everyone as insignificant. After developing this terrible habit, she began to hit walls everywhere with Wen Jiao.

“I can only remember that I like you.”

Xia Shishi admitted her mistake miserably.

The bitterness in Xia Shishi’s heart was churning violently, rushing into her eyes, making her cry heavily. She was apologizing, yet she looked more pitiful than Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao gazed at her, then finally wiped away her tears helplessly and said softly, “I was worried I wouldn’t be able to reach you.”

Xia Shishi’s eyes widened.

Wen Jiao: “I can’t catch up to you, so I can’t reach you. What if you walk too far away someday?”

Xia Shishi’s gaze seemed to crash directly into Wen Jiao’s heart.

“Really?” Xia Shishi clutched Wen Jiao’s clothes, repeatedly confirming.

Wen Jiao would proactively propose a marriage contract with her, take care of her in every way, and reveal deep affection through her every action.

But she had never said the words I like you to her face, let alone liked her this much.

Because of this moment of frankness, Xia Shishi cheered up significantly. She stopped crying: “Isn’t it nice to be frank?”

Wen Jiao was helpless.

“Yes, it is nice to be frank.”

Their mistake was that they weren’t frank enough.

“You want to live stream?”

Zhou Xiaojiang was stunned after receiving Xia Shishi’s phone call.

Had too much time passed since they last communicated by phone, causing her to completely misunderstand Xia Shishi now?

As a rich young lady, Xia Shishi was considered one of the more flamboyant ones in the circle, practically a proud little princess whom everyone had to cater to.

However, Xia Shishi also disliked being discussed too much privately, so she rarely interacted with people on social media platforms.

At most, she would share what she had done recently, like a diary.

And now she actually wanted to live stream?

How was this any different from the entertainment industry she used to despise the most?

After Zhou Xiaojiang exclaimed, Xia Shishi slowly said, “Yeah, my wife is worried about me and insists on keeping a video call with me.”

Zhou Xiaojiang: “…” Damn it.

She was sick of Xia Shishi’s infatuation.

They say wise men don’t fall in love, and looking at Xia Shishi, it seemed as if all her intelligence had been consumed, leaving her only capable of remembering wife, wife, wife.

How could such a person repeatedly escape from the turmoil of time?

Zhou Xiaojiang also thought of Xia Shishi’s wife.

She was also a strange person, sitting in a wheelchair all day, seemingly inconspicuous, yet constantly giving Fu Yunhan a headache. She must be someone who was difficult to bully.

The two of them together…

Tsk.

Zhou Xiaojiang quickly collected her emotions: “I’ll have to ask the director about this, but I don’t have much influence, and the director probably won’t agree.”

Live streaming a film set is not a small matter. Even actors sign confidentiality agreements, and there are countless rules. If Xia Shishi live-streamed and captured something, it could cause trouble for the entire production team.

Xia Shishi remained silent.

Zhou Xiaojiang assumed she understood the gravity of the situation and chose to give up.

Just as Zhou Xiaojiang was about to suggest she could send more messages back, Xia Shishi immediately spoke: “Then go and ask.”

Zhou Xiaojiang was now completely unable to figure Xia Shishi out.

Xia Shishi had her considerations as well.

Based on Wen Jiao’s status as the largest investor, the director would definitely agree to let her live stream the set visit.

But in that case, the director would think of Zhou Xiaojiang, confirm that Zhou Xiaojiang had a backer, and make her life much easier going forward.

In that scenario, Xia Shishi would become a mere tool for Zhou Xiaojiang.

It was annoying, just like in her previous life.

However, abandoning the idea of live streaming was also unsatisfactory to Xia Shishi, so she remained quiet for a moment, stopping to think.

She was contemplating the relationship between Zhou Xiaojiang and Fu Yunhan.

What was Zhou Xiaojiang’s background? Born into an ordinary family, before she met Xia Shishi and Fu Yunhan, she didn’t get any good roles for years—not even supporting roles, mostly just walk-on parts.

In the previous life, Xia Shishi became Zhou Xiaojiang’s good friend.

Fu Yunhan became Zhou Xiaojiang’s boyfriend.

In this struggle over the plot, Fu Yunhan and Zhou Xiaojiang were the male and female leads, and she, Xia Shishi, became the self-inflicted villainess.

After being reborn, Xia Shishi certainly didn’t want to continue down that path. She had Wen Jiao, and she couldn’t let Wen Jiao Walk the old path again.

She had to be with Wen Jiao and write a different ending.

The events that had occurred earlier made Xia Shishi confident that the plot could be rewritten. Qi Xue had vanished, and Xia Shishi was no longer the scorned capitalist’s daughter online.

If the plot can be rewritten, can the male and female leads’ story be changed?

Xia Shishi was originally worried that Zhou Xiaojiang might conspire with Fu Yunhan in her absence, which is why she maintained contact with Zhou Xiaojiang and planned the visit.

What if the director and Zhou Xiaojiang found out that Wen Jiao was the biggest investor?

Perhaps she could sabotage things and influence the entire future trajectory.

Just like how the Xia family and the Fu family had already cut ties.

Her rebirth was arranged by fate—

Xia Shishi decided to proceed with the live-streamed visit.

“How are messages enough? My wife can’t see me,” Xia Shishi murmured. She just wanted her wife to see her, which sparked the idea of live streaming.

In the end, since they were going to video call anyway, why not switch to live streaming?

Xia Shishi held her phone: “There’s not much difference between a video call and a live stream. My wife won’t talk anyway, let alone pay attention to me. A few netizens can chat with me.” And satisfy her vanity.

Xia Shishi quickly registered an account on a certain live streaming platform and applied for streamer status.

She had also intended to extort a contract fee from the platform, but after a lot of effort, she didn’t know how to do it and didn’t want to make things too complicated, so she just went with it.

She casually shared the live stream account on her social media account, confirmed the live stream time, and then finished.

The camera focused on Xia Shishi, and the figure of a young girl appeared on the screen.

Dressed in the trendiest current fashion, with slightly curled hair ends, her fair, slender arm was raised in front of the screen, and she greeted the few viewers in the live stream with a smile: “You’re here.”

Xia Shishi’s smile was beautiful and full of life, practically an idol on stage.

Her appearance instantly caused a flurry of comments in the bullet screen.

“Close-up beauty!”

“Sister, please live stream more often, I love watching.”

“Slurp, slurp, slurp.”

“How do you maintain your skin? It’s too good.”

“Is this the original camera?”

“Please share the link for the products you’re promoting.”

Xia Shishi smiled faintly, not finding it bothersome.

This was a big departure from her usual personality.

Perhaps it was because among these thirty-plus viewers, one of them was Wen Jiao.

Xia Shishi clicked on the list of online followers and quickly found Wen Jiao. Among the numerous avatars, only hers was the system default, making it easy to recognize.

Confirming that Wen Jiao was watching, Xia Shishi smiled even more brightly. When she smiled, the bullet screen scrolled rapidly.

More and more people were joining the live stream, likely coming from her platform account. After all, she had over three million followers, which was enough to bring some audience over.

Since it was her first live stream, the comments were very enthusiastic, with many questions being asked.

There were also quite a few marketing accounts.

They probably wanted to know what company products the Xia Group’s daughter was planning to promote by live streaming.

Most viewers now assumed she was going to promote products, but looking at her face and the snowy-white skin effect, they were very willing to buy.

“Your skincare products are very good. I have sensitive skin and can only buy yours [struggling].”

“Me too! And the price is very cheap, genuine domestic product!”

“Are you launching a new product? Can a mother use it?”

“She’s out in such strong sunlight without wearing sun-protective clothing, so she must be introducing sunscreen.”

“Sunscreen?” Xia Shishi raised an eyebrow.

She recalled the few skincare products she had customized for Wen Jiao by Fang Yingcai. Although they already accommodated Wen Jiao’s constitution, since Wen Jiao was currently undergoing treatment, it was best not to use anything.

Otherwise, before Wei Xixue even had a chance to frown, Zheng He would be complaining bitterly.

Xia Shishi wasn’t so thoughtless as to insist on demonstrating and proving her research and development capabilities by having Wen Jiao try them out.

Those skincare products were just gathering dust.

But this was the industry Xia Shishi was passionate about, and she couldn’t sit still, so when she saw that comment: “I do have an idea for a sunscreen, but it hasn’t been made yet.”

“I want the one you’re using right now.”

“Hurry up and post the link, I’m ready to grab it.”

“If you’re not selling anything, why are you live streaming to seduce people?”

“Seduce people…” Xia Shishi’s expression instantly changed.

She ignored the viewers, quickly picked up another phone, and began to complain tearfully to Wen Jiao.

Xia Shishi: “Slander! They’re slandering me!”

She only wanted to seduce Wen Jiao; heaven knows.

Afraid Wen Jiao might misunderstand, Xia Shishi’s speed of explanation was unmatched, and her survival instincts were truly extraordinary. She even specifically waited for Wen Jiao’s reply, as if she would end the live stream if Wen Jiao didn’t respond.

Xia Shishi waited for quite a while.

The bullet screen was filled with question marks.

Wen Jiao watched Xia Shishi on the screen. She had her head down, looking anxiously at her phone. Uninformed viewers thought something big had suddenly happened and were speculating in the comments.

In reality, Xia Shishi was just worried that Wen Jiao was getting jealous.

Was she the type of person to get jealous so easily? Wen Jiao pursed her lips and replied with an ‘mm’.

Xia Shishi breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the comments, bypassed the topic, and explained: “I’m not selling anything today. I’m going to visit a friend who is currently filming.”

As Xia Shishi finished speaking, the car arrived in front of her.

She got into the car and briefly introduced Zhou Xiaojiang’s identity. Seeing a question in the comments, Xia Shishi smiled meaningfully: “Yes, a very good friend, helping her gain some popularity.”

On the way to the film set, Xia Shishi answered some of the viewers’ questions.

For example, how to take care of skin and what precautions to take. She was an expert in these areas, so her shares contained a lot of useful information, helping the live stream’s popularity steadily stabilize.

There weren’t many donations, but quite a few people were shouting that they had already placed orders on the official website.

It seemed that selling products was the ultimate path for a streamer.

Xia Shishi kept an eye on the system avatar throughout, confirming the person was still in the live room, and only then did she patiently and good-naturedly answer.

If it weren’t for Wen Jiao.

She probably wouldn’t have so much to say.

Xia Shishi got a taste of the treatment of a female celebrity. She wasn’t overly happy, as she had never treated celebrities as anything important before, only seeing it as a profession.

So, Xia Shishi remained calm until she arrived at the set.
