After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 9

This was Xia Shishi’s first time visiting the Wen family…

Before she was killed by the people Zhou Xiaojiang sent, she didn’t have much interaction with the Wen family. After breaking off the engagement with Wen Jiao, she rarely even heard Wen Jiao’s name.

She felt like she and Wen Jiao were two non-intersecting parallel lines, and only after her death did, she realize that Wen Jiao had actually been revolving around her in silence all along.

The Wen family residence was very quiet. The pure white architecture was favored by the sun, and just standing beneath the building gave her a strange sense of daze.

It was as if a gentle female voice was accompanying her, along with the murmuring of the fountain. Xia Shishi nervously clutched the bag in her hand.

This was the first time she had actively come to the Wen family to see her Jiao Jiao. Xia Shishi felt an inexplicable sense of panic deep down.

She pursed her lips. When the Wen family’s servant came to greet her, she quickly reverted to her usual demeanor, expressionless and calm, nodding to the servant, “Please lead the way.”

It wasn’t until she arrived at Wen Jiao’s room that Xia Shishi’s heart truly settled.

She looked at Wen Jiao, who was sitting on the bed, her slender hands resting on the quilt, her lips pursed meticulously. Standing in front of her, Xia Shishi felt even more dazzling than standing under the sunlight.

Her beautiful Jiao Jiao, such an excellent Jiao Jiao.

A bright smile floated onto Xia Shishi’s face as she walked towards her: “My dear, I’ve come for you.”

Wen Jiao looked up at her but said nothing.

Xia Shishi didn’t mind at all. She sat down on the edge of Wen Jiao’s bed and naturally saw the medical equipment placed nearby. Knowing that Wen Jiao was unwell, Xia Shishi felt a pang of heartache again.

Why could someone like her be resurrected, but fate refused to give Wen Jiao a healthy body?

But it didn’t matter. She would stay by Wen Jiao’s side forever and take good care of her.

Zheng He put away the folder in his hand and curled his lips: “Be quiet, don’t disturb Wen Jiao.”

They both thought Xia Shishi would make a scene, but she just nodded: “I know.”

Why wasn’t she making a scene? Shouldn’t Xia Shishi be causing trouble?

They didn’t know what her motive was for specially coming to the Wen family to see Wen Jiao, but shouldn’t she be trying to rouse Wen Jiao from the bed to accompany her?

Zheng He was too shocked, his body trembled slightly. He had originally thought that it would be good if Xia Shishi didn’t upset Wen Jiao. Since Wen Jiao liked her, she would agree to let Xia Shishi stay no matter what.

That’s why he had sarcastically told Xia Shishi to learn to keep quiet. But who was this well-behaved child?

“Could Xia Shishi really be possessed?” Zheng He went back and pondered for a whole night. He whispered this to Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao subtly distanced herself. She didn’t like getting too close to people, even Zheng He, whom she had known for many years.

As for whether Xia Shishi was possessed, Wen Jiao looked over with a pair of cold eyes, and her gaze gradually softened.

No, that was her little girl.

She wouldn’t be mistaken.

No one knew the reason for Xia Shishi’s sudden change. They silently watched as Xia Shishi truly remained silent, just sitting by the bed and looking at Wen Jiao.

When Zheng He leaned over to speak, Xia Shishi even frowned slightly, as if she genuinely disliked Wen Jiao being approached by anyone else.

If she was acting, she was truly excellent at it.

Zheng He didn’t dare to easily believe her. He could only glance at Xia Shishi with a vigilant look, then, fearing Wen Jiao would be deceived, he warned, “Don’t be fooled by her, lest she causes trouble again after we lower our guard.” The harm Wen Jiao would suffer would be greater then.

As long as she didn’t get too expectant, just let her play. As long as she likes it.

Wen Jiao’s eyes dimmed.

Zheng He said his piece and retreated before Xia Shishi got angry: “Guard the door well. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately.”

Xia Shishi pressed her hands together, constantly repeating in her mind: He’s a doctor, he’s a doctor.

No matter how hard Xia Shishi tried to take care of Wen Jiao, she couldn’t master exquisite medical skills in a short time. For Wen Jiao’s health, she couldn’t mess around.

But why did the two of them have to be so close just now? Was there something they said that she couldn’t hear?

Xia Shishi looked at Wen Jiao with a wronged expression: “I wanted to hear you talk too.”

Xia Shishi’s voice was too soft.

As long as she voluntarily showed weakness, Wen Jiao would truly be unable to resist feeling sorry for her.

Especially since this request was not excessive.

“Listen…” to what, Wen Jiao remembered Zheng He’s warning, suppressing the surging joy and excitement in her heart. She gripped the quilt with her fingers, managing to say with a steady tone, “You wouldn’t want to hear it.”

With Xia Shishi’s temper, how could she tolerate hearing someone speak ill of her?

Wen Jiao spoke calmly, but she dared not look directly at Xia Shishi, afraid of revealing the tenderness in her eyes.

Xia Shishi should have made a fuss the moment she heard that sentence. She was about to speak, but her eyes caught sight of the monitor recording Wen Jiao’s heart rate, so she reluctantly pouted.

She had to be quiet, she couldn’t disturb Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao was recuperating. For Jiao Jiao’s sake, she would go find Zheng He privately later.

Xia Shishi didn’t speak further. Instead, she tentatively reached for Wen Jiao’s hand, which was outside the blanket. Wen Jiao’s hand was too cold, so Xia Shishi instinctively tucked her hand into the quilt.

Wen Jiao: “…” The little girl’s palm was so warm.

“I need to work,” Wen Jiao pulled her hand out of the quilt again.

“I’ll work for you,” Xia Shishi blurted out.

Wen Jiao just looked at her.

Xia Shishi’s face blushed with shame: “I will study hard to manage the company and work for you in the future.”

Wen Jiao: “You haven’t graduated yet, what’s the rush?”

Xia Shishi bit her lower lip: “But you already started taking over Wen Group’s affairs when you were in college. I should start learning too.”

The assistant had already brought a laptop into the room. He set up a table for Wen Jiao on the bed and was about to report on the company’s situation when Wen Jiao waved her hand and dismissed him.

Wen Jiao pointed at the laptop, signaling the assistant to report in the group chat.

The assistant was only momentarily stunned before he decisively chose not to disturb them.

After he left, Xia Shishi continued, “My mother often praises you to me.”

To persuade Xia Shishi to marry Wen Jiao, Xia Mom had said many good things about Wen Jiao in front of Xia Shishi. Unfortunately, for every one thing Xia Mom said, Qi Xue could slander Wen Jiao ten times behind her back.

Xia Shishi hadn’t listened then, but now, upon reflection, she realized how amazing Wen Jiao truly was.

Young, with a Master’s degree in Management, and the Vice Chairman and CFO of the Wen Group.

Limitless potential should have been Wen Jiao’s best descriptor.

Wen Jiao didn’t show much reaction. She listened to the little girl say many things and didn’t find it noisy.

Wen Jiao, who had heard countless praises, should have been immune to it, but because the person was Xia Shishi, the corners of Wen Jiao’s lips subtly curved up a few degrees.

However, when her gaze shifted to the legs hidden under the quilt and the occasionally beeping medical equipment beside her.

Wen Jiao finally responded to Xia Shishi: “Because I don’t have much time.”

Because her time was limited, to make this life fulfilling, she rushed to engage with new things.

That was one of the few times she could feel her own worth.

Xia Shishi was different. She had plenty of time left in her life, so why should she work so hard?

She could go out and play with her friends, participate in various campus activities. The smile on her face should always be bright and sunny, without a hint of worry.

Everyone thought Xia Shishi was troublesome, but only Wen Jiao could see her goodness.

Xia Shishi suddenly fell silent.
