After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 90

Xia Shishi pushed Wen Jiao upstairs. It wasn’t until she reached the door and fumbled for her keys that she realized her phone had chimed over a dozen times.

Wen Jiao glanced over. “Is that a message from Zhou Xiaojiang?”

Xia Shishi freed a hand, tapped it open, and indeed, it was. The sheer number of words was almost long enough to be a short essay.

She didn’t have time to read it carefully. She used the key to open the door and guided Wen Jiao inside.

After closing the door, Xia Shishi finally said, “I want her to feel a sense of crisis.”

Wen Jiao found this amusing. “You want Zhou Xiaojiang to feel a sense of crisis?”

Xia Shishi pretended not to hear, placed the keys on the shoe cabinet in the entryway, and walked toward the living room, fanning the air in front of her as she went.

“Why does it smell so sour? Even if we were using lemons to eliminate odor, this is too sour.”

Sour, really sour.

She opened the window to air out the room.

Turning back to Wen Jiao, she saw that Wen Jiao had already expertly found her crutches and was supporting herself as she walked to the sofa to sit down.

Xia Shishi then explained, “Zhou Xiaojiang and Fu Yunhan being together is a disaster for us. You know how much Zhou Xiaojiang loves giving people advice behind the scenes.”

Wen Jiao certainly knew; she had overheard it several times.

But there was one thing she couldn’t understand: Xia Shishi could clearly cut ties with Zhou Xiaojiang and her group, so why was she so fixated on breaking them up?

Xia Shishi sat down and thought for a moment. “Zhou Xiaojiang definitely has ideas. Whoever utilizes them well can make money.”

And, in her previous life, she and Wen Jiao were broken up by Zhou Xiaojiang. She had to get revenge for that humiliation; she had to break up this couple as well.

“Fu Yunhan has fallen this far, his collapse is inevitable. He and Zhou Xiaojiang are destined not to be together anyway. So I need to let Zhou Xiaojiang know that she can only rely on me to survive.”

Xia Shishi lowered her eyes.

She wasn’t as vicious as Zhou Xiaojiang, who would directly take a life.

But her revenge lay in making people live to atone for their sins: making Qi Xue bear massive debts and forcing Zhou Xiaojiang to repeatedly apologize to her and earn money for her for the next decade.

As for Fu Yunhan, with shareholder dissatisfaction and declining company revenue, Xia Shishi didn’t need to worry about him. Once Wen Jiao’s body recovered and she officially became the successor, he would naturally be finished.

The problems seemed to have all been resolved.

With her and Wen Jiao entering into marriage, there was nothing left to worry about. The joy of finally and firmly grasping that happiness made Xia Shishi feel slightly in a daze.

The past that had entangled her had vanished into thin air, as if at this moment, Xia Shishi had truly been reborn.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she found Wen Jiao’s hand had already slipped under her clothes.

Wen Jiao also lifted her leg and pinned Xia Shishi down.

“It’s certainly different now that you can move your legs,” Xia Shishi said, pushing away Wen Jiao’s hand. She said sternly, “Madam, please respect yourself. Before you stands the future hope of the motherland, a student who has yet to graduate.”

“We’re both college students,” Wen Jiao emphasized the word “college.”

The fruits are plentiful, why not harvest them?

Should she wait until they were completely ripe, dripping with juice when she took a bite? Wen Jiao couldn’t wait.

With her legs mobile, things were truly different. Before, she had to lure Xia Shishi close and then restrain her with her hands, from which the other party could easily escape with a slight struggle.

Now, she could use her leg to pin Xia Shishi down, holding her whole body pressed into her embrace. Escape was impossible.

All that focused training—wasn’t this the moment she was striving for?

Wen Jiao leaned in and kissed her. “Xia Shishi, you belong to me.”

The adoration in her eyes was so intense, as if she wanted to dismantle every one of Xia Shishi’s bones and savor them.

Xia Shishi shivered under the gaze, and every sensation in her body flared up. What followed were kisses on the cheeks and various forms of provocation. Xia Shishi tried to lift her hand to fight back, but Wen Jiao grabbed it and pinned it back down.

Wen Jiao had her leg clamped between Xia Shishi’s, more secure than any shackles.

The once-timid rabbit didn’t want to run; she only knew how to foolishly lean in. It wasn’t until the sickly fox regained its fangs that, when caught in its jaws, the rabbit realized something terrible was happening.

She was going to die. She was really going to die. Xia Shishi thought in fear, yet her body was constantly welcoming the attention, practically screaming for more.

Die, she thought. At least it will be a relief.

Tears welled up in Xia Shishi’s eyes. “You said you wouldn’t let anyone touch you before.”

Wen Jiao lovingly soothed her. “Didn’t I let you touch me back? I can give it back to you tenfold. You can touch anywhere you want.”

Xia Shishi’s moist eyes looked at Wen Jiao. She tentatively raised her hand, but Wen Jiao pressed it back down.

Liar, she still wouldn’t let her touch.

Wen Jiao’s hands were always very strong, because when her legs couldn’t move, she had to rely more on her hands to do things.

Now that she could pin her down with her legs, her hands were still powerful. It wasn’t fair.

She bit Wen Jiao’s wrist, grinding her small, sharp teeth. Being loved so intensely by Wen Jiao felt amazing, but sometimes, when it was too overwhelming, she would have the urge to reciprocate.

It was only then that the foolish girl realized it was too late; there was simply no chance.

“If I could go back in time, I would definitely bully you back.”

“Don’t go back,” Wen Jiao pinned her down. “Isn’t it nice to just stay by my side? Let me see you whenever I want, let me know that the person I love most is right here next to me.”

Xia Shishi thought of something, and her tears fell even harder.

She quietly sobbed, no longer biting Wen Jiao, and precariously held onto Wen Jiao just to feel the strength in her body.

She felt like she was constantly drifting and swaying in the water, almost believing that control over her body was no longer her own.

The next day, when the sun rose, Xia Shishi was sore all over.

Fortunately, she finally didn’t have a morning class today. Seeing that Wen Jiao was still asleep, she angrily scooted over and lay on top of her, planning to get revenge for Wen Jiao pinning her down for so long yesterday.

She thought Wen Jiao would wake up quickly when she was pressed down, but she waited for a while, and Wen Jiao was still sound asleep.

Xia Shishi wanted to wake her up. Her hand was already stretched out above Wen Jiao’s nose, but she pulled it back.

It was only then that she remembered she needed to reply to Zhou Xiaojiang’s message.

Zhou Xiaojiang had been anxious for a whole day.

She organized many things to say, and after composing her thoughts, she sent them to Xia Shishi, hoping to be forgiven.

The Xia Shishi of the past might have forgiven her.

Now, who knew?

Xia Shishi didn’t look at the essays. She simply sent a message to Zhou Xiaojiang: “Don’t worry, I will fulfill the contract.”

“I am not someone who goes back on her word.”

Best friends for life? She had said that to Zhou Xiaojiang many times before, and Zhou Xiaojiang always replied okay again and again. Their relationship was so close that all of Xia Shishi’s former friends knew about it.

She had given Zhou Xiaojiang so many things and even pulled her into the group chat—these were things people did for friends.

After taking everything, Zhou Xiaojiang had pushed Xia Shishi into the abyss.

If it hadn’t been for that tiny bit of light in her life, how would Xia Shishi have gotten back up and returned the favor?

She only said she would fulfill the contract, but she still didn’t give Zhou Xiaojiang a clear answer on how she would fulfill it.

Would Zhou Xiaojiang regret signing the contract at this point? Would she turn around and go back to Fu Yunhan?

Xia Shishi sneered, then opened the group chat for her former “sisters.” After sharing the embarrassing incident about Fu Yunhan yesterday, the group chat had fallen silent again.

They probably had other group chats behind her back, but Xia Shishi didn’t know or care.

She knew that if she sent a message now, those people would still reply.

“Look at the bag this female streamer posted online,” Xia Shishi messaged.

The replies from the other “sisters”:

“It’s only a bit over 100,000 yuan, it’s nothing special.”

“I stopped buying that brand a long time ago. They were exposed for a senior executive insulting woman.”

“Earning money from women while looking down on wealthy women and implying that the people who buy the bags are mistresses… do they really think we are that foolish?”

“Shishi, you don’t actually… like that style, do you?”

Xia Shishi found this group of superficial friends to be quite agreeable and sent another message: “I was just commenting on the fact that Fu Yunhan gave the streamer a bag like this, and the streamer happily accepted it.”

Xia Shishi waited for a moment after sending the message.

As expected, this was the moment to tag the ex for public embarrassment.

That’s what you get for not being true sisters, but instead, scheming behind each other’s backs.

Zhou Xiaojiang sent a string of ellipses, indicating that she was clearly very tired. After sending it, Zhou Xiaojiang privately messaged Xia Shishi, still trying to salvage the situation, but Xia Shishi gave her no opportunity and turned off her phone.

She looked up and found Wen Jiao had been watching her for a while.

Xia Shishi: “Why are you looking at me?”

Wen Jiao: “You haven’t washed your face yet.”

Sister, your focus is a little odd.

“You haven’t washed your face, and yet you’ve been pressing down on me for so long. You didn’t even notice I woke up,” Wen Jiao furiously condemned Xia Shishi’s various inhumane behaviors.

After finishing her condemnation, she hugged Xia Shishi, flipped over, and then side-hugged her. “Sleep with me for a little longer.”

Xia Shishi looked helplessly at the ceiling, wondering where the silent, sleep-deprived Wen Jiao of the past had gone.

In the end, she still had to go to class.

To prevent any marks from being exposed, Xia Shishi wore a sun-protective top and didn’t take it off even indoors.

Everyone assumed it was a beauty’s way of maintaining her skin, and no one commented.

This was good.

Her pleasant mood began to dissipate the moment Meng Gui walked over. Xia Shishi couldn’t figure out why Meng Gui would be looking for her, and since it was hard to hide in the classroom, she could only look over nonchalantly.

Meng Gui had come to discuss the school anniversary celebration with Xia Shishi. “I heard from the student council that you’ve arranged for a celebrity to perform.”

Xia Shishi remembered.

She had previously arranged for Zhou Xiaojiang to perform at the school anniversary to prevent her from meeting Fu Yunhan, but who knew that Fu Yunhan would walk in and do the work for her, saving her a lot of effort.

However, she had already told someone about this, which was why Meng Gui was asking.

It was still not too late to regret it. Anyway, Zhou Xiaojiang and Fu Yunhan truly couldn’t interact anymore.

Xia Shishi thought about it. “Yes.”

She decided it was still best to let Zhou Xiaojiang come, as that would be the only way to resolve Meng Gui’s situation.

About the events of the previous life.

She accidentally injured Meng Gui’s hand the following year. At the time, Xia Shishi was distracted by various problems, and Zhou Xiaojiang hadn’t been fully exposed yet. She kindly suggested Xia Shishi attend the school event to relax.

Coincidentally, Meng Gui was also at that event. Unlike others, she didn’t look down on Xia Shishi, but at the time, Xia Shishi didn’t notice any of that.

Later, Zhou Xiaojiang ran over to find her.

At that time, Zhou Xiaojiang had already gained some fame in the entertainment industry. Students quickly recognized her and went up to talk, which accidentally led to an incident where Zhou Xiaojiang fell to the ground.

Xia Shishi kindly went over to help her up, but somehow, she was dragged by Zhou Xiaojiang and rolled several times on the ground. They kept rolling until they reached Meng Gui, with no intention of stopping.

The most dangerous part was that if they continued to roll, they would hit a rock, which could have been disastrous.

Meng Gui could have ignored them, but she still stretched out her hand to stop them. When she blocked them, her hand was directly under Xia Shishi, and a sharp object immediately stabbed into Meng Gui’s index finger. This might not have been serious for an ordinary person, but for a pianist, it was a fatal injury.

The next day, the incident made the news.
