Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 61
Chapter 61
Although the eldest daughter was more than willing to accept Cen Xia’s motivational therapy, she was still weak. Every time she tried to stand up, she would collapse softly in less than three seconds because her legs couldn’t bear the weight.
But on the bright side, her mindset was much better than before, and she was willing to practice again and again.
Cen Xia would encourage her, holding her by the waist and letting her put her feet on top of her own, dragging her along. This way, Jiwanching felt more like a toddler learning to walk. There was no pressure, and she was very happy.
After a practice session, Jiwanching was sweating profusely. Cen Xia carried her into the bathroom, massaging her leg muscles as she bathed her.
After her workout on the ground, Jiwanching was now forced to exercise in the water. She was like a little fish, swimming around smoothly…
Not only did Cen Xia tease her, but she also asked, “Sister, does it feel good?”
Jiwanching’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She didn’t want to talk to her.
Cen Xia said, “I want to hear Sister sing.”
Jiwanching bit her lip and glared at her.
But she really wanted to hear her sing. She sincerely hoped that as her legs recovered, her voice would too. She wanted to see her shining on stage again.
After the bath, Cen Xia pushed her to the mirror to dry her hair. In her light pink pajamas, she had a graceful figure. Although the physical therapy had been tiring these past few days, her complexion was much better than before.
Cen Xia picked up a strand of her hair and wrapped it around her fingertip. The blowing wind carried a warm, fragrant scent.
Jiwanching squinted like a little cat, enjoying her owner’s touch.
When the blowing stopped, she put away the hair dryer and rested her chin on Jiwanching’s neck from behind. “I want to hear Sister sing. Can Sister sing for me, please?”
Ciwanching felt ticklish from her rubbing. She wanted to agree, but so far, she could only manage to stutter a few complete words. Singing required a high level of vocal ability, and she couldn’t do it.
Even so, she still wanted to tease this little fool.
She turned her head slightly and pointed a finger at the side of her own face.
Cen Xia instinctively leaned in, gave her a small kiss, and looked at her with an expectant expression.
Jiwanching moved her finger to her lips.
Cen Xia did as she was told. Her star-like eyes were sparkling as she stared at Jiwanching’s throat.
Jiwanching pointed to the music room and spread her arms, signaling for her to be carried.
Cen Xia carried her, rubbing and kissing her all the way. By the time she put her on the piano stool, she was the one who was nervous.
Jiwanching touched the piano strings. The melody flowed from her fingertips and then stopped abruptly. She turned her head and looked at Cen Xia.
Cen Xia looked serious. When she saw Jiwanching looking at her, she couldn’t help but praise her, “This is the first time since she became a diva again that she has come back to the stage. Xiaxia is the luckiest fan of them all. Xiaxia is very happy.”
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke the last few words of the simple praise.
Jiwanching felt a pang of sadness, but she didn’t show it. She tucked her long hair behind her ear and placed her hands on the piano strings, but she didn’t make any further moves.
Cen Xia thought she was preparing and didn’t rush her. She just stood there attentively, her eyes fixed on Jiwanching’s throat and hands.
Half a minute passed, and Jiwanching finally turned her head.
Cen Xia was about to say that it was okay when she heard Jiwanching ask her in a slightly scolding voice, “Why aren’t you taking a picture of me? I’ve been posing for a long time.”
Cen Xia chuckled and quickly took out her phone, ready to take a picture.
Jiwanching’s gaze fell on the piano strings, and she resumed her previous pose.
Cen Xia used the back camera and took several shots. After she was done, she showed her the photos and said, “Should I record a video for you when you start, Sister?”
Jiwanching took the phone and swiped a few times. She looked up, her face filled with confusion. “Start… what?”
Cen Xia’s eyes widened for a moment. She then realized and seriously reminded her, “Singing? Sister promised to sing for Xiaxia. You took the kiss, so you’re not going back on your word, are you?”
Jiwanching denied it, “You kissed me on your own. When did I promise to sing for you?”
Her voice was light and airy, but every word was full of teasing and mischief. It was so bad.
Cen Xia’s eyes widened. She pretended to be angry and argued with her, “Jiwanching, you tricked me!”
Jiwanching squinted her eyes and smiled. The curve of her lips was beautiful, filled with unconcealed sweetness and happiness. It was as if she was deliberately provoking her, or reminding her that it was time to do something.
Cen Xia pounced on her, wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and held her tightly in her embrace. Then, she put her red lips close to Jiwanching’s ear and deliberately lowered her voice, “Maybe Sister forgot. It’s okay. We can remember it together.”
As she spoke, she started to move.
Jiwanching’s body recoiled, and she groaned in a muffled voice. After a while, she started to beg for mercy, “Xiaxia, I was wrong…”
Cen Xia didn’t stop. She asked with a mischievous smile, “Did Sister remember?”
Jiwanching just managed to say “remem” when she was teased again. She let out a soft groan from her throat. Her voice trembled as she called out, “Xiaxia…”
Cen Xia asked again, “Did Sister remember?”
Jiwanching’s fragile body couldn’t handle such pleasure. She begged for mercy repeatedly, “I… I remember, Xiaxia… please, let me go…”
Cen Xia took advantage of the last few seconds to tease her a few more times, and then finally stopped. She kissed her reassuringly, pushed back her messy hair, and looked at her eyes filled with tears, smiling. “Shall we begin, Diva Ji?”
Jiwanching parted her lips. Her voice was hoarse and low, almost like a whisper, “Didn’t we… just sing?”
Cen Xia: “…”
She was speechless.
After that, the two of them went back into the bathroom to get cleaned up. When they came out, Jiwanching, to get revenge, pulled Cen Xia to the head of the bed and seriously said she would sing for her.
Cen Xia once again straightened her posture. But then, Jiwanching took out her phone, opened a music player, and played one of her old songs, just mouthing along.
Cen Xia was so annoyed that she gave up. The two of them messed around in bed for a while. In the middle of it, Jiang He called, saying that her house arrest was over and she was free to move around. She asked Cen Xia when she had time to go to the Cen family with her.
She hated those parents and wanted to get justice for her Xiaxia.
Cen Xia felt the same way. Although she didn’t know where the original host’s body was, she really wanted to tear up that evil couple.
Cen Xia looked at Jiwanching. Jiwanching nodded in agreement. She and Jiang He made a deal. After they had set a time, she remembered to ask Jiang He why she was suddenly released.
Jiang He laughed and said that the security at the Ji family was too tight, and the old man couldn’t get anywhere with his tactics. He got angry and took it out on her. They had a good talk, and she finally convinced him to stop targeting Jiwanching.
In the end, Jiang Yiye still loved his granddaughter and couldn’t bear to see her suffer. He didn’t have much of an opinion of Jiwanching herself; he was just angry.
With Jiang He’s clever guidance, he now focused all his energy on finding the real culprit and no longer targeted the Ji family. He even agreed to hand over the company’s smart IoT business back to her.
Without the Jiang family’s targeting, the Ji Corporation’s development was even smoother. With Tang Shaoyun looking after the company, Jiwanching could recuperate in peace. She would just participate in important meetings and give her advice. She was arguably the most relaxed CEO of all.
Cen Xia and Jiang He went to the Cen family together after the judgment of the Cen family’s parents came down. Grandpa Jiang, who couldn’t destroy the Ji Corporation, showed no mercy to the Cen family. Not only did he sue them, but he also destroyed the core business of the Cen family.
The couple now had a lot on their plate. They had to deal with company matters and legal issues. Their partnership with the Ji Corporation’s new base had also been severed, leaving them with a mess to clean up.
Cen Xia and Jiang He went straight to their door. The elderly maid at the house tried to stop them. Cen Xia said, “I’m bringing my friend home. Are you going to stop me, Auntie?”
The two of them naturally walked into the original host’s room to look for any traces she had left before her marriage.
The Cen family’s parents received the news and rushed back from the company. Cen’s mother scolded the servants, “Where are they? You useless people, why didn’t you stop them!”
The maid was about to explain when she saw Cen Xia standing on the stairs with her arms crossed. She asked coldly, “What? Am I not allowed to come back?”
Cen’s mother quickly put on a smile. “Xiaxia, my child, why didn’t you say you were coming back?”
Cen Xia looked her up and down with a cold face and said nothing.
Cen’s father felt that the situation was not good, so he spoke directly, “What are you doing here?”
Cen Xia gave a sarcastic laugh and said, “I’m here to take over the family business. Otherwise, when you two go to jail, someone has to inherit this small family business left by the older generation, right?”
Cen’s father was angry. He stepped forward and scolded, “Cen Xia, don’t go too far.”
Cen’s mother pulled him back, giving him frequent glances. She felt that the current Cen Xia was a little out of their control.
Before, she was a timid and well-behaved person. She listened to whatever they said. After she took the medicine, she became a puppet. After she married into the Ji family, they didn’t interact much with her. They only saw her briefly at the hospital when the incident happened and didn’t notice anything unusual.
Now, she clearly felt a sense of malevolence in her, and she could explode at any time.
Cen Xia said, “What, Father, do you want to hit me? Haven’t you had enough lawsuits lately? Grandpa Jiang didn’t put you two in jail. Do I, your daughter, have to do it myself? That would be very unfilial!”
The Cen parents were so angry they were about to explode. Cen Xia glanced at the room and shouted, “Jiangjiang, are you done packing? Hurry up! I’m about to be abused by my family!”
Jiang He replied, “Coming, almost!”
Cen Xia urged, “Hurry up! I don’t have any skills to protect myself. I can’t beat them!”
Jiang He came out with a bunch of bags. “It’s okay. I can help you call the police.”
The two of them carried the bags downstairs. Cen’s father tried to stop them, but Cen’s mother pulled him back. Cen Xia walked over to Cen’s father, raised her hand, and made a throat-slitting gesture, threatening, “Old man, you’d better be careful. I’ll come for you in the middle of the night!”
Cen’s mother: “?”
Jiang He: “…”
The two of them walked out of the Cen family’s house in a grand manner. Jiang He almost died laughing. She said, “Cen Xia, you’re a real character! How did you do that?”
Cen Xia smiled, looking a little smug. “I’m good at handling this kind of thing. My parents once hired someone to take my kidney. I’ve been bullied so many times that I have experience with this!”
She seemed completely unfazed by her experience, acting like a seasoned veteran.
Jiang He was silent for a moment.
Cen Xia looked at her and asked, “Does General Manager Jiang pity me?”
Jiang He shook her head. “No. You have Jiwanching. You’re not worthy of my pity!”
Cen Xia “mhmm”-ed. When she heard the name “Jiwanching,” the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up. Then, she felt a little bit of guilt.
She looked at Jiang He and asked, “What kind of person was your Xiaxia?”
Jiang He’s expression changed from a smile to a serious one. When she thought of her Xiaxia, a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
She recalled and described, “She was the gentlest girl in the world. She was like the sun in winter, giving her warmest light to others…”
As she spoke, tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes.
Cen Xia listened in silence and didn’t offer any comfort. After she finished, Cen Xia slowly said, “Let’s try to use memory fragments to wake her up. I’ll talk to Jiwanching when I get back, and you can make a detailed plan. I’ll follow your arrangements.”
She knew that to be with Jiwanching with a clear conscience, she had to face everything that was to come, regardless of the outcome…
