Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 63. Secretly Getting Married? The Drives-You-Crazy Kind (3)



Zhong Jiaren stood outside the car, lost in silence and an odd feeling. She was still on the call with the men pretending to be thugs. However, she was wearing earphones, so only she could hear Fang Anshuo’s painful groans coming through.

She glanced casually into the car and saw Shen Wan hugging her bag, curled up in the passenger seat. Somehow, she had already deftly fastened her seatbelt without Zhong Jiaren noticing.

Shen Wan seemed to sense that Zhong Jiaren hadn’t gotten in the car. She rolled down the window, cautiously peeking out her head, and called softly, “Jiaren, why aren’t we leaving? It looks so dangerous out here at night. Let’s go home.”

Her fearful and pitiful little face almost made Zhong Jiaren laugh. Had this fool really forgotten about Fang Anshuo?

“Miss Zhong, Fang Anshuo has passed out. We’ve beaten his face into a pig’s head. What should we do now?”

Zhong Jiaren paused, took out her phone, and sent them a brief message: “You can go now. Leave the rest to me.”

Then, Zhong Jiaren ended the call and walked to the car window, folding her arms. “Are you sure you want to go back now?”

“Jiaren, at a time like this, what are you hesitating for? It’s so late, of course we should go home. It’s dangerous out here.” Shen Wan shrank back into the car, not mentioning Fang Anshuo at all.

Zhong Jiaren was somewhat speechless. Wasn’t this fool infatuated with Fang Anshuo? How could she only care about saving herself now, forgetting Fang Anshuo? Perhaps it was because they had only been together for a short time, about three or four months, so they hadn’t developed deep feelings. Also, their plan to secretly get married had already been thwarted by her.

Zhong Jiaren recalled the events of her previous life and finally came up with a reasonable explanation. Shen Wan might not have liked Fang Anshuo that much at first, but that man was too good at deceiving. He first tricked Shen Wan into marrying him and getting pregnant. As the saying goes, pregnancy makes one stupid for three years. After marriage, Fang Anshuo acted so well, being considerate to this fool in every way, which made her fall wholeheartedly in love with him. By the time she learned the truth, Shen Corporation was already under Fang Anshuo’s control, and the fool couldn’t resist much, eventually being driven mad.

In the end, it was all because she was too stupid and had no one watching over her, allowing Fang Anshuo to succeed. Now with her intervention, Fang Anshuo certainly wouldn’t dare do anything to this fool. If Fang Anshuo knew that Shen Wan had forgotten about him to save herself, he might cough up blood.

“Let’s go then.”

Zhong Jiaren’s lips curled into a pleased smile as she opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat. “Now we’ll go home.”

“Okay, Jiaren. Thank goodness you came to pick me up so late.”

Zhong Jiaren glanced at Shen Wan’s pale little face and spoke in an extremely gentle tone, “You may be annoying, but we still grew up together. Mom and Dad have taken such good care of me, how could I bear not to come pick you up? If something happened to you, Mom and Dad would be heartbroken. Don’t go out so late in the future. It’s not safe outside.”

“I understand. This time I’ll listen to Jiaren. It really is very unsafe so late at night.”

Seeing Shen Wan hugging her arms and still looking shaken, Zhong Jiaren smiled broadly. It seemed being born stupid did have some advantages. As for Fang Anshuo, let him stay there for the night. Although he was beaten, it wasn’t life-threatening. Even in the height of summer, being beaten and lying on the ground all night would be very uncomfortable. Fang Anshuo’s discomfort made her mood good, and she happily started the car to take Shen Wan home. She didn’t kindly remind Shen Wan about Fang Anshuo either.

This fool did have some redeeming qualities, like her poor memory.

Shen Wan thought: “188, I feel like Jiaren’s gaze towards me seems a bit gentler. Do you think she suddenly realized that I’m not so bad after all? Although I don’t have much femininity, I’m still pretty and cute. She thinks I’m a bit adorable, right?”

[188 spoke honestly: “Wan Wan, based on my analysis of human facial expressions, I think her smile and gaze aren’t showing tenderness because she finds you cute. It’s more like… she finds you stupid and is showing an expression of amusement.”]

Shen Wan thought: Stupid? Is she stupid? She’s so smart, how could she be stupid?

But after 188’s explanation, as she observed Zhong Jiaren’s expression, she felt more and more that the other was indeed mocking her for being an idiot, a fool. This made her a bit unhappy. She hadn’t complained about her future partner being fierce, yet the other dared to mock her for being stupid.

Shen Wan sat glumly in the passenger seat, hugging her arms. This obvious expression caught Zhong Jiaren’s attention.

However, she was driving now and didn’t have time to deal with it. All the way home, Shen Wan kept frowning, looking very unhappy, which amused Zhong Jiaren greatly.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Wan unfastened her seatbelt, opened the car door and got out, muttering, “I suddenly feel unhappy. I don’t know why.”

“Then get some rest early. You’ll feel better after a good sleep.”

Zhong Jiaren was in a good mood today, and her attitude towards Shen Wan improved considerably. “Go on, get some sleep. I won’t tell Mom and Dad about everything that happened today.” She was referring to Shen Wan stealing the household register.

Shen Wan returned to her room and began her nightly routine.

Zhong Jiaren was a bit curious whether Shen Wan would remember Fang Anshuo. She kept her earpiece in, listening to the sounds inside.

When Shen Wan first returned to her room, there were only rustling sounds, then the sound of running water from the bathroom. Soon after, the bathroom door opened, and she heard the sound of a hair dryer. By this time, Shen Wan still hadn’t remembered Fang Anshuo, which made Zhong Jiaren smile uncontrollably. She was also very curious about how Fang Anshuo would explain things when he contacted Shen Wan tomorrow.

About fifteen minutes later, the hair dryer sound stopped. Just as she was about to remove her earpiece, she suddenly heard Shen Wan talking to herself: “It’s not midnight yet. I’ll play some games before sleeping.”

Zhong Jiaren: “…” She really hadn’t expected Shen Wan to still be in the mood to play games. So, did Fang Anshuo even rank in Shen Wan’s heart?

Then came the sounds of Shen Wan playing games. Zhong Jiaren fell asleep listening to Shen Wan muttering and angrily cursing her “pig teammates”. When she woke up in the morning, she still remembered Shen Wan occasionally shouting, “Pig teammates, don’t steal the jungle, don’t steal the blue buff, are you stupid? The economic difference is so big, and you’re still going in to feed? God, how can there be such teammates? Everyone rushing in one by one, are you the Calabash Brothers saving Grandpa?”

Zhong Jiaren rubbed her eyes. She really hadn’t slept well last night. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Shen Wan would shout, startling her awake. She should have taken off her earpiece, but for some reason, she didn’t. Perhaps she wanted to see when Shen Wan would remember Fang Anshuo.

However, last night had really worn her out. Being startled awake by Shen Wan’s shouts of “pig teammates” from time to time meant she hadn’t slept well at all. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror and her somewhat poor skin condition, she felt a bit annoyed. She had an important meeting at 9 AM today. Although her head was still a bit foggy, she had to wash up, apply makeup, and get ready to leave.

While applying makeup, because she hadn’t slept well, Zhong Jiaren felt that her makeup wasn’t settling well. At this time, she was still wearing her earpiece, through which she could hear Shen Wan’s soft breathing. To hear if Shen Wan might whisper anything to Fang Anshuo, she had also installed a small listening device near Shen Wan’s bed, so Shen Wan’s breathing was very clear.

“It’s good to be stupid. Play games all night, sleep whenever you want.” Honestly, she was a bit envious. She no longer had that luxury. To protect what she cherished, she had to become independent and strong.

After getting ready, before leaving, Zhong Jiaren checked the surveillance footage one last time to see Shen Wan’s position. Seeing her wearing cute anime-patterned pajamas, curled up in bed, sleeping comfortably, she felt inexplicably jealous.

After arriving at the company, Zhong Jiaren became busy, working from then until noon. There was one thing she still wondered about: whether Shen Wan had remembered Fang Anshuo. She opened the surveillance app on her phone and pulled up the footage from Shen Wan’s room, only to find that she was still sound asleep. The corners of her mouth turned down slightly in exasperation. “How can she sleep so much?”

“I wonder how that Fang Anshuo is doing. It seems he hasn’t contacted Shen Wan yet. This fool doesn’t seem to have remembered Fang Anshuo either. How pitiful.”

Just as Zhong Jiaren was about to close the feed, she suddenly saw Shen Wan move and reach for her phone. She quickly put on her earpiece and heard Shen Wan’s phone ringing. On screen, Shen Wan answered the phone with her eyes closed, her sleepy voice coming through, “Hello, who is it?”

“Wan Wan, it’s me. Where are you? How are you?” Fang Anshuo’s voice came through Shen Wan’s phone. He was currently lying in the hospital. It was only this morning when a street sweeper, seeing his bruised and swollen face, had called for emergency help.

He hadn’t expected to spend the whole night lying outside. When he woke up and didn’t see Shen Wan beside him, he frantically asked the old man if he had seen his girlfriend. The old man said he had only seen him lying on the ground with injuries this morning and called for emergency help.

Hearing this, his heart sank, thinking Shen Wan had been taken away by those thugs. His first worry wasn’t for Shen Wan’s safety. Instead, he thought that if Shen Wan had gotten into trouble with him, forget about entering Shen Corporation; he’d be lucky if Shen Zhenshan didn’t skin him alive.

He hurriedly called Shen Wan, “Wan Wan, where are you now?”

“At home, why?”

Fang Anshuo: ???

What did she mean? At home??

“Wan Wan, you’re really at home? When did you go back?”

“When did I come back?” Shen Wan said groggily. “Last night, of course. Jiaren picked me up.”

Fang Anshuo’s eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, “Wan Wan, do you remember what happened last night?”

Zhong Jiaren was also waiting to see how Shen Wan would answer, wondering what her reaction would be when she remembered last night’s events.
