Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Shen Wan leisurely folded stars, constantly asking 188 to monitor whether Zhong Jiaren was still watching her. She thought Zhong Jiaren would only watch for a while and then turn off the surveillance, as she had done before.

She hadn’t expected that on this afternoon, Zhong Jiaren would stare at the surveillance from 6:30 PM until 11:30 PM, only taking a break for dinner. During dinner, she thought that when she returned to her room, Zhong Jiaren surely wouldn’t keep watching her. But she had underestimated Zhong Jiaren’s patience.

“188, I’m starting to suspect that Jiaren is falling for me. She’s acting so strangely today, watching the surveillance from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM. If she didn’t have work tomorrow, I bet she’d keep watching all night without sleeping.”

[188 wasn’t sure either. “Perhaps she’s just frustrated, watching you fold stars for Fang Anshuo makes her angry, so she keeps staring at you.”]

Discouraged by 188’s words, Shen Wan decided to ignore him for the whole night. This system that didn’t understand human nature, how could he comprehend the complexity of human emotions? These days, even sworn enemies could fall for each other. Who knows, maybe as Zhong Jiaren kept watching, she had fallen for her?

Fang Anshuo finally got another chance to go on a date and have dinner with Shen Wan. They still went to the restaurant that Shen Wan called “relatively cheap,” enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner. If not for the many dishes placed in front of Shen Wan, this meal would certainly have been romantic and cozy.

But Shen Wan’s appetite ruined the whole atmosphere. No matter how romantic and cozy the ambiance, the scene of the diner sitting to the side, smilingly finishing plate after plate of food, and constantly calling the waiter to bring more, was quite a mood killer.

Fang Anshuo felt awkward, but Shen Wan didn’t care.

She ate comfortably, happily, and at ease. Smiling and taking small bites, neither fast nor slow, she emptied many plates.

Fang Anshuo’s temple throbbed as he watched. If the restaurant staff hadn’t been used to Shen Wan’s appetite, they might have called an ambulance for her.

Having been at this restaurant for over a year, they had never seen a woman who could eat so much. The key was that she didn’t look bloated at all after eating, and they never saw her go to the restroom. They suspected there might be a black hole in her stomach.

Today, Fang Anshuo was in a relatively good mood.

When he went to pick up Shen Wan, besides her handbag, she was carrying what looked like a high-end gift bag. The gift bag wasn’t big, but based on what Shen Wan had given him before, most items came in bags of this size.

He guessed it was probably one of those things from before. He had sneaked a peek earlier and saw there was a box inside. Judging by its size, it could be a tie or a watch. Whatever it was, the small items Shen Wan gave him were worth at least ten thousand yuan, sometimes even tens of thousands. The watch he currently wore was a birthday gift from Shen Wan last year, worth 300,000 yuan.

Counting the days, it had been quite a while since Shen Wan last gave him a gift. This time, she should be giving him something more expensive, right?

Recently, he had been going on dates with Shen Wan every few days, eating out. With her appetite, he had already sold several items. Since last time, his position in the company had lowered, and his rival had taken advantage of the previous project to turn things around, making many connections and surpassing him.

From the boss’s attitude, he could feel the scales slowly tipping towards his rival. Especially recently, as he had been focusing most of his attention on Shen Wan, he wasn’t as dedicated to company matters as before. After being hit so hard, he felt angry and resentful, not really wanting to continue working at that company. So he was eager to marry Shen Wan soon and be arranged into Shen Corporation.

Under Fang Anshuo’s expectant gaze, Shen Wan finally stopped eating. Actually, she had been calculating the value of things in Fang Anshuo’s possession. While Fang Anshuo was eyeing her gift bag, she was eyeing the watch on his wrist. Over 500,000 yuan, which meant she needed to eat even harder. Just eating food wouldn’t be enough.

Shen Wan frowned slightly and said to 188, “Should I often take Fang Anshuo shopping? I could point at things I like and say I want them. Fang Anshuo definitely wouldn’t refuse and would buy them for me.” As Fang Anshuo was painfully settling the bill, Shen Wan rested her chin on her hand, thinking, “How can I make Fang Anshuo understand that marrying a rich young lady isn’t so easy?”

[188 said, “You can keep messing with him. I think he’s about to break.”]

Leaving the restaurant, Shen Wan got into the car, letting Fang Anshuo drive her home.

At this point, Shen Wan said, “Anshuo, I’ve prepared a gift for you. I’ll put it here, you can open it later. I put a lot of thought into it this time, you’ll definitely understand my feelings.”

“I’ll like whatever Wan Wan gives me,” Fang Anshuo, who had just spent a large sum, felt comforted and spoke a hundred times more gently.

“Anshuo will definitely like it when he sees the gift,” Shen Wan said with a smile, placing the gift bag to the side. Then she added, “I’ve received news that my parents will be back in a few days. Anshuo, you need to perform well, you must make my parents agree to our relationship.”

“I will.”

Even without Shen Wan’s reminder, Fang Anshuo would have tried his best to impress the Shen couple with his abilities. He believed his capabilities and appearance were not lacking in any aspect. Coming from a single-parent ordinary family, he had relied on his own abilities to become a department manager in the company, earning at least 30,000 yuan a month. There weren’t many people who could achieve this level just over a year after graduation.

Fang Anshuo dropped Shen Wan off outside the Shen family villa in high spirits. After watching Shen Wan enter, he drove away. He didn’t rush to open the gift, waiting until he got back to his rented room. After taking a shower, he leisurely took out the not-too-big box from the gift bag. With pleasant anticipation, he unwrapped the packaging layer by layer.

Seeing a small paper-folded red heart on the box lid, he smiled.

But when he opened the box lid and took out the transparent glass jar inside, the smile froze on his face.

He thought he had seen wrong, or hadn’t noticed the real gift, so he even turned the box upside down.

But there was nothing else inside, just this transparent glass jar.

The glass jar was filled with colorful five-pointed stars, which were even fluorescent. In the dim light, they emitted various colors, looking quite pretty. They might be pretty, but Fang Anshuo’s expression was far from it.

Was this the carefully prepared gift Shen Wan had sent him?

If not for the good quality of the glass jar, Fang Anshuo’s grip might have shattered it. Even if he couldn’t break it, he wanted to smash the jar now, but the ringing of his phone stopped him.

It was Shen Wan.

The scene of Shen Wan calling Fang Anshuo was silently watched by Zhong Jiaren. Wearing headphones, she heard Shen Wan’s sweet and expectant voice asking Fang Anshuo if he liked the gift she had prepared. Unconsciously, she crumpled her nightgown.

How could that scum Fang Anshuo possibly like it!!

Stars folded from colored paper strips.

You fool!

No matter how carefully you prepared it, it’s impossible for Fang Anshuo to like it. He’s probably complaining about why you didn’t send him some expensive items.

“I like all the gifts Wan Wan prepares.”

Fang Anshuo used all his self-control. Stars folded from colored paper strips, did she think he was still a little boy? Was this rich young lady so sheltered that she never experienced childhood and youth? How could she be so childish?

Shen Wan: “I’m glad you like it. Folding these stars took me several days, my hands even hurt. Hearing you like it makes me feel it was all worth it. Anshuo, do you think the stars I folded are pretty?”

The enduring Fang Anshuo tried hard to make his voice gentle and affectionate, “They’re pretty, very pretty, well folded.”

In his heart: It’s like buying a watch last year! Pretty my ass!!

He had used all the tolerance and patience of his life on Shen Wan.

“Then Anshuo, this is the first gift I’ve carefully prepared, you must keep it safe. If it gets damaged, it would be unlucky for our love.”

Fang Anshuo’s face was about to split, but his tone remained gentle and affectionate: “I will, Wan Wan. I’ll keep it safe, I promise I won’t damage the stars.”

Finally, they ended a conversation that was unpleasant for one and pleasant for the other.

Shen Wan hung up the phone contentedly, lay down and closed her eyes to sleep. She didn’t need to guess that at this moment, Fang Anshuo must be furious but had to carefully put the glass jar in a safe place, then smash other things in the room to vent.

If Fang Anshuo felt uncomfortable, she felt at ease. If Fang Anshuo wasn’t happy, she was delighted. If Fang Anshuo was sad, she was overjoyed.

She didn’t know that her current sweet smile as she slept was fully captured by Zhong Jiaren.

There was no trace of a smile on Zhong Jiaren’s beautiful face as she said, “Do you like Fang Anshuo that much? If you knew his true face, would you still like him?”

She now found Fang Anshuo very disagreeable. So how could she make Shen Wan realize that Fang Anshuo wasn’t sincere at all? He was approaching Shen Wan only for the Shen family, for his so-called revenge.

Zhong Jiaren dialed a number, which was quickly answered: “Miss Zhong?”

“Have you found the person I asked you to investigate?” Zhong Jiaren leaned back in her chair lightly, expressionless, her voice calm but with a hint of authority that made the person on the other end feel a chill. “It’s been two months already.”

“Miss Zhong, we’ve tracked the target’s traces from last month. It shouldn’t take more than half a month to find them. The target is a gambler currently in a lot of debt. While on the run, they’ve been scamming people everywhere, with no fixed abode, which makes them quite hard to find. However, knowing their last known location, we’ve put underground casinos in several surrounding cities under surveillance. Once they appear, we can find them.”

Hearing this, Zhong Jiaren’s brow smoothed out: “That’s good. I’ll wait for your news. When you find the person, be polite to them. All their expenses can be reimbursed by me, but they absolutely cannot slip away. I’ll contact you when I need them.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Zhong. We’ll handle the task you’ve entrusted us with perfectly.” In their line of work over the years, they had never seen such a generous client as Zhong Jiaren. Simple requirements, generous pay, basically no danger, and very straightforward. Of course they would do a good job.

After hanging up, Zhong Jiaren’s low laughter echoed in the room: “I wonder if Fang Anshuo will like this gift. Whether he likes it or not, I’m sure he’ll be very surprised.”

“Now the main thing is to make that fool Shen Wan give up on Fang Anshuo. How can I make that girl give up?” Since she had been reborn, to prevent Fang Anshuo from harming the Shen family, Shen Wan’s fate also needed to be changed. She didn’t like Shen Wan much, thinking she was too stupid to be so easily deceived. For the sake of the Shen couple, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

“If that girl were a bit smarter, things would be much easier.”

Shen Wan, who overheard Zhong Jiaren through the system, sighed to the system: “Am I not smart enough? Why can’t Jiaren see that I’m actually a smart and cute person? Everyone says I grew up eating cuteness. Jiaren’s eyesight must not be very good.”

The speechless 188 thought: To think such a narcissistic person is his host.

“188, is the person Jiaren is looking for Qin Yanming?” Shen Wan recalled Zhong Jiaren’s phone call just now, and her final muttering with an evil laugh about sending a gift to Fang Anshuo. If it was Qin Yanming, they were really thinking alike.

The reason she hadn’t taken action yet was because in the current situation, she didn’t think it was time for Qin Yanming to appear. If he came out too early, it could bring trouble to the Shen family. With his shameless gambler’s face, he might cling to her and Fang Anshuo’s relationship and refuse to let go.

[188: “Yes, it’s Qin Yanming. It seems they’re about to find him.”]

“Then I don’t need to bother with this. I’ll leave it to Jiaren. Now I need to cooperate with Jiaren, realize the scumbag’s true face, and finally repent.”

Shen Wan’s words gave 188 a bad feeling, and sure enough, he heard her say: “188, can you occasionally push some small ads to Jiaren? Push those kinds of stories where a girl from a family doesn’t listen and wants to marry a man with bad character, so the family comes up with a plan. They kick the girl out, let her live with that man for a while, eat bitterness, see his true character, and finally realize how good her family is.”

[188 said lifelessly: “There aren’t many stories like that.”]

“Then make one up. For a system like you, making up a couple of stories should be simple. Can’t you even do this small request?”

[188 compromised: “Alright, I’ll make them up. Ancient ones, modern ones, palace ones, interstellar ones, cultivation ones, stories with all kinds of backgrounds, I’ll make them all up.”]

Who told him this host was his? He had to help even if it meant gritting his teeth. He was still waiting to wear that limited edition skin.

“Then I’m going to sleep. 188, I’ll leave the task of making up stories and inserting small ads for Jiaren to you. Keep the word count within 1000 words, preferably displaying directly on Jiaren’s phone, computer, everywhere, the kind she can scan a few lines at a glance.”

[188: “Got it, I’ll work hard on making up stories.”]

These days, being a simple system was also difficult. He had to urge the host to quickly engage in sapphic activities, help keep watch, endure her ramblings, and now help make up stories and insert small ads. He had really put in too much for this task.

Over the next few days, Zhong Jiaren was plagued by small ads. Opening various browsers would pop up small ad pages. She thought her phone and computer had viruses. Later, after checking, there were no viruses; it seemed to be small ads built into the browser. Browsers these days really had more and more ads, impossible to block.

Apart from the occasional pop-up ads, there was no other impact. During her lunch break, she took a look at what the small ads were about and found they were short stories.

At first, she didn’t pay attention, but after reading one, she fell into deep thought.

The small ads that popped up later were still these short stories. Not too many words, all within 1000 words. After reading them, she would silently ponder for a while. For about half a month, even after the Shen couple returned, Zhong Jiaren had read no less than fifty of these small ad stories.

Shen Wan could feel that Zhong Jiaren’s gaze towards her was becoming increasingly strange, making her feel a bit creeped out.

After the Shen couple returned and learned that Shen Wan still hadn’t broken up with Fang Anshuo, they were clearly unhappy. Miao Yuqing would take every opportunity to talk to Shen Wan, though she didn’t directly order her to leave Fang Anshuo. Instead, she tried to persuade her indirectly, saying she was still young, and if she really wanted to date Fang Anshuo, it wasn’t impossible, but they shouldn’t rush into marriage.

Counting the days, the two had only known each other for a few months. Suddenly one day, Shen Wan came to them saying she wanted to marry Fang Anshuo, which really scared the couple.

Whether or not they understood Fang Anshuo’s background, they didn’t approve of Shen Wan hastily marrying a man she had only known for a few months, acting as if madly in love. Their daughter was young; who knew if this Fang Anshuo had other intentions? If they got to know him for a few more years and their daughter still liked him, they might accept it. In short, they objected because they feared Shen Wan would be taken advantage of, deceived, and hurt.

But Shen Wan still maintained an attitude of marrying no one but Fang Anshuo, giving Miao Yuqing a terrible headache. She blamed herself for spoiling her daughter too much. She and Shen Zhenshan had directed all their strictness towards Zhong Jiaren.

They always thought that when Zhong Jiaren came of age, she would gradually take over everything that originally belonged to the Zhong family. If they weren’t strict, the young girl might not be able to handle situations. As for their own daughter Shen Wan, with both parents alive, they could protect her.

Now it had backfired; this girl didn’t consider anything and insisted on being with Fang Anshuo. She even suspected that Fang Anshuo might have given her some kind of love potion.

Shen Zhenshan didn’t want to talk to Shen Wan at all. Zhong Jiaren watched all this, and strangely, many short stories popped into her mind. Those short stories made her look at Shen Wan more and more oddly.

Seeing the Shen couple’s headache, she couldn’t help but recall everything from her previous life.

However, in her previous life, Shen Wan and Fang Anshuo had secretly gotten their marriage certificate and moved out of the Shen family by this time, living lovingly as a newlywed couple. In this life, with her intervention, Shen Wan and Fang Anshuo’s relationship didn’t seem to have deepened.

She watched Shen Wan every day, so she naturally knew that every time Shen Wan went on a date with Fang Anshuo, she would eat an extraordinary amount. Based on her knowledge of Fang Anshuo’s salary, he couldn’t sustain this and had already started selling the luxury items Shen Wan had given him before.

She hadn’t stopped any of this, nor had she told Shen Wan. In her view, these things shouldn’t have belonged to Fang Anshuo in the first place. How could such an ungrateful person deserve others’ sincerity? Anyway, the money from selling them was all being eaten back by Shen Wan, which was fine.

When Shen Wan gave Fang Anshuo those little stars earlier, he must have been furious.

Although she strongly disapproved of Shen Wan personally folding stars for Fang Anshuo – it would have been better to buy a pack online for 9.9 yuan without shipping – she felt a bit satisfied thinking about how angry it would make Fang Anshuo.

Shen Wan absolutely couldn’t be with Fang Anshuo, but how could she make them separate? As long as Shen Wan gave up on Fang Anshuo, everything would be easy to handle.

The Shen couple also knew about Shen Wan’s sudden increase in appetite. At first, they were extremely worried, but after finding out she was fine and having regular check-ups, they felt a bit more at ease.
