Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Shen Zhenshan and Miao Yuqing felt that something was off about Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren lately.

What exactly was off?

Zhong Jiaren and Shen Wan had grown up together, and initially got along well. But at some point, they drifted apart. Zhong Jiaren and Shen Wan’s interests diverged.

Just recently, when Shen Wan was dating Fang Anshuo, they clearly sensed that Zhong Jiaren disliked Shen Wan. In fact, at that time, they also somewhat disliked their own incompetent, disobedient daughter.

But lately, things were different. The two seemed to be getting along better and better.

On weekends, when Shen Wan came home, if Zhong Corporation didn’t have any major issues, Zhong Jiaren would also take the weekend off.

She wouldn’t go to her own room but would run to Shen Wan’s room.

Or Shen Wan would go to her room, and they’d stay there until mealtime.

At home, wherever Shen Wan was, Zhong Jiaren would be there, and wherever Zhong Jiaren was, Shen Wan would be there.

During meals, Zhong Jiaren would occasionally pick food for Shen Wan, and when Shen Wan wanted more rice, Zhong Jiaren would always do it for her.

After meals, Zhong Jiaren would even place cut fruit in front of Shen Wan. She’d sit beside her, accompanying her as they ate and watched TV.

When did their relationship become so good?

They could understand all this as Zhong Jiaren wanting to take care of Shen Wan, who was a bit younger than her.

However, they discovered that the girls’ unusual behavior wasn’t limited to just this.

They had several sets of necklaces from the same series but different styles, clearly connected at a glance. Stranger still, they always happened to wear pieces from the same series.

The same went for bracelets, anklets, and foot chains.

Recently, they noticed that even their earrings matched.

No, even their rings were almost identical. There seemed to be some letters engraved on them, but they were too far away to see clearly what was written.

And their slippers were the same too.

Their pajamas, needless to say, were from the same series with the same pattern, the only difference being slight variations in style.

It felt odd, inexplicably odd, but they couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Miao Yuqing even had a good talk with Shen Zhenshan about this, but he couldn’t see any problem either.

Shen Zhenshan did think that since Shen Wan would graduate in a couple of years, perhaps it was time to let her start learning at the company. Although he had no hope that she could shoulder the responsibilities of Shen Corporation in the short term, she couldn’t avoid learning these things altogether.

They would eventually grow old, and it would be better for her to understand a bit. No matter how much property they left her, life still had several decades to go. Who knew what things would be like decades later? Sitting idle and depleting resources wasn’t a solution.

Finding an opportunity, Shen Zhenshan brought this up with Shen Wan. Shen Wan, who was munching on an apple, was stunned for a moment. Then she tugged at Zhong Jiaren, who was sitting beside her, and said softly, “Jiaren, you promised, remember?”

188: How impressive!

Zhong Jiaren made a confused sound: “Hm?”

“Didn’t you say before that I could be with you for life, and never have to work for a lifetime? Now my dad wants to throw me into the company, planning to enslave me. Jiaren, at this moment, as my perfect girlfriend, you should step in. When it’s time to act, don’t hesitate. Let my parents know I’m useless and need you to take care of me for life.”

Zhong Jiaren understood and gently patted Shen Wan, nodding, “Don’t worry, I promised I’d support you for life. Any troublesome matters, I’ll handle them.”

Shen Wan: How delightful, she still preferred being useless. Who would want to be as busy as a spinning top when they could be a happy, do-nothing wastrel?

“Dad, I’d rather not go to the company,” Shen Wan looked at Shen Zhenshan pitifully. “Those company matters are so tiring, and I don’t know how to do them.”

Shen Zhenshan frowned, “You need to learn a bit. When your mom and I get old, if you don’t know anything, even with shares in your hands, you’ll easily be deceived.”

Miao Yuqing also nodded quickly. She still hoped Shen Wan could understand a little. Not necessarily to shoulder major responsibilities, but at least to enter the company, have a certain status and say. When they no longer managed things and grew old, she wouldn’t be so passive.

Shen Wan coughed lightly and said, “How about we compromise? I’ll find a capable partner to help me manage the company. What do you think?”

The couple looked at each other, then shook their heads simultaneously.

No matter how good a person is, who knows what they might do to their daughter when faced with such interests, especially after they’re gone?

Being good to their daughter now doesn’t guarantee the future. If she doesn’t manage anything and the company gets hollowed out, who will she cry to then?

Shen Zhenshan said, “Things aren’t as simple as you think. I’m not asking you to really manage the entire Shen Corporation.” That little wastrel didn’t look capable of it anyway. “But you should at least go and understand our Shen Corporation, know the most basic rules in the company. Even if you don’t go to the company every day in the future, you should check on things every six months or a year.”

“You say you want to find a partner to help you manage the company,” Miao Yuqing said worriedly. “Wan Wan, people’s hearts can easily change. No one will willingly help you for a lifetime. Even if this person is sincere at first, they may change later. You’re so easily deceived, with such a naive nature, it’s really worrying.”

After saying this, she glanced at Zhong Jiaren, “Jiaren, you must keep an eye on Wan Wan in the future to prevent her from being deceived. Especially in matters of finding a partner, watch her closely.”

Zhong Jiaren, suddenly called upon and entrusted with such a task, could only smile and nod, saying she would.

Shen Wan’s eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked, “Mom, Dad, do you trust Jiaren that much? Aren’t you afraid she might have a change of heart? Aren’t you afraid that in the future, Jiaren might kick me out and take everything from me?”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Shen Zhenshan couldn’t help but blurt out a curse. “Shen Wan, listen to me. Besides us, the person you can trust most in this life is Jiaren. She won’t deceive anyone. Zhong Corporation was originally much larger than our Shen family. If it weren’t for… never mind. You listen clearly, if you’re unsure about anything in the future, go ask Jiaren.”

“So, you mean Jiaren can be trusted for life?” Shen Wan continued to ask.

Zhong Jiaren lowered her head, took her cup, and drank some water.

She knew what was about to happen, so she needed a sip of water to calm herself and not feel so nervous.

This little drama queen was really something, even tricking her own parents. Who said she was useless? Who said she was naive? Who knew how many tricks she had up her sleeve.

Shen Zhenshan and Miao Yuqing didn’t suspect anything and nodded simultaneously, telling Shen Wan she must trust Zhong Jiaren. As if fearing the two had grown distant, they said many good things about Zhong Jiaren, how she wouldn’t deceive her. In short, they praised Zhong Jiaren as if she were one of a kind, impossible to find even in heaven.

Shen Wan was overjoyed inside, glancing slightly at Zhong Jiaren, who was holding her water cup and pretending to be calm.

Her expression became serious, “Mom, Dad, you don’t need to say more. I trust Jiaren too.”

Mr. and Mrs. Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could fully relax, they heard Shen Wan say, “Since you’re so satisfied with Jiaren, I’m relieved. There’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a while.”

The two didn’t quite understand, feeling that something had slipped out of their control.

“Mom, Dad, you’re right. Jiaren really is a perfect person. She’s beautiful, capable, and the only person besides you that I can trust.”

So?

“As they say, keep the family wealth within. You’re so satisfied with her, and I’m quite satisfied too. So… hehe…”

The couple: Can you say it all at once?

“So, I can confidently tell you this now. Jiaren is my partner, the kind I want to marry in the future. So there’s no need for me to go to the company, right? After all, Jiaren is already handling many things in Shen Corporation now. Managing one company or two is the same, so you might as well let Jiaren manage both. You said earlier that she’s smart and capable, and I can trust her for life, so I’m sure she won’t deceive me.”

“As for me, I really can’t manage a company. I’m only good at eating, drinking, and having fun. Don’t get your hopes up.”

“Mom, Dad, you should be relieved now, right? Jiaren and I are together. She’ll take very good care of me, and you don’t have to worry about me being deceived, right?”

Shen Zhenshan: “……”

Miao Yuqing: “……”

The living room fell silent.

The couple was speechless, completely at a loss for words.

If they were to say they were angry, they weren’t really angry in their hearts. Surprised? Not really surprised either, considering the recent events, they had an inkling.

Why couldn’t they speak?

Because Shen Wan’s speech was practically a copy of what they had just said. They were the ones who said Zhong Jiaren was good, that Shen Wan could trust her for life. Besides them, Zhong Jiaren would definitely not deceive her. It was they who had praised Zhong Jiaren as if she were one of a kind. Now that they had been outmaneuvered, what could they say?

“Actually, I’m not completely useless. Being able to find such a perfect partner as Jiaren is also my ability.”

Shen Wan hugged Zhong Jiaren’s waist, nuzzling against her, looking so happy that it left the couple dumbfounded. They hadn’t realized their daughter could be so shameless.

They really owed Old Zhong an apology. Their little wastrel had actually snagged Old Zhong’s prize cabbage.

Watching Shen Wan link arms with Zhong Jiaren, letting Zhong Jiaren feed her fruit, they were even more speechless. This little wastrel really had some ability. They wondered what Jiaren saw in her.

Yes, the couple wasn’t particularly angry about the two being together.

As for their daughter now liking women, and Zhong Jiaren also liking women, they could accept it. In today’s society, men loving men and women loving women was no different from men and women loving each other. They had lived for decades and seen plenty of such things. They just hadn’t expected it to happen in their own family.

Thinking calmly, given how useless their daughter was, they were actually afraid she might find another Fang Anshuo.

Snagging Zhong Jiaren was lucky.

They trusted Zhong Jiaren very much. Zhong Corporation was originally much larger than Shen Corporation, which was a fact.

Letting Zhong Jiaren manage both Zhong Corporation and Shen Corporation, if the two got married and merged the companies, that wouldn’t be bad. Actually, merging would bring more benefits. All things considered, they weren’t at a disadvantage. The one losing out was Old Zhong’s family.

Miao Yuqing looked at Zhong Jiaren and couldn’t help but ask, “Jiaren, do you really like Wan Wan?” So, what aspect of this little wastrel did you like?

“Jiaren, you need to think this through. You know what Wan Wan has been like since childhood,” Shen Zhenshan said. “If you agree to her and help her manage the company in the future, she’ll take it seriously and then do nothing for the rest of her life, leaving everything to you. A lifetime is very long.”

At their level, they weren’t afraid of strange looks. Strangers might gossip about their relationship at most. Acquaintances, out of respect, wouldn’t dare say anything improper. Their relationship wouldn’t affect their lives much.

Zhong Jiaren nodded, “Mom, Dad, I’m serious. I was just afraid you wouldn’t agree. So, I didn’t dare tell you.”

“Jiaren, you’re a good child. Our Wan Wan is just a bit useless. You’ll have to take care of her for life in the future. Won’t that be tiring?” Miao Yuqing said with some concern. “You’re a girl too.”

Zhong Jiaren smiled and said, “There’s nothing tiring about it. Managing companies comes easily to me, and I enjoy it. I like the feeling of competing in business. Managing one company or two makes no difference. If Wan Wan is by my side, I’ll be happier and more motivated.”

Hearing this, Shen Wan raised her chin, “That’s right, I might not do anything, but I can accompany Jiaren. I can’t cook, but I can bring her food. Not only can I bring food, but I can also tell her jokes. All in all, I’m quite useful.”

“Mom, Dad, don’t be so vulgar. I can also be Jiaren’s spiritual support, very useful.” She pulled out her phone to show them some photos. “Look, these are the charity galas I attended on behalf of Jiaren. Every time, I was the best charity ambassador. This is also something that brings honor to Jiaren.”

“So, can you stop looking at me like I’m useless?”

Miao Yuqing and Shen Zhenshan looked at the photos showing Shen Wan with a bright smile, wearing a red sash diagonally across her body with “Best Charity Ambassador” clearly visible.

What was all this about?

How could their little wastrel be so shameless?

No matter how speechless Shen Zhenshan and his wife felt inside, they ultimately accepted the change in the two’s relationship. Now they were increasingly satisfied with Zhong Jiaren and increasingly felt Shen Wan was shameless.

Shen Wan didn’t care about any of this. Now she could openly hold Zhong Jiaren’s hand at home without fear of arousing suspicion.

Seeing the two being so lovey-dovey, the couple decided to give themselves a vacation and go traveling, leaving everything to Zhong Jiaren.

Being lovey-dovey? They could do that too.

Young people being lovey-dovey all day, what’s the big deal? This was the age for striving.

Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren’s relationship wasn’t deliberately hidden. Soon, people began to notice something from the way they interacted.

There was gossip, of course, but no one dared to say anything outright.

Those who had their eyes on Shen Corporation, seeing these two as a couple, all withdrew their intentions.

With Zhong Jiaren becoming part of the Shen family, what could they do to Shen Corporation? It was wishful thinking.

Not long after Mr. and Mrs. Shen left for their trip, Shen Wan learned through 188 that Lu Lingling, somehow persuaded by Fang Anshuo, had stolen her household registration book and gotten married to him.

A couple of days later, Zhong Jiaren told her that Lu Lingling was pregnant.

After the pregnancy, Fang Anshuo treated Lu Lingling exceptionally well, practically holding her in the palm of his hand. He even bought luxury bags for Lu Lingling one after another, which surprised Shen Wan. Was Fang Anshuo that wealthy?

His monthly salary, without securing any projects, was only 30,000 yuan. A decent, presentable bag would cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

“Jiaren, that Qin Yanming you mentioned before, when will he arrive?” It was a weekend, and the two had planned to go shopping at the mall.

Shen Wan had been hearing 188 relay the exciting developments in Lu Lingling and Fang Anshuo’s life, which left her feeling unsatisfied, so she asked about Qin Yanming.

Zhong Jiaren: “I heard he’s already arrived. I don’t know when he’ll go find Fang Anshuo. Don’t worry, he can’t possibly not go. Fang Anshuo is like a money tree to him now.”

“Alright.” She was just a bit impatient to see Fang Anshuo’s life turn into chaos.

What she couldn’t understand was how Lu Lingling, who was originally quite clever, could be so easily deceived by Fang Anshuo into getting pregnant and secretly getting married with a stolen household registration book.

Just as she was thinking about the two, hand in hand with Zhong Jiaren, they turned a corner and saw Lu Lingling holding Fang Anshuo’s arm at a bag store.

Lu Lingling seemed to have taken a liking to a bag and was talking to Fang Anshuo, apparently intending to buy it.

Zhong Jiaren directly led Shen Wan over, and they overheard Fang Anshuo saying, “Lingling, you can try carrying it first. If you really like it, I’ll go back and ask my friend to mail this model to me. After all, buying from him is much cheaper.”

Lu Lingling frowned, “But I want this bag now, Anshuo. I really like it. Since we’re already here, why don’t we just buy it?”

“Lingling, you’re pregnant now, and we need to save money for the baby. What if we don’t have enough money when the baby is born? Why give more money to these unscrupulous merchants when we can buy it cheaper?”

Fang Anshuo had completely disregarded the sales assistant standing nearby, whose face had turned black.

Unscrupulous merchants? This bag is sold at this price everywhere, it’s the boutique price, understand? She was just a small sales assistant, what could she decide? And these were luxury goods. If you can’t afford luxury goods, go to mass-market brand stores and buy nice, practical bags. Everyone on the street carries those, and no one will mock you.

No money but still putting on airs, men like this are really low and annoying. If you have no money and still want to save face, just leave quickly if you’re not buying.

“Wan Wan, see anything you like?”

Shen Wan had already gone in to look. Zhong Jiaren’s voice startled the couple.

Fang Anshuo and Lu Lingling’s expressions became awkward for a moment. Shen Wan glanced at her and said, “Lingling, how have you been lately?”

“Quite well.” Seeing Shen Wan reminded Lu Lingling of how Fang Anshuo used to buy her bag after bag. She felt extremely upset inside, while also remembering how Shen Wan had praised her for being frugal and a good wife and mother.

“Fang Anshuo really treats you well, even bringing you here to buy bags.” Shen Wan glanced at the bag in Lu Lingling’s hand. “This is the latest model, right? The price isn’t low, 55,000 yuan. That’s almost two months of Fang Anshuo’s salary. Your love must truly be the most sincere, no wonder I was moved by it.”

Shen Wan had already stopped looking at Lu Lingling, her eyes falling on the neat and pretty little bags displayed on the shelves. “You can give up bread for love, but I’m different. I’m an adult now, so I want it all.”

Zhong Jiaren almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. Her Wan Wan saying “I want it all” was really going to be the death of her cuteness. She followed along, accompanying Shen Wan in choosing bags.

Shen Wan picked two from one series. She’d use the cute one, while the more formal and elegant one would be for Zhong Jiaren. They chose from three series, six bags in total.

Of course, Zhong Jiaren was the one who swiped the card.

This series of smooth actions left Lu Lingling and Fang Anshuo somewhat stunned.

Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren each carrying several shopping bags, passed by them. “Take your time choosing. Jiaren and I have already made our selections.”

That smug little look was truly green tea and white lotus.

But Zhong Jiaren liked it. She enjoyed Shen Wan taking her to do things that were dramatic, green tea-like, and very white lotus. It was only when encountering Lu Lingling and Fang Anshuo that she could see this side of Shen Wan. Elsewhere, she rarely saw Shen Wan turn into such a drama queen.

“I was just having Anshuo accompany me to look at styles,” Lu Lingling remembered her image and didn’t want to be looked down upon by Shen Wan. Even though she really liked the bag in her hand, she painfully put it back on the shelf, maintaining a smile on her lips. “I just tried it on, and it is quite nice.”

“If it’s nice, why not buy it?” Shen Wan asked with a smile, which Lu Lingling found extremely irritating.

Lu Lingling struggled to maintain her smile and said frankly, “Anshuo has a friend who’s in the leather goods business, and he also imports these luxury brands. He has a very good relationship with Anshuo, so buying such bags from him is much cheaper.” She stroked her belly. “I’m already carrying Anshuo’s child. We need to think about the baby. We should save where we can. It’s just a bag after all. Besides, why be a sucker and buy expensive from unscrupulous merchants when we can get the same bag for less money?”

Shen Wan glanced at the bag Lu Lingling was carrying and smiled, “So the bag you’re carrying was also bought from Fang Anshuo’s friend?”

“Yes, his friend is quite nice. He gives us the cost price, just 20% of retail.”

Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren exchanged a glance. 20% cost price? Why had they never heard of such a thing? Didn’t they have to pay import taxes? Selling at 20%, they’d probably lose their pants.

[188: “Wan Wan, after my scan, Lu Lingling’s bag should be fake, though it’s quite convincingly made. Looks like the counterfeiters have some skill.”]

As Shen Wan was about to say something, 188’s voice sounded again.

[188: “Wan Wan, a news report just aired on TV saying that a factory specializing in counterfeit luxury bags in a certain city has been busted.”]

Shen Wan: “Brother 8, please transfer that news to my phone. Ah… I feel a bit uneasy if I don’t disrupt Fang Anshuo’s life a little.”

“Lingling, I feel like there’s something off about your bag.”

Lu Lingling frowned, “What’s off about it?”

“I saw the same model before, and it seems a bit different from yours. Could it be that Fang Anshuo was deceived by an acquaintance?” Shen Wan had already noticed Fang Anshuo looking panicked and about to pull Lu Lingling away, so she quickly said, “I just happened to see a news report about counterfeit goods.” She took out her phone. “Look, it even shows counterfeit bags of various luxury brands, all looking quite convincingly real.”

Lu Lingling looked and felt her heart skip a beat.

Fang Anshuo’s eyes showed even more panic, especially when he saw that address. He couldn’t help but recall the fake bag manufacturer he had contacted online, who seemed to be at this very address. Every time packages were mailed to him, they came from this place.

“That has nothing to do with mine.” Lu Lingling still didn’t believe it. She pulled Fang Anshuo away.

Shen Wan silently put away her phone, resting her chin on Zhong Jiaren’s arm. “Jiaren, why hasn’t Qin Yanming come yet?”

“Don’t be impatient. Let’s go eat first. Perhaps while we’re eating, Qin Yanming will go find them.”

After returning home, Lu Lingling asked Fang Anshuo to order that bag for her.

Fang Anshuo naturally went to contact that boss. Sure enough, the phone was turned off, and contacting the customer service became a dead number. His face changed instantly.

Just as he didn’t know how to deal with Lu Lingling, there was a knock at the door of their rental apartment.

Lu Lingling went to open the door and saw a weathered-looking man, appearing to be around fifty years old.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“I’m here to find my son.” Qin Yanming forcefully pushed the door open and walked straight in. “You must be my daughter-in-law Lu Lingling, the Lu family’s young lady? My son is Fang Anshuo, he took his mother’s surname.”

Qin Yanming walked into the room, looking around. Finally, he sat on the sofa, rudely grabbing a pear to munch on. “Where’s Fang Anshuo?”

Zhong Jiaren, who was eating, received a message: Miss Zhong, Qin Yanming has arrived at Fang Anshuo’s home.

“Wan Wan.”

Shen Wan looked up, “Calling me so intimately? Are you going to feed me? Come on then.”

Zhong Jiaren smiled broadly, first feeding Shen Wan a bite of food before saying softly, “Qin Yanming has gone to find Fang Anshuo. He’s at his home now. Are you happy?”

“Of course I’m happy.”

Happy that Fang Anshuo won’t have any good days from now on.

“Wan Wan, my birthday is coming up in a few days.” Zhong Jiaren didn’t even want to hint subtly and asked directly, “Have you prepared any birthday gift for me?”

“What do you want?” Shen Wan was thinking about what to give.

There was one thing Zhong Jiaren had always been hung up about. “I want little stars, you know, the ones folded from colored paper strips. I want you to fold them for me, more than you gave to Fang Anshuo.”

“Jiaren, are you jealous?” Shen Wan realized and kissed Zhong Jiaren’s face, saying, “Although the paper stars I gave Fang Anshuo were bought online for ten yuan with free shipping, I’ll fold them for you since you want them.”

Zhong Jiaren was slightly stunned: “Ten yuan with free shipping?”

“Yes, did you think I would personally fold stars for him? He wishes.” Shen Wan said proudly, “Even ten yuan was a waste.”

Zhong Jiaren didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Jiaren, how many do you want? Ninety-nine or nine hundred and ninety-nine?”

“As long as you fold them, even one is enough.”

“That’s too easily satisfied.”

“Then how about you fold one for me every day, for a lifetime. How’s that?”

“Alright.”
