Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Long after Qiao Xinzhen had been taken away, Ji Meng finally came to her senses. During this time, Shen Wan had been sitting with her at the edge of the flower bed. Ji Chensi and the bodyguards also stood nearby.

Ji Meng fully regained consciousness and found Shen Wan staring at her intently with a cute face. She felt compelled to take out her small mirror and examine herself carefully, confirming there was nothing dirty before asking, “What are you looking at?”

“Looking at a little beauty. I never imagined there could be such a beautiful person in this world,” Shen Wan said, compliments flowing freely from her small mouth. Her voice wasn’t soft, and Ji Chensi, the driver, and bodyguards heard clearly.

This time, they didn’t think Shen Wan seemed like an idiot. Instead, they found this little girl somewhat adorable. If Shen Wan hadn’t discovered Qiao Xinzhen’s appearance in time and stopped her, who knows what might have happened?

Ji Meng asked, “Who’s the little beauty?”

“Little Meng, look in your little mirror. The little beauty is right there. With features as beautiful as a painting, skin fair and rosy, anyone who sees you would praise you,” Shen Wan replied, taking out her phone and opening the mirror function. She handed it to Ji Meng, saying, “I have the little beauty’s image here too. Look, isn’t she beautiful?”

Ji Meng first looked in her small mirror, naturally seeing herself. Then she looked at Shen Wan’s phone screen, where she appeared again. With Shen Wan repeatedly calling her a little beauty, she truly confirmed that what she saw was indeed a little beauty.

“Are you mesmerized by the little beauty in the mirror?”

Ji Chensi had always been uneasy, precisely because Ji Meng didn’t cry or make a fuss, which worried him more. Perhaps because this child had lived with Qiao Xinzhen until she was five, she developed the habit of never telling anyone no matter how she was bullied. Back then, he had given Qiao Xinzhen so much money, enough for her to live comfortably for life. Considering she had given birth to the child, apart from not marrying her, he certainly wouldn’t mistreat her.

As long as her demands weren’t too excessive, he could satisfy her with a large villa and luxury goods. He thought Qiao Xinzhen should be content with such a life and would treat her own daughter well. He occasionally visited Little Meng, and although she seemed a bit frail, she was pretty and well-behaved, unlike those annoying children he’d encountered. She would sweetly call him “Daddy,” and he thought Qiao Xinzhen had taught her to be obedient.

He never imagined the real situation was completely different from what he thought.

Managing such a large financial group, he inevitably overlooked these things, which became his biggest regret. If he had discovered it earlier, Little Meng’s condition might not have been so severe. The year he brought Little Meng back, he asked if anyone had bullied her. She shook her head and very obediently said, “Daddy, no one bullied Little Meng. Little Meng is very good.”

Later, he found a way to make Little Meng happy. She loved pink, and anything pink would make her face light up with a smile. When her cute, delicate little face smiled, it melted his heart.

He tried to guide Ji Meng to tell him how Qiao Xinzhen had treated her, but without success. Every sentence was about how no one bullied her, she was very good, there were no bad people, and mommy was nice. Now she no longer said mommy was nice, but Qiao Xinzhen’s influence was still significant. The psychological shadow Qiao Xinzhen cast over Little Meng made her unconsciously listen to her every time she appeared, which was why Little Meng was so easily called out by Qiao Xinzhen this time.

He didn’t dare guide Ji Meng to say anything more, and he wasn’t sure what role Qiao Xinzhen played in Ji Meng’s heart. So at the time, he didn’t do anything to Qiao Xinzhen, just sent her away. If he had anticipated today’s events, he should have sent Qiao Xinzhen to a mental hospital back then. Little Meng was still young at that time, and using the excuse of Qiao Xinzhen’s mental instability wouldn’t have had much impact.

The fact that Little Meng didn’t stop him from taking Qiao Xinzhen away today showed that while Qiao Xinzhen might be important in her heart, it wasn’t the kind of importance he had imagined.

Shen Wan was observing Ji Meng’s reactions, as was Ji Chensi. He wasn’t comfortable leaving now. Taking her back directly wouldn’t be advisable either. His hope was that one day Ji Meng could truly integrate into society and make more friends.

After confirming she was beautiful, Ji Meng took out her phone to look through it. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Shen Wan, seeming about to speak. Everyone tensed a bit; the current Ji Meng seemed much more normal.

“Shen Wan, aren’t you going to class? You’re skipping,” Ji Meng said very seriously. “You’re actually skipping class. Aren’t you a good student? If you don’t place in the top three this semester, you won’t get a scholarship. Don’t come crying to me then.”

Shen Wan thought: She skipped class for whom? Doesn’t Little Meng’s conscience hurt?

Shen Wan’s face turned red from holding back. This Little Meng, couldn’t she save her some face? Was it really okay to point out her skipping class in public?

Shen Wan’s expression turned blank as she snorted, “Aren’t you skipping class too?”

“How is that the same?” Ji Meng glanced at her disdainfully, saying matter-of-factly, “You’re a top student, I’m a poor student. A top student skipping class is unacceptable, but a poor student skipping is natural.”

Shen Wan: “188, Little Meng’s words seem so reasonable. If I weren’t clear-headed, I might have believed her.”

[188: “Shen Wan, Ji Meng doesn’t seem to care much about what happened earlier. She doesn’t look like someone who just experienced trauma.”] The contrast in her reactions was quite strange. He was a bit curious about what kind of trauma Ji Meng had experienced in the past. She looked like a normal person, but the difference from a normal person was too great.

As just an auxiliary system, he didn’t pay much attention to plot lines outside of the main characters. Those minor details and unimportant roles didn’t concern him at all. Now he couldn’t help but quickly scan through the novel of this world.

“Shall we go back to class now?” Shen Wan asked hesitantly, still holding Ji Meng’s small hand.

Ji Meng nodded. “Let’s go back to class. The flowers here are pretty, but I think I’m prettier.”

“Yes, you’re the prettiest,” Shen Wan praised with a smile that anyone could tell was genuine, without a trace of lying.

Ji Meng’s gaze fixed steadily on Shen Wan, very seriously. “Really?”

“Really. The reason I skipped class was because I accidentally discovered a little beauty in this flower bed, who captivated all my attention. I forgot about time and place, forgot I had class, and didn’t even hear the bell. Little Meng, I skipped class all because of you. You have to make it up to me! If I don’t place in the top three this semester and can’t get my tuition waived or scholarship, you’ll be fully responsible.”

Ji Meng pursed her lips slightly, her beautiful face suddenly turning quite serious. “I have a lot of pocket money. If the school really doesn’t waive your tuition, I’ll help you pay it. Does that count as taking responsibility?”

“It counts, it absolutely counts,” Shen Wan nodded quickly, like a pecking chicken.

Afterward, Ji Meng held Shen Wan’s hand as she said goodbye to Ji Chensi, stating she was going back to class. She appeared as if she hadn’t experienced any of the earlier events.

“Mr. Ji, the young miss seems to have selectively forgotten what just happened. Did she really forget?”

Ji Chensi shook his head. “No, Little Meng just doesn’t want to remember unhappy things. This is fine too. Have someone keep a close eye on Qiao Xinzhen. She can spend the rest of her life in there.”

“That little girl called Shen Wan is quite the smooth talker,” Ji Chensi said, unable to help smiling as he recalled the earlier events. “It’s a good thing she’s a little girl. If she were a stinky boy, I’d really have to worry.” If it were a stinky boy, given how these two interact, he might steal away his precious daughter. So glib-tongued, yet Little Meng falls for it, even willing to give her pocket money for tuition. In ten years, he hadn’t seen anyone who could make Little Meng care so much.

Ji Chensi was endlessly grateful that it wasn’t a stinky boy, otherwise he really wouldn’t know what to do.

Naturally, Shen Wan wasn’t scolded by the teacher. Ji Chensi had that much influence. Even if Shen Wan really didn’t make it into the top three of her grade, for Ji Meng’s sake, he’d make sure she stayed at this school. If possible, he’d arrange for Shen Wan to stay by Ji Meng’s side for life, taking care of everything so she wouldn’t have to worry.

[188: “Wan Wan, I just went through the plot of this novel. Ji Meng, the daughter of the Ji financial group and Ji Chensi’s only child, was found drowned in the school’s small lake during the second semester of her first year of high school. The surveillance footage showed Ji Meng walking into the lake herself. Even more chilling is a passage describing it:

Ji Meng, wearing a pretty pink dress and holding a small mirror, smiled and stared unblinkingly at the mirror as she walked step by step into the center of the lake. As the water slowly submerged her small body, she kept murmuring, ‘I’m very pretty, very beautiful, Daddy said I’m not ugly.’ Shortly after Ji Meng drowned, a horrific murder case occurred in the city. The victim was Qiao Xinzhen, and the case was inadvertently solved by Chai Mu and his two friends, ultimately determined to be done by Ji Chensi. With Ji Chensi’s downfall, the Ji financial group was quickly carved up. The once-glorious Ji family was soon forgotten.”]

Shen Wan: “And then? 188, you look just like a gossip system right now.”

[188 really wanted to roll his eyes, but he had neither eyes nor eyelids. “Stop pretending. You read the novel carefully several times for each task. You must have noticed these details. That’s why you’re so concerned about Ji Meng’s whereabouts. Wan Wan, you’re really good. Now that the troublesome cannon fodder Qiao Xinzhen is locked up in a mental hospital, with you around, your Little Meng will surely be fine. If Little Meng is fine, Ji Chensi won’t lose his mind. If Ji Chensi is fine, the Ji financial group won’t have problems. Then Chai Mu’s three families won’t get any fat to chew on, they won’t be as powerful as before, and might even be swallowed up by Ji Chensi.”]

[After saying all this, 188 suddenly paused. “Wait, let me check again,” he said, scanning at high speed. Soon his voice continued, “The book mentioned that Ji Chensi already has plans to expand into new industries, which happen to be the main areas Chai Mu’s three families are involved in. Once Ji Chensi breaks in, they’ll suffer the most serious blow. So, was Qiao Xinzhen’s appearance really a coincidence? After all, ten years have passed.”]

Shen Wan rested her chin on her hand, seriously listening to the teacher’s lecture, completely ignoring 188’s serious analysis.

[188 was a bit speechless. “Are you even listening to me?”]

Shen Wan: “I’m listening, but don’t you think it’s a bit late? Shouldn’t this analysis have been done before starting this task? 188, you’ve aged too, or rather, you’ve been made obsolete by newer versions. Your reactions are really slow.”

[188: “Wan Wan, we’re teammates.”]

Shen Wan: “Please add ‘pig’ in front of that.”

188 was furious, silently cursing Shen Wan a thousand times over. He was a powerful system who could instantly curse someone thousands or tens of thousands of times without repeating a single insult. He cursed vigorously in his heart, certain that this host would never know.

[After calming down, 188’s voice sounded mechanical: “Wan Wan, do you think I should secretly remind Ji Chensi that Qiao Xinzhen’s appearance might be related to those three families? They’ve directly targeted your cute Little Meng. It doesn’t make sense to let them off so easily, right? Little Meng is still a minor, yet they dared to make a move. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they won’t learn and might try other methods someday. But you say I’ve been made obsolete, so I don’t know if I still have this function.”]

“Brother 8, even if you’re an old version, you’re still the most powerful. Some new versions can’t compare to you, and they might not even be stable.”

“I believe you can do it.”

[188 almost laughed out loud but maintained his dignity. “I didn’t hear clearly. What did you say?”]

“Brother 8, you’re really amazing. Your analysis is so on point. Quickly notify Uncle Ji and let him deal with those bad people. Brother 8 is smart and righteous. How could such a matter do without you?”

[188 reluctantly said, “Alright, I’ll try. I don’t know if it’ll work.”]

After a long time, 188 reported back to Shen Wan, saying he had reminded Ji Chensi, who had realized the situation and was now investigating the matter.

Shen Wan: “Alright, I got it. Thank you, 188.”

188 thought: This woman is so practical. I knew it would be like this.

In the following days, Shen Wan and Ji Meng’s life was relatively peaceful. The two became inseparable, and Ji Meng developed a habit of having the driver drop Shen Wan off at the market before going home every day after school. Ji Chensi was fully aware but didn’t interfere.

Since learning that Qiao Xinzhen’s appearance wasn’t accidental but instigated by others due to business competition, he was determined to severely suppress those three families. Originally, he had planned to leave them some room to survive, but they had touched his bottom line, which was unforgivable. If he didn’t strike them hard, who knew how they might deal with Little Meng next.

More bodyguards were secretly assigned to protect Ji Meng. Even the new school doctor and some subject teachers might be Ji Meng’s bodyguards.

With family troubles, Chai Mu and his two friends also sensed a crisis and temporarily lost interest in approaching Shen Wan to play that boring game. Shen Wan had a peaceful period and thought these three wouldn’t bother her anymore, feeling a bit frustrated that she couldn’t mess with them.

Unexpectedly, after just half a month, the three suddenly appeared around her simultaneously, disregarding curious glances as they began pursuing her. From beautiful flowers to luxurious accessories, Shen Wan suddenly became the talk of the school.

Being pursued by the three most popular boys at the same time would probably drive any girl crazy.

Shen Wan: “……” These three guys, do they think she’s an idiot? How could she not guess their motives with such obvious actions? They must know Ji Meng is important to Ji Chensi, and she’s valued by Ji Meng. They want to win her over to make Ji Meng sad and cause problems. How despicable.

“These flowers don’t look very fresh,” Shen Wan glanced at the bouquet in Luo Junxin’s hands with disdain. “Only flowers picked at dawn when the sun has just risen, with a bit of dew still on them, are the freshest, prettiest, and most colorful.”

So, Luo Junxin’s performance today: Eliminated!

“Is this an A-brand multi-gem bracelet?” Shen Wan eyed the box in Su Rong’s hand, flashing a pure, unaffected smile. “It’s too complicated. I’m not even sixteen yet. Wearing such flashy things would be tacky. It’s so vulgar, it really doesn’t match my elegant and refined temperament.”

So, Su Rong: Eliminated!

Chai Mu stood expressionless, his gaze towards Shen Wan indescribable. Seeing Shen Wan look his way, he quickly displayed some joy. In his hand, he held a key – a car key.

“What kind of key is that?”

Chai Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “A car key.”

Shen Wan gave him a ‘you’re an idiot’ look. “Little brother, I’m not even sixteen yet. I’m underage and don’t have a driver’s license. Are you stupid? What’s the point of giving me a car key? Oh, I get it. You’re not giving it to me, you’re just showing off in front of me, thinking you can win my heart with this key. Let me tell you, dream on. Go to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams.”

188 thought: I never imagined there’d be a day when I’d accompany the host through a Mary Sue scenario. It’s like a dream.

Seeing Shen Wan turn and walk away with that affected manner, Chai Mu and his two friends were shaking with anger. This girl was truly infuriating. If not for their goal, would they lower themselves to approach such an unremarkable girl? It was really nauseating.

Shen Wan thought: Delightful!

“Why didn’t you accept?” Ji Meng had been quietly observing from the side. Seeing Shen Wan ridicule them, she felt somewhat pleased. Those three boys all came from extraordinary backgrounds. If any one of them had done this, almost no girl could resist.

Shen Wan raised her chin. “I’m a pure and unaffected good student, focused solely on studying hard. How could I be blinded by their dung and abandon my bright future? I’m the top student. They must be after my excellent grades. Their purpose in pursuing me is definitely to get free tutoring. They have ulterior motives. I won’t agree to them.”

Ji Meng thought: Is that so? If she hadn’t known Shen Wan for so long, she might have believed it. No wonder her father once mentioned Shen Wan and casually asked, “How’s that little idiot classmate of yours doing?” The way Shen Wan was talking now, wasn’t she indeed acting like a little idiot?

“Of course, the more important reason is that I prefer beautiful fresh flowers over stinky cow dung,” Shen Wan said, smiling at Ji Meng. “Flowers are much prettier and smell nice too. Little Meng, don’t you agree?”

The corners of Ji Meng’s tightly pressed lips curved into a smile. “You do have good taste.”

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay!”

“Also, my dad is richer than their families. They have ulterior motives. If you want anything, just ask me. I have lots of pocket money. I can give it all to you.”

Ji Meng was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ll study hard and help my dad with work in the future. I’ll earn more money for you to spend.”

Shen Wan thought: So, does this mean I don’t have to work hard for the rest of my life?
