Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Shen Wan took a deep breath and said to Ji Meng, “Little Meng, do you know what ‘living off unearned income’ means?”

“I know. Don’t worry, Little Wan. I don’t like studying the things taught in school, but Dad gave me other books that I find somewhat interesting.” Ji Meng opened her phone and showed Shen Wan the electronic version. “Dad said I only need to read these, and it’s fine if I don’t care about test scores.”

Shen Wan glanced at it and finally had nothing more to say. Fair enough, they were starting from different places. Ji Meng had the right to brag. It seemed Ji Chensi was planning to properly cultivate his Little Meng. Indeed, given Ji Meng’s situation, learning those things would be more useful. She also didn’t believe Ji Chensi wanted Ji Meng to know nothing at all. He would surely find ways to teach her certain knowledge.

The class bell rang, and Ji Meng gathered her books to return to her own classroom. As she left, she took all the answer keys for Shen Wan’s test papers, instructing her to hand over the completed papers in the afternoon so she could grade them every day.

“I feel like I’ve acquired a little teacher. If I can’t do well on the exams now, I’d really be letting down our Teacher Ji Meng,” Shen Wan said, looking at the thick stack of test papers. “I’ll do them, since this is what Ji Meng prepared for me. It truly makes one happy yet suffering.”

Shen Wan overheard her mother saying she had encountered a benefactor. She had now become a formal employee at a company with a good salary. Just today, her mother said the company was arranging for her to go on a business trip. Shen Wan felt this matter was quite unusual. She was just about to ask the system to investigate when she received a call from Ji Chensi.

“Uncle Ji.”

“It’s me. I arranged things for your mother.”

“Uncle Ji, are you…”

“Stop right there. Don’t overthink it. I have no intention of separating you and Little Meng. The situation is special recently, and since you and Little Meng are close, I was worried you and your mother might get caught up in it, so I arranged for her to leave. Once things blow over, I’ll have her come back. Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. Your mother is a good person—hardworking and willing to learn. With a bit of opportunity, she’ll do better and better in the future. How far she can go will depend on her own abilities.”

“That’s good. Uncle Ji, you can’t use money to corrupt me and try to separate Little Meng and me.”

Ji Chensi found it quite amusing. “I won’t. How could I separate you two?”

“Then it’s settled. No matter what, you can’t oppose us or separate us.” Shen Wan secretly rejoiced. “Uncle Ji, you’re a man of status and ability. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

“You little girl, you don’t trust me that much? I said I won’t separate you, so I won’t. I actually hope you’ll be friends with Little Meng for life.”

Shen Wan naturally had no objections. She quickly went to wash up and change clothes before hurrying downstairs to follow Ji Chensi to the car. In the car, Ji Chensi briefly explained Little Meng’s issues to her. It was a basic explanation, of course. He didn’t know that Shen Wan was already aware of these surface-level matters.

She just didn’t know what exactly Qiao Xinzhen had done to Ji Meng in the past. This time, she had a good opportunity to find out the truth. Ji Meng’s psychological trauma remained a weakness that couldn’t be carried for life. What if something happened one day, or it became serious? These things shouldn’t be underestimated—psychological illnesses could be fatal.

Their thoughts diverged slightly, but the ultimate goal was the same. Ji Chensi had investigated Shen Wan. Even knowing there were many issues with her, he didn’t mind. As long as she was good to his daughter, whether Shen Wan was human or ghost, he could tolerate it as long as she didn’t harm Ji Meng. With him watching, he absolutely wouldn’t allow anything to happen, especially now that he had brought her under his nose.

Shen Wan also had no intention of hiding anything. She had to be sincere with her future father-in-law, right? After all, he had already promised that no matter what, he wouldn’t separate them. So she would just act freely.

The hospital was located in a quiet, secluded area with a nice environment and good air. At the entrance, someone was already waiting, along with a person holding a beautiful bouquet of roses, which they handed to Ji Chensi. Ji Chensi’s face bore a smile, gentle and charming, frightening the observing Shen Wan so much she shuddered. My goodness, her future father-in-law looked like a big villain. This sudden gentle smile was truly terrifying.

Shen Wan didn’t say a word, following beside Ji Chensi. All along the way, people greeted them: “Mr. Ji, here to see Miss Qiao again?”

“Miss Qiao is truly fortunate, receiving flowers from Mr. Ji every day. On weekends, Mr. Ji even comes to visit her in person.”

“Indeed, Mr. Ji is so gentle and considerate. I hope Miss Qiao’s illness will get better soon.”

“Yes, but it seems Miss Qiao’s condition has become more serious recently. Mr. Ji must be disappointed.”

……

Hearing such comments, Ji Chensi’s smile grew even more gentle. By the time they reached the private room where Qiao Xinzhen was staying, his gentle demeanor was practically dripping with sweetness. Any heterosexual woman seeing Ji Chensi like this would likely go weak in the knees.

Shen Wan’s legs felt a bit wobbly too. Her big villain future father-in-law was truly scary. Who could withstand this? Qiao Xinzhen, shouldn’t you have prayed to Buddha or something?

Pushing open the door, they found Qiao Xinzhen currently restrained in her seat, her entire face somewhat twisted. Hearing the door open, she immediately turned her head. Her pale face, bloodless lips, and lifeless eyes suddenly turned vicious. She began cursing at Ji Chensi.

Since she was a mentally ill patient, the hospital staff only felt sorry for Ji Chensi. Mentally ill people were often like this. The more extreme ones would even attack people. Cursing was quite common.

Only Mr. Ji would have the patience to deal with her.

“Xinzhen, are you feeling better today?” Ji Chensi placed the fresh flowers in a vase, carefully trimming away any damaged leaves and petals. He made the flowers in the vase look even more perfect.

His expression and voice all conveyed that he cared deeply for this woman. Everyone would think he cared about her, but only this woman knew that everything he did was revenge. Yet no one believed her; they all thought she was ill.

“Xinzhen, I heard you’re not taking your medicine properly again. How can you do that?” Ji Chensi sat down nearby, smiling as he said, “You must take your medicine obediently. Only by taking it can you get better. When you’re well, I can take you out. Once we’re out, we can get married. Don’t you agree?”

“Ji Chensi, let me go. I won’t come back, and I won’t marry you either, okay?” She had tried every method over these many days. There was simply no escaping this place. In front of everyone, Ji Chensi always behaved so well.

She finally understood that Ji Chensi intended to keep her locked up here for life. She wanted to get out, no matter what method she had to use. She’d figure things out once she was free.

“Xinzhen, you’re talking nonsense again. Back then, you left Little Meng behind and disappeared. Now that you’re back, it must be because you still can’t forget me. How could I let you leave? If I let you go, wouldn’t we only meet again after another ten years? If I had known you were ill earlier, I should have sent you for treatment sooner. Then we wouldn’t have been separated.”

Shen Wan: “188, I’m a bit scared. Do you think if my future father-in-law finds out I tricked him, he’ll think I’m sick too and want to send me to this place? I’m so frightened.”

“Look at him. If I didn’t know this was fake, I’d definitely be moved by his heartfelt performance. Who would suspect that all his gentleness and love are expressing revenge against a woman? My goodness, a man like this really isn’t suitable for marriage. It’s truly terrifying.”

[188: “Wan Wan, what are you afraid of? Just cling tightly to your Little Meng’s thigh. Even if he were a tiger, what could he do to you?”]

So being with Ji Meng truly was the most promising path. This man would lose all reason and principles for the sake of his precious daughter. He was willing to stake his entire life, showing how incredibly important Ji Meng was to him.

No matter how Qiao Xinzhen pleaded, she couldn’t move Ji Chensi at all. In the end, she had no choice but to start cursing viciously, her words becoming increasingly vulgar. But Ji Chensi didn’t get angry in the slightest. He still looked at her with a doting gaze, as if she wasn’t cursing him but saying sweet nothings. Shen Wan’s legs wouldn’t stop shaking.

Qiao Xinzhen seemed to notice Shen Wan, pointing at her and cursing “little slut” over and over. Shen Wan made a face at her, then said to Ji Chensi, “Uncle Ji, it seems Auntie Qiao’s condition has really worsened.”

Ji Chensi finally called for someone to give Qiao Xinzhen a sedative, then had everyone else leave the room. Shen Wan took the opportunity to lock the door. Ji Chensi noticed this action, his eyes narrowing slightly. He didn’t know what this clever little devil was planning, but he looked forward to finding out.

Shen Wan walked up to Qiao Xinzhen. By now, Qiao Xinzhen no longer had the strength to curse, only glaring fiercely at the two of them.

“Be good, Xinzhen. Don’t make a fuss.” Even with no one else in the room, Ji Chensi didn’t drop his act, leaving Qiao Xinzhen completely helpless. This man was truly ruthless, not giving her any chance to catch him out. No wonder he had been able to manage a huge corporation for so long, growing it even larger.

Shen Wan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Qiao Xinzhen. Right in front of Ji Chensi, she hypnotized Qiao Xinzhen. She felt it was necessary to find out what had happened in the past. Who knew when she’d have another chance to come here?

Ji Chensi watched Shen Wan’s hypnosis technique, at first unconcerned. After bringing Qiao Xinzhen here, he had found hypnotists to hypnotize her. Whenever they asked about past events, Qiao Xinzhen would wake up. For other topics, it was quite easy.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Qiao Xinzhen.”

“Do you know Ji Chensi?”

“Yes, I know him.”

“You’re pregnant.”

“Yes, I’m pregnant. I actively ended my relationship with Ji Chensi within a month.”

“Where did you go?”

“I hid. I was afraid if he knew, he’d make me abort the child. I needed this child to enter the Ji family and become Mrs. Ji.”

“You gave birth to a beautiful girl. Does Ji Chensi know?”

“He knows. I notified him as soon as she was born.”

Qiao Xinzhen paused. Shen Wan didn’t ask further, letting her speak on her own. “But he had no intention of marrying me. He gave me two options: keep the child and receive lifelong child support, or he would take the child and give me a large one-time compensation. I chose to keep the child, thinking that someday he would bring me into the Ji family with great fanfare. I wanted to make those women envious and jealous, to let them know Ji Chensi wasn’t unmarried, but had found the right person. People always said children were the rope binding two people together, and I believed that too. But what happened later seemed different…”

Qiao Xinzhen first described how Ji Chensi only sent money at fixed times. Every weekend, he would come to see the mother and daughter. He never mentioned marriage, and she grew impatient waiting.

“Ji Chensi likes that little monster so much, why won’t he marry me?” Qiao Xinzhen’s expression became extremely crazed. “Seeing him hold that little monster so gently and smilingly each time, I was truly jealous to the point of madness. Who could have imagined that this formidable man would give all his gentleness to a baby? Especially when he bought such pretty dresses for the little monster every time, praising her for being beautiful, delicate, and cute.”

“He has so much patience for a child, why can’t he look at me? The little monster became more and more favored by Ji Chensi, becoming prettier and prettier, while I was slowly aging. It really made me angry. Why? The little monster came from me, she’s flesh of my flesh. Why does she have to compete with me for Ji Chensi’s attention?”

“Later, when the little monster learned to talk, she was always saying ‘Daddy’s so good,’ ‘When is Daddy coming to see me,’ and ‘The dress Daddy bought is so pretty.’ I really couldn’t stand it anymore, so I gave her a nickname—’Little Monster’—and told her every day how ugly she was. Seeing her cry made me so happy. Yes, I was so miserable, why should she get to be so happy? Pretty pink dress? Was she worthy of wearing it?”

“She was really an eyesore, always twirling around in front of me in her pink dress. One day I couldn’t stand it anymore and just ripped off her pink dress, wrapping her in some random rag instead. Looking at her like that, I felt much better.”

“After that, I only let her wear the pink dress when Ji Chensi came. As soon as he left, I’d strip it off her. Seeing her huddled in a corner, shivering and crying, wrapped in rags, I was truly so happy.”

“If she dared to cry or make a fuss in front of Ji Chensi, I’d strip off her dress and throw her out on the street to see if she dared tattle. Sure enough, this method worked well. Ji Chensi never discovered it. That little monster really adapted—even when her dress was stripped off, she’d just hide in a corner without crying or fussing. It got quite boring. But I just couldn’t stand seeing her happy in her pink dress. When Ji Chensi wasn’t around, she couldn’t wear it.”

“Ji Chensi wouldn’t marry me, so I tormented his daughter. Life became much happier…”

After Qiao Xinzhen finished her account, Ji Chensi could no longer maintain his gentle facade. His eyes were very red. So this was what his Little Meng had endured since childhood. He had only thought Little Meng was neglected by Qiao Xinzhen, causing psychological effects.

Shen Wan’s lips were tightly pressed together, her small fists clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds.

“Little Wan, let’s go back. Little Meng will wake up soon.” Ji Chensi’s voice remained calm as he grabbed Shen Wan by the collar and pulled her out.

He looked back at the sleeping Qiao Xinzhen, a cold smile touching his lips. Unforgivable.

Ji Meng had just woken up when she saw Shen Wan leaning on the bed watching her. Noticing Shen Wan’s clothes, she asked, “Did you go out?”

“Mm, I bought you a gift. You gave me the multi-gemstone bracelet before, so I wanted to give you a gift too.”

“What is it?” Ji Meng asked excitedly.

Shen Wan took out the gift box. When Ji Meng opened it, she found a very pretty pink dress. Her eyes lit up. “It’s so beautiful,” she said, touching the fabric. “It must have been expensive. Where did you get the money?”

“I’ve been eating your food lately, so I saved up.”

188: The host is lying. She exchanged this dress at great cost from the spatial mall. Damn, she’s really willing to spend. For one dress, he could debug himself three times.
