Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration) Chapter 98 : . Being a Substitute The Hurts-Body-and-Soul Ki
Recently, Shen Wan and Dong Zheng's chance encounters had beco increasingly frequent. Either Dong Zheng would bump into Shen Wan on the road, or Shen Wan would happen to et Dong Zheng sowhere.
After eting, they would usually chat for a while, as if neither had anything else to do. Both would express that eating alone was boring, so why not go eat together?
It was usually Dong Zheng who drove Shen Wan, because every ti Shen Wan went out, she took the subway, bus, or taxi. Her excuse was that she had just learned to drive and was afraid to be on the road. Besides, city transportation was very convenient, and as the boss of a small security company, she didn't have any big business to discuss and didn't need to keep up appearances. It was better to use those convenient urban transportation thods. It saved money, hassle, and effort.
If Dong Zheng hadn't once seen Shen Wan quickly stuffing her car keys into her bag upon eting her, she might have believed her.
Dong Zheng made no attempt to expose this, instead pretending not to know.
From initially suggesting on the way that no matter how good restaurant food was, it wasn't as nutritious as ho-cooked als, and proposing to buy ingredients at the market to cook themselves, to finally Dong Zheng taking the initiative, saying, "Why don't we go to my place to cook? I've had the housekeeper buy a lot of ingredients, including seafood that was just delivered this morning. I'll help you."
Since knowing Shen Wan, Dong Zheng had learned to cook many more dishes. Even if they weren't as delicious as Shen Wan's, her culinary skills had improved. Of course, she only made small dishes; Shen Wan still did the main cooking. Usually, Dong Zheng just helped wash and cut vegetables.
After last ti, Dong Zheng's villa had colorful flowers arranged in every corner. The florist would co to replace them every two days. In Shen Wan's room, there was always only one type of flower - red roses.
Shen Wan never asked to change to other types of flowers, and Dong Zheng naturally pretended not to know this, continuing to have red roses placed in her room.
Shen Wan went from staying at Dong Zheng's house ten days a month to almost every day of the month. Dong Zheng would always pass by her company, bringing cola and fried chicken legs, saying she was just passing by to check in, and handing the cola and chicken to Shen Wan.
The usual excuse was: It looked so delicious, she couldn't resist buying it, but then suddenly rembered she needed to control her diet.
Not wanting to waste it, the cola and fried chicken could only benefit Shen Wan.
At first, the company staff naively thought that Dong Zheng really wanted to eat these things, but after buying them, was afraid of getting fat, so she gave them to their little boss.
Later, they realized sothing was off.
Once or twice could be coincidence, unable to resist buying sothing, but bringing the sa snacks every day? Eventually, she stopped making excuses. Led in by Xiao Hu, she would directly hand the food to their little boss.
The entire company's bodyguards: They felt sothing was wrong, but couldn't put their finger on it.
Xiao Hu: The problem was huge. The boss hadn't been ho for a long ti and had given her the spare key, asking her to hire a housekeeper to clean the room once a month.
Now she was busy managing all the company's affairs, occasionally hiring a housekeeper for the boss, and might even receive a call from the boss at night saying the car was left in so parking lot, asking her to arrange for soone to retrieve it during the day.
Arrange who? Most of the ti, she went to get it herself.
It was a bit busy, but she had no complaints because the boss paid her well, with monthly bonuses.
She just felt that the relationship between the boss and Miss Dong was a bit subtle, but she couldn't quite figure out what kind of subtlety it was.
Xiao Hu watched Shen Wan and Dong Zheng walk out of the company, chatting and laughing. Then her boss unhesitatingly slipped into the passenger seat, quickly fastening her seatbelt. Just like that, she watched her boss go to Miss Dong's house again.
A few minutes later, Xiao Hu's phone chid with a text ssage. She opened it to find, as expected, a ssage from her boss.
Shen Wan: Xiao Hu, I haven't been ho for half a month. When you have ti, please hire a housekeeper to clean the place.
Haven't been ho for half a month???
Xiao Hu widened her eyes but finally replied with an "Okay."
So ti ago, Shen Wan had earned so money and bought herself a studio apartnt. She just hadn't expected that she would hardly live there for a few days.
Shen Wan: "Brother 8, I'm really helpless. Miss Dong cos to find every day, brings fried chicken legs and cola, asks if I want to go out to eat, then thinks eating out isn't healthy, prepares all the ingredients for , and even helps cook. She's so enthusiastic and has helped so much, how can I refuse her?"
"You know, I really don't know how to refuse people."
[188: "Since you feel you can't repay her, why not offer yourself in return?"]
Shen Wan cupped her face, glancing at Dong Zheng who was driving seriously, and continued to tell 188, "She hasn't ntioned it, how can I be so presumptuous? Let's wait until she brings it up, otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward for everyone?"
188: How shaless, clearly wanting Miss Dong to make the first move. This Wan Wan! A bit shaless.
Tomorrow was the weekend. Shen Wan rembered sothing and asked 188: "Li Zhan seems to have been very busy lately. He hasn't co to disturb our als."
Shen Wan said this because many tis when they finished cooking, Li Zhan would appropriately ring the doorbell and mooch a al from them, which was particularly shaless. Recently, he hadn't been coming. She rembered Li Group's upcoming crisis, where they would lose several billion at once.
Although Dong Zheng wasn't part of Li Group, she still held so shares. If Li Group really suffered losses, wouldn't that an her future wife would lose money?
When Li Zhan faces a crisis, he'd definitely need her future wife's help, right?
[188: "He's busy with that big project. I checked for you earlier, it should be reaching a critical mont, in these two days."] He didn't know the specific details, after all, without an internet connection, he couldn't know everything.
Hearing this, Shen Wan understood. She just didn't know if Xia Xuan had gone to Li Zhan's office at this ti to scan and steal that very important docunt. Li Zhan was actually quite smart and didn't have many weaknesses. Xia Xuan was one of the few people he could trust, which was related to so things he experienced in his childhood.
"Brother 8, can you connect to Li Group's network for ? If you see Xia Xuan enter Li Zhan's office, let know."
Such a small request, of course he would agree.
A couple of days later, 188 told Shen Wan that Xia Xuan had gone to Li Zhan's office one noon. They didn't know what the two did in the office, but not long after, Li Zhan left for sothing, with Xia Xuan waiting inside.
Hearing this, Shen Wan knew Xia Xuan must have made her move.
"What are you thinking about?" Dong Zheng noticed Shen Wan's expression and asked curiously.
Shen Wan ca back to her senses, "I heard today that Li Group has taken on a very big project?"
"That's right, Zhan is taking this project very seriously, which is why he hasn't co to bother us lately." ntioning this, Dong Zheng couldn't help but look at Shen Wan, slightly pursing her lips. "Why are you interested in this?"
"Many people are talking about it, so I'm just asking casually. After all, I'm interested in things that make money."
Dong Zheng smiled. If it weren't for her close contact with Shen Wan these past few months, she might have thought, like others, that she was soone obsessed with making money.
If Shen Wan had wanted to, her security company should have grown more than twofold by now. But she didn't seem to have that intention; the company was still that small company, though the training ground had expanded a bit.
188: Wrong, the host really is obsessed with making money.
"How about going to the mall tomorrow? I plan to buy so things."
Shen Wan was naturally willing and quickly agreed, inwardly clamoring that Miss Dong was too indirect. Could she be more direct with her? This was too slow; they were both girls, what couldn't be said?
Dong Zheng was indeed pondering how to break through this relationship. Although Shen Wan didn't seem to reject her advances, their interaction was similar to ordinary close friends. She wasn't sure if the other party understood her intentions or just saw her as a close friend.
For her own purposes, Dong Zheng decided she needed to change her approach.
Yes, she was testing whether Shen Wan could accept a woman's pursuit. She couldn't rember when she started liking this girl, but that wasn't important. The problem now was how to make Shen Wan like her.
She didn't know that Shen Wan was inwardly complaining that she wasn't direct enough, too indirect.
Shen Wan also didn't know Dong Zheng's concerns.
When the two finished eating and returned to their rooms to sleep, Shen Wan took out her phone and used a new card with a number no one knew to send Li Zhan a text ssage.
The content of the ssage was simple: Your file has been scanned, the most important one.
She didn't know which specific file it was. The plot only ntioned later that at a critical mont, Xia Xuan had stolen that very important file. What was on it wasn't written, so she really didn't know.
Whether Li Zhan believed it or not, she didn't care.
But she thought that even if Li Zhan didn't believe it, he would investigate the truth of the matter. And he would imdiately make corresponding preparations, just in case.
That night, Xia Xuan wasn't at Li Zhan's place.
He had just returned ho when he heard the text ssage alert. Opening it, he saw a puzzling ssage.
Your file has been scanned, the most important one.
Li Zhan laughed it off at first, thinking it was soone's prank.
After washing up and showering, he was about to sleep when he suddenly rembered the ssage he had received earlier. He picked up his phone to look at it again, and the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt. He couldn't fall asleep with his eyes closed, so he tried calling the number, but it was out of service.
Finally, Li Zhan got up, got dressed, and notified his assistant to prepare for a eting.
Although it looked like a joke, he had never received such a strange text ssage before, especially one that specified the most important file. What was most important? Wasn't it the big project he was currently responsible for? If sothing went wrong, it would definitely bring great turmoil to Li Group.
Whether true or false, it wouldn't be wrong to prepare for both scenarios.
The next day, as Dong Zheng was driving Shen Wan out to play, they encountered Li Zhan who had just returned from the company.
They stopped and rolled down the window to greet him. Seeing Shen Wan sitting in Dong Zheng's passenger seat with a smile, Li Zhan was exasperated. How could this woman be with his aunt so early in the morning, like a little tail? And his aunt was strange too, insisting on being friends with such a woman.
"Zhan, you're just getting back from the company? Didn't you sleep all night?" Dong Zheng noticed Li Zhan's eyes were full of red blood vessels, definitely from lack of sleep. "Not sleeping for a whole night, why didn't you call a driver to send you back? It's most dangerous to drive when you're not alert."
"I know, Aunt," Li Zhan felt warmth in his heart and said, "Sothing ca up suddenly, I had to go."
Last night he had wanted to ignore it, but as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was in chaos, his heart uneasy, filled with thoughts of the file being scanned and leaked.
"Is it serious?"
"It's been resolved," Li Zhan said confidently. "Don't worry, Aunt."
"Alright, then go rest."
Li Zhan glanced strangely at Shen Wan. "Aunt, did Miss Shen not drive again yesterday? Had to stay at your place?"
His tone was so sour, it wasn't clear who he was being sour towards.
Dong Zheng said, "No, I went to pick up Shen Wan specially yesterday. We plan to go shopping today, watch a movie in the afternoon, and there's a musical in the evening."
Li Zhan: "......" These two really had a colorful life.
