Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Dong Zheng flipped through the little notebook from start to finish. There were twelve pages of itemized expenses, meticulously recording everything from food and daily necessities to various insurances. In her view, the total sum wasn’t actually much, not even reaching the amount Li Zhan had originally prepared to give her. However, the last item was the big ticket.

That item was labeled: “Expenses for finding a partner.”

This included finding a partner, dating, and supporting a partner!

[188: “Wan Wan, isn’t this going too far? You should quit while you’re ahead.”]

188 was a bit worried that Shen Wan might overplay her hand. Rich people weren’t fools; Li Zhan was actively offering compensation to make a clean break. If she truly angered him, he might not give her a penny, and there’d be nothing she could do about it.

Shen Wan: “It’s fine. Losing a small amount of money to avoid more serious losses in the future – he’s still coming out ahead.”

Hearing this, 188 felt something was off. He went back to review the plot and finally found where things didn’t add up.

In the original story, not long after the protagonist left Li Zhan, the Li Group faced a major crisis, ultimately resulting in losses of several billion. It was this twist of fate that led the protagonist to meet the story’s second male lead at her lowest point, later becoming the biggest obstacle in the main characters’ relationship.

What did Wan Wan mean just now? Did she know what the Li Group’s crisis was about? After all, in novels, such plot points often aren’t described in detail. Even as a capable system, he couldn’t fully reconstruct every aspect of the story.

As 188 was pondering this, Dong Zheng spoke up: “I agree to these conditions of yours…”

Before Dong Zheng could finish, Shen Wan interrupted her.

“Wait a moment. These conditions were just a rough idea I jotted down. What I really want isn’t this.” Shen Wan put her hand on the notebook and looked up at Dong Zheng with a smile. “I stayed up all night and couldn’t help falling asleep at the end. There’s still a final part I didn’t write.”

Huh? 188 was surprised. Earlier, when he chatted with his host, she said this was what she wanted. Just now, she even said the money wasn’t for nothing. He guessed she probably knew something about the Li Group’s sudden crisis and planned to secretly tip off Li Zhan, which was why she had unhesitatingly calculated a sum of money.

Moreover, he sensed that since Dong Zheng entered, Shen Wan’s expression had been a bit off. Let him think about what was going on. 188 carefully scanned Dong Zheng from head to toe. She wore a well-tailored gray work dress, her hair was pinned up, and her features were exquisite with just a touch of red on her lips – a true beauty by any measure.

Looking back at his host, she kept holding a water cup, secretly glancing at Dong Zheng. 188 suddenly realized: could this Dong Zheng be his host’s wife? The more he looked, the more likely it seemed. He felt that the host’s change in attitude was because of Dong Zheng. So, she didn’t want the amount she had painstakingly listed all night long. What did she want then?

Dong Zheng was also puzzled. Although the sum was considerable, it hadn’t exceeded Li Zhan’s bottom line. That rascal nephew of hers had always been generous when it came to giving money to women. She remembered how her nasty nephew, to please Xia Xuan, had given away luxury villas and million-dollar sports cars one after another, treating money like nothing. What Shen Wan was asking for really couldn’t compare to even a fraction of what Xia Xuan had received.

At their level, money was indeed just a number. Spending money to buy happiness was quite normal.

What Shen Wan had asked for was indeed enough for her to live comfortably for life. This sudden change of mind made her wonder what additional conditions the girl might have. In any case, the pitiful, pure, and unaffected young girl from before had already faded from her mind. The one before her now was a complete little money-grubber. She didn’t despise her for it though. A woman who knew how to look out for herself rather than foolishly believing in love would undoubtedly live better and more freely in this world.

“What else do you want?” Dong Zheng sat up straight and said coolly, “Go ahead, I’ll consider it if the conditions aren’t excessive.”

Shen Wan took the notebook, tore out all dozen or so pages, and threw them in the trash. This action left Dong Zheng baffled, and 188 was equally confused. But it made him believe that it was impossible for his host not to take a penny for the sake of her wife. She must have some other tricks up her sleeve.

“Actually, no matter how much I take, it’ll eventually run out,” Shen Wan said seriously, holding the notebook. “Times are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. Miss Dong, you must have heard the saying, ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ Giving me more money might seem inexhaustible. But with determination, even vast sums can be spent.”

Dong Zheng frowned slightly, then said, “Then you could ask for a building and become a landlord, ensuring a worry-free life.”

Shen Wan: How wasteful, not treating money like money, what a spendthrift woman. Fortunately, she, Shen Wan, wasn’t like other women. If she knew Dong Zheng was offering buildings to other women, she’d jump up high and hit her immediately.

“Miss Dong, you must have looked into my family background, right?”

Dong Zheng nodded slightly. Of course she had. The reason she didn’t object to Li Zhan compensating Shen Wan so generously was that during those five months, under Shen Wan’s care, Li Zhan’s health had indeed improved significantly. His stomach problems subsided, his complexion looked better, and he seemed much happier. In her view, during those five months of care, her nasty nephew had lived quite well and happily, not as depressed and gloomy as before.

“If I had a building, those shameless leeches in my family would probably cling to the walls, not resting until they’d swallowed every brick and tile. Don’t talk about reasoning with them; reason doesn’t work on them. With no shame, they can go anywhere, and no one can stop them.”

Dong Zheng was increasingly puzzled. “Then what do you want? Just say it directly.”

Shen Wan stood up and moved to sit next to Dong Zheng. Inwardly, she chuckled and said to 188: “I’m just sitting next to her, not touching her. She shouldn’t get angry, right? It feels like it’s been such a long time.”

188: What does it matter if she gets angry? You’ve already done it, haven’t you?

But hearing Shen Wan say it felt like such a long time, 188 felt suspicious. After the last mission, his host hadn’t continued with tasks but disappeared for a while. When she returned, a large portion of her money was gone. Considering she had bought him new skins, he didn’t dwell on where the money had gone. He really didn’t know which little vixen she had spent it on. Could it be this little vixen Dong Zheng?

“I want to start a company. Miss Dong, could you ask Li Zhan to invest in the initial stages? I promise, if he agrees to this condition, I’ll stay far away from him in the future and won’t affect him in any way. Also, when you need private bodyguards in the future, I can give you a discount.”

Dong Zheng certainly hadn’t expected this to be Shen Wan’s condition.

Starting a company?

It could be simple, or it could be difficult. But Shen Wan starting a company? Wasn’t she afraid of losing everything?

“Start a company? What kind of company? Are you sure?”

“Of course,” Shen Wan said very seriously, her little face earnest. “A bodyguard company. I’ve thought it through. If I start a bodyguard company, all my employees will be strong men. Even if those leeches from my family come, seeing so many powerful men, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble.”

A bodyguard company???

She really came up with that idea. Dong Zheng pursed her lips. “A company isn’t something you can just start on a whim. You don’t understand anything. If you lose money, you’ll end up with nothing.”

“Don’t worry about that. Just ask Li Zhan if he agrees. As long as he invests in me, my life and death will have nothing to do with him afterward. Just help me get the company up and running. In the future, when you need bodyguards, I’ll give you a 50% discount. How about that?”

Although Dong Zheng thought they might indeed need bodyguards sometimes, she wouldn’t dare hire from Shen Wan’s company. By the time they needed to hire, the company might have already collapsed.

After repeatedly confirming and seeing that Shen Wan wouldn’t change her mind, Dong Zheng called Li Zhan.

When Li Zhan answered the phone, he was in his office, his expression particularly strange. That skinny girl wanted to start a company?? Had this matter really hit her so hard that it fried her brain?

“Aunt, you’re not joking?”

“Would I joke with you?” Dong Zheng’s tone wasn’t pleasant. “If you hadn’t messed around, deceiving a young girl’s true feelings for five months, would we have these troubles now? I can’t persuade her. She insists on starting a bodyguard company and won’t take anything else. She even says she’ll give us a 50% discount when our Li Group needs bodyguards in the future. I think this girl’s brain has really broken.”

Dong Zheng had gone upstairs to make the call, but her gaze was on Shen Wan sitting obediently in the living room. She had to admit, this young girl had given her quite a shock.

“Fine, I agree. If she loses everything, she’d better not cry.” Investing in a small company was just a minor matter for Li Zhan.

Since that was what Shen Wan wanted, and he had promised to compensate her, he would naturally fulfill it. Compared to those women before, Shen Wan was much easier to deal with. If he didn’t love Xuan Xuan, this Shen Wan would have been quite good. Of course, now that her brain seemed broken, forget it.

“Zhan agrees.”

Dong Zheng told Shen Wan, “You can think about how to proceed now. Of course, during this time, you can still change your mind and ask for something else.”

“I just want this, nothing else. Miss Dong, please tell Li Zhan that.”

“Alright then, I’ll be leaving now. You can start preparing. In a few days, someone will come to help you set up the company.”

“It’s already noon. Why don’t we have lunch together before you go?” Shen Wan blurted out instinctively.

Dong Zheng glanced at her. “No need. Wait until your company officially starts and survives for a month or two before saying that.”

Shen Wan: “Brother 8, am I being looked down upon? Miss Dong seems to think my company won’t last two months before collapsing.”

[188: “She’s not looking down on you. It’s just that with your background as a poor little thing starting a company, no one would believe you’d succeed. But I believe in you. Wan Wan, why did you think of starting a bodyguard company? Wouldn’t opening a milk tea shop be better?”]

Shen Wan said very seriously, “Who says Miss Dong and I don’t have an unusual relationship? A milk tea shop can’t protect her, but a bodyguard company can. 188, you’re not reading the plot carefully.”

“Sigh, the money I saved really can’t be kept. I’ll have to spend it all again.” Shen Wan sat on the sofa, rubbing her head, feeling a bit overwhelmed. “Open the system mall for me. I want to buy some things.”

188 quickly opened the system mall, not paying attention to what Shen Wan was buying. He was carefully browsing the plot, reading it through thoroughly before finally understanding why Shen Wan wanted to start a bodyguard company.

Although Wan Wan might be a bit thick-skinned, somewhat shameless, and lacking in integrity, she truly cared for her wife. In fact, Wan Wan was quite good to him too, always buying him the latest limited edition skins.

If Wan Wan wanted to start a bodyguard company, he’d help her gather information. He hoped that in this world, Wan Wan would soon win her beauty.

……

Xia Xuan had been living quite well recently. The moment she returned and saw Li Zhan, throwing herself into his arms and feeling all his warmth, she decided that no matter what, she would never leave him again in this lifetime.

She also wouldn’t break up with him over trivial matters. They had come so far, and it really hadn’t been easy. Especially in between, even with someone like Shen Wan who took meticulous care of him, it couldn’t move him.

As soon as she returned, Li Zhan immediately came back to her side. Perhaps in this lifetime, there would never be another person who could treat her so well.

That Shen Wan was quite sensible, not clinging to Zhan, so she wouldn’t dwell on past events. However, if she dared to come and cling to Li Zhan, she shouldn’t blame her for being impolite. A poor little thing without any background would find it very difficult to survive in this world.

Xia Xuan sat at her dressing table, applying lipstick in a good mood, touching up her eyebrows.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She picked it up and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number. Puzzled, she answered, “Xia Xuan, you’ve been living quite well recently, haven’t you?”

The familiar voice made Xia Xuan immediately hang up the phone, looking at her pale face in the mirror, shaken. She bit her lip and quickly turned off her phone. No, not just turn it off – she needed to cancel the card and stop using this number altogether.
