Didn’t Expect That, Did You?

Didn’t Expect That, Did You? 07

Wen Yu couldn’t believe her ears.

Wen Zhihan is actually going to marry Shao Cixin!?

Why!?

Is it to get back at her? But Wen Zhihan doesn’t even know that Shao Cixin is her ex-girlfriend!

Then what’s the reason?

She didn’t understand and was deeply puzzled by Wen Zhihan’s actions.

She didn’t want to deal with this at all, but she can’t help but care…

After all… Shao Cixin was her ex-girlfriend.

Anyone whose ex-girlfriend is marrying their sister definitely couldn’t help but care!

That’s what she thought.

“Xiao Yu?”

The deep voice of Wen Xingyun came from her phone, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

“Are you listening to Dad?”

“Yeah,” Wen Yu put down the bag she was carrying, “I’m listening.”

Wen Xingyun said, “There’s nothing going on, I’m just calling to tell you that we’re coming back. Don’t forget to come home when we do.”

Wen Yu lowered her head to change her shoes: “I know, I’ll definitely go back, Dad, you can rest assured.”

Wen Xingyun: “Okay, there’s nothing else going on. Just go do whatever you want, hang up, and get some rest.”

Wen Yu: “Okay, dad, goodnight.”

Wen Xingyun: “Goodnight.”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yu went to take a shower.

Soaking in the steamy bathtub, she closed her eyes and pondered.

The person occupying her mind at this moment was not Tian Jiahe, but Shao Cixin…

The woman who deeply loved her, but broke up with her of her own accord is now marrying Wen Zhihan…

Is this normal?

This is too abnormal.

She even suspected that it was a joke.

But if it was a joke, the cost of this joke would be too high, and it would require too many people from the Wen family.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart as if something was stolen out of her hands. No matter how unimportant that thing is, the moment it is stolen, it will leave an annoying mark on the person’s heart.

She gradually became interested in this matter. Today, she didn’t manage to comfort Tian Jiahe, and she gradually forgot about all of the issues she had with her.

Is Shao Cixin deliberately getting revenge on her for her indifference?

Is Wen Zhihan being used by Shao Cixin?

Thinking of this, she slowly opened her eyes, showing a hint of mockery.

– Wen Zhihan, Wen Zhihan, you can’t really have become a tool for my ex-girlfriend, right?

She picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, opened Wen Zhihan’s WeChat, and sent a message with mockery in her eyes.

[Wen Yu]: You’re getting married?

[Wen Yu]: To Shao Jia’s daughter?

[Wen Zhihan]: Mm.

Wen Yu’s eyebrows rose as she stared at her screen, looking at her sister as if she were a fool.

[Wen Yu]: Don’t blame me for not warning you. That’s my ex-girlfriend.

[Wen Zhihan]: So?

[Wen Yu]: So it’s not possible. She just wants to use you to get back at me.

[Wen Yu]: You’ve been tricked, Wen Zhihan, you’ve become stupid.

Wen Zhihan didn’t reply immediately. Maybe she was thinking, or maybe she was only just realizing what was going on now. She must be furious.

In any case, Wen Yu was happy that she was finally able to get one up on her.

After a while, Wen Zhihan replied.

Wen Yu arrogantly opened her phone, only to see that Wen Zhihan had sent back a message:

[Wen Zhihan]: I sent her a screenshot.

[Wen Yu]: ?

Why did you take a screenshot?!

[Wen Zhihan]: Cixin sent me a reaction, do you want to see it?

Then Wen Zhihan completely ignored her and slowly sent over a screenshot of Shao Cixin’s reaction.

[Wen Zhihan]: [Yue.JPG]¹

Wen Yu: “???”

She angrily closed her phone.

“What a dirty thing!”

Shao Cixin was lying on the bed, looking at the screenshot in surprise.

What is revenge, what is being tricked?

Wen Yu is really too self-centered!

No wonder she could say “I am helping you fulfill your dream” in her previous life!

She must have been really blind to like such a person!

Shao Cixin called Wen Zhihan. She can’t let Wen Zhihan really believe Wen Yu’s bullshit! If she does, then she won’t help the Shao family!

The call was answered.

The voice from the other end was still soft and gentle, neither fast nor slow, as if it was not affected at all: “Hello?”

Shao Cixin, who was full of enthusiasm, suddenly calmed down when she heard this voice. Wen Zhihan is really too gentle, even her voice can calm people down.

“Cixin,” Wen Zhihan asked, “what’s the matter?”

Shao Cixin lay on her back: “I originally wanted to tell you not to believe her bullshit, that you shouldn’t be fooled by her, but now it seems that… you don’t seem to believe her words?”

A light laugh came from the phone, floating in the ear, with a gentle breath, like a feather tickling the earlobe, so pleasant that it tickles the ears.

“Don’t worry, I have my own judgment.”

The meaning of the words was self-explanatory. Shao Cixin understood and was relieved.

No matter what, the goddess will not be misled by Wen Yu’s words and misunderstand her, nor will she give up helping the Shao family!

“But,” Shao Cixin recalled the screenshot and felt very strange, “I didn’t expect you to send the screenshot to me directly…”

Wen Zhihan said calmly, “I was just teaching her to not talk badly about others behind their backs. If you have something to say, you should say it to their face.”

Shao Cixin: “…”

She couldn’t help but applaud. It’s a well-intentioned and original education.

“Right,” Shao Cixin suddenly remembered something, “my parents asked us about the wedding plans, you… do you want to have a wedding?”

Wen Zhihan threw the question back at her: “Do you want to or not?”

Shao Cixin fell into contemplation… she actually didn’t want to. Weddings are troublesome.² There are too many things to do, and if it is not with the person you like, there is no passion or love to support it.

They are just in a business marriage, so do they really need to expend energy to put on a wedding performance for the sake of a dry and heartless piece of paper?

But she also didn’t have any initiative, she still wanted to listen to Wen Zhihan.

– Whatever the goddess says is right!

Wen Zhihan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

“We should postpone it.” Wen Zhihan finally decided.

“Preparing for a wedding takes time, you have a drama to shoot in your schedule, I also have work to deal with, neither of us have the energy to take care of this, not to mention it is just a business marriage. There is no need to waste both sides’ time, we can just keep postponing it on the pretext of being busy with work.

“A wedding is not necessary. A marriage certificate is.”

After Shao Cixin heard this, she suddenly felt like she wanted to “wow” in admiration.

My goodness, what is this considerate goddess? How could she be blind in her previous life and choose the younger sister over the older sister???

“Okay!” Shao Cixin’s voice sounded particularly cheerful, “we’ll do as our President Wen says!”

Wen Zhihan on the other end of the phone knew that she was saying it in her heart, and it made her happy.

Wen Zhihan helplessly laughed: “You listen to my words that much?”

“Of course,” Shao Cixin happily responded, “your word is law and my word is law. This is the only way to be neat and tidy.”

Wen Zhihan heard her cheerful tone and her lips unconsciously curled up.

Shao Cixin really didn’t want to fall in love again.

“Go get rest early,” Wen Zhihan said softly, “goodnight.”

“Goodnight, goodnight.”

After hanging up the phone, Shao Cixin stretched her limbs comfortably. These next few days, she really needs to rest at home and spend some time with her parents. She needs to breathe in the fresh air of this new life!

Shao Heng was busy with work at the company and hadn’t been home for days. He practically lived at the office. Fortunately, now that the Wen family was there to help, and his daughter was home to take care of his wife, he could finally relax a little.

Since the two daughters got along so well, the idea of them getting married soon became natural. Wen Zhihan quickly followed through with her promise, and even Wen Xingyun contacted him, saying that he had always been paying attention to the Shao Corporation and that he really admired Shao Heng as a person. He was also very happy to be able to join the Wen family with the Shao family.

Everything was developing in a good direction. After being busy for a few days, Shao Heng finally had some time to go home and rest. Then, it was time for Shao Cixin to leave home and go back to work.

In the afternoon, around 4 or 5, she had a magazine cover to shoot and didn’t have anything else planned before then. Since she had some free time, she decided to call her friend and hairdresser Liang Xuefei out for coffee.

She hadn’t seen Liang Xuefei since she was reborn, and she actually missed her a little.

Since it was the weekend today, Liang Xuefei didn’t have to work and happily agreed to meet up. Shao Cixin sat in her seat and watched as Liang Xuefei walked toward her. She had her hair in pigtail braids, was a little chubby, and was wearing a cute and fresh outfit. Liang Xuefei still looked like the same adorable person she remembered.

She slowly raised her eyes and was in a good mood.

As soon as Liang Xuefei sat down, she noticed that she was smiling. Even though she didn’t know what she was smiling about, she also raised the corners of her lips and put down her bag as she took out her phone to order: “Why are you smiling? Are you in a good mood because you left that scum?”

“Of course,” Shao Cixin said with a smile. “Who wouldn’t be in a good mood after leaving a scum like that? Order whatever you want, your sister is treating you today!”

Liang Xuefei was also very cooperative and said with a bow, “Thank you, lord!”

“By the way, what do you think of my braids? I learned how to do them a few days ago.”

Shao Cixin immediately flattered her: “Good-looking! I think your outfit looks great today too. It really brings out your temperament and makes you look healthy. Our Feifei is really a fashionable and beautiful city woman.”

“Thank you so much for the rainbow fart rocket³, big star Shao.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re welcome.”

The two of them chatted for a while and the coffee and dessert arrived. The conversation was suddenly pulled by Liang Xuefei toward the topic of the marriage between the Wen and Shao families.

This news hadn’t been announced to the public yet, but Liang Xuefei knew about it because she was a “close friend” of someone who was involved.

Liang Xuefei stirred her coffee with a spoon and curiously asked, “Are you really getting married?”

Shao Cixin nodded confidently.

Liang Xuefei sighed, “Wow, how sudden…”

Shao Cixin didn’t nod this time. This was her second marriage, so she was already mentally prepared for it. Liang Xuefei took a sip of her coffee and quickly put down her cup as she excitedly asked, “The marriage between your families, is it really Wen Zhihan’s idea?”

Shao Cixin: “Yes.”

Liang Xuefei: “Is Wen Zhihan the same person as… the one who went to the same high school as you?”

Shao Cixin: “You remember?”

Liang Xuefei: “Of course I remember! Isn’t she the one who filled up a whole page with your name?”

Shao Cixin: “…”

She awkwardly rubbed her forehead.

It’s not necessary to remember that embarrassing past…

Liang Xuefei thought of this and suddenly had a gossipy expression: “I say, could she like you?”

She had good reason and said, “If she didn’t like you, why would she fill up a whole page of her notebook with just your name?”

Shao Cixin raised an eyebrow and showed approval: “Not bad, very daring. It seems like you’ve already forgotten what she did in high school, or you wouldn’t have said something like that.”

Liang Xuefei innocently blinked her eyes and said, “I really did forget, what did she do?”

Shao Cixin didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “Do you know there’s a joke online?”

“A asks B, ‘Your notebook is full of my name, do you like me?’

“Guess what B’s response was.”

Liang Xuefei: “What was the response?”

Shao Cixin smiled slightly.

“B said, ‘Idiot, I’m from the Disciplinary Committee.’”

“…”

Liang Xuefei: “I take back what I said earlier, thank you.”
