Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 518: Chapter 511: The He Family’s Blood Feud

Zuo Ming was stunned by Shen Mingzhu’s acidic words, and seeing the woman’s petty demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Does Shen Mingzhu really think she’s all that? If it weren’t for her connection to He Sisi, and her husband working at 701, with her willowy figure, why would Zuo Ming have dragged things out with her for so long?

But now, he still needed this woman to make a big buck, so he had to keep her happy despite the annoyance bubbling inside him, and he forced a mischievous smile on his face.

"Oh! Jealous, are you? With you, a jealous wife, watching over me, how can I dare to have a wandering heart? Besides, does He Sisi have your skills?"

As Zuo Ming teased her, he began to randomly caress Shen Mingzhu, who softened under his touch and leaned into his embrace with a light hum.

Since she was facing away, Shen Mingzhu didn’t see the disdain on Zuo Ming’s face. His eyes lacked any passion, but his mouth and hands were exceptionally fervent. Within moments, Shen Mingzhu was panting heavily with desire, twisting and turning, pleadingly looking at Zuo Ming.

Zuo Ming, now aroused himself, engaged in another disheveled encounter with Shen Mingzhu, making sure not to forget to coax her into working for him.

Zuo Ming told her that a business friend of his from the provincial city had seen He Sisi and was smitten. He wanted to get close to He Sisi, and so he wanted Shen Mingzhu to lure He Sisi to the Immortal Ascension Platform, and after that, she wouldn’t need to involve herself further.

Hearing that it wasn’t Zuo Ming targeting He Sisi herself, Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Ming was generous, knew how to charm people, and most importantly, he was particularly satisfying in bed. She really wouldn’t want to lose that suddenly.

"What’s in it for me if I do this job for you?" Shen Mingzhu asked with a seductive smile, straddling Zuo Ming.

Zuo Ming thrust his waist, making Shen Mingzhu moan loudly, and he smirked, "Isn’t this benefit enough?"

Two hours later, Shen Mingzhu walked out of the room. She looked around quickly and, seeing no one nearby, she walked briskly away. Her face glowing red and her brows revealing a spring-like joy suggested that Zuo Ming must have indeed taken very good care of her.

Humming a tune with joy, Shen Mingzhu had just gotten five hundred yuan from Zuo Ming’s hand and planned to buy the new model from Aifeier at the mall tomorrow.

In the room, Zuo Ming lay exhausted on the bed, unable to muster any strength. Damn, Shen Mingzhu’s demands were growing by the day; next time, he’d have to ask Tian Ye for more money to buy some nutritional supplements. He really needed to replenish himself.

He Chengsi, having learned from his subordinates that Tianye Minchuan was making a move, once again came to Huang Yuan with his team.

Sure enough, Shen Mingzhu clung to Sisi again, frequently inviting her out shopping. Thanks to the guidance from He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua, Sisi agreed to one or two outings out of three, gradually growing closer to Shen Mingzhu.

After about half a month of interactions with Shen Mingzhu and as the weather grew hotter day by day, Shen Mingzhu suddenly proposed, "Sisi, let’s go to the provincial city this weekend. The scenery at the Immortal Ascension Platform is beautiful."

Here it comes!

Sisi was secretly delighted, but feigned disinterest and said lightly, "The Immortal Ascension Platform? Isn’t it just a mountain? What’s so great about it?"

Shen Mingzhu panicked; after all, Zuo Ming had promised her an extra five hundred yuan if she could bring He Sisi to the Immortal Ascension Platform.

"Sisi, you don’t know, the Immortal Ascension Platform isn’t just any mountain. There’s a Flying Waterfall there, which legend says was the path the immortals took to ascend to heaven. It’s incredibly high, but most importantly, there’s an Immortal Temple on the platform where a high monk has blessed Peace Pendants that ensure a lifetime of safety for children. They are very effective."

"Is it really that miraculous?" Sisi asked skeptically.

Seeing an opening, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly nodded and said, "Really, I’ve gotten one for Niu Niu before. Look, isn’t Niu Niu raised very well?"

To persuade Sisi, Shen Mingzhu even exploited her own daughter deceitfully. Sisi just sneered, knowing Shen Mingzhu was blatantly lying. Mrs. Wu had complained before, mentioning that since Niu Niu was born, Shen Mingzhu hadn’t even bought her a pair of socks. Would she really get a Peace Pendant for Niu Niu?

Deceiving ghosts?

"Since it’s so miraculous, let’s go check it out. I’ll pick you up at 8 AM this Sunday," Sisi said.

Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed and promptly reminded, "Just the two of us going, okay? Don’t bring those annoying men along; they’ll ruin our fun."

Sisi pretended to be surprised and glanced at her, "I actually wanted to bring my husband, but he’s so busy he doesn’t even have time to eat. But what’s going on with you and Old Zheng? It sounds like things aren’t right?"

"Nothing’s wrong. Old Zheng is also busy, even busier than Secretary Tian!" Shen Mingzhu hurriedly laughed and explained.

That evening, upon returning home, Sisi spoke with Chengsi He and Xinhua Tian about her plans. Hearing about her intent to visit Immortal Ascension Platform, Xinhua Tian immediately objected.

"No, the terrain at Immortal Ascension Platform is too treacherous. One misstep could lead to falling off a cliff. I can’t let Ah Nan take such a risk."

Hearing Xinhua Tian’s words, Chengsi He also hesitated. Officially, he wanted Sisi to serve as bait, but personally, just like Xinhua Tian, he didn’t want Sisi to face any slight danger.

But Sisi was dismissive and insisted on going.

"Brother Xinhua, brother, rest assured. I’m not some frail damsel; I won’t let anything happen to myself. Besides, I have an intuition that the people involved this time are connected to those who killed my great-grandparents and grandfather years ago. I must find our He Family’s enemy."

Xue Wen He once told stories of the He Family’s past to Sisi, informing her that her great-grandparents and grandfather were killed by people from R country, who wouldn’t relinquish the secret formula for He Family Wine. After several forced interrogations, they were murdered by those from R country.

He and his mother had survived by hiding with the help of loyal servants. Xue Wen He recalled that a servant who had followed his father returned and disclosed that their captor was a well-known family member from R country, a senior officer in the R military stationed in Shanghai, coveting the treasure of He Family Wine.

But back then, Xue Wen He was too young to do anything substantial, and Granny He, after constantly fleeing and living in fear, was in poor health and passed away after his son grew up and got married.

However, Xue Wen He always remembered this deep-seated blood feud, vowing to avenge his grandparents and father. He had even heard that the R military officer faced no punishment and was living comfortably after returning to his country.

Since she now inhabited the body of the original owner, she definitely intended to avenge Xue Wen He.

Seeing Sisi resolute, Xinhua Tian and Chengsi He no longer tried to dissuade her. But they both decided to guard Sisi’s safety on that day, making sure nothing happened to her.
