Chapter 18 Going Back to the Villa Together

Thinking of Su Yang's kindness towards her, Wenyan simply couldn't bear to see her so upset.

She decided to do something for the family.

"Mom, don't be unhappy, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back tomorrow."

"Yanyan, you're getting more and more thoughtful. I'm not upset. You should rest early and not stay up late all the time just because you're young, you know? It's not good for your skin either."

"I know, Mom. You should rest early too."

After hanging up the phone, Wenyan immediately looked up Shen Jinghe's WeChat.

Staring at the blank chat window, Wenyan deliberately chose something she knew he would like, searched for a set of kitten emojis, and sent one with a greeting.

A cute kitten stretching its paw, 'hello' JPG.

After sending the greeting, Wenyan put down her phone, not expecting Shen Jinghe to reply immediately.

But to her surprise, just as she stood up, Shen Jinghe's message arrived.

However, the guy was sparing with his words, sending only one character.

'Speak'

Wenyan raised an eyebrow, quite the cool character.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting each other's time, Wenyan directly stated her purpose.

'Are you free tomorrow? You owe me a favor, don't you? I'd like for you to repay it.'

Shen Jinghe on the other side of the phone was taken aback.

So soon?

But he had promised her, and he would have to repay her sooner or later, better sooner than later.

'You say.'

"......." Wenyan again raised an eyebrow. Not bad, one more word than before.

Wenyan directly replied to the message he had sent:

'To avoid any misunderstandings, I need to clarify things with you first. So, by saying that, you mean you're free tomorrow, right? Am I understanding this correctly?'

'Hmm'

'That's great. I need an afternoon and an evening of your time, do you have it?'

'It's available'

Wenyan: ... available or not available, "it's available," goddamn "it's available."

'Okay, I need you to come home with me for a visit, join mom and dad for dinner, and stay the night at home.'

'No'

'Why not?! I haven't broken the law or morality. Why can't you repay this favor?'

'No'

'Fine, if you won't go, then I'll change the condition. Aren't you friends with the director of "Lost Voice"? Then talk to him and let me play the lead actress in the movie.'

'.......There's no lead actress in that movie'

'Then let me play the most prominent female role.'

'Wenyan, it's dark. I suggest you turn off the light and go to sleep. May your dreams come true.'

Wenyan: ...... Damn it!

She thought about it and then rapidly typed on her phone screen.

'Heh, that's it? That's all? Is that your level? No wonder people talk about you that way.'

'.......'

'1. Come home with me for dinner and stay the night. 2. Get me a lead role in a big production. Choose one. Don't be a man who breaks his word.'

This time, Wenyan did not get an immediate reply.

The chat interface kept showing 'The other party is typing...'

After a while, Shen Jinghe's message finally came through.

'You win, 1'

That's more like it! The 'battle' ended, and Wenyan, feeling victorious, was in a good mood.

She quickly struck while the iron was hot.

'Cat high-five, 'Deal' JPG… Tomorrow at 3 pm, wait for me at home, and I'll come to pick you up.'

'No need'

'You don't get a say in this. What if you stood me up? I must personally take you there.'

'... as you wish'

'Then have a good rest; you worked hard today. Cat heart JPG.'

After sending that emoji, Wenyan immediately sent a message to Su Yang.

'Mom, I have a surprise for you tomorrow! You will definitely be happy. Heart JPG.'

-

Su Yang actually didn't care whether her children would prepare surprises for her. As long as they came home happy, called her 'Mom', and gave her a hug, she was already very content.

Therefore, she didn't take the surprise Wenyan spoke of to heart.

Not until she saw her second son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, get out of Wenyan's sports car did she realize that this was the surprise her daughter had prepared for her.

She loved the surprise so much!

So much that she immediately went out to meet them as she saw this scene through the window.

Shen Zhirou came out with Su Yang as well.

This was the first time Wenyan had seen Shen Zhirou since transmigrating into the book.

Zhirou, true to her name, looked seventy percent like Su Yang, with a dignified and graceful demeanor.

When Su Yang and Shen Jinghe were talking, she even took the initiative to approach Wenyan to say hello.

"You're back. I thought you'd go to the company. I didn't expect that the birthday banquet would be the last time I saw you."

While talking to Wenyan, Shen Zhirou behaved in a mature and easygoing manner, with no indication of wanting to compete with Wenyan.

After her soul transmigrated into the original body, the original body's memories did not emerge on their own. Each time, Wenyan had to actively explore them.

Now, after a general exploration, Wenyan found that Zhirou had always been quite generous to the original body.

After returning to the Shen Family, she didn't take the initiative to harm the fake heiress. Instead, it was the original body that repeatedly provoked Zhirou, always regarding her as her greatest enemy and setting traps.

Now, Wenyan decided to correct these mistakes.

She smiled friendly at Shen Zhirou: "I've had a change of heart and decided to do what I love, so I didn't go to the company. By the way, Zhirou, do you like desserts? I've brought some back. Shall we try them later?"

Shen Zhirou gave Wenyan a once-over, a fleeting, indistinct emotion quickly flashing in her eyes: "Sure."
