Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Now that they've become friends, Shen Chumo naturally doesn't mind offering Li Jingze some pointers regarding his father's situation. The original novel doesn't describe Li Jingze's father's story in much detail.

All the protagonist knew was that several families in the Beijing elite compound had orchestrated the scheme. In the finale, the male lead, in order to investigate the matter, sought out Wu Leiming, a former subordinate of Li Jingze's father. Wu Leiming had been by Li Jingze's father's side for many years and was his right-hand man.

After Li Jingze's father committed suicide, Wu Leiming left Beijing and disappeared without a trace. Everyone assumed that he left because he was too deeply attached to Li Jingze's father and couldn't bear the blow.

But no one knew that Wu Leiming had betrayed his boss and taken a large sum of money, fearing retribution, so he went into hiding and lived a wealthy life with his family under an assumed name.

Wu Leiming is still in Beijing and hasn't left yet. If Li Jingze follows this lead and digs deeper, he might actually be able to prove his father's innocence and clear his name.

...

Xin Lei returned home furious, slammed her bag onto the sofa, and then plopped down on it, crossing her legs.

She grabbed a cup of black tea from the coffee table, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. But the scalding heat stung her throat, and she blurted out, "It's scalding hot! Who brewed this tea? Is this water even meant for drinking?"

After saying that, she angrily slammed the teacup to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound.

A gentle-looking girl stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, "Auntie, I made it."

Yi Yarong had originally intended to show her filial piety to her aunt, but it backfired. Xin Lei glanced at Yi Yarong; she wasn't close to this distant relative who had come to claim kinship, and was already angry.

Ignoring everything else, he directly cursed, "Who told you to do these things on your own? Are you here as a guest or as a servant? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. As expected of someone from a small town, all you do is these low-class things."

As Yi Yarong listened to these harsh words, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best to hold them back and not let them fall.

Although she came from a small town, her parents doted on her and she had always been spoiled. She had never suffered such grievances before. If it weren't for finding a good marriage, she wouldn't have come here to please this cousin she had never met.

Yi Ya suppressed her grievance and said softly, "Auntie, I just wanted to help with something, I didn't mean anything by it. I'll be careful."

Xin Lei snorted coldly, "What's the use of you paying attention? Look at you, you exude a petty and stingy air from the inside out, you're not even as good as that Shen Chumo."

Although she didn't like Shen Chumo, she couldn't deny that Shen Chumo possessed an air of nobility surpassing that of the daughters of wealthy families. Coupled with her ethereal beauty, no one in the area could compare to Shen Chumo.

Unfortunately, Shen Chumo's words could drive her half to death with just a few words.

Yi Yarong bit her lip. When she heard the name Shen Chumo, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. She was just a country girl who had been jilted a few days ago. How dare she compare herself to her?

At this moment, Huo Yunhan came in from outside the door and heard Xin Lei throwing a tantrum again. Ever since returning from Pinggang Village, Xin Lei has been unpredictable, especially after hearing him say that he wanted to reinstate his engagement with Shen Chumo.

"Mom, I'm back."

When Xin Lei saw Huo Yunhan, she quickly got up to help him up. "Yunhan, why didn't you tell Mom you were being discharged from the hospital? I could have come to pick you up."

Huo Yunhan said indifferently, "Anyway, we're all coming back by car, so it doesn't matter whether you come or not."

Looking at the bandaged wound on Huo Yunhan's back, Xin Lei felt a pang of heartache and tears welled up in her eyes. "Your grandfather is too cruel. You are his own grandson, yet he hurt you so badly."

Huo Yunhan put his arm around Xin Lei's shoulder and said, "Alright, Mom, Grandpa knew his limits. This injury will heal in less than a week."

Xin Lei was still furious. "Since you've already taken the beating, then listen to your mother and don't go see that Shen Chumo anymore. I don't approve of you two being together."

Huo Yunhan said helplessly, "Mom, I should be punished according to the family rules. It's not Chu Mo's fault. Chu Mo and I were engaged since childhood. I didn't understand her well enough and was deceived by others. But Chu Mo is a good girl."

Xin Lei pouted: "What good girl? I saw Shen Chumo in the capital today. She spoke rudely to me. I am her elder. How can we expect her to behave if she marries into the family?"

Huo Yunhan asked excitedly, "Chu Mo has come to the capital? Where is she?"

Seeing that Huo Yunhan's focus was entirely on Shen Chumo, Xin Lei became even angrier and blurted out, "With Shen Chumo's vixen-like appearance, there's more than one man around her. Yunhan, if you ever get cheated on in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you today."

Huo Yunhan rubbed his temples and said speechlessly, "Mom, you previously slandered her and were punished by Grandpa with half a year's allowance, and you still don't know how to repent. Now you're saying these baseless things. If Grandpa hears you, you'll be punished again."

Xin Lei angrily slapped Huo Yunhan a few times, "You really are my good son."

"Alright, Mom, where's Dad? I need to talk to him," Huo Yunhan asked.

"Your dad's been so busy these days, I don't even know what he's been up to," Xin Lei said casually.

Huo Yunhan frowned, but didn't say anything more, and got up to go back to his room.

After Huo Yunhan left, Yi Yarong dared to sit next to Xin Lei. Xin Lei didn't like Yi Yarong getting too close to Huo Yunhan, so even though Yi Yarong harbored some unspeakable feelings for Huo Yunhan, she didn't dare to approach him in front of Xin Lei.

Yi Yarong said to Xin Lei solicitously, "Auntie, I see you're tired. How about I give you a massage? I often give my grandma massages at home."

Xin Lei glanced at Yi Yarong and nodded haughtily, "Fine, go ahead and press it."

Yi Yarong carefully massaged Xin Lei's shoulders and neck. After a while, Xin Lei relaxed, and Yi Yarong then asked casually, "Auntie, wasn't Cousin Huo supposed to break off his engagement with Shen Chumo? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Xin Lei frowned and said, "It's all because Shen Chumo looks like that, which captivated your cousin's heart. Plus, your cousin wronged her before and feels guilty towards her."

Yi Yarong blurted out, "Isn't Shen Chumo just a country girl? How pretty can she be?"

Xin Lei didn't scold her; instead, she agreed, saying, "She's just a country girl, that's why she's so ill-mannered."

Seeing how much Xin Lei disliked Shen Chumo, Yi Yarong rolled her eyes and whispered to Xin Lei, "Auntie, now that my cousin knows that Shen Chumo is in the capital, he will definitely go to find her. Why don't I keep an eye on Shen Chumo for you? If she does something shameless, then my cousin will see her true colors."
