Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 7 The Betrothed Childhood Sweetheart
Jiang Shao returned to his room, found the jade pendant belonging to the Gu family, and handed it to Shen Chumo. Even as Shen Chumo took the pendant, Jiang Shao held onto it tightly, refusing to let go.
The thought of losing such an excellent daughter-in-law made Jiang Shao feel like her heart was bleeding. Whether it was her appearance, family background, or her demeanor and temperament, Jiang Shao truly believed that she was the most suitable candidate for her daughter-in-law.
Helpless, Shen Chumo used a bit of skill to forcefully take the jade pendant from Jiang Shao's hand. Jiang Shao, having lost the jade pendant, looked at Shen Chumo with a face full of resentment, much like someone looking at a heartless man.
"Chu Mo, please come visit Auntie often in the future."
Shen Chumo grew impatient, gave a few perfunctory replies, and then took her leave. It was late, and Jiang Shao couldn't very well try to stop her; he could only watch her depart.
After leaving, Jiang Shao clutched her heart and slumped onto the sofa, feeling a surge of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent it. The thought of Gu Beichen still fooling around outside only fueled her rage.
Jiang Shao took out his phone and dialed Gu Beicheng's number.
"Gu Beicheng!! You get home right now! Do you hear me? If you're not back in ten minutes, I don't consider you my son!!!"
Jiang Shao vented his anger on Gu Beicheng, roaring sharply. He was no longer the capable and efficient person he was outside. The servants around him were so frightened that they fell silent. This was the first time they had ever seen President Jiang so angry.
Gu Beicheng was still a bit dazed after being yelled at by Jiang Shao. Yan Shanshan, who was standing nearby, also heard it. She clenched her fists, her face filled with hatred. Why didn't Jiang's mother like her?
Aside from her family's modest financial situation, what's wrong with her?
Yan Shanshan's eyes glistened with tears: "Beicheng, you should go home quickly. Auntie must know you came to see me again, that's why she got so angry."
Gu Beichen felt heartbroken when he saw Yan Shanshan's tears and hugged her. "Silly Shanshan, this is not your fault. It's clearly my mother who is being too unreasonable. But this is the first time my mother has ever been so angry. I'd better go home and check on her, so that she doesn't take her anger out on you again."
Yan Shanshan stiffened for a moment, her eyes darkening. This Gu Beichen was truly useless; it seemed there was no way to get the engagement annuled by him.
She secretly prayed that Shen Chumo was ugly, so that even if the engagement couldn't be broken off, Gu Beichen's heart would still be with her.
Gu Beichen took out his phone to check the time, then pushed Yan Shanshan away and said, "Shanshan, I'm running out of time. Go home by yourself. I won't see you off. See you at school tomorrow."
Yan Shanshan forced a smile, "Okay, go ahead, see you tomorrow."
After Gu Beichen got into the car and left, Yan Shanshan's expression instantly turned indifferent. She took out her phone and dialed a number, her voice trembling with tears, "Ziyin, are you free? I... I've been stranded on the street... I can't get home, I'm so scared..."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Yan Shanshan sat by the roadside and waited quietly. She took out her phone, logged onto the school's online forum, and found that the posts discussing her and Shen Chumo, as well as the posts betting on Shen Chumo's looks, were all gone!
Yan Shanshan refreshed the page several times and confirmed that all the posts had been blocked. Angrily, Yan Shanshan slammed her fist on the ground. Damn it, everything was going wrong today.
Looking at the emptied Tieba forum at home, Shen Lin sighed, "I didn't expect that the school would shut it down so quickly after I submitted the complaint letter today."
Shen Lin glanced at the time, then leaned against the table, feeling a bit down. Why hadn't her sister come back yet? She'd missed her all day.
Having completed her task, Shen Chumo walked briskly away from the Gu family.
She always loved these peaceful nights, when everything was quiet and it felt like she was the only one left in the world.
Shen Chumo hummed an ancient ballad softly, her voice melodious and ethereal, as if she were a spirit from ancient times. She strolled slowly along the path, the moonlight bathing her in a mysterious veil, making her look as beautiful and captivating as a moonlit fairy.
Just then, a silver sedan slowly drove by, its wheels making a soft sound as they rubbed against the ground. Gu Xiyan sat inside the car, his gaze inadvertently glancing out the window and catching sight of the girl's profile.
At that moment, his heart suddenly felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it impossible for him to breathe.
The girl's long, black hair fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance of orchids, as refreshing and pleasant as a clear spring. Her singing voice was clear and melodious, like a fairy's night song, lingering in the air and sweeping away his fatigue and stress.
Gu Xiyan's heart raced, as if a playful little deer was pounding wildly inside her.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling how he had mocked Liu Ziwen yesterday for being smitten by a mere profile, only to find himself in the same predicament. But he felt no embarrassment; instead, a resolute light shone in his eyes.
With a screech, the car stopped not far away. Gu Xiyan clutched his heart, feeling its pounding.
He took a deep breath, then decisively got out of the car and strode after Shen Chumo, who was not far away.
Under the moonlight, Gu Xiyan's figure appeared exceptionally tall and upright. His eyes were filled with anticipation and determination. He decided to pursue the girl who had captured his heart, and he was willing to give it a try no matter what the outcome.
Today, Shen Chumo wore a knee-length, fitted white dress that hugged her shapely figure, highlighting her slender waist and long legs. She wore light pink low-heeled leather shoes, which made her look playful and cute.
Her slender waist and flawless white legs exuded a captivating charm, making Gu Xiyan's eyes darken and a desire he had never felt before surge within him.
"Miss, please wait a moment," Gu Xiyan called softly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Upon hearing the call, Shen Chumo slowly turned her head, her gaze gently falling on Gu Xiyan. Her voice was soft and sweet, like a spring breeze caressing her ear: "Are you calling me?"
The moment Gu Xiyan saw Shen Chumo's face, a strange feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He suddenly understood the meaning expressed in that poem—"Suddenly turning around, I find that person right there where the lights are dim."
He had always been successful in his career, but now, facing this beautiful woman, he was at a loss like a clueless young man, and even his cheeks flushed slightly.
He tried to calm himself and speak as softly as possible, afraid of startling the beautiful woman before him: "I...I was calling you. Hello, my name is Gu Xiyan. I just wanted to ask, what was the name of the song you sang just now? It was really beautiful."
Shen Chumo recalled that this person was indeed mentioned in the original plot—Gu Xiyan, Gu Beicheng's older brother.
However, he was only mentioned very briefly in the original storyline, only occasionally in conversations between Jiang Shao and Gu Beicheng.
