Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

And so, each of them, with their own thoughts, eagerly awaited the arrival of the wedding.

The day arrived slowly and steadily, much to everyone's anticipation.

That morning, Xia Mingwei was dressed in her wedding gown with the help of others.

That dazzling red outfit was so bright it hurt the eyes.

Her beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror, and Xia Mingwei unconsciously touched her face.

Such a beautiful face.

Before she could bask in her own beauty for long, Zhou Ying pushed open the door.

Seeing Xia Mingwei dressed like this today, he was also a little stunned.

Perhaps due to her long stay in the military camp, even though Xia Mingwei had revealed her identity as a woman to the world, her daily attire was still mainly neat and capable.

Now dressed in such feminine attire, anyone who saw her would praise her, saying she was truly a striking beauty. But remembering her mission, Zhou Ying quickly snapped back to reality. She immediately put on a smiling face and went to greet her.

She took Xia Mingwei's hand and looked her up and down carefully, praising, "I really underestimated my daughter before. Now that I see her, she's like a fairy descended from heaven! It's just a pity that I haven't had a proper conversation with you yet, and now it's going to be that Wu family boy's turn to have you!"

Today is Xia Mingwei's wedding day, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be her last day in the Xia family. Zhou Ying is in a good mood and doesn't mind saying nice things to flatter Xia Mingwei.

She spoke these words without batting an eye, as if the whispered words between them had never existed. If an outsider had overheard, they would have believed she was an extremely loving mother. Who would have imagined that she was the one who pushed her own daughter into the abyss?

Even knowing that she had ill intentions, Xia Mingwei was in no hurry to expose her true colors, after all, the best part was yet to come.

Xia Mingwei replied with a smile, "Is that really what Mother thinks? Since Mother is so reluctant to part with me, then I'll break off this marriage with the Wu family and stay home with Mother from now on, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ying's smile froze, almost crumbling. She withdrew her hand and said awkwardly, "What kind of daughter stays at home with her mother after marriage? You child, talking nonsense! The wedding procession is about to set off; how can you just call off the engagement like that?"

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei's smile faded, and her voice turned cold. "It seems that what Mother said before wasn't sincere. It seems that Mother is determined to marry me off to the Wu family. Then Mother doesn't need to say anything more today!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying was at a loss for words. She had only intended to offer some polite remarks to ease the tension between them, but Xia Mingwei hadn't expected her to act so unpredictably, effectively shutting her down. What could she possibly say? Should she tell her she didn't need to get married?

The marriage is a done deal, and no matter how unwilling Xia Mingwei is, it has to happen today.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ying clenched her fists and told herself that as long as she endured one more day, she could get rid of this wretched girl!

Zhou Ying calmed herself down and put on a smile, saying, "Your mother and brother have wronged you in the past, but your brother has already paid the price! If you still feel resentful and hateful, then vent it on me. I will avenge your brother! Now that you are getting married, I hope you can forgive everything that happened before! Let's put aside our hatred and live a good life together, okay?"

Xia Mingwei mentally praised Zhou Ying's acting skills to Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, look! If this were in modern times, her acting would definitely be award-winning! After I said those things, she could still sincerely beg for forgiveness. How many people could do that!"

Xiao Ba, clutching the snacks in his arms, chimed in, "This should be good enough for a mini-Oscar, right?"

After saying this, Xiao Ba chewed on a potato chip and mumbled, "Host, don't just watch her act; you have to learn from her too. It'll be helpful for future missions!"

Xia Mingwei tapped Xiao Ba's head, "Then you just wait and see! Watch how I handle this situation!"

After talking with Xiao Ba, Xia Mingwei composed herself and quickly put on the role of an "obedient and good daughter".

She took Zhou Ying's hand again, her eyes slightly misty, and said, "Mother, don't say that. I was wrong too! I was too impulsive before. How could I do such a thing to my brother? He is, after all, my own brother!"

As she said this, Xia Mingwei even shed a few tears. However, how much of those tears were genuine emotion remained to be seen!

Xia Mingwei covered her face and sobbed softly, "Mother, you're right! I'll listen to you. After I get married, I'll still have to rely on you and my brother! From now on, our family will work together and live a good life!"

Hearing Xia Mingwei's answer, Zhou Ying finally smiled with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ba, after witnessing Xia Mingwei's superb singing and recitation, was speechless with astonishment. When did her host become so powerful?

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying was also busy. She beckoned her personal maid, who was always by her side, to come forward. The maid carried a pot of wine and presented it steadily.

Xia Mingwei watched all this, her face showing a suitable expression of confusion.

Zhou Ying quickly poured two cups of wine, handing one to Xia Mingwei and saying, "Now that we've talked things out, let me pour you another cup. Let's drink this together and consider it letting go of the past!"

As if to prove her innocence, Zhou Ying drank the wine first and showed the empty glass to Xia Mingwei.

At the same time, Xiao Ba also reminded Xia Mingwei in her mind, "Host, don't drink that wine. There's something wrong with that wine pot. It's been laced with a drug that will make you sleepy!"

But Xia Mingwei seemed not to hear at all. She took the wine glass from Zhou Ying's hand and drank it.

Zhou Ying watched her drink the wine, feeling extremely satisfied. She knew that this potent sleeping potion was hard to find! Even if Xia Mingwei was highly skilled in martial arts, she could put a bull to sleep today!

Seeing that her task was completed, Zhou Ying was anxious to go back and discuss the next steps with Xia Wei, so she said to Xia Mingwei, "Then I won't bother you anymore! You can rest here for a while!" Xia Mingwei obediently nodded in response to Zhou Ying's instructions.

After Zhou Ying left the room, Xia Mingwei's face instantly fell. Perhaps Zhou Ying was too happy and hadn't thought things through; how had things gone so smoothly today?
