Wen Shuang woke up to find himself transmigrated into a pure love novel as cannon fodder, a two-faced, materialistic, and vain character who extensively casts nets and ruthlessly reels in fish.
...Chapter 98 Storm
The filming progress was quite fast, and Huang Taiyue happened to have something to do at home, so she gave Wen Shuang a day off.
Wen Shuang originally planned to accompany Xuan Zhe to the company, but the man showed no mercy! In short, after a messy meal, he couldn't get up. President Xuan ate and drank enough and went to work alone. When Wen Shuang woke up again, it was already afternoon. His phone was vibrating non-stop. He frowned and touched it, without even looking at the caller ID. He swiped twice based on his feeling before answering, "Hmm"
"Still sleeping?" Tan Li's rather shocked voice sounded from the other side: "You are so confused about day and night. Stop sleeping and come and eat."
Thinking it was some restaurant, Wen Shuang refused with a hoarse voice, "No, I'm very sleepy."
"My mother is making braised pork, do you want to come?" Tan Li said with a smile, with a bit of coaxing.
"Hmm" Wen Shuang pulled his head out of the pillow. He was no longer sleepy when talking about this. "Now?"
"Yeah, it should be ready in half an hour."
Wen Shuang got up and was about to get out of bed when she suddenly thought of something: "I'm wearing normal clothes."
Tan Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into a very cunning laugh, "Hahahaha... ahem! Wear whatever you want. I told my mom a long time ago that Xiaoshuang and I broke up because of personality differences. She was quite disappointed. She must really like you."
Wen Shuang shook off the goose bumps on her arms: "Then you tell your auntie, and I'll come."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Shuang quickly washed up, put on a set of casual clothes, mainly to cover her face, then drove an inconspicuous car from Xuanzhe's garage and sped away.
When they arrived, Tan Li was leaning against a bare old locust tree. Wen Shuang parked the car and got out, flattered. "I can still be treated like this. Tang Weisheng will not kill me if he knows about it."
"Nonsense." Tan Li straightened up. "I was afraid you'd forget the house number. Let's go."
Tan's mother only knew that Tan Li had invited a friend over, so she cooked two more dishes. Sure enough, her son had good taste. The young man who came today was polite and had a good appetite. He could finish most of the braised pork. This was a great comfort to the cook.
The last person who made her so satisfied was her son's ex-girlfriend. After hearing Tan Li say that their personalities were incompatible, how could they be considered compatible? Tan's mother respected her son's choice but didn't say it out loud. In fact, she felt very sorry in her heart.
The person being pitied finished the second bowl of rice and scooped a few spoonfuls of chicken soup. Wen Shuang felt some energy restored after eating it. The system also felt the return of its energy. Unless Xuan Zhe was around, it would stick to Wen Shuang, absorbing energy while satisfying its cravings.
"Mom, are you going out later?" Tan Li asked.
Tan's mother nodded and said, "Well, several flowers on the balcony died. I plan to plant some new seedlings. Well, if you have something to do, just go about your business and don't worry about me."
"Not busy." Tan Li continued.
Tan's mother looked at Wen Shuang, and the child shook her head like a rattle: "No hurry, no hurry."
Tan's mother's eyes were full of love. To be more precise, she saw the shadow of someone else in Wen Shuang. Tan Li wanted to laugh when he saw her. His mother was obsessed with Wen Shuang in women's clothing. The last time Tan Li brought Tang Weisheng here, Tan's mother must have seen the relationship between them and didn't object. She just whispered to Tan Li before leaving, "She's pretty, polite, and well-spoken, but...her appetite is too small."
Tan Li: “…”
After getting in the car, Tang Weisheng repeatedly asked what Tan's mother had said, but there was no way for Tan Li to tell him everything. It was conceivable how deeply this incident had hit Tang Weisheng. He had seen people trying to win the favor of their elders in various ways, but he had never seen anyone do it by being a freeloader.
Simply put, Wen Shuangtian defeats Tang Weisheng.
Wen Shuang helped wash the dishes. Last time when he was dressed as a woman, he called her "Xiao Shuang", and this time he called her "Xiao Wen". Fortunately, there was no third chance to get to know Tan's mother again, otherwise a two-character name would not be enough.
After that, Tan Li and Wen Shuang accompanied Tan's mother to buy flower seedlings. There was an old flower and bird market five minutes after crossing the road. Tan's mother was full of energy, with a handsome man on her left and a handsome man on her right. She bought two evergreens and asparagus fern. On the way back, she reminded Tan Li to take time to bring Wei Sheng to dinner. Wen Shuang was immediately overjoyed. The progress was so fast.
In fact, it could be faster, Tan Li was helpless, but Tang Weisheng was shy and took a long time to prepare every time. The first time, he even didn't sleep for a whole night. When Tan Li felt that this kind of meeting was both hope and pressure for him, he thought about reducing the number of times.
"By the way, there is no salt at home." Tan's mother said.
Tan Li quickly responded, "That little shop on the roadside, right? I'll go there."
Tan's mother raised her voice: "Three dollars a pack, just say you're my son, otherwise the boss will charge you three dollars and fifty cents!"
“I know, I know!”
Wen Shuang supported Tan's mother as she walked towards the residential complex. They talked about the same old topics: how old were you, what was your job, were you married, and were single. Wen Shuang answered them one by one, and made some modifications to the inconveniences. When they reached the gate, the wind suddenly blew up, and the sky was foggy, much darker than before. The air was chilly, and it looked like it was going to snow again.
"Auntie..." Wen Shuang said softly. He caught a glimpse of a motorcycle coming their way from the corner of his eye. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the other party seemed to be going quite fast. His long experience of stepping on landmines and his own sensitivity suddenly took over. Wen Shuang's heart went cold, and then a chill spread from his chest. He looked up suddenly and heard the harsh electronic sound of the system: "Warning! Warning!"
A man wrapped in a helmet sat on the motorcycle. Not only did he not change lanes or slow down, he even stepped on the accelerator as he approached. Wen Shuang saw a hand reaching out from behind him, which seemed to be a brick. Everything happened too fast. Wen Shuang hugged Tan's mother to her arms and quickly ran back to the residential area. However, no matter how fast a person ran, he could not outrun the car. Seeing that the route was wrong, the other party actually chased after him!
The sound of the engine was getting closer and closer. Pian Tan's mother had difficulty walking and she misstepped and fell in panic. Wen Shuang turned around and saw that the man had raised his arm. His eyes were cloudy and cold. He would never give up until he achieved his goal. He was a real desperado.
"Mom!!!" Tan Li's voice, carried by the cold wind, hit Wen Shuang's eardrums. He finally realized that the other party's target was not him, but Tan's mother...
Wen Shuang opened her arms to protect Tan's mother, thinking that since she was what the system called "the child of destiny", then blocking this attack should not be a problem...
Isn't that a problem?
"Wen Shuang!" The system became anxious and violated the program warning in its body. The entire sphere expanded rapidly, and tiny lightning condensed around it.
The moment the man smashed the brick down, the system exploded: "Electrocute you!!!"
Question: Is a brick or 50 volts more powerful?
Anything above 36 can electrocute a person. The man's originally ferocious and ferocious posture paused slightly, and then he raised his head and twitched continuously. The next second, he fell off his horse, and the motorcycle swayed seven or eight meters and hit a tree. The man fell beside Wen Shuang with a bang, still twitching.
At this moment, Tan Li had already run over. The panic on his face had not yet dissipated, and it was completely covered by a gloomy and murderous aura.
Wen Shuang took off the man's helmet with a cold face. He was a sloppy, unkempt stranger whom she had never seen before.
Tan's mother was still a little out of shape, and Tan Li's aura was almost suppressed, but there was a storm brewing in his eyes. Without saying a word, he turned off all the water and electricity in the house, took two sets of clothes for Tan's mother, tied up the unconscious man and threw him into the trunk, and finally left with Wen Shuang and the others.
In the car, Wen Shuang was comforting Tan's mother while watching Tan Li make no less than twenty phone calls. The man was on the verge of exploding, with veins bulging on the back of his hand holding the steering wheel. Tan's mother was Tan Li's weak spot, and he couldn't even touch her.
During the journey, Tang Weisheng received a call. Tan Li answered the phone and said without any emotion, "Someone is causing trouble for my mother." Tang Weisheng knew the seriousness of the matter. He and Tan Li drove to the hospital almost one after the other. Tan's mother was old and had to have a full body check-up before Tan Li could feel at ease.
Wen Shuang felt that she was fine and didn't need it at all, and then she was pushed in by Tan Li and Tang Weisheng from the left and right.
Tang Weisheng waited outside with Tan Li, holding hands with the man, "Auntie, good fortune will come to you, don't worry."
"Yeah." Tan Li's jawline was tense, sharp and cold. "Whoever messes with my mother, I will kill him."
Tang Weisheng nodded and said it was his duty.
Tan's mother had a slight knee strain. She sat at the head of the bed, covered with the quilt, watching her son on the phone through the crack in the door. Her face was so gloomy that it looked like water could be wrung out of it. She was filled with worry for a moment: "Weisheng, talk to Tan Li properly. That man might just be after money. Hand him over to the police and let them sentence him accordingly."
Tang Weisheng: "Don't worry, Auntie, Tan Li knows his limits."
Wen Shuang was safe and sound, with the dormant system in his pocket. He had to say he felt a little distressed, after all, this little thing had always been noisy and accompanying him, and it was a bit difficult to adapt to its sudden silence.
Wen Shuang leaned against the wall and waited for Tan Li to finish the call. Since there was nothing wrong, he went back first. Unexpectedly, the person who was quite lively just now suddenly froze. Wen Shuang could vaguely hear the person on the other end of the phone still chattering from a distance of three meters away, but Tan Li was like someone who was under a spell, motionless. "Bang!" The phone suddenly fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"What's wrong?" Wen Shuang straightened up.
Tang Weisheng also came out of the ward, closed the door, and stared at Tan Li: "Did you find out?"
Have you found out... Tan Li turned around stiffly. He clearly had no expression, but for a moment he looked a little distant. Although it was fleeting and did not convey much information, it was enough for Tang Weisheng.
The second person to freeze was Tang Weisheng. He guessed something, but his mind was blank.
Wen Shuang: “…”
No way...
Finally, Tang Wei came to life. He seemed to have been drained of all his vitality. His steps were unsteady and he walked slowly at first. Later, he was furious. He grabbed Tan Li by the collar. He knew it was wrong, but he used brute force to pin him against the wall. His eyes were red, desperate for a negative answer: "It's not Tang Wansu! It's not Tang Wansu, right!"
Tan Li's almost frozen heart felt an unbearable pain. He realized how cruel this was to Tang Weisheng. His throat choked up. Tan Li took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, it wasn't Tang Wansu."
But Tang Weisheng didn't feel relieved at all after hearing him say that, because the answer was obvious.
"Hahaha..." Tang Weisheng let go of Tan Li and chuckled sadly. He covered half of his face with one hand and staggered back, with water seeping out from between his fingers.
He probably owed Tang Wansu a hundred or eighty lives in his previous life, so he had to repay her in this life.
"Take good care of Auntie." Tang Weisheng distanced himself from Tan Li, "I'm going to run something."
Looking at Tang Weisheng's back, Tan Li didn't chase him for the first time. How could he chase him and with what right? His mother was almost injured at the doorstep. Even if Tang Wansu's original intention was just to make him unhappy and not to kill anyone, what if that man used more force? What if Wen Shuang didn't come today and was not with her mother at all? Wouldn't he lose his only relative in the world? Tan Li admitted that the moment he knew that Tang Wansu was the mastermind behind the scenes, he really hated her! Even Tang Weisheng, who was connected to her by blood, was covered in a layer of ash.
Until Tang Weisheng disappeared, Tan Li was exhausted.
Wen Shuang stepped forward to support him: "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Tan Li closed his eyes, thinking about waiting for both Tang Weisheng and him to calm down before thinking about how to deal with this matter. He couldn't let it go, but once he investigated too deeply, his relationship with Tang Weisheng would face disaster... Tan Li suddenly refused to think about it.
But many years later, Tan Li still regretted it. In the panic of almost losing his mother, he forgot Tang Weisheng's determination to perish together with his mother, and regretted that he should have chased him that day.
