Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
"Duan Muqing, this is Jiang Tian. My parents confiscated my phone, so this is the only way I can contact you. To be on the safe side, I'll keep it short and sweet. Please listen carefully, okay?"
Jiang Tian explained the whole story in just a few words.
Duan Muqing was so excited that his mind almost went blank. After finally understanding what Jiang Tian meant, he immediately said, "Go on, I'm listening. I'll remember every word you say."
“Okay, it’s like this. Zhou Yuncheng didn’t marry me because he really liked me. It’s because I angered him. He’s resentful of me and wants to get revenge. If he marries me, my life won’t be good, so I want to run away.”
"But the chances are so slim. My parents have completely sided with him. All I can do is seek help. I don't trust anyone else. I hope you can help me, okay?"
When Duan Muqing heard that Jiang Tian was unwilling, he knew that his guess was probably correct.
His heart was filled with heartache.
It's so ironic that someone as good as Jiang Tian was sold off by her parents like a commodity.
He quickly replied, "Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it."
"On the day of the wedding, I'll give you an address. Could you wait for me there? If so, I hope you can help me escape. We'll come back after this period of time is over."
Duan Muqing's heart raced uncontrollably: "...Are you asking me to help you escape?"
He repeated it unconsciously.
"Yes, I don't know many people, and I trust even fewer. Although we had some conflicts before, you can get Cheng Xiuyuan to come to me, so he should agree to my request, right? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, then forget it, and I'll think of another way."
Jiang Tian's tone was very restrained.
Duan Muqing snapped out of his daze and said in a serious tone, "I will. You need to think it through. If you try to run away, you might face a lot of slander."
After several controversies, Jiang Tian had already become a prominent figure.
Jiang Tian chuckled softly, "So what if I get scolded a few times? I don't want to be locked in a cage."
Duan Muqing took a deep breath. Since she wasn't afraid, he wasn't afraid either.
He made so many mistakes before, and now that he finally has a chance to make amends, he certainly won't let it go.
Although Jiang Tian didn't mention their relationship, she entrusted him with this task and sincerely asked for his help. Wasn't that a way of saying that she still had feelings for him?
Once Duan Muqing thought of this, all her inner turmoil disappeared.
He even planned that once the two of them left, he would take all the blame upon himself.
At that time, Jiang Tian will be pure and innocent, and will still be seen as a lady from a prestigious family.
"I'll help you."
"Thank you so much."
Duan Muqing said in a very gentle tone: "I just did what I was supposed to do."
"Okay, then I'll tell you the specific details..."
After the two hung up the phone, Duan Muqing felt like she had regained her energy.
He may not become a great hero in his life, but at least he rescued his beloved, which is a good thing.
The next day, Cheng Xiuyuan inexplicably came to the Duan family again.
Duan Muqing is still under house arrest, but his mental state is much better than yesterday.
Seeing the radiant look in his eyes, Cheng Xiuyuan felt a vague sense of loss.
My cousin was completely despondent before, but now he seems to have been reborn.
Even when he saw him, the gloom in his eyes disappeared.
Duan Muqing looked at him with some curiosity: "Why are you here? Is there anything else?"
Cheng Xiuyuan suddenly became mute.
He remained silent for a while before saying, "You two... aren't you...?"
He spoke vaguely, but Duan Muqing understood.
He couldn't help but smile: "It hasn't reached that stage yet, but... it should be soon."
Cheng Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but he felt incredibly disappointed.
"That's good."
Duan Muqing looked at his cousin, whom he had watched grow up, patted him on the shoulder, and said thank you.
Cheng Xiuyuan forced a smile.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuncheng, who had been riding high all this time, arrived at the Jiang family.
With the wedding date approaching, as the groom-to-be, he should visit Jiang Tian.
"We'll be husband and wife in a few days, are you ready?"
Looking at Jiang Tian, Zhou Yuncheng couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
