Chapter 79: Pretty Widow 1: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
[A new world has opened, the story is loading...]
...
Bridal lounge.
A girl in a pure white wedding dress sat in front of the dressing table, her long hair tied up and wearing a simple veil.
The girl had a beautiful face, delicate eyebrows, exquisite facial features, light makeup on her face, plump pale pink lips, a typical beauty.
He has very fair skin, a slender neck, and protruding collarbones on both sides that are white with a hint of pink. The perfect right-angled curves outline an excellent figure that easily attracts other people's attention.
The girl fell asleep while sitting on the chair, letting the makeup artist do the final touches on her.
"Ms. Wu, your makeup and hair are ready."
The makeup artist spoke softly, then picked up her makeup box and left the lounge.
Beautiful instrumental music was playing in the lounge. The girl finally woke up to the slow music.
His long and thick eyelashes trembled, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he seemed to have taken a lot of effort to open his eyes.
There were two rows of white makeup lights installed on the dressing table. The girl in the mirror slowly raised her eyes, her watery eyes like an autumn pond, hazy, and looked at herself in the mirror in confusion.
Wu Lan finally regained consciousness. He subconsciously moved closer to the mirror, only to find that the girl in the mirror was doing the same thing as him.
Thinking she was hallucinating, Wu Lan wanted to rub her eyes, but was stopped by 2720.
【There is makeup on your face, so don’t rub it.】
Wu Lan was stunned again, blinking blankly, looking down at herself, then looking up at the girl in the mirror, her brain froze.
2720 gave Wu Lan some time to react, and then continued the character introduction.
You are a child adopted by the Qi family, living as a girl. Your mother, who preferred girls, was unhappy after giving birth to two boys. Seeing this, your father decided to adopt a girl.
Something unexpected happened during the adoption process. Only after the adoption paperwork was completed did Qi's father discover you were a boy. By then, you had already met Qi's mother, who was very impressed with you. After some thought, Qi's father decided to have you dress as a woman to please her.
[Your life was okay at first, but after Qi's mother passed away, your situation changed. You were no longer useful. No one liked you, and you knew full well that the Qi family had no place for you.]
So, when Qi's father asked you to marry a wealthy businessman, you agreed without a second thought, completely forgetting that you were a boy.
After listening for a long time, Wu Lan still didn't hear the specific content of the task.
Seeing Wu Lan's confusion, 2720 explained, "The mission has not yet been triggered. The mission will be announced after it is triggered."
Wu Lan said "oh".
Suddenly, he thought of something and touched his bulging chest carefully. His face turned pale and his voice trembled a little. He looked very scared.
[System, you said I was a man dressed as a woman, but why do I have breasts?]
2720 glanced at the slightly bulging chest and said, "Don't worry, it's fake."
【Fake? 】
Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and looked at his appearance in the mirror. He turned around awkwardly and clenched his hands together.
Although he often wore maid skirts and was often dressed as a girl in the previous world, this was his first time wearing a wedding dress, and he felt a little awkward.
[System, do I look weird? ]
2720 also stared at the beautiful young bride in the mirror, his gaze turning over her fair and beautiful face before he slowly said, "No wonder. You look especially good in your wedding dress."
Wu Lan's face turned red. When he wanted to say something, the door of the lounge was opened.
"Ms. Wu, the wedding is about to begin, please follow me."
*
Wu Lan was led out by the staff in a daze. He stood in front of a wooden door. A middle-aged man in a suit was standing there, obviously waiting for him.
2720【This is your father, Qi Mingyi.】
"Coming?"
Qi Mingyi was originally looking at his watch, and only raised his eyelids when he saw someone coming.
When he saw the girl coming towards him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and only came to his senses after the girl walked up to him and called him father.
He had never taken this child seriously before. This was the first time he looked at Wu Lan straight in the eye, and he discovered that this child actually had a beautiful face.
It’s a pity that it’s a boy.
He hummed coldly, bent his arm and motioned Wu Lan to hold it.
As the door opened, Qi Mingyi whispered, "After you marry me, be a good wife and don't do anything else. Don't let him find out you're a man."
"If you were sent back..."
Before Qi Mingyi could finish his words, the door in front of him opened. Before Wu Lan could hear the rest of his words, Qi Mingyi led her inside.
The hall was full of people, wedding theme music was playing all around, and everyone's attention was focused on the bride.
The slim bride wore a pure white wedding dress with a slender waist that outlined her perfect figure. The skirt was very long, only revealing her pointed high heels.
The bride had a white veil on her head, through which her beautiful and delicate face was faintly visible, attracting great attention.
Wu Lan was not very good at wearing high heels, so she walked very slowly. If she hadn't been holding Qi Mingyi's arm, she would probably have fallen.
He was not used to being stared at by so many people, and the temperature on his face slowly rose. He kept his head down and didn't dare to look around.
After a while, the two stopped.
After Qi Mingyi handed Wu Lan's hand to a tall man, Wu Lan looked up at the other person.
The man is tall and handsome, and every move he makes exudes the charm of a mature man.
However, the man's eyes were cold and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Wu Lan has always been afraid of this kind of people.
He quickly lowered his head, missing the quick flash of surprise in the other person's eyes, and nervously clenched his hands into fists.
The ceremony that followed was just like what Wu Lan had seen on TV before. After they finished saying their vows with the priest, they began to exchange rings.
Wu Lan was still silently repeating the name of the other person he had just heard in his mind when his hand was suddenly lifted up and the man put a diamond ring on his finger.
When it was his turn to put the ring on the other person's finger, something unexpected happened.
The tightly closed door of the auditorium was kicked open, and a masked man in black rushed in with a pistol in his hand.
As the gunshots rang out, the scene began to become chaotic, with guests screaming and pushing each other, and the perfect wedding ceremony became a complete mess.
Two 'bangs'.
Wu Lan was knocked to the ground, her fair little face turned pale with fright in an instant, and she watched helplessly as her husband was shot twice and fell to the ground, blood soaking his suit and quickly spreading.
Seeing someone fall, the auditorium became even more chaotic.
The man in black who fired the shot took advantage of the chaos to leave, and most of the guests in the auditorium had also left. The flowers and ribbons originally used for decoration were scattered all over the floor, making it a mess.
Wu Lan is closest to her husband.
He bravely crawled over and carefully touched the other person's chest, getting his hands stained with blood.
I pulled my hand back in fear, but the other person grabbed it tightly.
"Wu Lan..."
Wu Lan heard the man calling him. He leaned over to hear clearly and found that the man had fainted. His handsome face had lost all color and was extremely pale.
...
Sitting at the door of the hospital's emergency room, Wu Lan was only wearing a coat and her wedding dress underneath.
The pure white wedding dress was stained with blood, the white and red colors were very eye-catching.
Until now, Wu Lan's face was still pale, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he was trembling all over, looking like a frightened kitten, so pitiful.
There were many people standing at the door of the emergency room, and almost everyone subconsciously looked at the beautiful little bride sitting on the chair with pity in their eyes.
It's really sad to encounter such a thing on your wedding day.
Wu Lan didn't notice that everyone was looking at him.
He clenched his hands into fists, his pink fingertips turning white from exertion, his eyes filled with fear, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the incident.
[System, will he die? ]
2720 Unable to give an answer, [I don’t know.]
To be honest, Wu Lan had no feelings for her husband, who was on the verge of death. He was just frightened. Seeing a living person shot and fell to the ground in front of him would terrify anyone.
And in his impression, when the man in black came in, his husband seemed to be protecting him behind him.
Just for this reason, he really didn't want anything to happen to the other party.
Finally, the door of the emergency room was opened.
"The bullet casing has been removed from the patient's body, but he is still in critical condition and needs to be admitted to the ICU for observation."
Wu Lan only heard the doctor say this, and then he was sent back by a man who claimed to be the housekeeper.
A black car was driving on the road.
A lot happened in just half a day, and Wu Lan needed some time to digest it.
He stared blankly at the street lights passing by outside the window, when he suddenly heard the mission announcement of 2720.
[Beep! You thought you'd be able to live a carefree life by marrying Shen Yulin, but unexpectedly, such a mishap occurred on your wedding day. Shen Yulin is now in imminent danger, and your situation has become extremely difficult.]
You are well aware that what happened today was a conspiracy, someone behind the scenes plotting to kill Shen Yulin. Shen Yulin has numerous properties and has accumulated enormous wealth. Once Shen Yulin dies, all of his wealth will be transferred to you.
[But this is not a good thing. Everyone's eyes are on your property, and you will become the next poor victim.]
[Cannon fodder identity: Wu Lan, an unwelcome bride who married Shen Yulin disguised as a woman.]
[This mission: 1. Find the mastermind behind the harm to the Shen family; 2. Protect your husband's property.]
Perhaps because he saw Shen Yulin being shot and falling down with his own eyes, Wu Lan felt that this world was more dangerous than any other world and the mission was more difficult.
2720 [The small world you previously experienced was C-level, while this one is B-level, and the difficulty has increased accordingly. The greater the difficulty, the greater the rewards. Don't be afraid, I will do my best to help you.]
Wu Lan pursed her lips and secretly encouraged herself.
Seeing the little boy still looking frightened and pitiful, 2720 thought for a moment and said, "If Shen Yulin can survive, your mission will be less difficult."
Wu Lan also understood this.
He whispered quietly in his heart, "I hope he can survive and not die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat suddenly received a call and turned on the hands-free mode.
"The speakerphone is on, and the lady is listening."
Wu Lan was stunned for a moment and looked at the phone in the other person's hand. The word "butler" was displayed on the screen.
Soon, the butler's voice came from inside:
"Ma'am, the doctor just told me that the sir, the sir, is dying."
The butler's voice was choked with sobs. It was obvious that the other party was very sad and was trying hard to control his emotions. "Madam, did you hear that?"
The car stopped at some point.
Wu Lan stared blankly at the phone showing that it was on a call, unable to react for a moment. Her mouth was slightly open, and her pale face became even paler.
"Madam, Madam..."
The housekeeper's voice came from the phone. Wu Lan felt strangely cold and shivered all over. The backs of his tightly clasped hands were covered with a layer of coldness and were gently patted.
He thought it was 2720 comforting him.
"I, I understand."
Wu Lan's voice trembled, and his thin shoulders were shaking slightly under his coat. He felt even colder, and felt confused and helpless inside.
After the call was disconnected, the car fell into silence.
No one dared to speak.
In the rearview mirror, the beautiful little bride looked pale, her pink lips had lost their color, and her watery eyes had become dull and lifeless after hearing the news of her husband's death. She looked very pitiful.
The driver and bodyguard couldn't bear to look back, so they could only silently stare at the pitiful bride in the rearview mirror.
But no one noticed that there was a man sitting next to the young bride, Shen Yulin.
