Chapter 586: Bandits (15)
"You think there's a future? You're not addicted, are you? You've fallen in love with me? You're just lusting after me, how vulgar..." Wen Wan rattled off, and Gu Weiming's face grew darker and darker. In the end, Gu Weiming gave Wen Wan a hard slap on the buttocks, making her extremely embarrassed. She kept admitting her mistake, which was truly a disgrace.
"What are you doing?" Wen Wan was furious, her face turning red with anger.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hit you again."
Wen Yan: "..."
If you want to shut up, then shut up. At worst, you can just curse in your heart.
Anyway, Gu Weiming can't hear it.
After several days of recovery, Wen Wan finally fully recovered. Taking advantage of Gu Weiming's bullying of her, she acted recklessly in the mountain stronghold without fear of being kicked out. Wen Wan would occasionally chat with the second leader and subtly probe Chen Ziming.
After all, in the later stages, the female lead betrayed the male lead to the point of betraying him.
But it really doesn't seem like it. Compared to Lei Ming's brainless character, Chen Ziming is like a fox. Moreover, he is extremely protective of Gu Weiming and even wary of her.
You're telling me this person would betray the male lead for a woman? That doesn't seem like it at all. But sometimes love is like that; it can blind people and drive rational people crazy. After all, look at the male lead—in the end, didn't he go mad for the female lead? However, Wen Wan still remembered what the system said: the plot of a novel is the plot of a novel, and this person is a person; you can't confuse the two.
However, it's impossible to say that one is completely unaffected by preconceived notions.
Having failed to find anything, Wen Wan gave up. In any case, she had already sent the female lead, Lin Qiao, away, so Chen Ziming had no chance to meet her, and it was even less likely that they would fall in love.
But something happened in between.
Shu Tong is in trouble.
As expected, the Shu family's business suffered some setbacks, and then they wanted Shu Tong to marry into another family.
It wasn't the old warlord from the novel, but a rich young master. Wen Wan asked someone to help investigate him; he was a playboy who slept with both men and women, and his daily routine consisted mostly of sleeping with women and being slept with by men.
Yes, he is indiscriminate in his relationships with both men and women, and he is even the bottom.
This made Wen Wan feel extremely disgusted. If Shu Tong were to marry into that family, wouldn't her whole life be ruined?
Wen Wan sent Lei Ming to the scene, and Lei Ming lived up to expectations, but he went too far. He sneaked into the Shu family's house at night and kidnapped Shu Tong, taking her back to the mountain stronghold.
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan went to see Shu Tong, fearing that she might be having some kind of mental breakdown, but found that Shu Tong was quite calm.
Looking at her, he said, "Ah Yue, you're right. My father really is going to sell me out. They know perfectly well what kind of scoundrel Chen Gui is, but for their own benefit, they still want to push me into the fire. I really don't know if they truly love me."
Wen Wan held Shu Tong in her arms.
She wouldn't tell Shu Tong that even if the marriage didn't happen, there would be countless other opportunities in the future. "Then stay and choose the person you want and the life you want to live. Lei Ming isn't someone who forces people, so you came back with him voluntarily, right?"
Shu Tong nodded.
"He climbed through my window, and I was preparing to kill myself."
"What?"
Wen Wan was shocked, even frightened. If she hadn't called Lei Ming to check, who knows what might have happened.
“The moment he arrived, I no longer wanted to die. I asked him to take me away from home.”
"I suddenly realized you're right. Rather than being manipulated, I'd rather choose my own life. I've been a good girl for over ten years, and this is the first time in my life I've been willful, and it might be the last."
"Even if I made the wrong choice, the worst that could happen is death, and I won't regret it."
"So, do you like thunder?"
Shu Tong blushed slightly, then nodded. "I used to like him, but the moment he appeared yesterday, I knew I really liked him. Even if he's a bandit, I don't care anymore. I think he's great, I..."
Lei Ming, who happened to be passing by, overheard these words and immediately rushed in, grabbing Shu Tong's hand. "What did you say? You like me?"
Shu Tong was incredibly embarrassed. It's fine for best friends to talk about private things, but the person involved overheard it, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Wen Wan stopped Lei Ming, "Where's your manners? Don't you know how to knock?"
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was just too happy."
Wen Wan looked at Lei Ming and said, "Don't be so happy yet. I have something to say. If you can't do it, I won't let Shu Tong follow you."
"Sister-in-law, you said I would give you my life."
"What would I do with your life? First of all, can you guarantee that you'll only love Shu Tong for the rest of your life? That you won't cheat on me or take a concubine?"
Lei Ming: "Yes, if I cheat on my wife, I'll be struck by lightning."
Wen Yan: "..."
She was struck by lightning even though she didn't cheat on her husband; this lightning strike is utterly unreasonable.
"It's good that you're determined, but can you guarantee that my Shutong will have a good life? My Shutong has been a pampered young lady for over ten years, wearing the best clothes and eating the best food. She can't possibly be with you and eating coarse food, can she?"
"I will work hard to earn money, and I will give all my money to Tongtong."
"Have you prepared the betrothal gifts?"
Lei Ming: "I'll start saving now. I'll definitely work hard to earn money. Don't worry, sister-in-law. If I can't do it, not only will my brother beat me, but you won't let me off the hook either. I won't even let myself off the hook."
Shu Tong blushed, "I haven't decided to marry you yet. Let's talk first and see if we're compatible."
"Yes, let's date first, for three to five years. If Lei Ming can't do what I said, I'll take you away and we'll find someone better. Don't let him get you too easily. Men often don't know how to cherish what they have."
Lei Ming looked at Wen Wan with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother also had a whirlwind marriage! You got married after only meeting once, and now you and my brother have a very good relationship, don't you?"
Wen Wan: "Who said that? I'm still observing. If your older brother isn't up to par, I'll kick him out."
Lei Ming: "..." He's really ruthless. He's really worried about his older brother.
"I'm willing to accept the test." His wife will definitely be his, and he will make Shu Tong see his determination and his love.
Afterwards, Wen Wan spoke with Gu Weiming and arranged for Shu Tong to live next door to her, and also asked him to help block Shu Tong's family.
This wasn't a difficult task for Gu Weiming, since even his powerful and wealthy father didn't dare to come up the mountain. Thinking of this, Wen Wan felt something was off. Was Liu Qiming being too quiet? Was he really not going to rescue her? How much time had passed and there was still no movement?
