Chapter 578: Bandits (7)
After that, the two began to discuss the rescue, but no one knew about it, not even Wen Wan. She lived a very comfortable life in the mountain stronghold every day. In fact, if you ignored the fact that Gu Weiming was trying to deceive her, this life was really the life that Wen Wan had dreamed of.
In the end, she successfully won over most of the villagers and made them accept her as their "sister-in-law."
Lei Ming, in particular, followed Wen Wan around every day, asking her to introduce him to girlfriends. After all, this mountain stronghold was full of stinky men, and even if they were women, Lin Xiaoqiao wouldn't be interested in him, so naturally he didn't like that green tea-like woman either. He preferred gentle and cute women, like Lin Qiao.
It's a pity that the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent; they are simply not meant to be.
Wen Wan was speechless.
“Brother Lei Ming! It’s not that I don’t want to introduce you to girls, but the problem is that I can’t leave the mountain stronghold at all, and I can’t contact any friends outside either. How can I introduce you to any girls?”
Lei Ming: "..."
"Does my sister-in-law mean that as long as I can go out, she can introduce me to a girlfriend?"
Wen Wan: Isn't it impossible for her to get out?
So he nodded, "Of course, you've been the best person to me since I came here, I'll definitely find you a great girl."
Lei Ming thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then I'll take you out, and I promise I won't let my brother know."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Really? But sister-in-law, you're not going to run away, are you?" Lei Ming asked with some concern.
Wen Wan: "Of course not. You can always protect me, can't you even keep an eye on a weak woman like me? Besides, I'm already married to your older brother, so naturally I belong to him in life and in death."
...
To Wen Wan's surprise, Lei Ming actually took her out.
We arrived in town.
Wen Wan was genuinely surprised and had a feeling that something was amiss. How could someone so brainless be the third-in-command? Maybe, like last time, the male lead knew everything and was just testing her to see if she would run away.
Wen Wan: "Lei Ming, if you want to find a wife, you'll first need to change your appearance. Did you bring any money?"
Lei Ming: "I brought it."
So afterwards, Wen Wan took Lei Ming shopping and bought him a well-fitting suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes.
This was the first time Lei Ming had worn such expensive clothes and shoes, and he felt like a hundred ants were crawling all over his body.
"Do I really have to dress like this?"
"Clothes make the man, and a well-dressed man will always make a better first impression. Besides, all my friends are well-educated young ladies from prominent families. They have high standards. If you keep wearing old-fashioned clothes, they might be scared away."
"But I want to win her over with my personal charm, not by pretending."
"Personal charm can be gradually revealed, but if you don't even have a first impression, then who are you showing it to?"
Lei Ming thought it made perfect sense. "Sister-in-law is indeed sister-in-law; she knows more than I do."
Wen Wan chuckled, "So listen to me."
Afterwards, Wen Wan also bought a small dress and a pair of red high heels.
Afterwards, she went to the hair salon and asked the hairdresser to give Lei Ming a handsome new hairstyle. As for herself, she also got her hair permed and styled into a trendy curl.
Wen Wan wore a mask the whole time, after all, she didn't want her face to cause any trouble.
Just as Wen Wan was about to fall asleep, things finally calmed down, while Lei Ming on the side seemed like a completely different person.
He was already quite handsome to begin with, and with a new suit and hairstyle, he's definitely a good-looking guy.
Even Lei Ming, looking at himself in the mirror, could hardly recognize himself.
Wen Wan wasn't really just going through the motions with Lei Ming; after all, he had taken her out shopping. So she borrowed his phone and called a few of the original owner's close friends.
The other party readily agreed, and the group met at a coffee shop.
As soon as she saw Wen Wan, she rushed over and said, "Zhenyue, are you alright? I heard you were kidnapped, I was so scared."
Wen Wan: "Do I look like something's wrong?"
The three women Wen Wan chose were her closest friends from the original owner of the body, and they weren't just casual acquaintances.
"No, your skin has become much whiter, and you look great. Besides, this dress is the most fashionable style. You're wearing it, so you don't look like you're suffering at all."
Wen Wan introduced, "Lei Ming, this is my younger brother."
“Lei Ming, this is Qin Xiaoya, this is Liu Yue, and this is Shu Tong.”
Lei Ming was extremely nervous, but he still remembered his sister-in-law's words: he had to stay calm and make a very good first impression on the other party.
"Hello, I am Lei Ming."
"When did you have a younger brother? How come we didn't know?"
"Tell me slowly."
Wen Wan quickly and simply explained the situation. When they learned that Lei Ming was a bandit, the three of them were very surprised, but they did not do anything impolite. They breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Wen Wan was doing well and that Gu Weiming was not as cruel or ugly as the rumors suggested.
After all, they do know their friends.
She's a bit vain and has a thing for looks.
"Then what about your engagement with Chen Heng?"
Wen Wan: "That was just a joke my parents made when I was a child. I don't like him."
This was also said to Lei Ming, who was standing to the side.
"That's true, it's just a pity. Chen Heng has always liked you and wouldn't marry anyone but you."
"He insists on marrying no one but me? He has several lovers, and he's never had the same woman twice. He only insists on marrying no one but me because my father is Liu Qiming."
The three of them: "..."
Afterwards, the group had a meal. Wen Wan didn't say anything specifically to help Lei Ming, but instead let him cook for himself.
To be honest, after the meal, Lei Ming actually developed a liking for a girl and even got her contact information.
Wen Wan asked the three of them to keep her visit a secret.
On the way back to the mountain stronghold, Lei Ming was unusually excited. "Sister-in-law, do you think Shu Tong will like me?"
Wen Wan: "I don't know. You can't be sure about matters of the heart. I'm curious, though, why did you choose Shu Tong?"
Shu Tong was the quietest of the three, a typical well-behaved girl.
She was actually a bit different from Lei Ming's ideal type, and not as pretty and refined as the other two young ladies.
“I just fell for her. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her, and I had the urge to marry her.”
Wen Yan: "..."
"Then you'd better work hard. And remember, if she doesn't like you, you can't do anything to force her. She's my friend. If you dare to do anything bad, I'll have your older brother hang you up and beat you up."
"Of course, sister-in-law. Although I'm not very educated, I know that women are like flowers, they need to be carefully protected. Sister-in-law, could you tell me more about Shu Tong?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Sure enough, she was love-struck. Wen Wan asked the system to retrieve the information that Shu Tong could find. The information was very simple, after all, this character was just a minor character. Shu Tong's family owned a textile factory, her father was a famous textile factory owner, and she was born to her father's third concubine. She was not very favored, but she was not abused either. However, the ending was not good. When war came, the textile factory went bankrupt.
