Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 524: Borrowed by the Strategy Team Again
Why are you still at home? Aren't you going to work?
"I took leave because I was worried about you, so I stayed home with you."
"It's rare to see someone as dedicated and hardworking as Secretary Ning taking leave."
Ning Wei was half relieved and started teasing, "Then don't let Secretary Ning's leave go to waste. Get up and eat. I didn't ask the housekeeper to come; I made breakfast myself. There's only porridge and eggs."
"I need to take a shower first, and then I'll change these two duvet covers."
That's right, the intermittent obsessive-compulsive disorder has flared up, so the stress shouldn't be a big problem.
"OK!"
After getting up from his makeshift bed, Jiang Xingye looked back and felt a warm glow in his heart. It was so nice that someone had laid out a blanket and brought him a pillow. In the past, he would have had to curl up on the floor all night in this situation.
"Weiwei~" Jiang Xingye shouted loudly in the bathroom.
"what?"
"I didn't bring my pajamas."
Ning Wei was completely confused. "And then what?" He was at home. Didn't he usually just come out wrapped in a towel after taking a shower?
"Baby~"
"Wait, I'll get you your pajamas."
"No, thank you. Where's the shower gel?"
Ning Wei roughly understood his mindset, so she simply stood at the door and casually replied, "It's on the shelf."
"Weiwei, where's the shampoo?"
"It's inside."
"I need to brush my teeth."
"Um."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xingye, wrapped in a bath towel and with his hair dripping wet, opened the door and first hugged Ning Wei, who was standing at the door.
"Dry your hair."
"I'm hungry, I want to eat," Jiang Xingye mumbled in her ear.
"Fine, go eat, I'll wipe you down." Ning Wei compromised and led him to the dining table, where a bowl of porridge, a few fried eggs, and two small dishes of pickled vegetables were already laid out.
She grabbed a dry towel and stood behind him to wipe his hair: "Just something to tide you over. Auntie will be cooking lunch, so I'll ask her to make something light and easy to digest."
"Okay." Jiang Xingye ate a fried egg in two bites. "What did you have for breakfast?"
"Just like you."
After the meal, Ning Wei cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, while Jiang Xingye tidied up the bedding on the floor, changed the duvet cover, and put it in the washing machine.
When Jiang Xingye came out, he saw Ning Wei sitting on the sofa reading a book. He leaned over and lay down on her lap. Ning Wei reached out and touched his hair, which was almost dry.
"What excuse did your uncle use to invite you to Genting Highlands yesterday?"
"He said that if I wanted to know who I needed to marry, I should go to him."
"Are you stupid? You'll go just because he calls you?" Ning Wei paused, her hand stroking his hair.
Jiang Xingye moved his head and rubbed it against her palm.
"Even if I don't go this time, he'll find other ways to deal with me. He's the second most cunning guy in the Jiang family."
Ning Wei continued to stroke his hair, making him half-close his eyes in comfort.
"Who's number one?"
"Old man."
"No wonder your Jiang family is full of conspiracies and schemes; it turns out your roots are rotten."
"Yes, the old man is very concerned about his reputation. The reason I was stressed was not only dishonorable, but also essentially a crime. He explicitly forbade me from using this matter to provoke him, so my uncle dared not go too far and make me need emergency medical attention."
"Did you even receive emergency treatment?" A flicker of gloom crossed Ning Wei's eyes.
"I was in a deep coma when I was little." After that, the old man gave Jiang Xingyu and his mother a good beating, and they didn't dare to deliberately take me to the rooftop again.
Ning Wei was heartbroken. How difficult must it have been for such a young child to survive and grow up in a place like the Jiang family? She rummaged through the things in her space in her consciousness. This world did not allow the use of things related to cultivation and fantasy, and it was also a world where the Heavenly Net was basically complete, so many things were not working properly.
"How much dirt and evidence do you have on the Chiang family?"
Jiang Xingye didn't reply immediately, so Ning Wei spoke up: "Can't you say? Then forget it."
"No, it's a bit embarrassing."
"Um?"
"Over the years, I haven't come into contact with anything too core."
Something's not right," Ning Wei thought. Two years after the previous failed missions, Jiang Xingye ruined the Jiang family, and almost the entire Jiang family was sent to prison. Of course, his own fate was the same: he jumped off a building and died.
What happened in the next two years? What price did he pay to gain access to those things?
"There's a lawyer who's been with the old man for a long time. He must have a lot of information. I've stumbled upon some things about him, and we've been testing each other lately."
"What?"
"His son isn't his biological son. Back then, he had a biological son. More than ten years ago, the old man was fighting with his rival for a piece of land. At the most crucial moment, Lawyer Liu's son was kidnapped by the other party. The old man insisted on waiting until the land dispute was settled before paying the ransom. When they found him, the child already had lividity and many of his bones were broken."
"When Attorney Liu was building his empire with the old man, he was injured and could no longer have children. After this incident, the old man was in the wrong, but instead of comforting Attorney Liu, he stopped trusting him and prevented him from accessing core matters."
Five years ago, Attorney Liu gradually gained a foothold by the old man's side again. He also had a boy who looked somewhat like him by his side, who was said to be his biological son obtained through technological means.
Ning Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Is he lying to your grandfather?"
"To the outside world, he dotes on his youngest son, but I accidentally discovered that the child is very afraid of him. It's not the kind of fear you feel towards a strict father, but a deep-seated fear. The child's behavior is also somewhat rigid. So I did some research and found that in Lawyer Liu's hometown, there was a couple who died unexpectedly seven years ago, and their son was adopted abroad."
"The couple were Lawyer Liu's cousin and cousin-in-law. The claim that they died unexpectedly seemed a bit off, so I did some research and found that the child was the couple's son, and the adoption was also related to Lawyer Liu."
"When Attorney Liu found out I was investigating this matter, he actually started contacting me and said some suggestive things. I think he probably wanted to get revenge on my grandfather and wanted to cooperate with me."
Ning Wei tightened her grip, gathering his hair together: "No, this person is too cunning; he's trying to use you."
"I know, before it didn't matter as long as the goal was achieved, but now I won't risk it all."
"Good boy." Ning Wei took his hand and kissed it.
"I'm good, you can't leave me."
"I won't leave. I told you, I came here for you."
"Love at first sight? Am I that good-looking?"
"Yes, I was attracted to her beauty." Ning Wei teased him, going along with his words.
Jiang Xingye pursed his lips, but couldn't help but say, "But there were a few moments when your eyes seemed to be looking at me, as if you were reminiscing about someone."
Ning Wei: "..."
She's quite sensitive. In the beginning, sometimes his eyes looked so desolate. With the same appearance but different eyes, Ning Wei would lose her composure for a few seconds, and that's when she got caught!
"You must have investigated me, right? Do you think I have anyone I miss?"
