Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 118, The Sickly Beauty Becomes the Darling of the Entertainment Circle "Then how did you contact your friends before? All through calls?" Si Yue asked. "I just returned from abroad and have been staying at home ever since young, so I don't really have any friends." Jiang Xun said. Si Yue couldn't help but imagine a girl who was as sick as Younger Sister Lin lying on the bed weakly. Her exquisitely beautiful face was fascinating, her skin a sickly white, while her lips were pale pink. Her eyes were big and bright but without energy, sadly looking at him, narrating her helplessness and sorrow. The more and more Si Yue thought about it, the more distressed he felt over this girl, who he had never met before, and he actually had an urge to protect her. He sharply shook his head. He really lost his head from the beauty and couldn’t be more of an appearance complex. It was truly hopeless for him, a person with an extreme appearance complex. Si Yue glanced at the screen of his phone. He didn't know what to say for a while and had a lot to ask, but he was afraid of being too abrupt. Si Yue recalled he still didn't know the other party's name, so he asked. "What's your name?" Yet Jiang Xun didn't directly answer him, "We'll talk about it the day after tomorrow, I'm going to bed, good night." After a while, Si Yue replied. "My name is Jian Si Yue, good night." Jiang Xun smiled, but didn’t reply again. She went to wash her face and did a simple facial treatment, then laid down and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Xue Yuan texted the meeting place to her phone. After Jiang Xun and Lawyer Chen talked on the phone, she put on a capable-looking mature makeup. This makeup made her complexion appear much better, so people couldn't see her poor health at all. Jiang Xun had estimated the time. She left the hotel, stopped a taxi at the door and arrived at the agreed place on time. Xue Yuan had also just arrived and ordered a cup of coffee. The coffee hadn’t arrived yet when she saw Jiang Xun pushing in the door. Jiang Xun’s change was unexpected. In her impression, Jiang Xun was still that timid and soft little child, but now she seems to have become a lot more mature. Although she has just turned eighteen, her temperament was different. From her gaze, she could tell that she was no longer that previous weak girl, although she still appeared that thin. Xue Yuan steadily looked at her, her emotions were extremely complicated. It’s not like she didn’t have feelings for Jiang Xun. After all, she grew up watching Jiang Xun and they lived together for several years. However, her feelings towards Jiang Xun couldn’t compare to how deep and strong her feelings were towards Xue Zhou. Especially when she saw Jiang Xun getting increasingly beautiful and more attractive as she grew. She couldn’t help but be jealous of her and even hated her beauty. This, she could bear, but she couldn’t bear Jiang Xun liking Xue Zhou and wanting to take Xue Zhou away. After her divorce, she only had Xue Zhou left. If Jiang Xun and Xue Zhou got together, then she would be alone. Xue Yuan couldn't let this happen. "Aunt Xue." Jiang Xun met her eyes calmly. Aunt Xue? Xue Yuan froze, "What did you call me?" "Aunt Xue, is that not right? Or do you still want me to call you Godmother?" Jiang Xun pursed her mouth and looked at her, confused. Xue Yuan stared at Jiang Xun, dissatisfied, as she replied angrily. "Whatever you want." Since Jiang Xun remained calm and didn’t continue the conversation, the atmosphere was a bit stiff. At this time, the waiter brought the coffee Xue Yuan had just ordered, so Jiang Xun asked for a glass of juice. "When will Lawyer Chen arrive?" Jiang Xun glanced at the phone. She faintly replied, "He should be here soon." Xue Yuan said, "I haven't touched anything your parents left you. The Jiang Company was acquired by Tian Ao Group five years ago, but you still own forty percent of the company's shares, which is the largest shareholder. All the annual dividends are in your account and everything is here." She took out a thick stack of documents from her bag and pushed them in front of Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun didn't rush to pick it up. She only glanced at it, "Let's talk about it when Lawyer Chen arrives." Xue Yuan's face was ugly as she laughed sarcastically, "You’ve changed a lot.” "Isn't this what Aunt Xue wanted to see?" Jiang Xun took a sip of the juice on the table. The freshly squeezed juice was sweet and sour and had a strong fruity fragrance, which made her mood better. Five minutes later, Lawyer Chen finally arrived late. When he saw Jiang Xun, he was surprised. He remembered that the last time he saw Jiang Xun was a few years ago. At that time, Jiang Xun was still a timid young girl. Now, she was a slim and grown-up young lady. Her facial features have grown out to be even more beautiful than her mother. She also appeared much more composed. When he received the call from Jiang Xun yesterday, he was very happy. The task entrusted to him by the Jiang parents could be finally completed. On Jiang Xun's eighteenth birthday, Lawyer Chen called Xue Yuan, but at that time Jiang Xun was abroad and Xue Yuan said she couldn’t come back for the short term. Therefore, the inheritance transfer was delayed. However, he had prepared all the contracts long ago and could handle them at any time. After a few greetings, the three of them entered the true topic. Lawyer Chen took out the Jiang parents’ will certificate from that year with all the integrated materials and handed it to Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun carefully looked through it. The more she looked at it, the more nerve-wracking she became. The money left by Father and Mother Jiang to the original owner far exceeded her imagination. Seeing she was almost done, Lawyer Chen said. "The assets your parents left you include real estate and shares, as well as some deposits. There are three villas in City S, two school district houses, a holiday mansion and a vineyard in Europe. Also, forty percent of the Jiang Company’s shares, which are distributed in dividends of twenty million every year, are stored in a bank account under your name. All of these add up to a valuation of approximately one billion." One billion... … Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly returned to normal. Yeah, just those few villas are worth a hundred million. "Sign here and these will all belong to you." Jiang Xun picked up the pen on the table. She signed her name in the blank signature place with a bright smile. Lawyer Chen also smiled, as if a heavy burden in his heart was released. Xue Yuan emotionlessly stood up. She took out a bunch of keys and two bank cards, "These are the keys to those houses, the password of the bank card is your birthday, I’ll also give them to you this time." Jiang Xun took it and placed it in her pocket. Xue Yuan thought she would say thank you at least, but Jiang Xun didn't say a word. Although Xue Yuan was a little annoyed, she couldn't really say anything. She gritted her teeth, "Since everything’s taken care of, I'll leave first. By the way, you still have some stuff at the Xue house. Give me your address and I will send it to you." Jiang Xun replied calmly, "No need, it's not important, just throw it away." Xue Yuan was taken aback. She stared at her for a while before answering, "It's probably also better." Once Xue Yuan left, Lawyer Chen also stood up. "Then I'm also leaving, the law firm still needs me. Please call me if you have anything to do." Jiang Xun followed him in standing up, "Thank you, Lawyer Chen. Sorry to have troubled you, let me see you off." "You’re welcome, it’s what I should have done. No need to send me off, my car is just stopped by the door." Lawyer Chen waved his hand. He picked up his briefcase and left. Watching Lawyer Chen leave, Jiang Xun then glanced at the bank card in her hand. She thought to herself, does this count as becoming rich overnight? She held the bank card: The money saved by the original owner for the food in a year wasn’t as much as the fraction in this card. This much money that the original owner didn’t have time to spend. She had to help her spend more, or else this will also turn into a regret, which is not conducive to completing the mission. Jiang Xun took action quickly. That afternoon, she spent hundreds of thousands in the shopping mall. If it weren’t because she had plenty of houses and didn’t have a driver’s license, she would still like to buy another two houses and a few more cars. Otherwise, she might never be able to spend all of her money. When Jiang Xun returned to the hotel, she happened to see the things she bought on the web had arrived. She originally planned to stay for another night, but now it seemed unnecessary. She checked out the room with her luggage and then took a taxi to the villa in the city center. After trying two keys, the door opened. The house is spacious and beautiful, but it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. However, it's not particularly dirty. She estimated that someone came here to clean at intervals, only the time interval is relatively long. Jiang Xun's current body was too weak for any physical work. She reluctantly cleaned up a bedroom, changed the bedding and hung up her newly bought clothes. After doing these, she was sweating from tiredness. Once she got out of her phone, she realized she didn’t know when it turned off. Since she had just bought a new phone, she simply took out the SIM card and put it in the new phone. After turning it on, Jiang Xun downloaded apps and logged in them one by one. The moment she logged in onto WeChat, messages popped up. She only had Jian Si Yue as a friend on WeChat, so no one else will send her a message besides him. Jian Si Yue: [Where can we meet tomorrow?] Jian Si Yue: [?] Jian Si Yue: [Voice Message] Jiang Xun was a little surprised when she saw these pieces of news. This person was quite proactive. She clicked on the voice message and a low hoarse voice came from the phone: [Are you okay? Is it because you’re feeling unwell that you’re not returning my messages? If you see these messages, please reply, I’m worried.] Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows. She smiled playfully as she quickly replied: [Something happened when I went out during the day and my phone was turned off.] Jian Si Yue was anxious after waiting an entire day. If he had Jiang Xun’s phone number, he probably would have already called. Nowadays, people practically guard their WeChat. If they don’t reply to WeChat all day, it’s either that they didn’t bring their phone or something has happened. Jian Si Yue recalled Jiang Xun had said she was not in good health and had no friends. Not getting a reply, he couldn't help but start thinking about the worst that could have happened. What if her illness suddenly relapsed? Fallen done alone at home, no one would find her or something else happened. The more Jian Si Yue thought about it, the more worried he became. He could only wait for a reply while holding the phone. When he received the message from Jiang Xun, his heart almost jumped out. This was the first time he was so nervous as a person and it was even a woman he had never seen before. Jian Si Yue felt he had been possessed. Knowing Jiang Xun was okay, Jian Si Yue let out a sigh of relief. He thought about it: [It’s fine as long as you’re fine.] Jiang Xun: [Thank you for your concern.] Jian Si Yue: [You still haven't told me the time and place of meeting tomorrow.] Jiang Xun replied: [You decide, I’m fine with anything.] This put Jian Si Yue in a difficult spot again. If the meeting place was too casual, it won’t be good and it won’t be good if it’s too formal. Should they go to a restaurant, a coffee shop, or find a park to meet? Jian Si Yue didn't know why he wanted to give Jiang Xun a good first impression. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't know where to go. Jiang Xun saw the dialog box kept showing the other party was typing, yet she didn't receive any messages. She put her phone aside with a laugh and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she returned, she saw Jian Si Yue's reply, asking her to meet up at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon in a coffee shop. Noticing the message was sent ten minutes ago, Jiang Xun quickly replied with the word "OK" and then sent another "See you tomorrow." Looking at these words, Jian Si Yue instantly felt endless joy and expectation in his heart. ... On the second day, Jiang Xun woke up naturally. At ten o’clock, she opened her eyes and freshened up. She changed into the new clothes she bought yesterday, a tender green new spring season dress from the C Family, that pinched the waist well. It made her waist seem thin and slender. Moreover, this color is pretty picky. Only people with fair skin will look good in it with a great complexion. Wearing this, Jiang Xun appeared stunning and made people's eyes shine when they looked at her. Her hair was simply twined with a hairpin. Pairing it with this refreshing skirt didn’t disturb the harmony at all. On the contrary, it gave off a classic, elegant and fashionable beauty. After she arrived at the place, she looked inward through the glass window at the door and indeed saw a man with a hint of luck aura. This luck aura couldn’t be considered a son of Heaven, but it was decent. After all, it’s not like there are that many sons of Heaven for Jiang Xun to meet every time. She also didn't feel any regret and walked in right after opening the door. When the waiter saw Jiang Xun, he froze for a long while before he asked in a daze. "Hello, just one person?" Jiang Xun smiled, "No, I’m meeting up with someone." Jiang Xun's soft and gentle voice made the waiter forget where he was and into speechlessness. Jian Si Yue sat not far from the door. He was facing straight at the door so that he could see Jiang Xun as soon as she came in. Therefore, when the waiter talked to Jiang Xun, he saw Jiang Xun, only he didn’t think that Jiang Xun would look better than in the picture. How could the Jiang Xun in the photo be as lively and beautiful as the living Jiang Xun? She was like a luminous elf that fell into the human world, exuding an alluring aura, and her voice was also like a natural melody. Jian Si Yue felt like he was dreaming, otherwise where could he see such a beauty? He blinked vigorously, yet Jiang Xun was slowly walking towards him. Her complexion didn’t seem that good, while her skin seemed white enough to reflect light. She was wearing a little pink lip gloss on her mouth. Those soft lips appeared as cute and tempting as a peach pudding. "Are you Jian Si Yue?" As Jiang Xun looked at him, her eyebrows smoothened out and revealed a sweet smile, with which he could see some white teeth. Jian Si Yue felt he was having trouble breathing. He gulped with difficulty and abruptly stood up, "You... … Hello." He is also a person who’s almost thirty years old. How can he become this nervous when he sees such a young girl? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Younger Sister Lin (林妹妹): refers to 林黛玉, a character from the Chinese novel, Dream of the Red Chamber, who’s beautiful, witty and frail physically.
