Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1015: Those Years 25

Zhou Meijuan’s illness this time is serious. Because it was discovered too late, the prolonged fever has turned into pneumonia. If discovered any later, it might have been dangerous, possibly developing into meningitis.

After being ill for a long time, when Zhou Meijuan recovered and returned to work in the fields, she had lost a lot of weight, appearing frail and weak.

The sudden weight loss made Zhou Meijuan’s eyes look larger, her face smaller, and somewhat more attractive.

Zhou Meijuan became much more silent, no longer whimsical in avoiding work. After finishing her tasks, she quietly sat alone nibbling on a coarse bun, not speaking to anyone.

Many believed Zhou Meijuan had changed her temperament suddenly due to a major event; only Wen Shuangshuang felt unease observing her peculiar demeanor.

Zhou Meijuan seemed to gaze eerily at Lin Qianqian’s back when nobody noticed, which was quite frightening.

If Wen Shuangshuang hadn’t paid special attention to Zhou Meijuan, she wouldn’t have noticed Zhou Meijuan’s subtle expressions and demeanor.

It’s no wonder Zhou Meijuan hated Lin Qianqian; Lin Qianqian’s methods were vicious. Fortunately, with Fang Damei, the branch secretary’s wife, leading to suppress the incident, Zhou Meijuan’s life hasn’t become too unbearable.

A couple of years ago, Zhou Meijuan would have been publicly shamed with labels like a ”loose woman,” unable to live down such humiliation.

Perhaps removing Zhou Meijuan was too easy; these days, Lin Qianqian seems excessively excited, and most annoyingly, she starts deliberately closing the distance with Wen Shuangshuang.

For instance, while working, Wen Shuangshuang usually stuck close to Zhou Meijuan, Sheng Zongze, and Aunt Qi, but recently Lin Qianqian keeps inserting herself, always chatting with Wen Shuangshuang with a friend-seeking attitude.

Wen Shuangshuang finds herself bothered, very annoyed. If it weren’t for Zhou Meijuan’s incident, Wen Shuangshuang wouldn’t think Lin Qianqian started with malicious intent.

However, after Zhou Meijuan’s incident, Wen Shuangshuang is sure Lin Qianqian approaches with ill intentions, especially as Lin Qianqian begins speaking well of Bai Xiaojie.

Wen Shuangshuang knows Lin Qianqian is again trying to match her with Bai Xiaojie, wanting her to experience being abandoned by that scoundrel too.

Wen Shuangshuang thinks Lin Qianqian is neurotic, with malignant ideas, yet lacking intelligence.

Wen Shuangshuang fundamentally differs from Lin Qianqian; Lin Qianqian lacks culture, unaware of literary romance.

For Lin Qianqian, romance is crude simplicity, believing only money-founded grandeur counts as romantic; whereas, Bai Xiaojie is sensitive, seeing poetry in falling leaves and inspiration in spring rain.

To Lin Qianqian, life’s romance can only exist within monetary luxury.

But for Bai Xiaojie, romance is omnipresent: a leaf, a drop of rain, a breeze, colorful clouds, poignant poetry, a spring’s bloom, summer’s insect noises, autumn’s golden crops, winter’s white snow.

Bai Xiaojie and Lin Qianqian have entirely different worldviews, and Lin Qianqian refuses any change, so they’re incompatible.

Wen Shuangshuang can endure hardship yet revel in romance alongside Bai Xiaojie, watching gentle rain, listening to breezes, thus thriving well with Bai Xiaojie.

Whether before or after rebirth, Lin Qianqian never realized why Bai Xiaojie, a scoundrel to her, becomes a good man with Wen Shuangshuang.

Admittedly, despite Lin Qianqian’s flaws, Bai Xiaojie couldn’t resist her allure and manipulations, marrying yet resenting her, treating her with silent contempt, ultimately abandoning her while pregnant, proving his scoundrel nature.

Lin Qianqian may be misguided, but in their marriage, both were wrong, though Bai Xiaojie bore the brunt of the blame.

Wen Shuangshuang harbors complicated feelings for Bai Xiaojie: disdain for his treatment of Lin Qianqian, yet a natural affection from her reincarnation’s influence.

This inner conflict prompts Wen Shuangshuang to avoid Bai Xiaojie, deciding against any interaction whenever possible.

While Wen Shuangshuang employs all strategies to dodge Bai Xiaojie, Lin Qianqian ignorantly tries matchmaking, causing Wen Shuangshuang exasperation.

Wen Shuangshuang intended to distance Lin Qianqian, overtly showing her unwillingness for friendship, yet Lin Qianqian shamelessly pretends ignorance, daily extolling Bai Xiaojie’s virtues.

Wen Shuangshuang utterly fed up; one day, Lin Qianqian’s back again, and Sheng Zongze can’t help but sympathetically glance at Wen Shuangshuang, thinking his gossip-sharing friend is pitifully stuck with a pest.

Wen Shuangshuang feels anything but pitiable; angrily, she grabs Lin Qianqian’s arm, marching towards Qu Chengdong’s work area.

Qu Chengdong is weeding, suddenly overshadowed, looks up to see angry Wen Shuangshuang dragging a bewildered Lin Qianqian.

Before Qu Chengdong can speak, Wen Shuangshuang bursts angrily.

”Comrade Xiao Qu, I must alert you to something; lately, your fiancée, Comrade Xiao Lin, seems interested in another man.

Not only that, she keeps telling me about Comrade Xiao Bai’s exceptional qualities, even detailing his habits entirely, knowing his favored dishes, clearly understanding Comrade Xiao Bai deeply.

I suspect Comrade Xiao Lin harbors special feelings for Comrade Xiao Bai; I hope Comrade Xiao Qu confronts this issue, stopping Comrade Xiao Lin from constantly praising Comrade Xiao Bai to me; I’m worried she’ll stray down a wrong path.”
