Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 248

The moment she saw the red invitation card, Sheng Yue was shocked, her complexion turning deathly pale, her lips trembling, and her mind went blank.

It was her again, why her again?

She swiftly reached out and swept her handbag to the ground, causing the red invitation to fall and unfold, revealing the writing on it.

Five days…

Sheng Yue blinked, coming back to herself, and shakily reached out to pick up the phone to call Ji Chengzhou.

When Ji Chengzhou saw Sheng Yue’s call, a flicker of irritation crossed his eyes, and he almost instinctively hung up. But then he remembered that today was the first day of their engagement.

He answered the call with an expressionless face and heard Sheng Yue’s trembling, choking voice, “The red invitation… I… I received the red invitation…”

Ji Chengzhou suddenly sat up straight, his expression changing in an instant.

In matters of life and death, Ji Chengzhou did not act impulsively. He quickly instructed Sheng Yue to stay indoors and avoid contact with anyone as much as possible.

“I’ll contact Captain Chen now. The fewer people you interact with, the better protected you’ll be. Remember, don’t go out,” Ji Chengzhou warned in a deep voice.

Sheng Yue bit her lip and nodded, “Okay, okay, Chengzhou, you must save me, you must save me.”

The horrifying scenes from the last time at that terrible hospital flashed before her eyes, and Sheng Yue was trembling all over…

Ji Chengzhou comforted Sheng Yue and immediately called Chen Qingnan.

Chen Qingnan was naturally calmer and said he would go find Sheng Nuan for help… After all, last time at that special children’s care hospital, if it weren’t for Sheng Nuan, even if they had fought, they would have been burned to death in the end.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Chengzhou felt very conflicted.

Today, he witnessed firsthand how cold and heartless the Sheng family was towards Sheng Nuan, their daughter without any bl00d relation. To force her to bow to Sheng Yue and protect Sheng Yue’s face, they even went as far as to cut off ties with her.

But now, they might have to rely on Sheng Nuan to save people… and him.

A sudden thought emerged in Ji Chengzhou’s mind: Sheng Yue would pull him along.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Sheng Yue’s call came through again.

She trembled and sobbed softly, pleading, “Chengzhou, you will accompany me, right? You will definitely accompany me, won’t you?”

Ji Chengzhou tugged at the corners of his mouth, gave a faint hum, and then heard Sheng Yue’s voice on the other end, crying with joy.

After hanging up, Ji Chengzhou felt a complicated mix of emotions.

He couldn’t help but think about the last time he received the red invitation and immediately told Sheng Yue not to come near him. Sheng Yue indeed never came to find him… Meanwhile, in that ghostly space, Sheng Nuan remained steadfast with Ji Rong, regardless of life and death.

But this time, when Sheng Yue received the invitation, she immediately wanted him to accompany her… because last time she had been implicated by him.

Ji Chengzhou knew that Sheng Yue must be thinking this way in her heart.

Soon, Sheng Yong’an and the others also learned about the red invitation… The family of three went from disbelief to utter panic, no longer willing to believe but also having to accept the fact.

Because it was Chen Qingnan who personally went to the Sheng family.

At the same time, Sheng Yong’an and his family also learned that Sheng Nuan had helped others escape unscathed twice before.

“I’ll go find Sheng Nuan, this is what she should do!”Sheng Yong’an said without hesitation.

Beside him, Sheng Muyang looked somewhat conflicted.

He had previously been annoyed by Sheng Nuan’s various tantrums and troubles when Sheng Yue first returned, and later about her unclear relationship with Sheng Yue’s fiancé… But no matter what, she had been someone he treated as a sister for the past twenty years.

Sheng Muyang didn’t share his parents’ resentment about their biological daughter suffering in Sheng Nuan’s place while Sheng Nuan enjoyed their daughter’s blessings, so when he heard his father unhesitatingly decide to go to Sheng Nuan again, he felt a momentary pang of reluctance.

He said, “I’ll accompany Yue’er.”

Sheng Yong’an was stunned for a moment and looked up, “What did you say?”

Sheng Muyang replied seriously, “Since it’s so dangerous, what can a girl like Sheng Nuan do? And hasn’t father already severed ties with her? We…”

“Even though we’ve severed ties, she still owes us. The Sheng family has supported her for twenty years, and now it’s time for her to repay us.”

Sheng Muyang whispered, “You already this when when she married Ji Rong last time. Dad, Mom, don’t you really… aren’t you worried about Sheng Nuan at all?”

Tao Hui, her eyes red-rimmed, said, “Yang Yang, Mom knows you have a kind heart, but no matter what, Yue’er is your biological sister. We don’t want things to be like this, but didn’t Captain Chen say he would also go to Nuan Nuan? Since that’s the case, there’s no problem with your father going, right?”

Sheng Muyang fell silent…

The next day, Sheng Yong’an, Tao Hui, and Sheng Muyang appeared at the Ji family house simultaneously. They sat in the living room, facing Sheng Nuan and Ji Rong, with Ji Chengzhou sitting beside them.

“Yue’er is your sister. You have to make this trip!” Sheng Yong’an said in a deep voice.

Ji Rong lounged lazily, crossing his legs, squeezing and playing with Sheng Nuan’s hand, not even sparing a glance at the Sheng family members.

Sheng Nuan let out a sneer, “If I remember correctly, didn’t you just announce that you’ve already kicked me out of the house?”

Sheng Yong’an’s face turned green with anger as he coldly scolded, “The Sheng family raised you for twenty years. This is what you owe the Sheng family!”

Ji Chengzhou frowned, disgust flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Ji Rong calmly raised his eyes, “Name your price.”

Sheng Yong’an was stunned for a moment, “What?”

“The Sheng family has raised my wife for twenty years. How much money do you want? Name your price.”

Sheng Yong’an’s face instantly turned ashen…

Ji Rong clicked his tongue, still looking as laid-back as ever, but with an air of nonchalance. “If you’re asking for help, act like you’re asking for help. If you yell at my wife again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Ji Rong squeezed Sheng Nuan’s hand, calmly looking at the three Sheng family members, “If I don’t agree, let’s see if any of you can force her to do something she doesn’t want to do.”

As Ji Rong finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell into dead silence.

Ji Chengzhou was somewhat surprised. He casually glanced at Ji Rong but saw that he still had his usual indifferent and agreeable demeanor. Smiling, he looked up at Sheng Nuan and said, “Don’t be afraid, Wife, I’m here.”

Sheng Nuan laughed…

At this moment, Tao Hui spoke. She and Sheng Yong’an always played the roles of good cop and bad cop. Tao Hui wiped her tears, “Nuan Nuan, you and Yue’er are both the flesh of my heart. If there’s a way, Mom doesn’t want either of you to get hurt…”

Before Tao Hui could finish, Sheng Nuan interrupted her, “Enough, don’t say these pleasantries. Let’s sign the agreement.”

Tao Hui was puzzled, “What agreement?”

Sheng Nuan took out two agreements from the coffee table, “This time I’ll accompany Sheng Yue to ensure she comes back alive. In exchange, there will be no more ties between me and the Sheng family. You also don’t have to say you’re supporting me for twenty years anymore… With this agreement, we’ll sever all ties in black and white.”

Sheng Muyang’s expression slightly changed, “Nuan Nuan…”

Sheng Nuan didn’t look at him, instead leaning back on the sofa as she looked at Sheng Yong’an. “Sign it. Once the agreement is signed, there’s no need for any unnecessary words.”

Sheng Yong’an froze for a moment, then silently took the agreement, opened it, glanced over it, and saw that Sheng Nuan had already signed her name, clearly knowing they were coming.

Sheng Yong’an, with a tense face, swiftly signed his name… Beside him, Sheng Muyang looked at Sheng Nuan, who appeared indifferent, feeling an overwhelming complexity of emotions.

He couldn’t understand how, when they were once a family, things had come to this point…
