Meanwhile, Jiang Shining returned home in a car. She felt she had said everything she could. In the end, wasn’t the Wei family destroyed because of the male protagonist? If this young master Wei had listened to even a little bit of what she said, the Wei family probably wouldn’t perish.
After getting off the car and entering the Marshal’s Mansion, Jiang Shining saw Xu Lingxin anxiously waiting at the door, clutching a handkerchief. As soon as their eyes met, Xu Lingxin quickly ran over.
Jiang Shining couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong with you? You look like a cat that’s been smeared with fish.”
“Oh my goodness, you must be joking! What time is it?” Xu Lingxin said anxiously, “Where did you rush off to this afternoon?”
“What’s wrong?”
“The commander-in-chief came back furious and is waiting for you inside! I’ve been waiting at the door for ages to see you, you devil, just to let you know so you don’t go in without knowing anything,” Xu Lingxin said. “What exactly did you do?”
“I went shopping,” Jiang Shining said casually. She patted the third concubine on the shoulder before walking inside.
Sure enough, Chen Jiacheng’s chest heaved, his expression was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was suppressing his anger, and he sat in the main seat drinking tea irritably.
As soon as he saw Jiang Shining enter, he slammed his teacup down, startling the third concubine behind Jiang Shining.
“Jiang Yiru! Come here and kneel down!” Chen Jiacheng roared.
Jiang Shining didn’t move, just stood there, and slowly said, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Jiacheng was almost driven mad by her. Jiang Yiru seemed obedient, but in reality, she never listened to him at all.
“Did you get my permission to go see that guy surnamed Wei this afternoon?” Chen Jiacheng said angrily. “Don’t forget who you are.”
“I went to apologize in person precisely because I didn’t forget my place.”
“What did you say?!” Chen Jiacheng slammed his fist on the table. “I just dealt with that bast**d, and you apologize the next minute? Aren’t you slapping me in the face?”
“On the contrary, if you hit someone and I apologize, people will think that you, General, are fair and just,” Jiang Shining said patiently. “Besides, don’t forget the power behind the Wei family.”
“Me… I’m afraid of him? The worst that can happen is we’ll fight a war!”
Excellent! In the original story, it was because of this battle that Chen Jiacheng lost his elite troops, which led to the later outcome.
“Do you really want me to discuss Miss Luan’s matter here in the main hall?” Jiang Shining said calmly. “It’s fine if you’re not afraid of the Wei family, but the people pursuing her are all big shots in their respective industries, and you’re the most hated among them. If the others unite against you and find other forces, even if you win, you won’t gain anything. When other forces see you’re weak, they’ll take advantage of the situation. What will happen to Dongcheng? What will happen to the Marshal’s Mansion?”
“This…” Chen Jiacheng was taken aback. The situation was indeed not good, and Chen Jiacheng hadn’t told his family, but Jiang Shining’s words did make some sense. However, he couldn’t back down, and said with dissatisfaction, “Then what’s the use of you going to see that guy surnamed Wei?”
The two were locked in a stalemate when a soldier ran in from outside.
“General… Someone from the Wei family just came outside with a message and a letter for you.”
“Speak,” Chen Jiacheng said, frowning.
“Young Master Wei said that he and his mother are leaving the city today to return to their ancestral home. They apologize for any offense they may have caused, and hope the Commander will forgive them,” the soldier shouted righteously. “He also said, ‘We’ve already been beaten, so how can we call it even?'”
Chen Jiacheng was stunned. He had long harbored a grudge against this young master Wei, unable to kill him and unwilling to fall out with the Wei family’s backers. So he was always causing trouble. Now, this little grandson had actually left?
Looking at Jiang Yiru’s calm expression, Chen Jiacheng felt a mix of emotions.
“Well, actually, there’s something else Young Master Wei wants to say to Madam, but I don’t know if I should.”
Chen Jiacheng glared at him and said, “Speak.”
The soldier snapped to attention.
“He also said that the Marshal’s wife is a truly virtuous wife and loving mother, good in every way. She is gentle and lovely, and that’s the kind of wife one should look for. It’s just that her words can be infuriating. He hopes that she can reflect on herself and not take the opportunity to insult people next time she apologizes. Otherwise…” The soldier almost couldn’t finish his sentence, “Otherwise, her voice is actually quite sweet.”
“Damn it!” Chen Jiacheng roared, “This lecherous bast**d not only tried to steal Luan Heli from me, but he also dared to harass my wife? I’ll kill him!”
Upon hearing that the Wei family had left, Jiang Shining knew her mission was progressing well. Ignoring Chen Jiacheng’s commotion, she turned and left, intending to go back and rest. Behind her, Chen Jiacheng cried out in despair, “Did I say you could leave? Do you even respect me as your commander anymore?”
It’s too noisy.
Jiang Shining gave Xu Lingxin a look, and Xu Lingxin walked in with a smile.
“Oh, Marshal, come on, have some water to cool down…”
Jiang Shining estimated that if Young Master Wei didn’t form an alliance with the other male supporting characters out of hatred, the original plot would be better. After all, her main job was to smooth out the plot and make the future look better. If the major figures didn’t fight each other, things would definitely be much better. When the male lead showed up to settle scores, there wouldn’t be any serious consequences.
She spent two or three years cultivating good relationships among women. When women whispered in men’s ears, there was no conflict of interest, which at least prevented Chen Jiacheng from making too many enemies.
Chen Jiacheng must not die within ten years, otherwise Dongcheng would be thrown into turmoil.
Jiang Shining’s meeting with the female lead directly made the other male supporting characters less attentive to her than in the original novel, and therefore not particularly hostile. Even Luan Heli seemed quite normal; she realized that people in this world, as long as reason prevailed and there were no conflicts of interest, were all intelligent. Therefore, the male lead’s presence made things much better.
As it turned out, Jiang Shining underestimated the power of the original work on the male and female protagonists.
It turned out even when everyone else was normal; the male lead was still the ultimate boss. As expected, Luan Heli fell for him the moment he appeared. Their relationship was tumultuous for a year before they finally got together.
The male protagonist then began his retribution, unleashing his domineering, Republican-era CEO persona to make everyone who bullied the female protagonist pay the price. Of course, the male supporting characters who relentlessly pursued the female protagonist were also part of his ‘bullying’ scheme.
Even so, everyone’s ending was better than in the original story. In the original, the male protagonist ruined all the other male supporting characters, some suffered family ruin, some went bankrupt, and some even died. But this time, because Young Master Wei left the earliest, he was almost unaffected. Although the other families were also troubled, none of them died, and their businesses remained. They simply left Dongcheng and several nearby cities to avoid the storm.
Only Chen Jiacheng couldn’t leave.
The male protagonist went to war with Chen Jiacheng, and as cannon fodder, Chen Jiacheng was destined to lose. After losing, to avenge Chen Jiacheng’s previous harassment of Luan Heli, the male protagonist stormed into Dongcheng, intending to execute Chen Jiacheng in front of everyone as a deterrent. In the original novel, this part was to prevent the female protagonist from arriving too late and witnessing him execute Chen Jiacheng, causing her to throw a tantrum because of his cold-blooded behavior; we’ll leave that aside for now.
But when Chen Jiacheng was brought out under guard, all the maids, the old woman, and the two concubines in the entire Marshal’s mansion wept uncontrollably, and the other commoners watched with unease. Only Jiang Shining felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
If Chen Jiacheng died, Dongcheng would descend into chaos, and the people would suffer. Then her mission would be over. She would die if she failed to complete her mission.
Now that things had come to this… she didn’t know if what she was doing would change the outcome, but she was going to die anyway, so she might as well go for it!
The male protagonist was standing behind Chen Jiacheng. Just a second before he fired, someone rushed out from the side.
Bang–!
Jiang Shining felt a numbness in her lower back, as if something icy cold had touched her. Her consciousness was fading, and she felt herself being turned over. She saw Chen Jiacheng shouting, but she couldn’t hear anything.
The world went silent.
Chen Jiacheng reached out and touched her face with trembling hands; his hands were covered in blood.
Jiang Shining didn’t look at him; her gaze was fixed on the white clouds and sunlight in the sky.
Why me? Jiang Shining wondered. Why was it me who got hit by the car and had to suffer all this? I didn’t do anything wrong.
That’s so unfair.
Seconds before she lost consciousness, she regained her hearing. She heard Luan Heli screaming and running towards her, trying to stop the male lead.
Jiang Shining finally fainted with relief.
She thought she was going to die, but while she was unconscious, her soul returned to the Bureau.
“Transmigrator No. 154800, you have completed your mission in the fictional Republic of China world. According to calculations, the abnormal plot of this world has been straightened out,” the robot said.
“Uh, okay.” Jiang Shining knew that death in this world wasn’t real death, so she said, “If I complete the mission, I won’t disappear, right? Then… let’s begin the next mission?”
The robot shook its head.
“One of your tasks is complete, but the other is not,” he said. “You need to go back and raise the next generation. Only when they reach adulthood and are deemed qualified can you be considered fully successful. Well then, good luck on your mission, goodbye.”
