Chapter 17 The Easiest Woman to Coax
Half an hour ago.
As Lin Zheng leaned against the wall in the bathroom, feeling dizzy, he almost instantly guessed that this must be Shen hope's doing again, since no one else would be following him all this time.
That's why I quickly asked the system to add points.
He even put all five skill points into mental power, just in case.
[Add points successfully]
Congratulations on obtaining the basic energy ability - Determined Willpower!
[The effect is that you will be able to easily see through ordinary lies, and the effect of things that affect your willpower will be halved.]
[Your current mental strength is at level five; mild hypnotic drugs will no longer have an effect on you.]
After Lin Zheng lay down on the ground, the system's voice and abilities slowly entered his body.
He regained consciousness almost immediately and heard the bathroom door being opened, but he still kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
The offender's contemptuous snort immediately told Lin Zheng who it was—it was indeed Shen hope.
But how did I fall into a coma?
And what was she doing here so late at night?
Hmm? Is she wiping my body?
Ouch! Be gentle! That area is very sensitive, why are you rubbing it so roughly with a towel!
Lin Zheng felt himself being carried out of the bathroom by Shen hope. The moment he stepped out of the bathroom, his breathing no longer felt heavy. It seemed that Shen hope had just put something like a sleeping potion in the bathroom vent.
She was placed on the bedside and dressed.
But as he pulled up his pants, even without opening his eyes, Lin Zheng could clearly feel the woman staring at his life and fortune, and she uttered a disdainful voice: "Ugly."
Lin Zheng wanted to laugh inwardly; it was just sour grapes.
The next moment, she threw him hard onto the bed and arranged him like a mummy.
It wasn't until Jiang Huaimeng went inside and Shen Xi left that Lin Zheng roughly understood the other party's purpose for tonight.
He went to all that trouble just to apply medicine to himself.
What a thoughtful fiancée!
To everyone's surprise, the woman ruthlessly tore open her wound the next moment. Although the wound wasn't big, it was clearly scabbed over and almost healed.
She just ripped the band-aid off herself, and Lin Zheng cursed inwardly from the pain.
"See, I told you it wasn't applied properly, it's still bleeding." The boss was quite pleased with himself as he applied the medicine to Lin Zheng with his own hand.
Lin Zhengquan understood now.
Is it because Xia Yi's sister applied medicine to her during the day that she got jealous?
It has to be said that this really fits Jiang Huaimeng's love-starved personality. She finally has someone who has liked her since childhood, so naturally she wouldn't want anyone else to touch her.
Fortunately, she was gentle when applying the medicine, although the next moment she started taking advantage of me, touching and groping me.
However, listening to Jiang Huaimeng's sickly-sweet self-talk, Lin Zheng inexplicably recalled the woman's inner monologue at the end of the novel, the moment she detonated a bomb and committed suicide in the underground parking lot.
He wasn't feeling regret, nor was he resentful about clearing his name or the failure of his plan.
Instead, it's a poignant, self-deprecating remark:
"Others have people they want to see after they die, but who will I see after I die? It's so sad. I've never had a single person who truly loved me in my entire life. I wonder if there are any in hell? I really want to be loved."
What this woman pursues is very simple, but extremely difficult to achieve in practice.
A person who doesn't want anything from her but genuinely and consistently likes her from the bottom of their heart.
It is said that people will pursue what they lack, and what she could not obtain eventually became a mental demon that she could not escape.
This is why Jiang Huaimeng pretends to be a kind and gentle older sister on the surface, and not only does she dote on the female protagonist adopted by her family in the book.
She always obeyed the family's arrangements, never argued with her elders, and let others arrange everything for her. Even when the family gradually took away her inheritance rights and property, using her as a stepping stone for the family's progress, she remained unmoved.
She treats others with such gentleness because she hopes that one day others will treat her with the same gentleness.
Unfortunately, after the arranged marriage, Jiang Huaimeng had completely come to terms with reality and went down a dark path from then on.
Jiang Huaimeng planned to make the female lead lose everything in the finale, especially since she was watching herself gradually fall into depravity while her life became more and more fulfilling under his pampering.
Unfortunately, as the villain, she was destined to fail. The female lead and her detective boyfriend ended up destroying the largest criminal organization in Jiangcheng City, and from then on, the two gained fame and fortune and rose to the top.
Jiang Huaimeng's entire life was merely a supporting role to the female lead.
Thinking about these things, and listening to her talking so enthusiastically to herself by the bedside.
Lin Zheng decided to let her be happy for a while longer, even if what he said next wouldn't change the outcome or help her gain skill points.
But it should also allow me to occupy a larger place in her heart, making it easier for me to proceed later.
"Huai Meng...you're so beautiful..." He pretended to murmur her name in his dream.
Jiang Huaimeng, who had been performing a solo act, was genuinely excited upon hearing the results. After a moment of daze, her face revealed undisguised joy as she gently bit her alluring red lips:
"Even in your dreams you're still calling my name? You're really only thinking about how to get me, you selfish fiancé, humph."
Lin Zheng thought to himself, "This woman is so easy to please; she's so happy with just a few words."

The next day, Shen hope went to see Xia Yi early in the morning to personally announce the punishment and arrangements that President Jiang had made for him the day before.
Xia Yi, who hadn't slept much all night, was not disappointed when she heard Shen hope's words in the alley. Instead, she was glad that she had actually survived.
"Sister Shen, do you mean I agree to let Young Master Lin join, and that I will assist him in the future?"
Shen hope nodded: "Don't tell anyone about this. Don't tell your subordinates that this was arranged by President Jiang. Just say it was your own idea, that you decided to follow Lin Zheng."
Xia Yi knew that surviving was more important than anything else, especially since this matter wasn't difficult to handle. After these two encounters, he also quite liked Lin Shao as a person.
"Don't worry, Sister Shen, I'll definitely do as you say. Is there anything else you need me to tell you?"
"From now on, every three days you must report to me everything Lin Zheng has done and everyone he has met. Just send it to my phone and I will pass it on to President Jiang. Remember, you must not let him find out, or you know the consequences."
The tall Xia Yi pecked at Shen hope like a chick pecking at rice: "No problem! You can rest assured."
After giving these instructions, Shen hope left. He had to accompany President Jiang to the beauty salon that afternoon.
However, in the past, after finishing his treatment at the beauty salon, President Jiang would only glance at the results and leave without lingering.
However, during today's treatment, she paid close attention to the details of her face and asked the beautician:
"Do I need my eyebrows trimmed again? And do you have a more natural-looking lipstick color? Let me take a look."
Shen hope didn't say a word, but even though she knew nothing about emotions and had spent her whole life killing people, she could see it clearly.
President Jiang has changed... he's not quite the same as before.
The phone buzzed, and Shen hope answered, "Feeding?"
Upon hearing the news, Shen hope paused, glanced at President Jiang, and then walked out of the room, asking, "What did you say? Lin Zheng went to pick up girls?"
"Yes, Sister Shen, I've been following them here the whole time, right at the gate of a university."
Shen hope clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She knew this man was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. She was finally about to find a crucial weakness.
"You stay there and keep watch, I'm coming right now!"
