Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Lin Ming learned from Wen Yingting that Shen Wan seemed reluctant to divorce, which made him anxious. When Xia Xinzhi heard about Shen Wan’s change of heart, she appeared unfazed but was actually more worried than Lin Ming.

She wasn’t really pregnant, and her supposed “pregnancy” was nearing four months. Given her intimate relationship with Lin Ming, wrapping something around her belly wouldn’t work. So when Lin Ming wasn’t paying attention, she’d eat more processed foods and sit down immediately after meals, managing to put on weight around her waist and stomach.

Previously, Lin Ming had even touched her thickened waist and slightly enlarged belly, saying, “The baby is growing well.” More terrifyingly, he’d press his ear against her belly to listen. If he found out she was faking the pregnancy, their relationship would be over.

She had schemed to make Lin Ming divorce, solely to be with him openly. He didn’t like Shen Wan, so maintaining that marriage was pointless.

Seeing Xia Xinzhi with her head down and silent, Lin Ming put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, “Xinzhi, don’t worry. I’ll go talk to Shen Wan myself. I’ll definitely divorce her. For you, and for our child.”

“If I had known, I should have aborted the baby. Then I wouldn’t be troubling you like this,” Xia Xinzhi said with a furrowed brow, her tone pitiful. “Now that I’m further along, and I’ve grown so fond of this child, I can’t bear to give it up. A-Ming, if Shen Wan really won’t divorce, then let’s forget it. I’ll give you a week. If she won’t divorce, I’ll abort the baby. I don’t want the child to be born without a father and labeled as illegitimate.”

“Don’t say such foolish things. You’re not allowed to abort the baby.”

Hearing Xia Xinzhi’s words, Lin Ming became anxious. Wen Yingting was also very worried and quickly tried to persuade her. Xia Xinzhi seemed determined, insisting that if the matter wasn’t resolved within a week, she would definitely abort the child.

Lin Ming had no choice but to repeatedly promise that he would divorce Shen Wan within a week.

When Lin Ming came to the Wen family home, Wen Yingling was supporting Shen Wan as they strolled in the garden. Seeing this scene, Wen Yingting was stunned. His sister had never been so accommodating to anyone. Even with Grandfather Shen’s instructions, she didn’t need to go to such lengths.

She had never shown such care even for him, her only relative.

“Yingling, I want to talk to Shen Wan alone,” Lin Ming said, getting straight to the point.

Shen Wan clutched Wen Yingling’s shirt hem, gripping it tightly, as if saying, “Don’t go, I’m afraid to talk to him alone.” Wen Yingling’s gaze fell on her shirt hem for a moment, but unlike before, she didn’t ask her to let go. Instead, she said to Lin Ming, “Are you here to discuss the divorce?”

“If so, there’s no need to talk privately.”

“If not, then there’s even less reason to talk privately.”

Wen Yingling’s firm attitude left Lin Ming with no choice. “I’m here to discuss the divorce with Shen Wan,” he said, turning his gaze to Shen Wan. “You’ve recovered well enough now. You agreed to divorce after three months. Three months have passed. Are you going back on your word?”

“Who said I’m going back on my word?” Shen Wan asked. “I can’t wait to be rid of a scumbag like you. When I said we’d divorce after three months, I didn’t think you’d wait exactly three months to show up.”

“I said before, there’s no affection between us, so what does it matter when I show up?” Lin Ming said matter-of-factly. Although Shen Wan’s cold attitude was vastly different from her previously love-filled gaze, making him feel somewhat lost, the divorce still had to happen. Xinzhi couldn’t wait any longer.

“We can divorce anytime, as long as you can handle your family. After all, our marriage involves two families, don’t you think?”

Lin Ming frowned, thinking it over. Xinzhi was already pregnant, and his mother had been wanting a grandchild for years. If his mother agreed, even if his father objected, he’d have to agree. “There won’t be any problems on my side. On your side…”

“My grandfather hates you so much, he can’t wait for me to divorce. He’d probably throw a celebratory banquet if I divorced you. Don’t think you’re some golden boy that my grandfather would cherish. To him, I’m the pretty little cabbage, and you’re the pig that’s been rooting through the manure pit. Now that the pig trying to eat his little cabbage is finally going to be slaughtered, how could he not be happy?” Every time she insulted Lin Ming, Shen Wan felt extremely satisfied.

The restrictions on task agents weren’t many, just not allowing them to confess love to anyone other than the male lead. There weren’t many limitations. Cursing this scumbag was perfectly fine, as long as it felt good. She believed that the more miserable this scumbag was, the happier the readers would be, which would lead to higher ratings for her.

Being cursed by Shen Wan for the second time, this time being called a manure-rooting pig, Lin Ming didn’t want to quibble. As long as she agreed to divorce, that was enough.

He took out a divorce agreement. “Look it over. If there are no problems, just sign it. I’ll handle the rest.”

Shen Wan quickly scanned the divorce agreement several times, then angrily tore it to shreds.

“You…”

Shen Wan cursed, “Lin Ming, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

“If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can renegotiate the divorce agreement.”

Shen Wan turned to look at Wen Yingling, tugging her shirt hem. “Yingling, can you get the divorce agreement I prepared earlier from the drawer?” After saying this, she whispered to Wen Yingling, “And a manila envelope, bring that too.”

“Mm.” Wen Yingling helped Shen Wan to a nearby chair, instructing, “If he makes any sudden moves,” she pointed to the small teddy bear hanging around Shen Wan’s neck, “remember to press the button on it.”

Wen Yingting: “…” He didn’t know his sister could be so good to someone, making alarm after alarm, even recording her own voice.

Hearing that Shen Wan had her own preparations, Lin Ming waited patiently.

Soon, Wen Yingling returned. She handed a divorce agreement to Lin Ming, then sat down next to Shen Wan, holding the manila envelope.

For a moment, the garden was completely silent.

If one ignored the fact that Shen Wan was using her phone to photograph a beautiful flower on the back of her chair, this should have been a very serious scene.

Wen Yingting seemed like a transparent person, standing to the side, watching everything eagerly. He felt something was off. His cold and fierce sister was actually being so nice to someone. He could sense that Wen Yingling had been in a good mood recently. She hadn’t been this happy since their parents passed away. Thinking of this, Wen Yingting’s usually gentle and smiling eyes showed deep remorse.

Before long, they all noticed Lin Ming’s increasingly gloomy expression. Of course, only Wen Yingting was curious about what was written on the agreement.

After reading to the end, Lin Ming didn’t angrily tear up the divorce agreement like Shen Wan had. The asset list accurately detailed all his personal property. This angered him but also sent a chill down his spine. How did Shen Wan know so much?

Finally, he turned his gaze to Wen Yingling. Had she helped?

188: You’re overthinking it. Even if Wen Yingling is capable, could she investigate your hidden assets abroad? It was your father who found out!

“You want 60% of my assets?” Lin Ming asked incredulously. How could such a large family like the Shens raise such a money-grubbing person?

No, she wasn’t like this before. She only changed after losing her memory.

“Impossible. At most 30%.”

Shen Wan fiddled with her phone, not looking up as she said, “You’re the one who wants a divorce. I don’t care either way. 30%? Are you trying to fool a beggar? If you want a divorce, show some sincerity.”

Seeing Shen Wan’s indifferent attitude, Lin Ming was furious. He had foolishly thought that even with her memory loss, she still cared for him. Turns out, this was her true nature.

“Shen Wan, you’re not short of money.”

Shen Wan looked up. “Lin Ming, I’m only taking your personal assets, which is legally fair. Your Lin family is so big, it’ll all be yours in the future. You’re not short of money either, are you? Be thankful you don’t control all of Lin Corporation yet. If you did, I wouldn’t just be taking your personal assets, but Lin Corporation shares too. Oh, right, I asked Grandpa. When we married, your father gave me 5% of Lin Corporation shares. I won’t be giving those back to you.”

“You…”

“If you have any objections, then let’s not divorce,” Shen Wan said triumphantly. “I’d like to wait until you control Lin Corporation, then take an even bigger share.”

“You’re going too far.”

“How am I going too far?” Shen Wan looked innocent. “I’m being abandoned by you. I watched our wedding video recently. In it, I was marrying you with all my heart, while you had a gloomy face the whole time, like your wife had died.”

“Grandpa was right, I must have really liked you before, right? But you didn’t like me. So all my passion was ultimately thrown away like trash by you. Am I going too far? If you were unwilling then, you could have just refused and not married me. I wasted years of my youth, and now I’ll bear the reputation of a divorced woman, making it harder to find someone in the future.”

Shen Wan sighed again. “Have you heard a saying?” Without waiting for Lin Ming to answer, she continued, “A woman without love only has eyes for money. Now I’m that woman without love who only wants money. Your heart or your money, I should at least get one, right? If you give me nothing, that’s truly going too far. Being stingy, selfish, and petty—as a man, you should be generous in divorce. If you want to escape this unwanted marriage, you have to pay the price.”

“60% is far too much.”

Shen Wan shrugged. “Then let’s not divorce. I was actually planning to wait and split Lin Corporation shares later.”

“40%,” Lin Ming quickly said. “At most 40%, no more. I have no feelings for you, you should understand that. Dragging this out won’t benefit you.”

Shen Wan looked up, smiling. “Won’t benefit me? I think it won’t benefit you, right?” She took the manila envelope from Wen Yingling, pulled out a stack of photos, and threw them in Lin Ming’s face, stinging him.

He was about to get angry but grabbed one photo and saw it was an intimate picture of him and Xia Xinzhi in a car. Though not explicit, it clearly showed their ambiguous relationship. He stared at the photos on the ground, all of him and Xia Xinzhi.

“You hired a private investigator?”

“I just wanted to investigate whether we really had no feelings. I didn’t expect to discover this,” Shen Wan said innocently. “Lin Ming, you can’t blame me. I really didn’t mean to! It’s your fault for not being clean. If you were pure, would there be these photos?”

“Fine, I agree. 60%.” Lin Ming understood he had no advantage. For Xinzhi and the child, he couldn’t care about anything else. He just wanted to divorce this hateful woman as soon as possible.

Shen Wan waved her hand. “Stop right there! It was 60% before, now it’s 90%. I gave you a chance earlier because I didn’t want to burn bridges. You didn’t take it, forcing me to do this. 90%, not a penny less, or no divorce. I’d love to wait and split the Lin family assets, occupying the position of Lin family’s young mistress. Your beloved can only ever be a mistress who can’t see the light of day. Any child she has in the future will have an ugly title—illegitimate child.”

Lin Ming’s eyes flashed with ferocity. At that moment, he truly regretted that the car accident hadn’t killed her.

If she had died, there wouldn’t be so many subsequent troubles.

Shen Wan trembled in fear, quickly hugging Wen Yingling’s slender waist. “Yingling, this guy is really scary. His eyes look like he wants me dead. After I get the money, I’ll definitely hire ten or eight bodyguards to protect me 24/7, in case he tries to kill me. I suspect he really wants me dead.”

“Don’t be afraid!”

Wen Yingling held Shen Wan’s hand. At that moment, she also sensed Lin Ming’s vicious gaze, making her more concerned about the issue with Shen Wan’s car losing control.

Hearing Shen Wan’s words, Lin Ming quickly hid his ferocity. “You’re asking for too much.”

“Well, would you like to listen to a recording before deciding?” Shen Wan opened her phone and played a recording of the earlier conversation between Wen Yingting, Lin Ming, and Xia Xinzhi, particularly the part where Xia Xinzhi gave him a week or she’d abort the child.

Lin Ming and Wen Yingting’s faces changed dramatically.

Lin Ming turned to look at Wen Yingting, who quickly waved his hands, looking very innocent. “I don’t know what happened. I swear, when I came, I changed clothes, my phone wasn’t touched, and I didn’t have any strange devices on me. Lin Ming, don’t you remember Wan Wan hired a private investigator? Maybe the investigator gave her the recording.”

188: Wrong, it was your father who monitored your phone.

Wen Yingting thought that hiring a private investigator was something only his sister would do. Since his sister did it, what could he do? Of course, forgive her and keep it a secret. A good friend was a good friend, but a sister was still family. It wasn’t the same.

“I really underestimated you, Shen Wan.” Lin Ming’s face bore a smile, but it was extremely sinister. He glanced at Wen Yingling. “Wen Yingling, don’t you usually despise this woman and dislike meddling in affairs? Why choose to help her this time?”

Wen Yingling didn’t answer Lin Ming’s question. Instead, she took out another divorce agreement from the manila envelope and handed it to him. “Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it.”

Lin Ming pressed his thin lips together tightly, not taking it.

He suddenly turned his gaze to Wen Yingting’s face. Wen Yingting looked miserable. “Sorry, Lin Ming. The Wen family is under her management. I’m just manual labor, I can’t control her. Lin Ming, you and Xinzhi have such a good relationship. For her sake and your child’s future, I suggest you sign it. If you don’t, I think Shen Wan will really take more of your Lin family shares.”

As he spoke, Wen Yingting felt something was off. His words sounded a bit like fence-sitting. But he felt it made sense. If he were Lin Ming, he would have agreed to sign quickly. Losing some assets to be with the one you love—isn’t that a good deal?

“Lin Ming, think carefully,” Shen Wan urged. “Your child is waiting for his father to marry his mother. If you don’t sign today, don’t come again. I don’t have anyone I like now, so I don’t mind dragging this out as long as I have money. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sign. It’s just one child, right? Xia Xinzhi can lose one. You’re both young, you’ll have many more in the future…”

“Shut up!”

Lin Ming was furious, unable to tolerate this woman any longer. If he could, he truly wanted to take a knife and kill her.

Why didn’t she die in that car accident? Why did Wen Yingling and Wen Yingting have to pass by that place and save her?

“I… I’ll… sign!”

“You should be able to transfer the assets under your name to me within a week, right?”

“I can.” Lin Ming’s gaze was cold. “You’re not to breathe a word about this. Don’t let news of Xinzhi’s pregnancy get out, and don’t tell my parents. Otherwise, we’ll just keep dragging this out.”

If it got out, it would be nothing but harmful to him. Not only would Grandfather Shen not let it go, but the Lin family would also be very displeased with him, especially his father.

“I know. As long as you deliver the money, we can divorce quietly. I can’t wait to be rid of you, you pig. I’m such a pretty little cabbage, I don’t want to be rooted up by a pig. Pigs should only eat pig feed. Little cabbages aren’t cheap.”

Lin Ming looked at her smug expression, feeling so angry he wanted to pin her to the ground and beat her to death. Never in his life had he been so thoroughly taken advantage of by anyone.

In the end, Lin Ming left in a huff.

Wen Yingting stood there looking bewildered. Shen Wan smiled at him and said, “You approached me for Xia Xinzhi’s sake, didn’t you? Why would you hurt me and deceive my feelings for someone you like? Wen Yingting, you’re a pig too. Do you think just any pig can root up a pretty little cabbage like me? I’ll never let a pig root me up in this lifetime.”
