A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 43
Li Yingxue had just left home not far when she received a letter.
She hesitated for a moment, but still opened it.
When her gaze fell upon the contents of the letter, her expression gradually grew serious.
It said above that she knows where her grandma is. If she want to find out her grandma’s whereabouts, just follow the route she gave and go there alone.
At the very bottom, there are a few more photos of Grandma in the envelope.
Li Yingxue sat in the car and put away the envelope, just about to lose her temper, when a fleeting thought crossed her mind about whether or not to report to Fu Man.
Thinking about her training, she decided to give up.
According to the address, she drove to a seaside villa.
Before getting out of the car, Li Yingxue took out a small gun from inside. Ever since her rebirth, her first priority was to get a weapon to protect herself.
Although her body couldn’t resist the pheromone suppression, she could still shoot them before they made a move.
Li Yingxue was wearing a champagne-colored suit dress today, with the hem just reaching her ankles. It wasn’t difficult to hide a gun inside the dress.
She get out of the car and enter, arriving at a lavishly and extravagantly decorated living room.
Li Yingxue raised her eyes to survey the place until a woman appeared at the railing on the second floor.
A tall woman in a black dress had a black earring in her ear. Li Yingxue looked closely and discovered that the black earring was actually a small snake coiled up.
“Are you Li Yingxue?”
Li Yingxue confirmed that she didn’t know this person before or after her rebirth, “Why did you call me here?”
Xu Anji leaned on the railing with both hands. Upon hearing this, she lightly covered her lips with the back of her hand and chuckled, “Of course, I’ll return your Grandma to you.”
“How can I trust that you’ve found the person?”
Xu Anji was not surprised by her suspicion. She clapped her hands, and a man pushed a wheelchair out of the room.
Li Yingxue frowned deeply. When the person came in front of her, she finally felt a bit moved, half-squatting down and reaching out to touch the old person’s aged, wrinkled hand.
“Grandma…”
“Yingxue, you’ve lost weight.” Perhaps due to her age, Grandma wasn’t overly surprised by the changes in the environment; she still had that kind and gentle demeanor.
Li Yingxue couldn’t help but ask, “Have they treated you poorly?”
Grandma gently shook her head, tenderly stroking her hair: “No one is making things difficult for me; it’s you who are making things difficult.”
“I have nothing to make it difficult for anyone.” Li Yingxue lowered her gaze, not looking at her.
The man pushed Grandma back into the room.
Li Yingxue stood up and looked at the woman who was already sitting on the sofa: “How did you get my Grandma out of my house?”
Xu Anji: “Guess?”
Li Yingxue didn’t like to guess. Since she had brought her Grandma out, she had no more concerns about her parents.
She bluntly asked, “What do you want?”
The woman suddenly looked over with an inscrutable expression, sizing her up from head to toe: “I want— you.”
Li Yingxue’s expression instantly turned cold: “You’re dreaming.”
Xu Anji stood up, walked in front of her, circled around her while leaning in to sniff, and clicked her tongue twice.
Sure enough, it has the scent of that snake.
Xu Anji stood behind her, leaning close to her ear: “Be my fiancee, and I’ll return your Grandma to you.”
Li Yingxue sensed her presence, furrowed her brow, took a step forward, and suddenly turned around, wanting to keep her distance.
Little did she know, just as she turned around, her waist tightened suddenly, and a black snake tail wrapped around her waist without warning.
Li Yingxue was taken aback, her face turning pale. She wasn’t even human!
What is her relationship with Fu Man?
“Why are you so shocked?” Xu Anji found it amusing that she was trying to stay calm despite her obviously nervous and surprised expression. “Haven’t you ever seen a python before?”
The black snake tail loosened, then swept past Li Yingxue’s ankle, lifting her skirt. Li Yingxue, feeling disgusted, stepped back and drew her gun, aiming it at the woman in front of her.
“Try touching me again?”
Xu Anji returned to her human form, and did not force herself. She merely cast a fleeting glance at the snake ring on Li Yingxue’s hand, harboring a faint suspicion in her heart.
That snake actually gave such an important item, the snake ring, to a human. It seems that Li Yingxue is truly special to it.
At least it’s different from the colorful snake pets she used to have around her.
“Let’s talk things over calmly.” Xu Anji’s expression became serious.
“I have nothing to say to you.”
Li Yingxue said and was about to leave.
Xu Anji called out to her, “Don’t you want your grandma anymore?”
Li Yingxue successfully stopped her footsteps.
Xu Anji smiled with satisfaction, crossing her arms: “Shall we be friends?”
“I refuse.” Li Yingxue’s eyes were icy.
Xu Anji: “Well, I can’t just return Grandma to you for nothing, can I?”
Li Yingxue pressed her lips together and said, “I can give you money.”
Xu Anji recalled Min Tian’s reminder about not being overly eager for quick results, so she settled for a compromise: “How about spending a few days with me? Just like friends, showing me around M City would be enough.”
That’s enough to make that stinking snake furious.
“How can I trust what you’re saying?” Li Yingxue looked at her with suspicion.
“You take your Grandma back first. As for the agreement, it depends on whether you have integrity.”
“Let me take it away?” Li Yingxue couldn’t quite believe it.
Xu Anji gave a signal, and the man immediately turned around, went into the room, and pushed Grandma out.
Li Yingxue was still puzzled, but when she brought her grandma back to the villa in the forest, that woman didn’t show any intention of stopping her.
Li Yingxue settled her grandma in the villa, activated the security system, prepared everything for her, and arranged for the assigned servants.
By the way, she sent a message to A Ci saying not to look for it.
Li Yingxue opened the chat box with Fu Man. They rarely talked, but she sent her a message: Grandma has been found, you don’t need to look anymore, thank you.
After all this fuss, it’s almost dark.
Li Yingxue made a simple meal and ate with her grandma.
“Grandma, do you like it here?”
Li Yingxue held the bowl, her expression calm and composed.
Grandma smiled and said, “It’s pretty good, I’m fine with it.”
Li Yingxue: “Once I’m done with my work, I’ll come over and live with you.”
Grandma nodded, “Okay.”
After finishing the meal and waiting for Grandma to fall asleep, Li Yingxue finally drove back from the forest.
The white Bentley drove along the winding asphalt road, entered the city, and then headed towards the Fu family’s villa in the mountains.
Fu family.
Fu Man finished a day of training and was studying safe driving tips in the study.
A Ci said worriedly, “The text is in a couple of days, and you still have so much left to review, Your Highness. What are you going to do?”
Fu Man was propping her leg up, holding a book nonchalantly, and leisurely turning a page.
“What’s the rush? No need to hurry.”
A Ci: “What if Your Highness doesn’t pass the test?”
Fu Man put down her hand and glared at her: “Are you cursing me?”
A Ci: “It’s not that… it’s just your situation…”
A Ci stirred it with her hand and sighed.
“If it really doesn’t work, just cheat.”
She practices hard and absorbs spiritual energy every day so as not to fail her driving test.
“Eh…???”
A Ci, still in shock, didn’t know what to say and had to change the subject: “Miss Li said today that she found her grandma. She should be very happy, right? Finally free from the constraints of her original family.”
Fu Man ignored her and continued reading.
A Ci became puzzled again: “What will Miss Li do after Your Highness breaks through to the God Transformation stage and returns to the Holy Spirit Continent? Will she stay here alone?”
Fu Man’s fingers paused slightly: “Doesn’t she still have her Grandma?”
A Ci: “That’s true. By then, Miss Li should probably move out, find someone she likes to marry, have a beautiful child like herself, and live a happy life.”
A Ci did not receive a response and couldn’t help but look up, “Your Highness?”
Fu Man put down the book, stood up, and walked out: “I’m going back to sleep.”
After finishing her words, without giving A Ci a chance to respond, she walked straight out of the study and headed towards the bedroom.
As soon as she pushed the door open, Fu Man saw Li Yingxue just finishing tidying up her clothes and getting ready to wash up.
“You’re back?” she asked.
Li Yingxue hummed.
Fu Man walked over, just about to ask about her grandma, when suddenly her brow furrowed.
She smells like that stinky snake!
Fu Man observed the person in front of her without showing any emotion. Noticing that she seemed fine, she felt a bit more at ease.
“Did you meet anyone special today?”
Li Yingxue’s movements of packing clothes paused for a moment, then she turned her head to look at the woman leaning against the wardrobe, her expression unchanged.
“No.”
She can handle this matter well.
“Really not?” Fu Man asked again, not believing it.
Li Yingxue’s voice was consistently cold: “What do you want to ask me?”
Listening to this cold tone, even though Li Yingxue usually speaks like this, Fu Man couldn’t help but feel a bit unhappy.
It seems like they are very unfamiliar with each other.
“Nothing.” Fu Man glanced at the bed, her nose catching the scent of Xu Anji’s snake-like presence again. Normally, she wouldn’t think much of it, but today, smelling it on Li Yingxue…
Fu Man’s eyes turned cold, and she felt a surge of frustration welling up in her chest.
“I’m going to wash up first.” Li Yingxue walked past her holding her clothes.
That scent has become even stronger.
Fu Man tightened her jaw, her expression cold. When Li Yingxue entered the bathroom, she turned and walked out.
Until Li Yingxue finished washing up and was ready to sleep, she still hadn’t come back.
Li Yingxue lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, turned to look at the door, remained silent for a while, and finally fell asleep alone.
For several consecutive days, Fu Man hasn’t come back to sleep.
Li Yingxue has been visiting her grandma every day for the past few days. Seeing that she is safe and sound, she finally drove off to find the woman with the black snake tail.
“I thought you weren’t coming,” Xu Anji teased.
Li Yingxue: “I’m just confirming whether you actually keep your promises.”
Xu Anji responded with an “oh” and asked, “So, have you confirmed it now?”
Li Yingxue coldly glanced at her: “No.”
Even if she let her grandma go, she still can’t be sure if this woman will keep her word.
Xu Anji leaned against the car door, looking at her through the window: “So what are you going to do?”
Li Yingxue locked the car door: “I can only trust you temporarily, get in.”
Xu Anji casually opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat: “So, are you going to start being my friend now, Miss Li?”
“Only three days.”
Xu Anji looked at the road conditions ahead: “Alright.”
Li Yingxue took her out, “Where do you want to go?”
Xu Anji: “Shouldn’t this be something you consider?”
Li Yingxue held the steering wheel, so she had no choice but to take her to some artificial attractions.
The car stopped at an aquarium, and at the entrance, they encountered someone selling cameras. Xu Anji signaled with her eyes for her to buy one. Li Yingxue thought about how she had helped her find her grandma, so she had no choice but to take out money and buy one.
“Take a picture of me.” Xu Anji walked ahead, and Li Yingxue had no intention of taking photos at all, so she could only take a few pictures with a blank expression.
After visiting the aquarium, Li Yingxue took her to the next artificial attraction.
She didn’t notice at all that while driving and giving someone a ride, she sped past Fu Man, who had just come out of her driving test.
