Zane's lips curved up in amusement. This silly woman was so interesting. Touch her food, and she'd be like an angry cat whose tail was stepped on.
It was such a wonder how she'd managed to stay quiet after what he'd done to her meal.
Definitely, Lily must be hatching a plan in her heart. After all, Lily would do anything to break free from Zane to get together with another man.
Zane's mood improved, and he focused fully on his work, and that's when he realized there were errors in the document his secretary had sent him.
If Lily hadn't distracted Zane and refreshed his mind, he would have signed the document and sent it back to his secretary. This woman was his lucky demon!
Zane's eyes turned cold, and he typed a message to his assistant. Since those companies dared to play such tricks, they could forget about having peaceful growth in the industry again.
Zane was finally able to focus on the woman, and he saw that her lips were pursed and her cheeks bulged in unhappiness.
Despite her calmness, it still couldn't hide the fact that she was very angry at him.
Zane chuckled in amusement and returned his focus to work. This woman was very interesting.
Seeing Lily's revengeful and dark eyes, Zane couldn't help wondering what she'd bring up next.
Since Lily was very restrained in the Shen mansion, she wouldn't do a thing here. Zane couldn't wait to see what she'd be up to when they returned home.
When she was done, Lily elegantly picked up the meal plates and walked out of the room.
Even though Lily had already planned to act like a spoiled socialite, what she didn't realize and had forgotten was that a socialite would always call the maid to pack the meal away and would never do it herself.
"Mom. Big brother." Lily skipped into the living room after she returned the plates to the kitchen.
"You've woken up!" Mrs. Shen paused her knitting and joyfully looked at Lily. Lily had really changed since she married Zane.
In the past, Lily would stay in bed until late morning or early afternoon, and when she came down, she'd be in a bad mood and throw tantrums for a while.
Now it was as if Lily were a different person. The Shen family loved her like this!
Zane Ji was really different. What they couldn't do all these years, he'd done! Married life really suited them both.
Mrs. Shen patted the space next to her, her face softening. "Zane offered to bring you breakfast in bed. You child, you're very lucky to find such a man." She praised.
In the beginning, Mrs. Shen had been unsatisfied when she saw how thin Lily was. Now her thoughts of Zane had completely changed.
Mrs. Shen couldn't help thinking that it was her daughter's luck to find such a good man when scoundrels and spoiled men had filled the earth.
Immediately, Lily recalled how a shameless scumbag had taken advantage of her meal and lied to her. Lily's eyes turned dark, and she scowled inwardly.
Lily sat next to Mrs. Shen, sitting between Quist and Mrs. Shen. She blandly said, "It's so-so. My big brother takes care of me better." Lily threw her arms around Quist and laid her head on his shoulder.
Lily had really missed seeing her brother's and mother's faces.
Lily recalled that years ago, she'd suddenly woken up to find herself in an orphanage.
Lily had called out for her mother and brother only for the matron to inform her that she'd been an orphan all her life!
Now that Lily saw the two again, Lily still didn't know what and why it had happened, but now she began to think that this was her family.
And it was likely that she'd transmigrated when she was nine years old. This was why everything had suddenly become different.
The more Lily thought about this, the more her heart ached.
Not knowing what Lily was thinking about, Mrs. Shen raised her index finger and poked Lily's cheek. "It's a different thing. Your brother is your brother. But Zane is your husband. You're meant to share his burden and help him..."
"Hmph!" As if! That stinky man was the one burdening her! "Mom, let me tell you—in this lifetime, I don't need a husband because I have Mom, Dad, and big brother to take care of me. I'm loved at home." She said cockily.
Quist chuckled, and Mrs. Shen shook her head. This child could really be stubborn and persistent whenever she wanted to be.
Lily looked around the house and turned to Mrs. Shen. "Dad must have gone on a business trip, right?"
Mrs. Shen nodded and sighed. "Zane really changed you. Now you're asking about your dad."
Lily stuck out her lips playfully and extended her hand toward Quist meaningfully.
Even though Lily didn't speak, Quist already understood what she meant, and he handed the sweets to her.
Mrs. Shen shook her head. "In the past, after the accident, you wouldn't even take a look at sweets, but now that you're married, you're looking for them."
Accident? Lily's eyes narrowed and her back straightened. That was exactly it! The sweets and the difference...
It turned out that the previous host and the cannon fodder in the novel had entered Lily's body after Lily had an accident when she was nine. The cannon fodder had lived a different life.
It turned out that Lily's body got taken—it wasn't Lily taking someone's body.
Lily lowered her head, and her eyes flashed with determination. She'd investigate what had happened and find out what she didn't know.
Lily wrapped her arms around her mom's hand and placed her head on Mrs. Shen's shoulder. "Mom, don't worry. I won't cause trouble from now on." The cannon fodder had been the one to cause trouble in the past.
But from now on, all Lily wanted was to make her family happy and never give them a reason to worry.
Lily's eyes suddenly fell on the business paper that Quist was working on, and she frowned. "Brother, that document is filled with errors. If they claim the percentage is 5%, how did they end up with that amount?"
Upon hearing this, Quist's brows arched and his eyes fell on the part of the document.
It had only been a few minutes since Lily arrived, and she'd been focused on talking—how could she calculate and pick up errors so quickly?
Quist picked up his calculator and quickly calculated, and he realized that Lily was telling the truth.
Upon seeing this, Quist's expression changed.
Luckily, Lily had alerted him to this error, or else he would have signed the document. Just thinking about the huge loss it would have caused the company made his eyes turn cold. "Lily, thank you."
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up with joy, and she hugged Lily. "Marrying Zane Ji made you a business genius?"
Lily's expression changed, and she snorted. Her mother really praised that stinky man too much. How could he own the credit for her capability? "How can that be? It's all my—" Lily paused when she realized what she was about to say.
After the incident, Lily woke up and was raised in an orphanage.
The people at the orphanage had told Lily she'd been in the orphanage all her life, but still, Lily felt that something was wrong.
And so Lily had promised that she was going to get rich enough to find her mother and brother.
As a startup CEO, of course Lily had seen and dealt with a lot of documents from people who wanted to harm rather than sincerely partner with her.
For that reason, Lily had learned to spot errors and calculate them in her head. "It's just that I've been interested in it before, so I learned a bit."
"Good. Good. Your father will be proud of you. How about you start working in the company alongside your brother from now on?" Mrs. Shen was filled with joy and suggested. Quist nodded his head, approving her words.
Mrs. Shen thought that they'd wronged their daughter by marrying her off.
But now she realized that they were the lucky ones.
Since the marriage, Lily seemed to have turned into a different person overnight. They were really lucky.
