Chapter 33 p2: The Cannon Fodder A Who Has a Crush on the Female Lead O (30)
Chi Jingyan knew that her words were very hurtful, but she couldn’t care so much anymore. The words Jiang Mengyu had just said were a hundred times more cruel than hers. Chi Jingyan was both resentful and sad in her heart. She needed a way to vent the suppressed emotions in her heart.
Jiang Mengyu curled her lip. “As expected.”
“Finally willing to speak the truth?”
“Chi Jingyan, do you really have a sincere heart?”
“I don’t have a sincere heart?” Chi Jingyan didn’t understand how Jiang Mengyu had the nerve to turn around and accuse her. Clearly, the cruel one was her!
“My sincerity is for those who are worthy,” Chi Jingyan said coldly. “Not for someone who loves a person based on a floating, false life-saving grace, and who doesn’t even know what love is.”
“Who are the worthy people, Chu Muyao?” Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were cold, but her eye sockets were extremely red. “So you can coax me and play with me on one hand, and meet with Chu Muyao’s parents to discuss the wedding date on the other?”
“Chi Jingyan, when are you planning to kick me out?”
“Or are you just going to keep me in the dark like this until one day I hear about this matter from someone else?”
“What?” Chi Jingyan was stunned for a moment. Did Jiang Mengyu know that she had gone to eat with the Chu family tonight?
Jiang Mengyu turned to look out the window. “I don’t want to be your pastime anymore. No matter what you think, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Chi Jingyan, let’s end it here.”
Reason told Chi Jingyan that there might be a misunderstanding between them. The matter of discussing the wedding date that Jiang Mengyu had just mentioned, who had told her?
But thinking of the hurtful words Jiang Mengyu had said, Chi Jingyan couldn’t explain a single word. She didn’t know if Jiang Mengyu was throwing a tantrum or speaking her true feelings.
Perhaps it was just as Jiang Mengyu had said. She didn’t love her at all. It was all fake. She only loved the so-called savior.
Now that the life-saving grace had also been exposed, Jiang Mengyu had no reason to endure her temper and continue to stay by her side.
So Jiang Mengyu wanted to leave.
Then what was she going to do next?
Go and find the real savior, then thank her, love her, and do all the things they had done these days to another person?
The moment this possibility came to mind, countless dark and negative thoughts instantly welled up in Chi Jingyan’s heart. Jiang Mengyu still wanted to fall in love with someone else?
In her dreams!
Seeing that Chi Jingyan was not speaking, as if she had tacitly agreed to her proposal, Jiang Mengyu forcefully closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes had returned to calm.
“Since you also agree, then there’s nothing more to say between us.”
She turned to walk out. After just a few steps, she suddenly heard Chi Jingyan say coldly from behind her, “You want to leave?”
“Jiang Mengyu, don’t forget that we still have a contract.”
“If you leave me, where can you go?”
“Back to your shabby rental house?”
Jiang Mengyu’s footsteps stopped. “So you had already made a plan when you signed the contract, is that right?”
“Yes.”
Chi Jingyan stared at Jiang Mengyu’s back. She clenched her fists. The Young Miss didn’t know how to coax people. She had never coaxed anyone before. From the very beginning, it had always been Jiang Mengyu who had been retreating. At this moment, in order to make Jiang Mengyu stay, Chi Jingyan was so panicked that she began to say things she didn’t mean.
“You took my money, so you have to do things for me according to the contract.”
“If you dare to step out of this door, I will sue you for fraud tomorrow.”
“I will do what I say.”
Jiang Mengyu was silent for a long time, so long that Chi Jingyan thought she would not speak again. But she suddenly turned around and looked at Chi Jingyan with cold and desolate eyes. “Chi Jingyan, what on earth do you want to do?”
“What is there about me that is worth your lingering on?”
“My pheromones?”
Chi Jingyan averted her face and said nothing.
“You’ve finally decided to give me to Professor Chen?”
Jiang Mengyu paused. “Or is it that you can’t swallow this, and you’re unwilling to be found out before you’ve had enough fun, so you’re planning to keep me by your side and slowly get your revenge?”
“Yes!” Chi Jingyan gritted her teeth.
“Anyway, you’ve already sold yourself to me. You have no right to decide whether you stay or go. Even if you really have to leave, it has to be when I’m tired of playing one day and don’t want you anymore. Only then will you be qualified to leave!”
In short, Jiang Mengyu had no right to say it was over.
Jiang Mengyu was completely disheartened. “I understand.”
She turned and walked out without hesitation. “Sue me if you want.”
Chi Jingyan was at a loss. “Jiang Mengyu!”
The response she got was the heavy sound of a door closing.
BANG—!
The living room fell into silence again. Chi Jingyan was like a lifeless statue, her whole body frozen in place.
She looked at the closed door not far away, a rare hint of confusion on her face.
Had Jiang Mengyu really left?
Would she be like last time, actually still waiting in the entrance for her to call her back?
After a long silence, Chi Jingyan slowly moved her feet and walked toward the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and, after a long while, slowly pressed down.
The entrance was empty. The figure she wanted to see was not there at all.
Jiang Mengyu had really left.
…
Jiang Mengyu was only wearing a thin piece of clothing when she left. It was still windy outside, and the air was a little chilly.
The people she met along the way were all wrapped in coats. Only she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Jiang Mengyu didn’t walk fast. The cold wind blew her hair. She raised her hand and casually tucked her long hair behind her ear. There was no expression on her bewitching and beautiful face.
031 was almost crying its eyes out.
[Host!!!]
031 was getting more and more confused by Jiang Mengyu. [What on earth are you trying to do?!]
Clearly, everything was fine. The female lead A’s emotions were stable, and everything at school was going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happened, she just had to wait for two months to get her certificate. Why did the Host have to forcefully create some accidents?!!
Jiang Mengyu: “Didn’t you also hear what Assistant Zhou said just now?”
Assistant Zhou was the person sent by Mother Chi.
Recently, Chi Jingyan had been watching Jiang Mengyu too closely. Mother Chi had never found a chance to contact her. Tonight, taking advantage of Chi Jingyan’s absence, Mother Chi had immediately sent someone over.
Assistant Zhou was very direct. He didn’t waste any words with Jiang Mengyu, but first showed her two videos.
One was in Old Master Chi’s hospital room. Chi Jingyan had, in front of Old Master Chi and her mother, personally admitted that she was just playing around with Jiang Mengyu.
This video should have been prepared by Old Master Chi’s order, but for some reason, it had ended up in Mother Chi’s hands. However, it was all the same in the end, since it was ultimately for Jiang Mengyu to see.
The other video was of the Chi family and the Chu family sitting in a private room, eating and chatting, and at the very end, the scene of Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao walking in the garden.
Assistant Zhou was concise. “Miss Jiang, the Madam and the Master have protected the Young Miss too well. There are many interesting and new things she has never seen. It’s inevitable that she would be momentarily intoxicated after coming into contact with them.”
“But the Young Miss is the Madam and the Master’s only daughter, and the future sole heir of the Chi family. She has her responsibilities and obligations that she must fulfill.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
He didn’t mention Jiang Mengyu’s family background at all, but he was able to make Jiang Mengyu clearly hear that she was not worthy of Chi Jingyan.
In the video, Chi Jingyan was seriously looking at Chu Muyao opposite her, a faint smile in her usually cold eyes.
This was the heaven-ordained CP that 031 had mentioned. No matter what the process was, they would end up together in the end.
Is that so?
Jiang Mengyu looked up at Assistant Zhou. “What does Mrs. Chi mean?”
“The Madam hopes that you can take the initiative to leave the Young Miss.”
“Miss Jiang, if you really like the Young Miss, you should understand that being ambiguous with an Alpha is not a good thing for the Young Miss.”
“Even if the Young Miss doesn’t get engaged to Miss Chu, there will always be other, more suitable Omegas.”
He emphasized the words “more suitable” very heavily.
Jiang Mengyu: “…I understand what Mrs. Chi means.”
The conversation ended there.
031 was speechless.
In that case, it seemed that the Host indeed had to compromise. In order not to offend Mother Chi and cause a conflict between Chi Jingyan and her mother, she could only pretend to be cruel and leave Chi Jingyan.
But was that really the case?
031 always felt that the Host was not the kind of person who would compromise like this.
Of course Jiang Mengyu was not.
The reason she had chosen to lay her cards on the table at this juncture was because Old Master Chi was clearly no longer useful. Previously, because of Old Master Chi’s serious illness, Father Chi and Mother Chi had temporarily ignored Jiang Mengyu’s existence, but that didn’t mean they didn’t care.
Jiang Mengyu was almost certain that the moment Father Chi and Mother Chi were free, the first person they would deal with would be her.
Tonight’s Assistant Zhou was just a test from Mother Chi.
Jiang Mengyu was not afraid of Mother Chi’s revenge. After all, this was also within her expectations. She just didn’t believe in Chi Jingyan’s feelings for her.
Chi Jingyan might not care about Old Master Chi’s words, but what about her parents?
Jiang Mengyu didn’t think that Chi Jingyan would choose her between her parents and her, so she had to increase her own bargaining chips.
An undying love needed to go through twists and turns. If it was still as calm as before, Chi Jingyan might get tired of her soon.
Only when something that was originally within reach suddenly slipped out of control would people feel a sense of loss, and thus develop an obsession.
…
Chi Jingyan sat in the living room until it was almost dawn.
She couldn’t feel the passage of time. In her mind, Jiang Mengyu’s resolute eyes and cold words repeatedly appeared. This was the first time Chi Jingyan had liked someone, and it had ended in such a bleak way.
She didn’t know how many times she had cursed Jiang Mengyu in her heart.
But in the end, she still called Zhou Heng, her voice hoarse as she instructed, “Follow her.”
“I want to know what she’s doing, who she’s seeing.”
Zhou Heng’s worried words came through the phone receiver, but they were ignored by the exhausted Chi Jingyan.
She had been at the hospital for several hours, staying up until the middle of the night without sleeping. She had finally been able to come back and rest for a while, but she had been caught off guard by Jiang Mengyu.
At this moment, Chi Jingyan was already at the end of her rope. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. Her fingertips inadvertently brushed against the corner of her eye, and her thumb was immediately stained with a wet patch.
Only then did Chi Jingyan realize that she had actually cried.
She touched her eyelids with trembling fingertips. The touch was swollen and hot, and her eyes were extremely sore.
Chi Jingyan stared at the teardrop on her fingertip in a daze.
Had she been crying for a long time?
How did she not feel it?
Thinking of Jiang Mengyu’s decisiveness when she left, Chi Jingyan couldn’t help but forcefully wipe away the moisture on her thumb.
Jiang Mengyu didn’t care anymore. Even if she cried her eyes out, what was the use?
That liar Jiang Mengyu!!
Chi Jingyan fiercely threw all the cushions on the sofa.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the necklace on the coffee table. Chi Jingyan’s chaotic mind suddenly had a moment of clarity. She remembered something.
Before she had come back last night, Jiang Mengyu had still been wearing the necklace. She just needed to find the listening recording and listen to it carefully to know what had happened last night.
At this thought, Chi Jingyan immediately forced herself to cheer up and went into the study with the necklace.
She had actually already guessed it.
There were not many people who could do this.
But when Chi Jingyan heard the person in the recording say that it was Mrs. Chi who had sent him, Chi Jingyan still couldn’t help but hold her breath.
So, this was the reason why Jiang Mengyu had decided to leave her?
Then the things she had said to Jiang Mengyu in her anger and sadness…
