The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 51p2

Chapter 51p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (4)

The car accident had changed Gu Lanqiu’s personality, or rather, it had made Gu Lanqiu completely stop pretending and completely expose the vicious side of her bones.

So Jiang Mengyu was sure that Gu Lanqiu was the same kind of person as her. Her confession would not only not make Gu Lanqiu look down on her, but would even make her find her very interesting.

Sure enough, the next second, 031’s voice sounded in Jiang Mengyu’s mind.

[Ding! Mission target Gu Lanqiu’s favorability +5. Current total favorability: 152.]

031 cried with joy in the little black room. It was gratifying that the mission was finally making progress!

Gu Lanqiu did indeed find it a little interesting. Had Jiang Mengyu finally stopped acting?

“You’ve told me all these things. Aren’t you worried that I’ll tell Zeyan?”

“You won’t,” Jiang Mengyu did not hesitate for a second.

But after she finished speaking, she paused and asked in a low voice, “Will you? Lanqiu?”

[Could it be that Lanqiu still chooses to stand on Xu Zeyan’s side?]

The corners of Gu Lanqiu’s lips were faintly smiling, but the depths of her eyes were calm and unwavering. “Didn’t you already say so?”

Jiang Mengyu was relieved.

[Lanqiu really chose me.]

Gu Lanqiu’s fingertips paused.

Jiang Mengyu seemed not to have noticed. She half-closed her eyes tiredly. “Even if you tell him, it doesn’t matter.”

“I don’t care what he thinks.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that he hasn’t done anything yet,” Jiang Mengyu’s tone was calm and slow, “I would have wanted to cut his throat with a knife that night.”

Gu Lanqiu had seen the surveillance video from the restaurant that night. The change in Jiang Mengyu’s attitude toward Xu Zeyan had indeed happened in an instant, and the disgust in her eyes was also very real.

“So you were deliberately waiting for me there?” Gu Lanqiu recalled that when the two of them had met that night, the suppression and hesitation in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes, so that was what it was.

“Mmm,” Jiang Mengyu’s gaze traced Gu Lanqiu’s features. “I wanted to remind you to be careful, but I didn’t think you would believe me.”

Indeed.

If it weren’t for the subsequent events, Gu Lanqiu would not have taken Jiang Mengyu’s words to heart at all.

Jiang Mengyu’s mind was exceptionally clear at this moment. Gu Lanqiu met her gaze and only felt that her eyes were extremely deep and dark, the emotion in their depths unfathomable. The weariness and clarity of the world that she exuded made Gu Lanqiu unable to help but look at her in a new light.

“Let’s talk about your story again.”

She was referring to their previous life.

Jiang Mengyu’s fingertips curled. “What do you want to hear.”

“How did I die?”

A normal person, upon learning that they would die young, would be more or less worried. But Gu Lanqiu’s reaction was very flat, as if she were talking about a small matter that had nothing to do with her.

“There was a fire in the villa.”

Jiang Mengyu’s words confirmed Gu Lanqiu’s guess.

“Xu Zeyan didn’t let anyone come to the rescue. Only a maid rushed in, wanting to save someone.”

At this point, Jiang Mengyu’s originally calm emotions became agitated again, but because of the injury on her chest, she could not move too much. Her eyes were red, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

“You were unable to move… perhaps you felt that you couldn’t escape, so you had the maid save me first.”

A sentence was paused several times before it was finished.

Jiang Mengyu panted suppressively, her eyes gradually becoming filled with struggle.

[Lanqiu, no…]

Gu Lanqiu quickly pressed down on her hand. “Miss Jiang, calm down.”

Jiang Mengyu immediately grabbed her hand back.

Gu Lanqiu felt her trembling. Her body tensed and then relaxed. In the end, she still let her grab her fingers and did not break free.

Gu Lanqiu’s temperature was transmitted from the place where their fingers were touching. Jiang Mengyu moved her fingertips up and held Gu Lanqiu’s wrist tightly. Feeling the strong pulse beating under her palm, she finally gradually regained her consciousness.

“I’m sorry, I…” Jiang Mengyu let go of her hand.

Gu Lanqiu looked down at the finger marks on her wrist. Jiang Mengyu had grabbed her very hard. She was very uneasy, but she still restrained herself and let go after she had woken up.

“It’s fine,” Gu Lanqiu said impassively. “Continue.”

Jiang Mengyu’s voice was very low. She no longer looked at Gu Lanqiu, but turned to look elsewhere, her gaze not focused. “The fire was too big…”

This one sentence was enough for Gu Lanqiu to guess the ending.

“And then?”

Jiang Mengyu shook her head. “I fainted. When I woke up, I heard people say that you had already…”

She could not say the next word, but Gu Lanqiu finished her sentence lightly, “I died?”

Jiang Mengyu suddenly became agitated. “It’s all Xu Zeyan’s fault. He’s the one who should have died! Lanqiu, you clearly promised to raise Loose with me. It had just learned to shake hands…”

“Don’t get excited,” Gu Lanqiu said.

“This is just a story.”

Jiang Mengyu’s eye sockets were wet and red. “To you, it’s just a story, Lanqiu.”

“But I can’t forget.”

“I’m always not sure. Did I really save you?”

Her gaze fell on Gu Lanqiu’s legs. “Did I really do it?”

“Is it because I miss you too much, Lanqiu?”

“I think I’m dreaming again.”

Her words were chaotic and illogical.

Gu Lanqiu hummed in acknowledgment. “You did it.”

Jiang Mengyu suddenly lost her strength. “Is that so?”

As she spoke, her hand also hung down, her fingertips suspended on the hospital bed, motionless. “That’s good.”

It was this thin and fragile hand that had held a knife and stabbed it into her own body.

Gu Lanqiu asked her, “Then what do you plan to do next?”

“After breaking off the engagement?”

Jiang Mengyu’s lips moved. “I understand what you mean.”

“I will hide far away and not cause you any trouble.”

And then die in a corner where no one can find her?

Logically speaking, Gu Lanqiu’s sincerity in repaying her kindness was already great enough. The life-saving grace could not completely bind her and make her compromise for Jiang Mengyu for the rest of her life.

It was just that at this moment, Gu Lanqiu had rarely taken an interest in Jiang Mengyu. If this person died just like that, her future life might become even more boring.

Just a few hours ago, Gu Lanqiu had still felt that it would not sound good to be involved with her nephew’s ex-fiancée. Now, she had suddenly changed her mind.

Anyway, she was an ex-fiancée. Rounding up, it meant that there was no relationship.

Besides, the psychologist had also said that the reason why Jiang Mengyu was so uneasy was because she could not distinguish between reality and dreams. If she could have more contact with her and make her realize that dreams were all fake, Jiang Mengyu might slowly get better.

Markel would be coming to Z Country next month. She still had a month to slowly play with Jiang Mengyu.

Besides, Gu Lanqiu also wanted to try if her mind-reading ability was really related to Jiang Mengyu.

After thinking it through, Gu Lanqiu relaxed and leaned back in her chair, asking Jiang Mengyu, “Miss Jiang, you said last time that as a reward for saving your life, you wanted me?”

Jiang Mengyu held her breath. “You…”

Gu Lanqiu curled her lip. “You should recover well.”

“I have a house in North Garden. I occasionally go there to stay for a couple of days. That place is quiet and suitable for you to paint.”

Jiang Mengyu tightened her fingers and stared at her without blinking. “Is it what I think it is?”

Gu Lanqu stood up. “I still have something to do at the company. I’ll go first.”

“Lanqiu!” Jiang Mengyu wanted a definite answer.

Gu Lanqiu was unmoved. “You should recover well first.”

Her attitude toward Jiang Mengyu was like a handout, like pity.

The difficulty of conquering Gu Lanqiu was that her tolerance and compromise were only on the surface. Deep down, she was cold and cruel.

Although she did not hesitate at all once she found out what she wanted, and her actions were clean and decisive, her favorability had not moved at all.

Jiang Mengyu watched Gu Lanqiu’s departing back. Only after the person had completely disappeared did she withdraw her gaze and look down at her own fingers.

The fair knuckles slowly closed.

I’ve got it.

…

Gu Lanqiu had someone announce online that Jiang Mengyu and Xu Zeyan had a falling out and had decided to break up.

Although she was just playing with Jiang Mengyu and did not think that the two of them were in a relationship, if Jiang Mengyu continued to hold the title of Xu Zeyan’s fiancée, Gu Lanqiu would inevitably find it a little jarring.

As the person involved, Xu Zeyan had only heard about this matter from his assistant.

He had been recovering these past few days. Because Jiang Mengyu had not come to apologize to him, Xu Zeyan was also holding a breath of anger and had not contacted her.

That ruthless woman Jiang Mengyu, she had beaten him like this, and she didn’t even come to see him. Even Zhou Xinying was more considerate than her!

For some reason, Gu Lanqiu had not let Xu Zeyan know that Jiang Mengyu was injured. Even Father Zhou and Mrs. Jiang had tacitly hidden it from him, and even Zhou Xinying was kept in the dark.

At this moment, upon hearing that it had been officially announced, Xu Zeyan could no longer sit still.

He opened Weibo and saw that his and Jiang Mengyu’s Weibo accounts had each posted a message, confirming the news of their breakup.

Xu Zeyan’s face was red, green, and blue, like an overturned palette.

He was not sure if Jiang Mengyu had posted her own Weibo, but his was definitely not posted by him!

There was only one person who had the ability to do this, Gu Lanqiu.

Xu Zeyan immediately called Gu Lanqiu. He called several times. Just as his patience was about to run out, the call finally connected.

“Speak,” Gu Lanqiu’s tone was cold.

Xu Zeyan was extremely aggrieved. “Aunt, was it you who used my account to post on Weibo, saying that I was going to break up with Jiang Mengyu?”

“Mmm,” Gu Lanqiu did not deny it.

“Why?!” Xu Zeyan’s face turned red with anger. “You didn’t even tell me.”

“There’s no need,” Gu Lanqiu retorted. “Jiang Mengyu wants to break off the engagement, and you agreed. What’s there to be conflicted about?”

Xu Zeyan: “I didn’t agree!”

He had said “break off the engagement then, break off the engagement” that day, but it was just in a fit of anger. He had put so much effort into Jiang Mengyu, and she was his savior. How could Xu Zeyan easily break off the engagement with her?

“It has nothing to do with me,” Gu Lanqiu ignored his anger. “Don’t bother her again.”

He didn’t even know where Jiang Mengyu was. How could he bother her?!

Xu Zeyan thought of Gu Lanqiu’s inexplicable protectiveness of Jiang Mengyu and questioned, “Aunt, do you know where Jiang Mengyu is?”

The assistant on the side was at a loss for words, but thinking of CEO Gu’s warning, he silently swallowed his words.

CEO Gu had not let them tell Young Master Xu the truth. In order to keep this job, he had to be sorry to Young Master Xu.

Gu Lanqiu’s reply was to directly hang up the phone. She had no time to comfort her broken-down nephew.

Xu Zeyan heard the busy tone. He fiercely threw his phone!

Gu! Lan! Qiu!

She was clearly only ten years older than him, but she had always put on the airs of an elder in front of him. For all these years, she had said that she was taking care of him, but in fact, she had been indifferent to him. Now, she was even helping an outsider to make him angry!

Did she have the appearance of an elder at all?

…

Jiang Mengyu got Gu Lanqiu’s contact information from the nurse.

It had to be said that the vicious supporting female character in the original novel had a pretty bad time. She was already Xu Zeyan’s fiancée, but she still didn’t have Gu Lanqiu’s WeChat.

However, this also showed that Gu Lanqiu had not acknowledged her from the bottom of her heart.

So her favorability had always been 0.

Jiang Mengyu knew that the nurse must have asked for Gu Lanqiu’s permission. The fact that she had given her Gu Lanqiu’s contact information meant that Gu Lanqiu had also agreed.

However, Jiang Mengyu did not do anything else. She just occasionally sent a few messages to Gu Lanqiu.

[After taking the medicine, the wound doesn’t hurt as much.]

[I just realized that lying down is also very tiring.]

[I dreamed of Loose just now.]

[It could actually talk.]

[I don’t know if it managed to escape in time when the fire started.]

[There seems to be someone singing downstairs.]

[It’s raining.]

They were all ordinary small things, rambling on. Gu Lanqiu glanced at them and then paid no more attention.

Perhaps seeing that Gu Lanqiu had not replied to her messages, Jiang Mengyu also gradually quieted down.

It wasn’t until a long time later that her phone suddenly vibrated again. Gu Lanqiu picked it up and saw that it was still from Jiang Mengyu.

But this time, there was only one sentence.

[Lanqiu, I miss you very much.]
