The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 63p1

Chapter 63 p1: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (16)

◎Jiang Mengyu had lied to her◎

Wen Lingyi’s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously turned to look at Gu Lanqiu’s reaction.

Jiang Mengyu also lowered her head again. She didn’t speak, just silently looking at Gu Lanqiu.

The body under her palm clearly tensed for a moment, and Gu Lanqiu’s face was also a little dull.

Although this was a fact that several of them knew very well, when she heard Fu Lianxi mention Jiang Mengyu and Xu Zeyan at the same time, Gu Lanqiu still felt a little displeased in her heart.

Fu Lianxi observed the reactions of the few of them. “What’s wrong? Could it be that I’ve mistaken the person?”

She was asking if she had mistaken the person, not if she had said the wrong thing.

After Fu Lianxi finished speaking, her expression was as calm as usual, but her thoughts had completely exposed her.

[The people around Lanqiu, I won’t be mistaken!]

[She is Jiang Mengyu.]

Was she doing it on purpose?

Gu Lanqiu was leaning against the sofa with her legs crossed. She knitted her brows, and the suspicion in her eyes grew thicker.

Fu Lianxi and she hadn’t seen each other for several years. Why was she so familiar with the people around her?

As Gu Lanqiu was thinking, she suddenly heard Jiang Mengyu say faintly above her head, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Her tone was cold with a hint of sarcasm. The hand that was on Gu Lanqiu’s body also moved, her fingertips lightly pinching Gu Lanqiu’s shoulder.

Gu Lanqiu knew Jiang Mengyu quite well. She knew that she was unhappy.

From the moment Jiang Mengyu had appeared until now, the cold aura on her body had been very heavy.

Her hostility seemed to be directed at Fu Lianxi.

Gu Lanqiu remembered that Jiang Mengyu didn’t seem to have met Fu Lianxi before. So had something happened in her previous life that had made Jiang Mengyu dislike Fu Lianxi very much?

No wonder her reaction was so strange.

After hearing that she was having a gathering with her university classmates, not only did she not obediently go back to North Garden first, but she had rushed straight to the bar.

Gu Lanqiu sorted out her thoughts. She did not push away Jiang Mengyu’s hand, but turned to Fu Lianxi and said, “She is not.”

Wen Lingyi also quickly eased the atmosphere and said, “Lianxi, you’re usually busy with work. You probably haven’t been on Weibo much.”

“Miss Jiang has already canceled her engagement with Zeyan and broken up peacefully a while ago.”

A peaceful breakup?

Xu Zeyan was still lying in the hospital, recovering.

Jiang Mengyu did not express any opinion on Wen Lingyi’s words. She just looked at Fu Lianxi faintly.

Fu Lianxi didn’t know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that Jiang Mengyu seemed to have a big problem with her.

“So that’s how it is,” Fu Lianxi smiled. “Looking at you guys, I thought…”

What she thought, she did not finish, but the few of them could guess what she wanted to say.

She felt that the way Gu Lanqiu and Jiang Mengyu interacted was too intimate.

Gu Lanqiu was not the kind of person who was easy to get close to. How could she be so close to her own nephew’s ex-girlfriend?

Fu Lianxi was unwilling to think too much, but the hand that was on Gu Lanqiu’s body was really an eyesore, and also her action of snatching Gu Lanqiu’s cigarette…

Jiang Mengyu ignored Fu Lianxi’s pointed words. She just lowered her long lashes, her gaze firmly locked on Gu Lanqiu.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Wen Lingyi quickly stood up and persuaded, “Mengyu, you’ve come at the right time. Why don’t you sit down and have a couple of drinks with us?”

The booth they were in was near the second-floor railing. There were three sofas in total. Gu Lanqiu was sitting alone, while Wen Lingyi was sitting with Fu Lianxi. The sofa on the other side was empty.

But Jiang Mengyu did not walk toward the empty sofa. Instead, she walked around the sofa armrest in front of her and stood in front of Gu Lanqiu.

Seeing this, Fu Lianxi’s eyes darkened. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Gu Lanqiu had already silently made a space.

Jiang Mengyu sat down next to Gu Lanqiu.

Fu Lianxi was immediately choked.

She didn’t know what Gu Lanqiu was thinking. The space she had made happened to be closer to Wen Lingyi and Fu Lianxi. The current situation had become that Jiang Mengyu was sitting in the middle, and on her right was Fu Lianxi.

The table in the bar was not very high. Fu Lianxi’s sharp eyes saw that under the table, Jiang Mengyu and Gu Lanqiu’s legs were clearly pressed together.

She tightened her grip on her wine glass and carefully studied Gu Lanqiu’s face.

Gu Lanqiu’s face was calm, as if she didn’t feel anything.

Fu Lianxi barely managed to curl her lips. “Miss Jiang is really young.”

“Looking at you, I’m reminded of our university days.”

She brought up the interesting things from university. Jiang Mengyu could not get a word in, and she had no intention of doing so. She just bent down and picked up a lighter and a cigarette case from the table, took out a new cigarette from inside, and handed it to Gu Lanqiu.

Gu Lanqiu: “…What’s wrong?”

“I’m returning it to you.”

She was referring to the matter of snatching a cigarette from Gu Lanqiu just now.

Just as Gu Lanqiu was about to take it, Jiang Mengyu pulled back. Her gaze stopped on Gu Lanqiu’s lips, the emotion in her eyes blurry and difficult to discern.

Gu Lanqiu: …

Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were very dark, the color of her pupils as deep as ink. When she was not speaking, the gloomy and cold temperament on her body became more and more obvious.

For a moment, Gu Lanqiu even felt that the way Jiang Mengyu looked at her was also cold.

She was clearly doing it on purpose.

Her peripheral vision saw that Wen Lingyi and Fu Lianxi were both looking in this direction. Gu Lanqiu’s fingertips curled. In the end, she did not reject Jiang Mengyu.

She leaned her body forward and at the same time tilted her head. As her long lashes half-lowered, her thin lips lightly opened a crack, and she took the cigarette from Jiang Mengyu’s hand with her lips.

The soft lips brushed against her knuckles. The two of them were too close. Jiang Mengyu could even see the faint red blush under Gu Lanqiu’s eyes, which was as thin as a veil.

Her body exuded a faint scent of perfume. This scent was not covered by the mixed smell in the bar, but instead appeared even more unique.

When Gu Lanqiu had kissed her, she seemed to have had the same posture.

Jiang Mengyu withdrew her hand.

From the time Gu Lanqiu had leaned over to the time she had sat back, it had only been a few seconds. But the impact of this scene on Wen Lingyi and Fu Lianxi was long-lasting.

Wen Lingyi’s eyes widened. So this was how Gu Lanqiu and Jiang Mengyu usually played?

She could probably imagine how ambiguous they were in private.

No wonder both of them were wearing high-collared clothes. Was it because the places under their clothes were simply unbearable to look at?

Tsk tsk.

Compared to Wen Lingyi’s simple gossip, Fu Lianxi’s mood was much more complicated.

She knew that this action might not mean anything between girls, but that was Gu Lanqiu.

Besides, Fu Lianxi could tell that Jiang Mengyu and she should be the same kind of person.

The way she looked at Gu Lanqiu, and the possessive intimacy in her behavior, were not what ordinary friends should have.

Did Gu Lanqiu know?

Fu Lianxi stared at Jiang Mengyu.

[Does Lanqiu know that Jiang Mengyu likes her?]

[What is their relationship?]

If it had just been a suspicion before, after hearing these two thoughts, the certainty in Gu Lanqiu’s heart had increased to 70%.

Did Fu Lianxi also like women?

A straight woman like Wen Lingyi, if it weren’t for Gu Lanqiu taking the initiative to confess to her, she would never have thought in that direction.

But Fu Lianxi had guessed that their relationship was not innocent just based on a few interactions between her and Jiang Mengyu…

She had only stared at Fu Lianxi for two more seconds when her leg was lightly bumped. Gu Lanqiu came back to her senses and saw that Jiang Mengyu had lit the lighter in her hand.

The fingertips that had been tapping on the sofa armrest paused. Gu Lanqiu was motionless, letting Jiang Mengyu lean over and light the cigarette in her mouth for her.

The moment the flame flickered, Gu Lanqiu clearly saw a thick, unresolvable obsession and coldness in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes.

She was silent, like a hunter hiding in the dark.

Gu Lanqiu did not doubt at all that if Wen Lingyi and Fu Lianxi were not present, Jiang Mengyu might have already kissed her.

Gu Lanqiu’s long lashes trembled. Before everything became even more uncontrollable, she timely averted her eyes.

Seeing this, Fu Lianxi suddenly felt that she was very ridiculous.

She admitted that she had been doing it on purpose, deliberately leading the topic to their university life, wanting to annoy Jiang Mengyu.

Those memories belonged to the three of them and had nothing to do with Jiang Mengyu.

Fu Lianxi had done this matter openly and honorably, and no fault could be found with it, but it was indeed disgusting.

But Gu Lanqiu did not take the bait. Her attention was all on Jiang Mengyu, which made Fu Lianxi feel as if she were performing a one-man show.

She had actually already guessed the relationship between these two, but she was unwilling to believe it. How could Gu Lanqiu fall in love with her nephew’s ex-girlfriend?

Fu Lianxi had said that she had come on a business trip, but in fact, she had been lying to Gu Lanqiu.

She had learned of Gu Lanqiu’s scandal from another friend and had specially come to confirm it.

Actually, what Wen Lingyi had said was not wrong. Gu Lanqiu’s age was not small. Even if she was really in a relationship, it was nothing.

Fu Lianxi had long given up hope. She knew that Gu Lanqiu did not like women, let alone herself, so for all these years, she had been tightly hiding her feelings in her heart, not daring to let Gu Lanqiu know.

It was just that upon suddenly learning that Gu Lanqiu had a lover, Fu Lianxi’s heart always felt a little strange.

After a few struggles, she still booked a flight to S City.

Before she came, Fu Lianxi had told herself that she just wanted to take a look.

If it was fake, then forget it; if it was real, she wanted to know what kind of person could make Gu Lanqiu’s heart move.

She had not thought that it would be a woman, let alone Jiang Mengyu.

A wave of unwillingness and jealousy inevitably welled up in Fu Lianxi’s heart.

If she had also been a little braver back then, would…

No.

Jiang Mengyu played with the lighter in her hand, her expression indifferent and calm.

Gu Lanqiu noticed that Jiang Mengyu seemed to have glanced at her. She looked over, but Jiang Mengyu had already withdrawn her gaze.

She had her side profile to Gu Lanqiu, and the free hand seemed to have inadvertently moved to the side.

Gu Lanqiu only felt a slight heat on her leg. She glanced down but did not speak.

The chat also had no interesting topics.

So Wen Lingyi suggested, “Why don’t we play a game?”

The others had no objections.
