Chapter 68 p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (21)

The opportunity that Jiang Mengyu had been waiting for soon arrived.

Mrs. Jiang was very concerned about the matter between her and Gu Lanqiu, asking about the progress of their relationship every few days.

So Jiang Mengyu told Mrs. Jiang that she was planning to attend a charity auction with Gu Lanqiu.

She remembered that Father Zhou’s name seemed to be on the guest list.

Sure enough, the moment Jiang Mengyu finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang replied, “Your Uncle Zhou has also received an invitation.”

Jiang Mengyu hummed in acknowledgment, then her tone changed. “How has Zhou Xinying been lately?”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with her these past two days. She’s always running home, as if she’s looking for something.”

At this point, Mrs. Jiang suddenly lowered her voice. “Mengyu, could it be that she has already found out?”

“And what about Young Master Xu’s side?”

“Nothing,” Jiang Mengyu said softly. “The next time Zhou Xinying goes back, remember to tell her that I’m also going to attend this auction.”

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted. “You want Zhou Xinying to also attend?”

Why?

Mrs. Jiang was getting more and more confused by Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts.

She had clearly hated Zhou Xinying before, but now she was giving her opportunities everywhere, and had even said that Zhou Xinying was not their enemy.

Seeing that Zhou Xinying and Father Zhou’s relationship was getting better and better, Mrs. Jiang was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof all day, but Jiang Mengyu was still indifferent.

Jiang Mengyu’s tone was flat. “She is still useful to me.”

She did not explain any further.

In the end, Mrs. Jiang could only let out a long sigh. “Alright.”

Jiang Mengyu hung up the phone. A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from behind her. She turned her head and saw that Gu Lanqiu was wiping her hair as she walked out of the bathroom.

She was wearing a nightgown, and her two fair calves were directly exposed to the air. A few scattered red marks were faintly visible on her legs.

The scent of shower gel, accompanied by the warm scent on Gu Lanqiu’s body, rushed straight toward Jiang Mengyu.

“On the phone?”

Gu Lanqiu had already finished speaking when she came out. She had not heard clearly what Jiang Mengyu had said.

“Mmm,” Jiang Mengyu stood up and walked toward Gu Lanqiu, shaking the phone screen in front of her. “It was my mom.”

Gu Lanqiu glanced at it. The note of the last call was indeed “Mrs. Jiang.”

She did not think too much about it. Jiang Mengyu did indeed call Mrs. Jiang every few days. Gu Lanqiu was not so crazy as to be jealous of Jiang Mengyu’s own mother.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts.

[Mom doesn’t want me to be with Lanqiu.]

[She thinks Lanqiu is just playing around.]

[Does Lanqiu really not like me?]

Gu Lanqiu paused. Looking at the wet, dark eyes of the person in front of her, Gu Lanqiu threw the towel in her hand aside, grabbed Jiang Mengyu’s wrist, and leaned a little closer.

“What did Mrs. Jiang say?”

“Nothing,” Jiang Mengyu averted her eyes.

[Lanqiu won’t abandon me.]

[She said she would be with me forever.]

Gu Lanqiu had never said such a thing.

Seeing that Jiang Mengyu had mixed up her memories again, Gu Lanqiu’s face faded a little. She then unhesitatingly sealed Jiang Mengyu’s lips with her own, forbidding her from having any more wild thoughts.

Only by making Jiang Mengyu always pay attention to her, and only see her in her eyes, would she forget those things that she shouldn’t remember.

And Mrs. Jiang.

In the future, besides when it was necessary, it was better not to contact her anymore.

…

The next few days went by without any mishaps.

Jiang Mengyu did not cause any more trouble. Most of the time, she was painting in the villa, and then in the afternoon, she would go to pick up Gu Lanqiu from work. Occasionally, she would cook and make some soup for Gu Lanqiu.

At night, the two of them still slept together.

The marks on Gu Lanqiu’s body had almost never disappeared. The old ones had not yet faded before new ones were added.

This kind of life was calm and peaceful. Compared to before, it was indeed much less exciting, but Gu Lanqiu did not dislike it.

She was already used to seeing Jiang Mengyu when she got off work, and being held tightly by this person in her sleep at night. The kisses that Jiang Mengyu left on her were always fiery and hot, and her words of love were endless.

Gu Lanqiu did not say it, but in her heart, she was enjoying it.

These past few days, she had become obsessed with giving gifts to Jiang Mengyu. Looking at Jiang Mengyu wearing and carrying the things she had bought, a different kind of satisfaction arose in Gu Lanqiu’s heart.

That person had definitely not bought these for Jiang Mengyu, Gu Lanqiu thought carelessly.

If life could always be like this, it would actually not be bad.

Thinking of Professor Markel, who was about to come to Z Country, a hint of hesitation appeared in Gu Lanqiu’s heart for the first time.

…

Time flew by, and it was the day of the auction.

The clothes that Jiang Mengyu was wearing today were also matched by Gu Lanqiu. They were from the same designer as the ones on Gu Lanqiu, and the patterns on the cuffs were exceptionally similar.

Gu Lanqiu was standing in front of the mirror, tidying her hair. Jiang Mengyu came up from behind her, her slender hands lazily resting on Gu Lanqiu’s waist.

Gu Lanqiu looked at the fair and beautiful face that was close to her own, and for some reason, a wave of unease welled up in her heart, as if something was about to happen.

She couldn’t help but turn to look into Jiang Mengyu’s eyes and asked softly, “Does your heart still hurt?”

Jiang Mengyu shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

She pecked at the corner of Gu Lanqiu’s lips, her voice very soft. “Don’t be afraid.”

Gu Lanqiu took a deep breath and barely suppressed the strange feeling. “Let’s go.”

The two of them went out together.

The scale of this charity auction was not small, and there were many people attending. Jiang Mengyu followed behind Gu Lanqiu and walked in, and was led by the staff to a seat in the first row.

Gu Lanqiu knew that Jiang Mengyu had not attended such an event before. She was explaining the event process to Jiang Mengyu in a low voice when a shadow suddenly fell in front of her.

Gu Lanqiu looked up and saw that Zhou Xinying was standing in front of the two of them, staring at Jiang Mengyu without blinking.

Perhaps noticing Gu Lanqiu’s gaze, Zhou Xinying glanced at her, her tone polite and distant. “CEO Gu.”

Gu Lanqiu’s expression immediately faded. “Miss Zhou.”

She suddenly remembered that last time in the hospital, she had not been able to hear Zhou Xinying’s thoughts.

Gu Lanqiu raised her eyes. “Is Miss Zhou also interested in this kind of event?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xinying was a little surprised. Gu Lanqiu had actually taken the initiative to talk to her. The last time the two of them had met, she had clearly had an appearance of not wanting to talk much.

Gu Lanqiu did not miss the surprise on Zhou Xinying’s face, but she still did not hear her thoughts.

So last time was not a coincidence, but she really couldn’t hear?

From the moment Zhou Xinying had appeared, Jiang Mengyu’s attention had been on Gu Lanqiu. Gu Lanqiu’s deep thoughts and probing were all seen by her.

So 031’s introduction was not wrong. Gu Lanqiu’s mind-reading ability was indeed ineffective on Zhou Xinying?

Zhou Xinying quickly came back to her senses. “Thank you for your concern, CEO Gu. My father had something to do at the last minute, so he had me come.”

As Zhou Xinying spoke, her gaze moved back to Jiang Mengyu.

Gu Lanqiu’s attitude did not show any flaws, and she did not show much hostility toward her. It seemed that Jiang Mengyu had not told her about their conversation.

This was a secret that belonged exclusively to her and Jiang Mengyu.

A strange sense of excitement arose in Zhou Xinying’s heart.

She winked at Jiang Mengyu in front of Gu Lanqiu. “Long time no see, older sister.”

Hearing Zhou Xinying call Jiang Mengyu “older sister,” Gu Lanqiu’s heart felt strange.

Before she could show her displeasure, Jiang Mengyu had already spoken first, “Don’t call me that.”

Zhou Xinying’s face stiffened slightly. “Didn’t I always call you that before?”

Jiang Mengyu did not speak, just quietly looking at her.

Zhou Xinying compromised. “If you don’t like it, I won’t call you that.”

These words always sounded a little wrong.

A look of probing and suspicion appeared in Gu Lanqiu’s eyes.

She could not hear Zhou Xinying’s thoughts and did not know what she was thinking. But just by looking at Zhou Xinying’s attitude at this moment, it did not seem like she disliked Jiang Mengyu.

The request she had made a few days ago, was it really to have Jiang Mengyu apologize to her?

Gu Lanqiu’s expression was indifferent. She reached out and covered the back of Jiang Mengyu’s hand, her voice soft and steady. “Why are your hands so cold?”

Jiang Mengyu blinked and squeezed Gu Lanqiu’s fingertips accordingly, saying softly, “Then you can warm them for me.”

She was not shy at all about being intimate with Gu Lanqiu in front of Zhou Xinying. This intimate and natural attitude made Gu Lanqiu’s mood ease a little.

The two of them did not say anything too intimate, but the ambiguous and warm atmosphere was like an invisible barrier, isolating the others.

Zhou Xinying’s fingertips tightened. She silently sat down beside Jiang Mengyu.

Her seat was actually right next to her.

Gu Lanqiu’s brows furrowed.

Jiang Mengyu was sandwiched between the two of them. Her legs were crossed, but her upper body was leaning toward Gu Lanqiu.

“Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu said to her in a small voice. “I want this.”

She casually pointed to one of the auction items in the brochure. It was a pair of beautiful sapphire earrings, donated by an unknown private collector.

Gu Lanqiu’s brows moved slightly. “You like this?”

Jiang Mengyu’s gaze slid down from Gu Lanqiu’s features and landed on the side of her neck. A pearl stud was on her fair earlobe. “It suits you very well.”

Gu Lanqiu’s fingertips tapped lightly. “Is that so?”

“Mmm,” Jiang Mengyu’s gaze lingered on Gu Lanqiu’s face.

[Lanqiu is so well-behaved.]

[I want to kiss.]

Gu Lanqiu discovered that Jiang Mengyu always liked to use some words that did not match her to describe her.

She did not speak, only using her eyes to stop Jiang Mengyu.

This was not a good place to kiss.

The invisible tail behind Jiang Mengyu drooped.

Gu Lanqiu paused, then said, “The auction will probably end within three hours.”

There were not many items in the brochure. If it was fast, it might not even take three hours to finish.

Jiang Mengyu: “Huh?”

Seeing her pretending to be stupid, Gu Lanqiu couldn’t help but sneer.

Didn’t Jiang Mengyu want to kiss?

It would be fine when they got home.

Their voices were not loud, but Zhou Xinying was sitting very close and still heard the gist of their conversation.

They were in a hurry to go home?

To do what?

Zhou Xinying couldn’t help but turn to look at Jiang Mengyu. Jiang Mengyu’s gaze was all on Gu Lanqiu and had not noticed her gaze. On the contrary, it was Gu Lanqiu who had discovered it the moment Zhou Xinying had looked over.

She glanced at Zhou Xinying, her eyes as if with a hint of a warning.

Zhou Xinying pinched her palm.

In front of Gu Lanqiu, Jiang Mengyu was so obedient and well-behaved, and even coquettish.

It was completely different from the way she looked at her.

On what grounds could Gu Lanqiu be treated so specially?

For the first time, Zhou Xinying did not avoid Gu Lanqiu’s gaze, but looked straight back.

Her subconscious performance made the suspicion in Gu Lanqiu’s heart even stronger.

Zhou Xinying’s hostility toward her was not subtle. Was it because she had driven Xu Zeyan away?

Or…

Gu Lanqiu couldn’t help but lower her eyes and look at Jiang Mengyu, who was leaning against her. Did Jiang Mengyu know that Zhou Xinying’s feelings for her might not be simple?

Jiang Mengyu: “What’s wrong?”

Her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of panic or pretense.

When Zhou Xinying had appeared just now, Gu Lanqiu had also not heard any other thoughts in Jiang Mengyu’s heart.

Perhaps Jiang Mengyu really only had disgust for Zhou Xinying.

But Zhou Xinying was not necessarily so.
