The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 70p2

Chapter 70p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (23)

On the way, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was heavy and dull.

Only when they reached the car door did Gu Lanqiu let go of her hand and turn to Jiang Mengyu. “Get in the car.”

Jiang Mengyu silently got into the car.

Gu Lanqiu wanted to say something, but she held it in.

Jiang Mengyu’s attitude was already very obvious. Something must have happened just now.

Gu Lanqiu knitted her brows and lowered her head to send a message to Secretary Zhao, asking him to quickly negotiate with the person in charge of the auction and ask for a copy of the surveillance footage from ten minutes ago.

She wanted to know what on earth had happened that would make Jiang Mengyu so angry.

She wasn’t even angry yet, and Jiang Mengyu was already giving her a cold shoulder?

The way back was also very quiet.

Jiang Mengyu did not look at Gu Lanqiu, but turned her head to look out the car window, her thoughts unknown.

From Gu Lanqiu’s angle, she could only see a small half of her side profile. Under the cover of her messy hair, Jiang Mengyu’s lips were as pale as snow, and her thin lips were tightly closed, showing the owner’s suppressed mood.

Gu Lanqiu still did not hear Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts.

Was it that Jiang Mengyu really wasn’t thinking about anything in her heart?

Or had she also become “special” like Zhou Xinying?

This thought appeared in her mind, and the next second, Gu Lanqiu’s face became even worse.

Jiang Mengyu and Zhou Xinying…

Gu Lanqiu withdrew her gaze. She was holding a breath of anger in her heart and had no intention of taking the initiative to speak.

The two of them were clearly so close, but the atmosphere between them was unprecedentedly stiff and distant.

They returned to North Garden in silence.

Aunt Zhang knew that they had gone to attend an auction and had originally thought that the two of them would not be back for dinner. Who knew that she would see Gu Lanqiu and Jiang Mengyu walk in one after the other.

“CEO Gu, Miss Jiang, you are…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Zhang keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Had these two had a fight again?

Gu Lanqiu did not explain. She just instructed her not to disturb them, and then was the first to go upstairs.

Her peripheral vision saw Jiang Mengyu silently following behind her. Gu Lanqiu closed her eyes and let out a silent breath.

Just as her hand was on the doorknob, a shadow covered her from behind.

Jiang Mengyu was like a silent shadow, quietly following behind Gu Lanqiu.

She did not speak, but Gu Lanqiu could feel the sticky gaze on her, as heavy and wet as a water-soaked thick cotton blanket.

Gu Lanqiu paused for two seconds, then lowered her eyes and pressed her wrist down.

Just as she had pushed open a crack in the door, her shoulder was pressed against the wall by someone, and the door closed behind her.

Gu Lanqiu was not surprised, nor did she struggle.

The scene in front of her seemed to overlap with the previous scene, but the difference was that this time, before Jiang Mengyu’s lips could press against hers, Gu Lanqiu tilted her head and dodged.

The kiss finally landed on the side of Gu Lanqiu’s face.

Jiang Mengyu was as if she had been petrified. She was instantly motionless. Her hand was still on Gu Lanqiu’s shoulder, and a hint of a crazy scarlet faintly appeared in her deep, dark eyes.

She had endured for so long. Only after she had returned to a familiar environment did Jiang Mengyu finally completely stop hiding her emotions.

The hand that was on Gu Lanqiu’s shoulder was trembling slightly. The person in front of her was like a taut bow, with the possibility of losing control at any time.

Gu Lanqiu’s face was tense, her expression indifferent as she looked at Jiang Mengyu.

“You have nothing you want to say to me?”

Jiang Mengyu’s breathing was heavy. She stared at Gu Lanqiu and retorted, “Lanqiu, do you love me?”

Her voice was inexplicably a little hoarse.

Gu Lanqiu did not answer her question, but continued to ask, “Who did you meet?”

Jiang Mengyu raised her hand and caressed the side of Gu Lanqiu’s face. Her thumb repeatedly rubbed the corner of Gu Lanqiu’s eye, as if confirming that the person in front of her was real.

“Lanqiu.”

Jiang Mengyu’s voice was very soft, with a hint of an imperceptible confusion and disappointment.

“In your heart, what on earth am I?”

She had repeatedly avoided the question. Finally, Gu Lanqiu’s already not-so-much patience was completely exhausted. “Jiang Mengyu.”

Gu Lanqiu said word by word, “What on earth happened?”

Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were red. “Who do you think I would meet?”

Gu Lanqiu recalled the guest list of the auction today in her mind. A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind. “Fu Lianxi?”

Ever since they had parted last time, Fu Lianxi had returned to school two days later, so Gu Lanqiu had not thought of her at all at the beginning.

Jiang Mengyu did not speak, which was clearly a tacit agreement.

A wave of restlessness arose in Gu Lanqiu’s heart. The last time the two of them had had a fight was because of Fu Lianxi.

She had considered their years of friendship and had not done anything to Fu Lianxi. She had thought that Fu Lianxi would be well-behaved from then on. Who knew that after just a few days, the other party would start to cause trouble again?

Gu Lanqiu’s brows furrowed tightly. “What did she say to you?”

Jiang Mengyu’s fingertips stopped at the corner of Gu Lanqiu’s eye. She stared at Gu Lanqiu’s eyes and said slowly, “She said, you’re just using me as a substitute.”

“Because my eyes are very much like your first love.”

First love my ass!

Before she had met Jiang Mengyu, she had never been in a relationship!

For the first time, Gu Lanqiu couldn’t help but want to curse.

“I remember I told you.”

Gu Lanqiu’s head was throbbing with a dull ache. Disappointment and absurdity were intertwined in her heart, which made her emotions also begin to get out of control.

“I have never been moved by anyone else.”

“What about me?” Jiang Mengyu asked in a hoarse voice. “Am I also considered someone else?”

Gu Lanqiu stared at her for a long while before she asked in a low voice, “So? What do you want to say?”

“Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu was as if she had lost all her strength. She slowly let go of her hand. “I’m always very scared.”

“Afraid that everything in front of me is fake.”

“You won’t agree to my pursuit, but you’re willing to kiss me and sleep with me.”

Jiang Mengyu’s voice had a faint tremble in it. “To you, what on earth am I?”

Gu Lanqiu’s heart felt as if it were soaked in salt water, both sour and salty. “What about you?”

Gu Lanqiu retorted, “To you, what am I?”

Before Jiang Mengyu could speak, she continued, “You say you love me, but is that what you really think in your heart?”

“Fu Lianxi’s few words can make you suspicious of me.”

“You’d rather believe her than me.”

Just thinking that Jiang Mengyu would give her a cold shoulder because of such a clumsy lie, Gu Lanqiu felt very disappointed, and at the same time, there was a strong sense of unwillingness.

If she were facing her in her previous life, would Jiang Mengyu be willing to treat her with such an attitude?

Jiang Mengyu averted her face.

Gu Lanqiu could not see her expression clearly, only hearing her say very softly, “Her past with you is something I can never interfere with.”

“Lanqiu, you are like a kite in the sky.”

“Is it that no matter how hard I try, I can’t catch you?”

Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were full of a lost soul. “There are too many people around you. I am no longer the only one.”

A cool fingertip once again landed on Gu Lanqiu’s features. Jiang Mengyu parted her thin lips and murmured, “You were clearly not like this before…”

[Lanqiu’s side, there should clearly only be me.]

[Why has it become different?]

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, instantly making Gu Lanqiu’s tense nerves completely snap. “Before?”

Gu Lanqiu’s eyes were also faintly red and wet. She pinched Jiang Mengyu’s chin with her hand, forcing the other party to look at her. “Jiang Mengyu, look clearly.”

Gu Lanqiu’s tone was unprecedentedly cold. “I’ll say it one last time. I am not that useless person.”

“Don’t treat me as someone else.”

Why was it that until now, in Jiang Mengyu’s heart, there was still only that person?

Then what did their time together count for?

Gu Lanqiu stared at Jiang Mengyu, the force of her hand so great that Jiang Mengyu’s face was a little painful.

Jiang Mengyu raised her hand and grabbed Gu Lanqiu’s wrist. She seemed to have been stimulated by Gu Lanqiu’s words, and her eyes became chaotic and confused.

Clearly, her consciousness was almost unclear, but she still instinctively defended:

“She is not useless.”

This was not the first time she had said such a thing.

Last time, Gu Lanqiu had just pretended not to have heard, but this time, she did not want to endure it anymore.

“Yes, she is not.”

Gu Lanqiu’s tone was sarcastic. “She is the person you love, right?”

She rarely spoke without thinking. “Then you can go and find her, find the person you truly trust, truly like.”

“Why bother staying here and being entangled with me?”
