The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 71p2

Chapter 71 p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (24)

After Jiang Mengyu had run for a certain distance, she slowly stopped and changed to a slow walk.

The person behind her did not catch up. Only Aunt Zhang had called her a few times.

Jiang Mengyu’s face was faint. Her dark eyes were still filled with a wet red. Her long hair was unbound, and she was not wearing a coat. Her two arms were directly exposed to the air.

It was not particularly cold tonight, but it was very fitting that not long after Jiang Mengyu had come out, it had started to drizzle, like a dense silk thread, covering her body with a layer of moisture.

The fine raindrops hung on her eyelashes, like tears that had unconsciously overflowed. Paired with her thin figure, it inexplicably exuded a hint of pity.

031 was already dumbfounded.

[Host?!]

The scene in front of her was somewhat familiar.

The familiar sense of shock made 031’s heart a little numb.

[Didn’t you not believe Fu Lianxi’s words?]

Why did she still use this reason to argue with Gu Lanqiu?

Everything was fine. How did it become like this again?

Jiang Mengyu did not care about the raindrops on her face, nor did she bother with 031.

Of course she could have chosen to be at peace, but that was not Jiang Mengyu’s style.

She remembered that she had once told 031 that a relationship needed hardships and stimulation.

Things that were too easily obtained were always not cherished.

Hadn’t Gu Lanqiu’s favorability growth slowed down these past few days?

Besides, 031 had also asked her to get 300 favorability points. If she had always stayed by Gu Lanqiu’s side, with her possessiveness for her own things, how long would she have to wait to complete the mission?

Jiang Mengyu did not walk fast. 031 looked at the indifferent expression on her face and probably guessed something.

Thinking of the Host’s previous operations, for some reason, 031 was suddenly not so shocked anymore.

Perhaps it should have known long ago that the Host was not the kind of person who could settle down and do the mission properly!

031 lit an electronic cigarette with a world-weary air. [Host, then where are you planning to go now?]

She couldn’t just walk aimlessly like this, right?

“No rush.”

Looking at the figure that had appeared with an umbrella in her field of vision, Jiang Mengyu narrowed her eyes. Wasn’t she here?

The person who had come was Zhou Xinying.

Zhou Xinying also hadn’t expected that she would really be able to wait for Jiang Mengyu.

Ever since she had watched Jiang Mengyu and Gu Lanqiu leave at the auction site, Zhou Xinying’s heart had always been a little unsettled. In the unseen, she had a premonition that something might happen tonight.

This inexplicable intuition had prompted Zhou Xinying to drive to North Garden.

When she was waiting in the car, looking at the light rain that had gradually started to fall outside, Zhou Xinying couldn’t help but laugh at her own naivety.

Jiang Mengyu was probably being sweet and affectionate with Gu Lanqiu at this moment. Her secret anticipation was like a joke.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Through the layers of rain, Zhou Xinying recognized at a glance that it was Jiang Mengyu.

Jiang Mengyu was walking alone in the rain. Her face was so pale it was bloodless, and her eyes seemed to have no focus, her face full of confusion and a lost soul.

Behind her was empty, with only the tall building shrouded in dark clouds and fine rain, which made Jiang Mengyu’s figure look exceptionally small and thin.

Zhou Xinying only took two seconds to think, then unhesitatingly got out of the car with an umbrella.

At first, she walked very fast. Only when she was a few steps away from Jiang Mengyu did her steps slowly stop.

Zhou Xinying did not immediately speak. She was waiting for Jiang Mengyu’s reaction.

But Jiang Mengyu seemed not to have recognized her. Seeing that she was about to pass by her, Zhou Xinying could no longer hold back and reached out to grab her wrist.

“Where are you going?”

Jiang Mengyu turned to look at Zhou Xinying.

Zhou Xinying did not know how to describe her gaze. It was cold and lonely, and also had a hint of confusion. The coldness in it was like an ice pick, making Zhou Xinying shiver.

The way Jiang Mengyu looked at her was as if she were looking at a lifeless object.

“Jiang Mengyu?” Zhou Xinying called out in a low voice.

Seeing that she was all wet, Zhou Xinying couldn’t help but tilt the umbrella in her hand toward her. “Did you have a fight with Gu Lanqiu?”

I don’t know which word had stimulated Jiang Mengyu.

Zhou Xinying only saw Jiang Mengyu suddenly approach her. Before she could react, her neck was grabbed by a cold hand.

“It’s you,” Jiang Mengyu’s voice was very low, with an indistinct madness.

Seeing that she had finally recognized her, Zhou Xinying’s heart finally settled a little. She ignored the hand on her neck and asked again in a low voice, “Where is Gu Lanqiu?”

She was also so heartless as to let Jiang Mengyu be in the rain alone?

“Lanqiu…”

Jiang Mengyu’s gaze became chaotic for a moment again.

Zhou Xinying saw that her state was not right.

The Jiang Mengyu who had always been high and mighty in front of her actually had such a pathetic and pitiful day.

Her lips were very white, but her eyes were red, and tears were faintly hanging at the corners of her eyes. Her whole person was like she had lost her soul.

Zhou Xinying’s fingertips moved. She subconsciously reached out, wanting to wipe away the water from the corners of Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. Before her fingertips could touch her face, she tilted her head and dodged.

A drop of water inadvertently dripped on Zhou Xinying’s hand. The momentary coolness made Zhou Xinying’s heart also feel an itch.

The scene in front of her was just like what she had peeped at that night, equally making Zhou Xinying’s heart stir and her blood boil.

The difference was that that night, she could only watch from a distance. But now, Jiang Mengyu was standing in front of her. She only needed to raise her hand to touch her.

[Ding! Mission target Zhou Xinying’s favorability +10. Current total favorability: 244.]

The hand that was on her neck suddenly tightened a lot. Zhou Xinying immediately felt it was difficult to breathe. She knitted her brows, and Jiang Mengyu’s voice sounded in her ear.

“Take me…”

“Where to?” Zhou Xinying asked with difficulty.

Jiang Mengyu did not care at all that Zhou Xinying’s face had turned red. She said word by word, “Take me to find Lanqiu.”

Even though she was so pathetic, Jiang Mengyu’s tone when she spoke was still condescending, not like a request, but more like a cold command.

Gu Lanqiu?

Zhou Xinying only felt it was absurd.

Hadn’t Jiang Mengyu just come out of Gu Lanqiu’s house?

“Where do you want to find Gu Lanqiu?”

Jiang Mengyu’s expression became blank again because of Zhou Xinying’s words. She seemed to be thinking, and the force of her hand also unconsciously loosened a little.

Zhou Xinying could finally breathe.

The hand holding the umbrella handle had lost its strength due to suffocation. The large black umbrella tilted, and the cold wind wrapped in rain blew in her face, drenching a large part of her body. But she did not care at all, only staring at Jiang Mengyu.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard Jiang Mengyu’s answer.

She gave a string of addresses.

Zhou Xinying quickly thought in her mind.

The place that Jiang Mengyu had mentioned seemed not to be special. How could Gu Lanqiu be there?

But she did not raise any questions. Instead, she tightened her grip on the umbrella in her hand and said in a low voice, “Then you let go first, and then get in the car with me.”

Jiang Mengyu’s probing gaze swept over her face. A moment later, she slowly let go of her hand.

Although she was crazy at this moment, she was inexplicably quite obedient.

Zhou Xinying selectively forgot that she had just been in so much pain from being choked by Jiang Mengyu that she couldn’t breathe.

She finally gave the villa behind Jiang Mengyu a look, then said firmly, “Follow me.”

If she didn’t leave now, Gu Lanqiu would be chasing after her.

…

“What did you say?”

Gu Lanqiu was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze cold and heavy as she looked at the rain curtain outside the window.

“Miss Jiang was taken away by the second young lady Zhou.”

Another Zhou Xinying?

Why was she so persistent?

Gu Lanqiu’s chest felt as if it were being squeezed by something. The dull pain became more and more obvious.

She had just wanted to teach Jiang Mengyu a lesson.

The scene of Jiang Mengyu turning and leaving, and the scene of her standing with Zhou Xinying, constantly alternated in her mind, making Gu Lanqiu’s head ache violently.

She had originally thought of letting Jiang Mengyu go and find her.

Only after Jiang Mengyu had realized that it was impossible for her to find the Gu Lanqiu from her previous life would she appear in front of her and make her completely face reality.

Before Jiang Mengyu had given up on her search, the only thing she had to do was to have someone follow her and not let her have any accidents.

Gu Lanqiu had not really planned to ignore Jiang Mengyu.

She was just too disappointed and also too angry, so she wanted to make Jiang Mengyu suffer a little.

But she hadn’t expected Jiang Mengyu to be taken away by Zhou Xinying.

Jiang Mengyu didn’t want her, but she was willing to get into Zhou Xinying’s car?

Gu Lanqiu pinched her palm, her tone so cold it was at its extreme. “Follow them.”

She hung up the phone.

The room was quiet for a long time. The rain outside gradually became heavier. Only after the raindrops had completely covered the glass did Gu Lanqiu’s voice sound again in the air.

“Professor Markel?”

“The treatment plan you mentioned before, I’ve seen it.”

Gu Lanqiu’s face was hidden in the darkness, her voice faint, cold, and heavy. “Let’s just do as you think.”

“It’s just that there’s been a bit of an accident on my side.”

“I hope you can come over as soon as possible.”

“The sooner the better.”

…

After getting into the car, Zhou Xinying did not immediately start the car. Instead, she found a blanket and handed it to Jiang Mengyu.

“Wipe the water droplets from your body.”

But Jiang Mengyu did not take it. She just lowered her eyes, lost in thought, as if she had not heard Zhou Xinying’s words.

Seeing this, Zhou Xinying could only put the blanket aside first.

What on earth had happened between Jiang Mengyu and Gu Lanqiu?

And what did she mean by “go and find Gu Lanqiu”?

Zhou Xinying had too many questions in her heart. Unfortunately, Jiang Mengyu was ignoring her, so she couldn’t ask.

Besides, Zhou Xinying had a feeling that even if she asked, Jiang Mengyu might not tell her.

She turned the car around and drove toward the location that Jiang Mengyu had mentioned. As she was driving, she observed Jiang Mengyu through the rearview mirror.

It was rare for them to be so quiet.

Jiang Mengyu rarely spoke to her sarcastically. She just lowered her long lashes, her body wet, her whole temperament gloomy and depressed.

The rose-scented car fragrance began to evaporate in the small space. This scent, which Zhou Xinying was used to smelling, seemed to have a hint of the dampness of the rain.

Her body gradually warmed up. Zhou Xinying looked at Jiang Mengyu in the back seat, and her heart actually gradually calmed down.

The silver Panamera drove in the rainy night, passing through the thick rain and fog, all the way to its destination.

Only after the car had stopped at the location that Jiang Mengyu had mentioned did Zhou Xinying realize that it was actually a pet shop.

However, it was already late at night, and the pet shop had long closed for the day.

Zhou Xinying parked the car. Just as she was about to speak to Jiang Mengyu, she saw that the person in the back seat had already opened the car door and gotten out.

The rain was much heavier now. Jiang Mengyu did not even have an umbrella and just rushed into the rain.

Zhou Xinying quickly got out of the car with an umbrella and chased after her.

She quickly approached Jiang Mengyu, but found that she was standing motionless in front of the pet shop, her red-rimmed eyes staring ahead.

Her gaze had no focus, and her expression was blank and lost.

“No…”

“What?” Zhou Xinying moved a little closer.

“Loose is not here…” Jiang Mengyu murmured.

Zhou Xinying was full of doubts. Who was Loose?

“Loose is not here, and Lanqiu is not here either…”

Jiang Mengyu seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore. She clutched her heart with a pained expression, the despair in her eyes startling Zhou Xinying.

“Jiang Mengyu…”

Before Zhou Xinying could finish her sentence, Jiang Mengyu closed her eyes and fainted.

“Jiang Mengyu!”
