Chapter 75p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (28)

This sleep seemed to have lasted for a very, very long time.

Jiang Mengyu slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that came into view was the chandelier on the ceiling.

It should be daytime now. The bright light shone in from outside the window, making Jiang Mengyu’s vision a little white. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

Aunt Zhang was right. There was indeed sun today.

Jiang Mengyu lifted her fingers. Before she could make a move, she felt a strong gaze on her.

She slowly turned her head and saw a person sitting by the bed, staring at her without blinking. The other party’s gaze was dark and gloomy, and her eye sockets were slightly red. Her gaze at her seemed to be deeply hidden with some kind of emotion.

It was Gu Lanqiu.

Jiang Mengyu paused. She shook her head, then propped herself up and sat up.

This was the sixth hour after the hypnosis had ended. How long Jiang Mengyu had slept, Gu Lanqiu had been watching over her by the bed for that long.

Professor Markel had said that the hypnosis was very successful. If nothing unexpected happened, when Jiang Mengyu woke up again, Gu Lanqiu would be able to get the result she wanted.

Gu Lanqiu had waited for a very, very long time.

She looked at Jiang Mengyu without moving, her mind as if she had thought of many things, and also as if she had not thought of anything.

The little things of her time with Jiang Mengyu appeared in her mind one by one. Gu Lanqiu finally recalled that last night, before Jiang Mengyu had fallen asleep, she had asked her in a small voice if she could read her a bedtime story.

At that time, she had refused.

But it didn’t matter. After Jiang Mengyu woke up, she could read her a bedtime story every day.

As long as Jiang Mengyu wanted to listen, she would satisfy her.

Gu Lanqiu forcefully suppressed the panic in her heart and did not think about the “older sister” that Jiang Mengyu had called out.

Perhaps she had really misheard.

Time seemed to have been infinitely stretched. Every second was as long as a year.

Gu Lanqiu did not know how long she had waited. It wasn’t until the sky outside had gradually turned white and the sun was hanging high in the sky, the warm sunlight shining into the room, that it was a warm and sunny day.

In this gentle and warm color, Jiang Mengyu’s long lashes finally trembled. Her eyelids slowly lifted, revealing the pair of dark, gem-like eyes that Gu Lanqiu had praised.

Gu Lanqiu had never been so nervous before.

Her breathing had almost stopped, and the sound in her ear was instantly sucked into a vacuum, leaving only a buzzing sound.

Her field of vision could no longer accommodate anything else, only Jiang Mengyu’s bewitching face, which was tinged with a hint of weakness.

Gu Lanqiu looked forward to seeing what she wanted in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes.

She stared at Jiang Mengyu without blinking, until Jiang Mengyu discovered her and met her gaze.

Gu Lanqiu subconsciously held her breath. She carefully searched Jiang Mengyu’s face, trying to find a hint of joy and excitement.

But the way Jiang Mengyu looked at her was calm from beginning to end, so calm that it even had a hint of confusion.

No, it shouldn’t be like this.

Gu Lanqiu’s heart suddenly sank.

She pinched her palm. Looking at Jiang Mengyu sitting up, the person on the bed was slightly frowning, her gaze at her cold and distant, her tone even more of a complete stranger. “CEO Gu?”

Gu Lanqiu’s tense nerves suddenly collapsed. She did not realize how hoarse her voice was, and the light in her eyes was almost annihilated. “What did you call me?”

Jiang Mengyu was not infected by Gu Lanqiu’s emotions at all. She nodded, her dark eyes still a piece of calm. “CEO Gu?”

“Why are you here?”

She still remembered who she was, but she had called her with such a distant and cold address. Gu Lanqiu did not know what kind of expression to show.

Her whole body was stiff, as if she had been petrified. She had no feeling for a long time.

It wasn’t until Jiang Mengyu frowned and asked doubtfully, “You are…”

Only then did Gu Lanqiu realize that she was actually crying.

The room was too bright, and all of her pathetic state was exposed.

The surprise in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes, and her probing gaze at her, were all like the sharpest blades, constantly tearing at Gu Lanqiu’s heart.

Jiang Mengyu only saw Gu Lanqiu’s lips tremble, but she did not make a sound. She lowered her eyes and asked again, “CEO Gu, you said…”

What?

Before she could finish her sentence, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her.

Her neck tightened. It was Gu Lanqiu who had forcefully grabbed her collar. Jiang Mengyu’s body was also forced to lean against the head of the bed because of this force.

She instantly reacted, her face cold as if she wanted to resist. But in the end, as if thinking of something, she slowly lowered her arm.

The face that was close at hand was still deep and moving, but her eyes were abnormally red, the emotion in them on the verge of shattering. “Jiang Mengyu…”

Jiang Mengyu took a deep breath. “CEO Gu…”

Gu Lanqiu suddenly interrupted her. “Don’t call me that!”

Her tone was fierce, but her voice was trembling.

Jiang Mengyu pursed her lips, as if she had been intimidated.

But soon she said coldly, “Then what should I call you?”

“I’ve already broken up with Xu Zeyan. I probably can’t call you ‘aunt’ like him anymore.”

“Besides,” Jiang Mengyu paused. “You probably don’t think much of me, right?”

Her every sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Lanqiu’s ears with a buzzing sound, and even her heart was filled with a dense, dull pain.

Gu Lanqiu did not believe it.

“You really… don’t remember?”

She tried to find a trace of pretense in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes.

Was it that Jiang Mengyu knew what she had done to her, and she was angry, so she was deliberately retaliating against her?

Jiang Mengyu retorted, “Should I remember something?”

Her eyes were open and honest, and her bright eyes clearly reflected Gu Lanqiu’s haggard appearance at this moment.

Gu Lanqiu held Jiang Mengyu’s collar tightly, so hard that her fingertips turned white. But she seemed not to feel the pain and still stared at Jiang Mengyu, unwilling to give up.

Crystal-clear teardrops unconsciously fell, dripping on Jiang Mengyu’s body, wetting a small patch of her clothes.

Every time she had seen Gu Lanqiu cry before, Jiang Mengyu would have couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. But at this moment, her face was still calm, and she even showed a look of discomfort because her collar was being held by Gu Lanqiu.

Jiang Mengyu ignored Gu Lanqiu’s tears. “You should let go first.”

Her tone was seemingly respectful, but it was deeply hidden with displeasure.

This was what Gu Lanqiu had loved to say before.

She was always strong, commanding Jiang Mengyu, “Let go.”

Gu Lanqiu had never felt that there was anything wrong with it. But now, hearing the same words from Jiang Mengyu’s mouth, she found it unbearable.

Was Jiang Mengyu disgusted with her?

“Yuyu,” Gu Lanqiu changed her address, her eyes still with a hint of an imperceptible anticipation. “Don’t scare me…”

“CEO Gu,” Jiang Mengyu’s brows furrowed slightly. “Are you calling me?”

Seeing that Gu Lanqiu was not speaking with her red eyes, Jiang Mengyu continued, “I am not called Yuyu.”

“Besides.”

“Our relationship doesn’t seem to be close enough to address each other like this.”

Her face was so faint, as if she didn’t know at all, and didn’t care how much damage her words had brought to Gu Lanqiu.

This nickname was also given to her by Gu Lanqiu.

But now Jiang Mengyu had completely denied this form of address, just like she had denied the relationship between her and Gu Lanqiu.

Gu Lanqiu could no longer maintain her reason and clarity.

“Our relationship?”

Gu Lanqiu let go of Jiang Mengyu’s collar and instead pinched her chin, gesturing for her to see where this was. “You are lying in my room, on my bed. What do you think our relationship is?”

The next moment, Jiang Mengyu grabbed Gu Lanqiu’s wrist and forcefully pulled her hand away.

Before, she had not resisted because Gu Lanqiu’s actions had not been too excessive.

It did not mean that she could tolerate Gu Lanqiu’s offense again and again.

Gu Lanqiu looked at her hand that had been thrown away, her face in a daze for a second.

Jiang Mengyu had taken advantage of this opportunity to see the surrounding environment clearly.

This was indeed not a place she was familiar with.

Her gaze fell on Gu Lanqiu again. A hint of suspicion appeared in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. “Why am I here?”

As she spoke, she held her head and shook it, as if she couldn’t remember what had happened before she had fainted.

Gu Lanqiu’s voice was hoarse. “What do you think?”

Jiang Mengyu seemed to be trying hard to remember. After a long while, she said softly, “I only remember that I proposed to break off the engagement with Xu Zeyan…”

At this point, Jiang Mengyu’s voice paused. “Is it because I beat him up that you plan to get even for him?”

She even remembered that she had beaten Xu Zeyan.

Being suspected by her like this, Gu Lanqiu seemed to have been in so much pain that she was numb. “And then?”

She asked Jiang Mengyu with the last bit of hope, “You don’t remember what happened after that?”

“After that…” Jiang Mengyu held her head, a look of confusion on her face. “Was there anything else after that?”

The electrocardiogram monitor let out a beeping sound.

Professor Markel had reminded Gu Lanqiu to try not to let Jiang Mengyu recall the forgotten part of her memory, as that might cause her consciousness to become completely chaotic.

When Gu Lanqiu had first heard these words, she had only found it ridiculous.

At that time, she was thinking, how could she take the initiative to let Jiang Mengyu recall that person again?

She had not thought that the one who had been forgotten by Jiang Mengyu also included herself.

Professor Markel had said that the hypnosis was very successful, hadn’t he?

Why had Jiang Mengyu forgotten her along with it?

The person in front of her was still familiar, but the way she looked at her was so strange, no longer as warm as before.

A hint of regret finally rose in Gu Lanqiu’s heart.

She was unwilling to think about it, but that thought kept stubbornly echoing in her mind.

Perhaps what she had had before was actually more than she had thought. Jiang Mengyu’s heart was already being gradually occupied by her now, but she had still thought that Jiang Mengyu cared more about her in her previous life.

She might have been just a little bit away from completely having Jiang Mengyu’s love.

The “older sister” that Jiang Mengyu had called out in a daze had become a nightmare that Gu Lanqiu could not get rid of.

Gu Lanqiu let go of her hand in despair.

Jiang Mengyu couldn’t remember, so she simply gave up. “CEO Gu, I admit that I was wrong to have beaten Xu Zeyan. I can apologize to him.”

“But I must break off this engagement.”

“Why?” Gu Lanqiu’s voice was as soft as a mosquito.

“What?” Jiang Mengyu didn’t hear clearly.

Gu Lanqiu’s face was bloodless. “Why do you want to break off the engagement?”

Jiang Mengyu seemed to be stunned by her question.

Gu Lanqiu only saw Jiang Mengyu show a thoughtful expression.

She also seemed not to understand why she wanted to break off the engagement.

She really didn’t remember anything.

She didn’t remember the experiences of her previous life, nor the entanglements with her. All the feelings related to Gu Lanqiu in her mind had disappeared, leaving only some scattered, indifferent fragments.

Jiang Mengyu gave up on recalling and said casually, “Because he was two-timing.”

She still remembered Zhou Xinying.

This showed that Zhou Xinying was also not important in her heart.

Gu Lanqiu didn’t know if she should cry or laugh.

“You don’t like Xu Zeyan.”

Isn’t this obvious?

Jiang Mengyu did not deny it.

“Then who do you like?” Gu Lanqiu’s breathing was very shallow, and her heart felt as if there was a big empty hole. “…Is it Zhou Xinying?”

Jiang Mengyu noticed that before Gu Lanqiu had said Zhou Xinying, her mouth shape was clearly not like this. Perhaps what she really wanted to ask was not Zhou Xinying.

She lowered her eyelids, her tone light and airy.

“I don’t know why you would think so.”

“Zhou Xinying is my stepsister, and she also wanted to steal my man.”

“How could I possibly like her?”

Gu Lanqiu’s slow heartbeat accelerated again. The faint red that had appeared at the corners of her eyes from her emotional excitement had not yet faded. The faint moisture in her eyes carried a hint of pity and fragility.

“Then you…”

Before this question was finished, it was interrupted by Jiang Mengyu’s next words.

“Besides, I don’t like women.”

Jiang Mengyu’s expression was indifferent.

“And I especially don’t like stupid women who only cry.”
