The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 90p1

Chapter 90p1: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (43)

◎”Do you have a little crush on me?”◎

The dark night shrouded the earth, and the heavy rain was pouring down. Although the windshield wipers were working non-stop, Gu Lanqiu still couldn’t see the road ahead clearly.

The car was driving on the winding mountain road. The shadows of the trees outside the window were swaying continuously from the rain, like twisted, eerie ghosts.

There was no music in the car. It was so quiet that Gu Lanqiu could clearly hear the sound of the rain outside. Half of her face was hidden in the dimness, and the lips exposed to the light were inexplicably a sickly pale.

The hand that was on the steering wheel was constantly tightening, so hard that her fingertips had lost their color, but Gu Lanqiu was completely unaware.

The rain showed no sign of slowing down. The closer she got to the villa on the mountainside, the more her emotions surged.

The road ahead was like a giant beast with its mouth open, so dark that it seemed to have no end. The thick darkness was enough to swallow everything.

Gu Lanqiu looked at the splashing raindrops, but what kept appearing in her mind was Jiang Mengyu’s face.

What was she doing now?

…

Jiang Mengyu was sitting on the sofa, watching Jin Xue lick its fur.

The kitten had just barely managed to smooth its fur a little when an evil hand suddenly reached over, gently pushing against its fur, messing up the fur it had just smoothed.

Jiang Mengyu had been playing this game for almost twenty minutes.

Jin Xue was meowing, as if protesting against Jiang Mengyu’s evil deeds, but the person in front of her did not have a single bit of a soft heart. In the end, it could only honestly continue to lick its fur.

She pinched the kitten’s paw. Amidst the meowing sound, Jiang Mengyu looked up at the wall clock. It was almost eleven o’clock.

At this time, Gu Lanqiu should be almost home.

Jiang Mengyu’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.

031 thought she was going to say something, but she suddenly stood up and walked toward the door.

She held the doorknob and pressed down. The door was actually unlocked.

Jiang Mengyu’s expression did not show much surprise. It was clear that she had long expected this.

But 031 was a little surprised. [Host, isn’t Gu Lanqiu afraid that you’ll run away?]

Of course it knew that without transportation, Jiang Mengyu could not run very far.

But wasn’t Gu Lanqiu afraid that Jiang Mengyu would take this opportunity to contact the Zhou family?

Jiang Mengyu did not explain. She walked down the stairs. Just as she found the corner downstairs, she almost bumped into a person.

It was actually Aunt Zhang.

There was not a single trace of familiarity on Jiang Mengyu’s face. She looked at Aunt Zhang coldly, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Aunt Zhang was also very surprised when she saw her, but soon her expression turned to joy, mixed with a hint of worry. “Miss Jiang, why have you come downstairs?”

“Is your body better?”

Jiang Mengyu’s face was faint. She retorted, “I’m a little hungry.”

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then she quickly replied, “Okay, okay.”

Jiang Mengyu got her answer, but she did not immediately turn and leave. Instead, she stared at Aunt Zhang for a few seconds. “Did Gu Lanqiu ask you to come?”

A hint of panic flashed in Aunt Zhang’s eyes. Although she quickly restrained her expression, it was still seen by Jiang Mengyu.

“It wasn’t CEO Gu who asked me to come.”

Aunt Zhang did not know how to explain.

Gu Lanqiu had strictly forbidden them from going up to the third floor, because Jiang Mengyu was not in good health and needed to rest, and could not be disturbed by anyone, but…

Jiang Mengyu saw Aunt Zhang’s hesitation. She knew that Gu Lanqiu probably hadn’t told her the truth. If she had known that she had been forcibly locked up here by Gu Lanqiu, it would have been impossible for her to have this kind of reaction.

Jiang Mengyu glanced upstairs. The place where she had run into Aunt Zhang was already very close to the master bedroom on the third floor. What was Aunt Zhang doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Behind her was empty. Jiang Mengyu had only seen Aunt Zhang on her way here. It should be that Gu Lanqiu had deliberately sent the others away.

Just like the door that had not been locked.

At this thought, Jiang Mengyu asked directly:

“Where is Gu Lanqiu?”

Aunt Zhang’s expression became even more hesitant. “This… CEO Gu hasn’t come back yet.”

She did not know if she should tell Miss Jiang about this matter. After all, it was still something that had not happened. Miss Jiang’s health was already not good. If she were to be stimulated again…

“Miss Jiang, why don’t you…” go back to your room first.

Before Aunt Zhang could finish her sentence, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from downstairs. Jiang Mengyu’s gaze passed over Aunt Zhang’s figure and saw a strong bodyguard in a black suit striding upstairs.

He saw Jiang Mengyu standing at the top of the stairs and seemed to have said something in a low voice.

Jiang Mengyu’s gaze swept over the earpiece he was wearing. Only after the bodyguard had gotten closer did she ask softly, “What’s wrong with Gu Lanqiu?”

She clearly did not look old, but the aura on her body inexplicably made people not dare to lie. The bodyguard’s heart tightened. “CEO Gu has been delayed by some things at the last minute. Please go back to your room and rest first.”

But Jiang Mengyu did not move. “Where is she?”

The bodyguard’s lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

A suppressed silence spread. Jiang Mengyu knitted her brows and looked at the bodyguard, waiting for his answer.

Her face was too cold. Even Aunt Zhang did not dare to easily open her mouth to persuade her.

In the end, perhaps it was because the person on the other end of the earpiece had said something, but the bodyguard gave Jiang Mengyu a deep look, then said in a low voice, “CEO Gu had a car accident on her way back. Her tire slipped and she hit the guardrail on the side of the road.”

Fortunately, the place where the accident had happened was not far from the villa on the mountainside. After Secretary Zhao had learned from Old Liu that Gu Lanqiu had driven away alone, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He could not contact Gu Lanqiu, so he could only call the bodyguard captain in the villa and have him send a few people to meet her.

Hearing this news, Jiang Mengyu’s face became a few shades darker.

A tire slip?

Seeing that she was not speaking, the bodyguard continued, “CEO Gu has already been sent to the hospital now.”

On the surface, Gu Lanqiu did not seem to have been seriously injured, just a cut on her forehead, and she had temporarily fainted.

However, no one could be sure if she had any internal injuries. Only after a careful examination could one feel at ease.

The bodyguard did not say the rest.

Jiang Mengyu’s brows jumped fiercely. Her expression was one that Aunt Zhang had never seen before, heavy.

A deathly silence once again filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, Aunt Zhang finally heard Jiang Mengyu say coldly:

“Take me to see her.”

The bodyguard paused. “This…”

Jiang Mengyu curled her lip. “Gu Lanqiu doesn’t let me see outsiders. Is she also included in the outsiders?”

The bodyguard did not dare to say this. He could only ask Secretary Zhao on the other end, what should he do?

Secretary Zhao had originally wanted to have someone soothe Jiang Mengyu first and talk about it after Gu Lanqiu had woken up. But looking at Jiang Mengyu’s attitude just now, she seemed to have already guessed that Gu Lanqiu had had an accident.

Secretary Zhao could only have the bodyguard tell her the truth.

Anyway, he had already said it. He gritted his teeth. “You arrange for a car and take Miss Jiang to the hospital.”

The heavy rain outside had stopped at some point, leaving only a drizzle as fine as ox hair. Jiang Mengyu bent down and got into the car. Her face was divided into two parts by the light and shadow, and the emotion in her deep, dark eyes was dark and unreadable.

031 sensed that her mood was not very good, so it comforted, [Host, rest assured. The mission target’s vital signs are very stable.]

It should not affect their mission.

Jiang Mengyu did not speak.

Of course she knew that Gu Lanqiu would not die.

Perhaps she should have guessed it long ago. Just like when she had just transmigrated, she had dared to bet with her own life. Gu Lanqiu was naturally the same.

She was even more ruthless than Jiang Mengyu had thought.

It was just that at that time, Jiang Mengyu still had a way out. Even if she had unfortunately died in the car accident, at least there was still the system to protect her soul.

What was Gu Lanqiu relying on?

Was she not afraid of playing with fire and really having an accident?

…

When Jiang Mengyu arrived at the hospital, she saw from a distance that Secretary Zhao was waiting outside the examination room. When he saw her come over, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. “Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Mengyu nodded very slightly, as a response.

She silently sized up Secretary Zhao’s face. Seeing that his expression was serious, a guess immediately appeared in her heart.

At the same time, Secretary Zhao was also observing Jiang Mengyu’s reaction.

Jiang Mengyu’s face was very faint. Secretary Zhao could not see what she was thinking. But she had rushed to the hospital the moment Gu Lanqiu had had an accident. It did not look like she did not care about CEO Gu.

Perhaps CEO Gu could really get what she wanted.

However, no matter what, Secretary Zhao did not agree with Gu Lanqiu’s way of doing things. It was just that now that things had already happened, he could only think like this.

“The examination will still take twenty minutes to finish. Why don’t you go to the rest room and rest for a while?” Secretary Zhao suggested.

Jiang Mengyu did not speak. Secretary Zhao was also not sure what she was thinking. When he met her deep, dark eyes, he subconsciously tensed up.

No one spoke again. The corridor became incomparably quiet. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the examination room slowly opened.

Gu Lanqiu was pushed out from inside. She was lying quietly on the hospital bed, her face as pale as paper, her state visibly sickly and pale.

The injury on her forehead had already been treated.

Jiang Mengyu’s gaze first circled around Gu Lanqiu’s legs, and finally returned to her face.

She only saw Gu Lanqiu knitting her brows, her thin lips moving slightly, as if she had almost inaudibly spat out two extremely blurry words.

As if she were calling her name.

Gu Lanqiu was pushed back to the hospital room. Her injuries were not serious. Besides the cut on her forehead, there was only a slight dislocation of the joint in her left shoulder. It could be considered lucky.

It was just that for some reason, she had not woken up.

Jiang Mengyu followed behind her. Her gaze had not moved from Gu Lanqiu’s body from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhao did not know what to say. The last time he had seen such a scene was when Jiang Mengyu had been injured and hospitalized.

Looking at Jiang Mengyu’s back, Secretary Zhao actually had an absurd, reversed illusion.

He always felt that Gu Lanqiu was becoming more and more like the Jiang Mengyu from the beginning.

And Jiang Mengyu, on the other hand, was becoming more and more like the Gu Lanqiu from the beginning.

Their identities and status seemed to have undergone some kind of reversal.

Secretary Zhao shivered.
