The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 173: This Malicious Supporting Female Character Has Leveled Up!
Chapter 173: Chapter 173: This Malicious Supporting Female Character Has Leveled Up!
The wind blew, and Jiang Nanshu only felt an icy chill on her face.
Lu Qingyan extended his finger to wipe away her tears, asking softly, "Why are you crying?"
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
[Ah, ah, ah, what should I do? Save myself, save myself, save myself...]
She forced out a smile uglier than crying: "Tears of joy..."
"Answer my question, if you like me, then be with me, we can date and then get married."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
[It must be Bai Yueguang pressing him too hard, making him snap back at me...it has to be that way, I, I should struggle a bit more.]
Jiang Nanshu covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking: "Are you serious? I’m so afraid this is just a beautiful dream. Even though I like you, I don’t want to be someone’s substitute. I know I’m not as good as Sister Su Ran, I can’t compare to her, I’m not worthy of you. So, Brother Qingyan, you must think this through. I’m very possessive, I can’t control myself from going crazy if a dog passing by even glances at you. Being with me, you will find it exhausting."
She sneakily looked up at Lu Qingyan, his gaze was calm and silent, just quietly watching her.
Jiang Nanshu turned her gaze to Su Ran, bathed in the moonlight, her face as pure as a lotus fresh out of the water, covered in tears, her eyes shattered as her pupils painfully widened; it was clear she was the one most hurt among the three.
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
[This is too torturous, too torturous, quickly look at her, she’s really breaking apart.]
Jiang Nanshu continued to weep behind her hands: "If you don’t truly like me, don’t make me choose, don’t let Sister Su Ran misunderstand, I’m not worthy."
[Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat, the life of a female antagonist is still a life!]
[What should I do, what should I do, my money, my money! Wuu, how can I get out of this Asura hell? I’m not asking for immense wealth, just to get out of here alive, I want to rush to the dock for some fries to calm my nerves.]
Jiang Nanshu’s heart wailed, she was collapsing.
Lu Qingyan’s voice continued, "You are not anyone’s substitute. I have nothing to do with Su Ran, there’s no misunderstanding, and as for the piano piece, I played it for you, Jiang Nanshu."
"If we can’t be together, I’ll choose to go abroad for further study and won’t come back for three to five years."
Jiang Nanshu looked up in shock, meeting Lu Qingyan’s cool gaze.
[Damn it, what do I do if you leave? I can’t possibly wait for you for three to five years!]
She inexplicably felt like Lu Qingyan was threatening her by talking about leaving the country.
But she had no evidence; except for herself, who else knew she was on a mission.
Between having her mission fail to return to her world and tormenting Lu Qingyan a bit first, she decisively chose the latter.
So with tear-filled eyes, she threw herself into his arms: "I’m willing, as long as I’m with you, I’m willing to do anything."
[For the money! No matter how hard it is to swallow, I have to eat it! I’m all in, I’ll make you realize that being with me is just the beginning of your nightmare, kid.]
Jiang Nanshu clenched her teeth internally, wishing she could swallow Lu Qingyan whole.
If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t get the cubs; she would surely make him despise her.
Lu Qingyan took Jiang Nanshu’s hand, shaking it at Su Ran: "Don’t come bothering me again, I’ve got someone now."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
She sniffled softly, shrinking to the side without daring to speak.
As the wicked female antagonist, she had leveled up!
This plot was never there at all, like the male lead getting together with her, and then she meekly agreeing because of her mission.
As if she had taken a VIP pass.
As they passed by Su Ran, Jiang Nanshu turned her head for a glance.
Su Ran’s once pure eyes became turbid, mixed with resentment towards Jiang Nanshu, flashing by almost too quickly to catch.
Jiang Nanshu walked a bit faster.
Oh my God, instead of the male lead turning dark, it was Su Ran, the tragic female lead of this melodramatic story, who had turned dark.
Truly terrifying.
"Why are you walking away so fast?"
Hearing Lu Qingyan’s voice, Jiang Nanshu’s eyes were filled with a resentful gaze.
"You tell me! Your Bai Yueguang must hate me so much by now, but it’s alright, in the end, you’ll still be hers."
However, she scoffed coldly, "I don’t want Su Ran to see you. I don’t like the way she looks at you. Right now, you’re mine, and you can only have eyes for me."
She quietly sized up Lu Qingyan, her words incredibly dominating and unsettling.
Lu Qingyan looked at her with a half-smile, "Your love is so unique. I can promise not to look at Su Ran, but I can’t promise she won’t look at me."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
"Insane."
"By the way, why did you say earlier that you played that piano piece for me?" Jiang Nanshu seized the key point.
After all, before this, Lu Qingyan did not even know her.
The person he had contact with was the original body.
Could it be that the original body also liked that piece?
And her reason for liking it was because when she was very young, Zhou Yanxu played it for her, softly telling her not to be afraid even in the darkness, that dawn would break and someone would always come to love you.
"Yeah."
Lu Qingyan had looked into Zhou Yanxu and found him to be a very outstanding, gentle, and kind person. Sadly, he had a severe heart condition from birth, spending each day on medication, counting the time by days. In the end, he burned down the villa in the last fire of his life, and perished amidst the flames.
His favorite piece was "Komorebi."
Noticing Jiang Nanshu’s puzzled gaze, his expression unchanged, he said, "I just thought you might like it."
"That’s Zhou Yanxu’s favorite... Well, because he played it, I liked it, too."
Lu Qingyan’s expression stiffened for a moment. Liked it?
Did she once like Zhou Yanxu as a person, or just the music he played?
Jiang Nanshu smiled at him, "I like anything you play."
Pacifying, full of pacification.
Even though she said with a smiling face that she liked his piece, he still saw an almost imperceptible sadness in her eyes.
"Nannan," came Jiang Yunchuan’s voice from behind. "Hey, why are you with Brother Yan?"
The moment they were discovered, Jiang Nanshu instinctively let go of Lu Qingyan’s hand, feeling a bit guilty, her voice growing louder, "Is it so strange for me to be with my fiancé?"
Jiang Yunchuan looked aggrieved, whimpering, feeling inexplicably scolded.
He frowned, "We’ve been looking for you, come on, let’s go home."
"Okay." Jiang Nanshu quickly agreed.
Before getting into the Jiang Family car, she waved at Lu Qingyan, "I’m heading off first. See you later."
"Goodness, finally can take a break, so tired..."
The luxury car drove away.
Lu Qingyan then got into his own car.
He leaned back in the seat, gazing through the windshield at the night sky.
The remnants of Jiang Nanshu’s body heat still lingered in his hands.
But he could not find any clues about any relationship between Zhou Yanxu and Jiang Nanshu. It could be said that from Zhou Yanxu’s birth to his death, there wasn’t a girl named Jiang Nanshu by his side.
Yet strangely, in Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, she indeed had seen Zhou Yanxu, was very familiar with him, and had listened to him play that piece.
This person was fast becoming his main subject of investigation, a pity that he had already passed away...
Lu Qingyan placed the sunflower on the most conspicuous spot on the dashboard.
At least, he was gone.
