13 – The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character of the Aristocratic Family Thirteen
The system thought about it and realized that made sense. “Alright! But host, how did your computer skills become so advanced?”
The system’s question reminded Jiang Huai of when she had just entered the Small World. Because of her stunning looks, she had been tricked into signing a contract with a company to become a celebrity.
In the end, they actually dared to try to pimp her out. After beating up the company’s person in charge, she threatened them to terminate the contract, and she succeeded.
But she never expected those people to spread fabricated scandals about her everywhere, which made her extremely upset.
She spent a week immersed in the library, combined with computer studies to learn hacking skills, and drove that company into bankruptcy while casually clearing her name of the scandals.
Afterward, she continued to expand her knowledge, which is why she can now effortlessly use hacking techniques.
Outside, the night sky was pitch black, with that bright crescent moon hanging high above.
Jiang Huai sent the fake accounts made by Liang Yingyue’s brother, Liang Weinan, to Lin Shangyu, letting them fight among themselves like dogs. These small fry weren’t worth her spending so much time on them.
She replied to the system with a somewhat melancholic tone, “When you’re out in the world, you always need some skills to rely on, right? Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died!”
The system nodded in agreement, then realized the host couldn’t see it and said, “The host is absolutely right!”
At that moment, the door was forcefully kicked open.
“Bang!”
Gu Yunze’s tall and imposing figure rushed in anxiously from outside, his exquisitely handsome face filled with worry and unease.
His deep eyes stared nervously at Jiang Huai. Due to running for a long time, his voice was hoarse and extremely low, “Huai Huai!”
As soon as Jiang Huai looked up, she was pulled into a tight embrace. Her forehead rested against his firm chest, and instantly, her breath was filled with a strong scent of hormones mixed with a faint hint of tobacco.
Gu Yunze sat directly on the computer, and it was uncertain whether it would survive…
“Huai Huai, are you okay?”
At this moment, Gu Yunze felt at ease. Heaven knew that earlier, while he was boxing at the gym, his subordinate informed him that Huai Huai had been hit on the head and was being taken to the hospital. Terrified, he threw on some clothes and rushed over.
Jiang Huai, enveloped in his scorching embrace, felt somewhat uncomfortable and pushed him away, her voice clear and melodious, “Let go of me first, I’m fine!”
Gu Yunze hid his obsessive madness well in his eyes. That soft, delicate body made his throat itch, and his mind and body felt as if electrified. He allowed Jiang Huai to leave his embrace.
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
Jiang Huai’s face flushed slightly, but the coincidences from the past few times made her realize something. Her expression suddenly darkened, her eyes turning cold as she questioned him angrily, “You’ve been stalking me all along?”
Gu Yunze sat on the bed, seeing signs of Huai Huai’s anger, and immediately put on a pitiful expression, lowering his head slightly and speaking in the softest voice possible, “I… I’m sorry, I was just worried about you!”
Seeing him like this, Jiang Huai couldn’t stay angry. Her dark pupils showed a hint of helplessness, “Don’t let it happen again! No more stalking me!”
Gu Yunze smiled triumphantly inside but didn’t show it on his face. Seeing her pale complexion, his voice softened a bit, “Huai Huai, we’re friends, right? Then tell me, who hit you?”
In his mind, he had already thought of countless ways to make the other person suffer worse than death!
Jiang Huai’s shimmering eyes looked at the madness in his gaze and said firmly, “I’ll handle it myself. Don’t you dare interfere.”Gu Yunze caught the faint fragrance in the air, his thoughts slightly muddled, and responded with a “Okay!”
Jiang Huai felt uncomfortable sitting so close to him. She got off the bed, picked up her backpack and suitcase, and said, “I’ve rested enough. Get up!”
Gu Yunze obediently stood up. Jiang Huai retrieved her laptop from where he had been sitting, checked it, and found it undamaged.
Gu Yunze took her backpack and suitcase, his gaze gentle and doting. “I’ll take you. Where to?”
Jiang Huai thought that if she didn’t tell him, he might keep pestering her endlessly. Besides, her bicycle seemed to be left at home anyway. Might as well let him take her.
“To the hotel next to the academy,” she said as she walked out.
Gu Yunze recalled the information he had gathered. That Lin dog was hardly a man, treating his own daughter like this. He glanced at Jiang Huai with a pang of heartache. “Okay!”
As they stepped into the neighboring ward, Liang Yingyue, her forehead bandaged and face pale, happened to open the door. Seeing Jiang Huai, her eyes turned venomous, and she sneered sharply, “Well, well, you dare to throw a cup at me, and now you have the nerve to show your face here? You wild child, born without a mother to teach you manners, how dare you act so arrogantly…”
Jiang Huai gave her a cold glance, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and raised her hand to deliver a forceful slap.
This time, she used a bit of Divine Power, so her hand didn’t hurt from the recoil.
With a loud “smack,” Liang Yingyue’s head tilted slightly to the side. She clutched her stinging cheek in disbelief, her voice venomous and shrill, “You bitch, you’re asking for death!” She raised her hand to strike back.
But Jiang Huai was faster.
Another “smack” landed on the other side, leaving a symmetrical red mark.
Jiang Huai’s forehead was also bandaged, but her eyes were icy cold. “You dared to throw a cup at me. What makes you think I wouldn’t dare? I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and now you call me a wild child? You’re asking for a lesson!”
Liang Yingyue shivered under her gaze, recalling the chilling, sword-like look Jiang Huai had given her when she threw the cup. It made her feel as if she were in hell, trembling all over.
Her voice lost some of its earlier confidence but remained sharp. “Jiang Huai, I’m telling you, if the Lin family’s company collapses, you can go join your mother in the afterlife! I won’t let you off!”
Slapped again and again—it was madness. Wasn’t she usually so timid? Had she been pushed to the brink?
Gu Yunze’s eyes burned with anger, mixed with a hint of heartache. He stepped forward from behind Jiang Huai, his foot tracing a perfect arc as his gaze turned cold and intense. “If you dare, I’ll send you to hell first!”
Liang Yingyue was injured again. His sudden, forceful kick struck her knee, forcing her to kneel on one knee before Jiang Huai. She let out a sharp cry, “Ah!”
Her face twisted in pain as she looked up at the man of extraordinary presence she had overlooked earlier. “Who are you? How dare you hit me! You little bastard, who are you hanging around with? I’ll tell your father!”
Jiang Huai hadn’t expected Gu Yunze to kick Liang Yingyue either. She pulled him back, stopping him from going further.
Hearing Liang Yingyue’s question, she sneered disdainfully. “I don’t have a father. As for the little bastard…”
Jiang Huai bent down gracefully, her dark hair falling beside her face, her expression lazy as she leaned close to Liang Yingyue’s ear and whispered, “I wonder where Wang Xiaochen is now~”Though the voice was as light as a feather, it sent a chill down Liang Yingyue’s spine, making her hair stand on end. She shouted loudly, as if to bolster her own courage, “Get away from me!”
The sound of footsteps echoed—”tap, tap.”
