6 – The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character of the Aristocratic Family Six
Leng Huiyan saw his girlfriend being bullied and stepped forward, wrapping his arm around her shoulders as he glared coldly at Jiang Huai.
He didn’t spare her any pity despite Jiang Huai’s beauty – this male lead was performing his role quite adequately.
Jiang Huai timidly shrunk her neck, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with a trace of disappointment. Her voice was tender and delicate, extremely soft,
“Little sister, let’s not dwell on this matter anymore. Anyway, I don’t like your boyfriend at all, and I hope you won’t spread rumors everywhere in the future, okay? Can we just let this matter pass?”
Her almost pleading tone made Lin Xiaoxiao and Leng Huiyan appear even more aggressive.
Without giving her a chance to respond, Jiang Huai covered her face with one hand and ran out of Night Charm.
Men along the way still watched her slender retreating figure with stunned, infatuated gazes as she exited.
Lin Xiaoxiao slightly clenched her fingers, having no choice but to explain to her friends and classmates behind her, “Don’t believe what she said – she loves acting.”
However, Lin Xiaoxiao’s friends all believed what that girl had said was true. After all, such grievance seemed too genuine, making them feel as if they could relate and nearly moved to tears.
Lin Xiaoxiao nudged Leng Huiyan, her voice regaining composure with a touch of gentleness, “It’s quite late now. I’ll have Huiyan arrange cars to take you back to school. See you at school tomorrow.”
“Alright then!”
“Thank you for your hospitality tonight, bringing us to such a luxurious place!”
“May you two be together forever. Let’s go wait for the cars outside,” a ponytailed girl said to the girl beside her.
“Okay, thank you!”
Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely displeased inside. That bitch had ruined her reputation. Hmph, just wait until she got her mother to deal with Jiang Huai.
Gu Yunze sat in the luxurious glass room on the second floor wearing a black shirt, his view expansive. Looking down, he had clearly witnessed the entire scene just now.
His perfect jawline tilted slightly as he chuckled softly, fragmented laughter escaping his throat with an inexplicable sensuality.
He really wanted to know what that pink, tender little mouth had been saying.
When Jiang Huai reached outside, the evening breeze gently brushed past as she reached up to tidy her slightly disheveled hair.
She wondered how her performance had been just now – she should have successfully made the female lead stomp with anger!
So much fun!
She took a taxi home. It was already almost midnight, and the house was completely dark with no lights left on for her.
She didn’t mind, returning to her room to wash up before going to sleep.
When Gu Yunze returned to his villa at Yujing Garden, he immediately received information about that girl from his assistant.
The eldest daughter of Lin’s Pharmaceutical, Beijing’s billion-dollar conglomerate, named Jiang Huai. Disliked by her father, her mother was formerly the only daughter of the Jiang family, which had now declined. Quite a pitiful background.
According to this profile, Jiang Huai was a silent, reticent girl isolated by classmates and friends, usually without any social life.
Gu Yunze found this somewhat strange – it didn’t match the girl who had talked back to him today at all.
Interesting.
However, when he saw the information stating she was to marry Leng Junyan in three days, Gu Yunze’s originally playful expression instantly darkened. His eyes turned pitch black like ink, sinister and terrifying, with a trace of domineering possessiveness deep within.
How could someone he had taken a liking to marry someone else?
Leng Junyan!
Very well!
Reading further that there were rumors Jiang Huai liked Leng Huiyan, endless ferocity emanated from the depths of his eyes.
As things stood now…Better deal with that blind Leng family youngest son first—the one who dared to eye the person he’s interested in!
How could a man who parties night after day ever be worthy of that girl.
As for the Leng family’s eldest son—heh, you have to cut off a person’s wings when they’re at their most triumphant. That’s when the fall hits hardest, isn’t it?
Otherwise, how could his adoptive father rest in peace.
…
Early the next morning.
Jiang Huai woke naturally at six, washed up, put on the original owner’s white T-shirt and light blue jeans, left her fair face free of makeup, smoothed her dark long hair, and left her room.
Going downstairs, she saw the three of them intimately having breakfast together.
The original owner would have been heartbroken seeing this, but she wasn’t.
Liang Yingyue wore loungewear with light makeup. Having learned about what happened at her daughter’s gathering last night, her hatred for Jiang Huai had deepened another layer. But with Lin Shangyu present, she still greeted Jiang Huai as if nothing was wrong.
“Huai Huai, why aren’t you leaving early for school today? You usually go so early. I thought… so I didn’t prepare a portion for you. So sorry…”
Lin Shangyu said coldly, “Isn’t she capable? Didn’t she say she has money? If she’s so capable, she shouldn’t even come home—she should just live outside!”
Lin Xiaoxiao loved acting especially close to Lin Shangyu in front of Jiang Huai. Seeing Jiang Huai’s dim, sorrowful expression made her happy. She pushed the steak she’d cut toward Lin Shangyu.
“Dad, don’t say that. Sister will be sad. Here, have this steak—I specially made it for you this morning!”
Jiang Huai didn’t need to maintain any persona and had no desire to bicker with them. She ignored them outright, striding purposefully out the main door.
A servant cleaning nearby didn’t dare make a sound.
Lin Shangyu was so angry his hair seemed to stand on end.
“How did I end up with a daughter like this? Won’t even call me ‘Dad’! Before, even though she was quiet, at least she called me Dad! Now she acts like she’s above everyone!”
Looking at his lovely wife and delicate daughter on either side, his anger subsided a bit.
“At least our Xiaoxiao is obedient and filial.”
“Sister is filial too—she just doesn’t know how to show it. Don’t be angry, Dad!”
“Hmph, forget about her! She always infuriates me! Better she marries out soon, so she stops being an eyesore here!”
Liang Yingyue and Lin Xiaoxiao exchanged a knowing glance in a corner where Lin Shangyu couldn’t see.
It was now seven. Jiang Huai rode her bicycle leisurely back to school—no hurry, since her first class wasn’t until nine.
Morning sunlight bathed the earth. A stunningly beautiful woman with flowing long hair cycled along the tree-shaded path.
Gu Yunze had looked into Jiang Huai’s schedule and knew she usually left for school around six something each morning, living close enough not to dorm.
He’d been waiting behind the Lin family villa gate early. He hadn’t slept well all night—that girl kept occupying his thoughts. He didn’t understand why he’d become so fixated after just one meeting.
Finally, he saw her emerge.
Gu Yunze’s tall, slender frame lounged lazily against the car seat as he instructed the driver to proceed. The understated yet luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up beside Jiang Huai.He rolled down the car window, revealing a meticulously groomed and even more handsome perfect profile. The white shirt accentuated his refined elegance as his thin, rosy lips parted slightly. “Huai Huai, why don’t I give you a ride to school?”
Jiang Huai sat astride his bicycle, his exquisitely featured face expressionless as he glanced at him.
