After Kissing the World-Weary Female Supporting Character [Transmigration] - Chapter 41

“Did you argue with Little Boss Ji? Why are you hiding here all by yourself? Your eyes are about to swell up from crying. Girls should cherish their beauty; it’s our most powerful weapon.”

As He Ya spoke, she reached out, intending to stroke Song Xingzi’s head. Song Xingzi tilted her head to dodge and cursed under her breath, “Bullshit!”

My Little Song Zi never relies on looks; I earn my meals with real skill.

He Ya didn’t catch what Song Xingzi said. “Hmm? Are you shy?”

Song Xingzi frowned. “How did you end up here? You haven’t come to find me for many days since returning after the New Year.”

He Ya’s smile froze: Shoot. Ever since Tang Wen said CEO Li was angry, I’ve been focusing my energy on finding an opportunity and wasted too much time on Gu Zhu, actually neglecting the target of the mission. Does this count as losing the big prize for the sake of the small one?

“Sister wanted to join the fun, but Xingzi is always surrounded by people and doesn’t need me,” He Ya smiled. “Look at this pitiful state. Does your face hurt? What did Little Boss Ji say to you that made you hide here and cry all by yourself?”

Li Yebai? What does this have to do with that scumbag male lead?

Song Xingzi shook her head. “Big Eyes isn’t a bad person at heart. She must have been used by someone. I saw that Sister He Ya was very close to her before.”

“Is Xingzi perhaps suspecting your sister?” He Ya’s gentle and placid smile remained unchanged. The information Tang Wen gave me didn’t say she was this smart. “Why would your sister target you?”

Tang Wen, Li Yebai, He Ya…

“I’m not suspecting, it is you!” Song Xingzi, having heard He Ya’s inner monologue, stood up, looking down at He Ya. A cold and resolute expression, incompatible with her pure and delicate face, appeared.

I remember now. In the original novel, Li Yebai had a mistress who appeared several times, framing the female protagonist repeatedly and mocking the down-on-her-luck female supporting character. So, that person is her? He Ya? But why would she want to ruin my relationship with Ji Ji? She has no motivation at all.

“Why did you instigate Gu Zhu to target me and then come here to pretend to care? What good does this do you?”

“Hahahahaha, does Little Boss Ji know about your cute side? Or do you look like this in front of your sugar daddy too?” He Ya was tickled by Song Xingzi’s serious expression, giggling. She supported herself on the box full of props with one hand, leaning back, and looked directly at Song Xingzi. “She is an influential and cold-blooded businesswoman, and you are a naive little white flower. You two are not suitable, and the lesbian path is not easy. She will definitely abandon you in the end. Why don’t you try to find another way out?”

Song Xingzi was infuriated. “Another way out? Betraying her to join Li Yebai? Are you an idiot? How can a woman—no, how can a person sell themselves out just for money?”

He Ya was surprised. “Li Yebai? Why did you mention him?”

It looks like the conversation has broken down today. Even my foundation has been exposed. This is truly not worth the loss.

“You’re his mistress, ptui, his lover, right?”

“You actually know?”

“Why shouldn’t I know! I also know he’s a shameless scumbag who wanted to threaten my dad and make me sign a mistress contract! Oh, right, do you know why he wants me to sign a mistress contract? Do you know why your scumbag paramour is so obsessed with me?”

He Ya asked knowingly, “Why?” He likes your face, which resembles Liu Bai’s. He just wants to possess someone he failed to get. Men are all like this; the unattainable is always the best. Even after he brings down Ji’s corporation and gets rid of Ji Ruyue as his fiancée…

“Idiot. Do you think you only have Ji Ji as a threat? He wants to take me on as his mistress so he can legitimately get my heart! You know, right? Don’t pretend.” Song Xingzi was practically laughing out of anger at He Ya. She’s still thinking about the scumbag male lead now. Is she a masochist? She’s gotten addicted to being someone’s lover, even throwing away her conscience. “Are you Li Yebai’s dog? Will you do anything for a bone!”

Heart? Why does Li Yebai want Song Xingzi’s heart? Is it for Liu Bai? But what connection do they have? Can Song Xingzi’s heart even be a match for Liu Bai’s?

“Aren’t you also relying on clinging to Ji Ruyue’s leg to thrive in the entertainment industry? She even took care of your father’s illness for you,” He Ya thought, not getting angry. She narrowed her long eyes, and her lips slightly curved into a gentle, half-smiling expression. “In this circle, many people, many times, have to resort to any means to climb up, otherwise they will be swallowed whole, skin and bones. Don’t you know this well, little white flower?”

She actually didn’t know about the heart matter? Didn’t I just say too much? Song Xingzi was startled, and she instinctively retorted when she heard He Ya criticizing her relationship with Ji Ruyue: “I’m different from you. I was never trying to gain anything from Ji Ji. Your so-called resources, exposure, and career path are insignificant to me; I simply don’t care. And even if I wanted to succeed, selling myself is not the only path. Not to mention, you’re helping him do bad things. Can you feel at ease with opportunities gained this way? Can you sleep at night?”

“Hahaha,” He Ya seemed to have heard a hilarious joke, her gentle face beaming with laughter. “Don’t just say nice-sounding things. A dodder flower that can only survive by clinging to others, without independent capital, doesn’t have the right to say things like that, you know. It’s easy to talk big. You need to work hard and prove it to the world—how a woman at the bottom of society can reach the peak of life just by herself.”

“I don’t need to prove it to you, but you will understand that people like you don’t deserve a good ending!” Song Xingzi thought of He Ya’s fate in the novel, frowning as she told her, “That scumbag Li Yebai doesn’t like you at all. Now that you’ve failed again, guess what he will do to you. Those who commit many injustices will inevitably destroy themselves!”

“Then this ‘sister’ will wait and see. When minds don’t meet, few words are needed. Let’s stop here, little white flower. You need to work hard to achieve it.”

He Ya stood up, hands in her pockets, and slowly walked outside.

He never loved me, but how much did I love him? It was just a mutual need. So, I’ve become a discarded pawn. Then I won’t be needing this either.

He Ya took out her phone, slid to the photo album, found the video she had taken earlier, and pressed the delete button.

CEO Li, will you succeed? I’ll wait to see if you become a legend or fall into the dust. But either way, it should no longer concern me.

“I’m so mad! I should have cast a freezing spell on her just now and swelled her face! She’s so annoying! She not only made me get hit but also made me argue with Ji Ji!!!” Song Xingzi stomped her feet back and forth in anger. “Aahhhhhhh! Little Song Zi, why are you so easily led! You’re not clear-headed at all! You should have just shut her up, beaten her up badly, and then talked, instead of listening to her rubbish!”

“But I can’t use magic casually in the mortal world, and I’ve already scolded her so much. She surely wouldn’t dare to cause trouble again.”

“No, no, I’m still so angry, so angry! I have to teach her a lesson! Make her understand that good is repaid with good, and evil with evil!”

Song Xingzi muttered to herself for a while, finally furrowing her brow and making a hand sign for a spell.

Spiritual power is limited, so I’ll save some for now. I’ll give you a month-long bad luck curse. Let you feel the power of retribution first.

She walked out the door and heard a “thump” in the distance. He Ya had tripped on flat ground.

Hehe, serves her right, bad woman, and full of twisted logic! So annoying!

Song Xingzi hummed a little tune happily as she walked toward the makeup room. Then, she suddenly remembered Ji Ruyue’s cold face and the ubiquitous scumbag Li Yebai. Her smile immediately froze, and she looked down, kicking the ground.

Aahhhhhhh, so annoying, so annoying! Scumbag, go die!!! Go die, go die! You better not appear in front of me, or I will definitely teach you a lesson! I’ll burn all your hair, put a hex on you, and make your company go bankrupt!

Song Xingzi clenched her fists, then released them in discouragement.

No, thinking about it still makes me so angry! How should I make Ji Ji realize that the male lead is a scumbag? Ji Ji definitely doesn’t want to talk to me now. Although Ji Ji said some bad things, she… sigh, I wasn’t good either. Ji Ji didn’t know I had spiritual power and could protect myself. So annoying, so annoying. It’s all the fault of the scumbag male lead and He Ya. I might be kicked out.

Song Xingzi squatted by the door in despair, thinking about how to explain things to Ji Ruyue:

“Ji Ji, listen to me! This world is just a novel. You are the female supporting character in it, and Li Yebai is the male lead. He wants to take over your family fortune and take my heart, which is why he found people to sow discord between us. You must not be misled by them.”

…

No, no, that’s too silly. Even a foxtail grass spirit wouldn’t believe that’s the truth, and telling Ji Ji that she’s just a character in a book is too cruel. I’ll try another one.

“Ji Ji, listen to me. I know you said those things just because you care about me, but I’m actually not an ordinary person. I’m a spirit, a kind of spirit that somehow also suddenly awakened mind-reading. I know Gu Zhu is not a bad person, and I wasn’t hurt by the slap, and that scene was part of the script anyway. So…”

Aahhh—even more idiotic! Who tells people they’re a spirit? Not only will Ji Ji not believe it, but it also violates the spirit code! No, no, I have to think again.

“Ji Ji, listen to me! Emotional coldness is the number one killer of a relationship! Even though we just argued because of different values, we can’t let the problem go unchecked and the misunderstanding fester. I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have imposed my superficial impression of you onto you. That was prejudice, and I was wrong! I didn’t think about how you were feeling. If Ji Ji were hit, I would definitely be very, very angry too! So, Ji Ji, don’t be angry with Little Song Zi anymore. You are the person Little Song Zi likes the most.”

…

No, that’s too sappy, and it makes me look so stupid. Ji Ji hasn’t even said she likes me. I stick to her every day. Maybe she hates me to death but is too embarrassed to say so. This time is her chance, and she can finally get rid of me. So annoying. I should just pin her down and be done with it.

“Boo hoo hoo, being a human is so hard. I don’t want to be a human anymore.”

Song Xingzi let out a cry of despair, hanging her head like a weak kitten ravaged by life.

“Why aren’t you coming in? Are you still mad at me?”
