Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 51
Chapter 51: Yin Xiangyu
Jiang Yumian was so shocked that she didn’t dare to breathe. She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she finally took a deep breath, squeezed her arm. It wasn’t numb anymore, but the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable her arm felt.
Could it be because she was too aggressive yesterday?
And that scared Jing Xiaoyan away?
But she didn’t feel anything! Nothing at all!
She completely forgot what happened after she tackled Jing Xiaoyan!
What did Jing Xiaoyan look like after being tackled by her?
Jiang Yumian imagined the scene for a long time, and her face grew redder and redder. After sobering up, she quickly coughed. What was she thinking? Really…
She lingered for a while, and finally, bravely, she sent a message to Jing Xiaoyan.
Mianmian: “Are you… uncomfortable?”
After sending the message, Jiang Yumian quickly covered her face. Oh dear…
She was really going crazy!
Jing Xiaoyan replied quickly.
Little Jing Dog: “It hurts. It still hurts now.”
Jiang Yumian bit her lip, scratching her hair casually. What should she do? What should she do?!
She actually acted on impulse while drunk and slept with Jing Xiaoyan!
Jiang Yumian took a deep breath. Since things had reached this point, there was no point in running away.
Mianmian: “How are you? Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for you.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyelid twitched. What did she mean? She was only bitten once. Why did it sound like she had been slept with?
This misunderstanding seems to have gotten even bigger…
Little Jing Dog: “There’s no need for that. You didn’t do anything to me. You just bit me.”
Jiang Yumian sighed. There was no need for Jing Xiaoyan to think of her feelings at this moment. Since the deed was done, she should just admit it.
Mianmian: “I know what I did. My arm still feels uncomfortable now. You don’t have to cover for me.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s face was full of black lines. She suddenly wanted to beat her. She knew nothing!
Thinking that a few words wouldn’t clear up the confusion, she simply called Jiang Yumian.
The call was immediately answered.
Jiang Yumian’s guilty voice quickly came through the phone. “Hello, hello…”
Jing Xiaoyan chuckled exasperatedly, her eyes flickering. She suddenly teased her. “Mianmian, how do you plan to take responsibility?”
Her tone didn’t sound angry or wronged, but Jiang Yumian still slumped her head, weakly saying, “I’m sorry…”
Jing Xiaoyan tilted her head, suppressing her laughter. “Hmm?”
Jiang Yumian scratched her head, then blurted out in one breath, “I, I will take responsibility for you. We can get married, as long as you, as long as you are willing.”
Her voice got softer and softer, afraid the person on the other end wouldn’t be satisfied, so she added another line, “I’m sorry…”
Jing Xiaoyan finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Mianmian, I didn’t expect you to have already thought about marriage. I suddenly regret not staying yesterday.”
Hearing her laughter, the anxiety in Jiang Yumian’s heart eased a bit. She suddenly felt a little awkward again, picking and scraping at the quilt with her fingers.
Jing Xiaoyan’s laugh was clear. She used a gentle voice to explain to her, “You really just bit me once. If you feel guilty, just treat me to a meal.”
Jiang Yumian pinched her arm, not quite believing it. “Did we really not… sleep together?”
“Mmm. Why? Do you sound a little regretful?” Jing Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing her. “How about I come back now to satisfy you?”
Jiang Yumian was so startled she almost choked on her own saliva.
“It’s good that we didn’t. Didn’t… Um, you, you, go back to your business.”
She hung up the phone in a fluster, then tossed her phone far away.
Jiang Yumian scratched her head with both hands. She was so embarrassed!
After calming down, she looked at her right hand. She suddenly felt that it didn’t hurt anymore. This damn self-psychological suggestion…
Little Jing Dog: “Because I didn’t want to lie to you, I missed a chance to marry you directly. I’m very sad. Think about how to comfort me.”
Jiang Yumian stared blankly at her phone. After staring for a few seconds, she covered her face. Too embarrassing, too embarrassing.
Mianmian: “I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Little Jing Dog: “No way. Biting me already owes me one meal. Treating me to a meal now won’t comfort me.”
Mianmian: “Then you say what you want.”
Little Jing Dog: “You called me ‘Sister’ last night. I really liked it. I want to hear it again…”
The hint was obvious enough, but Jiang Yumian was a little confused. When did she call her that? Didn’t she only call her ‘dog thing’?
She still remembered Jing Xiaoyan questioning her about it.
Forget it. It’s just calling her ‘Sister,’ it’s not like she hasn’t done it before. She called her that every day on the other account.
Jiang Yumian pinched her cheek, cleared her throat, and after two seconds of brewing, she pressed the voice message button. “Jiejie (Sister).”
After speaking, her face felt hot. She didn’t dare to play it back herself and quickly sent a message.
Mianmian: “It’s too late. I need to get up. I’m not talking to you anymore.”
She immediately switched accounts after sending it. The anxiety in her heart didn’t subside, because she had to face another “Sister.”
Looking at the angry messages she had sent, Jiang Yumian covered her face again. She was truly so embarrassing!
Sea Cotton has Baby: “Sister, I hope I didn’t scare you. It was indeed a misunderstanding on my part.”
Surname Jing: “I was a little scared. I forgot to ask, are you okay?”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “I’m fine…”
Surname Jing: “That’s good. You must have drunk a lot yesterday. Does your head hurt now?”
If she didn’t mention it, it was fine. But the moment she did, Jiang Yumian clutched her head. Her head hurt. She must have drunk herself silly, making her unable to think rationally.
Sea Cotton has Baby: “It hurts, it hurts so much. I need to get up. I have to go back today.”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “It’s all Jing Xiaoyan’s fault. Why did she run away for no reason? It made me misunderstand. I don’t know what she’s busy with all day.”
Surname Jing: “Right. It’s all her fault for not staying.”
Jiang Yumian pouted. Why the passive-aggressiveness? She could do that too.
Sea Cotton has Baby: “Sister, don’t be jealous. She clearly isn’t capable. It would be useless even if she stayed.”
Surname Jing: “Oh? You figured that out too?”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “Isn’t it obvious?”
Jiang Yumian held her phone and laughed. Teasing Jing Xiaoyan was so much fun. Anger her! Anger her to death!
By the time she finished getting ready and returned home, it was already two or three in the afternoon. She thought about it and decided not to go back to the company. She had the driver take her home. Drinking too much had made her feel very uncomfortable. She decided to work tomorrow instead.
“You’re back?” Jiang Yuyu was playing with Jiang Xiaoyan in the living room.
Seeing her mother home at this time surprised her.
“Mom, why aren’t you at the company?”
Jiang Yumian squatted down and patted Jiang Xiaoyan, who had run over to play with her, unable to hold back a smile.
Her mother glanced at Jiang Yumian playing with the dog, saying casually, “Why do you keep asking that? I don’t have to be at the company every day now.”
Jiang Yumian looked up, saying perfunctorily, “Oh, you’re living the high life then.”
Only she was miserable. She was a poor, hard-working child, busy seven days a week.
Her mother glared at her angrily. “Your youngest aunt is returning tomorrow. I need to pick her up at the airport. Coincidentally, a friend is inviting me to dinner near the airport, so I’m going straight there tonight and won’t be home.”
“You’re picking her up?” Jiang Yumian was confused. After thinking, she felt it wasn’t a big deal. “How about I go with you? I don’t have anything going on tomorrow anyway.”
Her mother sighed deeply. “I can go alone. She arrives late at night tomorrow. You’ll be on your way to film the show by then.”
Besides, she didn’t know what to say yet. She’d better try to gauge her sister’s attitude first.
Thinking of this, she sighed again. She was so tired.
Jiang Yumian didn’t understand. “Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you sighing again?”
Her mother: “Honestly, let’s switch lives in the next life. You be my mother.”
Jiang Yumian: “…”
Her mother was too lazy to talk to her anymore. She pointed to the kitchen. “I heard you drank a lot yesterday. I had the auntie make you something light. Go eat it yourself.”
Jiang Yumian pouted. “I didn’t want to drink. It’s mainly because they were too enthusiastic, and they were all girls. It was hard for me to refuse.”
“What do you mean it’s hard to refuse because they’re all girls?” Hearing her words, her mother couldn’t help but laugh, then looked at her with disgust as she understood. “Next time, if you find it hard to refuse, I’ll call Xiaoyan over. Let’s see if you refuse when she’s by your side.”
Jiang Yumian forced a smile.
No matter what her mother talked about with her now, it always led back to Jing Xiaoyan. It used to be praising Jing Xiaoyan; now it was using Jing Xiaoyan to tease her.
“What does that have to do with her…”
On a boring Friday, Jiang Yumian was originally sitting idly in her office, but the secretary at the front desk suddenly knocked on the door and told her someone had sent her flowers.
Jiang Yumian was a little confused. Flowers? And for her?
Sent by Jing Xiaoyan?
Hmm… there shouldn’t be anyone else besides Jing Xiaoyan.
She asked the secretary to bring the flowers into the office first. It was a bouquet of white ‘Snow Mountain’ roses.
She took a photo with her phone but wasn’t in a hurry to send it to Jing Xiaoyan because she saw the small card inside.
“I hope Miss Jiang can give me a chance — Yin Xiangyu”
It was a very direct sentence. Her contact information, a phone number, was on the back of the card.
Jiang Yumian frowned. She had seen this person at the gala. She had drunk a toast from her. She was also the first one to say she was interested in her, so she remembered her.
And it was from her that more and more people boldly approached her afterward.
Jiang Yumian looked at the flowers, deep in thought for a long time. Finally, using the office landline, she dialed the number on the card.
The call was quickly answered on the other end.
Jiang Yumian asked directly, “Yin Xiangyu?”
Yin Xiangyu was a little surprised. “You… Jiang Yumian?”
She reacted quickly. “It seems you received the flowers.”
Jiang Yumian spoke in a low voice. “Thank you for the flowers, but I apologize.”
The other side was clearly stunned for a moment. She had thought Jiang Yumian calling her meant she had a chance, but she quickly understood. She didn’t even use her own phone to call. What chance was there?
Yin Xiangyu chuckled softly. “It’s alright. I was already prepared to be rejected.”
She paused, then continued, “But can you give me a chance to pursue you? I was very happy to know that you like girls. I genuinely like you. It’s a liking without any other motives.” Just like the white ‘Snow Mountain’ roses she sent. It was a very pure liking.
Jiang Yumian was a little surprised. The eyes of those people on Wednesday night looked exactly like Director Wu’s eyes on her that day. She didn’t believe they genuinely liked her. They might as well be more direct and say they liked her family’s power and money.
She was silent for a few seconds, genuinely not knowing how to reply.
“Um… I don’t think I’ve met you before. How did you…”
She stopped halfway. She hadn’t met Jing Xiaoyan before either, but Jing Xiaoyan also said she liked her. Thinking of this, she, who hadn’t really believed Yin Xiangyu, suddenly started to believe her a little.
Yin Xiangyu sighed softly. “We met in college. I was one year ahead of you. I was in the student union at the time, and I saw you many times, but then you entered the entertainment industry… you were very busy.”
Hearing her low tone, Jiang Yumian slowly blinked, searching her memory for Yin Xiangyu’s face, but she had absolutely no recollection.
In the end, she could only shake her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t remember.”
Yin Xiangyu said, “It’s alright. It’s normal for you not to remember me. I was surprised and happy to know you like girls. No matter what, I don’t want to miss the chance to pursue you.”
Jiang Yumian swallowed. “I want to ask, how did you all know that I like girls?”
Yin Xiangyu pursed her lips, finding it strange. “Didn’t you know? It was your mother who revealed the news to the public.”
Jiang Yumian: !
The one who leaked the information was actually her mother!
“Alright, thank you for telling me.” Jiang Yumian covered her face with her hand, then continued, “But I’m very sorry, I don’t like you. I have a girlfriend.”
It was a decisive refusal.
The person on the other end sighed, said “Okay,” and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Yumian looked at her phone, couldn’t help but think of Jing Xiaoyan. She had also rejected her like this initially.
What did she say back then?
She said she would respect her and not cross the line.
Now, looking back, it was all nonsense. She actually used Jing Xiaoyan being her girlfriend to reject Jing Xiaoyan at the time.
Was she crazy?!
Jiang Yumian huffed and puffed, opened WeChat, and found her sugar mommy sister.
Sea Cotton has Baby: “Sister, a girl just sent me flowers. She was at the gala that night. She’s very nice, just like Jing Xiaoyan used to be, very polite to me, and very gentle when speaking.”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “She said she went to the same school as me. She’s also very beautiful and asked me to give her a chance. Although I refused, Sister, I think she’s quite good too. Her voice is nice.”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “She’s not worse than Jing Xiaoyan.”
Although Jiang Yumian intentionally sent this to anger Jing Xiaoyan, what she said was also true. She didn’t know Yin Xiangyu very well, but they hadn’t spent time together yet. How could it be impossible for something to develop?
Surname Jing: “Who?”
Surname Jing: “Never mind, it’s your privacy. You don’t have to tell me.”
Sea Cotton has Baby: “Oh, then I won’t say.”
Surname Jing: “You must be finishing work soon. Get ready to go film the show.”
Jiang Yumian’s eyelid twitched when she saw this. She suddenly felt very guilty. Remembering Jing Xiaoyan’s terrifying possessiveness, which was so strong that she even targeted Lin Xi, she was a little scared.
Especially that last message. Did Jing Xiaoyan mean for her to pack up and go over there to get beaten?
