Help! Please Take the Heroine Away [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 6

Zhou Yanfeng stormed in with a look of disgust, his strikingly handsome face filled with fury, as though he were staring at the murderer of his father.

As the pampered young lady of the family, Xie Mingyao had never been spoken to in such a tone before. Her expression darkened, but since the one barging in was her beloved fiancé, she suppressed her anger in an instant.

“Yanfeng, what brings you here?” Xie Mingyao jumped off the bed and eagerly stepped forward, reaching out to take Zhou Yanfeng’s arm.

Zhou Yanfeng, his face stormy, shoved her away and glanced at Ye Qingyu, who was rising from a half-kneeling position. He glared fiercely at Xie Mingyao. “What were you doing just now?”

Xie Mingyao bit her lower lip, her eyes reddening slightly with grievance. “Yanfeng, you’re my fiancé. Why do you always care about her and speak up for her? What could I possibly do to her?”

“Xie Mingyao, I used to think you were just spoiled and willful, but I never imagined you could be so cruel. Not only did you bully someone into the hospital, but you also made them kneel to put shoes on for you. This is the 21st century, not ancient times. If you want a maid, go find one outside!” Zhou Yanfeng’s voice was icy, laced with barely restrained rage.

Xie Mingyao was utterly stunned. She stared in disbelief at her beloved fiancé, the man who had always been so tolerant and gentle with her now looking at her with nothing but contempt, as though he were a completely different person.

“I didn’t,” Xie Mingyao protested, her face pale and tears welling in her eyes. She hurriedly explained, “She was in danger at the bar, and I saved her. I even found out she had been drugged and kindly brought her to the hospital. And she volunteered to put my shoes on ask her yourself if you don’t believe me!”

Zhou Yanfeng turned to Ye Qingyu, his cold expression instantly melting into gentleness. “Ye Qingyu, tell the truth. Don’t be afraid of her.”

His words implied that Xie Mingyao was using her status to bully others and lie.

Furious and jealous, Xie Mingyao bit her lip hard, her gaze fixed intently on Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu sighed softly.

Why would such a dazzling, privileged young lady fall for a man so unworthy of her love?

With a cool expression and indifferent tone, Ye Qingyu said, “Zhou Yanfeng, what Xie Mingyao said is true.”

But Zhou Yanfeng didn’t believe it. He sneered and mocked Xie Mingyao, “Xie Mingyao, I’m warning you stop throwing your weight around. Otherwise, I won’t be polite with you!”

Xie Mingyao widened her eyes in disbelief, anger flaring. “She already told you the truth! Why won’t you believe me? Yanfeng, is this really how you see me? And you’re my fiancé, why do you keep caring about her? Have you forgotten your place?”

“What fiancé? That was arranged by our families. I never agreed to it. I already have someone I like, and I’ll inform our elders to cancel this engagement,” Zhou Yanfeng declared coldly and sternly.

Xie Mingyao froze for a long moment before finally reacting. “What are you saying? You’re my fiancé! I won’t allow you to break off the engagement! And is the person you like Ye Qingyu?!”

“Ye Qingyu, you said before that you didn’t like Yanfeng, so what’s going on now? How can you be so shameless, stealing my man!” Xie Mingyao suddenly turned her gaze to Ye Qingyu by the hospital bed and rushed forward, trying to lunge at her.

Before she could reach her, Zhou Yanfeng grabbed her arm and flung her aside forcefully: “Xie Mingyao, aren’t you tired of this? I’ve already said I don’t like you, yet you keep buzzing around me like a fly. Do you have any idea how much I despise you? And breaking off the engagement isn’t entirely because of Ye. Stop pestering me and leave her alone!”

Xie Mingyao was thrown onto the sofa, dizzy and disoriented, her already messy hair becoming even more disheveled. She looked up into Zhou Yanfeng’s disgusted eyes, her body frozen as if by ice, her hands and feet cold.

Ye Qingyu frowned slightly, glancing at the rough Zhou Yanfeng and then at Xie Mingyao.

The bold and radiant young lady had misty black eyes, the corners slightly reddened, making her exquisitely beautiful face look pitiful.

Yet she stubbornly held back her tears, refusing to let them fall and lose face, which only stirred up hidden, dark thoughts in others.

They wanted to make this young lady cry even harder.

Ye Qingyu shook her head, dismissing the absurd thought, and stepped forward to take Xie Mingyao’s slender, pale wrist, helping her up. Then, with a cold expression, she looked at Zhou Yanfeng and said distantly, “Zhou, no matter who Xie is to you, treating her like this is too much.”

“I don’t need you to speak up for me!” Xie Mingyao snapped angrily, pushing Ye Qingyu aside and glaring at her fiercely, like a little dog baring its teeth. “Stop pretending! He’s breaking off the engagement because of you, Ye Qingyu. I won’t let you off!”

After shouting these words furiously, Xie Mingyao didn’t wait for their response. She quickly ran out in her high heels.

Once outside the ward, Xie Mingyao’s expression returned to normal. She peeked back into the room and saw Ye Qingyu acting coldly toward Zhou Yanfeng, while he fawned over her like a lovesick fool. She couldn’t help but curl her lip.

Afraid of being caught if she lingered too long, Xie Mingyao didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.

When she got home, her mother was there. Seeing Xie Mingyao’s reddened eyes, her heart ached: “Yaoyao, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?”

Xie Mingyao hugged her mother’s arm pitifully, whining, “Mom, Yanfeng, he—”

“What did he do? Did he bully you?” Xie’s mother’s radar immediately went off, her expression serious as she pressed for answers.

Xie Mingyao said tearfully, “He wants to break off our engagement, all for some girl.”

Xie’s mother immediately relaxed, patting Xie Mingyao’s arm reassuringly. “Is that all? It’s just some girl. Men at this age love to play around. Once you’re married, he’ll settle down. Even if he doesn’t, once you have children, you’ll always be different from those women outside.”

Xie Mingyao was nearly dumbfounded by what she heard.

In her original world, her parents were deeply in love, and she was their only daughter, doted on and never wronged. This was the first time she’d ever heard such words.

Are they really the biological parents of the original owner? No wonder in the novel, after the Xie family went bankrupt, the original owner was tricked into returning to the country, while her parents took the opportunity to flee abroad, leaving her to shoulder the massive debts.

However, Xie Mingyao still followed her character’s script and said indignantly, “But what if he really wants to cancel the engagement? Mom, Yanfeng is mine, I won’t let anyone else take him from me!”

“Don’t worry, this engagement was arranged by the elders of both families. Does he think he can just cancel it if he wants to?” Mrs. Xie scoffed.

Xie Mingyao nodded obediently, a faint smile appearing on her face.

After exchanging a few more words with her mother, who was in a hurry to get a beauty treatment, Mrs. Xie left directly. Left with no choice, Xie Mingyao had to return home.

The next day at school, Xie Mingyao seemed listless. As soon as Wang Yuzhen saw her, she immediately approached.

“Mingyao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling down?” Wang Yuzhen asked with a face full of concern.

After witnessing Xie Mingyao letting Ye Qingyu into her car and driving off that day, Wang Yuzhen had secretly followed them. She saw Xie Mingyao kindly taking Ye Qingyu to the hospital and even staying overnight to care for her. Deliberately, she leaked this information to Zhou Yanfeng.

She phrased it ambiguously, knowing it would make Zhou Yanfeng resent Xie Mingyao. Naturally, Xie Mingyao would then blame Ye Qingyu for everything. Sure enough, everything unfolded exactly as she had anticipated.

Xie Mingyao’s expression darkened abruptly, her voice filled with anger. “Yanfeng actually wants to break off the engagement because of Ye Qingyu!”

Wang Yuzhen feigned surprise. “How could that be? Has he really fallen for Ye Qingyu? That little b*tch, she dared to lie to you before! Mingyao, I told you, you shouldn’t have let her off so easily. She’s nothing but a fox spirit, always seducing men!”

Under Wang Yuzhen’s instigation, Xie Mingyao grew even angrier. She sneered, “Don’t worry, my parents won’t agree to cancel the engagement.”

The two families weren’t just old friends, they had business ties. Even if they had to force it, they’d stay bound together.

“Mingyao, you don’t understand. Once a man gets obsessed, he’ll do anything. And even if Zhou can’t break off the engagement, if he keeps chasing after Ye Qingyu, the whole school will know. By then, you’ll be humiliated.”

This was clearly goading her to take action against Ye Qingyu. But it worked out perfectly, it gave her an excuse to get close to Ye Qingyu.

Xie Mingyao’s face turned icy as she slammed the table. “You’re right. I shouldn’t let her off so easily!”

“Mingyao, tell me, how should we deal with her?” Wang Yuzhen’s eyes gleamed with excitement, a dark glint flashing in them.

Xie Mingyao glanced at her dismissively and said lightly, “No need. I’ll handle it myself.”

“But, ” Wang Yuzhen’s expression stiffened as she tried urgently to persuade Xie Mingyao.

Xie Mingyao waved her hand. “I’ll do it myself. I don’t need your help for now.”

Under Xie Mingyao’s firm stance, Wang Yuzhen could only swallow her dissatisfaction and leave.

After the first class ended, Xie Mingyao went to Ye Qingyu’s classroom to find her. Ye Qingyu’s class was a mix, some students were admitted based on merit, while others were just there to pass time.

However, the slackers didn’t disrupt the class. Some watched videos, others played games, but none of them disturbed the teacher’s lecture.

The teacher on the podium lectured with great enthusiasm, and the students listened attentively, diligently taking notes.

Xie Mingyao spotted Ye Qingyu in the crowd at first glance.

Even in the same school uniform, it looked exceptionally good on her, evoking an impulsive desire to buy it off her.

Her delicate and refined features, skin as pale and cool as jade, and her slender yet upright posture stood out. Sunlight streamed into the classroom, casting a faint golden halo around her, softening her aloofness and making her look incredibly beautiful.

Xie Mingyao admired her for a while until the teacher in the classroom stopped lecturing, closed the textbook, and left. The students began rising one after another, and she saw Ye Qingyu stand up and walk out as well.

Xie Mingyao immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be just passing by, strolling leisurely forward. As Ye Qingyu moved ahead of her, Xie Mingyao raised an eyebrow, deliberately quickened her steps, and bumped hard into her.

Ye Qingyu paused, turning to glance at Xie Mingyao.

The girl’s eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, her features as if meticulously painted bold and radiant, with an unmistakable hint of provocation. Clearly, she had bumped into her on purpose.

Ye Qingyu frowned slightly.

She hadn’t forgotten what happened at the hospital yesterday. Xie Mingyao had helped her a great deal without her, her life might have been ruined. Being bumped into was nothing in comparison.

With that in mind, Ye Qingyu gave Xie Mingyao a slight nod and continued toward the restroom.

Xie Mingyao was momentarily stunned, not expecting Ye Qingyu to let it slide. Feeling embarrassed, she bit her lower lip lightly and followed her to the restroom.

The restroom was empty. Xie Mingyao entered first, standing by the door. As Ye Qingyu tried to walk in, she lifted her foot, propping it against the opposite side of the doorframe, blocking the entrance with her leg.

“Want to go in? Beg me!”
