The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (16)

0357’s jaw nearly hit the floor. “Wait, Host… are you actually into women?”

Xu Yangyang gave it a look that said, Figure it out for yourself.

0357 was stunned. Back then, when Xu Yangyang repeatedly told Zhang Yulan that she liked women, the system assumed it was just a clever trick—a villainous tactic to stir the pot and muddy the waters. It had completely forgotten that under the rule of “Honesty,” Xu Yangyang literally could not tell a lie.

Consequently, 0357 had been entirely negligent, maintaining zero defense against her on this front. If it had known earlier, it would have done everything in its power to stop Xu Yangyang from broadcasting the male lead’s secrets to the world! 0357 sat in a corner of her mind, full of regret, writing a self-reflection report.

Xu Yangyang knew when to stop. She feigned a recovery of her emotions, pulling away from Jiang Ni’s shoulder. Her face once again wore the same smile as usual. “Sorry, I lost my composure.”

Jiang Ni shook her head. A thousand words eventually condensed into a single, concise sentence: “…We are friends. If you have anything that makes you unhappy or troubled in the future, you can talk to me.” She pursed her lips. “I am very happy to listen.”

Xu Yangyang didn’t immediately respond to that offer. She changed the subject. “Let’s get back to work, Sister. It’s getting late.”

She quickly entered a professional state of mind. Jiang Ni opened her mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent. On the surface, Jiang Ni was working diligently, but her heart was racing with a single thought: Once this project ends, what legitimate reason can I use to get close to her again? Her family didn’t have infinite resources for her to squander on business excuses.

Her brow furrowed slightly as she took a deep breath, slowly making a decision. Since the conditions didn’t exist, she would create them. In ancient times, the Foolish Old Man moved mountains and the Jingwei bird filled the sea. She didn’t consider herself stupid, and she had the backing of her family—putting her at least one major step ahead of anyone else. Her chances of success were high.

As her mood settled, Jiang Ni smiled at Xu Yangyang, who was watching her. “I agree with your suggestion.”

Xu Yangyang’s previous vulnerability seemed like a fleeting hallucination, vanishing the moment she looked up. After finishing the explanation, Xu Yangyang rose and politely said her goodbyes before leaving.

Perhaps the “devilish schedule” Su Rui had arranged was having an effect; Xu Yangyang now carried an indescribably moving aura. Her health had improved significantly; she was slender yet healthy, her skin glowing with a faint, natural pink, like a peach ripening from green to red—unripe yet delicious.

Xu Yangyang didn’t like wearing her hair down. Her long, jet-black hair was always neatly and exquisitely pinned up, adding a touch of cold elegance to her harmless aura. When she squinted at people, she looked quite authoritative.

She had suddenly “grown up.” Jiang Ni was dazed for a moment, feeling the other woman was slightly unfamiliar. But at the same time, her heart and soul were uncontrollably drawn to her, deeply fascinated. Before meeting Xu Yangyang, Jiang Ni never thought she would have feelings for a girl, let alone fall in love. But from the moment they first met, even when the other girl didn’t have what society considered a “brilliant” appearance, she was still captivated by her eyes.

Jiang Ni found it hard to describe the feeling. She only knew that her heart had skipped a beat the moment she saw her, and it only truly began beating again because of her.

Xu Yangyang was very satisfied with Jiang Ni’s work efficiency. If the project went smoothly, she thought while resting her chin on her hand, her status in the company would become even more secure.

Back at the office, Su Rui hurried to meet her. “General Manager, Meng Zhichuan is truly shameless! He actually wants to snatch our project again—the one you’re currently negotiating with Miss Jiang.”

Su Rui was furious, her fair face flushed with excitement. “I really want to use his mother as the center point and his ancestors for eighteen generations as the radius to start ‘offering my greetings’…”

Under Xu Yangyang’s steady gaze, Su Rui gave a sheepish laugh. “But then I remembered you’re here, General Manager, so I quickly gave up on that plan.”

Xu Yangyang gave a half-smile. “That’s good.”

Su Rui blushed, awkwardly scratching the side of her neck, her expression clearly guilty. “General Manager, how are we going to deal with him now?”

“Let’s wait and see. There might be a turn of events.”

Lately, Xu Yangyang had been busy driving a wedge between Zhang Yulan and Meng Rudeng, neglecting Meng Zhichuan and his “Protagonist Halo.” After thinking for a moment, she called Meng Zhichuan’s new boyfriend, Xiao Lan. “I’ll leave the Old Man to you. Neither of them has been staying quiet lately. Find a way to make the father and son turn against each other.”

The other party laughed and agreed. “Leave it to me.”

Xiao Lan was a middle-school classmate of the original host. His family background wasn’t great, but he was smart, savvy, and knew his place. So, when Xu Yangyang found him and explained her intent, he agreed without hesitation. Are you kidding? A golden opportunity like this—getting both the man and the money—was something he’d wake up laughing about.

He hadn’t been with Meng Zhichuan for very long, but he had already successfully squeezed two apartments, three cars, and countless designer brands out of him. This was the luxury life he hadn’t even dared to dream of before.

After hanging up with Xu Yangyang, Xiao Lan rubbed his hands together, eager to start. The son is this rich; the father’s financial situation must be even better, right?

After Xiao Lan stirred up some trouble for Meng Zhichuan, the latter indeed quieted down. He returned to his previous state of listlessness, moping around all day like a grieving widow. Xu Yangyang smiled but didn’t expose him.

Su Rui stared at Xu Yangyang in wonder. “It’s like magic.”

“Do you know, General Manager? That guy had a falling out with his little boyfriend because the boyfriend complained he was a workaholic who spent too little time with him. The boyfriend ‘heartbreakingly’ proposed a breakup.”

“Not only that, while he was trying to win the boyfriend back—right as they were tangling and having a passionate kiss—his ‘Ex’ appeared out of nowhere.”

“When the Ex saw the little boyfriend’s face—which looks just like his own—his expression changed on the spot!”

Xu Yangyang found it strange. “How do you know all this?”

“I saw it with my own eyes!” Su Rui proudly brandished her phone. “Not only did I stumble upon it, I secretly recorded a video and sent it to the company’s gossip group. The whole company is exploding right now.”

Xu Yangyang: “…”

To be able to stumble into that… Xu Yangyang had to admit, Su Rui truly lived up to her status as the female lead.

In the original plot, the one tangled with Meng Zhichuan would have been Jiang Ni, who would have successfully gotten engaged to him. Because of that, Meng Zhichuan and Su Rui would have had a major misunderstanding, only for him to save her life six months later and clear the air.

But now, Xu Yangyang stared at Su Rui in the company chat group. Su Rui was sparing no effort, adding fuel to the fire to describe the scene, and taking the chance to subtly smear Meng Zhichuan.

The most high-end business wars really only require the most primitive methods.

The “White Lotus” had finally strayed onto the path of darkness.
