The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (2)

“Welcome.” Amidst Jiang Ni’s dazed expression, Xu Yangyang continued to flash an innocent and harmless smile, speaking rapidly: “My brother went to drop off his boyfriend. He’ll be back shortly. Sister, why don’t you come in and have a seat?”

Xu Yangyang stepped aside, leaving enough room for Jiang Ni to pass.

Jiang Ni snapped back to her senses, her expression complex as she stared at Xu Yangyang.

Xu Yangyang’s face showed a confusion appropriate for her age, as if asking the other what was wrong. But soon, her expression shifted slightly. She cleared her throat and leaned in, deliberately lowering her voice to whisper: “Sister, you must never tell anyone else about this.”

“Mom doesn’t let me talk about Brother having a boyfriend to anyone outside.”

“It’s because I like you—I felt close to you the moment we met—that I couldn’t help but disobey Mom’s wishes.” Xu Yangyang pinched her fingers in fear. “If Mom finds out I couldn’t keep Brother’s secret, she’ll skin me alive!”

Sensing Xu Yangyang’s small body trembling with fear, Jiang Ni managed a difficult tug at the corners of her mouth. “Okay, Feifei, don’t worry.”

She reached out comfortingly to rub the top of Xu Yangyang’s head. The girl’s hair was fine and soft, fluffy to the touch, like the fat orange cat back at her home that was as heavy as a semi-trailer.

However… Jiang Ni looked down and finally noticed the startling protrusion of Xu Yangyang’s bones.

She had never seen anyone so thin. It was as if she came from a destitute family and went hungry every day; she was skeletal, her skin and flesh so sunken it bordered on the horrific.

Doubts flashed through Jiang Ni’s mind. Given the Meng family’s wealth, Meng Fei should not look like this.

“Nini, you’re here?” Hearing the commotion at the door, Zhang Yulan hurried out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Jiang Ni, a kind and gentle smile immediately spread across her face. “Come in, let Auntie have a look at you.”

“You’ve become even prettier.”

Jiang Ni had met Zhang Yulan a few times under her mother’s guidance. At the time, she didn’t know much about the woman, but because of her beautiful and elegant appearance, she had a decent impression of her.

That favorable impression stopped dead at this moment.

The thought that this woman knew her son liked men, yet chose to hide the news completely—intending to trick her into marrying into the Meng family to become a pathetic, undignified breeding machine—made Jiang Ni’s blood boil.

If it weren’t for the simple and kind Meng Fei accidentally letting it slip…

Jiang Ni glanced at Xu Yangyang, who was standing nervously beside her, and her expression softened involuntarily. Zhang Yulan and Meng Zhichuan deserved to burn, but the girl was innocent.

The blind date arrangement also involved Jiang Ni’s parents’ wishes. Their family business had suddenly run into problems, and the capital chain was extremely tight. Thus, they wanted to approach the Meng family to relieve the company’s pressure.

But without being kin or old friends, the Meng family wouldn’t necessarily be willing to lend a helping hand. Just then, Zhang Yulan proactively suggested a meeting between the children of the two families. Jiang Ni’s parents, harboring their own small calculations, agreed without much hesitation.

This was the reason Jiang Ni had come to the Meng household today.

Who would have guessed that before the blind date even officially began, she would discover Meng Zhichuan’s true orientation and Zhang Yulan’s plan for a fraudulent marriage?

Suppressing the extra emotions in her heart, Jiang Ni exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Yulan as if nothing were wrong.

Seeing the two sit down, Xu Yangyang very perceptively went to pour them cups of hot tea. Zhang Yulan’s reaction was flat, as if she were used to this. Only Jiang Ni’s eyes flickered with surprise and a trace of unobservable heartache.

After serving Zhang Yulan, Xu Yangyang sensibly left the space to the two of them.

Finding an opportunity, the System pressed its throbbing temples and spoke: “Host, I have to kindly remind you: if you continue with this villainous style, you will never be able to return to your original world.”

“Am I not saving a poor woman about to be tricked into the grave of marriage?” Xu Yangyang replied unhurriedly. “How is that wrong?”

The System was stunned.

“Since I already know about the filth between Meng Zhichuan and Fang Tingyang, am I supposed to just watch Zhang Yulan and Meng Zhichuan destroy the innocent Jiang Ni?”

“That doesn’t fit my character setting.” Xu Yangyang smiled brightly at the System’s phantom image in mid-air. “‘Integrity’—this is the fine quality you personally bestowed upon me. Since that’s the case, shouldn’t I tell Jiang Ni the truth?”

The System felt something was off with her words, yet she wasn’t lying. So far, all of Xu Yangyang’s actions fit her persona perfectly. Thus, even a being as wise as the System fell into a rare silence.

Xu Yangyang knew when to stop and said no more. Seeing her good attitude, the System didn’t pursue the matter further.

Regardless, the plot hadn’t officially started yet, so she let Xu Yangyang be. If she wanted to be a good person, a hero, and save Jiang Ni from the fire, it didn’t matter—as long as it didn’t affect the mission once it officially began.

Speaking of which, the System was quite curious to see how Jiang Ni would react after learning the truth.

Jiang Ni did not expose Zhang Yulan, because Meng Rudeng and Meng Zhichuan had returned.

She looked toward the door. To be fair, Meng Zhichuan did have the “assets.” His noble, lean figure, his lofty temperament, and his look of a man uninterested in women could easily stir a desire to conquer him.

But no matter how excellent his appearance, it was worthless compared to his character.

Jiang Ni rose politely, offering a few standard pleasantries. To this, Meng Zhichuan remained cold and indifferent, maintaining a passive posture of someone being forced against their will.

Zhang Yulan was fuming. If the timing weren’t so critical, she would have grilled him then and there to find out exactly what was going on between him and that Fang Tingyang.

Maintaining the smile on her face, Zhang Yulan shot Meng Zhichuan several fierce glares. Receiving the threat, Meng Zhichuan’s body stiffened slightly. After a long while, he perked up a bit, though his attitude remained extremely perfunctory.

Xu Yangyang took all of this in and considerately went to the kitchen to tell them to serve the meal. With the focus shifted, the atmosphere between them lightened slightly.

Meng Zhichuan’s attitude had already made the problem clear. Zhang Yulan’s heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar; she was chilled to the bone.

If her son, like her, liked men, then what would happen to the family line? A daughter would eventually marry out; even if she shared their blood, the child in her womb would not belong to the family lineage. Thus, Zhang Yulan never even considered Meng Fei’s existence.

She frowned deeply, worrying about Meng Zhichuan while looking after Jiang Ni. By the end of the meal, she was physically and mentally exhausted.

Xu Yangyang kept her head down, quietly eating a lot of food under Zhang Yulan’s nose. She didn’t reluctantly put down her chopsticks until her stomach was round and she couldn’t fit another bite.

Jiang Ni’s gaze swept over her inconspicuously, her doubts deepening. Although Meng Fei was the daughter of the Meng family in name, seeing her today, it felt as if she lived worse than an average person.

Could this family be abusing their own biological daughter?

Looking at Xu Yangyang’s satisfied face after eating her fill, Jiang Ni became increasingly certain of the guess in her heart.

After the meal, Zhang Yulan enthusiastically pulled Jiang Ni to sit on the sofa and watch TV. She originally wanted to use this chance to play matchmaker for her and Meng Zhichuan, but Meng Zhichuan had no interest whatsoever.

With a face as stiff as a corpse, he distantly and coldly told Zhang Yulan he was leaving, then turned and went straight back to his room. He hadn’t wanted to come to the blind date at all, regardless of how beautiful Jiang Ni was.

Right now, his head was filled with Fang Tingyang. He wished he could grow wings and fly to his side immediately. Though they had shared a moment of intimacy that afternoon, Fang Tingyang was still angry with him—not replying to messages, not logging into games; it was as if he had vanished from the earth.

Agitated, Meng Zhichuan was about to sit down when he inadvertently caught sight of Xu Yangyang following him in.

His face immediately soured. “What are you doing here?”

He thoroughly disliked this biological younger sister of his, for no reason at all.

Xu Yangyang naturally detected the unmasked loathing in his eyes. She couldn’t help but smile. She had originally planned to negotiate with him properly, but now it seemed unnecessary.

“I saw you bringing Fang Tingyang into your room this afternoon.” Xu Yangyang smiled slightly. “Not only that, I know exactly what you two were doing in there.”

Meng Zhichuan panicked, instinctively denying it. “Impossible!”

“Stop talking nonsense and throwing dirt on me.” He stood up emotionally. “Meng Fei, I think your skin is itching; you must be tired of living—”

Once Xu Yangyang produced powerful evidence—a recording—Meng Zhichuan instantly became obedient. “What do you want?”

Facing the threat and backstab from his own sister for the first time, Meng Zhichuan’s expression was particularly ugly. “I’m telling you, I’m not afraid of you telling Jiang Ni. I have no interest in her anyway.”

“But Mom is interested in her, isn’t she?”

Xu Yangyang looked at him calmly. “Tell me, if Mom finds out…”

“I’ll transfer ten thousand to you.” Meng Zhichuan gritted his teeth. “From now on, keep your filthy mouth shut.”

Xu Yangyang bargained: “One million.”

“One million?!” Meng Zhichuan was incredulous. “Why don’t you just go rob a bank!”

“Mom!” Xu Yangyang didn’t bother wasting words and shouted out loud. Meng Zhichuan’s scalp went numb. He quickly interrupted her, hurrying to shut the bedroom door.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He squeezed the words through his teeth: “Fine. One million it is.”

Terrified she would go back on her word, he pulled out his phone on the spot and transferred the money.

Xu Yangyang smiled with satisfaction and added: “Actually, Mom has already been suspicious of your orientation.”

Meng Zhichuan’s heart instantly leaped into his throat.

“However,” Xu Yangyang blinked innocently, “so far, Mom doesn’t have any substantial evidence, so you’re safe for the time being.”

After “comforting” him, Xu Yangyang changed the subject: “Now, I have a brilliant way to divert Mom’s attention away from you.”

She rubbed her fingers together; the hint was obvious.

Meng Zhichuan had been following her train of thought, but seeing this, his face darkened two shades further. “Five hundred thousand. Not a penny more.”

Xu Yangyang quit while she was ahead: “Deal.”

Having successfully fleeced an unexpected windfall of 1.5 million out of Meng Zhichuan, Xu Yangyang pulled open the door with satisfaction. Outside, Zhang Yulan, having heard her shout, was staring at her with an unpleasant expression. “You’d better have something important to say.”

Xu Yangyang paused, then sank into a moment of contemplation.

Then, under Zhang Yulan’s hostile gaze and Meng Zhichuan’s trembling fear, Xu Yangyang put on a timid expression and whispered:

“Mom, I just suddenly remembered… it seems that ‘orientation’ can be hereditary.”

“So, since you suspect Brother, is there a possibility…”

“That the person who is actually ‘off’ is Dad?”
