The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (23)

Amidst the dizziness, Jiang Ni heard Xu Yangyang’s words.

The other party was as straightforward as ever, with a faint hint of dominance. Jiang Ni nodded reflexively, finally ceasing her attempts to evade Xu Yangyang’s movements. She gently closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting uncontrollably as if fireworks were exploding one after another in her mind.

From the first time she appeared before Xu Yangyang as Meng Zhichuan’s blind date—his “sister’s brother”—until today, Jiang Ni had finally achieved her wish: to embrace the person she thought of every night. She was no longer an outsider; she was no longer irrelevant.

Jiang Ni placed a hand protectively around Xu Yangyang’s waist, actively responding. In the silence of the night, Jiang Ni’s aura gradually took on a bold, aggressive edge. Xu Yangyang’s hands were quickly seized, just like the night before, pinned behind her back—firm and inescapable.

The hem of Xu Yangyang’s shirt rode up two inches, revealing flawless skin and a delicate navel. Jiang Ni pulled away slightly, her dark gaze flickering over the faint marks on Xu Yangyang’s waist. Taking the lead, she pressed her weight against Xu Yangyang, slipping a hand under the fabric to pull her slender waist firmly toward herself. A hot breath brushed against Xu Yangyang’s lips, itchy and moist.

Suddenly finding herself completely overpowered, Xu Yangyang didn’t panic or struggle. She relaxed all her defenses, generously allowing Jiang Ni to act on her “territory.” Between breaths, Xu Yangyang smiled and teased, “Sister, I hope you can successfully hold the fort tonight.”

Jiang Ni stiffened for a moment. Her usually gentle movements suddenly gained force as she suppressed Xu Yangyang even more firmly. She looked up and smiled—a smile that gave Xu Yangyang a sudden sense of impending doom.

Sure enough, thanks to her “trash-talking,” she was punished severely that night. If Jiang Ni had been shy and restrained before, she had now completely let go, showing a very strong sense of “service” with various tricks to please Xu Yangyang.

Xu Yangyang was stunned for a moment, but soon she couldn’t think of anything else. The world seemed to turn misty until a strong ray of sunlight finally pierced through, illuminating the blurred landscape.

Xu Yangyang leaned against the headboard, already washed and refreshed. Jiang Ni leaned against her, feeling a bit shy because of the bright light, so she changed the subject. “Do we need to continue the collaboration? I’ve secured a new project.”

“We do.” Jiang Ni was highly capable; her projects were always top-tier and brought in massive profits. Their last collaboration had helped Xu Yangyang win over the company’s hearts and solidify her position.

Xu Yangyang knew Jiang Ni had acted out of kindness. Although Meng Zhichuan had neglected business due to her interference, his years of control over the company made it hard for her to rise. Jiang Ni’s olive branch had solved that problem perfectly.

She twirled a strand of Jiang Ni’s long hair around her finger. “Come to the office tomorrow to talk about it?”

Jiang Ni agreed. On the surface, she was quiet, but her mind was actually on Su Rui. While the girl was Xu Yangyang’s right hand, their relationship seemed a bit too close. A wave of jealousy rose; Jiang Ni looked up at Xu Yangyang (who was playing with her phone) and pulled her back down.

Xu Yangyang was “bullied” again for no apparent reason. “?”

The next day, Su Rui noticed a radiant, exceptionally beautiful Xu Yangyang and grew curious. “CEO Meng, you look really stunning today. I mean, you were always pretty, but today is… different.”

It was as if she had eaten some incredible supplement; a healthy, natural glow permeated her skin, accompanied by a faint, lazy charm that made it impossible to look away.

Xu Yangyang knew what Su Rui meant. She smiled. “Alright, go get ready. We’re meeting CEO Jiang soon.”

Su Rui blinked. “Another collaboration with the Jiang Group?”

“Why? You don’t like it?” Xu Yangyang looked at her.

Su Rui shook her head. “No, I’m just surprised. CEO Jiang has been showing you so much favor repeatedly. I just feel like… the drunkard’s heart isn’t in the wine (she has ulterior motives).”

As a qualified assistant, Su Rui had researched all the major families. The Jiang Group had once nearly gone bankrupt but survived. After the old CEO retired, Jiang Ni took over and stunned everyone. Under her, the business had expanded three-fold. Even if they were old acquaintances, the two companies were still competitors in some fields. Su Rui felt that given Jiang Ni’s pride, she had no reason to hand over profits unless she had an “unspeakable” goal from the start.

Xu Yangyang wasn’t surprised by the guess. Instead of denying it, she praised her: “Xiao Su, you’re something else now, thinking on this level.”

Su Rui’s face reddened. “CEO Meng! Stop teasing me.”

Xu Yangyang laughed. “Anyway, the collaboration is good. Your performance bonuses won’t be small.” More importantly, working with Jiang Ni would effectively block any chance of Meng Zhichuan making a comeback. She hadn’t forgotten that in the original story, Jiang Ni and Su Rui both contributed significantly to his career.

At the mention of money, Su Rui perked up instantly, forgetting to probe Jiang Ni’s intentions. The world is big, but salary is bigger. She hurried off to prepare.

Xu Yangyang turned her attention to Meng Zhichuan’s recent status.

Meng Zhichuan and Meng Rudeng had officially severed their father-son relationship. Because of Xiao Lan, the two loathed each other, using every ounce of cunning to smear the other and leak “black materials” in front of the boy.

Xiao Lan was nearly dying of laughter—he got to eat “tea,” and the targets were giving him money. It was the peak of his life. As a smart person, he didn’t forget to report everything to Xu Yangyang and hand over a share of the “benefits” to ensure his continued prosperity.

Xu Yangyang: “Keep increasing the pressure. I want to make sure neither the old one nor the young one has a chance of a comeback.”

Xiao Lan felt energized. Was she wrapping things up? Good. He was tired of these two. With his current net worth, he could find a new “pretty boy” every day.

Meng Zhichuan’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the tearful Xiao Lan. “I’m sorry, Young Master Meng,” Xiao Lan sobbed. “There’s no possibility for us. I am now your father’s lover—your stepmother. Don’t pester me anymore. If this blows up, it’s bad for all three of us.”

“You’re young,” Xiao Lan added with a tiny shred of sincerity. “You can find a boy who is gentler and more considerate than me…”

“I don’t want anyone else!” Meng Zhichuan hissed. “Only you.”

Even Xiao Lan was shocked by his obsession. “But… I’m your stepmother.”

“I don’t recognize it!” Meng Zhichuan grabbed Xiao Lan’s hand. “Come with me to see him right now.”

He was determined to snatch Xiao Lan back. He dragged the boy before Meng Rudeng. Meng Rudeng stood up in a rage: “Meng Zhichuan, let go of your stepmother! You unfilial son, how dare you touch him!”

To Meng Rudeng, Xiao Lan was the perfect partner: gentle, patient, young, and filled with admiration for him. Most importantly, he couldn’t get pregnant and split the inheritance. Now that his own son was trying to steal him, Meng Rudeng couldn’t sit still. He tried to pull Xiao Lan away, but Meng Zhichuan blocked him.

“Move!” Meng Rudeng roared. “If you don’t, I’ll take back everything you have. I won’t help you rebuild your career. We will be father and son no more! I’ll make sure you have nothing—not even a fraction of your sister’s wealth!”

This was a heavy threat. Meng Zhichuan’s face shifted, but seeing Xiao Lan’s “worried” gaze, he stood firm. “Take it all back then. Except for Xiao Lan. To me, no material possession is worth more than him.”

“You ungrateful brat!” Meng Rudeng’s face turned black.

“Want to fight then, Dad?” Meng Zhichuan sneered.

The two came to blows. Meng Zhichuan pushed Xiao Lan aside. “Stay there, I’ll take you away later.” This was like pouring oil on a fire; Meng Rudeng hit harder.

Half an hour later, the fight ended. Being older, Meng Rudeng couldn’t beat the younger man. Meng Zhichuan, though bruised and bleeding, felt triumphant. He grabbed Xiao Lan’s hand to leave, but Meng Rudeng called out: “Xiao Lan! Are you really leaving with him?”

“That’s none of your concern,” Meng Zhichuan cut him off. “From now on, Xiao Lan has nothing to do with you. If you want to keep your dignity in high society, stop here. Or I can’t guarantee what secrets I’ll reveal.”

Meng Zhichuan led Xiao Lan to the car. Once inside, Xiao Lan looked at his injuries. “Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?”

“With you here, it doesn’t hurt,” Meng Zhichuan said.

Xiao Lan didn’t look moved. Instead, he slowly lowered his head. A bad premonition hit Meng Zhichuan. “Xiao Lan?”

“I’m sorry, Young Master Meng.” Xiao Lan looked up, opened the door, and stepped out. “It was nice knowing you. Goodbye.”

He walked away, leaving a stunned Meng Zhichuan behind. For a long time, the man punched the steering wheel, unable to control his despair.

Ruined in career and love, Meng Zhichuan began to spiral, drinking himself into a stupor at bars every day. Meanwhile, rumors about Meng Rudeng’s “fraudulent marriage” spread everywhere. Combined with the news of the divorce, he became a pariah. Obsessed with face and unable to bear the pressure, he sold his assets at a low price and fled abroad with the cash, disappearing from sight.

Xu Yangyang satisfiedly retracted her thoughts and took Su Rui to see Jiang Ni.

Su Rui was no longer the clumsy assistant. Her “Koi” halo was invincible; she had won over the company and secured her position as Project Manager.

Thinking of rumors, Xu Yangyang told Su Rui: “Keep an eye out. If any nasty rumors start in the company, send me the names of the spreaders.” Having been a villain herself, she knew how it felt to be framed.

Su Rui hesitated. “Are you going to… let them go? Wouldn’t that be worse?”

“Doesn’t matter,” Xu Yangyang smiled. “As long as they don’t harm us.”

Us? Su Rui’s heart skipped a beat. CEO Meng really understood her past grievances. Even if it wasn’t just for her, Su Rui felt incredibly happy.

At lunch with Jiang Ni, Su Rui felt something was “off” about the other CEO. This confusion lasted until she fell asleep and had a dream.

In the dream, she was Meng Zhichuan’s assistant. She spilled coffee on him, he forgave her, and they developed a strange, messy romance. Then, his “fiancée,” Jiang Ni, appeared. This Jiang Ni was cold and terrifying, making her life a living hell. And Xu Yangyang? In the dream, Xu Yangyang and Jiang Ni teamed up to bully her.

Su Rui struggled in her sleep. No, CEO Meng would never do that! She’s patient and kind!

The dream continued—she was bullied by socialites, suffered, got pregnant, and had a miscarriage. She was horrified—How could I be with Meng Zhichuan? He likes men! Finally, after three miscarriages and endless drama, she and Meng Zhichuan ended up together in a “happy” ending, while the “villains” (Jiang Ni and Xu Yangyang) were ruined.

Su Rui woke up in a cold sweat. “Real life is so much better…” What kind of nightmare was that? It was scarier than a man saying “I’ll take care of you”!

Dazed, she went to the office and saw Xu Yangyang with a faint mark on her neck. She blurted out, “CEO Meng, are you in a relationship?”

Xu Yangyang: “You found out?”

“Since you know, in private, you can call CEO Jiang… ‘President’s Wife’.” That jealous person had been so sour last night that Xu Yangyang was almost overwhelmed.

Su Rui froze. “Okay…” Wait, what?

Jiang Ni?!

A surge of bitterness hit her. She felt like a hole had opened in her heart. She retreated to her office and realized, belatedly: I think I just went through a breakup.

She had relied on Xu Yangyang, loved the feeling of being protected by her. But she realized it too late. She didn’t dare say anything; if she kept quiet, they could be partners, but if she spoke, she’d lose everything. She suppressed her tears and acted normal.

Xu Yangyang frowned. “Why have you been crying?”

“I haven’t. My eyes are dry from lack of sleep, I just used eye drops.”

“I see… take the day off and rest.”

[Detection: Plot line deviation. Plot collapse degree: 300%… 337%… 500%!]

[Plot concluded. Mission terminated.]

The world froze. Xu Yangyang raised an eyebrow and spoke to 0357: “I want to talk to your boss.”

0357 contacted the Main System. The Main System looked at the mess. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

“I’m not making excuses,” Xu Yangyang said calmly. “Did I or did I not protect the leads’ ‘love lines’?”

The Main System fumed. They both have love interests, yes, but they aren’t each other! Who sabotages a pairing on purpose?

Xu Yangyang continued: “I kept Meng Zhichuan alive, didn’t I? And Su Rui? With her clumsy nature, I helped her change her fate in the company. I focused on the happiness of the leads and the supporting actress, saving them from so much suffering. And you want to punish me? Where is the justice?”

The Main System was speechless. The leads were now deeply in love with other people—there was no forcing them together now. This world was completely “cooked.”

Seeing the silence, Xu Yangyang added: “You can punish me, but you need a reason that convinces me, or I’m not doing it.”

The Main System, annoyed, simply kicked her into the next world. “Get out! If you destroy the plot again, I’ll hold you accountable!”

Xu Yangyang gave a casual OK gesture as she faded. “Don’t worry. If I see a plot I don’t like, I’ll destroy it for sure.”
