The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (4)

Zhang Yulan remained trapped in a state of shock and self-doubt for a long time, unable to snap out of it.

Xu Yangyang controlled the pace, her voice offering thoughtful comfort: “But Mom, you don’t need to worry too much. Dad has already agreed to let me work at the company.”

“With me there, I’ll keep both eyes on his every move.”

“Good.” Zhang Yulan’s thoughts returned to reality, and the more she looked at Xu Yangyang, the more satisfied she became. She had always liked people who were transparent and clever; clearly, Xu Yangyang’s current actions aligned perfectly with her interests and ideas.

Therefore, Zhang Yulan’s expression softened, and she treated this daughter with a rare kind face: “Go ahead and gain experience at the company; don’t be afraid of making mistakes. No matter what happens, Mom is behind you to back you up.”

This was exactly the sentence Xu Yangyang wanted. She smiled sincerely, “Thank you, Mom. You’re so good to me; I really love you, Mom.”

Sweet talk is always effective. Because of Xu Yangyang’s unmasked display of affection, a flash of guilt passed through Zhang Yulan’s heart, deeper than ever before.

Meng Zhichuan had a cold personality; he was indifferent to his mother and often showed a rebellious, disobedient streak. But her daughter was different. Not only did she share such a huge secret, but she was also fully considering her mother’s feelings, choosing to stand by her side without hesitation…

Zhang Yulan’s hardened heart melted slightly. “Come, accompany Mom for a shopping trip. I’ll buy you some new clothes.”

“The seasons are changing soon; it’s time you got some new things.”

Xu Yangyang nodded obediently. She didn’t proactively bring up the matter of changing rooms. Zhang Yulan didn’t think of it for a moment, but that wasn’t important.

When Zhang Yulan ordered the driver to take them home and personally accompanied Xu Yangyang to bring her new clothes and shoes back to the basement, Zhang Yulan’s expression stiffened. Her heart felt a pang of embarrassment and unease.

Xu Yangyang put the things down as if nothing were wrong, meticulously organizing them until Zhang Yulan’s guilt deepened further. Only then did she turn around. “Thank you, Mom. I really like the things you bought me today.”

Her thin face lifted into a smile in the dim light. Though her gaunt features were blurry and hard to see, her eyes were unnaturally bright and dazzling.

Zhang Yulan dazed for a moment. Staring at her daughter, she unexpectedly thought of her younger self. Her circumstances hadn’t been as good as Meng Rudeng’s, so she suffered a lot when she first married into the family. His family looked down on her for being a “country person”—crude and uneducated—and made things difficult for her at every turn, hoping she would back away.

But she had persisted, defeated all those elite heiresses and socialites, and successfully sat upon the glittering throne of Mrs. Meng. Though looking back now, it felt incredibly ironic.

“Stop tidying up.” Zhang Yulan tried her best to appear motherly. “The apartment I bought for you has finished renovations. Once I’m done with my work today, I’ll help you move over.”

This was, of course, a lie. In the past, she didn’t like her daughter and didn’t care about her, so it was impossible for her to have proactively bought her an apartment. She was simply moved by the scene at this moment; out of guilt, she chose an unimportant property under her name to gift to the girl, attempting to ease the burden of her own conscience.

Xu Yangyang didn’t expose the lie. Her eyes widened with surprise. “Really, Mom?!”

She feigned being moved to the point of jumping up to hug Zhang Yulan. In an instant, her eyes filled with tears. “Mom, you’re so good to me. In this whole family, you’re the one who treats me best.”

Zhang Yulan was extremely unaccustomed to her daughter’s physical touch. She suppressed the urge to push her away and said gently, “Mom owed you in the past. Don’t worry, Feifei—whatever your brother has, you will have too.”

“From now on, I won’t let you suffer a single grievance.”

Xu Yangyang was so “moved” that hot tears rolled down her face. Her eyes were red yet sparkling as she looked up at Zhang Yulan, her face full of joy.

Zhang Yulan couldn’t help but compare Xu Yangyang to Meng Zhichuan again. The saying that a daughter is a mother’s “warm little vest” was indeed true. The emotional value that Meng Zhichuan never provided was something Zhang Yulan felt in full from Xu Yangyang right now.

Infected by Xu Yangyang’s mood, she became happy as well. On the spot, she called for cleaners to tidy up the new apartment, preparing to help Xu Yangyang move the very next morning. That flat was very close to the company, which was perfect for Xu Yangyang’s commute.

Since she had a meeting with Jiang Ni’s parents in the afternoon, Zhang Yulan said her goodbyes to Xu Yangyang and left.

As soon as she was gone, the “moved” expression on Xu Yangyang’s face vanished instantly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The System watched in a daze—this face-changing speed was worthy of a grandmaster.

However, the Host was indeed powerful. In just a day or two, she had overturned her predicament and raised her status and treatment to the same level as Meng Zhichuan.

System 0357 perked up slightly, unable to help but pay more attention to Xu Yangyang.

Xu Yangyang didn’t know exactly what her mission was yet, but fighting for more rights for herself was never wrong. As a legitimate daughter of the Meng family, she didn’t want to live like a vagrant in a dark basement. If Meng Zhichuan had it, why shouldn’t she?

Her clothes were wrinkled and worn. Xu Yangyang looked down and sniffed them, then took a set of her new clothes to wash up and change her image. Meng Zhichuan, who was depressed due to his conflict with Fang Tingyang, heard the rustling and looked up to stare at her.

“Did you steal Mom and Dad’s money?” he asked.

Xu Yangyang ignored his “barking.” Like a caring sister, she slowly approached him. “Brother, your face looks terrible right now.”

“Is that Fang Tingyang bullying you?”

Having his wound touched, Meng Zhichuan lowered his head, his eyes immediately turning red as if he were about to cry. His silence was the best answer. Xu Yangyang patted his shoulder gently. “Brother, no matter what, I support you.”

“Go find him. I’ll help cover for you with Mom and Dad.”

Before she even finished, Meng Zhichuan lifted his face in surprise. “Really?!” A moment later, likely remembering being blackmailed by her the previous night, he suddenly became guarded. “Why would you help me?”

“We’re family.” Xu Yangyang tilted her head at him. “Biological siblings sharing the same blood, aren’t we?”

“If I don’t help you, who else can I help?”

Meng Zhichuan still didn’t drop his suspicion. Xu Yangyang put on a helpless smile. “Fine, actually, I have a favor to ask. I hope you’ll say more good things about me in front of Mom and Dad later.”

“I know you’ve always been their favorite, while for a daughter like me who was dumped in the countryside…” Her eyes dimmed, and she said dejectedly, “They basically have no feelings for me.”

This was true, and Meng Zhichuan had felt it for a long time.

“But I’m grown up now. Whether I go out to work or anything else, I have to rely on the family, or I’ll be at a disadvantage. So I want to make a trade with you.” Xu Yangyang showed a sincere expression. “You help me gain Mom and Dad’s favor, and I’ll cover for you. How about it?”

“You know my capabilities, Brother. Mom has known about you and Fang Tingyang for a while now, yet she hasn’t come to trouble you. Doesn’t that prove something?”

Meng Zhichuan was completely fooled by her. He wanted to argue but didn’t know where to start. After thinking for a moment, he happily agreed. “Fine. But I plan to go abroad for a half-month trip. Mom should be okay…” He hesitated. “But if I’m not at the company, Dad definitely won’t let me off easily.”

“It’s fine,” Xu Yangyang said mildly. “I’ll handle your work for you. You’ll only be responsible for the final review and check. How about it?”

This was exactly what Meng Zhichuan wanted to hear. He nodded on the spot. “Deal. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me.”

With that, he no longer cared about Xu Yangyang and hurried to pack his bags to chase after his husband.

Watching his hurried departure, a smile flickered on Xu Yangyang’s lips. System 0357 guessed her plan and thought she was happy because she achieved her goal easily. Who knew that her lips would open and coldly spit out two words: “What a fool.”

0357: “…” You’ve scolded Meng Zhichuan, so you can’t scold me anymore!

Things were progressing even more smoothly than she had imagined. While Meng Zhichuan was away, Xu Yangyang quickly took her 1.5 million to pave the way with the company and its clients.

Because this body was severely malnourished, she still looked like a student. But that didn’t matter. Under the power of money, Xu Yangyang quickly won people over. Thus, on her first day at the company, she received much convenience and help. Within a week, she had forcefully seized power and quietly snatched Meng Zhichuan’s portion as well.

Zhang Yulan eventually realized her son was missing. She called him repeatedly, but no one answered. Out of necessity, she found Xu Yangyang. “Feifei, have you seen your brother lately?”

Xu Yangyang’s expression was natural. “Brother went on a temporary business trip.”

Zhang Yulan’s expression darkened, feeling a bit of dissatisfaction. Xu Yangyang added: “He also said he’s going to pick out gifts for the whole family—and for Sister Jiang Ni too.”

Is that so? Whether it was true or not, Zhang Yulan’s face softened significantly. “He’s as willful as ever.” She muttered a few words. “Then never mind. Go back to your work.”

“By the way.” Zhang Yulan turned back after taking a few steps. “Jiang Ni is coming over for dinner tonight. Come home early.” She smiled. “She seems to care about you quite a bit.”

These words were just a step away from pointing a finger at Xu Yangyang and asking if she had some unspeakable relationship with Jiang Ni.

Xu Yangyang’s eyes showed three parts confusion, three parts daze, and four parts secret delight. “Then Mom, can I replace Brother and go on the blind date with Sister Jiang Ni?”

Zhang Yulan’s eyelids jumped, and she refused without a second thought. “No.”

“I’m warning you—don’t you dare set your sights on her.”

Xu Yangyang’s spirit deflated, her “fluffy” head drooping. She asked back with grievance and unwillingly, “So, are you planning to keep Sister Jiang Ni for yourself to get close to, Mom?”

Zhang Yulan looked like that “Old Man Squinting at his Phone” meme, suddenly fuming with anger. “?”

“Meng Fei, what kind of dog-shit talk is that?! Not everyone is like you, your dad, and your egg-less brother, interested in the same sex!”
