The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (9)

After cleaning up Su Rui’s latest mess, Xu Yangyang collapsed onto her bed, utterly exhausted.

Not long after, a knock sounded at the door.

Xu Yangyang turned her head. “Who is it?”

“Feifei, it’s me.” Zhang Yulan’s voice came from outside. After considering her mother’s potential motives for a moment, she rose to open the door. “Mom, do you need something?”

Zhang Yulan had just finished a row with Meng Rudeng. Her meticulously styled hair was a bit disheveled, but that didn’t hide her current awkwardness and anxiety. “I wanted to ask you something.”

She didn’t look like she was about to ask about anything honorable, so Xu Yangyang let her in.

Zhang Yulan stood to one side, refusing to sit. Once Xu Yangyang closed the door, she got straight to the point: “Feifei, what do you think of Jiang Ni?”

“She’s great,” Xu Yangyang replied calmly, wearing an innocent smile. “I like her a lot.”

Zhang Yulan’s expression contorted briefly before returning to normal. She pretended not to hear the second half of Xu Yangyang’s sentence and continued: “Then tell me, what would you think about her becoming your sister-in-law?”

Xu Yangyang fell silent. Zhang Yulan’s heart tightened—as she feared. The thing she least wanted to see was indeed happening.

But Xu Yangyang was merely thinking. When she finished, she asked very seriously, “Does Brother agree?” Xu Yangyang added fuel to the fire: “Right now, Brother’s head is filled with nothing but that Fang Tingyang. He’s making a life-and-death scene over him, he can’t even eat.”

“…Stop it.”

Zhang Yulan felt her blood pressure rising. She gnashed her teeth. “Don’t worry about your brother for a second. I’m asking you if you think it’s a good idea.”

Under 0357’s mechanics, Xu Yangyang couldn’t lie, so she shook her head: “I have no objection.”

Zhang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, only for Xu Yangyang to pull the topic back in the next second. “But Mom, whether I have an objection doesn’t matter. What matters is if Brother has one.”

“And Sister Jiang Ni.”

“If she and her family later find out that our family intentionally hid Brother’s situation, ruining her happiness and reputation, what would they think? Could our families’ relationship even continue then?”

The Meng family was a prestigious household, ranking high even among the top social classes. Xu Yangyang felt there was no need for Zhang Yulan to fall out with another wealthy family over a marriage and become sworn enemies. Not only would it lower their own status, but they would also become the laughingstock of everyone’s tea-time gossip.

Zhang Yulan naturally understood this logic. Reminded again by Xu Yangyang, she couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

Matters of the heart truly couldn’t be forced.

She suddenly felt exhausted, as tired as if she had been turning screws in an electronics factory for a month without sleep.

Zhang Yulan left Xu Yangyang’s room in a daze. Before going, she asked out of the blue, “Feifei, what would you think if I had another son… or a daughter for you?”

“Another brother or sister like me and my brother?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yulan suddenly snapped awake. She looked at Xu Yangyang, wanting to speak but stopping. Finally, after a long silence, she came to a realization and summarized: “I understand. Ultimately, this is all your father’s fault.”

Xu Yangyang faced her for a moment, her mind whirring. She asked tentatively: “So Mom, are you planning to have a secret affair and then quietly get pregnant to shock us all?”

Zhang Yulan: “…”

Hey, don’t say it… actually, don’t say it, that really might be a brilliant idea.

Zhang Yulan didn’t answer. She hurried away and vanished from Xu Yangyang’s sight. Judging by her expression, she had actually taken Xu Yangyang’s nonsense to heart.

0357 couldn’t help but speak up: “Host, does it benefit you at all if this family falls apart?”

“No benefit,” Xu Yangyang replied after thinking for a while. “I’m just naturally wicked and want to cause a bit of destruction.”

Amidst 0357’s deathly silence, Xu Yangyang smiled: “Even though the mission hasn’t officially started, I haven’t forgotten how this family treated Meng Fei in the beginning.”

“Just because I’m capable and clever and changed my situation quickly doesn’t mean the scars don’t itch when the wound heals.”

“You know, villains hold the longest grudges.”

Is that so? 0357 grumbled internally. But you’ve given Su Rui one pass after another.

Su Rui was indeed unreliable; she caused at least one disaster a day. Her constitution was so uniquely strange that Xu Yangyang almost wanted to send her to the Academy of Sciences for dissection and study.

But the good thing about Su Rui was that she admitted her mistakes and changed.

Xu Yangyang watched Su Rui diligently taking notes on her instructions on sticky labels, looking very serious and focused. A certain meme automatically appeared in her mind: Just smile and let it go.

Su Rui’s attitude was good, but she just had the kind of constitution where she could mess up even the simplest task. Fortunately, Xu Yangyang didn’t need Su Rui to solve any major problems yet, so keeping such a rare “little creature” around was insignificant.

After dismissing Su Rui, Xu Yangyang looked at the project report in her hand, pondering the possibility of a promotion.

Meng Zhichuan was already the CEO, while she wasn’t even a General Manager. Right now, it was only because the plot hadn’t officially started; otherwise, with her current status, she’d be at most a piece of cannon fodder who only lives for two episodes.

She scratched her hair and decided to find some “fun” for Meng Rudeng.

Meng Rudeng had been having a very unpleasant time with Zhang Yulan lately, which gave him the urge to find a “soulmate” outside. Today, after meeting a project partner at a club, a certain man happened to catch his eye.

The man was striking and had a bold, fiery personality. After just a few minutes of interaction, the old fellow’s heart beat faster than a pile driver. He fell for it uncontrollably, actively added the man’s contact info, and gallantly offered to drive him home after the session.

Xu Yangyang appeared at the perfect moment, looking shocked. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him. “You old fellow!”

Meng Rudeng’s brain went buzz, suddenly becoming a blank slate. He snapped to his senses, forgetting all about beauty, and hurriedly pulled Xu Yangyang aside. “Feifei, don’t tell your mother about this, okay?”

Wait— Nothing had actually happened between him and that person, so why did he look like a thief with a guilty conscience?

Just as he was about to explain, Xu Yangyang cast her spell first, questioning him in a heavy tone: “Dad, how can you do this to Mom? She bore your children, managed this home for you, and has always been faithful without a single improper thought.”

“I am truly disappointed in you.”

The speech made Meng Rudeng look ashamed, and he even forgot to argue. He could only make useless, dry excuses. “Nothing has happened between us yet, really. We only met today for the first time; we aren’t even familiar.”

However, Xu Yangyang’s reaction was even bigger: “You’re already taking him home after the first meeting?”

“After you drop him off, he invites you in, you agree, and then you’re all over each other, a raging fire. Everything that should and shouldn’t happen happens—what is Mom supposed to do?!”

Xu Yangyang looked at him as if he were scum.

Meng Rudeng’s old face flushed. “Feifei, as long as you keep your mouth shut about this, I’ll grant you anything you want.”

“Fine, I want the company,” Xu Yangyang said. “Otherwise, I’m calling Mom—”

“No,” Meng Rudeng flatly refused. “You’re a girl, what do you need such a big company for? Besides, if you take the company, what about your brother?”

“I’ll promote you to General Manager. No more than that.”

Xu Yangyang feigned difficulty, hesitating for a long time before agreeing. “Fine then. Dad, you have to keep your word. I just recorded a video.”

Meng Rudeng, who had planned to trick her and then “forget” the promise: “…”

Treacherous.

Having achieved her goal, Xu Yangyang raised an eyebrow at the “pretty young thing.” The man winked back. As soon as Xu Yangyang left, he immediately started a scene with Meng Rudeng, refusing to let it go: “You have a child and you’re still out here flirting?”

“A toad trying to be a prince; you’re ugly but you sure play dirty.”

After slapping Meng Rudeng, the man swayed his hips and vanished quickly. Meng Rudeng clutched his stinging face, feeling something was wrong but unable to describe it. Finally, he chalked it up to bad luck, spat twice to clear the “jinx,” and hurried away.

Xu Yangyang successfully got her promotion. Su Rui even dug deep into her meager “salary” to buy Xu Yangyang a gift. It was an intricately designed brooch, versatile for daily wear.

Xu Yangyang was a bit surprised. Su Rui looked bashful. “Thank you, General Manager, for your tolerance and guidance these past few days. Congratulations on your promotion.”

“Thank you.” Xu Yangyang smiled, this time with a bit more sincerity.

Besides Su Rui, Jiang Ni also brought a gift. Zhang Yulan watched the two for a moment, and seeing no unusual atmosphere, she tactfully left the space to them.

Jiang Ni’s gift was an emerald necklace. The pendant was set with pavé diamonds, glittering brilliantly in the light. Combined with the deep green gemstone, it looked mysterious and noble.

The necklace must have cost a fortune. Xu Yangyang tried to decline. “This won’t do, Sister. Your well-wishes are enough, why bring something so expensive?”

“Because I thought it suited you, so I bought it.” Jiang Ni’s excuse was perfect. “Try it on. It’s already bought; I have no use for it other than for you.”

Since she put it that way, Xu Yangyang had to comply.

Jiang Ni unclasped the necklace. Xu Yangyang lifted her long hair with one hand, standing obediently for Jiang Ni to put it on her.

Suddenly, Zhang Yulan remembered something she forgot to tell Xu Yangyang. She searched from downstairs and finally found her in her room.

Before she could even step inside, Zhang Yulan saw a room filled with a romantic atmosphere and pink bubbles. From the side, Xu Yangyang looked normal, but Jiang Ni was completely different. That look in her eyes… even a blind person could sense something was wrong!

The words Zhang Yulan was about to shout got stuck in her throat. She stood at the door, her body stiff—unsure whether to go in or stay out.

Should she interrupt them?
