The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 33.3

Go find her real savior, thank them, love them, and repeat everything they’d done together with someone else?

The mere thought of this possibility filled Chi Jingyan’s heart with countless dark, twisted impulses. Jiang Mengyu wanted to love someone else?

Over her dead body!

Seeing Chi Jingyan remain silent, as if tacitly agreeing to her proposal, Jiang Mengyu squeezed her eyes shut. When she opened them again, they were calm.

“If you agree too, then there’s nothing left to say between us.”

She turned to leave, but after only a few steps, Chi Jingyan’s icy voice rang out behind her. “You think you can just walk away?”

“Jiang Mengyu, don’t forget we signed a contract.”

“Where exactly do you think you’ll go without me?”

“Back to that shabby rental of yours?”

Jiang Mengyu stopped in her tracks. “So you’d already planned this when we signed the contract, hadn’t you?”

“Yes.”

Chi Jingyan stared at Jiang Mengyu’s retreating figure, fists clenched. The young mistress didn’t know how to coax someone, she’d never had to. From the very beginning, it had always been Jiang Mengyu who yielded. Now, desperate to make her stay, Chi Jingyan was so flustered she began saying things she didn’t mean.

“You took my money. You’ll fulfill the contract.”

“The moment you step through that door, I’ll sue you for fraud tomorrow.”

“And I mean it.”

Jiang Mengyu remained silent for a long time so long that Chi Jingyan thought she wouldn’t speak again. But suddenly, Jiang Mengyu turned around, her eyes cold and desolate as she stared at Chi Jingyan. “Chi Jingyan, what exactly do you want from me?”

“What else is left on me that’s worth your attachment?”

“My pheromones?”

Chi Jingyan averted her gaze and said nothing.

“Have you finally decided to hand me over to Professor Chen?”

Jiang Mengyu paused. “Or is it that you can’t swallow your pride? You’re unwilling to accept that I uncovered the truth before you’d had your fill of playing with me, so you’re planning to keep me by your side for slow revenge?”

“Yes!” Chi Jingyan gritted her teeth.

“You sold yourself to me long ago. You have no right to decide whether you stay or leave. Even if you really want to go, you’ll have to wait until the day I grow tired of you and cast you aside. Only then will you have the right to leave!”

In short, Jiang Mengyu had no right to end things.

Jiang Mengyu’s heart turned completely cold. “I understand.”

Without hesitation, she turned and walked out. “Go ahead and sue me if you want.”

Chi Jingyan was at a loss. “Jiang Mengyu!”

The only response was the heavy slam of the door.

“Bang!”

The living room fell into silence once more. Chi Jingyan stood frozen in place like a lifeless statue.

She stared at the tightly shut door in the distance, her face betraying a rare hint of confusion.

Had Jiang Mengyu really left?

Would she be like last time, still waiting by the entrance for Chi Jingyan to call her back?

After a long silence, Chi Jingyan slowly shuffled toward the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob, hesitating for a while before pressing it down.

The entrance was empty—there was no trace of the figure she had hoped to see.

Jiang Mengyu had truly left.

…

When Jiang Mengyu left, she was only wearing a thin layer of clothing. The wind outside carried a biting chill.

Everyone she passed along the way was bundled up in coats, while she walked in just a short-sleeved shirt.

Jiang Mengyu moved at a leisurely pace, the cold wind tousling her hair. She casually tucked the strands behind her ear, her stunningly beautiful face devoid of any expression.

System 031 was on the verge of tears.

[Host!!!]

System 031 was growing increasingly baffled by Jiang Mengyu. [What exactly are you trying to achieve?!]

Everything had been going so well, Female Lead A’s emotions were stable, school matters were proceeding smoothly, and if nothing went wrong, they’d only have to wait two months to get the certification. So why was the host deliberately stirring up trouble now?!

Jiang Mengyu: “Didn’t you hear everything Assistant Zhou said earlier?”

Assistant Zhou had been sent by Chi Jingyan’s mother.

Recently, Chi Jingyan had been keeping Jiang Mengyu under such tight surveillance that Chi’s mother hadn’t found an opportunity to approach her. Tonight, finally seizing the chance while Chi Jingyan was away, Chi’s mother immediately sent someone over.

Assistant Zhou was efficient and direct. He didn’t waste words with Jiang Mengyu instead, he first showed her two videos.

The first was footage from Old Master Chi’s hospital room, where Chi Jingyan had openly admitted in front of the old man and her mother that she was only toying with Jiang Mengyu.

This video had likely been prepared under Old Master Chi’s orders, though for some reason, it had ended up in Chi’s mother’s hands. Still, the outcome was the same it was meant for Jiang Mengyu’s eyes eventually.

The second video showed the Chi and Chu families sitting together in a private dining room, chatting over a meal. The final segment captured Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao strolling through a garden.

Assistant Zhou spoke succinctly, “Miss Jiang, the madam and sir have sheltered the young mistress too well. She hasn’t experienced many interesting novelties in life, so when she happens upon them, it’s only natural she might become momentarily infatuated.”

“But the young mistress is the only daughter of the madam and sir, and in the future, she will be the sole heir of the Chi family. She has responsibilities and obligations she must fulfill.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Not once did he mention Jiang Mengyu’s family background, yet his words made it abundantly clear to her, she was unworthy of Chi Jingyan.

In the video, Chi Jingyan gazed intently at Chu Muyao across from her, her usually indifferent eyes tinged with a faint smile.

This was the destined couple that System 031 had spoken of—no matter the twists and turns, they were ultimately meant to be together.

Was that so?

Jiang Mengyu looked up at Assistant Zhou. “What does Madam Chi mean by this?”

“Madam hopes you will take the initiative to leave the young miss.”

“Miss Jiang, if you truly care for the young miss, you should understand that being entangled with an Alpha is not in her best interest.”

“Even if the young miss doesn’t get engaged to Miss Chu, there will always be other, more suitable Omegas.”

He emphasized the words “more suitable” heavily.

Jiang Mengyu: “…I understand Madam Chi’s meaning now.”

The conversation ended abruptly there.

System 031 was left speechless.

From this perspective, it did seem the host had no choice but to compromise. To avoid offending Madam Chi and causing conflict between her and Jingyan, Jiang Mengyu would have to feign cruelty and leave.

But was that really the case?

System 031 couldn’t shake the feeling that the host wasn’t the type to endure such grievances.

Jiang Mengyu, of course, wasn’t.

She had chosen this moment to lay her cards on the table because it was clear that Patriarch Chi was no longer of use. Previously, due to his critical condition, Chi Jingyan’s parents had temporarily overlooked Jiang Mengyu’s presence. But that didn’t mean they didn’t care.

Jiang Mengyu was certain that once they had the time, she would be their first target.

Tonight’s conversation with Assistant Zhou was merely Madam Chi’s initial probe.

Jiang Mengyu wasn’t afraid of Madam Chi’s retaliation, she had anticipated it. What she doubted was Chi Jingyan’s feelings for her.

Chi Jingyan might disregard her grandfather’s words, but what about her parents?

Jiang Mengyu didn’t believe Chi Jingyan would choose her over her own parents. So, she had to stack the odds in her favor.

Love that withstands death requires trials and tribulations. If things remained as uneventful as before, Chi Jingyan might grow tired of her soon enough.

Only when something once within grasp suddenly slips away does it create a sense of loss, breeding obsession.

Chi Jingyan sat alone in the living room until dawn.

Time blurred as her mind replayed Jiang Mengyu’s resolute gaze and icy words. This was her first time loving someone, and it had ended in such a dismal way.

She had cursed Jiang Mengyu countless times in her heart.

Yet, in the end, she still called Zhou Heng, her voice hoarse as she ordered, “Follow her.”

“I want to know exactly what she does and who she meets.”

Zhou Heng’s concerned words drifted through the phone, but an exhausted Chi Jingyan paid no heed.

She had already spent hours at the hospital, staying up late without rest. Just as she thought she could finally catch a break, Jiang Mengyu had blindsided her.

Now, Chi Jingyan was utterly drained. She rubbed her temples, her fingertips accidentally brushing the corner of her eye coming away damp.

Only then did she realize she had been crying.

Her fingers trembled as she touched her eyelids again, feeling the swollen, burning skin. Her eyes ached unbearably.

Chi Jingyan stared blankly at the tear on her fingertip.

Had she been crying for long?

Why hadn’t she noticed?

Recalling Jiang Mengyu’s resolute departure, Chi Jingyan couldn’t help but vigorously wipe away the moisture from her fingertips.

If Jiang Mengyu didn’t care anymore, what was the point of her crying herself blind?

That liar, Jiang Mengyu!!

Chi Jingyan furiously hurled all the throw pillows from the couch.

As her gaze inadvertently swept over the necklace on the coffee table, her muddled mind suddenly cleared for a moment, she remembered something.

Before she had returned last night, Jiang Mengyu had still been wearing the necklace. All she needed to do was retrieve the surveillance recording and listen carefully to find out what had really happened.

With that thought, Chi Jingyan immediately steeled herself, picked up the necklace, and headed into the study.

She had already guessed it.

There weren’t many people who could have done this.

But when Chi Jingyan heard the voice in the recording say that Madam Chi had sent him, she still couldn’t help but hold her breath.

So… was this the reason Jiang Mengyu had decided to leave her?

And those words she had said to Jiang Mengyu in her anger and heartbreak…
