The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 46

The One Who Woke Up Was Not Jiang Mengyu

Contrary to her expectations, no blood blossomed before her eyes. Chi Jingyan’s hands trembled uncontrollably.

There had never been any bullets in the gun. Jiang Mengyu had deceived her until the very end.

The scent of jasmine seemed to vanish in an instant.

The physical restraints disappeared in a flash, and Chi Jingyan stumbled back two steps, her strength failing her. But before she could even process the situation, Jiang Mengyu’s body suddenly collapsed.

Without a second thought, Chi Jingyan reached out and caught her. Her eyes widened as she looked down, the person in her arms had tightly shut eyes, lips nearly bloodless, clearly having already passed out.

What had happened to Jiang Mengyu?!

Chi Jingyan could no longer care about anything else. The overwhelming relief of having her back consumed her entirely. She let the gun fall to the ground, not even sparing a glance at the unconscious Chi Jia. Clutching Jiang Mengyu tightly, she pressed the communicator.

The sound of hurried footsteps soon followed. When Zhou Heng entered, he saw this scene: Chi Jingyan, disheveled, holding the person in her arms with desperate strength, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at him.

“Save her!”

She certainly wasn’t referring to Chi Jia.

Zhou Heng’s heart clenched.

He rushed Chi Jingyan and Jiang Mengyu to the hospital at top speed, leaving the aftermath to Chi Jingyan’s parents, who arrived in a panic upon hearing the news.

Chi Jia was taken away.

Just as Jiang Mengyu had said, she had indeed injected Chi Jia with the drug. His pheromones were now completely disordered.

An Alpha who couldn’t control their pheromones and required long-term medication to alleviate their suffering would never find support.

Chi Jia truly could no longer pose even the slightest threat to Chi Jingyan.

But Chi Jingyan no longer cared. Her heart and mind were solely occupied by Jiang Mengyu.

The moment she saw Jiang Mengyu placed on the hospital bed, Chi Jingyan passed out. She remained unconscious for a full day and night before finally stirring from the haze.

The scene before her spun dizzily. Chi Jingyan pressed a hand to her throbbing temples, her head still heavy and muddled. But soon, she remembered something and abruptly tried to sit up.

“Jiang Mengyu!”

“Be careful!” The latter exclamation came from Chi Jingyan’s mother.

It took Chi Jingyan a while to adjust, her body slowly regaining its bearings. She turned to see her mother sitting by the bed, watching her with deep concern.

Compared to before, Madam Chi’s face was noticeably haggard, her usual composure nowhere to be found.

“Mom…” Chi Jingyan’s voice was hoarse. She couldn’t bother with anything else, her first question was about Jiang Mengyu.

“How is she?”

Madam Chi’s expression darkened. “She’s not dead.”

In fact, Jiang Mengyu had woken up even earlier than Chi Jingyan.

At this, Chi Jingyan immediately threw off the covers. “Where is she?”

Only after seeing Jiang Mengyu with her own eyes and confirming she was alright could she finally rest easy.

“Chi Jingyan!” Madam Chi’s chest heaved with anger, her eyes red. “Look at the state you’re in…”

That Alpha had hurt her so badly, yet Chi Jingyan still only had thoughts for her!

Chi Jingyan paused. Her face was pale and weary, her voice soft. “I know, but I…”

She couldn’t live without Jiang Mengyu.

The moment Chi Jingyan heard the truth from Jiang Mengyu’s lips, she truly wished she could strangle her to death. She had never been toyed with and deceived like this before, she had eagerly offered up her sincere heart, only to realize the other had been calculating against her from the very beginning, treating her affection with utter disdain.

The hatred in Chi Jingyan’s heart was real.

But she never truly wanted Jiang Mengyu to die.

Even at the peak of her fury, Chi Jingyan only thought of locking Jiang Mengyu away.

Didn’t Jiang Mengyu dislike her?

With a dark, twisted thought, Chi Jingyan believed that if she kept Jiang Mengyu confined long enough, forcing her to interact with no one but herself, Jiang Mengyu would eventually develop feelings for her.

She never expected Jiang Mengyu would choose to end her own life. It wasn’t until Jiang Mengyu guided her hand to pull the trigger that Chi Jingyan realized compared to all the deception, what she truly wanted was for Jiang Mengyu to live.

Even if this person didn’t love her back, as long as she stood before her, safe and sound, that would be enough.

The despair when the gun fired, followed by the overwhelming relief upon discovering there had been no bullet, sent Chi Jingyan’s emotions on a rollercoaster of extremes. Now, she could think of nothing else but seeing with her own eyes, was Jiang Mengyu truly still alive?

Surely this wasn’t just a dream.

Bloodshot veins crept into Chi Jingyan’s eyes. “I just want to see her.”

Her mother’s lips parted and closed, finally releasing only a sigh. “She’s perfectly fine. I’ll have someone bring her over right away. Just lie still and don’t move.”

Chi Jingyan’s breath hitched.

Would Jiang Mengyu really come?

If she hadn’t left, did that mean she still cared for her? Maybe everything had just been one of Jiang Mengyu’s cruel jokes from the start?

Chi Jingyan waited eagerly.

The door to the hospital room soon opened from the outside, and the person she had been longing to see appeared before her.

She looked well, no visible injuries, her spirits seemingly high.

But in an instant, Chi Jingyan sensed something was wrong.

No. This wasn’t right.

The face before her was both familiar and foreign, identical to the one in her memories yet somehow fundamentally altered.

Chi Jingyan murmured, “No…”

“What?” Her mother didn’t catch it.

“She’s not Jiang Mengyu.”

Chi Jingyan’s eyes reddened instantly, the madness and despair in them chilling to behold. “She’s not!”

Her mother panicked. “Jingyan, what’s wrong with you?”

If this wasn’t Jiang Mengyu, then who was she?

Though Jiang Mengyu had been heartless scheming against Jingyan, then attempting to leave without regard for her well-being after regaining consciousness , Chi Jingyan’s mother had forcibly detained her, much to Jiang Mengyu’s displeasure.

But this was undeniably Jiang Mengyu, unmistakably her.

Chi Jingyan stared fixedly at the figure before her, trembling uncontrollably. “She’s gone. She really left…”

Jiang Mengyu had deceived her countless times, but this time, she hadn’t lied.

Her farewell had been real.

The world spun before her eyes. After hope had been crushed by despair, her strained nerves could bear no more. Pale as a ghost, Chi Jingyan clutched her chest and fainted once more.

“Jingyan!!”

Her mother was terrified, and the others erupted into chaos. Two rushed out to fetch a doctor while the rest crowded around Chi Jingyan, monitoring her condition.

“Jiang Mengyu” remained expressionless, her eyes devoid of any emotion. Compared to her previous calm, her demeanor now seemed more like mechanical indifference.

Mother Chi turned and saw her, her anger flaring even higher. Though she didn’t understand why Chi Jingyan insisted this person wasn’t Jiang Mengyu, the mere thought that all this turmoil stemmed from her made Mother Chi despise her even more.

“Keep an eye on her,” Mother Chi said coldly. “Jingyan might want to see her when she wakes up.”

“Jiang Mengyu” was taken away.

This time, Chi Jingyan didn’t remain unconscious for long, she woke up after about half an hour. But her spirit seemed far worse than before, as if all vitality had been rapidly drained from her. She was eerily quiet.

“Jingyan,” Mother Chi called, her heart aching at the sight. “Talk to me, sweetheart.”

The current Chi Jingyan frightened her.

It was as if she had lost all hope for the future.

“I didn’t do anything to Jiang Mengyu. She’s fine.”

Though Mother Chi would have loved to tear Jiang Mengyu apart, the thought of Chi Jingyan’s obsession with her forced her to suppress her hatred.

Mother Chi couldn’t understand. She had let Chi Jingyan see Jiang Mengyu as requested, so why did her daughter still wear such an expression?

She didn’t dare dwell on it.

Afraid that her daughter had been pushed too far, that her mind might have snapped.

Chi Jingyan remained silent for a long time before suddenly throwing off the covers again. “I need to talk to her.”

She refused to give up. She had to confirm it one more time.

Maybe she had just imagined it earlier?

Unable to stop her, Mother Chi could only let her go.

Chi Jingyan walked slowly, torn between wanting to see Jiang Mengyu and dreading it, terrified that her suspicions might be true.

Mother Chi had temporarily confined “Jiang Mengyu” in a hospital room. When the bodyguard opened the door, Chi Jingyan paused at the threshold, hesitating before finally stepping inside.

The person sat on the bed with her back turned, glancing over at the sound of footsteps.

The moment their eyes met, the last flicker of hope in Chi Jingyan’s heart died.

It really wasn’t her.

Her body went weak. Unaware of how red her eyes had become, Chi Jingyan stared blankly at the figure before her, barely remembering to breathe.

“Jiang Mengyu” stood and approached her. “Ayan, when can I leave?”

Disgust and horror surged through Chi Jingyan. Her face remained blank. “Don’t call me that.”

“Jiang Mengyu” paused, then smoothly corrected herself. “Classmate Chi.”

Classmate Chi.

The realization struck Chi Jingyan like a blow. Before the real Jiang Mengyu had arrived, this person had addressed her exactly like that, back then, her tone had been even more mocking, dripping with provocation and disdain.

Everything had simply reverted to how it was before.

Yet Chi Jingyan couldn’t bear it.

Suddenly losing control, she lunged forward, gripping the other’s throat, her fingers tightening mercilessly, leaving no room for breath. “Where is Jiang Mengyu?! Where did she go?”

“Give her back to me!”

The person in front of her twisted in pain from the lack of air, but upon closer inspection, Chi Jingyan realized the agony was only skin-deep beneath it, those eyes remained cold and indifferent.

How had she never noticed before?

Chi Jingyan watched coldly as the person kept pawing at her hand, forcing out a few strained words from her throat: “Chi… classmate?”

This wasn’t Jiang Mengyu. Jiang Mengyu would never do such a thing, nor would she ever wear such an expression.

She would only look at her calmly, perhaps even telling her to squeeze harder.

For a fleeting moment, Chi Jingyan genuinely wanted to strangle the person before her to death.

But she quickly released her grip. No, if this person died, what if Jiang Mengyu returned one day? Wouldn’t there be no body left for her to use?

“Jiang Mengyu” clutched her chest, coughing incessantly, her face flushed crimson.

Chi Jingyan stood before her with an icy expression, taking in every bit of her disheveled state.

She wasn’t Jiang Mengyu. Chi Jingyan didn’t care how miserable she felt, she couldn’t even bear to spare her another glance.

“Keep an eye on her,” she said to the bodyguard behind her.

Chi Jingyan cast one last look at “Jiang Mengyu” before turning away without hesitation.

Her back was ramrod straight, but the moment she stepped out of the hospital room, she had to brace herself against the wall, gasping for breath. Her face was devoid of color, her eyes clouded with thick, inky darkness and a despair so deep it seemed bottomless.

Would Jiang Mengyu, really come back?
