The Mad Beauty and the Sick Young Lady [Transmigration Novel] - Chapter 12

The news of Ying Feiyan fainting at the gate of the Su family residence spread throughout the entire elite circle the next day.

Su Li slept soundly and didn’t wake up until noon. After she washed up and came out, she saw her phone vibrating frantically. It was a call from Guan Jingxian.

Guan Jingxian shouted excitedly on the other end of the line:

“Awesome! You’ve risen up, sister! You really did a splendid job this time! I honestly didn’t expect you to do something like that; you’re truly amazing!”

Su Li spoke in a drowsy state:

“What thing?”

Guan Jingxian rattled off words like a machine gun:

“The whole circle is talking about it today! They say our Diamond Top Alpha, Ying Feiyan, actually stood outside your house in the rain all night until she fainted! Everyone is looking at you with new eyes! I didn’t dare tell you when you first broke off the engagement, but everyone in the circle was waiting to watch you make a fool of yourself. After all, it’s a fact you liked her for eight years. But now, tsk tsk, as soon as the news of Ying Feiyan being rushed to the hospital spread, those people’s faces swelled up! They don’t dare speak in the group anymore, hahahahaha!”

Su Li listened quietly, took a bite of her tuna salad, and said indifferently:

“I didn’t do anything, and I don’t know the people you’re talking about. What they do has nothing to do with me.”

Guan Jingxian sounded very excited:

“Exactly! It’s this attitude of not caring about anything, that’s what truly strikes them! You’re incredible, you suddenly mastered it without a teacher!”

Su Li thought for a moment:

“Maybe I learned it from the big star Jiang. I feel like she’s a really nice person now.”

Guan Jingxian hesitated for a moment and asked:

“I’ve always wanted to ask you, what is your relationship with Jiang Zhuoye, and when did you meet? Is she really a Top Omega, or is she just pretending?”

Su Li pierced another piece of taro and put it in her mouth; the rich, sweet flavor spread:

“She didn’t have any reaction when she rescued me last time, so I’m sure she’s a Top Omega. As for what our relationship is… right now, I guess we’re friends.”

Guan Jingxian ‘tsk’:

“Although being friends with a celebrity isn’t big news in our circle, for someone like you, who rarely goes out, suddenly having a friend who is a wealthy movie queen is astonishing… Can I tell other people about this?”

Su Li:

“No, keep it a secret for me. I don’t want to affect Jiang Zhuoye.”

Guan Jingxian agreed and then said:

“There’s a small gathering group that wants you to join. Actually, they just want to get close and gossip, you don’t have to pay attention to them, but you can go to the gathering. Maybe you can make a few more friends, what do you think? Should I add you to the group?”

Su Li remembered something, flipped through her small desk, and found her bucket list to look at.

One item was: Attend a gathering hosted by peers.

Immediately followed by another. Make friends at the gathering.

Perhaps this was an opportunity? Su Li agreed. As soon as the call ended, Guan Jingxian added her to a WeChat group.

Su Li joined but didn’t know what to say, so she stayed put, watching the messages in the group constantly scroll up.

Angelica chen: “Wow, a newcomer, is it the third Miss Su? I’ve never met her, have any of you?”

Mr. Zhang: “This third young lady rarely appears in social situations. Is she coming to our gathering? That’s great, I look forward to it!”

Little Fairy: “The third young lady is quite the ruthless character. It is said that Ying Feiyan is still lying in the hospital! I wonder what poor Feiyan went through! And I wonder what kind of peerless beauty the third young lady is, to make Feiyan swallow her pride to apologize, yet still not accept it!”

Angelica chen: “Oh, Fairy, don’t say that. I believe the third young lady didn’t mean it either. I heard she is not well; she should have just been asleep last night. I know you feel bad for Feiyan, and I feel bad for her, too, but I also admire Miss Su for being so decisive.”

Little Fairy: “Heh heh, you don’t know who the woman was who crazily chased Feiyan for eight years; she had long become a joke herself, and now she’s coming to pretend to be decisive and mature! How boring.”

Angelica chen: “Fairy, don’t talk like that! Miss Su, please don’t be angry, our Fairy is just a bit too outspoken, ha!”

Li Muhao: “Angie, I believe Miss Su won’t mind. I’m really looking forward to meeting you!”

Angelica chen: “Thank you, Brother Hao, I want to see you soon, too.”

Mr. Zhang: “Angie, can I go pick you up early? We can drive around the area.”

Angelica chen: “Ah! But a friend is coming to pick me up! I’m sorry! Can you take me home this time?”

Su Li stared at the messages scrolling in the group, showing the complicated expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

She knew that when peers gathered, there would inevitably be some maneuvering and infighting… but facing this messy stuff head-on for the first time, she felt it was a bit funny. As long as she wasn’t provoked, she could see right through these childish tactics.

It seemed that this Angelica chen was the backbone, the popular one, the Queen of the Sea King herself, in this gathering, and there were probably several ‘fish’ of hers in the group.

And this Little Fairy… she was wholeheartedly trying to right the wrong for Ying Feiyan, which reminded Su Li of someone.

As a Top Alpha, Ying Feiyan naturally had many suitors. Among the more well-known ones, besides Su Li, who was a long time suitor, sickly, and mysterious, there was also a woman named Yu Xianxian, who had been launching a fierce offensive to pursue Ying Feiyan in the past two years.

This Miss Yu Xianxian was very bold in her approach, pursuing people by simply throwing money at them. Little things like a car full of flowers or renting out an entire movie theater had been done many times. Even the very isolated Su Li knew about this person, who was a strong love rival.

It seemed this gathering would be quite interesting.

Su Li was still under house arrest and didn’t care about Ying Feiyan’s condition. She sat at her desk and once again started creating her serialized comic.

She drew stroke by stroke, the corner of her mouth curling into a smile.

The section she was currently drawing was about last night’s events: the female lead, Miss Sick, was awakened by the sound of the wind and rain and called Miss Yezi in the middle of the night. Miss Yezi used various methods to coax Miss Sick to sleep. Miss Sick finally fell asleep, and when she woke up, the rain had stopped.

She deliberately concealed many heavy things in the comic, such as Ying Feiyan deliberately seducing her and causing her to go into heat. What she was recording now, besides daily life, were the details of Miss Yezi and Miss Sick’s interactions.

Sure enough, after this chapter was posted, the comments instantly surged:

“Another day of shipping Miss Yezi and Miss Sick! It’s too sweet, coaxing you to sleep and all, I’m melting!”

“I really want to know if these are the author’s real experiences? It feels so real and full of details!”

“The author’s drawing skills are great. It’s rare to see such a beautiful comic. Please update and fatten up quickly~ Also, is Miss Feifei, who was previously dumped, really not going to have any more screen time? She was quite good-looking, a bit of a shame.”

“Miss Feifei is not as good-looking as Miss Yezi. I feel like the author used 5 points of effort to draw Miss Feifei, but 20 points for Miss Yezi! Miss Yezi is exactly my type!”

“In short, Miss Yezi and Miss Sick are locked, and I swallowed the key!”

Su Li scrolled through the comments one by one. Her editor told her she could selectively reply to some content but to try not to reveal spoilers or commit to any specific pairing. So, she ambiguously replied with some emojis.

The less certain things are, the more appealing they become. Soon, the ‘Miss Yezi and Miss Sick’ pairing grew stronger and even got a CP name, “Coconut Cake” (Ye Zi Bing). It had become one of the most attractive comics on the platform.

Su Li was satisfied, feeling that the item “become an internet celebrity” on her bucket list was within reach.

She then opened the auction platform website and casually glanced at it. After her painting fetched a high price, a dedicated person from the platform contacted her. In addition to transferring the money, they also wanted to book other works.

Su Li rummaged through her studio, found a few more paintings, and sent them all to the auction platform.

A few days later.

After being discharged from the hospital, Ying Feiyan practically lived at the company. Her work wasn’t that busy, but she just didn’t want to go home, even if she was just randomly browsing the web in her office.

She accidentally clicked on an auction platform, and just as she was about to close it due to lack of interest, she saw two familiar paintings up for auction.

Ying Feiyan certainly recognized these two paintings because she had stood next to Su Li and watched her paint them!

One was a sunrise viewed from the window. Ying Feiyan still remembered Su Li smiling gently and saying to her:

“This was the day after I met you when I was 16. I didn’t sleep all night, and I saw this sunrise. It’s only so beautiful because of you.”

Ying Feiyan felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it was being squeezed in someone’s hand, with nowhere to escape.

What was she thinking back then? Oh, she thought: Little thing, you’ve never seen the world. This painting isn’t that great either.

Ying Feiyan remembered that she was very young then, a little reckless, and she said to Su Li:

“Are you saying all this to move me? Unfortunately, I’m hard to impress.”

Ying Feiyan couldn’t recall Su Li’s expression at the time.

But now, she only wanted to go back in time and beat up her past self.

Her hand trembled slightly on the mouse. She clicked on that painting, clicked to join the auction, and then clicked on the other painting to bid on it as well.

The auction lasted for three hours. Initially, Ying Feiyan was the only one bidding on both paintings, but in the last half hour, an anonymous user suddenly appeared and bid against her.

In the end, both paintings were won by the anonymous user.

Ying Feiyan’s fingers gripped the mouse, her whole body trembling. She bit her teeth hard and swept all the documents on her office desk to the floor.

She suddenly got up, went downstairs to her car, and drove towards the Su family residence, speeding all the way.

It was nine o’clock at night. Su Li and Jiang Zhuoye were on the phone. Since that night of being coaxed to sleep, Jiang Zhuoye would call Su Li every night before bed to chat, not about anything serious.

“Hmm… that movie. I only remember the supporting actress was very beautiful, and the male lead’s personal character wasn’t great. I once threw a drink at him.”

Jiang Zhuoye’s voice was slow and soft, and the sound of flipping pages came through as she spoke.

“Pfft, how many people have you thrown drinks at? I feel like I’ve heard you mention it in an interview before!”

Su Li lay on the bed, focused on the call. Jiang Zhuoye’s voice was so pleasant, like soft cotton candy, perfect for soothing her mind before sleep.

“Let me count… well, one, two, three… maybe forty-something.”

“Huh? You’re lying, how is that possible!”

“It’s true. Or maybe I misremembered; it was fifty.”

“There’s no way. I don’t believe it unless you prove it to me!”

“How can I prove that? Oh, I know. The next time, I’ll throw a drink at someone right in front of you, and then you’ll understand.”

“Even that wouldn’t prove you threw drinks at fifty people…”

“You’ll know by the level of my proficiency…”

“You’re just lying…”

“Pretty women all lie. You have to keep your eyes peeled.”

“Are you going to lie to me?”

“…It’s getting late. Go to sleep, little girl.”

Jiang Zhuoye chuckled lightly after she finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Su Li held her phone, deep in thought.

She understood Jiang Zhuoye less and less… but she was also enjoying the time they spent together more and more.

As expected, only an Omega truly understands an Omega.
