The Plan to Save the Villainess Supporting Actress [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 39

Chasing a Girlfriend for My Wife – Day 8

Later on, neither of the two could remember what that movie was actually about.

Nan Zhi was sleepy, and Xi Zhenyi felt bitter.

However, not long after the opening credits, Nan Zhi finally told Xi Zhenyi why she had gone to Bayuan by typing it out, mostly to stop Xi Zhenyi’s tireless pestering. Unexpectedly, Xi Zhenyi did not try to stop her. Instead, after a moment of contemplation, she simply said, “Good luck.”

Nan Zhi could not help but glare at her several times. This did not seem like that angry, greasy tyrant CEO at all. Had she changed her personality so quickly? Since her mouth was covered in ointment and the pain had not dissipated, Nan Zhi chose not to ask further.

The next morning, as Xi Zhenyi had predicted, Nan Zhi still found it difficult to open her mouth despite the ointment. The moment she tried to speak, her lower lip stung. A very obvious bright red mark, shaped like a small crescent moon, sat on the wound. When Nan Zhi opened her mouth, the crescent moon immediately became a “Crescent Spring,” specifically the kind that flowed with red spring water.

The blood coagulation ability of this body was indeed quite poor. She would have to be careful in the future, as any more bumps or scratches would be troublesome.

Since she could not wear lipstick today, Nan Zhi decided not to wear makeup at all. She used a simple tone-up cream as a base and used the medicinal ointment as a lip balm. Dressed in a simple hoodie and jeans with black-framed glasses and her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked as clean and fresh as a university freshman.

After tidying up and heading downstairs, she saw, for the first time, Xi Zhenyi sitting at one end of the long table waiting for her. Nan Zhi arched an eyebrow, expressing her confusion with a look. Normally, Xi Zhenyi would have disappeared without a trace long ago. Was the sun rising from the west today?

Seeing Nan Zhi come downstairs, Xi Zhenyi quickly stood up and moved a chair aside, gesturing for Nan Zhi to sit. As if reading Nan Zhi’s mind, Xi Zhenyi leaned in almost sneakily, checking to see if anyone was nearby before whispering in her ear, “Did you not tell me to chase you? I have decided to eat breakfast with you every day from now on and then drive you to work.”

After saying this, she immediately blinked, wearing a well-behaved expression that practically begged for praise.

Nan Zhi thought that it was really not necessary.

She had her own “Little Blue” car. Why should she carpool with Xi Zhenyi? What if Xi Zhenyi intentionally did not come to pick her up? She immediately shook her head in refusal and pointed a finger toward the front door: Get lost.

Xi Zhenyi replied, “I will take silence as your consent. Miss Nan, starting today, I am responsible for picking you up and dropping you off at work.”

Nan Zhi: “You”

Damn! It hurts!

“I forgot to mention,” Xi Zhenyi sat back down across from Nan Zhi and took a sip of her coffee, “once you apply that ointment, it will be very painful if you pull at the wound before it is fully healed.”

Nan Zhi gave Xi Zhenyi a fierce glare.

When they finished breakfast and reached the underground garage, Nan Zhi realized Xi Zhenyi was being serious. She stared at the empty parking spaces with wide eyes, spreading her hands as if to ask: Where is my car?

My “Little Orange”! I have not even used it a few times! And my “Little Purple,” that was a brand-new “Little Purple”!

Xi Zhenyi curled her red lips and shook the keys at Nan Zhi, looking a bit smug. “Well, Miss Nan, are you getting into my car or not?”

Nan Zhi glanced at her silently, debating whether she should just call a taxi. It was not for any other reason; she simply did not want to see Xi Zhenyi’s successful, smug face.

“Miss Nan would not be thinking of calling a taxi, would she? You cannot get a taxi around here.” Xi Zhenyi pulled open the passenger door and patted it with a smile. “Are we going, Miss?”

Nan Zhi looked up, staring at Xi Zhenyi in silence. The two stood in a standoff for a long while before Xi Zhenyi finally admitted defeat, coaxing her, “I was wrong, Miss Nan. Miss Nan, I beg you, do me the honor of riding in my car.”

Nan Zhi let out a soft huff. That was more like it.

The only thing that bothered her was being called “Miss Nan” repeatedly. Xi Zhenyi stopped calling her “Wife,” but switching to “Miss Nan” felt even stranger. When others said it, it was a perfectly normal form of address, but coming from Xi Zhenyi, it felt inexplicably awkward.

Nan Zhi pulled on her seatbelt and buckled it. She thought it was probably because Xi Zhenyi was not sincere or respectful enough. After all, she did not even call her own secretaries by their names, opting to give them numbers instead. It was so rude! Therefore, she was definitely not calling her “Miss Nan” with genuine intent. There was surely some underlying attitude. Yes, that must be it.

The Phantom parked arrogantly in front of the Bayuan entrance. Passing employees cast curious glances at the luxury car. After a moment, someone who looked like a student got out and slammed the car door without hesitation.

Passersby thought, “Good heavens, that is a Phantom. Is one allowed to slam the door like that?”

Xi Zhenyi, sitting in the driver’s seat, did not mind. If Miss Nan wanted to slam it, she could slam it. It was no big deal. What she cared about more was whether that person had seen her dropping Miss Nan off at work.

Xi Zhenyi squinted her eyes with a smile, scanning the top floors of the building. It was not until the secretarial office called to ask if she was on leave that she started the car, floored the accelerator, and sped away.

Bayuan, 28th Floor Office

Chu Yue leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze very cold. Behind her, a tall man with a double-door frame sat imperiously on the sofa with his legs crossed. The man’s sword-like brows were locked in a frown, and his handsome face radiated an aura of authority at every moment. Anyone could guess his identity: Chu Wen, the President of Bayuan Group and Xi Zhenyi’s arch-rival.

At this moment, Chu Yue’s office door was locked, and no one from the outside could enter. Chu Wen frowned and asked coldly, “Are you truly going to be this reckless?”

Chu Yue ignored him completely.

“Ke Yuanhua told me everything.”

Chu Yue let out a sneer. Those foul men. However, she was not afraid of more people knowing. She was determined to have Nan Zhi, and she did not care how the outside world viewed it.

“If you have something to say, say it and get out.”

The Phantom outside made an arrogant U-turn and sped away, as if declaring ownership of Nan Zhi. Chu Wen’s frown deepened. “Do you know that Miss Nan does not hold a single share of the Nan Group? Wanting her will only serve to slap Xi Zhenyi in the face. What other benefit is there?”

“Benefit?” Chu Yue laughed coldly. “I truly like her. What would you know?”

Chu Wen slowly stood up, his standard tyrant CEO height feeling extremely oppressive. There was no surprise on his face, as if he had known Chu Yue would say this all along.

Chu Yue tilted her head slightly and arched an eyebrow. “What? I gave up the management rights to you just so you could refuse me an investment of over a billion?”

The museum project was only a few hundred million; the rest was for the development of the surrounding areas. A new urban art center would use this museum as its center, expanding into a series of buildings including dedicated concert venues, theaters, and music halls. The museum was only the first step for Bayuan to reconstruct a city landmark in Xiaofeng Port. Even if it was botched, it would not matter; they could just rebuild other venues later. Was a mere billion or so worth all these people taking turns to nag her?

Chu Wen frowned. “Do you know how many tens of thousands of households are being relocated for the Xiaofeng Port reconstruction? Do you know how much capital Bayuan is bleeding out this time? This project is not as easy as you think. Even if it were, I would not agree to you using a Bayuan project to curry favor with someone you like.”

Chu Yue’s brow shot up, and she was about to explode when Chu Wen cut her off.

“Sister, I do not care what kind of person you like, whether it is a man or a woman. That is your freedom. But my company and the tens of thousands of employees under me are not toys for you to play with as you wish. If you are not sincerely trying to complete this project, I will replace the person in charge as soon as possible.”

Chu Yue was furious. “You would not dare!”

“I would.” Chu Wen’s brow suddenly smoothed out. “At home, I am your younger brother, and I can follow your wishes in everything. But at the company, I am your superior. I hope you remember that.”

“Also, you did not give me the management rights.” Chu Wen approached Chu Yue, a certain look flashing in his deep, dark eyes. “Sister, have you forgotten what you did a few years ago?”

Chu Yue took a sharp step back, a momentary look of panic appearing on her face. Chu Wen did not intend to let her off. “A few years have passed, and you seem to have forgotten it quite cleanly. You have no memory of it at all. Do you need me to help you remember?”

“Shut up!”

Chu Yue grabbed something off her desk and threw it at Chu Wen’s face. By chance, she had grabbed a folder that had just been delivered; the loose documents inside scattered across the floor like a massive flurry of snow. The hard cover of the folder grazed the side of Chu Wen’s face. A bloodstain slowly emerged, and beads of blood began to seep out.

Chu Wen acted as if he felt nothing, looking at Chu Yue with indifference. “Our family has given you all the status you wanted. I hope that this time, you do not disappoint everyone again. The elders are getting old; they are not like before, and they cannot handle so many surprises.”

After delivering his cold warning, he turned on his long legs and left. As he exited the office, the glass door accidentally bumped into a student. He lowered his eyes and gave a faint apology. “Sorry.”

The student clutched her elbow, seeming to be in a lot of pain, and glared up at him. Given the force of the glass door swinging back, he had not used much strength, so why?

When his gaze met the student’s face, Chu Wen could not help but freeze.

They were too similar. It was not just the resemblance in their features. The black-framed glasses were slightly too large, making the already small face look even more delicate. Her lip balm was likely a budget brand; it looked a bit oily but made her pink lips look succulent. Everything was exactly the same as when he had first met that child.

Chu Wen felt a chill rise from the soles of feet. Memories that had been suppressed with great difficulty resurfaced in his mind. He opened his mouth stiffly, his voice carrying a tremor he did not even notice. “What, what is your name?”

The student opened her clear eyes wide, filled with slight anger and reproach, and stared at him without a word. Chu Wen’s eyelashes trembled incessantly. “Can you, not speak either?”

The student arched an eyebrow and opened her lips slightly to speak, but she was interrupted by the person behind Chu Wen.

“Junior, you are here!”

Chu Wen whipped his head around. The look he gave Chu Yue was half-terror and half-fury, as if he were questioning her about something.

The fear on Chu Yue’s face had vanished completely, replaced by a gentle smile. “Brother, let me introduce you. This is the daughter of the Nan Group, Nan Zhi. She is also my junior.”

Beneath her exquisite makeup, the woman’s smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, there was an intense possessiveness and even a hint of madness. In that instant, all the hidden depths were blocked behind the door by Chu Wen and were not conveyed to the woman dressed as a student.

Nan Zhi felt she was having the worst luck. Yesterday, she had been pushed by Xi Zhenyi, leaving her elbow and palm aching from the scrapes. She had endured that awful medicinal smell all night, yet her mouth had not healed. Early this morning, she had been annoyed by Xi Zhenyi’s strange behavior and lost her babies. Upon arriving at the company, she was bumped by a door, which happened to hit her old injury. And the person who hit her actually thought she was a mute? What was this?

Fortunately, she still had her gentle and wealthy senior. Except, Brother?

Nan Zhi looked up at this double-door man. He was truly a tyrant CEO. She was seeing a living, 188cm, double-door, deep-voiced, long-legged, three parts indifferent and two parts mocking CEO standing before her eyes. How magical.

No, wait, what was she thinking? She should be thinking about the mission!

Now that Xi Zhenyi and Chu Wen had both appeared, the female protagonist, Jiang Niannian, should be appearing soon too, right? Nan Zhi immediately pulled herself together, feeling ready for battle at any moment. Once Jiang Niannian appeared, she would have to beat Chu Wen to the punch and become best friends with the Little White Flower first. She would explore the girl’s preferences step by step and then reform Xi Zhenyi according to those needs.

Not only that, she also had to reform the Little White Flower to make her accept Xi Zhenyi and accept true love. In the meantime, she had to prevent Chu Wen from making a move on her Little White Flower. It was a heavy workload! No wonder they gave her the status of a wealthy woman; such a difficult task definitely required pampering oneself materially to make it worthwhile.

Nan Zhi fell happily into her own plans, completely failing to notice the exchange of looks between the CEO siblings. Once the sparks between them had settled, she had finished her plan and looked up with a smile. She then extended her small hand toward Chu Wen, who had turned back.

Chu Wen’s expression was, well, complicated. He was truly a CEO with a lot of eye acting. Nan Zhi understood deeply. She grabbed Chu Wen’s hand and shook it. She apologized to him with her eyes: “Sorry, big brother CEO, your wife has to be borrowed by my wife for a bit!”

However, Nan Zhi did not know that her actions had completely different interpretations in the eyes of the siblings. To Chu Yue, Nan Zhi’s actions meant she was happily accepting her family, indicating that Nan Zhi had a good impression of her. To the younger brother, Chu Wen, Nan Zhi was undoubtedly just like that person from a few years ago, a complete

After the brief interlude, Chu Wen could not say much in front of Nan Zhi. It was not until he left the 28th floor that he took out his phone and hesitated before making two calls. One was to his secretary, ordering them to keep a close eye on Chu Yue and Nan Zhi and to report any abnormalities immediately. The other call was

“Hello, Dr. Song. I would like to ask about my sister’s condition.”

On the other end, a middle-aged woman’s voice was as soothing as a flowing stream, very similar to Chu Yue’s current tone of voice. Chu Wen listened for a while before his brow gradually relaxed. “Is that so? Is Dr. Song certain?”

“At least during the years Miss Chu Yue has been receiving treatment here, she has not shown the states she had before. I believe she has completely recovered and become a normal person. Mr. Chu does not need to worry too much.” The woman’s voice was very soft, carrying a strange magic that soothed the irritability and unease in Chu Wen’s heart.

“Mr. Chu, I explained this to your family a few years ago. At that time, Miss Chu Yue was in an extremely unstable psychological period, so it was normal for her to have some abnormal behaviors. It was just that Miss Chu Yue liked to watch some bizarre movies, so she temporarily swapped identities with movie characters, mistaking the real world for the virtual world in the movies. This made ordinary people feel that Miss Chu Yue’s behavior was terrifying. But in reality, Miss Chu Yue’s problem is the same as most people’s.”

“As Miss Chu Yue matured, she was able to distinguish between reality and fiction. Therefore, her state has been very stable for all these years, no different from an ordinary person. I believe she never had the kind of illness you all thought she had from the very beginning.”

Chu Wen’s brow fully relaxed, and after a long while, he nodded and gave an affirmative sound. Hanging up, he looked out the window. The spring sunshine was just right, not blinding, but warmly shining on the world. It made Chu Wen feel a bit dazed. Did it truly not exist?

On the other side, Chu Yue affectionately put her arm around Nan Zhi’s shoulder and pulled her to sit on the edge of the sofa. The phone on the table vibrated, and Chu Yue gave an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Junior. Sit for a moment while I check if it is an important text.”

Nan Zhi quickly waved her hand, signaling that she did not mind. Chu Yue’s fingers tightened slightly, inconspicuously rubbing Nan Zhi’s shoulder before letting go with a smile. A short message appeared on the screen. The sender was represented by a simple punctuation mark. The content was even simpler:

“The call came.”

It was a cryptic sentence, but Chu Yue curled her lips and replied: “How was it?”

The reply came almost instantly: “As you said, he had no suspicions.”

Chu Yue curled her lips halfway, her eyes cold. This good brother of hers was truly

Chu Yue turned off the screen, slowly turned around, and looked at Nan Zhi with a smile. “Your outfit today is very special.”

Nan Zhi seemed a bit embarrassed and took out her phone to type an explanation. Chu Yue unashamedly let her gaze sweep over every inch of Nan Zhi’s body. A simple beige oversized hoodie with a soft little cloud printed on the front. Washed-out, distressed jeans with a flared design at the hem and a small slit, revealing glimpses of her slender, pale calves. Black thick-framed glasses and oily-looking lip balm.

Chu Yue could not help but think that life was truly wonderful sometimes. How could she look so much like that person before? She was the daughter of the Nan Group and Xi Zhenyi’s wife. A person worth tens of millions was actually using such cheap lip balm, just like her. She also felt that the heavens were indeed kind to her.

Chu Yue had originally wanted to take things slow, winning Nan Zhi over bit by bit and keeping their story forever, not just with a museum. In the future, more buildings would be named after them, so that for generations to come, everyone would know that next to Nan Zhi’s name, there would be a name called Chu Yue.

Unfortunately, Chu Wen had found out too quickly and even directly threatened her.

Nan Zhi finally finished typing and obediently held up her phone screen for Chu Yue to see. Chu Yue sat down beside her with a smile and grasped Nan Zhi’s raised wrist, her eyes not looking at the phone at all.

“Junior, we have known each other for so long, but you have never been to my house to play, have you?” Nan Zhi shook her head. Chu Yue’s smile grew even more gentle. “Then, after work today, do you want to come over to my house?”

Seeing Nan Zhi hesitate, Chu Yue let out a pitiful sigh. “I wanted to take you to dinner and shopping yesterday, but you refused. Today, I am inviting you to my house, and you still will not go. Does my Junior hate her Senior?”

Nan Zhi immediately waved her hands and then nodded. Chu Yue gave a brilliant smile and reached out to pat the back of Nan Zhi’s head. “So well-behaved.”

Nan Zhi: Every single mistake is Xi Zhenyi’s fault. CEO Xi: qwq
