When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 13

For the next two days, Ji Xu’an didn’t return to the old house.

Firstly, the old house wasn’t exactly close to the company, making the commute troublesome, secondly, what happened in the back garden that day served as a reminder. Although it might have just been her imagination, she really couldn’t get too close to Jiang Jiang.

Ji Xu’an had no intention of marrying Jiang Jiang. The time they spent together could, at most, allow her to speak to Jiang Jiang calmly, but it was far from constituting any real affection.

Since she had no such intentions, she should maintain a distance to avoid causing misunderstandings for Xie Xiao.

Jiang Jiang wasn’t insensitive and could naturally see her deliberate distancing. In fact, she had already considered such consequences when she chose to test Ji Xu’an that day.

Ji Xu’an was a rather cautious and sensitive person. Jiang Jiang only stared at her hand a few more times, her gaze not even particularly presumptuous, and Ji Xu’an immediately noticed.

Her response strategy was to silently distance herself.

Jiang Jiang wasn’t only not anxious, but also relieved. She had thought Ji Xu’an would warn her again not to have any ulterior motives. After all, judging from their previous encounters, Ji Xu’an wasn’t one to show tenderness and pity.

Jiang Jiang didn’t take Ji Xu’an’s distancing to heart because she knew that as long as the engagement existed, Ji Xu’an’s distance would only be temporary. They would always have times to be together.

However, she didn’t know what Ji Xu’an had said to Ji Heyuan that night. When they met in the stairwell the next morning, Ji Heyuan, upon seeing Jiang Jiang, didn’t immediately mock her but instead coldly snorted to express her dislike.

Jiang Jiang smiled at her good-naturedly, but Ji Heyuan felt she was provoking her.

So, when passing by Jiang Jiang, Ji Heyuan couldn’t help but deliberately bump Jiang Jiang’s shoulder hard while lowering her voice to threaten, “Don’t think that just because my sister is protecting you, you can step all over me.”

Jiang Jiang could have dodged it, but she chose to stand still, and was severely staggered by Ji Heyuan’s bump, her shoulder to her elbow feeling numb.

Seeing her look angry but unable to speak, Ji Heyuan felt instantly relieved and walked downstairs humming a little tune, completely unaware of how cold Jiang Jiang’s gaze was behind her.

After eating breakfast, Ji Heyuan prepared to go out. She didn’t want to stay under the same roof as Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang didn’t go out. Housekeeper Chen asked her what her plans were, and she said she wanted to go back to her room to catch up on sleep.

After returning to her room, Jiang Jiang drew the curtains tightly, leaving only a narrow slit.

The window wasn’t closed, and the wind traveled from the distant mountains and forests, passing through layers of leaves, and rolled up a corner of the curtain.

From where Jiang Jiang stood, she could clearly see Ji Heyuan walking outside, her phone pressed tightly to her ear, her lips opening and closing, not knowing what she was saying, her face full of smiles.

Completely different from the arrogant and domineering attitude she had when facing Jiang Jiang just now.

Jiang Jiang narrowed her eyes.

Downstairs, Ji Heyuan was on the phone with Zheng Zhouzhou. Zheng Zhouzhou seemed very concerned about Xie Xiao’s affairs, probing for information in her words.

Ji Heyuan didn’t suspect Zheng Zhouzhou’s motives. She had a good impression of Zheng Zhouzhou and spoke without any reservations, telling Zheng Zhouzhou all her dissatisfaction with Jiang Jiang.

“You don’t know, she’s really…” Annoying.

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Heyuan suddenly felt a piercing pain in her calf, as if something had hit her leg hard. Her left leg immediately lost its strength, and with a scream and a thud, Ji Heyuan fell heavily to the ground in an extremely embarrassing posture.

The intense pain almost made Ji Heyuan faint on the spot. She even forgot that she was still on the phone with Zheng Zhouzhou, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. “Uncle Chen! Uncle Chen! Is there anyone there! Come and save me, wuwuwuwu!”

The downstairs was immediately in chaos. Ji Heyuan’s screams were so terrible that everyone was startled.

Because she kept repeating that her left calf couldn’t move, housekeeper Chen was afraid of causing secondary damage and didn’t dare to let anyone move her. Ji Heyuan could only sit miserably on the ground waiting for the ambulance to arrive, surrounded by a crowd of people.

The new clothes she had specially chosen to go out in were covered in dust, her carefully styled hair had also come undone, and when she wiped her tears, the dust on her hands accidentally rubbed onto her face. Her whole person exuded a strong aura of pity.

Jiang Jiang stood by the window and took in this scene. She stared at Ji Heyuan’s tearful appearance for a long time before the corners of her lips slowly curved up a little.

This was her small punishment for Ji Heyuan.

It wouldn’t hurt Ji Heyuan’s bones, it would only make her hurt for two days. With Ji Heyuan’s delicate personality, she would probably have to rest in bed for a while, which meant that Ji Heyuan wouldn’t bother her for the next few days.

Jiang Jiang had wanted to endure it, but who told Ji Heyuan to have such a bad mouth? She kept courting death again and again. From yesterday until now, Jiang Jiang had been holding back a stomach full of fire.

Moreover, if she hadn’t seen it wrong, Ji Heyuan’s mouth shape just now should have said “Zhouzhou.”

Besides Zheng Zhouzhou, Jiang Jiang couldn’t think of a second person named Zhouzhou.

If Ji Heyuan was injured, would Zheng Zhouzhou come to visit her?

Thinking of those unpleasant scenes in her dream, Jiang Jiang couldn’t be soft-hearted at all.

With Ji Heyuan’s sobs coming from not far away, Jiang Jiang lowered her head in a good mood and ate the remaining peanut in her palm.

Ooh it’s fragrant, crunchy, and delicious.

…

Housekeeper Chen had a thrilling morning. Who could have imagined that the Second Miss would fall on flat ground in her own yard, and scream so terribly, scaring him into telling people to call 120 after he quickly informed Ji Xu’an and old lady Ji of the matter.

“Fell?” Ji Xu’an rubbed her temples, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She had left the old house very early in the morning, without even eating breakfast, only drinking a cup of coffee. At this time, her throbbing stomach seemed to echo the swelling pain in her head, leaving Ji Xu’an physically and mentally exhausted.

Listening to the crying on the other end of the phone, she said in a light tone, “She can still cry, so it doesn’t seem serious.”

Housekeeper Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Second Miss said her leg hurts a lot, and her palms are also scratched.”

“She’s really capable. Is her brain just for show?” Ji Xu’an didn’t hold back when criticizing her own sister.

Housekeeper Chen was speechless.

Ji Xu’an sighed. “Call me if there’s a problem. I’ll go see her when I’m done.”

She’s not a doctor, going early would just mean waiting around. With Housekeeper Chen there, Ji Xu’an wasn’t too worried.

Old lady Ji, on the other hand, felt a pang of heartache, and Ji Heyuan felt even more aggrieved, crying to her grandmother for a long time until the ambulance came and took her away, finally bringing peace to the villa.

Housekeeper Chen also went to the hospital. Before leaving, he remembered to have someone tell Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked the maid standing outside the door with a blank face, “What happened?”

“Second Miss fell. Housekeeper Chen is taking her to the hospital and asked me to let you know.”

Jiang Jiang looked shocked. “Xiao Yuan fell? Is it serious?”

She bit her lip, her face showing genuine concern. “Should I go and take a look too?”

Housekeeper Chen thought this was a good opportunity to ease the relationship between Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan, so he arranged for a car to take Jiang Jiang to the hospital together.

The scene was chaotic, and Ji Heyuan didn’t notice Jiang Jiang was there until after the X-rays were taken and she was waiting for her wound to be bandaged. Only then did Ji Heyuan catch sight of Jiang Jiang in the crowd.

She had suffered a great deal today and was in a stage of having nowhere to vent her anger. As soon as she saw Jiang Jiang, it was like cold water rolling into hot oil, causing an explosion.

“What are you doing here! Did you come to see me make a fool of myself?!”

Jiang Jiang thought, Ji Heyuan is quite smart, seeing through my plan right away.

Of course, she didn’t show it on her face, but just looked at Ji Heyuan with restraint, defending herself in a low voice, “Xiao Yuan, you’ve misunderstood me.”

Housekeeper Chen also felt that Ji Heyuan was being unreasonable. “Second Miss, Miss Xiao is worried about you too.”

Ji Heyuan felt extremely aggrieved. “She’s worried about me? Maybe she’s secretly cursing me behind my back!”

Otherwise, she had walked that road so many times, how could she have fallen on her face only today?

Jiang Jiang clenched her fists, seemingly hurt by Ji Heyuan’s unwarranted accusations. Her almond eyes, which always had a smile, slowly turned red, and even her eyelashes were stained with a little bit of moisture.

She had been wronged, but her back was still straight, and apart from her slightly red eyes, she didn’t show any more signs of embarrassment. Even her tone was calm.

“Xiao Yuan, if you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave.”

After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Ji Heyuan, “Thank you for treating me yesterday, it was delicious, and I really liked the picture book.”

Then, she didn’t give Ji Heyuan a chance to speak, and ignored Housekeeper Chen’s hesitant gaze, leaving everyone with a sad back view, and quickly disappeared at the hospital door.

Ji Heyuan was stunned. I was just habitually making a few sarcastic remarks, why did Xie Xiao leave?

Moreover, was Xie Xiao just now… crying?

When Ji Heyuan came back to her senses, she saw Housekeeper Chen looking at her with a disapproving look.

“Second Miss, you should apologize to Miss Xiao.”
