When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 2

Chu Yueqi almost thought she had misheard for a moment, “What?!”

Jiang Jiang turned her head and looked at her in confusion, “I said, the person who is coming to pick me up is my fiancée.”

The expression on Chu Yueqi’s face almost petrified. She was stunned for several seconds before she came back to her senses, looking at Jiang Jiang with a stiff expression, “You have a fiancée?!”

Her tone seemed to carry a bit of gritted teeth.

Jiang Jiang felt that Chu Yueqi seemed to be deeply shocked. She was a little confused, but she didn’t lie, “Yes.”

No, Chu Yueqi felt her brain throbbing with pain. Was my first love going to die before it even started?

“Your…fiancée.” Chu Yueqi took a deep breath, “How old are they this year? I think you look quite young, how long have you been dating?”

That fiancée who popped out of nowhere, couldn’t be a scumbag who was luring a minor, right?

This question was difficult for Jiang Jiang to answer. She picked and chose the unimportant things to say.

“This marriage was arranged by my grandmother, I haven’t met her yet.”

Chu Yueqi was shocked again within a short three minutes.

What era is this, how can anyone still be doing the arranged marriage thing!

“Wait, let me sort this out.” Chu Yueqi rubbed her temples, “Your grandma asked you to come find her?”

“Yes.” Jiang Jiang nodded.

“You haven’t even met her, let alone liked her. A marriage without a foundation of love will not be happy!” Chu Yueqi looked at Jiang Jiang’s well-behaved face, almost spitting blood.

How could anyone be so obedient?

“You can’t joke with your future!”

Chu Yueqi was about to shake Jiang Jiang’s shoulders, reminding her to make a rational choice.

Jiang Jiang didn’t think there was anything wrong with this matter. Marriage has always been the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker. Her grandmother would not harm “Xie Xiao.”

Chu Yueqi saw that although Jiang Jiang didn’t refute her words, she didn’t seriously consider them either, so she knew that she didn’t agree with her point of view.

She calmed down and realized that she had spoken too deeply. Given her relationship with Jiang Jiang, she was meddling too much by saying these things.

But Chu Yueqi really didn’t want to give up so easily. She had finally met a girl she liked, she had to try, right?

“I was thinking wrong just now.” Chu Yueqi smiled, “Since this marriage was arranged by your grandmother, the other party’s conditions must not be bad.”

Seeing that she had calmed down, Jiang Jiang didn’t avoid anything and nodded her head along with her words, “Her family is very well-off.”

Chu Yueqi’s eyes rolled, “Actually my family’s conditions are also not bad. I know basically all the wealthy families in S City.”

“What’s your fiancée’s name? Maybe I know her.” After Chu Yueqi asked, she quickly explained, “Of course, I don’t mean anything else. Didn’t you say you haven’t met her? Maybe I know her, and you can learn more about her.”

Jiang Jiang thought she made sense. Although she didn’t know how much Chu Yueqi’s clothes and jewelry were worth, she could tell from the other party’s conversation that Chu Yueqi’s growing environment was not bad.

“Her name is Ji Xu’an.” Jiang Jiang said, while observing Chu Yueqi’s reaction, “The “Xu” in “As weak as willow leaves, the wind blows gently,” and the “Yan” in “The flowers are peaceful, the world is serene and quiet.”

When she heard this name, Chu Yueqi’s eyes widened. It seemed that she really knew Ji Xu’an.

Jiang Jiang felt a little more anticipation in her heart for some reason.

Chu Yueqi just stared at her blankly, and after a long while, she confirmed unwillingly, “Xu’an?”

Jiang Jiang nodded demurely.

“Isn’t it…” Chu Yueqi felt her brain was in a mess, Same name and same surname?

Jiang Jiang’s fiancée is Ji Xu’an??

Ji Xu’an has a fiancée?!

When did this happen, I hadn’t heard anyone mention it!

Jiang Jiang’s thoughts turned, and she looked at Chu Yueqi with bright eyes, “Do you know her?”

Chu Yueqi reached out and supported the wall next to her, “Let me take a moment, is it the Ji Xu’an I’m thinking of?”

Jiang Jiang recalled what Xie Xiao had said, “I heard that she was also raised by her grandmother, and now she is the head of the Ji family.”

Although Chu Yueqi felt that Jiang Jiang’s wording was a bit strange, she was too shocked, and this subtle abnormality was quickly ignored by her.

Raised by her grandmother, the head of the Ji family, isn’t that the Ji Xu’an I was thinking of!

Chu Yueqi looked at Jiang Jiang with a complicated expression. Although she had never heard her parents mention this, Jiang Jiang didn’t seem like a girl who would lie, and Chu Yueqi decided to believe her.

“If that’s the case, then I should know her.” Chu Yueqi closed her eyes, trying to suppress the emotions surging in her heart, and after enduring it again and again, she was still very unwilling to give up, “But I don’t seem to have heard that she has a fiancée.”

She paused, and quickly added, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, just a little curious.”

Jiang Jiang nodded to show her understanding, “Two months ago, my grandmother arranged it for me before she passed away.”

As she spoke, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and the slightly bulging cheek meat looked soft and elastic, showing innocence to the extreme.

Chu Yueqi immediately felt guilty and ashamed. She didn’t expect that a casual question would hit Jiang Jiang’s sad spot. She wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiang noticed her embarrassment and took the initiative to skip the topic, “We have never met before. After my grandmother passed away, I was alone and could only come to her for refuge.”

Although she didn’t say a word to sell misery, in Chu Yueqi’s eyes, Jiang Jiang had become a helpless little pitiful thing. Thinking that the other party was still hiding in the toilet secretly crying just now, Chu Yueqi felt distressed.

Damn Ji Xu’an, she doesn’t know how to cherish such a well-behaved and good fiancée, and even let her take the train to S City by herself!

Scumbag!

Chu Yueqi resisted the urge to badmouth Ji Xu’an, “Did Ji Xu’an arrange for someone to pick you up?”

Or did she come to pick her up in person?

Jiang Jiang blinked, “Yes, she should have sent someone to pick me up.”

Chu Yueqi smiled, “Okay, I’ll accompany you to the exit to take a look.”

Jiang Jiang was shorter than Chu Yueqi. When she looked at Chu Yueqi, her eyes were slightly raised, filled with trust.

“I may have to trouble Sister Chu to lead the way.”

The station was very big, and there were many exits. If it weren’t for Chu Yueqi, she really wouldn’t know where to go.

Chu Yueqi twitched the corners of her mouth, “No problem.”

…

“Didn’t pick up anyone?” Ji Xu’an frowned, listening to the explanation from Secretary Zhao on the phone, a hint of impatience in her eyes.

Secretary Zhao was also very nervous. He knew that the boss had arranged for him to pick up someone, and he also had the intention of letting himself help test the temperament of that Miss Xie.

Originally, Secretary Zhao thought this was a very simple job. He considered himself to have been Secretary to President Ji for several years, and had seen many big scenes, so he wouldn’t be unable to handle a girl who had just come of age.

I didn’t expect the first step of the probing mission to fail, he didn’t pick up Miss Xie at all!

“President Ji, we can’t contact Miss Xie now. Should I arrange for someone to verify the train information again?”

Secretary Zhao wanted to complain a lot when he said this. It’s already 20XX, how can there still be young people without mobile phones? Is this really reasonable?!

Even if Miss Xie has been living in the countryside with her grandmother, she shouldn’t be so backward!

Secretary Zhao only had a photo of Xie Xiao. To be on the safe side, he arranged people at several exits and specially asked them to hold up wooden signs with Xie Xiao’s name on them, and stood in the most conspicuous position, so that Xie Xiao could see it at a glance when she left the station.

Unfortunately, so many young girls passed by, but Secretary Zhao didn’t see Xie Xiao’s figure.

Secretary Zhao waited for more than half an hour. Seeing the time passing by, he was almost desperate. When he called Ji Xu’an, Secretary Zhao was worried, fearing that he would be scolded by President Ji.

Ji Xu’an sneered, tapping her fingers on the armrest of the chair, the mockery in her eyes clearly visible.

“She’s an adult, can she still get lost?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t think that Xie Xiao would get lost in the well-connected high-speed rail station. She suspected that the other party was putting on airs.

Was Xie Xiao sure that my grandmother valued her, so she deliberately made trouble to win her grandmother’s sympathy?

If Old Mrs. Ji knew that I didn’t pick up anyone and lost them, she would definitely call to scold me again.

“No matter how you investigate, you must bring the person back intact.”

“Before tomorrow, I want to see Xie Xiao appear in the old house.”

Secretary Zhao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, “Okay, President Ji.”

Ji Xu’an hung up the phone neatly. This matter didn’t leave much of a mark on her heart, it only made her more dissatisfied with Jiang Jiang.

Xie Xiao… huh.

….

Jiang Jiang really didn’t have a mobile phone. Xie Xiao’s mobile phone was broken before. Jiang Jiang was already struggling to adapt to the earth-shaking life, and had no energy to think about these things.

Under Xie Xiao’s guidance, she used the bank card left by Xie’s grandmother to withdraw 1,000 yuan in cash. After buying tickets and food, the remaining money was hidden by Jiang Jiang in the interlayer of the black backpack.

She cherished every penny, because it was left to Xie Xiao by Xie’s grandmother, and Jiang Jiang didn’t dare to spend it indiscriminately.

Chu Yueqi saw that Jiang Jiang was dressed very plainly, and guessed that her family was not very well-off. Although she didn’t know how Ji Xuyan would have such a fiancée, Chu Yueqi didn’t ask much.

After learning that Jiang Jiang didn’t have a mobile phone, she immediately became attentive, “How can you go out without a mobile phone? Ji Xu’an is really something, even if she’s busy with work, she should spend more time on you.”

After speaking in a tea-like manner, Chu Yueqi suggested, “I’ll take you to buy one.”

Jiang Jiang shook her head, “I don’t want to trouble Sister Chu, I have money.”

Although she didn’t know what the use of a “mobile phone” was, seeing that Chu Yueqi said it so solemnly, it should be a very important thing.

Chu Yueqi was rejected by her, lost for a second, and then resurrected with full blood, “That’s right, Ji Xu’an is your fiancée, she should be considerate.”

In other words, if Ji Xuyan doesn’t buy a mobile phone for Jiang Jiang, then she is not attentive!

Jiang Jiang didn’t speak. She silently thought in her heart, how come the words Sister Chu said sound so strange?

The concubine also used this tone when talking about my mother in front of my father before.

Jiang Jiang didn’t actually agree with Chu Yueqi’s statement, but she didn’t want to offend Chu Yueqi, so she could only pretend she didn’t hear it.

Although she said she was Ji Xu’an’s fiancée, Jiang Jiang was very clear that she and Ji Xu’an only had a verbal engagement, not even a token, let alone the six rites.

It was actually quite inappropriate for her to go to Ji Xu’an for refuge this time.

Fortunately, the Ji family didn’t mind her rudeness and were willing to let her stay in the Ji family. Jiang Jiang thought that it was already very good that Ji Xu’an could give her a place to live, so how could she feel at ease spending Ji Xu’an’s money?

Now she had the money left by Xie’s grandmother, so she didn’t have to worry about daily expenses, but if she really wanted to marry Ji Xu’an, she would have to prepare a dowry for herself…

Jiang Jiang was thinking a little too far ahead and didn’t even know when she walked out of the station. Just as she and Chu Yueqi stepped out of the station, two people suddenly ran over excitedly not far away.

“Are you Miss Xie Xiao?”

Jiang Jiang suddenly came back to her senses, looked at the two strange men in front of her, and guessed their identities, “Did Ji Xu’an send you?”

“Yes, yes, President Ji asked us to pick you up.”

Finally picked up the person! It was too difficult!

Chu Yueqi protected Jiang Jiang behind her, her eyes wary, “Did Ji Xu’an really send you? What evidence do you have?”

One of the bodyguards took out his mobile phone to make a call, and the other explained, “Secretary Zhao is also nearby. If Miss Xie doesn’t believe us, Secretary Zhao can contact President Ji.”

So Chu Yueqi waited with Jiang Jiang for a while. After about three minutes, Secretary Zhao drove over.

He almost burst into tears when he saw Jiang Jiang.

“Hello, Miss Xie, I’m President Ji’s secretary, my surname is Zhao.”

After introducing himself, Secretary Zhao then looked at Chu Yueqi, “Hello, Miss Chu, long time no see, is Old Master Chu’s health still good?”

Chu Yueqi recognized him. Seeing that the person who came was really Ji Xu’an’s secretary, she reluctantly moved to the side, revealing Jiang Jiang behind her.

“My grandfather’s health is still very good, thank you for your concern, Secretary Zhao.”

Chu Yueqi said, and then looked at Jiang Jiang, “Jiang Jiang, Secretary Zhao is Ji Xuyan’s secretary, you can trust him, go with him.”

She looked reluctant, knowing that Jiang Jiang didn’t have a mobile phone, so she wrote her contact information on a piece of paper and stuffed it into Jiang Jiang’s palm.

“This is my contact information, after you buy a new mobile phone, you must add me as a friend!”

Jiang Jiang didn’t understand, but still nodded seriously, promising, “Okay.”

She paused, and then said solemnly, “Thank you, Sister Chu.”

Chu Yueqi watched her get into the car, her heart full of loss written on her face.

After Jiang Jiang sat down, she kept watching Chu Yueqi’s figure through the car window until the vehicle merged into the traffic, and then she slowly withdrew her gaze.

Secretary Zhao had been observing her reaction, and seeing this, he said casually, “Miss Xie has a good relationship with Miss Chu.”

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes and told him about how she met Chu Yueqi.

She held her black backpack tightly, which contained all of Jiang Jiang’s treasures. She sat very upright, looking well-behaved and obedient, completely unlike the vain liar Ji Xuyan thought she was.

Secretary Zhao couldn’t see anything else for the time being, he just thought Jiang Jiang was very quiet. She didn’t like to talk much, and didn’t ask anything about President Ji.

On the way from the station to the old house, Jiang Jiang just silently looked out the window. Her bright apricot eyes were clear and energetic, and she couldn’t see a trace of ulterior motives at all.

Secretary Zhao even had a strange feeling.

He felt that Jiang Jiang seemed to be observing everything around her.

Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Secretary Zhao had no choice but to shut up.

Although he wanted to test her, it was a pity that the other person didn’t talk, so he couldn’t sing a one-man show, right?

After driving for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the old house.

“Miss Xie, there are people in the old house. The housekeeper has already arranged everything. Please rest first, President Ji will come over in the evening.”

Jiang Jiang thanked him, which made Secretary Zhao quite embarrassed. Under President Ji’s instructions, he was very wary of Miss Xie, but he didn’t expect her to be very polite, and her thanks seemed to be sincere.

If it wasn’t for her acting skills being too good, it would mean that Miss Xie might not be as scheming as President Ji thought.

Secretary Zhao left quickly. Jiang Jiang carried her bag and followed behind the housekeeper, quietly observing the environment of the old house.

The housekeeper received instructions from Old Mrs. Ji and was very enthusiastic towards Jiang Jiang. Seeing that the little girl was quiet and obedient, he felt even more fond of her.

“The old lady knew you were coming and told me several times to make sure to arrange everything properly.”

A small smile appeared on Jiang Jiang’s lips, “I’m disturbing you, I wonder where the old lady is now?”

In terms of reason and emotion, she should visit Old Mrs. Ji to thank her for taking her in.

“The old lady has been living in the nursing home recently. Alas, her health is not good, and the eldest lady is usually too busy, often running between the old house and the company. The old lady also feels sorry for her.”

Jiang Jiang deeply agreed.

Ji Xu’an supported such a large family business alone. Outsiders could only see the glamorous appearance, but only those around her knew the hardships.

Jiang Jiang inexplicably had a sense of sympathy for Ji Xu’an.

The housekeeper said again, “The eldest lady instructed you to rest first, and she will take you to see the old lady tomorrow.”

Jiang Jiang had no choice but to settle down first.

After washing up under the housekeeper’s arrangement, she ate something, and then fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening.

After tidying herself up and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Jiang Jiang opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to wait for Ji Xu’an.

Just as she reached the junction of the first and second floors, Jiang Jiang heard a series of “da-da” sounds.

It seemed to be a unique footstep. Jiang Jiang leaned down slightly and looked down, unexpectedly meeting a pair of strange and familiar eyes.

The person was very tall, with slender and well-proportioned legs, and her back was straight. Her long hair hung loosely around her waist, without even a hair tie.

Her skin was fair, and her eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost and snow, like a sharpened weapon, exuding a faint cold light.

The eyes looking at Jiang Jiang were calm and unwavering, and all the exploration and suspicion were hidden tightly.

Jiang Jiang stood there, as if she had been frozen, looking at the woman downstairs in a daze.

“Princess Huaining?!”
