When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 47

Apart from the small incident at the beginning, there were no more accidents during the entire evening self-study. Everyone was quietly doing their own thing. Near the end of class, Jiang Jiang suddenly received a message from the driver, Old Liu.

After Wen Xueyun’s class in the morning, Jiang Jiang had asked Old Liu to inquire about He Xinyao’s affairs.

He Xinyao was a local of S City, and had studied in S City from childhood to adulthood, so it wasn’t difficult to inquire. In fact, because of some of her past actions, some people still had a deep impression of her. Old Liu only asked a few questions and understood the general situation.

Jiang Jiang didn’t want to know everything. She mainly asked Old Liu to inquire whether He Xinyao had bullied classmates when she was in school. This wasn’t mentioned in the original text. Jiang Jiang deduced it based on He Xinyao’s personality and her actions.

Jiang Jiang didn’t believe that someone who could cyberbully others without any psychological pressure and had an arrogant attitude towards classmates hadn’t done similar things before.

After all, most people will feel more or less uneasy when they do something bad for the first time because they are afraid of being discovered. Only when they have done bad things and have not been punished will they become more courageous and act more recklessly.

He Xinyao still cared what her classmates thought, so she is not one of the few who are truly fearless.

Jiang Jiang was more inclined to believe that she had experienced similar things before, and had successfully escaped punishment in the end, so she had the confidence to repeat the same trick.

Now, according to the information sent back by Old Liu, Jiang Jiang’s guess was indeed correct.

He Xinyao had two older brothers. When she was born, her parents were already over forty years old. Her second brother was seventeen years older than her, and her eldest brother was a full twenty years older than her.

Her two older brothers and her parents spoiled her like a little princess, giving her whatever she wanted, so He Xinyao developed a character that was not afraid of anything from a young age.

He Xinyao’s personality was very strong, and her jealousy was far beyond ordinary people. She had to get what others had. If she couldn’t get it, she would choose to destroy it.

When she was a child, it was just clothes or toys. When she was in junior high school, He Xinyao began to care about what others thought of her.

Jiang Jiang’s fingertips traced the phone screen, scrolling through the increasing number of document pages. Her eyes grew colder with each page, a chilling indifference settling in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Although these behaviors of He Xinyao were within Jiang Jiang’s expectations,  the confirmation of her suspicions still ignited a powerful surge of anger within Jiang Jiang.

She could almost imagine how difficult it was for a girl from a poor background to be able to afford to study, and she was also excellent in her studies, and could get first place every year.

She was already working very hard to fight against fate, but in the end, she was bullied and insulted for some absurd and ridiculous reasons. In the end, a young life was forced to jump off the roof, and the culprit who caused all this was He Xinyao.

What was even more sad was that, with the joint efforts of the school and the He family, the girl’s death didn’t even cause any waves. He Xinyao’s family only spent 500,000 to settle the matter, just because the girl had a younger brother.

He Xinyao personally forced a young girl to death, not only did she not feel guilty, but she even used this matter as a topic of conversation when she was bored, and her words were full of pride.

Many people knew the truth about this matter. Old Liu asked many people in a row, and everyone’s statements were basically the same.

Since the truth was so obvious, why did things pass by silently?

It turned out that, although most people chose to remain silent because they were worried about getting into trouble, it wasn’t that no one had thought about speaking out for the girl, but the girl’s family had already insisted that her death was just an accident and had nothing to do with anyone, so what else could others do?

After all, they were just classmates and friends, not family. Even her own family didn’t care, so why should anyone else?

Jiang Jiang felt a deep sadness for the girl. Even in this seemingly open and free world, darkness lurked beneath the surface. The girl had paid the ultimate price, yet her murderer continued to live without consequence.

Wouldn’t He Xinyao have nightmares when she woke up in the middle of the night?

Jiang Jiang silently tugged at the corners of her lips. It didn’t matter whether He Xinyao would or not, I would make sure the answer was yes.

Jiang Jiang saved the information sent by Old Liu, and didn’t ask him if he had told Ji Xu’an about it.

In fact, Jiang Jiang didn’t intend to let Ji Xu’an know at first, after all, Zheng Zhouzhou was also standing behind He Xinyao.

This person had the protagonist’s halo, like a flexible willow branch, growing wantonly in the spring breeze, and couldn’t be easily broken.

You had to wait until the cold winter to pull her down from the branches.

So when facing Zheng Zhouzhou, Jiang Jiang had to be more cautious. What she thought was to slowly anger He Xinyao and induce the other party to do something irrational, so that everything would seem more logical in the end.

But now Jiang Jiang changed her mind. He Xinyao is a scumbag with no moral bottom line. It didn’t seem strange that such a person would do hurtful things because of temporary anger, right?

Jiang Jiang decided to add fuel to the fire.

And this opportunity, even Jiang Jiang didn’t expect, it would come so quickly.

…

After evening self-study, Jiang Jiang went to the A2 teaching building with Ji Heyuan to participate in the interview.

Because all the clubs were starting the first round of interviews tonight, there were many people coming and going in the A2 teaching building. Jiang Jiang even saw He Xinyao’s figure in the crowd.

She watched He Xinyao enter a classroom. As she passed the doorway, Jiang Jiang seemingly glanced inside, casually yet deliberately noting that it was the Literature Club’s interview room.

Enemies are really bound to meet on a narrow road.

It was well known that the Hanfu Association that Jiang Jiang wanted to join and the Literature Club had a bad relationship. The reason why she helped the senior sister named Qian Yun that day was because her hairstyle was messed up by two girls from the Literature Club.

If He Xinyao successfully joined the Literature Club, then there would be another layer of grievances between her and Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang sighed in her heart, and then continued to walk towards her destination, temporarily throwing He Xinyao to the back of her mind.

However, He Xinyao, who was sitting in the classroom waiting for the interview, couldn’t help but frown when she caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the classroom door.

She was in a hurry just now and didn’t pay attention. The person who passed by the door looked a lot like Xie Xiao. Could it be that she was also here for the interview?

Jiang Jiang went in with Fu Xihe. She had basically seen the senior sisters sitting in the front row, except for one who was relatively unfamiliar.

“You’re here.” Qian Yun was the first to see them. She had a deep impression of Jiang Jiang. Seeing that Jiang Jiang’s steps were a little slow, she quickly stood up to greet her.

“Hello, senior sisters.” Jiang Jiang’s eyes were full of smiles, and the dimples on her cheeks appeared and disappeared as her lips opened and closed.

“I heard from Xihe that you were injured. Can you still hold on? Why don’t you sit down for the interview later?” He Jingjing also came over.

Jiang Jiang declined with a smile, “It’s okay, I’ve almost recovered.”

Ji Xu’an and Ji Heyuan were overly cautious, treating her like she was made of glass. While the pain from walking was minimal, Jiang Jiang still found herself treading lightly, as if out of habit.

Seeing that she wasn’t forcing herself, He Jingjing was relieved and didn’t insist on letting her sit down.

After all, everyone was standing, and if only Jiang Jiang was sitting, she would inevitably be isolated by everyone.

“By the way, Xie Xiao, you don’t know who this is, right? This is our Vice President Tu Wei.” He Jingjing pointed to the unfamiliar senior sister, “Tu Wei, this is the very amazing junior I told you about.”

Tu Wei had a generous and bright appearance, and her personality was quite outgoing. “Hello, junior.”

She offered Jiang Jiang her hand, and Jiang Jiang gently took it, their palms briefly touching before separating.

Tu Wei remained outwardly still, yet Jiang Jiang sensed a hidden meaning in her gaze.

That look wasn’t like looking at a stranger she had never met before.

However, in the subsequent interview, Tu Wei didn’t show anything else. Her attitude towards everyone was the same.

The atmosphere at the scene wasn’t very relaxed. After the formal interview started, even He Jingjing, who seemed to have the most optimistic and outgoing personality, kept a straight face, and the questions she asked were sharp enough. Several people were asked to the point where they couldn’t speak.

Jiang Jiang’s performance was not bad. At least, when facing the joint gaze of several senior sisters, she didn’t feel nervous, and her words were still fluent and clear when answering.

After the interview, she had to go back and wait for the results. Jiang Jiang was about to pack her things and leave when that senior sister Tu Wei suddenly walked towards her.

“Schoolmate Xie, you’re not very active in the group. I sent you a friend request, but you probably didn’t see it.” She smiled and put her QR code in front of Jiang Jiang.

“Let’s add each other as friends, it’s convenient to contact in the future.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t remember whether she had received Tu Wei’s friend request. Because her contact information was exposed at some point, people were adding her as a friend every day, most of whom were unimportant people, and Jiang Jiang didn’t look carefully at all.

“I’m sorry, senior sister, I didn’t notice.” Jiang Jiang took out her phone and scanned Tu Wei’s QR code.

Her phone skills had improved dramatically, it was hard to believe that she was a complete novice just a short time ago.

Seeing Jiang Jiang send the friend request, Tu Wei immediately clicked agree, and then she smiled at Jiang Jiang, “Okay, I don’t have anything else to do, you go back and rest early.”

But Jiang Jiang stopped her at this time, “Senior Sister Tu Wei.”

She looked straight into Tu Wei’s eyes. Her words and expressions weren’t strong, but she gave people a sense of oppression for no reason.

“Have we met before?”

Tu Wei was surprised by Jiang Jiang’s perceptiveness，after all, she only slightly exposed her thoughts at the beginning,

After that, she had been behaving very normally.

It seemed that this little junior wasn’t as simple and harmless as that person said, at least she was quite smart.

Tu Wei’s mood was a bit complicated, and some of it was unconsciously brought out on her face, “You don’t know me, but I’ve heard of you.”

Jiang Jiang showed a puzzled expression at the right time.

Tu Wei explained, “I know Chu Yueqi.”

Jiang Jiang suddenly realized, her eyes were clear and transparent, with only pure curiosity in them, “Did Sister Chu tell you about me?”

Tu Wei had been staring at her eyes, so naturally she didn’t miss this series of changes in Jiang Jiang’s expression.

When mentioning Chu Yueqi, there was no shyness in her eyes, and her attitude was generous.

It turned out that Chu Yueqi hadn’t lied to me, it was really just her unrequited love. Tu Wei’s mood improved a lot unconsciously.

Jiang Jiang could clearly feel that her smile had become relaxed.

Tu Wei smiled, “She told me before that she had a sister she knew at S University. After seeing your registration form that day, I specifically sent her a message to verify.”

“So that’s how it is.” Jiang Jiang smiled embarrassedly, “Actually, I haven’t seen Sister Chu for a while, and I don’t know how she’s been doing recently?”

Tu Wei was stunned for a moment. She met Jiang Jiang’s almond eyes, which were as clear as black and white, and felt that the other party actually knew everything, and these words were specifically said for her to hear.

“She’s fine, she’s been busy with work recently, and she might ask you to hang out when she’s free.” Tu Wei said.

Jiang Jiang didn’t chat with her much. Although Tu Wei’s attitude was still good at this time, Jiang Jiang didn’t forget the defensiveness and hostility that flashed in Tu Wei’s eyes when she first saw her.

Her relationship with Chu Yueqi must be more than just friends.

After separating from Tu Wei, Jiang Jiang sat on the wooden bench under the teaching building to wait for Ji Heyuan.

Because it was indeed ending relatively late today, Ji Heyuan was worried about Jiang Jiang and planned to go back to Star River Bay with her. Fu Xihe originally wanted to wait with Jiang Jiang, but Jiang Jiang thought it was getting late, so she let her go first.

The night wind gently brushed Jiang Jiang’s hair. She looked up at the starry sky above her head, but what she was thinking about was Xie Xiao, who was in a distant other world.

I wonder how Xiao Xiao is doing.

Jiang Jiang took out her phone and recorded the scene at this moment.

Xiao Xiao worked so hard to get into S University, but she couldn’t see the university she chose with her own eyes. She was forced to travel to an unfamiliar world, and she had a difficult time in the Duke’s Mansion. When she looked up at the moon, would she also miss home very much?

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but sigh very lightly. Before she could withdraw from the thoughts of that moment, the rare tranquility was broken by the person who came.

“Xie Xiao!”

When Jiang Jiang heard this familiar voice, her eyes turned cold for a moment. When He Xinyao walked in front of her, her expression returned to her usual gentle and harmless one.

“Classmate He, it shouldn’t be that your throat is itchy again, right?”

He Xinyao wasn’t stupid, so naturally she heard that she was mocking herself. She crossed her arms and looked down at Jiang Jiang, “Why don’t you continue to pretend?”

“What am I pretending?” Jiang Jiang relaxed her body and leaned back in the chair, looking at He Xinyao leisurely.

Looking at the Jiang Jiang in front of her who was completely different from before, He Xinyao felt that she had finally forced Xie Xiao to show her true colors.

“If others saw you as you are now, I wonder if they would still sympathize with you the next time you pretend?”

Jiang Jiang chuckled, “What’s wrong with me now?”

He Xinyao was so angry with her arrogant appearance that her brain was congested, “Xie Xiao, you should be ashamed, don’t treat everyone as fools, you bullied someone you shouldn’t have bullied, and you will pay the price one day.”

Jiang Jiang “oh-ed”, her expression still indifferent.

“Classmate He, I don’t understand what you’re saying, who did I bully?” A mocking smile seemed to rise from the corners of her lips. He Xinyao couldn’t see it very clearly, but the grievance in Jiang Jiang’s tone was very obvious.

He Xinyao couldn’t help but take another step forward. This time, she clearly saw the coldness in Jiang Jiang’s eyes.

At that moment, He Xinyao actually had a feeling of panic. Xie Xiao’s expression and her tone seemed to be two separate and even contradictory existences.

Did she, did she know what I wanted to do?

He Xinyao subconsciously wanted to cover her clothes pocket and step back, but Jiang Jiang’s movements were faster than her. She grabbed He Xinyao’s hand.

“Wait, Classmate He, you have to explain clearly, you can’t just slander me and then walk away, right?”

In a panic, He Xinyao shook off her hand forcefully, “Are you crazy!”

Jiang Jiang fell back on the bench. After He Xinyao took a few steps back, she remembered that Jiang Jiang’s foot was still injured and she couldn’t walk fast at all.

A mocking smile played on her lips as she stood there. “Xie Xiao,” she sneered, “Someone like you belongs in the gutter. Dreaming of becoming a phoenix? Be careful you don’t fall and become a cripple instead.”

After she said this, she thought that Xie Xiao would immediately refute her. Who knew that the other party seemed to be really hit by her and slumped on the chair for a long time without moving.

He Xinyao felt a surge of frustration. She’d intended to provoke Xie Xiao, to goad her into self-destruction, but Xie Xiao remained surprisingly cautious. Even alone, with He Xinyao having laid everything bare, Xie Xiao remained silent.

He Xinyao took another step closer, a feeling of unease washing over her. Xie Xiao seemed unsettling, and she instinctively wanted to keep her distance.

The main reason was that Jiang Jiang’s eyes just now really scared her a lot.

“Xie Xiao,” He Xinyao lowered her voice, “Actually, I know that the girl mentioned in the news a few days ago was you. You were almost molested and fell from the third floor, right?”

Jiang Jiang suddenly raised her head to look at her, “What do you want to say?”

Seeing that she finally wasn’t completely unresponsive, He Xinyao was overjoyed, and even more stimulating words blurted out.

“Actually, I’ve always been very curious, how come the third floor didn’t kill you? I heard that the other person was seriously injured, why did you only sprain your foot?”

The malice in He Xinyao’s tone was overwhelming, almost undisguised.

“Could it be that all of this was directed and acted by you?”

“Maybe he didn’t intend to molest you at all, and didn’t plan to push you downstairs. Everything is you lying.”

Jiang Jiang seemed to be finally angered by her. Her chest rose and fell violently, and the way she looked at He Xinyao was also fierce, “I didn’t!”

He Xinyao immediately pressed, “So why was he the only one injured? Why were you unharmed? The internet’s full of hate for him, but you’re showered with sympathy and good wishes. I dare you say it’s not because someone paid for online support?”

He Xinyao didn’t believe that no one would doubt the authenticity of this matter. She herself was very good at guiding public opinion, and knew best how much malice a person could have towards others. Even if the other party was just a stranger she had never met, it was enough to the point of wishing the other party would die immediately.

Now there wasn’t a single comment questioning Xie Xiao on the Internet. Someone must have taken action to control the comments.

He Xinyao even knew who that person was, wasn’t it the golden thigh that Xie Xiao had hugged?

She didn’t dare to say bad things about Ji Xu’an, after all, she was an existence that even Zheng Zhouzhou had to please.

But it was precisely because of this that He Xinyao hated Jiang Jiang even more.

Ji Xu’an and Ji Heyuan were both blind, they didn’t like the kind and simple Zhouzhou, but they treated this vicious Xie Xiao as a treasure.

If it wasn’t for worrying about ruining Zheng Zhouzhou’s plan, and Zheng Zhouzhou’s repeated warnings, He Xinyao would have pointed at the other party’s nose and cursed the moment she saw Ji Heyuan.

Thinking of this, He Xinyao’s hatred grew even deeper. She pressed closer step by step, “Do you dare to swear to God that you didn’t do it on purpose?”

She stared at Xie Xiao’s eyes, and Xie Xiao also seemed to be really pressed by her question, and showed an angry and collapsed expression as He Xinyao wished.

“It was his fault! This kind of scum deserves to die!”

He Xinyao was overjoyed, “So you admit that you did it on purpose?”

Xie Xiao refused to answer any more. He Xinyao didn’t care, she had already gotten what she wanted.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it, Xie Xiao, I said, you will definitely pay the price for your actions.”

He Xinyao was triumphant. She patted the sleeves that had been grabbed by Jiang Jiang, as if she had touched something dirty.

Jiang Jiang calmed down in the blink of an eye, “Classmate He, don’t talk nonsense anymore, it’s illegal to spread rumors.”

He Xinyao only thought that she was being stubborn. She didn’t want to argue with Jiang Jiang anymore, and now she just wanted to go back and check her results as soon as possible.

He Xinyao snorted coldly, turned around and strode out, the smile on her face was so excited and joyful.

To get out of the A2 teaching building, you had to go through a long stone staircase.

Just as He Xinyao stepped down the first step, she suddenly heard Jiang Jiang calling her from behind.

“Classmate He.”

He Xinyao turned her head to look, her eyes a little impatient, “What else do you want to say?”

Jiang Jiang was still standing in place. The two could even hear people talking not far away. Only the place where they stayed was dark and quiet, and the sound of insects chirping from time to time.

Actually, He Xinyao had briefly suspected why Xie Xiao was sitting in such a remote place, but this happened to suit her, so she quickly threw the question to the back of her mind.

At this time, looking at Xie Xiao’s face half-hidden in the darkness, He Xinyao suddenly felt that she couldn’t see her face clearly. She couldn’t help but shudder, thinking that Xie Xiao was indeed a bit strange. She heard that her grandmother could read Feng Shui, so wouldn’t she also know some evil magic?

Maybe the reason why she dared to jump from the third floor was because she wasn’t an ordinary person.

He Xinyao’s unease grew, but she outwardly remained defiant. “Spit it out,” she demanded.

Jiang Jiang looked at her without blinking, “How do you want me to pay the price?”

Hearing this, He Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, and felt ridiculous for her tension just now. If Xie Xiao was really that powerful, would she still be led by the nose by me?

“You’ll know soon.” He Xinyao perfunctorily said.

Jiang Jiang seemed to laugh, “Okay then, Classmate He, the road is slippery when it’s dark, be careful when you go back.”

She paused, and her voice became lighter, “It hurts a lot to fall from the stone steps.”

He Xinyao felt that she meant something, but thinking that there was surveillance here, and Xie Xiao was so far away from her, could she still push herself down from here?

If Xie Xiao really did this, He Xinyao would laugh out loud, so she would have more reason to blame Xie Xiao.

She rolled her eyes, “Crazy, mind your own business.”

After saying that, He Xinyao raised her foot and continued to walk down. After walking two steps, He Xinyao found that there was no sound behind her.

She resisted the impulse, but couldn’t stop herself from glancing at Jiang Jiang. The instant her head turned…He Xinyao was abruptly struck by a sharp pain in her calf, as if something had kicked her hard. In an instant, her body lurched forward uncontrollably, sending her tumbling down the stone steps.

“Ah ah ah——!!”

At the moment of falling, He Xinyao’s mind was muddled, and she couldn’t even feel the pain. It wasn’t until she stopped rolling that He Xinyao came back to her senses. She lay on the ground with her face up, and her eyes were black for a while.

After a while, He Xinyao suddenly felt that her face was wet, so she raised her hand and touched it. With the light of the street lamp next to her, He Xinyao saw that her hands were full of blood.

She screamed again, “My face!!”

The shrill cry attracted other students who hadn’t left, and everyone walked over here.

“What’s wrong?”

“What happened?”

Because she was the closest, Jiang Jiang was also the first to arrive at He Xinyao’s side.

She looked down at He Xinyao lying at her feet, her tone was slow, and her eyes were without any waves.

“Classmate He, I reminded you just now, you have to be careful when walking.”

He Xinyao’s face was messy, and tears mixed with blood kept flowing out, and her appearance was particularly embarrassed and miserable. Listening to Jiang Jiang’s mocking words, she was almost driven crazy.

“It’s you! Xie Xiao, you pushed me!!”

Jiang Jiang frowned, “Classmate He, I was so far away from you just now, how could I push you?”

He Xinyao still insisted that it was Jiang Jiang who pushed her.

In fact, before falling down, He Xinyao’s peripheral vision saw that Jiang Jiang hadn’t moved all the time. She knew very well in her heart that it wasn’t Jiang Jiang who pushed her.

But besides Xie Xiao, who else could it be?

The feeling that her calf seemed to have been kicked was definitely not her fantasy.

Could it be that a ghost pushed me?!

Jiang Jiang sighed, with a look of “I really can’t do anything with you”, “There is surveillance here, Classmate He, whether I pushed you or not, the surveillance will clearly record it. You can’t just pour dirty water on me because you hate me.”

In He Xinyao’s cannibalistic gaze, Jiang Jiang gently bit her lip, and hesitated, “However, I seemed to see a girl standing behind you just now.”

“She was covered in blood, and her limbs were twisted unnaturally. Classmate He, do you know her?”

The surroundings seemed to suddenly become cold. He Xinyao shuddered violently, and even forgot the pain on her body. She looked at Jiang Jiang with her eyes wide open, and couldn’t say a word anymore.

It’s that person!

It’s her, she must have come to me for revenge!

He Xinyao was frightened by Jiang Jiang’s words. After a long while, she swallowed and pretended to be calm, “Don’t try to scare me, what girl, I don’t know her at all!”

As He Xinyao spoke, her hand subconsciously reached into her clothes pocket, but found nothing, and her expression was even more flustered than when she heard Jiang Jiang say that someone was standing behind her just now.

Where’s my recording pen?!!
