When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 48

He Xinyao searched all the pockets on her body, but couldn’t find the recording pen she had hidden.

Jiang Jiang stood aside and watched her silently. Seeing He Xinyao staring at her fiercely, Jiang Jiang kindly asked, “Classmate He, did you lose something? Do you need me to help you find it?”

However, He Xinyao caught a fleeting smile in Jiang Jiang’s eyes.

It’s her!

He Xinyao pointed at Jiang Jiang with her bloody finger, her face twisted, as if she was about to pounce on Jiang Jiang in the next second.

“You stole my recording pen, give it back to me!”

Jiang Jiang took a step back to avoid getting He Xinyao’s bloodstains on her skirt.

As He Xinyao shouted this sentence, several students who had been attracted by the noise finally walked to the front of the two.

One of the girls looked at He Xinyao’s miserable state and couldn’t help but gasp, covering her mouth, “My God! Did she fall from the stairs?”

“She needs to go to the hospital, right?”

The few people whispered while discussing, their eyes moving back and forth between He Xinyao and Jiang Jiang, obviously making up something in their minds.

People will instinctively favor and sympathize with the weak. He Xinyao was injured, and she kept shouting that Jiang Jiang stole her things, so the way they looked at Jiang Jiang was a bit strange.

Jiang Jiang wasn’t angry either. She frowned slightly, as if looking at an unreasonable child.

“Classmate He, instead of wasting your time pouring dirty water on me here, you might as well call an ambulance for yourself.”

He Xinyao didn’t remember that at all. At this moment, she trembled and looked for her phone. A kind-hearted girl next to her immediately said, “Let me call 120!”

Jiang Jiang stood in place, watching coldly as a few people surrounded her to care for He Xinyao.

These girls were kind and enthusiastic. Even when facing strangers they didn’t know, they could choose to help when the other party encountered difficulties.

But a villain like He Xinyao didn’t deserve to receive other people’s kindness at all.

She accepted other people’s care without any psychological burden, and didn’t think at all that there was once a girl who was forced to be isolated and helpless by her.

Jiang Jiang’s fingers hanging by her side slowly curled up.

He Xinyao was still clamoring endlessly, saying that Jiang Jiang pushed her down the stairs, and then saying that Jiang Jiang stole her recording pen, and even insisted that the few girls who cared about her search Jiang Jiang’s body.

The few girls glanced at Jiang Jiang, who was silent at the side, and their expressions were a bit embarrassed.

They just wanted to help an injured person, and didn’t want to participate in other people’s grievances, so one of the girls suggested, “Sister, you should tell your counselor first, the counselor can go to the school to get the security footage.”

He Xinyao stopped talking immediately, but soon she slapped away the girl who was helping her with force, and said angrily, “If you’re not going to help, then don’t. Why the sarcasm? Are you in cahoots with Xie Xiao?”

Because Jiang Jiang had also said similar things just now, He Xinyao immediately remembered the faint mocking smile that Jiang Jiang had revealed just now when she heard the words ” checking the security footage”.

She said hatefully, “By the time the counselor arrives, Xie Xiao will have hidden my recording pen! If you really want to help, search her now, it has to be on her!”

The girl, stunned by He Xinyao’s slap, stared at her reddening hand, speechless and immobile.

The others were also stunned. For a while, only He Xinyao’s cries could be heard at the entrance of the stairs. The remaining people looked at each other, all with a hesitant expression.

After a long while, the girl who was slapped was the first to come back to her senses. She was very angry with He Xinyao, so she simply stood up and shouted at He Xinyao, “Are you crazy? I’m trying to help, and you hit me? If you’re so capable, go search her yourself! I’m not your servant!”

She had just thought that maybe the girl with the well-behaved appearance next to her had bullied the other party, but now she only felt that this person deserved to fall.

He Xinyao didn’t expect the other party to yell at her.

He Xinyao was used to being praised and indulged, both before college and by her roommates. She’d assumed everyone would be as accommodating, but she was wrong, this people weren’t willing to put up with her.

She was shocked and angry, pointing at the girl and scolding her, using all the harsh words she could.

The girl was also very angry, so she simply put her hands on her hips and started swearing at He Xinyao, but her words weren’t as vulgar as He Xinyao’s, and she was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, she had a few companions, and everyone was helping her speak, so she didn’t completely lose.

This was really problem after another. The matter of the recording pen hadn’t been resolved yet, and He Xinyao had quarreled with others again.

Jiang Jiang didn’t say a word, but quietly took out her phone and recorded the scene of He Xinyao’s distorted face.

She wasn’t surprised at all, because people like He Xinyao who lacked empathy couldn’t truly be grateful to others.

She didn’t even care about human life, so would she care about the small favors others gave?

When others helped her, she would only think it was a matter of course.

Perhaps in He Xinyao’s heart, only Zheng Zhouzhou could be on equal footing with her, and everyone else is inferior to them.

Jiang Jiang hadn’t watched enough of the show when Ji Heyuan, who had already finished the interview, came over.

“Xie Jiang Jiang!”

Ji Heyuan saw a figure that looked a lot like Jiang Jiang from a distance, but she couldn’t be sure at first, because there were several people standing next to Jiang Jiang, and everyone seemed to be arguing about something. It was relatively far away, and Ji Heyuan couldn’t hear very clearly.

It wasn’t until she got closer that she confirmed that the person was Jiang Jiang.

Ji Heyuan’s first reaction was that Jiang Jiang was being bullied.

She hurried over, and almost sprained her foot because she was running too fast.

“Xie Jiang Jiang, are you okay?!”

Jiang Jiang reached out and helped her, and reminded her in a low voice, “Be careful.”

Ji Heyuan looked her up and down, and after confirming that Jiang Jiang was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, “I’m fine.”

She turned her head to look at He Xinyao and the others. After seeing He Xinyao’s embarrassed appearance, Ji Heyuan subconsciously pulled Jiang Jiang back a step, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

“What’s going on?”

Looking at her protective posture towards Jiang Jiang, the resentment and unwillingness in He Xinyao’s heart became stronger and stronger. She really wanted to question Ji Heyuan, what did she think of Zhouzhou?

Clearly, the media had already photographed her and Zhouzhou traveling together hand in hand. Many small fans came to ask her if Zhouzhou was really dating the second young lady of the Linghai Group?

Although He Xinyao felt sour in her heart, and even thought that Ji Heyuan was not worthy of Zheng Zhouzhou at all, she did not deny everyone’s guesses, because she could feel that Zhouzhou liked Ji Heyuan.

She had already planned how to guide public opinion after the two officially announced their relationship. Who knew that Ji Heyuan had no intention of officially announcing it at all, and the online speculation about the two dating was deleted cleanly within a day, and no one dared to mention it again.

Ji Heyuan, you scumbag！

She betrayed Zhouzhou’s deep affection for her, but chose to protect a vicious white lotus.

Xie Xiao was still her sister’s fiancee, so did she want to steal a woman from her own sister?

He Xinyao desperately wanted to expose the Ji family, to reveal their true nature to everyone.

But she hesitated. She feared that revealing this information would expose Zhouzhou as her source, and the Ji family wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate against Zhouzhou.

He Xinyao tightly pinched her palm. She told herself in her heart that all the forbearance today was for Zhouzhou’s future.

Just wait, when Zhouzhou becomes popular, Ji Heyuan will cry and begs her for forgiveness!

He Xinyao fantasized about the scene of retaliating against Ji Heyuan and Jiang Jiang several times in her heart before barely suppressing the hatred and impulse roaring in her heart.

Ji Heyuan remained oblivious to He Xinyao’s simmering anger. While He Xinyao was lost in thought, Jiang Jiang quietly recounted the events.

Through her narration, the few girls also knew the whole story.

For some reason, they found themselves believing Jiang Jiang. He Xinyao’s earlier outburst was still fresh in their minds, she had looked like a mentally unstable person.

Ji Heyuan found the whole situation absurd. With a cold expression, she asked Jiang Jiang, “Is she the one you said was being sarcastic to you in front of the whole class?”

Jiang Jiang nodded. She hesitated, “I don’t know when I offended Classmate He, she hasn’t liked me very much from the beginning.”

As soon as Jiang Jiang finished speaking, the girl who had quarreled with He Xinyao before snorted coldly, “Does a person with a problem in their brain need a reason to hate others?”

She vowed to write a scathing exposé and post it online tonight, ensuring this ungrateful idiot would become infamous.

The feeling of being ostracized washed over He Xinyao again. She was used to bullying others, but to lose twice to Jiang Jiang in such a short time was humiliating.

However, He Xinyao had managed to regain some composure. Looking back, her earlier outburst was clearly a trap set by Xie Xiao!

Xie Xiao was using these minor incidents as a distraction, and He Xinyao had almost fallen for it.

“Xie Xiao.” He Xinyao looked at Jiang Jiang with red eyes. With her messy hair and bloodstains on her face, she suddenly looked a bit pitiful.

“Give me back my recording pen.” He Xinyao said word by word.

The topic returned to the beginning.

Of course, Jiang Jiang couldn’t admit that she took He Xinyao’s recording pen. Ji Heyuan also felt that she wouldn’t do such a thing.

“You haven’t even looked for it, and you’re sure that Xie Jiang Jiang took your recording pen, where did you get your confidence?”

When Ji Heyuan wasn’t being foolish, she had some imposing manner. She looked at He Xinyao with cold eyes, and He Xinyao was really intimidated by her appearance.

Seeing that He Xinyao didn’t speak, Ji Heyuan sneered, “Could it be because the things you recorded are related to Xie Jiang Jiang? And… once these things are leaked, it will have a very negative impact on Xie Jiang Jiang?”

He Xinyao didn’t expect her to guess so accurately. She was a little flustered, although she quickly restrained her expression, the shock in her eyes was still seen by Ji Heyuan.

Ji Heyuan was shocked, “You really fuc**** recorded it?!”

She even sweared, it seemed she is really angry, Jiang Jiang thought.

He Xinyao only panicked for a moment, and quickly reacted, refusing to admit it, “What I recorded was the content of the teacher’s class, I want to go back and review it a few more times, is that not allowed?”

“And according to what you said, does Xie Xiao have something that can’t be known to everyone? Could it be that she has done something wrong?”

Ji Heyuan choked, she certainly didn’t mean that.

He Xinyao’s reaction clearly indicated she’d recorded something incriminating, but Ji Heyuan couldn’t directly accuse her, otherwise wouldn’t that indirectly admit that Jiang Jiang really did something that couldn’t be heared?

Ji Heyuan was speechless for a while. He Xinyao felt that she had the upper hand, and was about to ask Jiang Jiang to return the recording pen to her again when Jiang Jiang suddenly said, “What you two said makes sense.”

“How about this, Classmate He, Xiao Yuan and I can help you find out if the recording pen has fallen somewhere else first. If we really can’t find it, I’ll agree to let you search my body.”

The few girls who were watching also nodded when they heard this, “We can also help find it.”

He Xinyao eyed Jiang Jiang suspiciously, suspecting Xie Xiao was trying to use this chance to throw away her pen. But seeing everyone support Jiang Jiang’s suggestion, He Xinyao couldn’t insist on a body search and reluctantly agreed.

To prevent Jiang Jiang from secretly doing anything, she ignored the others’ attempts to dissuade her and followed Jiang Jiang, even though she was limping.

Seeing that she is determined to find the pen, everyone simply ignored her.

Jiang Jiang had only taken two steps when Ji Heyuan held her shoulder, “You go find a place to sit, I’ll find it.”

Jiang Jiang stopped smoothly, “Then I’ll trouble you, Xiao Yuan.”

After she finished speaking, she smiled and glanced at He Xinyao, “It’s good that Classmate He doesn’t have to follow me all the time.”

He Xinyao glared at her fiercely. This time, she was embarrassed. Although from Ji Heyuan’s appearance until now, He Xinyao hadn’t seen Jiang Jiang stuff anything to her, He Xinyao still suspected that Jiang Jiang must have done something secretly.

She didn’t believe that her recording pen would disappear for no reason.

While everyone was looking for the missing item, He Xinyao gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “Xie Xiao, don’t be too proud, even if Ji Heyuan protects you, so what? She can’t protect you for the rest of your life.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t want to talk to her at all.

Seeing that she ignored her, He Xinyao felt hatred in her heart, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

When did Xie Xiao take my recording pen away?

He Xinyao watched Jiang Jiang anxiously, her gaze searching her face for any signs.

He Xinyao thought that the best situation would be that the recording pen accidentally fell out of her pocket after she fell, and then was picked up by Xie Xiao.

Her recording pen had a real-time upload function, so even if Xie Xiao refused to return it, she could access the recording later.

If it was earlier…

He Xinyao was worried that the recording pen didn’t record the most critical part at all. If that was the case, then what was the use of her finding the recording pen?

Time passed by in He Xinyao’s anxiety. At this time, a girl squatting by the grass suddenly stood up and waved to everyone excitedly, “I found it!”

Everyone gathered around. She spread out her palm, and what she was holding in her hand was He Xinyao’s black recording pen.

He Xinyao anxiously snatched the recording pen, without even saying thank you. The few girls were a little annoyed, but thinking that He Xinyao had scolded people just now, they didn’t find it strange.

“Now that the thing has been found, you can’t blame Xie Jiang Jiang anymore, right?” Ji Heyuan stood next to Jiang Jiang with her arms crossed, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a blank expression, “Can we go now?”

She pursed her lips and muttered, though loud enough for everyone to hear, “It’s really unlucky, I met a crazy person when I came out for an interview.”

“Xie Jiang Jiang, stay away from that lunatic. You don’t want to get tangled up with her.”

He Xinyao was very angry with her words, but thinking that the recording pen had been found, she now wanted to confirm whether the things inside the recording pen were intact, and the injuries on her body had to be treated as soon as possible, so He Xinyao endured it and didn’t quarrel with Ji Heyuan again.

Jiang Jiang had already told the counselor about this matter. The counselor was also taken aback. Jiang Jiang could feel her shock and panic through the screen.

Calculating the time, the counselor should be coming soon.

Moreover, the ambulance should also be on the way. Anyway, He Xinyao was definitely not going to die.

After a restless night, Jiang Jiang was exhausted. She didn’t need to take any further action. Rather than continue dealing with He Xinyao, she just wanted to go home and complain to Ji Xu’an.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar slender figure approaching. Jiang Jiang widened her eyes and turned her head to look. Wasn’t that Ji Xu’an?

Ji Xu’an’s steps were more hurried than usual, and between her loose long hair, a hint of worry was also hidden on her cold and beautiful face.

Jiang Jiang was stunned. She stared unblinkingly at Ji Xu’an, watching the other person’s figure gradually enlarge in front of her, and Jiang Jiang’s eyes slowly turned red.

Ji Xu’an’s gaze was firmly locked on Jiang Jiang. When she saw Jiang Jiang’s slightly red eyes, Ji Xu’an’s steps became noticeably faster.

“Sister…” As soon as Ji Heyuan saw Ji Xu’an, she quickly put down her arms around her chest.

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Jiang suddenly ran forward two steps and plunged into Ji Xu’an’s arms, tightly hugging Ji Xu’an’s waist and burying her face in her neck.

“Sister!” she called out in a muffled voice.

Ji Xu’an was so frightened that her heart stopped for two seconds. After she hugged the person firmly in her arms, she felt like her feet were finally on solid ground.

She wanted to remind Jiang Jiang not to be so reckless next time, so as not to sprain her foot again, but when she thought that Jiang Jiang had just been wronged, Ji Xu’an couldn’t bear to blame her again.

Jiang Jiang only called her once, and then didn’t say anything else, but Ji Xu’an could still feel the grievance in Jiang Jiang’s heart.

The person in her arms hugged her and refused to let go. Ji Xu’an didn’t push her away, but raised her hand and covered the back of Jiang Jiang’s neck, gently holding her head in her arms, as a silent comfort.

Seeing them embrace in public, Ji Heyuan felt like a very awkward third wheel.

She cleared her throat and pretended to look away nonchalantly.

Ji Xu’an hugged Jiang Jiang, raised her eyes and coldly swept her gaze towards He Xinyao. Her aura was too stern and strong, and He Xinyao was so frightened that she didn’t dare to act shamelessly anymore.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Ji Xu’an’s expression was impassive, but her words were fiercely protective. “Student,” he said, “I’m Jiang Jiang’s Sister. Just tell me what the problem is.”

He Xinyao dared to quarrel with Ji Heyuan, but when facing Ji Xu’an, she couldn’t say a word.

Being glanced at by Ji Xu’an’s gaze that seemed to see through everything, He Xinyao only felt as if she had been stripped naked, exposed to the public, and her calculations and thoughts were nowhere to hide in Ji Xu’an’s eyes.

No wonder Zhouzhou repeatedly reminded her not to provoke the Ji family. It turned out that a Ji Heyuan was nothing, and the truly terrifying person was Ji Xu’an.

The cold sweat on He Xinyao’s forehead was about to come out. She was worried that her Weibo would be found out by Ji Xu’an. In that case, would it affect Zhouzhou?

That shouldn’t be possible. To protect her identity, she’d used someone else’s ID to register her Weibo account and never shared any details of her real life.

But she added Xie Xiao on WeChat using a secondary account and forgotten to block her. Although she quickly restricted Xie Xiao from seeing her Moments, she couldn’t be sure if Xie Xiao had seen anything before then.

The more He Xinyao thought about it, the more flustered she became. She tried to comfort herself in her heart, it didn’t matter, she wouldn’t personally expose Xie Xiao, what she wanted to do from the beginning was to sell the recording to the Ji family’s commercial opponents.

If it really didn’t work, she would say that everything was her idea. Even if Ji Xu’an found out who she was, she couldn’t blame it on Zhouzhou.

He Xinyao avoided Ji Xu’an’s gaze, gritting her teeth and not saying a word.

Ji Xu’an seemed to chuckle lightly. Jiang Jiang felt the vibration of her chest, couldn’t help but tighten her arms, and hugged Ji Xu’an even more tightly. She rubbed her cheek against Ji Xu’an’s neck, and her hot breath was all sprayed on Ji Xu’an’s neck.

Ji Xu’an didn’t move, letting her do what she wanted, so Jiang Jiang was even bolder. When she raised her head, her lips seemed to inadvertently brush against Ji Xu’an’s side neck, as gentle and swift as a dragonfly skimming the water.

Ji Xu’an’s body stiffened suddenly, and the words she wanted to say stopped in her throat.

Her mind was a bit muddled, and she had long forgotten what she wanted to say.

Did Jiang Jiang just now, kiss me?

Ji Xu’an became a little absent-minded.

An awkward silence hung in the air before the counselor finally arrived. Seeing He Xinyao’s disheveled state, she was shocked.

“What’s going on with you, why is there so much blood, did you call an ambulance?”

When Jiang Jiang sent her a message, she only said that He Xinyao had fallen, but she didn’t say that she had fallen so seriously.

“I called, it hasn’t come yet.” Someone replied.

The counselor breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Jiang Jiang, “Xie Xiao, you… um? President Ji?”

Linghai Group was a major partner of S University, and Ji Xu’an had personally donated considerable teaching equipment. She also visited the university annually for events, so the counselor recognized her immediately.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Ji Xu’an had handled Jiang Jiang’s sick leave application for her. She was a teacher, knew much more than the students, and knew very well why Jiang Jiang was injured.

Seeming to realize that there were outsiders present, Ji Xu’an closed her eyes, suppressed the surging heat in her heart, and her face returned to its usual aloofness.

“Hello, Teacher Wang.” Ji Xu’an politely greeted the counselor, “I’m here to pick up my sister from school.”

Jiang Jiang also heard the counselor’s voice. She seemed to want to raise her head and withdraw from Ji Xu’an’s embrace, but Ji Xu’an quickly and accurately pressed the back of her head back with her hand.

Seeming to feel that it wasn’t enough, Ji Xu’an’s palm continued to move down.

Before long, Jiang Jiang’s delicate and vulnerable neck rested completely in Ji Xu’an’s hand, her whole body seemingly under her control. Instantly, all her strength ebbed away, and she leaned back against her, limp and boneless.

She heard Ji Xu’an’s voice above her head still calm and composed, but the other person’s heartbeat next to her ear was more intense and rapid than before.

It turned out that Ji Xu’an was far from as calm as she appears.

Jiang Jiang closed her eyes and breathed lightly.

Ji Xu’an didn’t look at Jiang Jiang, but said to the counselor in a calm tone, “I’m sorry, Teacher Wang, Jiang Jiang is timid and was frightened just now…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” The counselor quickly waved her hand.

She was a little nervous, after all, when she saw Ji Xu’an before, the other person was walking with the principal, vice-principal and other leaders.

Seeing that Jiang Jiang was still shrinking in Ji Xu’an’s arms, the counselor said with concern, “Since Xie Xiao is not feeling well, why don’t you take Xie Xiao back to rest first?”

Ji Xu’an had this intention. He Xinyao’s matter could be resolved later, but Jiang Jiang couldn’t keep waiting here.

“Thank you, Teacher Wang, I will arrange for someone to deal with this matter tomorrow.” Ji Xu’an finally took a deep look at He Xinyao, and then lowered her head to coax Jiang Jiang.

“Let’s go first.”

Jiang Jiang bit her lip, “But Classmate He…”

Before Ji Xu’an could speak, the counselor interjected, “It’s okay, I’m here, it’s not early now, you should all go back first.”

She said this not only to Jiang Jiang, but also to Ji Heyuan and the other girls.

Jiang Jiang wanted to say something, but Ji Xu’an raised her hand to brush away the broken hair on Jiang Jiang’s cheeks, and comforted, “It’s okay, Teacher Wang will contact me if there is a problem.”

Only then did Jiang Jiang nod.

Ji Xu’an then let go of the arm around Jiang Jiang and instead took her hand. This action made both of them pause for a moment.

Those same slender, fair fingers tentatively explored each other for a moment before slowly intertwining and clasping tightly, becoming inseparable.

A blush slowly bloomed across Jiang Jiang’s face, the rosy flush spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, painting her fair skin with a delicate springtime hue.

Ji Xu’an took in this charming scene, her long lashes lowered as she silently shifted to the side, subtly shielding Jiang Jiang with her body.

Perhaps her expression was too calm and composed. Except for Jiang Jiang, no one else noticed Ji Xu’an’s little thoughts.

Jiang Jiang subtly curved her lips, allowing Ji Xu’an to shield her.

Ji Xu’an exchanged a few more words with Teacher Wang. Jiang Jiang didn’t speak, but stood obediently behind Ji Xu’an with her head down, showing no sign of the toughness she had when facing He Xinyao, appearing utterly vulnerable, and could only rely on her wife for protection.

Ji Heyuan thought that Xie Jiang Jiang really had the temperament of a little young wife.

She inwardly sighed at the rapid shift from sweetness to the abrupt departure of Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang. Ji Xu’an hadn’t acknowledged her at all, leaving Ji Heyuan completely bewildered.

“Sister, what about me?”

Ji Xu’an seemed to notice her, she looked down at her watch, and her brows furrowed slightly, “Aren’t you going back to the dormitory yet?”

Ji Heyuan: “Ah??”

Ji Heyuan: “Aren’t I going with you?”

Her expression was especially pitiful.

Ji Xu’an was unmoved, she only used three words to answer Ji Heyuan.

“It is inconvenient.”

Ji Heyuan: “Where is it inconvenient! Weren’t we like this a few days ago?”

Ji Xu’an’s thin lips slightly opened, just as she was about to say something, Jiang Jiang behind her suddenly shook her hand lightly.

“Sister, let Xiao Yuan go with us.”

She spoke very close, her voice close to Ji Xu’an’s ear, and Ji Xu’an could hear the subtle trembling in her breath clearly.

She moved her lips and changed her words, “Okay.”

Jiang Jiang’s almond-shaped eyes crinkled with amusement as she whispered a sweet compliment to Ji Xu’an: “Sister is so good.”

Before Ji Xu’an could speak, Jiang Jiang raised her voice and said to Ji Heyuan, “Let’s go, Xiao Yuan.”

Hearing this, Ji Heyuan carefully observed her sister’s reaction, and found that her sister is silent, obviously agreeing.

Okay, okay, I don’t need that sister; my sister-in-law is enough for me!

Tonight, I will teach Xie Jiang Jiang how to completely take down my sister!!
