When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 5

Jiang Jiang was a little stunned for a moment.

Ji Xu’an, however, had been holding back a bellyful of fire. She had been enduring it in front of her grandmother, and only after walking out of the nursing home did she unceremoniously expose Xie Xiao’s false mask.

She believed that she had been considerate enough, not embarrassing Xie Xiao in front of her grandmother.

“Did you take everything I said last night as me farting?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t even give Jiang Jiang a chance to defend herself. She coldly stared at the uneasy expression on Jiang Jiang’s face, thinking that she was still acting at this point.

“This is my last warning to you, Xie Xiao.”

Ji Xu’an’s tone was more indifferent and impatient than ever before. “Don’t play tricks in front of Grandma. No matter how much you please Grandma, whether you can stay in the Ji family is up to me, understand?”

She was much taller than Jiang Jiang, and when she looked down at Jiang Jiang, she carried a blatant contempt from a high position.

“Don’t think that…” Ji Xu’an said, her face suddenly approaching, forcing Jiang Jiang to raise her neck to see her eyes clearly, “…pleasing Grandma will be able to influence my decision.”

Her aura was too awe-inspiring, Jiang Jiang took two steps back in a panic, her back pressed tightly against the wall, her eyes widened as she looked at Ji Xu’an uneasily.

At this moment, the figure of the person in front of her seemed to overlap with that of the high-ranking Princess Huaining, and Jiang Jiang even suspected that Ji Xu’an would draw her sword and kill her in the next step.

She subconsciously held her breath, and the hand hanging by her side grasped the long skirt tightly, not even knowing when her eyes turned red again.

Ji Xu’an chuckled, with just this little bit of courage, she dared to play tricks in front of me.

She straightened her body and moved away from Jiang Jiang a little, “The Ji family doesn’t lack your share of food, provided that you are really obedient.”

“Just be obedient, otherwise you can only sleep on the streets.” Ji Xu’an threatened.

Jiang Jiang nodded her head vigorously. Her thoughts, which had stopped turning due to Ji Xu’an’s sudden attack, finally started up again.

“I’m sorry, Sister Xu’an, I didn’t mean to cry in front of Grandma just now.” Jiang Jiang bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down, “I didn’t want to alienate you and Grandma’s relationship. You are Grandma’s own grand-daughter, and the relationship between you is not something I can influence.”

As expected, it was because of her gaffe just now that Ji Xu’an misunderstood her intentions.

“Don’t perform a show in front of me, I’m not blind.” Ji Xu’an was unmoved, “It doesn’t matter what you think, I only look at the results.”

Jiang Jiang knew that Ji Xu’an would not listen to her explanation. Several chats were enough for her to understand Ji Xu’an’s character clearly. Compared with empty promises, Ji Xu’an believed in actual behavior more.

“I know, I won’t do it again in the future.” Jiang Jiang said softly.

It was enough for such a mistake to be fatal once today. If she hadn’t been able to control her emotions in front of Old Mrs. Ji, she wouldn’t have made Ji Xu’an even more dissatisfied with her.

Ji Xu’an didn’t like her in the first place, and now she must hate her even more.

Jiang Jiang didn’t know whether she believed it or not. Ji Xu’an hooked her lips and showed a light smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, “I hope you really remember this time.”

Jiang Jiang was so well-behaved, looking like she would do whatever Ji Xu’an said.

Ji Xu’an suspected that she was fooling herself, but it didn’t matter, Jiang Jiang couldn’t make any big waves anyway.

She didn’t say anything more, raised her foot and walked towards the car parked at the door, took two steps, and suddenly stopped again.

Jiang Jiang was thinking in her heart about how to change Ji Xu’an’s opinion of her. Seeing that Ji Xu’an was not leaving, she could only stop as well.

What was it again? I should have behaved well enough just now, right?

In the past, in the Duke’s mansion, whenever she pretended to be obedient, her parents would stop scolding her.

Could it be that the tricks that had always worked so well were not working for Ji Xu’an?

Jiang Jiang blinked her almond eyes, only to see Ji Xu’an frown slightly and turn her head to look at her, her tone indifferent, “Except in front of Grandma, don’t call me sister at other times.”

“I don’t have the hobby of randomly recognizing sisters.”

Jiang Jiang: “…Oh.”

She’s so fierce.

Jiang Jiang recalled the young woman’s address to Ji Xu’an in the nursing home just now, and tentatively said, “Then I’ll call you…President Ji?”

Ji Xu’an withdrew her gaze, “Whatever you want.”

She bent over and sat in the car, leaving Jiang Jiang with only a cold profile.

Jiang Jiang also got into the car, she sat in the corner, far away from Ji Xu’an, and stared at her hands in a daze.

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak either. She crossed her legs and leaned against the back of the chair, supporting her head with her left hand, and closed her eyes to rest.

Jiang Jiang glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and the bold idea in her mind emerged again.

Perhaps marrying Ji Xu’an was really the best way to break the plot.

Why was Zheng Zhouzhou in the story so afraid of me?

Because she was worried that Ji Heyuan would fall in love with me, so she used a plan to force me to death.

But just like Xie Xiao said, as long as she married Ji Xu’an, she would become Ji Heyuan’s sister-in-law. No matter how much a bastard Ji Heyuan was, it was impossible for her to fall in love with her sister-in-law.

In this way, Zheng Zhouzhou should be relieved, right?

Or…I could marry someone else, as long as she became a married woman, she would no longer pose a threat to Zheng Zhouzhou.

It’s just that in this way, Jiang Jiang had to consider another question. This marriage contract was set by Xie Xiao’s grandmother before she passed away. Unless the marriage contract was formally cancelled with the consent of both parties, she would always be Ji Xu’an’s person.

It was impossible for her to entangle with others under the name of Ji Xu’an’s fiancée. Moreover, if the person she found was not as powerful as the Ji family, Zheng Zhouzhou would still have a reason to harm her.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jiang could only focus on Ji Xu’an.

The problem was that Ji Xu’an was too repulsive to her, and Jiang Jiang couldn’t find a reason to please Ji Xu’an at all.

She wasn’t stupid, Ji Xu’an’s saying that she would marry her was obviously just bluffing her. Ji Xu’an must be wishing to kick her out of the Ji family’s gate right now.

Jiang Jiang closed her eyes and made a decision in her heart.

She didn’t think about making Ji Xu’an fall in love with her, that was unrealistic, as long as Ji Xu’an was willing to marry her.

She would be a sensible wife, everything would be based on Ji Xu’an, and she would serve Ji Xu’an as her superior.

So…how could I get Ji Xu’an to agree to marry me?

Jiang Jiang looked at Ji Xu’an’s reflection on the car window and fell into deep thought.

——

Ji Xu’an first sent Jiang Jiang back to the old house, and then asked the driver to turn around and go to the company.

On the way, she received a video call from Ji Heyuan. Ji Xu’an first raised the partition in the car, and then answered the call.

“What’s the matter?”

Ji Heyuan choked, “Can’t I call you if I have nothing to do?”

Looking at Ji Xu’an’s expressionless face on the screen, Ji Heyuan silently swallowed back the words she was going to say to be funny.

“Sister, I heard that you have taken Xie Xiao back to the old house, is it true?”

“Yes.” Ji Xu’an nodded.

“I…no way?!” Ji Heyuan almost said a swear word, she stared at Ji Xu’an with wide eyes, “Are you really going to marry her?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Ji Heyuan couldn’t wait to grab Ji Xu’an’s shoulders and shake her awake.

“My dear sister, could it be that you’ve been cursed by Xie Xiao?”

“What does she have to offer! An orphan whose parents are both dead…”

Before Ji Heyuan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ji Xu’an, “Ji Heyuan..”

She frowned, “Did I teach you to speak ill of people behind their backs?”

Although she didn’t like Xie Xiao either, she only resented Xie Xiao’s petty tricks. As for her family background, that wasn’t something Xie Xiao could choose.

Ji Heyuan shouldn’t use this to belittle Xie Xiao.

Besides…what qualifications did Ji Heyuan have to talk about Xie Xiao, weren’t they the same?

Ji Heyuan regretted her words as soon as they came out of her mouth. Her words not only attacked Xie Xiao, but also tore open the wound between her and Ji Xu’an.

Ji Heyuan closed her mouth sullenly under Ji Xu’an’s displeased gaze, but soon she snorted dissatisfiedly and muttered in a low voice, “In short, she’s not worthy of you, I don’t accept such a sister-in-law.”

Ji Xu’an rubbed her temples, didn’t explain anything, but only warned Ji Heyuan coldly, “I have my own arrangements for this matter, don’t let me know that you are bullying her behind my back.”

She only wanted to spend these six months peacefully. As long as Xie Xiao was a little more well-behaved, Ji Xu’an wouldn’t deliberately target her.

Similarly, she wouldn’t allow Ji Heyuan to do this either.

Ji Heyuan heard Ji Xu’an’s protection of Xie Xiao, and she was so angry that she deliberately said in a strange tone, “How dare I, she is my future sister-in-law, I still have to give her face.”

Her tone was very sour, and there was also a hint of imperceptible panic and fear.

The sister who used to only have her and grandma in her heart seemed to be about to belong to someone else.

“Xiao Yuan.” Ji Xu’an sighed helplessly, “Come back when you’ve had enough fun, Grandma is talking about you every day.”

Ji Heyuan touched her nose, “I’ve already booked the plane ticket.”

After hearing that Xie Xiao had moved into the old house, Ji Heyuan immediately booked a plane ticket. She called Ji Xu’an, just to test Ji Xu’an’s attitude towards Xie Xiao.

Unexpectedly, her wise and beautiful sister was actually fascinated by that scheming woman!

In order to prevent Ji Xu’an from suspecting anything, Ji Heyuan also pretended to say, “Anyway, school will start in a few days, I’ll just go back to pack my things.”

Ji Xu’an remained noncommittal, “You can do it yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Heyuan secretly vowed that she must keep a good check on her sister. She wanted to see what was so good about that Xie Xiao that was worth her sister’s protection.

At this time, Jiang Jiang was still in the villa preparing the gift she was going to give to Ji Xu’an.

Without her knowing it, the original plot had already changed.

In the novel, because there was no marriage contract, Ji Heyuan’s attitude towards “Xie Xiao” was curiosity and sympathy. Even because of their similar backgrounds, she had an imperceptible pity for “Xie Xiao”.

So she quickly accepted “Xie Xiao”.

But now, Ji Heyuan only had full of defense and rejection towards Jiang Jiang.

She was very afraid that Jiang Jiang would steal her sister.

——

Jiang Jiang was huddled in the room making a video call with Xie Xiao.

The white jade exquisite mirror was placed squarely on the desk by her. Jiang Jiang sat in front of the desk, brought the mobile phone close to the mirror surface, and struggled to learn how to use WeChat.

“Click on the option below, no, no, not this one, it’s another one.” Xie Xiao tried hard to get closer to the mirror surface, so anxious that she was about to drill out of the mirror.

Jiang Jiang listened very carefully, and she barely understood the meaning of these words with a combination of guessing.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiang had a good memory. Even if there were some places she didn’t understand, as long as Xie Xiao taught her once, Jiang Jiang could remember how to do it.

However, she hadn’t learned Pinyin yet, so she could only type by hand, which was relatively slow.

“You can use my old one if you want, anyway, there’s no one good to contact in the list.” Xie Xiao didn’t care.

But after all, that was Xie Xiao’s privacy. After thinking it over, Jiang Jiang decided not to use hers.

“Then you register a new account.”

With Xie Xiao’s help, Jiang Jiang registered a new account, and then the two of them got stuck on the naming part.

“Uh…or, you can call yourself Jiang Jiang Doesn’t Eat Ginger?”

“Huh?” Jiang Jiang felt that this name was a bit strange.

Xie Xiao said seriously, “This kind of nickname format is very popular, and it happens to be the same as your name, listen to me, it’s guaranteed to be right!”

Jiang Jiang filled in these five words with some skepticism. She took a picture of herself for the profile picture. Xie Xiao hesitated, but in the end, didn’t say anything.

Jiang Jiang liked this profile picture very much, because when Xie Xiao taught her how to use the mobile phone just now, her favorite function was taking pictures.

After filling in all the information, the WeChat account was created successfully. Jiang Jiang put down the mobile phone and ran to the closet with her footsteps, and found the note that Chu Yueqi gave her from her black backpack.

She returned to the desk with a cheerful expression. Xie Xiao took a closer look and vaguely felt that the note looked a bit familiar.

“This is…”

Jiang Jiang continued her words, “This is what Sister Chu gave me, her…telephone number?”

That’s what it’s called, right?

Xie Xiao’s heart suddenly sounded an alarm, “Are you really going to add her, Jiang Jiang, you’re so naive, don’t be deceived by bad people.”

Jiang Jiang blinked, and a warm current surged in her heart. She explained, “I promised her, I can’t break my promise.”

Xie Xiao also understood this principle, she curled her lips, “Forget it, add her if you want, I’m just reminding you to be careful.”

That Chu Yueqi said she wanted to be friends with Jiang Jiang, tsk, I don’t believe it at all.

Looking at Jiang Jiang’s round cheeks, Xie Xiao felt the mood of an old mother for the first time. She was really worried that Jiang Jiang would be bullied.

While slowly entering Chu Yueqi’s mobile phone number, Jiang Jiang assured, “Don’t worry, Xiao Xiao, I’m not that easy to be deceived.”

She said these words with that childish face, and there was really no credibility at all.

After sending the friend request, Jiang Jiang thought about it and asked Xie Xiao, “Should I also add Ji Xu’an as a friend?”

She didn’t tell Xie Xiao in detail what happened at the hospital today, because with Xie Xiao’s personality, she would definitely be very angry if she knew that Ji Xu’an had said such things again.

Jiang Jiang only revealed her plan to please Ji Xu’an.

Xie Xiao nodded vigorously, “Of course, if you add her as a friend, you can send her good morning and good night messages every day.”

Wouldn’t that fascinate Ji Xu’an to death?

“However, do you have her phone number?”

Jiang Jiang wasn’t sure, “I should have it, she told me that she saved a number in the phone that can contact her.”

Xie Xiao hummed twice, “It’s good that she has a little…”

Before she could finish her words, Xie Xiao seemed to be suddenly muted.

The people inside and outside the mirror both fell silent.

Because Ji Xu’an only saved one phone number in Jiang Jiang’s mobile phone, and the huge three words “Secretary Zhao” were hanging alone in the address book.

It turned out that Ji Xu’an never thought of giving her contact information to Jiang Jiang.
