When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 52

Ji Heyuan stared blankly at Jiang Jiang. The ringtone of the phone was her favorite song. Ji Heyuan used to deliberately listen for a few more seconds, now, she wished it would end immediately.

What was the difference between this and a death warrant?

She vowed that she would change the ringtone when she got back, what a broken song!

Jiang Jiang was still looking at her, Ji Heyuan swallowed, “Why don’t you answer it?”

Strange.

Ji Heyuan stuffed the phone into Jiang Jiang’s hand, as if it was a hot potato.

Jiang Jiang: ……

Could it be that Ji Heyuan is really a fool?

Ji Xu’an was very patient. They had delayed for so long, but she still hadn’t hung up the phone.

As soon as Jiang Jiang answered, she heard Ji Xu’an ask in a cold tone, “Is Jiang Jiang with you?”

Jiang Jiang paused, “Sister, it’s me.”

The Ji Xu’an on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was more than a degree softer, “Jiang Jiang, are you in Xiao Yuan’s dormitory?”

Ji Heyuan, eavesdropping nervously, couldn’t help but purse her lips. Was this favoritism?

However, judging from her sister’s meaning, she just wanted to find Xie Jiang Jiang, and didn’t come to question her, so Ji Heyuan was relieved.

Seeing Ji Heyuan constantly winking at her and pointing at her ear, Jiang Jiang turned on the speakerphone.

“Sister, we’re in the car, preparing to go to the nursing home to see grandma.”

Ji Xu’an remained silent, and Jiang Jiang sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere. She gently nudged Ji Heyuan, urging her to speak.

Ji Heyuan: “Wha..?”

A small sigh escaped her lips before she quickly covered her mouth, but Ji Xu’an still noticed.

Jiang Jiang seemed to hear the keyboard sound on the other end of the phone stop for a moment, and after a few seconds, she heard Ji Xu’an say in a deep tone, “Then you go first.”

Jiang Jiang ahhed, “Is sister coming too?”

Ji Xu’an’s responses were slow and hesitant, leaving Jiang Jiang wondering what she was doing. Jiang Jiang figured Ji Xu’an must be busy; otherwise, she wouldn’t be struggling to answer, right?

Just as Jiang Jiang was thinking, she heard Ji Xu’an ask, “Is it inconvenient?”

Her tone was incredibly flat, yet Jiang Jiang somehow felt Ji Xu’an sounded a little aggrieved.

She shook her head and suppressed this thought.

“There’s nothing inconvenient, when is sister coming, do you want to have lunch together?”

Ji Heyuan’s head was shaking so fast that it was almost a blur. Her face was full of rejection, and she was about to snatch the phone and tell her sister not to come.

Unfortunately, Ji Xu’an didn’t sense Ji Heyuan’s reluctance and replied, “I’ll be there around eleven-thirty.”

Jiang Jiang glanced at her watch, it was already ten forty-five, “Then I’ll wait for sister.”

“Okay.” Ji Xu’an’s tone seemed to be a little lighter.

After finishing the business, she didn’t hang up the phone immediately, but chatted with Jiang Jiang for a few more words.

Perhaps it was because Ji Heyuan hadn’t spoken all the time, Ji Xu’an asked, “What is Xiao Yuan doing?”

Ji Heyuan jolted, “I-I’m reading a book!”

As soon as the words came out, she almost bit her tongue.

Ji Xu’an sneered, and across the screen, Ji Heyuan could imagine how scary the expression on her sister’s face was.

Jiang Jiang interjected, “Xiao Yuan was just talking about her sister.”

Hearing this, Ji Heyuan was almost dumbfounded, she widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Jiang, desperately shaking her head at her.

Please, Xie Jiang Jiang, please spare my pocket money!!

She had already lost her pocket money for half a year and two months, and she couldn’t lose more!

After a few seconds, Ji Xu’an asked, “Talking about me? What did she say?”

Ji Heyuan seemed to hear a hint of threat in her sister’s tone.

Honestly, although she usually gossiped about Ji Xu’an, this time she really didn’t say anything bad about her to Xie Jiang Jiang!

Ji Heyuan put her hands together, and begged Jiang Jiang very humbly.

Jiang Jiang smiled silently, and the dimples on her face followed and loomed, “Xiao Yuan said that sister is very good to me, and asked if I was touched.”

Ji Xu’an didn’t know if she believed Jiang Jiang’s words, but when she spoke again, the invisible pressure in her words disappeared.

She asked Jiang Jiang: “Then were you touched?”

Jiang Jiang turned off the speakerphone smoothly, and put the phone to her ear, “Yeah, probably no one can remain indifferent under sister’s gentle care, right? I can’t be an exception either.”

Ji Xu’an was silent again.

She knew that the heart-stirring feeling Jiang Jiang was talking about was likely not the kind she wanted.

But Ji Xu’an was still a little unwilling. Since Jiang Jiang liked mature women like Chu Yueqi and Fu Xiaoyin, then why couldn’t she also be listed as one of the woman to consider?

Ji Xu’an closed her eyes and rubbed her throbbing temples.

In her final analysis, it was because she was fundamentally different from those two people.

The identity of sister allowed her to have more contact with Jiang Jiang, allowing Jiang Jiang to trust her without any precautions, but at the same time, it also limited Jiang Jiang’s feelings for her.

What she once thought was the best choice had now become the biggest stumbling block on her emotional path.

Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but laugh mockingly at herself. She never expected she’d develop inappropriate feelings for Jiang Jiang, did she?

The repeated reminders and hints at the beginning were still vivid in her mind. Jiang Jiang did a good job, but she slapped herself in the face.

Ji Xu’an took a deep breath, “I have something to tell you… let’s talk about it after we meet at noon.”

After she finished speaking, she asked Jiang Jiang to hang up the phone.

Jiang Jiang handed the phone to Ji Heyuan, and unsurprisingly received a cheap smile.

“What did my sister say to you just now? It’s so mysterious, and you won’t let me listen.”

Especially in the last few sentences, Xie Jiang Jiang actually covered the phone’s earpiece intentionally or unintentionally, so she couldn’t even eavesdrop.

“Nothing.” Seeing that Ji Heyuan didn’t believe her, Jiang Jiang said slowly, “Sister just asked me what you were doing just now.”

Ji Heyuan was silent immediately.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Ji Heyuan rubbed her hands and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Jiang anymore, but reached out and lowered the baffle.

She pulled a long face and asked old Liu: “Did you report me to my sister?”

Old Liu was stunned by the sudden accusation. “I didn’t, Miss! I was driving just now, how could I possibly have reported to President Ji?”

Ji Heyuan snorted, “Fine! I knew you were trying to complain to my sister, and I caught you red-handed!”

Lao Liu:……

Jiang Jiang watched this scene with a smile. Ji Heyuan still had the mind to joke with Old Liu, so it seemed that her mood hadn’t been affected by Zheng Zhouzhou.

This showed Zheng Zhouzhou’s influence over Ji Heyuan was waning. Perhaps when that influence disappeared completely, any chance of a relationship between them would be gone, wouldn’t it?

Although Zheng Zhouzhou seemed to have been forced to a dead end by her at this time, Jiang Jiang still didn’t dare to relax. After all, Zheng Zhouzhou was the protagonist of this book, and the benefactors she encountered in her long life were far more than just Ji Heyuan.

There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens in this world. There are always characters that even Ji Xu’an can’t deal with. If Zheng Zhouzhou happened to meet such a person, the current situation might change immediately.

Jiang Jiang thought of He Xinyao, who was still in the hospital. To completely cut off Zheng Zhouzhou’s path, it was best to make her unable to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry again.

It just so happened that Zheng Zhouzhou had always wanted to guide netizens to cyberbully her,and Jiang Jiang planned to use her own methods to give Zheng Zhouzhou a taste of her own medicine.

She had already paved half of the road for He Xinyao, and how to walk the remaining half depended on her own choice.

Jiang Jiang suppressed her smile, lowered the car window to let in the cool air, and waited until she’d calmed down before taking out her phone and slowly starting to type.

The next chapter was about Jiang Xiaozhi fighting a vicious villain.

…

When Grandma Ji heard that Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan were coming, she specially took out the tea leaves she had treasured for a long time.

Ji Heyuan usually looked carefree, but she was still quite obedient in front of her grandmother. She was holding Grandma Ji’s hand, answering whatever she asked, and was very well-behaved.

Jiang Jiang watched this scene with rapt attention, her eyes full of astonishment. Ji Heyuan was a little embarrassed by her gaze, and said deliberately in a rough voice, “Grandma, don’t just ask me, also ask Xie Jiang Jiang.”

Grandma Ji patted the back of her hand, “Jiang Jiang is much more obedient than you, I’m not worried at all.”

She let go of Ji Heyuan’s hand and turned to look at Jiang Jiang, “Is Xu’an treating you well recently, has Xiao Yuan bullied you?”

“Everything is fine, grandma doesn’t have to worry about me.” Jiang Jiang held up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for the old lady.

Ji Heyuan was lucky enough to sample tea brewed by Jiang Jiang herself. Flattered, she took delicate sips. The first taste was slightly bitter, followed by a subtle sweetness, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

Ji Heyuan’s fingers itched to take action again. Forgetting her earlier worry about Ji Xu’an deducting her allowance, she excitedly snapped two photos and sent them to Ji Xu’an.

[Ji Heyuan: Come quickly, you won’t be able to drink the tea that Xie Jiang Jiang personally brewed if you’re late.]

After a long while, Ji Xu’an replied to her.

[Ji Xu’an: Heh.]

Ji Heyuan was confused by this “Heh”.

What does this mean?

Could it be that sister doesn’t like the tea brewed by Xie Jiang Jiang?

Ji Heyuan couldn’t help but raise her head and glance at Jiang Jiang, but Jiang Jiang didn’t look at her, but sat next to Grandma Ji and asked in a low voice, “Grandma, how is your health recently? Does your chest still feel uncomfortable?”

As soon as Jiang Jiang thought that the original book said that Grandma Ji passed away at the end of this year, she couldn’t help but feel a tightness in her heart, and panic and helplessness almost overwhelmed her.

The story didn’t clearly state the reason for Grandma Ji’s death, only that she passed away suddenly, and Ji Heyuan and Ji Xu’an were caught off guard.

At first, Jiang Jiang thought that the old lady had hidden illnesses, but after several contacts, she learned that Grandma Ji had regular physical examinations, and Ji Xu’an was also very concerned about her health. Whenever the old lady had a headache or fever, Ji Xu’an would ask the doctor to carefully check what was wrong.

So there probably wasn’t any undiscovered disease in Grandma Ji’s body.

Jiang Jiang suspected whether the old lady’s death was an accident or man-made?

If someone was doing something bad, Ji Xu’an couldn’t have failed to find out.

What Jiang Jiang was most afraid of was fate, because man-made things could be prevented, but how could fate be changed?

Jiang Jiang’s guess was not without basis.

In the story, Zheng Zhouzhou wanted to be with Ji Heyuan, and there were two obstacles to face, one was Ji Xu’an, and the other was Grandma Ji.

As long as either of them remained opposed, Zheng Zhouzhou would never be able to marry Ji Heyuan.

At first, Ji Xu’an firmly disagreed, but since Grandma Ji passed away, Ji Xu’an’s discipline of Ji Heyuan had relaxed a lot, and later it reached a state of complete indulgence.

Probably because she only had Ji Heyuan as a relative in this world, so no matter what Ji Heyuan wanted to do, Ji Xu’an let her do it.

This just benefited Zheng Zhouzhou even more.

Although Zheng Zhouzhou’s plan had been destroyed a lot by her now,  Jiang Jiang still worried that the plot’s power couldn’t be completely overcome., what if grandma again…

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but shudder.

Grandma Ji held her hand tightly, her face worried, “My body is fine, but you, why do you seem to have lost weight again?”

Jiang Jiang pulled back her wandering thoughts and showed a shallow smile to Grandma Ji, “I haven’t lost weight, I’ve gained two pounds.”

“It’s better for a little girl to have some meat to look better.” Grandma Ji said, and suddenly turned her head to look at Ji Heyuan, “Xiao Yuan, you go find Xiao Chen and ask her to prepare more dishes that Jiang Jiang likes to eat.”

Ji Heyuan was stunned, “How do I know what Xie Jiang Jiang likes to eat?”

Grandma Ji glared at her, “Go ask Xu’an.”

Ji Heyuan wanted to say that Jiang Jiang was sitting here, who could know better than her what she liked to eat?

But under Grandma Ji’s serious gaze, Ji Heyuan had to stand up and walk out, “Okay, okay, I’ll go right away.”

The door closed behind her, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ji Heyuan’s mind. Could it be that grandma deliberately wanted to send me away?

She wanted to say some private words, and wouldn’t let me listen?

Ji Heyuan quietly pressed her ear to the door, but couldn’t hear anything.

She was so anxious that almost half of her body was pressed on the door, her posture was particularly strange.

Unfortunately, the sound insulation of the room door was too good, and Ji Heyuan still didn’t hear anything. Before she could change her posture again, someone suddenly patted Ji Heyuan’s shoulder hard from behind.

Ji Heyuan was startled, and almost jumped up, “Who is it?!”

She turned her head and looked, and her eyes met a heroic face. The woman was more than half a head taller than her, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp and cold, with a sense of righteousness.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her tone was also cold, “What are you doing, miss?”

Ji Heyuan was a little scared, she felt like she was caught by the police for doing something bad, and her aura weakened subconsciously.

“I didn’t do anything.” Ji Heyuan straightened her waist, trying to make herself not lose, “Who are you, mind your own business.”

The woman smoothly produced her credentials, “I am Qu Jingran, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the S City Public Security Bureau.”

Ji Heyuan looked at the person on the photo and the woman in front of her had the same appearance, and couldn’t help but swallow, “I, I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”

Qu Jingran raised her eyebrows and glanced at the closed door next to her, “Let me remind you, eavesdropping on other people’s privacy is illegal.”

Ji Heyuan’s face turned red when she said that, what eavesdropping!

She was annoyed and angry, “The people inside are my grandma and my sister-in-law, is it illegal for me to listen to them?”

And I didn’t hear anything!

Qu Jingran’s face was serious, “Eavesdropping without the permission of others, even relatives, is not allowed.”

Ji Heyuan suspected that she was deliberately picking on her, “Then it’s okay if I don’t listen, right?”

She cursed in her heart that there was something wrong with this person, and turned around to leave with a stinky face.

Qu Jingran stepped aside, letting Ji Heyuan pass. As Ji Heyuan brushed past, she softly clicked her tongue and murmured, “Ji Heyuan, you really don’t recognize me anymore?”

Ji Heyuan, who was still angry, subconsciously wanted to scold her, but in the next second, she reacted and stopped abruptly.

“What?”

…

Inside the room.

After Ji Heyuan left, Grandma Ji asked about the emotional development between Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an.

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes with a shy face, “Recently, sister’s attitude towards me has softened a lot, but I’m not sure if she only treats me as a sister, or…”

Grandma Ji thought for a while, “It’s okay, grandma will help you ask.”

Jiang Jiang bit her lip, “Grandma, I heard people say that sister seems to have someone she liked before?”

Grandma Ji was stunned, “Who did you hear that from?”

Jiang Jiang didn’t report Fu Xiaoyin’s name, but only said that she heard it when she went to Ji Xu’an’s company last time.

Grandma Ji pondered for a long time, “Xu’an rarely talks to me about this, but I think, if she really has someone she likes, she wouldn’t hide it from me.”

“Most of it is just everyone’s misunderstanding.”

After Grandma Ji finished speaking, she looked at the still uneasy expression on Jiang Jiang’s face, and immediately understood what she meant.

She comforted, “Don’t be afraid, in grandma’s heart, you are the most suitable person for Xu’an. Even if other people appear in the future, grandma will definitely only help you.”

Jiang Jiang was told her thoughts, and her cheeks were blushing, “Thank you, grandma.”

Grandma Ji looked at the joy and shyness that couldn’t be stopped in Jiang Jiang’s eyes, and her heart was both happy and emotional.

She hoped that Jiang Jiang could get what she wanted, not only for Jiang Jiang, but also to make Ji Xu’an live a relaxed and happy life.

Jiang Jiang’s heart and eyes were pure, and she was deeply in love with Xu’an. If she was with Xu’an, she would definitely be very good to Xu’an.

Ji Xu’an was busy with work for a long time, and her eyes were only on making money, and she didn’t care about her private affairs at all. She needed someone to be with her all the time to fill her empty life.

Grandma Ji didn’t lie, she did think that Jiang Jiang was the most suitable candidate.

Just as the two were talking, the room door was suddenly opened from the outside. Jiang Jiang thought it was Ji Heyuan who had returned, but when she turned her head, the person who walked in was Ji Xu’an.

“Sister?”

Ji Xu’an heard the surprise in Jiang Jiang’s tone, and she closed the door with her backhand, “Who did you think it was?”

Jiang Jiang picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of hot tea, and explained in a soft tone, “Xiao Yuan went out just now, I thought it was her who came back.”

She said it in a way that was both coquettish and subtly flattering.

Ji Xu’an’s tight eyebrows and eyes relaxed, “I didn’t see her.”

She sat down next to Jiang Jiang with a natural expression, not avoiding it at all. When she reached out to take the teacup, her forearm almost touched Jiang Jiang’s arm.

Grandma Ji took this scene into her eyes, and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Jiang with a meaningful look. Jiang Jiang’s face turned even redder.

Ji Xu’an took a sip of the clear tea, and the tea fragrance that was bitter first and then sweet filled her mouth and tongue. A trace of amazement flashed in her eyes, and she praised without stinginess, “It’s very fragrant.”

Jiang Jiang’s lips curved, “If sister likes it, I’ll brew it for sister to drink next time.”

Ji Xu’an set down her teacup and looked at Jiang Jiang intently. “I have two more tea cakes. I’ll have someone send them to your apartment another day. You can brew and enjoy them.”

Jiang Jiang, unsure of the reason for the gift but happy to accept Ji Xu’an’s generosity, replied obediently, “Thank you, Sister.”

Grandma Ji clicked her tongue twice, then chuckled, “Didn’t you say you were going to collect them?”

Ji Xu’an’s face didn’t change, “I bought them with money, so I have to taste them.”

Jiang Jiang looked at Ji Xu’an in surprise, and said in a low voice, “If sister wants to collect them, there’s no need to waste them.”

Ji Xu’an seemed to laugh very lightly, “If you like it, it’s not a waste.”

Hearing that, Jiang Jiang’s cheeks and ears flushed crimson. She avoided Ji Xu’an’s gaze by taking a sip of tea, but could still feel the other woman’s eyes on her.

Jiang Jiang’s eyelashes were drooping, and even her peripheral vision was well-behaved, and she didn’t glance at Ji Xu’an at all.

Ji Xu’an withdrew her gaze and winked at Grandma Ji.

Grandma Ji understood and said to Jiang Jiang, “Why hasn’t Xiao Yuan come back after going for so long, Jiang Jiang, why don’t you go take a look?”

Jiang Jiang guessed that she had something to say to Ji Xu’an, and she stood up, “Okay, sister, you stay with grandma first, I’ll be right back.”

As she turned, Jiang Jiang’s skirt brushed against Ji Xu’an’s arm. Ji Xu’an’s fingers twitched slightly, and she looked up at Jiang Jiang, her eyes flickering with something unreadable.

It wasn’t until Jiang Jiang completely walked out of her sight that Ji Xu’an straightened her body again and looked at Grandma Ji seriously.

“Grandma, I have something I want to discuss with you.”

…

When Jiang Jiang found Ji Heyuan, she was sitting on a bench, lost in thought.

“Xiao Yuan.” Jiang Jiang walked over.

Ji Heyuan raised her head to look at Jiang Jiang, her expression was actually a little sluggish, “You’re here.”

Jiang Jiang looked at Ji Heyuan’s eyebrows, and her gaze gradually stayed on Ji Heyuan’s slightly swollen lips, where there seemed to be a little tooth mark left.

Jiang Jiang stood in front of Ji Heyuan, “Xiao Yuan, why don’t you go back, what are you doing sitting here?”

She turned her head left and right to scan the surroundings, and didn’t seem to find any suspicious people.

Ji Heyuan seemed to be numb, “I’m thinking about life here.”

“Oh.” Jiang Jiang asked her, “Do you need me to think with you?”

Ji Heyuan wiped her face, “No, I’ve almost thought it through, let’s go back.”

She wanted to stand up, but Jiang Jiang pressed her shoulder first, “Wait.”

“It’s a bit stuffy inside the room, I want to get some fresh air, can you sit with me for a while?”

If it had been before, Ji Heyuan would have waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, but at this time she just moved to the side, giving Jiang Jiang a seat.

“Sit down.”

Something was wrong.

The tooth marks on Ji Heyuan’s mouth didn’t look like she bit herself, and combined with her obviously somewhat absent-minded expression, Jiang Jiang’s heart sank. Could it be that Zheng Zhouzhou had come just now?

Anyway, Ji Xu’an and grandma wouldn’t finish talking for a while, so Jiang Jiang first focused on Ji Heyuan.

“Xiao Yuan.” Jiang Jiang sighed.

She sat on the bench with her legs together, looking up at the white clouds floating in the sky. The sun was a bit dazzling, Jiang Jiang reached out to block it, and her tone was also a bit light, “Did someone bully you just now?”

Ji Heyuan reacted greatly, and she almost fell off the bench, “What are you talking about? Who bullied me!”

She was obviously very guilty, but she had to pretend to be nonchalant, “Who dares to bully me?”

Jiang Jiang looked at her quietly, her eyes were not sharp, but Ji Heyuan didn’t dare to look her in the eye.

“No one bullied me…” Ji Heyuan defended in a very low voice.

Jiang Jiang’s eyes were clear and bright, “Then was your mouth bitten by a bug?”

As soon as Ji Heyuan heard this, she quickly covered her mouth, “I… I bit it myself.”

Even children wouldn’t believe this.

Unable to hide it any longer, Ji Heyuan simply gave up, declaring，”It wasn’t bitten by a bug, it was bitten by a dog!”

Her tone was gnashing her teeth, and her anger was beyond words.

Qu Jingran, that idiot!

She must slap her hard next time she meets her!

Jiang Jiang couldn’t figure out whether the dog in her mouth was Zheng Zhouzhou.

She hesitated, “Miss Zheng…”

Ji Heyuan’s expression froze, and the hand wiping her lips also stopped. After a long while, she put down her arm unnaturally and said in a muffled voice, “This is just an accident, don’t tell Zhouzhou.”

Oh, so it wasn’t Zheng Zhouzhou who bit her.

Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised a smile again, comforting, “It’s okay.”

“If a dog bites you, you can bite back next time.”

Ji Heyuan: “Ah??”

Wait a minute, regardless of whether that “dog” was real or not, Xie Jiang Jiang’s statement is incredibly explosive!

Besides, if I kissed back, wouldn’t that just make Qu Jingran feel like she got away with it?

Ji Heyuan held back for a long time, and said, “I won’t bite her, I’m going to beat her to death!”

Jiang Jiang sensed something from her tone, “The person who bit you, is someone you know?”

Ji Heyuan was about to deny it, when a shadow suddenly fell on her head.

“Ji Heyuan.”

Ji Heyuan seemed to hear the wailing of a ghost. Hearing these three words again, she was going to have nightmares!

Jiang Jiang looked at the person who came, and the other person was also looking at her straightly, with a hint of scrutiny in her cold and hard eyebrows.

Jiang Jiang’s gaze moved down, and only then did she see that the other person was also carrying a bag in her hand, which seemed to contain two ointments.

So she went to buy medicine for Ji Heyuan.

Qu Jingran carried the plastic bag in one hand, and put her other hand on Ji Heyuan’s shoulder without avoiding it, her expression was calm and composed.

“Aren’t you going to introduce me?”
