When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 53

Jiang Jiang also tilted her head and stared at Ji Heyuan, “Xiao Yuan, who is this, is she your friend?”

Ji Heyuan spat, “I don’t know her, she’s probably here to scam me.”

She twisted her shoulders to avoid Qu Jingran’s hand. Not only that, Ji Heyuan also deliberately patted her shoulders heavily a few times, as if she had touched something dirty.

Seeing this, Qu Jingran’s smile didn’t change at all. She stuffed the bag in her hand into Ji Heyuan’s hand, “Apply some medicine, it will get better faster.”

While Qu Jingran was talking to Ji Heyuan, Jiang Jiang had been looking at her. She also found similar wounds on Qu Jingran’s mouth to Ji Heyuan’s. Combining this with Qu Jingran’s act of buying medicine, it was not difficult to conclude that Ji Heyuan’s mouth should have been bitten by her.

Jiang Jiang sat on the bench and watched the show silently.

Ji Heyuan didn’t notice her interested gaze. She pushed the things Qu Jingran stuffed to her to the ground with force, and then looked up at Qu Jingran angrily, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears flashing inside.

“I don’t need you to pretend to be kind!”

If it wasn’t for Qu Jingran, would my mouth be hurt?!

Ji Heyuan felt a mixture of sadness and anger when she thought that her first kiss was gone like this, and her gaze towards Qu Jingran became more and more unkind.

Although this matter couldn’t be entirely blamed on Qu Jingran, after all, she almost fell when Qu Jingran pulled her. And who would have thought that things would be so bloody, when Qu Jingran pulled her over, their lips just happened to collide!

She thought this kind of plot would only appear in idol dramas, who knew she would also experience the feeling of an idol drama heroine.

Ji Heyuan was almost dumbfounded at the time. When she reacted, she found that Qu Jingran hadn’t let go of her yet, so Ji Heyuan was furious and subconsciously bit Qu Jingran hard.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the wound on Qu Jingran’s lips was much more serious than hers.

But if it wasn’t for Qu Jingran going crazy and stopping her, Ji Heyuan wouldn’t have argued with her, and she wouldn’t have sprained her foot because she wanted to avoid Qu Jingran. This series of things wouldn’t have happened, so everything was Qu Jingran’s fault.

Ji Heyuan wiped her mouth angrily, and her fingertips were stained with a trace of blood again, and her lips were stinging like needles. So Ji Heyuan looked up at the bright red tooth marks on Qu Jingran’s mouth for a long time, and only then did she feel better in her heart.

It’s alright, Qu Jingran will only suffer more than I did.

Qu Jingran looked at the medicine thrown on the ground. There was no special expression on her face, and she didn’t feel annoyed by Ji Heyuan’s rejection. Under the gaze of Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan, she bent down and picked up the bag, “If you don’t apply medicine, the wound may become inflamed.”

Ji Heyuan smiled coldly, “I don’t need you to worry about it, I still have the money to buy medicine.”

Qu Jingran didn’t insist, she lowered her head and put the ointment into her pocket, “Okay then.”

After that, Qu Jingran didn’t say anything anymore, she lowered her head, and her expression seemed to be a bit downcast.

If she kept pestering, Ji Heyuan might be even more angry, but Qu Jingran’s compromising attitude left Ji Heyuan feeling strangely unsettled instead.

She couldn’t help but think, actually it wasn’t entirely Qu Jingran’s fault, I also had a little bit of responsibility, a tiny bit, no bigger than a fingernail!

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but sigh secretly. In a few words, Ji Heyuan’s anger was dispelled by this woman, isn’t this method much better than Zheng Zhouzhou’s?

Why didn’t such a resourceful woman appear in the original book?

Qu Jingran was particularly sensitive to other people’s gazes. She turned her head and met Jiang Jiang’s gaze. At the moment when the two’s eyes collided in the air, Qu Jingran’s fingers hanging by her side curled up very slightly.

The girl in front of her gave her a very strange feeling. She looked pure and harmless, and the smile on her face was even more gentle and sweet, but for some reason, Qu Jingran felt that she was not simple.

Probably because she stared at Jiang Jiang for too long, Ji Heyuan also noticed something was wrong, and she stood in front of Jiang Jiang sideways, “What are you looking at?”

“I warn you, she is my sister-in-law, if you dare to do anything to her, my sister will definitely not let you go.”

Qu Jingran was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of astonishment, so this girl was Ji Xu’an’s girlfriend?

She hadn’t heard of it, but she thought Ji Heyuan wouldn’t deliberately lie to her.

Jiang Jiang could clearly sense that Qu Jingran’s gaze had softened considerably, even carrying a hint of subtle flattery; all traces of her earlier cold scrutiny were gone.

Jiang Jiang didn’t feel particularly flattered. The smile in her eyes was always faint, a polite aloofness.

The three of them suddenly fell into silence. After half a minute, Jiang Jiang took the lead in breaking the silence.

“Xiao Yuan, let’s go back, don’t let sister and grandma wait too long.”

Jiang Jiang stood up and nodded to Qu Jingran, then turned and walked in the direction she came from.

Ji Heyuan followed closely behind her, and secretly turned her head to make a silent gesture to Qu Jingran.

If you dare to talk nonsense, you’re dead!

Qu Jingran was silent, she watched the backs of the two thoughtfully, and a deep thought appeared in her eyes.

Ji Heyuan seemed to listen to her sister-in-law very much.

…

After Jiang Jiang walked out a distance, she turned her head slightly and glanced with her peripheral vision. Qu Jingran was still standing there, seemingly looking this way.

“Xiao Yuan.” Jiang Jiang withdrew her gaze, and then looked at Ji Heyuan, “You and that lady…”

Ji Heyuan shook her head frantically, “I have nothing to do with her, don’t think too much.”

When she spoke, her eyes were a little evasive, and she licked her lips uncomfortably.

Jiang Jiang didn’t expose her, she was still thinking about why this person hadn’t appeared in the original book.

Qu Jingran’s eyes towards Ji Heyuan were clearly meaningful. Although she had only said a few words, Jiang Jiang could feel that this person’s personality was quite strong. Since she liked Ji Heyuan, there was no reason for her to watch Ji Heyuan be with someone else.

“I know you two have nothing to do with each other.” Jiang Jiang first affirmed Ji Heyuan’s statement, and after Ji Heyuan breathed a sigh of relief, she said softly, “But listening to you talk, it seems that you are quite familiar with her.”

Ji Heyuan didn’t realize that Jiang Jiang was inquiring about information, and she hesitated for a few seconds, “It’s not very familiar, I’ve only seen her before.”

She clearly didn’t want to continue the conversation, and Jiang Jiang, sensing this, smoothly changed the subject. “She has a fierce aura, and looks like…”

Ji Heyuan naturally took over the topic, “Yes, she is from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.”

Jiang Jiang seemed to have thought of something, and her face became much more serious.

She remembered another thing mentioned in the original book.

This year, S City cracked a major drug trafficking case, captured dozens of drug dealers, and when they finally arrested the drug lord, more than a dozen policemen were sacrificed, one of whom seemed to have a high position.

This matter was on the hot search for several days, but because it didn’t have much to do with the plot of the original novel, it was only mentioned by Ji Heyuan.

Jiang Jiang suddenly had a bold guess, could it be that Qu Jingran was among those sacrificed policemen?

If that was the case, it would explain why Qu Jingran had never appeared before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but feel a little heavy in her heart. The reason why she could enjoy peace and tranquility now was because some people paid the price of blood and life.

Could she do her best to change something?

Ji Heyuan noticed Jiang Jiang’s reaction was odd. After she mentioned Qu Jingran being from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Jiang Jiang had been looking at her with a very subtle, almost unreadable expression.

How should I put it? It feels like I’m a fat sheep being eyed by a hungry wolf.

She rubbed the goosebumps that popped up on her arm, “What are you looking at me for?”

“It’s nothing.” Jiang Jiang showed her a gentle smile, “I just want to ask you, Xiao Yuan, have you thought about how to explain to sister and grandma how the wound on your mouth came from?”

“Ah?” Ji Heyuan subconsciously raised her hand to touch her stinging mouth, and then gasped.

She tentatively asked carefully, “If I say, I accidentally bumped into it myself, do you think it’s credible?”

Jiang Jiang’s lips lightly hooked, “What do you think?”

…

Inside the hospital room.

After Jiang Jiang left, the room was quiet for a while. Grandma Ji looked at the leisurely Ji Xu’an opposite her, and probably guessed what she wanted to say.

She slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes narrowed slightly, “The tea brewed by Jiang Jiang is indeed very delicious, what do you think?”

Ji Xu’an poured herself another cup, “Yeah.”

She raised her eyes to meet Grandma Ji’s meaningful gaze, the expression on her face was still calm and composed, but the fingers holding the teacup tightened subtly, “Grandma, what do you think of Jiang Jiang?”

Grandma Ji tsked twice inwardly. This was a rare sight. She’d thought she’d never see Ji Xu’an fall in love in her lifetime. No kidding, Grandma Ji had genuinely prepared herself for Ji Xu’an to grow old alone.

“Of course Jiang Jiang is good. She’s sensible, obedient, and has a kind and filial personality. If I didn’t think she was good, would I accept her as my god-granddaughter?”

Ji Xu’an was planning to lower her head to drink some tea to moisten her throat, but after hearing this, her movements stopped, and the rim of the cup stopped at her lips, without moving for a long time.

After a moment, Ji Xu’an put down the teacup with a straight face, and looked at Grandma Ji with calm eyes, “When did you accept her as your god-granddaughter?”

Grandma Ji raised her eyebrows,” You’re already Jiang Jiang’s sister, so isn’t she my god-granddaughter?”

“Speaking of which.” Grandma Ji pretended not to see Ji Xu’an’s tight lips, and said with a smile, “A few days ago, someone asked me about Jiang Jiang, saying that there was a granddaughter in her family who was the same age as Jiang Jiang, and asked me if I could arrange for the two children to meet.”

“What do you think, Xu’an?”

Ji Xu’an answered without thinking, “I don’t think it’s good.”

Grandma Ji smiled, “Why not? I’ve also heard of that child, she’s a good girl, as well-behaved as Jiang Jiang, and they must have topics to talk about.”

Ji Xu’an twitched the corners of her mouth, “If it’s just to make friends, of course there’s no problem, but other things are out of the question, Jiang Jiang doesn’t like people her age.”

Grandma Ji pretended to be confused, “How do you know Jiang Jiang doesn’t like people her age, does Jiang Jiang already have someone she likes?”

After saying this, she could clearly feel Ji Xu’an’s emotions drop, which made Grandma Ji feel a little strange.

She thought Ji Xu’an would take the opportunity to admit it, but who would have thought that Ji Xu’an would show that she was unwilling to answer this question, but judging from her reaction just now, she clearly had special thoughts about Jiang Jiang.

Grandma Ji couldn’t help but think, could it be that Xu’an still doesn’t know that the person Jiang Jiang likes is her?

This was very interesting.

Grandma Ji’s words carried a bit of probing, “Although Jiang Jiang is not very old, she is already an adult and can fall in love. If she really has someone she likes, you, as her sister, don’t forget to help her keep an eye on them.”

Hearing this, the expression on Ji Xu’an’s face became even more indifferent, “Grandma, Jiang Jiang doesn’t have anyone she likes right now.”

She looked straight at Grandma Ji, “What I want to tell you is this, didn’t you always want Jiang Jiang to be your granddaughter-in-law before?”

“Now, do you still have this idea?”

Grandma Ji frowned slightly, pretending not to hear her meaning, “I did want Jiang Jiang to be my granddaughter-in-law, but didn’t you disagree?”

While saying this, Grandma Ji observed Ji Xu’an’s reaction, “What do you mean by saying this now? Could it be that Xiao Yuan…”

Ji Xu’an rarely interrupted her unfinished words, “No.”

Ji Xu’an knew her grandmother had understood her, and now she was just pretending to be stupid and wanted to force her to admit it herself.

Even when she first decided to ask her grandmother for help, Ji Xu’an had anticipated this moment, so she felt no embarrassment now.

“Grandma, I want to try to start another way of life with Jiang Jiang, but because of what happened before, Jiang Jiang now seems to only treat me as her Older Sister, so I want to ask for your help. ” The look in Ji Xu’an’s eyes was particularly serious. She chose to say these words after careful consideration.

The smile on Grandma Ji’s face slowly faded, she stared at Ji Xu’an for a long time before asking in a deep voice,” Do you know what this means?”

Jiang Jiang was not an object that could be abandoned at will, and Grandma Ji would never allow Ji Xu’an to play with Jiang Jiang’s feelings. If Ji Xu’an really chose to take this step, then she would most likely marry Jiang Jiang in the future.

“I know.” Ji Xu’an’s eyes were particularly firm.

“If a person must choose a partner to spend their lives with, then in my heart, this candidate will only be Jiang Jiang, and can only be Jiang Jiang. Besides her, no one else will do.”

Grandma Ji didn’t speak again, seemingly not trusting her words.

Ji Xu’an knew that this was because her previous attitude was too cold, so now that she changed her mind and said she wanted to marry Jiang Jiang, the old lady would think she was joking.

In fact, Ji Xu’an herself also felt surprised. Before realizing that she liked Jiang Jiang, she had never had such thoughts, but once she understood her feelings, Ji Xu’an eagerly wanted to become partners with Jiang Jiang.

Even she herself couldn’t understand why her feelings for Jiang Jiang had changed so quickly. Clearly, she didn’t care about Jiang Jiang when they first met.

But then, in the daily interactions, Ji Xu’an vaguely felt as if a certain seal in her body had been gradually lifted. Her soft-heartedness and moving feelings towards Jiang Jiang were all subconscious. On closer inspection, it was more like a long-term habit.

Sometimes Ji Xu’an would think that her interactions with Jiang Jiang were so easy and natural, as if they had known each other for a lifetime, so long that it felt like they were lovers destined to be together in a past life.

It’s no wonder Grandma Ji suspected her. She and Jiang Jiang had only been together for a short time, and now she was saying that she liked her. No one would believe it.

After a long silence, Grandma Ji sighed very lightly, “Have you told Jiang Jiang about these thoughts of yours?”

Grandma Ji was sure that Jiang Jiang definitely didn’t know Ji Xu’an’s thoughts, and Ji Xu’an didn’t know Jiang Jiang’s feelings for her either, otherwise she wouldn’t have said that Jiang Jiang only treated her as a sister.

These two children clearly had feelings for each other, but they both mistakenly thought that the other party didn’t have the same feelings for them.

Grandma Ji, as the only insider, could have directly told Ji Xu’an the truth, but she changed her mind. If some things came too easily, they might not seem so important.

So she chose to pretend to know nothing.

Ji Xu’an rarely showed a disappointed expression in front of Grandma Ji. Her thick eyelashes were half-drooping, and her tone sounded a little low and muffled, “I haven’t told her.”

She hadn’t won Jiang Jiang’s love yet, and if she confessed at this time, Jiang Jiang would definitely be frightened by her, and would avoid her.

Even the most decisive person would hesitate and be uneasy in terms of feelings, because there were too many things to consider. Ji Xu’an didn’t dare to take risks easily.

Grandma Ji knew that Ji Xu’an’s posture was half true and half false. There was a hint of disappointment, but given Ji Xu’an’s determined nature—her tendency to get what she wants—even if Jiang Jiang truly didn’t reciprocate her feelings, Ji Xu’an would likely force the issue.

She is just doing this now to soften her heart.

Grandma Ji wanted to laugh a little. It was also a very interesting thing to watch her always strong and taciturn granddaughter use this kind of trick in front of her.

“Then how can you be sure that Jiang Jiang will definitely like you? What if the person she likes is someone else and she doesn’t want to marry you, wouldn’t I become an accomplice?”

What Grandma Ji said made sense, but Ji Xu’an still vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Grandma had always wanted to bring me and Jiang Jiang together, so why does she show some reluctance in her words now?

Was it really like she said, she didn’t want to delay Jiang Jiang?

Or did she already have a more suitable candidate in her heart?

Ji Xu’an looked at Grandma Ji’s face without showing any signs, but calmly replied, “Jiang Jiang doesn’t like me now, but I will try to change her mind. I don’t need grandma to force her to do anything, just as long as grandma can say a few good words for me from time to time.”

These words were exactly the same as what Jiang Jiang had said at the beginning. Grandma Ji was already so happy in her heart. These two people deserved to be destined wives, and even the reasons for persuading me are the same.

She pretended to think for a while before compromising, “Okay, if Jiang Jiang doesn’t reject it, I will help you.”

Ji Xu’an breathed a sigh of relief very lightly, and felt that the big stone in her heart had finally landed.

She picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, and then restored her graceful and unhurried appearance, “In that case, grandma, your friend’s granddaughter doesn’t need to be introduced to Jiang Jiang anymore.”

This time, Grandma Ji really couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You still remember this?”

“There is no such person at all, I said it to trick you.”

Ji Xu’an:”……”

Ji Xu’an said nothing, but her crossed legs shifted, then recrossed. She used the act of lowering her head to sip her tea to mask the blush creeping onto her cheeks.

…

When Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan returned to the tea room, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed and peaceful.

When Grandma Ji saw Jiang Jiang coming back, she waved her to come over, while Ji Xu’an looked at Ji Heyuan.

Her gaze immediately fell on Ji Heyuan’s lips, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “What’s wrong with your mouth?”

Ji Heyuan’s body tightened, and almost subconsciously, she turned her head to look at Jiang Jiang for help.

Jiang Jiang didn’t disappoint her either, and helped her out, “Xiao Yuan almost fell on the road just now, luckily she didn’t get hurt, her mouth was accidentally bitten at that time.”

She was not telling the truth, but listening to Jiang Jiang’s explanation, people who didn’t know would think she had seen it with her own eyes, at least Grandma Ji believed it.

However, Ji Xu’an stared at Ji Heyuan for a while, and didn’t know if she believed it.

After she moved her gaze away, Ji Heyuan cast a grateful look at Jiang Jiang.

It’s good to have a sister-in-law!

Jiang Jiang returned a shallow smile.

Ji Xu’an took in the eyebrow exchange between the two, and her face became more and more tense, but she didn’t say anything.

Ji Heyuan observed for a while, and found that her sister didn’t seem to have noticed anything, so she also relaxed and began to act cute around Grandma Ji.

It was just that a small incident occurred again during the meal.

According to the usual habit, Grandma Ji sat in the main seat, Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an sat on her sides respectively, and Ji Heyuan would sat next to Ji Xu’an.

But Ji Heyuan had lied just now, and was still a little guilty, so she planned to sit with Jiang Jiang.

Just as she pulled out the chair, Ji Heyuan heard Grandma Ji call her, “Xiao Yuan, you sit on my side.”

Ji Heyuan: “Ah?”

She was pulled by Grandma Ji and sat on her left hand side with a dumbfounded expression. The old lady’s right hand side was Jiang Jiang, and Ji Xu’an sat on Jiang Jiang’s right side.

Only then did Ji Heyuan realize that Ji Xu’an was sitting in the position she wanted to sit in just now.

Ji Heyuan seemed to understand a little.

Fine, my opinion is not important, as long as the other three were happy.

Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an were both very satisfied with Grandma Ji’s arrangement, and they all cast a grateful look at Grandma Ji in a subtle way.

During the meal, Ji Xu’an’s gaze was mostly on Jiang Jiang, and she would also give Jiang Jiang food from time to time.

When Jiang Jiang ate something delicious, she would also put it in Ji Xu’an’s bowl, “Sister, you eat too.”

The distance between the two was not far, and when they spoke in a low voice, their shoulders would inevitably touch each other, neither of them pulled away, and they leaned closer and closer to each other tacitly.

The two of them were so affectionate, which made Ji Heyuan feel redundant. She thought, it’s good to have grandma with her.

Just as she was thinking, Ji Heyuan saw Jiang Jiang also put a piece of stewed pork knuckle that was soft and rotten for grandma,” Grandma, try this.”

Ji Heyuan:……

Ji Heyuan also handed over her bowl, “I also want…”

Before she could finish a sentence, she was interrupted by Ji Xu’an’s light glance.

Ji Heyuan: Okay, okay, okay.

She withdrew her hand and angrily ate two big mouthfuls of white rice with tears in her eyes.

It’s okay, I have my own hands, I will pick up whatever I want to eat!

In the end, Grandma Ji couldn’t stand it anymore and lovingly put a piece of ribs for her.

Eat quickly, don’t disturb the young couple’s love.

After the meal, Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan had to go to school again, and Ji Xu’an also had to go back to the company.

The few people walked out of the nursing home, and Ji Heyuan looked around, but didn’t see Lao Liu.

“Where’s the car?” she muttered in a low voice.

Ji Xu’an opened the car door of the passenger seat, turned around and looked at the two, “I’ll take you.”

Ji Heyuan was very self-aware. Seeing this, she didn’t wait for Ji Xu’an to speak again, and she got into the back seat by herself, and quickly fastened her seat belt.

“Let’s go, let’s go”. she urged.

Jiang Jiang also got into the car. After she sat down, Ji Xu’an went around to the other side.

The car started slowly. Ji Heyuan, pleasantly full and content, slumped back into the car seat. She rubbed her stomach, about to chat with Jiang Jiang, when she saw the partition between the front and back seats slowly rise.

Ji Heyuan:??!!

Ji Heyuan was dumbfounded. Through the last gap, she saw her sister seem to glance at her in the rearview mirror. The emotions in that glance were deep and difficult to distinguish.

Ji Heyuan:”…..”

This was obviously guarding against me.

What are they whispering to each other that I can’t hear?
