Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 518: Borrowed by the Strategy Team Again
"What happened now? Did you and Xu Lingling have another fight?"
"Heh~, what do we have to argue about? She's my elder."
Jiang Xingye was speechless: "You're just neighbors, not related by blood. Your families are of similar social standing, can't you just get along?"
Of the three, Tan Younian is the happiest. Although his parents each have their own lives, his mother has a large share in the company, and his older brother is an elite successor who keeps his illegitimate children in check and dotes on his younger brother.
Unlike him, who lived on the blood and lives of his own mother, constantly facing death in the Jiang family, walking on thin ice, and even after finally growing up, he still had to hide his true thoughts.
As for Fu Ciyuan, he was born to the first wife of the Fu family, but the Fu family had many children, and someone like him with little ability could only serve as a marriage alliance.
"You don't understand!"
A hint of impatience flashed in Jiang Xingye's eyes, feeling that he was taking his good fortune for granted.
"Hey, Hoshino, your receptionist is a bit different. I didn't expect you to like her." Fu Ciyuan looked at the three women over there. Only his woman seemed timid, while the other two were calm and composed. Xu Lingling was fine, after all, she had lived a privileged life since childhood.
The receptionist's background was even worse than his friend Qiaoqiao's.
"She's not the receptionist," Jiang Xingye retorted.
"What do you mean? You got promoted? You're now your secretary."
"She'll start working at the municipal government next week. She passed the exam herself." Jiang Xingye didn't even realize that his tone carried a hint of pride.
"That's a new approach. You didn't make a move?"
"No, she took the exam entirely on her own." Jiang Xingye recalled the image of her saying she would protect him.
She seems to know about his affairs, but how did she find out? The events of that year were covered up tightly by the Jiang family and that woman's family; someone of her status shouldn't be able to find out.
These two friends were Jiang Xingye's drinking buddies. They had brought women with them again today, and they were behaving in a relatively civilized manner. Xu Lingling got drunk in no time, and Tan Younian took her away afterward.
Jiang Xingye also broke up with Fu Ciyuan.
"Okay, let's meet again next time." Fu Ciyuan nodded and led Yu Qiao to the car to wait for the designated driver.
"How is Jiang Xingye doing?"
Yu Qiao thought for a moment nervously, "I'm sorry, she's not easy to approach, I didn't talk to her for long."
"Heh, a canary in a gilded cage is getting all haughty? It's fine if you're hard to approach, but you don't need to be subservient to everyone."
"Hmm." Yu Qiao turned to look out the window, his eyes stinging. He constantly reminded himself not to forget his identity; she was a kept woman.
But how should we account for the feelings she invested from the very beginning?
"What is it now?" Fu Ciyuan asked, sounding somewhat impatient.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
"I won't take you out next time. Go to sleep early."
Yu Qiao didn't say anything, but continued to let him see the back of her head, while tears quietly streamed down her face.
A fire ignited in Fu Ciyuan's heart: "What happened? That woman bullied you. I'm calling Jiang Xingye."
"No, no, she's a very nice person, how could she bully me?" Yu Qiao turned around and pressed his hand down, tears hanging on her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
Fu Ciyuan's heart softened: "Okay, I won't hit you anymore. What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't ask." Yu Qiao felt a pang of sadness. How could she explain it? Should she say that she was hurt by the term "canary"? But this man provided for all her needs, and even if she went out to work, she wouldn't earn much money.
She currently lacks the courage to face the life of an ordinary person, yet desires the dignity of being kept by a sugar daddy. She has neither the status to engage in romantic relationships, nor the ability to resist temptation.
While things were awkward here, the atmosphere was much better on Ning Wei's side.
Jiang Xingye had been drinking and had called a designated driver. He leaned against her in the back seat.
"Take some time to get a driver's license, and I'll buy you a car then."
"Okay." Ning Wei brushed his hair aside with her hand.
"If you don't like those two women, you don't have to force yourself," Jiang Xingye said softly.
The two men I met today are among his better drinking buddies. He wants to cultivate the image of a wealthy young master who lives a carefree life, but he also dislikes noisy people. Even when he's hanging out with these two, he still maintains certain boundaries.
"It doesn't matter whether I like them or not, it's just a matter of getting along well when we meet," Ning Wei said nonchalantly. Those two women were simple-minded and easy to see through.
Ning Wei naturally finds suitable ways to get along with the people she wants to socialize with.
"Hmm." Jiang Xingye stopped talking.
Not long after, Ning Wei started working. On her first day, Jiang Xingye got up early and drove her there.
"Don't be nervous." Jiang Xingye's Land Rover didn't stop in front of the municipal government building, but instead stopped at a street corner nearby.
"Okay, go back now. I'll take a taxi home after get off work tonight, you don't need to pick me up."
"I won't come if I'm busy," Jiang Xingye gave an ambiguous answer.
Ning smiled and touched his earlobe, then opened the car door, got out, and headed to her new battlefield.
When Jiang Xingye went to the company in the afternoon, he met someone he disliked very much, Jiang Xingyu, his half-brother.
"You're not even paying attention at work! What time is it?"
Jiang Xingye's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened: "Jiang Xingyu, this is the head office. What does how I work have to do with you, a branch manager?"
"Bad bamboo can hardly produce good bamboo shoots."
"You're right, our father was indeed not a good man."
"Our mothers are different!"
Jiang Xingye was getting increasingly annoyed. It was the same routine he'd been living since he was a child, with nothing new to offer.
Jiang Xingyu's branch office was losing a lot of money, so he went back to the head office to be scolded. He was already in a bad mood, and then he saw the bastard child he hated the most, which made him even worse.
"Want to go to the rooftop for a coffee later? Enjoy the view from up there and reminisce about the way you came," Jiang Xingyu said with a mischievous grin.
"No need, I have other things to do." Jiang Xingye had become numb from the stimulation. When he was young, he was powerless to resist being taken to high places several times, which triggered his stress and caused him to fall ill. Later, his grandfather spoke up and forbade him from being stimulated, so the malice directed at him decreased, but it did not disappear. It just moved to a darker corner.
"The stress hasn't subsided yet? How about trying desensitization therapy?"
Jiang Xingye arrived at his floor first. After he got out, he glanced at Jiang Xingyu in the elevator.
What kind of look was that?
Dark, indifferent, devoid of emotion, yet seemingly containing a darkness capable of destroying everything.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and when they reached the floor where Uncle Jiang lived, Jiang Xingyu suddenly snapped out of his daze and gritted his teeth inwardly.
Bastard, just you wait!
