After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 9

The place where Qin Cen lived had an extremely poor environment. Liang Manqing was thinking of a reason to bring her to her side, but as soon as the thought flashed, the system forcibly began programming Liang Manqing.

System: 【Host, Qin Cen’s poor situation is also a necessary condition to help her blacken. You don’t need to help her solve it.】

Liang Manqing’s running speed did not slow down. She couldn’t bring herself to ignore Qin Cen’s plea for help now.

System: 【Host, you have already wasted too much time. Being kinder to Qin Cen is detrimental to completing your mission. Don’t you want to return to your original world?】

Of course, Liang Manqing wanted to, but not at Qin Cen’s expense.

Liang Manqing: 【The target Qin Cen needs to kill after she blackens is me. I will not allow others to harm her.】

The system was utterly stumped. How could there be such an obstinate Host? Unacceptable. It must help Liang Manqing quickly complete the second step in promoting the female supporting character’s blackening: locking the female supporting character by her side.

Liang Manqing arrived in less than a minute. The rental room door was tightly shut, and clear sounds of fighting could be heard inside.

There was a man’s rough voice, and Qin Cen’s frantic cries telling him to get out as she threw things.

“Qin Cen!”

Liang Manqing tried to push the door several times but couldn’t, as it was locked from the inside. The door was made of poor-quality wood and was not sturdy. Liang Manqing raised her foot and kicked it.

After several kicks, a crack appeared on the door. With Liang Manqing’s final violent kick, the door crashed down.

The man heard someone arrive and cursed: “Which blind idiot…”

Before he could finish, Liang Manqing swung her fist and smashed him in the eye. Alpha strength was immense. After two punches, the man’s eye was red, swollen, and bruised, and he couldn’t see clearly.

Liang Manqing clenched her fist and punched the man’s nose: “Was the lesson I gave you last night not enough, huh?!”

The man was the drunk from last night. After sobering up, he felt resentful and decided to attempt something indecent with Qin Cen.

The man was bleeding from his eyes, mouth, and nose, and he begged for mercy in a rough voice: “I won’t dare to do it again! Please give me a chance and let me go!”

Liang Manqing hated men who bullied the weak the most. She pinned the man to the floor and twisted his hands behind his back: “Don’t move!”

The man’s twisted face was pressed against the floor. He tried to resist. Liang Manqing pressed her knee into his arm. As he moved, Liang Manqing twisted hard, almost snapping the man’s arm.

The man cried out in pain and didn’t dare to move again.

The police arrived quickly and apprehended the man. The other two roommates finally dared to come out, trembling as they asked Qin Cen: “Are you okay?”

Qin Cen hugged herself tightly, shaking her head with a pale face.

Liang Manqing took off her jacket and draped it over Qin Cen’s thin shoulders. Watching her frightened state, she couldn’t say a word.

Qin Cen did nothing wrong, yet she had to endure malice from everyone, forcing her down the path of blackening.

Liang Manqing asked: “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Qin Cen still didn’t speak.

The police officer handcuffed the man and walked over: “I need one of you to come with me to take a statement.”

Liang Manqing: “I’ll go.”

Qin Cen grabbed her wrist: “I’ll go with you.”

Liang Manqing looked at the almost transparently fair fingers on her wrist and nodded gently.

Coming out of the police station, Qin Cen was unsteady on her feet. Liang Manqing supported her shoulder: “What’s wrong? Let me see.”

Liang Manqing knelt down to check the wound on Qin Cen’s leg, only to find a cut on her knee where the blood had already dried.

Liang Manqing: “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“No need. It’s just a small injury. It’ll be fine in a few days.” Qin Cen said lightly. She had suffered injuries like this countless times in her previous life, and they would heal without treatment.

“It’s safer to get a check-up at the hospital. What if you have other wounds that you’re not telling me about?” Liang Manqing finished speaking, bent down, and picked up Qin Cen: “Besides, you’re going to be a movie star in the future. You can’t have scars.”

The Alpha’s strong, powerful arms held Qin Cen close. Liang Manqing’s movements were extremely gentle, afraid of hurting any hidden wounds Qin Cen might have.

Qin Cen was stunned for a moment. When she realized what was happening, Liang Manqing had already carried her to the back seat of the car.

At the hospital, Liang Manqing arranged a full-body check-up for Qin Cen. The doctor mentioned an injury on Qin Cen’s back.

Liang Manqing’s guess was right. Qin Cen would only endure her pain silently.

After all the checks were done, Liang Manqing asked Qin Cen to stay in the hospital for observation for a day. Qin Cen stubbornly refused: “The doctor said there’s no need for hospitalization. I just need to change the dressing in a couple of days.”

Liang Manqing couldn’t win the argument and could only agree: “I’ll listen to you, but you must let me know when it’s time to change the dressing.”

Qin Cen nodded. Just as she was about to walk out, she heard a familiar voice call out to her from behind.

“Sister, what a coincidence.”

Qin Cen pretended not to hear, but the person quickly walked over and blocked her path: “Sister, you haven’t been home in a long time. Mom and Dad and I miss you so much.”

Qin Nuo’s harmless face appeared before her, smiling innocently. In her previous life, Qin Cen was fooled by her deceptively innocent appearance.

Qin Cen curved her lips: “I’ve been busy lately.”

Qin Nuo linked arms with Qin Cen: “No matter how busy you are, you have to come home! The day after tomorrow is Mom’s birthday. Aren’t you coming back to celebrate with her?”

Qin Cen subtly pulled her arm free. Recalling the scene of her mother Kang Shu’s birthday in her previous life, her eyes turned cold: “Of course I’m coming back.”

Qin Nuo smiled happily: “That’s great! Mom and Dad will be so happy to know you’re coming back.”

Mom and Dad will be happy?

Qin Cen sneered inwardly. If they truly cared about her, they wouldn’t have been unaware that she was about to be homeless.

Liang Manqing sensed Qin Cen’s fatigue and that her conversation with Qin Nuo was merely for show, so she stepped forward to intervene: “Qin Cen, it’s time to go back.”

Qin Cen looked at Liang Manqing and nodded slightly.

Qin Nuo had already noticed Liang Manqing but wasn’t sure if she was Liang Manqing, the daughter of the Liang family. Her mother had shown her many photos of prominent people in C City. Seeing her up close now, it was definitely Liang Manqing.

Qin Nuo said in surprise: “You’re Liang Manqing?”

Liang Manqing supported Qin Cen and slowly walked out, ignoring everything Qin Nuo said.

Qin Cen looked back and saw Qin Nuo’s look of embarrassment and anger, feeling a bit satisfied, though she hadn’t expected Qin Nuo to know Liang Manqing.

Qin Cen placed her hand on Liang Manqing’s wrist: “Why did you ignore her just now?”

Liang Manqing: “I don’t know her.”

Qin Cen said: “Her name is Qin Nuo. She’s technically my sister.”

Liang Manqing realized with an “oh.” The book mentioned that Qin Cen grew up in an orphanage until she was an adult when she was taken back by the Qin family. Qin Nuo was adopted after Qin Cen went missing, so they were not related by blood. However, Qin Nuo was spoiled and doted on since childhood and felt unbalanced by the sudden arrival of an older sister. So, she secretly made trouble for Qin Cen everywhere. Because Qin Nuo was so good at pretending, Qin Cen never knew her true colors and treated her like a real sister.

There truly wasn’t a single good person around Qin Cen. No wonder she gradually became twisted. Liang Manqing felt a surge of pity for Qin Cen.

Outside, the light rain started to pick up again.

Liang Manqing helped Qin Cen into the car, trying to figure out where to take her. Qin Cen couldn’t possibly continue living in her current place alone.

Liang Manqing thought for a moment and called Liang Jinshan. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

Liang Jinshan’s authoritative voice came through: “Manqing, what is it?”

Liang Manqing calculated: “Dad, do you have another villa outside?”

“W-what is it?” Liang Jinshan’s voice sounded somewhat nervous.

“It’s like this, Dad. You don’t come home often, and I’m moving back recently. Why don’t you just stay outside and not come back?” Liang Manqing pursed her lips and said: “It’s good that none of your things are here, so you don’t have to move them.”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end. Liang Jinshan said faintly: “Have I been kicked out of my own house by you?”

“Of course not.” Liang Manqing chuckled a few times: “Let’s leave it at that. If you decide to come home, remember to give me a call.”

Liang Jinshan still had things to say, but Liang Manqing hung up the phone. She didn’t have the money for a different place for now, so she could only take over the Liang house. Besides, Liang Jinshan had plenty of places to stay and didn’t come back to this house more than once a year.

With all of that settled, Liang Manqing organized her thoughts, figuring out how to get Qin Cen to agree to move into the Liang residence with her.

She pondered for a while. The rain was getting heavier, and the wind was picking up, blowing coldly.

Qin Cen rolled down the car window halfway. Rain mixed with wind hit her face: “Liang Manqing, the rain is getting heavier. Why aren’t you getting in the car?”

Liang Manqing walked over to the car window, holding an umbrella to block the wind and rain. The two looked at each other under the umbrella.

Qin Cen thought she was acting strangely.

Liang Manqing hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she felt something constrict her throat. The words that came out were forcibly changed, becoming blunt and direct: “You look very much like the white moonlight I have cherished in my heart for many years. Would you be willing to come to my side and be her stand-in?”

Liang Manqing bit her lip tightly after speaking. The Scumbag System had ambushed her, changing her language program and forcing her to follow the male lead’s plot.

“Listen to me, I’m not…” Liang Manqing couldn’t get a single word of explanation out. She could only open her mouth without making a sound.

It’s over, it’s over. All the goodwill she had managed to gain with Qin Cen was now completely ruined.

She expected Qin Cen to fiercely refuse, but unexpectedly, Qin Cen smiled faintly: “Alright.”

Liang Manqing’s mouth hung open in surprise. How could this be?

Qin Cen rolled up the window and said: “Get in the car.”

Since Liang Manqing was treating her as a stand-in, Qin Cen would just treat Liang Manqing as an inhibitory drug. They were both getting what they needed, so neither party would have a burden in their hearts.

However, Qin Cen felt a bit disappointed. She had thought Liang Manqing’s actions over the past few days were genuinely helpful, but it turned out it was only because she looked like the “white moonlight” in Liang Manqing’s heart.

Those back portraits were indeed Liang Manqing’s true love.

Qin Cen dismissed the distracting thoughts and resolved not to easily trust anyone again.

Liang Manqing drove to Qin Cen’s residence: “Miss Qin, since you agreed to come to me, I should be responsible for your personal safety. I’ll help you pack your things, and you’ll come back to the Liang residence with me.”

Qin Cen clenched her fist: “There’s no need for that.”

Liang Manqing’s eyes were gentle: “I won’t feel at ease leaving you here alone.”

That look was again dangerously captivating. Qin Cen looked away. Liang Manqing had already gone up to help her pack.

Qin Cen had very little luggage and didn’t need any packing. One suitcase was enough.

The rental room door, which Liang Manqing had kicked down, was lying on the floor. When Qin Cen returned, her two roommates were complaining that she had kicked it down and hadn’t paid for the repairs.

Seeing her two roommates, Qin Cen felt a wave of frustration. In that situation just now, none of her roommates came out to help her, which was chilling.

Liang Manqing threw a stack of money on the table: “Please go and fix the door yourselves. We’re leaving.”

The roommates’ eyes lit up when they saw the stack of money, and they quickly agreed.

Liang Manqing picked up the suitcase and walked up to Qin Cen, saying in an unquestionable tone: “Let’s go, Miss Qin.”

Liang Manqing’s personality might have always been this forceful, and her behavior these past few days was merely a disguise. Qin Cen almost forgot that she was originally Jiang Hejing’s associate.

Qin Cen reached for the suitcase: “I’ll take it myself.”

Liang Manqing didn’t give it up and carried the suitcase downstairs. Neither of them spoke the entire way.

Liang Manqing wanted to explain that the stand-in situation was a misunderstanding, but the system didn’t give her a chance. It seemed the system intended for Qin Cen to misunderstand completely, pushing her towards blackening.

It was late when they returned to the Liang residence. Liang Xue and Aunt Tao were asleep.

The first thing Liang Manqing did after opening the door was change all the combination locks in the house, feeling reassured only when Liang Jinshan couldn’t get in.

They had returned too quickly. Liang Manqing didn’t know if there was an empty guest room, and remembering that the guest room keys were with Aunt Tao, she decided to deal with it tomorrow.

Liang Manqing first put Qin Cen’s suitcase in her own room, then took a change of clothes: “Miss Qin, you’ll sleep in my room tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll have Aunt Tao arrange a new room for you. Oh, and my dad won’t be back, and no one else will come to the house, so don’t worry.”

Qin Cen didn’t say anything. Liang Manqing remembered something and added: “Be careful not to get your wound wet when you shower later.”

Liang Manqing went downstairs to the living room and lay on the sofa for a while. Thinking about Qin Cen’s cold expression the entire drive, she felt worried. It seemed Qin Cen had really misunderstood.

What should I do? Liang Manqing frustratedly rubbed her hair, hearing the system’s smug laughter: 【Host, resistance is useless. You can only follow the mission. Now, please complete the emotional and physical torment plotline and just wait to be killed. Everything is under my control.】

With that, the system disappeared.

Liang Manqing narrowed her eyes. She wouldn’t willingly be manipulated by the system. She would stop the system from completing its mission. Even without the blackening female supporting character’s interference, it wouldn’t be easy for the male and female leads to achieve a Happy Ending.

As she envisioned, perhaps preventing the male and female leads from achieving a Happy Ending could destroy the system.

Liang Manqing curved her lips, took her clothes, and prepared to take a shower, only to realize she had forgotten to take her underwear.

She went upstairs and knocked on Qin Cen’s door. There was a rustling sound inside before the door opened.

Qin Cen opened a slight crack in the door: “What is it?”

Liang Manqing said: “I forgot to grab my clothes. I need to go in and get them.”

Qin Cen looked down at the clothes in her hand. Liang Manqing quickly added: “My underwear.”

Qin Cen stepped back slightly and opened the door. She had just finished showering and was wearing a bathrobe. Her fair skin showed a pink hue, and water droplets from her hair trailed down her long, slender neck and disappeared into the neckline.

Qin Cen turned her back to dry her hair.

Liang Manqing retrieved her clothes. When she turned back, she saw a red stain spreading on Qin Cen’s white bathrobe.

“Miss Qin, did your back wound get wet?” Liang Manqing dropped her clothes and found the first-aid kit. She remembered the doctor telling her to change the gauze if it bled and that the wound shouldn’t get wet.

Qin Cen’s lips were pale: “No, it didn’t get wet.”

Liang Manqing opened the medicine the doctor had prescribed: “It’s bleeding. I’ll change the dressing for you.”
