After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 16
Jiang Xia’an had come back late last night and had only slept for a few hours, but as long as she could attend a meal at home, she would never be absent.
The female celebrity was becoming increasingly fond of coming home. She was unwilling to stay outside even a second longer than necessary.
After Gu Ruanruan joined the Jiang family dining table, the food at home had become too fragrant. She really could not bear to miss a single meal.
She scratched her head and came down the stairs, still bleary-eyed from sleep. On the way, she ran into Gu Ruanruan, who was gripping the railing and looking down. Jiang Xia’an stretched out her right arm and casually tucked Gu Ruanruan under it, bringing her downstairs together.
Jiang Xia’an had not often come home before and had not interacted much with this third sister. She had only heard that Gu Ruanruan’s reputation was not very good.
Only after interacting with her during this period did she discover that her little sister had a very good personality and suited her tastes extremely well. Their feelings naturally grew stronger.
“Little Sister, what are you doing here?” she asked with a yawn.
Seeing that she was so sleepy her eyes were narrowed, Gu Ruanruan asked, “Second Sister, aren’t you tired?”
Jiang Xia’an chuckled. “I’ll eat first, then go back to sleep.”
Sleep could be made up later. Food could not wait.
Seeing the two of them walk over arm in arm, Jiang Cen threw the cat treat in her hand to the little fat cat so it could lick it on its own, then warned, “Second, you’re a public figure. Don’t always make me remind you to mind your image.”
Gu Ruanruan had been very close with Jiang Second recently, but even sisters with a good relationship still had to pay attention to boundaries.
Not to mention, whether Gu Ruanruan’s recent change was sincere or not was still up for debate.
Whether they were biological sisters, adopted sisters, or anything else, a certain distance still had to be maintained.
Jiang Xia’an lazily took her hand off Gu Ruanruan’s arm and answered weakly, “Got it, Sister.”
What image did she need at home!
Breakfast had already been set on the table, and everyone took their seats one after another.
The little fat cat leapt onto the table with a “whoosh,” looking down at everyone from above.
“Mm, what a cute cat! Where did it come from?” Jiang Xia’an instantly seemed as if she had been injected with chicken blood, turning from black and white into full color. Her whole person came alive.
Gu Ruanruan hurriedly enthusiastically promoted the cat to Jiang Xia’an. “I picked it up at school last night. Second Sister, you also think it’s very cute, right!”
Jiang Xia’an nodded crazily!!!
She loved little cats the most!!!
The little fat cat sensed Jiang Xia’an’s strong affection and stretched out its head to rub against Jiang Xia’an’s palm.
Jiang Xia’an’s heart immediately melted.
So… so cute.
“Second Sister, she’s a stray cat. She’s so pitiful. Her leg was even injured. If we don’t take her in, once she recovers, we can only hand her over to someone else to raise. Sigh, who knows whether other people will treat her well… What if she gets abused?” Gu Ruanruan sighed sorrowfully.
Jiang Xia’an immediately made the decision. “Why give her to someone else! Isn’t it just one cat? I’ll raise her!”
Oh yeah! Meal ticket found! Gu Ruanruan cheered in her heart.
“Grandpa, look, Second Sister agrees too. Why don’t we just raise her~” Gu Ruanruan turned and attacked Old Master Jiang.
Old Master Jiang, who had just spoken harshly yesterday: “Emmm……”
The old man coughed twice and kicked the ball to Jiang Cen. “I’ll see what Eldest thinks.”
The little fat cat meowed twice and tilted its head as it looked at Jiang Cen.
Jiang Cen’s gaze paused on the cat for a moment, then she spoke lightly. “No.”
Gu Ruanruan immediately threw her previous heroic ambition of breaking off relations with Jiang Cen far beyond the ninth heaven.
She tugged at Jiang Cen’s sleeve and shook it, begging in a soft voice, “Sister, I know you’re the best. Just agree, okay? I’m begging you~”
Jiang Cen frowned. “Gu Ruanruan, let go.”
Gu Ruanruan hardened her heart and threw away even her dignity. “No. If you don’t agree today, from now on, I’ll… personally protect you every day!”
Jiang Cen suffocated.
She believed that when it came to such boring matters, Gu Ruanruan absolutely had the persistence to do what she said.
She paused for a moment. “It’s not completely impossible. There are conditions.”
The little girl’s black-grape-like eyes instantly lit up. “What conditions! I can do anything!”
“In the next monthly exam, get into the top twenty of the class, and your math must pass. Can you do it?”
Tutoring Gu Ruanruan was not difficult. The little girl was very smart and understood things with a little explanation. Passing would be completely fine.
“Yes, yes, yes! Definitely! Sister, you’re really too good, wuwawa!!!” Gu Ruanruan was moved.
Her grades in her previous life had not been bad to begin with. This kind of small matter was no problem at all.
Old Master Jiang also chimed in at the right time. “If Little Ruanruan gets into the top twenty of the class in the next monthly exam, Grandpa will take all of you out traveling!”
“Yay!!!” Gu Ruanruan was so happy she danced with joy and let go.
Jiang Cen was freed and straightened the sleeve Gu Ruanruan had tugged.
Jiang Xia’an asked faintly, “Little Sister, am I not good? Why don’t you say you’ll personally protect me?”
Gu Ruanruan’s brows relaxed, and she smiled. “Second Sister’s goodness is known by the whole world! Eldest Sister’s goodness is only known by us!”
Jiang Xia’an regained her balance and echoed, “That’s right!”
The little fat cat was hungry. It stared at the fried sausage on Jiang Cen’s plate and meowed.
It was very well-behaved. Although it was sitting on the dining table, it knew it could not touch the food on the plate without its owner’s permission.
Gu Ruanruan carried it off the dining table and poured cat food into its little porcelain bowl.
Old Master Jiang thought for a moment, then moved the cat bowl beside himself. “Come, from now on, you’ll eat beside Grandpa.”
Jiang Cen: “……”
“Let’s give it a name!” Gu Ruanruan suggested.
Jiang Xia’an was the first to raise her hand. “It has to be noble and show off our wealthy family’s style! Although she was picked up, once she enters our home, she’s the Jiang family’s cat. She must have presence!”
She scratched her head and thought for a moment. “How about Nicholas?”
Gu Ruanruan pondered. “Noble enough, but not rich enough. How about Fugui’er?”
Jiang Xia’an frowned. “It still feels like something is missing.”
“I’ve got it!” Gu Ruanruan had a flash of inspiration. “Combine them! Let’s call her Nicholas Fugui’er. It has both wealthy-family style and overwhelming prosperity!”
“Good name!!!!!!!!” Jiang Xia’an was excited.
This name was perfect!
She said happily, “The two of us are really too talented!”
Gu Ruanruan and Jiang Xia’an high-fived and cheered.
Jiang Cen: “……” She felt that the face of wealthy families had been utterly lost by these two people.
After deciding the name, Jiang Xia’an happily changed the name of the four-person family group Old Master Jiang had previously created, “A Loving Family,” to—
Nicholas Fugui’er Global Fan Support Association
Jiang Xia’an was still sighing. “Ah, how perfectly it suits our family’s temperament!”
Jiang Cen fell silent for a moment.
Group member -1
Your friend, “Eldest Sister,” has left the group chat.
After breakfast, the Jiang family driver sent Gu Ruanruan to Shengshuilan Academy.
Shen Wenlan and Song Jing had already arrived.
Gu Ruanruan soaked the suona reed, and the three officially began causing chaos.
Shen Wenlan had not yet heard Gu Ruanruan properly play the suona before, so she first made a request. “Let me hear how well you play the suona first.”
“Okay.” Gu Ruanruan attached the reed and confidently blew the first note.
“Pfft~ Wuwu~”
Song Jing immediately looked around vigilantly. “Who farted!”
Shen Wenlan: “…Don’t tell me this is your real level.”
Gu Ruanruan smiled embarrassedly. “N-no… It’s just that I haven’t practiced for too long, so I’m a little rusty.”
It had actually only been about a month since she transmigrated into this world, but it somehow felt as if a very long time had passed. Thinking back to the days before transmigrating gave her the feeling that they belonged to another lifetime.
“Can you give me the time of one more song?”
Shen Wenlan nodded.
Gu Ruanruan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began playing.
In her previous life, she had been the national first-place suona major at a top music academy. Her professional ability naturally needed no doubt. Before long, she entered the right state.
Song Jing recognized the tune and unconsciously began singing along. “What’s smiling in my mouth is yo-ho, yo-ho, yo~ What’s beautiful in my heart is lang-ge-li-ge-lang~ Little Sister doesn’t speak, she only looks at me and smiles, I know she’s waiting for my big! Flower! Sedan!”
Gu Ruanruan had met a kindred spirit. Her eyes shone as she looked at Song Jing.
Song Jing’s voice was high and bright, and with some professional technique added in, it matched Gu Ruanruan’s suona seamlessly.
The two of them needed no adjustment at all. They were just short of holding hands and calling each other family. One played, the other sang, and when they reached the climax, they even jumped together for a section.
Shen Wenlan: “……”
Once the song ended.
“Boss, you’re my idol! You understand me!” Song Jing was excited.
“Grandson, I understand you! You’re amazing!” Even in her excitement, Gu Ruanruan did not forget her seniority.
Song Jing: It feels like something is wrong somewhere.
“Why don’t we just do this!”
Shen Wenlan said honestly, “I don’t know how.”
She had heard Gu Ruanruan’s impressive suona technique. Although Song Jing’s singing skills were average, his emotion was abundant and had a strong infectious power.
It seemed that this ragtag troupe that had been forcibly cobbled together could still be saved.
Song Jing thought for a moment. “Forget it. It’s not passionate enough. Let’s still use our original plan!”
Shen Wenlan said, “I don’t know that one either, but I can figure it out by ear.”
As she spoke, she began searching for the sheet music.
In only about an hour, Shen Wenlan had already learned it.
Today, Gu Ruanruan cooked cheese ham kimchi noodles. As she put luncheon meat into it, she suddenly became worried. “Will opening with suona directly send the audience away? It won’t be easy to trick them, right?”
Song Jing raised his chopsticks, sharpening his blade eagerly. “Then let Top Student play piano first to trick them in for slaughter, and then we eat meat!”
As he spoke, he picked up a slice of luncheon meat and swallowed it in one bite.
Shen Wenlan: “…Your intentions are far too obvious.”
They were already openly talking about tricking people!
After the meal, the three practiced the program together several times. Since each person’s professionalism was pretty good, their coordination was very high, and there were basically no problems.
Afraid of being exposed, Song Jing pondered. “I feel like this is too easy to fool people with. It’s going too smoothly. Should we prepare a speech to fool our friends a little and show how difficult our creation process was?”
Gu Ruanruan: “Exactly what I was thinking.”
Shen Wenlan: “……”
The creation process was not difficult at all. But when those two scratched their ears and cheeks, trying to write some speech to fool people, that indeed looked quite difficult.
After rehearsal ended, Gu Ruanruan suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right. I have something very important tomorrow, so why don’t we not rehearse? Today’s practice was pretty good.”
Shen Wenlan: “I also have something.”
Song Jing copy-pasted, “Me too…”
Gu Ruanruan clenched her fist. “Good brothers, farewell.”
Old Master Jiang asked Jiang Cen to take Gu Ruanruan to a banquet.
Originally, the banquet had invited Old Master Jiang, but the old man had become obsessed with cultivating feelings with the newest family member—Nicholas Fugui’er—and was too lazy to move, so he assigned the task to Jiang Cen and Gu Ruanruan.
The original owner had been very enthusiastic about this kind of occasion, but Jiang Cen did not like bringing her out. This time, she had no choice but to bring her.
Old Master Jiang’s intention was to let Gu Ruanruan show her face more in front of everyone. Since the old man had given an order, Jiang Cen had no choice but to obey.
The banquet was in the evening, but in the afternoon, a stylist was invited to style Gu Ruanruan.
This time was different from before. It counted as a small formal appearance before Gu Ruanruan was officially announced as part of both families, so it naturally had to be somewhat grand.
Moreover, she had to coordinate with Jiang Cen.
In the end, they chose a rose-red evening dress for Gu Ruanruan. It would not steal the spotlight, nor was it overly solemn.
Gu Ruanruan’s body proportions were very good. Her waist was slender, her legs long, and her figure balanced between delicate and full. This evening dress showcased her strengths very well.
Her long hair was naturally pinned up. Paired with the gemstone earrings on her ears, it revealed Gu Ruanruan’s long, graceful neck. The well-tailored evening dress outlined her exquisite waistline. As she moved, her waist twisted with both softness and strength, so slender it seemed one hand could hold it.
On her fair and tender face, her sparkling peach-blossom eyes shimmered like rippling water, and her honey-peach-colored lips looked both sweet and soft.
When she smiled quietly without speaking, she looked even more elegant than the children of aristocratic families who had been nurtured for more than ten years.
Old Master Jiang lifted Nicholas Fugui’er’s two little paw pads to clap paws for Gu Ruanruan. “In the blink of an eye, Little Ruanruan has grown so big too. She’s almost an adult.”
The more one looked at one’s own family, the more pleasing they became. Old Master Jiang praised, “Look at this temperament, this appearance. Among the younger generation, our Little Ruanruan has still grown up the prettiest! No one can compare!”
“Don’t you think so, Eldest?” Old Master Jiang turned and asked Jiang Cen, who had just stepped one foot through the door.
