After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 3
With a “clack,” the sunglasses loosely perched on Jiang Xia’an’s nose fell to the floor. Like a dying fish making one last struggle, they bounced twice on the ground before falling completely silent.
Jiang Xia’an herself also completed the fading process from a colorful oil painting to minimalist black-and-white.
Everything felt as if yesterday had repeated itself.
Jiang Xia’an’s dumbfounded expression lasted for a full minute before she seemed to realize something and quickly recovered her composure.
The shock of “entering the palace a second time” was no smaller than the first.
But! No matter what, she was a woman who had seen great storms and waves. She could not show such an inexperienced expression!
Although she was still very shocked, that unreal, floating feeling was not as strong anymore.
Thinking back, the last time she had suffered such an impact was the last time—and it could only have been the last time!
Film Empress Jiang pushed the door open and walked in. Having adjusted her mental state, she changed from the black-and-white tone she had been in when she pushed the door open back into full color.
She even narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and sighed, “Perhaps I should have been under the car, not inside it.”
Old Master Jiang glared angrily. “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry and help your sister up!”
Gu Ruanruan had both hands braced on the floor as she looked down at Jiang Cen from above. Between the upper halves of their bodies was the camera in Jiang Cen’s hand.
In terms of position, Gu Ruanruan occupied the favorable terrain. But in terms of presence, Jiang Cen was undoubtedly the stronger one.
Gu Ruanruan did not doubt at all that, at this very moment, Jiang Cen was already planning how to secretly shark her without leaving a trace.
So when Jiang Xia’an reached out a hand, Gu Ruanruan nearly teared up.
If she had stayed there one second longer, she would have frozen to death under Jiang Cen’s gaze!!!
Gu Ruanruan got up far too quickly, anxiety written all over her face, to the point that she ignored the biggest problem—her gown did not allow her to make large movements.
Her upper body rose, but her lower body could not keep up. Gu Ruanruan was firmly trapped by her uncoordinated limbs and complicated skirt.
What should have been a simple action of standing up became incomparably difficult in her hands. In the end, because she had risen too forcefully and tripped over her skirt, she twisted her body and fell heavily back onto Jiang Cen!
At that exact moment, Jiang Cen had moved away the camera blocking the space between them.
A very faint muffled groan escaped from Jiang Cen’s lips.
Gu Ruanruan was smashed dizzy. She did not know where her chin had knocked against Jiang Cen, but it was hard.
Gu Ruanruan was shocked. “Sis… Sister… A-are you all right!”
Right now, there were only two words in her heart: she was done.
A million African wild boars charged wildly through her fragile little heart. Every single wild boar stomped heavily on her heart while howling, “You’re finished, you’re finished, you’re finished.”
Gu Ruanruan was in so much heartache that she could barely breathe.
Why was she so miserable! Could it be that this short life of hers was going to end before it had even begun!
Jiang Cen contributed the first eye roll of her life and said speechlessly, “I haven’t stopped breathing yet.”
Gu Ruanruan’s grief-stricken expression was so obvious that even Jiang Xia’an could not help feeling sorry for her for a moment.
Jiang Cen reminded her, “If you don’t get up, I can’t guarantee that will remain true.”
!!!
Only then did Gu Ruanruan realize that she was still pressing down on Jiang Cen.
When Jiang Xia’an reached out again to pull her up, Gu Ruanruan refused her ineffective help.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, stretched out both arms to cover her head, and directly rolled to the side, rolling off Jiang Cen.
Gu Ruanruan thought she was making a cool, graceful exit. Who would have thought that because she used too much force, she actually rolled several times on the floor before barely stopping?
And the reason she stopped was… because she hit the leg of the sofa.
All she could say was thank goodness she had protected her head…
While she was experiencing a dangerous moment on this side, some people were not so “kind.”
“Pfft, you look like a runaway goose floundering around in an iron pot.” Jiang Xia’an had a very low laughing threshold, and she was also very happy to share her new sources of amusement with others.
Because Jiang Xia’an’s description was too vivid, Old Master Jiang also failed to stop himself from imagining that scene. Holding back his laughter, he scolded Jiang Xia’an, “Hurry and help your sister!”
With the experience from just now, Jiang Xia’an also understood what a troublesome skirt this was. Carefully, she “pulled” Gu Ruanruan up from the floor.
As soon as Gu Ruanruan stood up, she did not even have time to pat the dust off her clothes before hurriedly looking at Jiang Cen.
At this moment, Jiang Cen had long since tidied herself up, returning to her spotless appearance. She wore her unchanging cold expression, as if everything that had just happened had never happened at all.
Gu Ruanruan had discovered that Jiang Cen possessed a magical ability. No matter how annoying or awkward the situation was, she could act as if the clouds were light, the wind was gentle, and none of it had anything to do with her.
“Ah!!! My dear sister~ How are you? Are~ you~ in~ so~ much~ pain~? Your little sister will take you to the hospital!!!” Gu Ruanruan placed her hands on Jiang Cen’s shoulders and shook the person in front of her forcefully. Her tone rose and fell dramatically, stretching one short sentence into an aria.
Having already prepared herself, Jiang Cen coldly and skillfully removed Gu Ruanruan’s demonic claws. While she was at it, she also took off her own coat, her disgust practically overflowing.
Seeing how nervous Gu Ruanruan looked, Jiang Xia’an’s eyes curved slightly. She immediately teased in an exaggerated tone, “That’s right! Little Sister, hurry and take Eldest Sister to the hospital. Any later and Eldest Sister will be fully healed!”
Jiang Cen swept a faint glance over Gu Ruanruan, whose face was full of sincerity and shimmering tears, and Jiang Xia’an, who was enjoying the show without minding how big the matter became. She gave a cold sneer. “I’m fine. The two of you, on the other hand, need to go to the hospital and treat your brains. Any later and I won’t be able to manage it. The Jiang family doesn’t raise idiots.”
Gu Ruanruan: “……”
Jiang Xia’an: “……”
Double kill!
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang immediately became unhappy.
“Eldest, what are you saying! You’re not allowed to talk about your sisters like that! Even if Little Ruanruan were an idiot, this old man could still afford to raise her!”
“Grandpa, wuwuwuwu, you’re so good to me!!!” Gu Ruanruan shed tears on the spot, opened her arms in the posture of a great roc spreading its wings, and was about to pounce on Old Master Jiang.
The great roc’s enterprise collapsed halfway through its founding…
Jiang Cen stretched out one finger and pressed it against Gu Ruanruan’s forehead, fixing her in place. She let Gu Ruanruan’s two arms flail outside and said coldly, “Gu Ruanruan, I don’t have a hobby of raising idiots.”
Gu Ruanruan pursed her lips a little aggrievedly.
Seeing her like a chick being scolded by mother hen, Old Master Jiang lovingly comforted her with his eyes.
Jiang Xia’an was unwilling to be lonely. She asked faintly, “Grandpa… what about me??? If I become an idiot, will you not raise me?”
Jiang Cen swept a faint glance at Jiang Xia’an.
“Second, you don’t… Don’t join in and make trouble!” Old Master Jiang began to shift his gaze.
Jiang Xia’an guessed that what her grandfather wanted to say was: Second, you don’t deserve it.
Her heart hurt fiercely.
As an actress—parentheses, an award-winning actress!—she understood subtext!
“Grandpa, you’re so biased. Am I not your little baby anymore?”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Old Master Jiang used fake coughing to cover his guilty conscience, pretending not to hear Jiang Xia’an’s accusation. Then he concluded, “Seeing you three sisters have such a good relationship satisfies this old man. When people get old, they don’t have many wishes left. I only hope our family can be harmonious and happy.”
The more Old Master Jiang spoke, the more satisfied he became. He carefully looked over his three granddaughters.
The third was the youngest, and she had only come to the Jiang family after experiencing tragedy. He had always worried that the third child would not feel a sense of belonging to this family and would not get along with the slightly older first and second daughters. So he had given most of his doting to Gu Ruanruan.
At the same time, Old Master Jiang was also afraid that the eldest and second daughters would feel upset because of this. But seeing them today, there was no need to worry about that problem at all. The three sisters got along harmoniously, without any estrangement.
He was truly relieved.
The thick smile at the corner of Old Master Jiang’s mouth could not be hidden at all. He held Jiang Cen with his left hand and Gu Ruanruan with his right, smiling as he said, “Second, go bring the camera over and take a family photo for us.”
Jiang Xia’an: ??? I don’t deserve it again???
When Gu Ruanruan returned to her room that night and changed clothes, the gentle, comfortable homewear rescued her exhausted body, which had been tortured and devastated by the gown.
Jiang Cen had eaten dinner at home with them today, and just now, Gu Ruanruan had not heard the sound of a car engine starting. She guessed that Jiang Cen was probably staying at home today.
She asked a servant, and sure enough, Jiang Cen had not left. She was in her bedroom on the third floor.
The old Jiang residence had six floors in total. The old man lived on the first floor, Gu Ruanruan lived on the second, and Jiang Cen and Jiang Xia’an lived on the third.
At this time, Jiang Cen had just finished taking a shower when the door was suddenly knocked twice. She thought it was Jiang Xia’an, who had returned after leaving and had become polite enough to learn how to knock, so she indifferently answered, “Come in.”
A fluffy head poked in like a thief. It was actually Gu Ruanruan.
Jiang Cen’s eyes turned cold.
Gu Ruanruan hesitantly slipped into Jiang Cen’s room. She did not dare look around and only gazed at Jiang Cen pitifully, wearing an utterly miserable expression.
“Sister… I’m really sorry about today. I was too reckless!” Gu Ruanruan repented like a scumbag man.
Jiang Cen sneered. “Good that you know.”
At this moment, she was wearing a bathrobe. Her fair, slender legs were crossed, revealing her snow-white, elegant neck. Gu Ruanruan saw the red mark on her collarbone.
So the hard feeling from earlier had been from hitting Jiang Cen’s collarbone.
The moment Gu Ruanruan thought of her future ending, sorrow welled up from within. With a devout expression, she held the medicine from her pocket in both hands and offered it to Jiang Cen, solemnly saying, “Please accept my repentance!”
Jiang Cen glanced at the bluish-purple bruise on Gu Ruanruan’s chin and gave a light scoff. “Keep the medicine for yourself.”
Clearly, Gu Ruanruan had not suffered much of an injury, but the mark on her cold, fair skin looked quite frightening.
Jiang Cen not applying medicine = Jiang Cen refusing to accept her apology = Jiang Cen holding a grudge = Jiang Cen never forgiving her = Jiang Cen still locking her up in a psychiatric hospital = guaranteed death ending!
Gu Ruanruan was grief-stricken. She had to smooth Jiang Cen’s fur!!!
Why was the villain so difficult to deal with!
Woman! Don’t force me to kneel down and beg you!
Wuwuwuwu…
Thinking this, Gu Ruanruan actually asked it too.
Her eyes were filled with a pool of tears as she asked with true emotion, “Do I have to kneel down and beg before you’ll be willing to apply the medicine and forgive me??”
The little girl’s moist, clear almond eyes filled with tears in an instant, innocent and pitiful. Anyone who saw her would suspect whether they had mistreated her.
Jiang Cen did not know where Gu Ruanruan got so many tears from, nor did she understand what necessary cause-and-effect relationship there was between applying medicine and forgiving Gu Ruanruan.
She did not want to keep seeing Gu Ruanruan use that pure and innocent face to do hypocritical and vicious things.
She took the medicine Gu Ruanruan had handed over. Then she stretched out a finger and tapped warningly on Gu Ruanruan’s collar, looking down at Gu Ruanruan from above.
Jiang Cen’s gaze was gloomy, her tone cold and chilling. “Do what you’re supposed to do. If you stay obediently in the Jiang family, I won’t touch you. But if you dare have any other ideas…” She said meaningfully, “I’ll make sure you can never go home again.”
“And one more thing. Stay away from me.”
Jiang Cen knew clearly that Gu Ruanruan was different from before. But whether this was another layer of Gu Ruanruan’s disguise or whether there was another reason, she would definitely find out.
Gu Ruanruan nodded like she was pounding garlic. “Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm!”
She was terrified and nervous. She had heard Jiang Cen’s words, and she understood Jiang Cen’s implied meaning, but she still could not stop her wild-boar-like heart from crashing around!
The pleasant scent of shower gel drifted near the tip of her nose. The ends of Jiang Cen’s hair lightly brushed against her shoulder. Gu Ruanruan felt the temperature of her cheeks rapidly rise.
Too… too close!
Even Jiang Cen’s icy coldness could not stop the hot stream surging through Gu Ruanruan’s nose. She… she had never been this close to a woman before!!!
Wh-what should she do!!!
N-no, she could not take this sudden blessing. Gu Ruanruan suddenly took a small step back, while also stretching out her hand and gently pushing Jiang Cen.
“Sister, I…”
!!!
The world spun, and Gu Ruanruan could no longer say the rest of her sentence.
Who could have thought that with just that one push, Jiang Cen would actually fall straight backward!!!
She really had pushed lightly!!!
Ah, maybe not necessarily… It seemed it had not been that light…
The moment Jiang Cen fell, she subconsciously grabbed the thing nearest to her hand.
And so, Gu Ruanruan was grabbed by the collar by Jiang Cen and fell together with her onto Jiang Cen’s extra-large, soft big bed!
Perhaps because she had gained experience, Gu Ruanruan had a flash of inspiration the instant she fell. She directly used her elbow to support herself on the bed and did not smash onto Jiang Cen.
This… this counted as three sheep bringing prosperity.
“By the way, Sister, about that movie of mine…” Jiang Xia’an’s voice sounded from outside the door.
“Oh my goodness…” After two rounds of blows, Jiang Xia’an, entering the palace for the third time, seemed to have made ample mental preparations.
She skillfully withdrew and looked at the room door. After confirming that it was Jiang Cen’s room, she walked back in with steady steps.
As her final step landed, the restless little flame in Gu Ruanruan’s nose also dripped onto Jiang Cen’s clothes.
Jiang Xia’an: dumbfounded doge.jpg
Gu Ruanruan no longer dared to look at Jiang Cen’s face.

She really wanted to ask Jiang Cen: Sister, looking at me… do I still have a chance?
After a long while, Film Empress Jiang pushed her exaggeratedly dropped jaw back into place and maturely sighed.
Growth began with keeping countless secrets.
She knew. She knew too much.
Jiang Xia’an deeply gazed at Gu Ruanruan and Jiang Cen. Then, as if deep in thought, she sighed to Gu Ruanruan, “Little Sister, the way you play… is really perverted…”
Gu Ruanruan: “……”
