After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 4
The next day.
Gu Ruanruan deliberately got up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
Of course, the main reason was still to make up for the great villain’s delicate, pure, maiden heart that she had traumatized.
Gu Ruanruan decided that from now on, she would be Jiang Cen’s little padded jacket!
She would protect Jiang Cen’s dignity!
As the saying went, if you wanted to please someone, you had to first conquer her stomach!
The ingredients used for meals in the Jiang family kitchen every day were delivered in the middle of the night. They were managed by someone specifically, and the ingredients were plentiful and fresh.
When Auntie Jiang, who was responsible for cooking at home, came to the kitchen, Gu Ruanruan was already bustling around inside.
“Auntie Jiang, I’ll make breakfast today,” Gu Ruanruan said.
“Ay.” Auntie Jiang nodded and helped her from the side.
At first, Auntie Jiang was still a little worried and circled around Gu Ruanruan, but after seeing Gu Ruanruan skillfully handle the ingredients, she gradually felt relieved.
With another helper, the speed increased quite a bit.
Before long, the soup simmering in the clay pot began to bubble, and the entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.
When Jiang Cen came downstairs, what she saw was Gu Ruanruan smiling as she chatted with Auntie Jiang.
Seeing her arrive, Auntie Jiang hurriedly helped Gu Ruanruan take credit. “Eldest Miss, Little Miss specially prepared all of these for you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Cen raised her brows and glanced at Gu Ruanruan.
It had only been a few days, yet she had already won over Auntie Jiang, who had worked in the Jiang family for more than twenty years.
Gu Ruanruan turned her head and saw Jiang Cen wearing a purple home outfit. She was not wearing glasses, revealing those beautiful yet sharp phoenix eyes.
The restrained and noble purple looked elegant and grand on Jiang Cen, making her skin seem almost as white and translucent as jade.
Although she still had that stinky expression as if someone owed her a billion yuan, it did not damage her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it added a somewhat abstinent air to her. Gu Ruanruan sighed in admiration. She was afraid that no one else would ever be able to wear such a picky color so beautifully again.
“Gu Ruanruan!” Jiang Cen spoke sternly.
Gu Ruanruan subconsciously snapped into a standard military posture with a “pa.” The half-peeled boiled egg in her hand slipped free and rolled twice across the countertop.
“……”
Gu Ruanruan hurriedly took out a rolling pin and herded the round, white, chubby egg back into the bowl like she was driving away a goose.
The egg rolled hurriedly back into the bowl, somehow giving off the feeling of fleeing in panic.
Jiang Cen: “……”
Expressionless, she asked, “When did you learn how to cook?”
Gu Ruanruan curved both arms over her head and made a big heart for Jiang Cen. “In order to give my dear sister the most perfect taste experience, I lit a lamp and fought hard through countless late nights. I’ve already practiced it silently in my heart hundreds and thousands of times!”
Jiang Cen sneered. “Then you really are extraordinarily gifted.”
Gu Ruanruan rather bashfully raised her pinky, pinching her thumb and index finger together and aiming them at Jiang Cen as she said shyly, “Only one percent of it is my talent and hard work. The remaining ninety-nine percent comes from Sister’s personal teaching. It’s all Sister’s credit.”
Jiang Cen looked at that round egg and scoffed softly. “I personally taught you how to poison someone?”
Gu Ruanruan defended herself. “……That was an accident. The food I make for Sister will only be filled with all of my love!”
At some point, Jiang Xia’an had snuck into the kitchen. She lifted her nose, nimble as a puppy’s, and sniffed all around. Then she let out a sigh from the depths of her soul. “It smells so good!”
After a pause, she asked doubtfully, “What love or not love? Are you two having a private meeting in the kitchen this early in the morning? Tell me! Who loves who!!!”
She smelled gossip!
From that long string of words, she had only extracted one word: “love.”
Jiang Cen would absolutely not let Gu Ruanruan and Jiang Xia’an talk nonsense alone. With these two people’s IQs, there was no telling what absurd, intelligence-lowering conclusion they would reach after a while.
It was not certain who would drag who into a ditch.
With one right hand, she hooked Jiang Xia’an by the back of her collar and dragged her out of the kitchen.
Jiang Xia’an shouted in dissatisfaction, “Wah, Eldest Sister! You and Little Sister really do have a little secret! You’re feeling guilty!”
“Shut up!” Jiang Cen casually stuffed an apple into her mouth.
Food to Jiang Xia’an was like catnip to a cat. With something tasty to block her mouth, the female celebrity quieted down in minutes.
The world became peaceful.
Before long, all the breakfast Gu Ruanruan prepared was finished.
Auntie Jiang helped Gu Ruanruan place the dishes on the table one by one.
“Why is breakfast so plentiful today?” Old Master Jiang was a little surprised.
“Little Miss specially prepared it for you, Old Master. Please have a taste.” Auntie Jiang eagerly placed the fragrant old-duck vermicelli soup in front of Old Master Jiang.
A crack appeared on Jiang Cen’s calm face.
She seemed to have heard these words just now too.
Old Master Jiang happily ate half a small bowl before putting it down and praising, “Not bad! The soup is fresh and delicious! Very good! I didn’t expect our Little Ruanruan to have this skill!”
With a few slurps, Old Master Jiang drank the remaining old-duck soup in his bowl clean.
Gu Ruanruan smiled and ladled another bowl for Old Master Jiang. “Grandpa, if you like it, I’ll make it for you often.”
Although Old Master Jiang had spoiled the original owner excessively, this affection was something Gu Ruanruan had once deeply longed for.
Now that she had unexpectedly gained such a precious bond through a strange twist of fate, she wanted to cherish it properly.
In front of Jiang Cen were several kinds of delicious food.
Soup-filled xiaolongbao, preserved egg and lean pork congee, steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce, and pumpkin soup.
At the edge of the plate of chicken feet in black bean sauce was also a small figure carved from carrot, vivid and lifelike.
The little figure’s legs were bent and hanging over the edge of the plate, forming a kneeling posture. It tilted its head up and blinked a pair of little black-bean eyes as it “looked” at Jiang Cen. It looked… somewhat pitiful.
Like a bootlicker, Gu Ruanruan handed Jiang Cen a pair of chopsticks. “Sister! Completely harmless and pollution-free! You can eat it with confidence!”
Jiang Xia’an was so envious that her drool was about to drip out.
She knocked on her own plate and protested, “Little Sister, why do I have so little? Why doesn’t my plate have a little figure?”
Then, Film Empress Jiang made her request. “I want a pretty plating too!”
Gu Ruanruan fell silent for a moment, took Jiang Xia’an’s plate over, divided the bread and sausage inside into two plates, cut them into slices, and arranged them into two words: Knock. Door.
Jiang Xia’an: “……”
She pretended not to see the two words Gu Ruanruan had made and pointed at the large pile of food in front of Jiang Cen, complaining gloomily, “She has several plates!”
Old Master Jiang’s food was the enviable and delicious old-duck vermicelli soup, but there was only one pot, and Old Master Jiang obviously would not give it to her. Jiang Xia’an would not compare herself with Old Master Jiang.
If she could not win in quality, at least in quantity, bread plus sausage meant she had two items. She won!
But they were all Jiang family members, so why was there such a big difference between her food and Jiang Cen’s!
Gu Ruanruan took out blueberry jam and strawberry jam, then separated out two more plates and used the jam to write the two words: Thank you.
“All right, now you also have four plates, Second Sister.” Gu Ruanruan smiled like the Mona Lisa.
Jiang Xia’an let out little cat-like whining sounds from her throat, pursing her lips and looking at Gu Ruanruan pitifully.
The female celebrity was depressed!!!
Gu Ruanruan continued smiling and pushed the egg from earlier in front of Jiang Xia’an. “Second Sister, eat an egg.”
Jiang Xia’an counted. She now had one more bowl than Jiang Cen. In terms of quantity, she had won!
Her expression immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.
“Little Sister is so good!” Having successfully begged for food, the female celebrity became happy and sent Gu Ruanruan an expensive flying kiss.
The corner of Jiang Cen’s mouth twitched suspiciously, but she chose to remain silent and did not say a word.
She personally watched that egg safely enter the mouth of her biological younger sister, who did not like knocking and liked talking nonsense.
After breakfast ended, Great Film Empress Jiang’s nanny van arrived. She was going to record a variety show. Jiang Cen was going to work. As for Gu Ruanruan… she had to go to school.
Jiang Cen’s company and Gu Ruanruan’s school were not on the same route. If Jiang Cen sent Gu Ruanruan, it would delay her work. She refused, so Old Master Jiang assigned the family driver to Gu Ruanruan and let Jiang Cen drive herself to work.
Before going to school, Gu Ruanruan suddenly thought of something. She thumped her way to the kitchen and brought out an exquisitely packaged little box, then waited with the driver outside the villa gate.
Jiang Cen’s car drove out of the garage. It was a dazzling gilded color, with a streamlined body. One glance was enough to tell that it was an expensive luxury car.
Gu Ruanruan blocked the gate and waved at Jiang Cen.
“Sister!”
Jiang Cen had no choice but to stop. With a cold face, she rolled down the car window and looked at Gu Ruanruan, who was smiling like a little fox. Impatiently, she asked, “What?”
Gu Ruanruan expressed her feelings toward Jiang Cen with deep sincerity. “I’m going to school, so I can’t stay by Sister’s side at all times. That truly is my regret.”
Jiang Cen tugged at the corner of her lips and let out a soft heh. “Then I really must thank you for letting me live two more years.”
“Sister, this is for you.” She offered the box in her hand like a treasure, placing it on Jiang Cen’s steering wheel.
Jiang Cen frowned. “What is it?”
Gu Ruanruan grinned. “Something good!”
Jiang Cen was cold. “Something good that can take my life?”
“Sister is the most important person in my heart! Right now, you definitely don’t believe my sincerity. I’ll use practical actions to show you!” Gu Ruanruan clenched her fist and vowed solemnly.
Jiang Cen’s face was full of disbelief, but in the end, she did not throw Gu Ruanruan’s item away. Instead, she casually tossed it onto the passenger seat.
She turned her head and saw that Gu Ruanruan still had not left. “Anything else?”
Gu Ruanruan wiped away the nonexistent tears on her face and stretched out one arm, acting reluctant to part. “Sister, I~ will~ miss~ you~”
Jiang Cen immediately lost even the appetite to eat lunch. Swiftly and decisively, she raised the car window, shutting Gu Ruanruan’s aria outside.
Then she started the car and sprayed Gu Ruanruan’s face with exhaust fumes.
Gu Ruanruan attended a rather famous aristocratic school in Ningcheng—Shengshuilan Noble Academy.
Shengshuilan Academy was divided into elementary school, middle school, and high school departments. It was a typical one-stop academy focused mainly on arts education. Because of its extremely high salaries, the teachers who taught art courses here were also internationally renowned.
Although it did not have a directly affiliated university, Shengshuilan’s students were either rich or noble, and they also had top-tier famous teachers. More than half of the graduates would enter Ningcheng Arts Academy or study abroad.
In order to prevent the students from being top-heavy and neglecting academics, Shengshuilan was also very strict with cultural subjects. Classes were divided according to the students’ academic grades.
Needless to say, the class Gu Ruanruan was in was the legendary class specially used by rich kids to “commit mischief” and stir up trouble—Senior Year Class Thirteen.
The moment Gu Ruanruan walked into the classroom, she was baptized by the gazes of the entire class.
