After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 7

The final exam results from the second semester of sophomore year were handed out.

Gu Ruanruan joyfully received second-to-last place in the entire class.

After the students of Senior Year Class Thirteen learned Gu Ruanruan’s real name, they still habitually called her Pinru.

As for last place, it was another familiar face—her newly accepted little lackey, Song Jing.

Having lost the match under everyone’s watchful eyes, Song Jing kept his word and smoothly changed the way he addressed Gu Ruanruan to “Boss.”

Song Jing glanced at Gu Ruanruan’s bright and colorful report card and perfunctorily flattered her. “Wow, Boss really is worthy of being Boss. You’re always one step above your little brother. High-level. Truly high-level.”

Gu Ruanruan chuckled. “You’re not bad either. Being last place is also a kind of courage. The value lies in persistence!”

Ever since entering school, this guy had held the title of last place for two consecutive years. His position was stable and unshakable. From a certain perspective, he was also quite persevering and determined.

Song Jing said modestly, “I can’t compare to Boss, can’t compare to Boss. At least my math score wasn’t at the very bottom.”

Gu Ruanruan glanced at Song Jing’s math test paper.

A bright red twenty-five points. Damn it. He had actually guessed five multiple-choice questions correctly!

She then looked at the precious asset the original owner had left her—the math test paper.

The enormous five points looked like an exclamation mark, fiercely stabbing her young heart and leaving Gu Ruanruan with an unforgettable shadow.

Gu Ruanruan looked at the gloating Song Jing and threatened, “Have you forgotten that you still owe me six calls of Grandpa?”

Song Jing: “……”

The moment when a slap hurt the most was not when it landed on your face. It was when you clearly knew someone was going to slap you, but you did not know when that slap would fall.

The long wait before a fixed outcome was the most agonizing and torturous part.

When Gu Ruanruan did not make him call her “Grandpa” on the spot yesterday, he had truly breathed a sigh of relief. Who would have thought she had been waiting for him here!

Song Jing hurriedly expressed his loyalty with full sincerity. “I’m sorry. I was too indulgent. Next time, I definitely won’t score higher than Boss!”

While the last-place and second-to-last-place students were still happily hurting each other over math scores, the math teacher unleashed her ultimate move.

The math teacher, wearing bottle-bottom glasses, stood on the platform and summarized the results of this exam with a heartbroken expression.

“Senior year! Students! We are already in senior year! And yet someone still scored twenty-five points in math! Oh, and there’s also someone who scored five points! I want to ask the students who got these scores, did you bring your brains to school?!”

“Our class is truly a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! I never imagined that both Wolong and Fengchu would actually come from our class. Both are my students!”

At this point, the math teacher made an expression as if she needed oxygen.

“I truly deeply suspect my own teaching ability now.”

The art teachers and academic-subject teachers at Shengshuilan, even if they were not the absolute best in the country, were still first-rate famous teachers.

After teaching for so many years, the math teacher had never encountered such a landslide in her life. It was simply her disgrace!

Wolong Song Jing and Fengchu Gu Ruanruan wished they could stuff their heads into their desks.

The original owner had really screwed her over!

“I’m so angry. This time, all of you are taking your test papers home! Have your parents personally sign them and write comments on the paper before turning them in to me! I’ll give you some time to run for your lives. I’ll collect them next week!”

Her sharp gaze swept across the room. “I will call each household one by one to verify it. If I discover any of you secretly doing little tricks, finding someone else to sign for you, or classmates signing for each other, hmph.”

Ginger really did get spicier with age. The math teacher merely snorted a repeated syllable through her nose, and the students already experienced a fear carved deep into their bones.

Gu Ruanruan wore the expression of someone dying on the spot.

If she dared to take this thing to Jiang Cen and Grandpa Jiang, the former would absolutely sweep this embarrassing thing out of the house, while the latter would be angered into going to the hospital for oxygen!

The happiness of this family would be gone!

At this very moment, only two words kept flashing through her heart—help me!!!

Jiang Cen had stayed at the company for the past two days and had not come home.

Today was the same. It was already past seven, but there was still no sign of her.

Gu Ruanruan went to Auntie Jiang to gather information.

Auntie Jiang’s impression of Gu Ruanruan had started to change from the day they made breakfast together. Seeing that Gu Ruanruan had recently become more and more concerned about Jiang Cen, she also wanted to help ease their relationship. She told Gu Ruanruan everything she knew.

As an old servant of the Jiang family, she knew quite a lot, and the person she felt most sorry for was Jiang Cen.

The Jiang family was indeed glorious now, but all of that had been shouldered by Jiang Cen alone.

She was like a tireless machine. When she worked, she seemed to have no regard for her life. Once she got busy, day and night would be reversed, and because she did not eat on time and seriously overworked her body, she even developed stomach problems.

Old Master Jiang still did not know that Jiang Cen had a serious stomach illness. Jiang Cen strictly forbade any news that would worry Old Master Jiang.

When Auntie Jiang was too distressed, she had gone to the company a few times to deliver food. Generally, when Jiang Cen worked until this hour, the takeout box would be thrown into a corner of her office desk and forgotten. The private kitchen dishes inside would have long since gone cold, and she would rely on coffee to get through the whole night.

Later, Jiang Cen stopped letting her deliver food.

As Gu Ruanruan chatted with Auntie Jiang, the two of them made some nourishing, stomach-warming dishes together and packed them into insulated food containers.

She sent Jiang Cen a message on WeChat: [Reporting, Officer! Your dearest younger sister is riding her little electric motor toward headquarters! Estimated arrival in twenty minutes. Please receive her, Officer!]

Behind it, she also attached a picture of a little cat rolling around.

Twenty minutes passed, but Jiang Cen still did not reply.

The driver brought Gu Ruanruan to the entrance of the group headquarters.

As expected of one of Ningcheng’s great families, Jiang Corporation’s tall office building seemed to stretch endlessly upward at a glance. The large characters of the company’s name hung on the highest floor, flashing with golden light in the night, flashy and imposing.

It was nighttime now, and even the front desk staff had left.

Gu Ruanruan thought Jiang Cen had not seen her WeChat message, so she planned to call her.

“Ding.”

The not-too-loud sound of the elevator caught her attention.

A woman walked out of the elevator. Like Jiang Cen, she loved wearing a stern expression. She was dressed in a proper professional suit and said in a businesslike manner, “Little Miss, President Jiang asked me to bring you up.”

“Oh, okay. Thank you.” So Jiang Cen had seen it. She was just too lazy to reply.

Gu Ruanruan’s mood improved greatly. Jiang Cen had not deliberately ignored her. A good beginning! She was one step closer to preserving her little life!

Through her unremitting efforts, the villain now more or less… had a bit of sisterly affection, right?

“You’re my sister’s secretary, right? What should I call you?” She quickened her pace and caught up with the woman in front.

The woman said calmly, “My surname is Zhou. Little Miss may call me Xiao Zhou or Secretary Zhou.”

The two entered the elevator.

“What floor is my sister’s office on?”

Secretary Zhou glanced at her. “The twenty-sixth floor. Little Miss, let me carry that.”

Seeing that Gu Ruanruan seemed to have trouble holding it steadily, she helped take the insulated food container from her.

Gu Ruanruan probed, “Secretary Zhou, you’ve been by my sister’s side for a long time, right?”

“Five years.”

Oh! That long!

Gu Ruanruan asked mysteriously, “Then has there been anyone pursuing my sister, or anyone she likes?”

She had read the novel so long ago that she had forgotten most of it. At this point in time, had the great villain and the female lead met yet?

Secretary Zhou’s gaze became somewhat meaningful. “No.”

“Then… has my sister acted especially different toward anyone?” Gu Ruanruan continued digging for gossip, attempting to find traces of the villain’s entanglement with the female lead.

Secretary Zhou looked her up and down, revealing a mysterious smile. “Yes.”

“Who is it!!!” Every hair on Gu Ruanruan’s body stood up in excitement!

Here it comes, here it comes!!! Ahhh, has the female lead appeared?

“You, Little Miss,” Secretary Zhou said lightly.

Gu Ruanruan: “……”

That was indeed quite special. Especially hateful toward her, especially disgusted with her. She knew.

Gu Ruanruan waved her hand and casually exposed her own shortcomings. “Not that kind of special where she hates someone through gritted teeth.”

Secretary Zhou looked at her with some surprise.

Gu Ruanruan described it to her. “Aiya… I mean, do you think my sister likes pure little white flowers more, or gorgeous women with big wavy hair?”

This was such a roundabout way to inquire about her taste. If the female lead had appeared, the answer would definitely be a pure little white flower.

“Ding.” The elevator arrived on the twenty-sixth floor.

Secretary Zhou handed the insulated food container back to her. “Little Miss, for this sort of personal preference, you should ask President Jiang directly.”

Gu Ruanruan sighed inwardly. No wonder Secretary Zhou could stay by Jiang Cen’s side for so long. Her mouth was not ordinarily tight. Gu Ruanruan had asked in a big circle, but Secretary Zhou had not revealed any information at all.

The entire twenty-sixth floor was Jiang Cen’s personal space, and it occupied a very large area.

Secretary Zhou led her all the way through. The reception room, tea room, living area, and everything else were fully equipped.

The office was located between the reception room and living area. Its two frosted-glass doors were sliding doors. Secretary Zhou raised her hand and knocked lightly.

“Come in.” Jiang Cen’s noble, indifferent voice came from inside.

Secretary Zhou pushed the door open for Gu Ruanruan. Watching the little girl go in, she silently closed the door and left.

The entire office was decorated in a low-key, simple, and elegant style, mainly using black and white tones. The large floor-to-ceiling windows gave a broad view. Apart from the bookcases, office desk, and other necessary items that looked very high-quality, there were no flashy, useless decorations.

Jiang Cen raised her head from the documents. Her voice was not very friendly. “What are you here for?”

Gu Ruanruan pouted. “I haven’t seen my dear sister for several days, so I came to see you.”

Jiang Cen stopped working and leaned back against the chair, her long legs crossing leisurely.

She held her coffee cup and took a sip, lowering her eyelashes. “To see the heartless black-hearted capitalist exploiting the laboring people?”

Gu Ruanruan had long since forgotten the slogans she had shouted while leading Red Hair, Green Hair, and Purple Hair in a fit of excitement. Hearing this, she immediately shouted back like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

“What are you saying! Sister is the kindest and most beautiful philanthropist under heaven! Whoever refuses to accept that, I’ll beat them up!”

Mm. Looking from outside, many of the windows were dark, with only a few lit up. From this, it could be seen that all the employees who should get off work had already gotten off work. Instead, the president of such a huge company was the one working overtime the hardest.

She did not mistreat employees and was strict with herself. From the looks of it, the villain was still very conscientious!

Heh. Little liar.

Jiang Cen sneered coldly in her heart.

“Sister, I made something delicious. Come eat!”

Gu Ruanruan had not forgotten the purpose of her visit today.

Jiang Cen refused. “I’m not eating. Go back. You’re also not allowed to come here again.”

Jiang Cen had specially sent someone down to pick her up today. Gu Ruanruan knew that her attitude had softened, so she pushed her luck. “If you don’t eat today, I won’t leave.”

“Suit yourself.” Jiang Cen remained unmoved.

Gu Ruanruan used her killer move. “Not only will I not leave, from now on, I’ll chase after you every day to feed you.”

Jiang Cen suffocated.

She warned, “Gu Ruanruan, don’t push your luck.”

Gu Ruanruan was the kind of person who would shine brightly with just a little sunlight and climb up rapidly if given a pole.

She rejected Jiang Cen’s rejection. The office desk piled high with documents was tidied up by Gu Ruanruan in a few moves. Then she opened the insulated containers, arranging the small bowls by category on Jiang Cen’s desk.

Jiang Cen: “Did you not hear what I said?”

“One bite won’t poison you to death. If I really wanted to poison you, our whole family would have been wiped out long ago,” Gu Ruanruan comforted her.

The rich aroma of food drifted to Jiang Cen’s nose. She lowered her head and glanced at it. “Then what good trick have you thought of this time?”

Gu Ruanruan looked left and right, then lowered her voice. “Eldest Sister, I’ll tell you a little secret about Second Sister!”

Jiang Cen raised her brows.

“Second Sister seems to be dating!”

“What!!!” Jiang Cen immediately could not sit still.

Gu Ruanruan seized the chance, picked up a piece of pork rib with serving chopsticks, and stuffed it into Jiang Cen’s half-open red lips.

“Second Sister is dating a male celebrity in a TV drama. I watched Second Sister’s newly aired drama.” Having achieved her purpose, Gu Ruanruan finished the second half of her sentence.

Jiang Cen: “……”

This scene was truly filled with absurdity.

Somehow, this venomous, vicious adopted younger sister had turned into this. She was always doing ridiculous, absurd things in an attempt to get close to Jiang Cen, yet she had absolutely no malice.

Her speech was also all over the place, making it hard to distinguish truth from lies, but the expression on her face was very sincere.

Jiang Cen’s expression darkened.

Gu Ruanruan did not notice at all and smiled sweetly. “Eldest Sister, you’ll only have the strength to print money after you’re full.”

She raised another piece of pumpkin and held it to Jiang Cen’s lips.

Unable to win against her, Jiang Cen picked up her chopsticks and frowned. “I’ll eat by myself.”

Gu Ruanruan was very happy. She withdrew her chopsticks, turned her wrist, and ate that piece of pumpkin with an “awu.”

“Sister, don’t wear such a bitter, deep-hatred expression. Look, now I’ve eaten too. If it really is poisoned, the two of us will die together!”

Jiang Cen: “……”
