I Ran Away After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Daughter-in-Law - Chapter 19
Because she had no idea she would run into Jian Yue here, Jiang Pan froze on the spot. For a moment, she lost the ability to think and was only left with a basic sense of panic.
If she hadn’t transmigrated into a scumbag who had wronged Jian Yue, Jiang Pan would have truly sighed, “Such a dramatic encounter is the stuff of legends for protagonists.”
Seeing Jian Yue’s impossibly high beauty, Jiang Pan couldn’t help but think that even if she had transmigrated into a dog, it would still be better than being a scumbag.
Jian Yue stood less than three meters away. Her face was cold, and her eyes were like daggers.
It was clear that seeing Jiang Pan did not put her in a good mood.
There was no escaping now, as Jiang Pan had to buy inhibitors. Fortunately, she was used to wearing a mask due to the pandemic. Even after transmigrating to this world, she habitually wore a mask when she went out, especially to a place like a hospital.
As the saying goes, “Once the mask is on, no one is in love.”
Jiang Pan calmed herself down, avoided Jian Yue’s terrifying gaze, and went to the prescription window to wait in line.
The next second, Jian Yue lined up behind her.
Jiang Pan: “?”
After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Pan remained calm.
But she couldn’t help but worry that Jian Yue would ambush her from behind.
For example, by kicking her.
But on second thought, this was a public place. As a well-known heiress, she wouldn’t do something like that in public.
However, Jiang Pan still felt a chill down the back of her neck.
What if I’m a good Samaritan and let Jian Yue go in front of me?
As soon as this thought popped into her head, Jiang Pan wanted to call herself an idiot.
Jiang Pan frowned and prayed anxiously for the line to move faster so she could get her medication and leave quickly.
Just as she was mentally muttering, Jian Yue suddenly stood in front of her.
Jiang Pan was briefly stunned, then secretly happy. It was exactly what she wanted.
But her happiness only lasted for a few seconds because a righteous elderly woman behind her spoke up, “Honey, do you know her? Why did you cut in line? That’s so rude.”
Jiang Pan had no choice but to explain, “We know each other…”
“I don’t know her.” Before she could finish, Jian Yue interrupted, turning her head and giving Jiang Pan a cold glare.
Jiang Pan was stunned. “…Huh?”
If you say that, you’re going to get roasted by the righteous crowd.
She’s so foolish.
Sure enough, the elderly woman, who looked like a neighborhood committee justice warrior, opened her mouth and unleashed a level ten verbal assault.
“If you don’t know her, why are you cutting in line?”
“What, do you own the hospital?”
“Are you a VIP?”
“You’re in a hurry for your medication, but so is she…”
She didn’t forget to comfort Jiang Pan. “Don’t be afraid, girl. I’ll stick up for you.”
Jian Yue’s composed face showed a hint of panic. Her eyes revealed a trace of surprise, as if she hadn’t expected her to get scolded for cutting in front of Jiang Pan.
Jiang Pan also didn’t expect the elderly woman to be so passionate, but seeing Jian Yue being scolded like this, she felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.
She quickly thanked the woman and whispered in her ear, “She owns this hospital.”
The elderly woman: “…”
I spoke too soon.
Jian Yue was standing behind Jiang Pan. Unless she closed her eyes, she would always see her, which was so frustrating.
She didn’t expect to get scolded for moving to a different spot, and what’s worse, she couldn’t even scold back.
After getting her medication and leaving the pharmacy, Jian Yue got angrier the more she thought about it. She secretly regretted not scolding Jiang Pan earlier.
Jiang Pan, who had just gotten her inhibitors, walked in the opposite direction from Jian Yue. Her steps were quick until she could no longer see any sign of Jian Yue. Only then did she slow down.
When she stopped, Jiang Pan realized, Why didn’t I just take my medication and leave the hospital?
Why did I come to the parking lot?
I’ll just go back the way I came. Thinking this, Jiang Pan turned around to leave and was almost hit by a car suddenly driving up from the underground parking garage.
The car slammed on its brakes. Jiang Pan instinctively screamed and subconsciously complained, “How do you drive?”
The driver, whose window was down, looked dejected.
After seeing who the driver was, Jiang Pan fell silent.
It was Jian Yue again.
She tried to avoid her, but it was no use.
She really did try her best.
The kind of trying that makes you break a sweat.
But Jian Yue’s eyes were filled with “You’re following me.”
Should I explain?
But before Jiang Pan could speak, she heard Jian Yue ask unhappily, “You really are following me, aren’t you?”
Jiang Pan frowned slightly. What does she mean by “really”?
Did Jian Yue think I was intentionally following her earlier?
I really wasn’t!
She looked directly into Jian Yue’s eyes. “If I say I wasn’t, will you believe me?”
However, Jian Yue’s favorability toward this person was at a complete negative.
Believe her? Not a chance.
Jian Yue turned off the car, opened the door, and got out. Her eyes were dark, and she gritted her teeth. “If I believe another word you say, I’m an idiot.”
What else could Jiang Pan say? It seemed like no matter what she said, Jian Yue wouldn’t believe her.
She sighed helplessly and could only say, “I’m so sorry.”
“An apology won’t fix what you did to me!” Something triggered an emotional switch, and Jian Yue suddenly became furious. “I’ve already let you go, so why are you still holding on to me?”
Jiang Pan didn’t expect such a big reaction from Jian Yue just from a simple apology. She was speechless. After all, she wasn’t the original owner and didn’t do those terrible things to Jian Yue. She didn’t want to take the blame for her.
Most importantly, she really did come here to avoid Jian Yue.
She was sorry for the misunderstanding, but besides that, she would not plead guilty!
“You still love me? You regret hurting me?” Jian Yue glared at her. “I’m sad to tell you that those reasons aren’t enough to move me. Okay, I’ll admit that I did love you during the years we were together. I even thought that even if you betrayed me one day, I wouldn’t be able to hate you, but now it seems I overestimated your place in my heart. I hate you. I despise you. You disgust me. I want to kill you!”
She was truly angry and full of grievances, so much so that her eyes uncontrollably turned red. “Don’t follow me anymore. Don’t think about getting back together with me. I don’t want to break the law, okay? You b*tch!”
Indeed, Jian Yue’s words had an effect. Jiang Pan stood there, unable to say a word. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. Her face was full of anger and the frustration of being betrayed and hurt by someone she loved. Her clear eyes were filled with suppressed tears.
She chose not to use the law to end this relationship, which was both decent and kind.
Original owner, you bstard, you hurt someone who truly loved you.*
Whether it was because she was a soft-hearted person or for some other reason, at this moment, Jiang Pan felt so much empathy for Jian Yue that she had the urge to hug her.
Suppressing the impulse, Jiang Pan sighed and spoke. Her voice was gentler than ever. “I really… I really don’t know what to say… I’m so, so sorry, I really am…”
But before she could finish, Jian Yue suddenly grabbed her hair, pushed her head, and kicked her into the car. Not just once, but several times.
Jiang Pan: “?!”
What’s going on?
The kicks hurt. Jiang Pan couldn’t help but think, Big sister, no matter how much you hate me, you can’t just attack me out of nowhere.
“Miss Jian, what a coincidence.”
The person was a famous gossip reporter in the city. His last name was Xia, and he was nicknamed “Paparazzi Xia.” He was known for having all the gossip about the entertainment and wealthy circles in the city.
He was constantly digging up first-hand information on celebrities and wealthy businessmen. The news of Jian Yue and Jiang Pan’s divorce was first broken by him.
Jian Yue saw that he looked a lot like him from a distance. If he caught her standing with Jiang Pan, he’d have a field day writing about it.
She didn’t want to take up public resources and have this paparazzi, who loved to exaggerate and sensationalize, write nonsense about her. After a brief moment of panic, she forcefully kicked Jiang Pan, who was completely confused, into the car. She didn’t forget to glare at her, warning her to hide. She slammed the car door shut, turned around, and in a second, switched to a calm and collected demeanor. “It is a coincidence. I wonder if it’s a chance meeting or if you were hiding in some rat hole, spying on me.”
Paparazzi Xia glanced at the car, and his eyes narrowed into a thin line. “Miss Jian, as you can see, I just got here. From a distance, I saw someone’s car parked in front of the garage entrance and thought they might need help. I didn’t expect it to be you.”
Jian Yue scoffed. “I didn’t know you were so willing to help people.”
A paparazzi’s basic professional ethics and principles were to be shameless. He smiled and peered into the car. “Who were you talking to just now? The person’s figure looks a lot like someone.”
“Huh? You must be seeing things. It’s just me here.” No matter how panicked Jian Yue was inside, she had to remain calm on the outside.
However, Paparazzi Xia didn’t believe her at all. His all-knowing eyes were fixed on the car. “Is that so? But both of my eyes have 20/20 vision.”
Jian Yue chuckled. “Are you saying I’m lying?” Without waiting for an answer, she said directly, “How about you open the car door and see for yourself? But just so you know, if you don’t find anyone, don’t blame me for getting nasty.”
Of course, Paparazzi Xia wouldn’t open the car door. He smiled and apologized, but he still didn’t give up. “I must have seen it wrong. I just took a quick glance and it really looked like you were talking to someone. I even heard a voice.”
Jian Yue’s heart was a little panicked. She let out a laugh. “Not only is your eyesight good, but your hearing is also excellent.”
Paparazzi Xia truly used his shamelessness as a weapon. “I can’t help it, Miss Jian. You know this is how I make a living. I have to have good eyes and ears.”
Jian Yue’s face fell even more. She cursed him inwardly, but she could only say, “You didn’t come to the hospital just to talk to me, did you? Go get your check-up or buy your medication. Go on.”
“Thank you for your concern, Miss Jian. I just came to buy some medicine.” That’s what he said, but he showed no signs of leaving because he had received a text from his informant saying that Jian Yue and Jiang Pan were seen entering the hospital at the same time and that Jian Yue had gone to the gynecology department.
Jian Yue was starting to get impatient. Her voice was cold. “Then what are you waiting for? You’ll miss closing time if you’re late.”
“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry.” Paparazzi Xia stood his ground, as if he wouldn’t give up until he got his first-hand news. He had been in this line of work for a long time and was no longer afraid of the other person calling the police.
If he could get a first-hand scoop, his actions would, at most, be considered harassment, and since there were no serious consequences, it wouldn’t even be a crime.
Paparazzi Xia had gone through this countless times. The police couldn’t do anything to him. They would just reprimand him and give him a detention.
He knew he was being overly annoying, but he couldn’t help it. This was the job he had to do.
Jian Yue was truly annoyed. “Are you really going to take advantage of me just because I’m not getting mad? What are you, anyway? Don’t push your luck.” With that, she added a warning. “Don’t think that no one can deal with you.”
Even though Jian Yue was a gentle and sweet Omega, don’t forget that she was also a pampered and self-centered heiress.
What wealthy heiress doesn’t have a temper?
So, now that she thought about it, that b*stard original owner was truly held on the tip of Jian Yue’s heart.
After being scolded and insulted, Paparazzi Xia’s expression didn’t change at all. He even gave a small smile. “That’s a good one, Miss Jian. I don’t want to be so shameless, but I can’t help it. I have to eat.”
Jian Yue looked at this annoying man who was like a dog’s skin plaster. She felt her anger rise, but she also knew that she couldn’t get serious with this kind of person. This b*stard just wanted to confirm if Jiang Pan was in the car.
Fine, I’ll give him what he wants.
Jian Yue suppressed her anger and forced a smile. “It seems like you won’t leave until you see who’s in my car.”
Paparazzi Xia was immediately flattered but said, “I’m just concerned that you’re being kidnapped.”
Jian Yue rolled her eyes so hard they almost went into her head. Her fists were clenched.
And Jiang Pan, who was curled up in the car, had a bad feeling.
If she’s going to expose me, why did she kick me into the car and hide me in the first place?
Jian Yue spoke. “It’s a dog.”
Jiang Pan: “?”
Paparazzi Xia: “?”
“There’s a dog in the car. I was just talking to the dog.” Jian Yue was serious, and then she asked in a cold voice, “Do I have to report to you about everything I do and everyone I’m with?”
Paparazzi Xia’s eyebrows furrowed, and his expression showed a hint of disappointment, but he still clearly didn’t believe her. “Are there… dogs that look so much like people?”
“You must not have seen much,” Jian Yue’s eyes flickered, and she looked at him with a smirk. “You’re one of them.”
Paparazzi Xia: “…”
Jian Yue rolled her eyes at him and tapped on the car window. “Say something to your friend.”
Jiang Pan: “…”
Did I really just become a dog?
Paparazzi Xia: “…”
I’m a paparazzi, not a dog.
Jian Yue turned her head and raised her voice. “You’re a disobedient dog. Bark!”
Jiang Pan: “…”
Heh, woman.
Jiang Pan was curled up in the car, listening to everything outside. She understood Jian Yue’s helplessness and anger toward the paparazzi.
She didn’t have a good impression of paparazzi either. They were a bunch of b*stards with no morals.
She would do as Jian Yue said. A dog is a dog.
Dogs are so cute and loyal.
Besides, helping Jian Yue was helping herself.
After saying that, Jian Yue was unsure. She even regretted lying.
She was certain that Jiang Pan, that dog, wouldn’t do what she told her to do.
That person cared more about her pride than she did about Jian Yue.
Seeing Paparazzi Xia’s expression of watching a good show, Jian Yue’s eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard a dog bark from the car.
“Woof, woof!”
Jian Yue: “…”
Jian Yue was a little stunned. Jiang Pan… she actually barked like a dog?
Paparazzi Xia: “?!”
Could it really be a dog?
Once Jiang Pan started, she couldn’t stop.
You want me to bark like a dog?
Today, this fairy will show you what a real bark is.
You won’t even be able to tell if it’s a person or a dog!
“Woof woof woof woof…”
“Awooooo…”
“Arf arf arf arf…”
“Awooo, awooo…”
“Woof woof…”
“Roooooo…”
Jian Yue: “…”
That’s enough!
How to describe Paparazzi Xia’s expression? His facial muscles twitched. He couldn’t help but sigh. “There are… so many kinds of dogs.”
Jian Yue was so embarrassed that she could have died. “…Yes, there are… many kinds of dogs.”
Jiang Pan was so lost in the moment that she reached a state of ecstasy. She was a genius. She could imitate all kinds of dogs: big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, male dogs, female dogs, and even wolves. She could imitate whichever one she wanted.
She was going to make sure Jian Yue was a hundred, a thousand, a million times satisfied!
“…Ribbit!”
Jian Yue: “?”
Paparazzi Xia: “?”
Jiang Pan: “?”
Fuck, my mouth slipped.
Paparazzi Xia frowned. “Why is there a frog?”
Jian Yue’s face froze. Then her mouth twitched. Suppressing the urge to kill Jiang Pan, she managed to say, “…Yeah.”
Jiang Pan: “…”
Bstard, you’re the frog!
That’s a toad!
Author’s Note:
I don’t know why those two words get blocked.
Tell me what kind of dog you want, and I’ll give it to you. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.
Jian Yue: Thank you so much.
