Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 9

On the way back, sitting in the car, Cai Luo looked at Sun Qianyi and said, “No need to keep pretending; we’ve driven quite a distance.”

Hearing Cai Luo speak to her, Sun Qianyi sat up straight and asked Su Ke: “Little Ke, hand me my phone.”

“Sister Qianyi, your phone.” Saying this, Su Ke handed the phone to Sun Qianyi.

“Mhm.” Taking the phone, Sun Qianyi immediately opened her messaging app to see if Little Xin had sent her a message. It was 11:47 PM, almost midnight. Little Xin should be asleep by now.

Seeing the message Little Xin had sent, Sun Qianyi was very happy.

Cai Luo shook her head, looking at Sun Qianyi’s smiling eyes and brows. A woman in love is too terrifying!

Sun Qianyi replied to Little Xin: Little Xin, have a sweet dream.

To recharge her energy, Sun Qianyi had planned to sleep until 12 PM the next day. She had arrived at the hotel after midnight, and by the time she had showered and finished washing up, it was already 1 or 2 AM before she went to rest.

The plan did not go as Sun Qianyi had intended. Before 11 AM, Cai Luo was knocking outside, saying she needed to see her urgently. Dragging her sleepy body, Sun Qianyi opened the door for Cai Luo. “What is it?”

“Auntie called and said your sister is home now, and asked us to rush back right away,” Cai Luo said.

“I understand. I’ll get up now.” I didn’t expect the sister who is always away to come home. Mom is in such a hurry to call me back; something must have happened.

“Then hurry up. I’ll go find Su Ke to book plane tickets. We’ll meet in the lobby later.” Saying this, Cai Luo left the room and closed the door.

Sun Qianyi gave a wry smile. No matter how rushed it is, I can’t rush it.

Zhao Xinyu woke up early and hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. She had only eaten a tiny bit yesterday morning and was starving before noon.

Indeed, being young is different. She was hungry again about an hour after eating. This led to Zhao Xinyu eating a lot of food this morning.

When Zhao Xuan came downstairs, he saw his sister eating breakfast. “Little Xin, why are you up so early?”

…

It’s still early? It’s 8 AM now! “It’s not early, Brother. Is the photocopier being delivered today?”

Adjusting the cuffs of his shirt, Zhao Xuan said, “It will be delivered today. I called Mom and Dad this morning. They said they’re leaving today and will arrive tomorrow. The room I told you about clearing out for you yesterday—Mom and Dad will call you today to talk about it.”

“I know. But Brother, did Mom and Dad not object? I feel so strange~” The original host loved to travel, buying many things she needed for her trips. At first, the original host’s parents and brother supported her travels, but later, as traveling risked her life, they took turns trying to talk her out of it, not wanting her to travel.

The closet still had many sets of clothes needed for traveling.

Her parents clearing out a room for her and not objecting—I wonder what Zhao Xuan said.

In the past, when the original host wanted to read, she would buy a book and put it in her dad’s study after reading it. The original host never had her own study. Compared to a study, having a computer was actually enough for the original host’s use.

Maintaining some curiosity now should be the most normal reaction.

I swear, I truly feel like I have a talent for acting.

Hearing his sister’s doubts, Zhao Xuan was genuinely startled. These past two days, he had told his parents not to call his sister, and he had already mentioned that his sister was interested in the stock market.

He was so excited and eager to tell his parents about his sister’s talent after seeing her documents last night. Because it was too late last night, he called them early this morning.

“What’s so strange about it? Whatever decision you make, don’t Mom, Dad, and I support you?”

“Mhm, mhm.” My brother is the best.

After breakfast, Zhao Xuan left for the company, and Zhao Xinyu returned to her room. Following habit, Zhao Xinyu sent a message to Sun Qianyi, then continued with yesterday’s work.

The photocopier was delivered in the morning. The person left after it was installed. Zhao Xinyu quickly made a copy of the organized data; Zhao Xuan would probably ask for it when he returned tonight.

At noon, the original host’s mother, Ms. Ming Wenxin, called. Seeing the phone ringing continuously, Zhao Xinyu was stunned for more than ten seconds before answering. “Mom~”

“Little Xin, Mom is calling you because I wanted to ask if there are any local specialties you want me to bring back from Grandma’s place.”

The voice on the other end of the phone matched the one in the original host’s memory—gentle and pleasant: “Mom, just bring whatever you see fit. I’ll eat anything.”

“Okay. Your brother called your Dad this morning. There are three guest rooms on the second floor; check which one you want for your study.”

“Mom, I’ll go take a look now. I’ll message you when I’ve decided.”

“That works too. Mom will wait for your message.”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Xinyu sighed in relief. Looking at her messaging app, Sun Qianyi hadn’t replied, making Zhao Xinyu a little worried. It was already noon; Sun Qianyi should have seen her message. I’ll wait and see. Maybe Sun Qianyi really hasn’t seen it.

Zhao Xinyu went to check the guest rooms on the second floor. She had showered in one of them before. Zhao Xinyu chose this used room, as it was also close to her own.

Zhao Xinyu messaged Ms. Ming, and the reply surprised her. Ms. Ming wanted to find a designer to completely redesign the study. Zhao Xinyu felt that was too much trouble. If they did that, she would have to wait two or three months to use the study.

It’s bothersome. Didn’t my brother say to just clear it out!

Zhao Xinyu opened the reply box and typed: Mom, just arrange a home improvement designer for me. I want to decorate it myself.

Mom: Okay~ Then I’ll find you a home improvement designer.

Zhao Xinyu: Mhm, mhm. [Emoji: Hearts]

In the afternoon, Zhao Xinyu further sub-categorized the stock price trend charts she had already classified. Looking at the charts for stocks with potential, Zhao Xinyu created a new spreadsheet. She would conduct further research once the company information was in her hands. The companies she was screening now would be Zhao Xinyu’s targets once she joined the company.

Around 3 PM, Sun Qianyi still hadn’t replied to her message. Zhao Xinyu was getting worried. She tried calling, but it didn’t go through; the phone was off!

At this time, Sun Qianyi had just gotten off the plane and hadn’t checked her phone. Sun Qianyi went straight home, unsure of what was happening or how things had developed at home.

Sun Qianyi entered the house and immediately felt the atmosphere was wrong. Not only was her younger sister there, but her sister’s mother was also present!

“What day is it today? So many guests visiting the house?” Sun Qianyi glanced at the two women indifferently, her tone making it sound like they were genuinely guests, as she looked at her grandfather.

The old man snorted lightly: “What guests? I don’t see any.”

Sun Qian spoke up, urgently saying: “I am Father’s daughter, not a guest, but family!”

Sun Qianyi couldn’t be bothered with her and walked directly to her mother’s side.

Sun Qian had brought her mother along today with no intention of leaving. She had originally planned to attract the attention of the Zhao family’s Zhao Xuan. The Zhao family was not only rich and powerful, but she also liked Zhao Xuan, but he clearly wasn’t interested.

Compared to choosing other men, Lin Fanchen was different. Lin Fanchen loved her, unlike other rich second-generation men who just wanted to play around. She felt that even if her grandfather didn’t want her and her mother in the house, he would have to consider the Lin family’s influence.

Her efforts over the past few days had finally led Lin Fanchen to propose to her. Now that she had stated her intentions to her grandfather and father, even if they looked upon her and her mother with great displeasure, they hadn’t yet asked them to leave.

Sun Qianyi sat beside her mother, holding her slightly cold hand, completely ignoring her father and grandfather as she said, “Grandfather, what has happened?”

“This little girl wants to come back, and… and she’s gotten involved with that boy Lin Fanchen, saying they’re about to get married.”

Looking at her grandfather, who was flushed with anger, Sun Qianyi roughly understood the situation.

The family company wasn’t solely controlled by her grandfather. Even if Sun Qian and Lin Fanchen’s marriage insulted the Sun family’s face and hers, business interests were paramount. No matter how angry her grandfather was, there was nothing he could do. Her father primarily managed the company now, and various branch members of the family held significant shares.

As for her father, Sun Qianyi didn’t say a single word to him.

Looking at Sun Qian and her birth mother, she said, “Then come home. I’m not coming back now, and it’s livelier with more people at home.”

???

Sun Qian was stunned. Sun Qianyi actually personally said she could come home! “Are you serious, Sister?”

“Don’t look at me with such doubt. I’ve never said you couldn’t come back.” Saying this, Sun Qianyi looked at her grandfather: “My stance is clear. Grandfather, just do whatever you think is best. Mother looks tired, so I’m going to take her to the room to rest.”

“Go ahead.”

After dropping Sun Qianyi off at her home, Cai Luo took Su Ke back to the company. On the way back, Cai Luo saw the message Zhao Xinyu sent her, looking for Sun Qianyi.

Little Zhao: Sister Cai Luo, Qianyi hasn’t replied to my message. Nothing has happened, right? Please reply to me when you see this message. I can’t reach Qianyi by phone.

Cai Luo didn’t rush to reply. She called Sun Qianyi instead.

“Cai Luo, what is it?”

“Your wife can’t reach you. She sent worried messages to me. How should I reply to her?”

“Just tell her I’m fine. I’ll check my phone.”

“Fine,” Cai Luo said and hung up. Cai Luo then replied to Little Zhao with two words: She’s fine.

Sun Qianyi turned on her phone and asked her mother, Kong Hui: “Mom, what are your thoughts right now? Can you tell me?”

“Mom hasn’t figured it out yet…”

Sun Qianyi sighed, looking at Little Xin’s messages: Sister, are you coming back today?

Little Xin: Sister, if you’re coming back today, tell me what time, and I’ll come pick you up.

Little Xin: Sister, did something happen to you? You haven’t replied to me…

Little Xin: Sister, your phone is unreachable…

Seeing the long stream of messages from Little Xin, Sun Qianyi was touched. There was someone who worried about her, someone who worried enough to contact her friends to find her.

Sun Qianyi replied with a message: Sorry, Little Xin. Sister is home now. When Little Xin called, Sister was probably on the plane, and the phone was off. Sister will call you later tonight.

After replying, Sun Qianyi put her phone away. She looked earnestly at her mother: “Mom, those two, mother and daughter, are staying tonight. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, that won’t do. When I was little, that woman caused trouble at home so many times. Now that she’s walked in the door, life won’t be peaceful from now on.”

“I don’t want to live in the same house with them either, but your father and I are still married… I…” she said, breaking down into tears.

Author’s Note:

Zhao Xinyu: Sun Qianyi is gone, and her phone is dead!

Sun Qianyi: Don’t be angry, sweetheart. It’s the plane’s fault.

Plane: ……
