Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 22
Noticing Fu Qingyun’s gossipy gaze staring at her from top to bottom, Ruan Jiyan tightened her grip on the Hermès bag.
“Sister, what are you looking at?”
Fu Qingyun regarded Ruan Jiyan with the look of “a daughter of the house has come of age,” and then smiled:
“I’m admiring you.”
At that moment, 419 unexpectedly popped up: [Host, your eyes are about to bore a hole into Ruan Jiyan.]
“Have some breakfast before you go. I’ve warmed up some milk for you.”
Fu Qingyun knew Ruan Jiyan was meeting Jiang Qi today. If she didn’t eat breakfast, she would probably lose her appetite upon seeing Jiang Qi’s face.
After all, Ruan Jiyan had a tough battle ahead today, so she should eat something to replenish her energy and thoroughly beat Jiang Qi until she was bruised and battered.
[Host, our mission is to influence the villain, not to condone her harming others, but to advocate love and peace.]
Fu Qingyun was startled by the sudden appearance of 419.
“Oh, alright, alright. I was just making an example. Don’t pop out and scare me like that.”
419 obediently quieted down and retreated, remaining silent for a long time.
“Okay.”
Ruan Jiyan complied because she had already refused Fu Qingyun once yesterday. If she refused a second time today, the sense of obedience she had established in front of the other woman would completely vanish.
Alphas like Omegas who obey them, and Fu Qingyun was no exception.
She sat across from Fu Qingyun, taking small bites of her sandwich and drinking a cup of hot milk.
After Ruan Jiyan finished breakfast, Fu Qingyun tossed her the car keys.
Ruan Jiyan caught them and was slightly stunned. It was the key to Fu Qingyun’s RR. This person was actually so trusting as to let her drive a car worth tens of millions.
“Sister, I’d better take a taxi.”
Ruan Jiyan looked troubled. It wasn’t that she couldn’t drive it, but the car was too conspicuous.
“What a waste to have a car and not drive it,” Fu Qingyun smiled and pulled another set of keys from her bag, waving them at Ruan Jiyan: “I asked my brother to send another one over. Drive that one for now.”
Ruan Jiyan knew she couldn’t keep refusing Fu Qingyun’s kindness. She deliberately put on a timid look, her hand gripping the key trembling slightly.
“Drive it without worry. It doesn’t matter if it gets scratched.”
She was waiting for that exact sentence from Fu Qingyun. Since the other person had said it wasn’t her problem, she no longer needed to be polite.
“Thank you, Sister.”
Fu Qingyun smiled faintly. She wasn’t worried at all about the car being scratched by other vehicles. Most cars saw it and sped away to avoid it; how could anyone be audacious enough to scrape against it?
Ruan Jiyan drove out. With sunglasses perched on her nose, her entire demeanor and presence were like that of a noble young lady going out, attracting a lot of attention.
The more conspicuous, the better—this was the effect Ruan Jiyan wanted most.
Her family had fallen on hard times. Her so-called close friends had scorned her and constantly mocked her to see her fall. Ruan Jiyan remembered all of this.
Although everything she wore and carried was provided by Fu Qingyun, it served as a powerful trump card for Ruan Jiyan.
There would definitely be people talking behind her back, saying Ruan Jiyan was being kept by a wealthy person, spending her days lewdly and begging in bed, but so what?
Ruan Jiyan curved her lips. As long as it’s enough to deal with Jiang Qi.
The restaurant was a place Ruan Jiyan knew well. When she drove the car to the restaurant entrance, it caused quite a stir among the onlookers.
Jiang Qi was scrolling through Weibo on her phone. Her eyes caught the RR outside the door, and she thought it was some rich second generation showing off, but the next second, her mouth dropped wide open, and her eyes bulged.
It wasn’t until Ruan Jiyan took off her sunglasses, walked in, and sat across from her that she finally reacted.
“Yanyan! How did you…”
Jiang Qi stared at the completely transformed Ruan Jiyan in disbelief, completely unaware of her lapse in etiquette.
Although her family also owned a company, they couldn’t possibly afford the luxury Ruan Jiyan was wearing. The clothes and the Hermès bag Ruan Jiyan carried were things that would rarely, if ever, appear on her before.
“What about me?”
Ruan Jiyan casually placed her car key on the table, then opened her bag, revealing a jet-black card inside.
She felt conflicted. This card must have been put there by Fu Qingyun.
Ruan Jiyan ignored the card for now and paid no mind to the jealous look in Jiang Qi’s eyes.
“Miss, what would you like to drink?”
“A latte, thank you.”
She had eaten before coming and had no appetite, especially after seeing Jiang Qi’s repulsive face.
“Yanyan, where did you get all these things?”
Jiang Qi warmly extended her hand toward Ruan Jiyan, intending to link arms as they used to, but the other woman deftly dodged her.
“You mean these? Someone gave them to me.”
“I don’t believe it,” Jiang Qi stared at the Hermès bag and car key on the table, her eyes bloodshot with envy. She shook her head, looking curious: “You must have latched onto a sugar daddy.”
Ruan Jiyan felt sick the moment she saw Jiang Qi’s face, even more so than when she faced Fu Qingyun.
“Sugar daddy? Then tell me, what kind of person is called a sugar daddy?”
“Fu Qingyan, the eldest young master of the Fu family.”
Jiang Qi blurted it out immediately.
Ruan Jiyan was stunned. Fu Qingyan was Fu Qingyun’s older brother. If she were to go by Jiang Qi’s words, she had indeed latched onto a sugar daddy.
“What a coincidence. I’m currently in a relationship with the second young miss of the Fu family.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Qi’s eyes widened again, and the knuckles of her hand gripping the water cup turned white.
“H-how is that possible…”
How could Ruan Jiyan be with Fu Qingyun? That day, she had clearly drugged Ruan Jiyan, sold her to President Qiao, and ensured she would become a plaything of the upper class.
So, how could Ruan Jiyan have left unharmed and now be living a successful life, dating the second young miss of the Fu family?
“Oh, by the way, I should thank you for helping me find a job at the bar. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be delivering food and washing dishes at a small restaurant.”
Ruan Jiyan spoke these words with a smile, successfully provoking the visibly angry Jiang Qi, whose face had turned the color of a pig’s liver.
“Well, congratulations to you,” Jiang Qi took a large gulp of juice, then continued relentlessly: “Fu Qingyun is a notorious flirt, always surrounded by Omegas. Yanyan, you need to be careful. What if she gets tired of you one day and dumps you?”
Listening to Jiang Qi’s snide remarks, Ruan Jiyan’s expression briefly turned cold before returning to normal.
“Sister treats me very well,” Ruan Jiyan hooked the car key fob with her index finger, smiling: “She gave me this car.”
“Yanyan, you’re too naive. You can easily be deceived.”
Ruan Jiyan smiled slightly at Jiang Qi, a murderous intent already rising in her heart.
Yes, she was indeed too foolish and naive in the previous life, to actually trust this person, Jiang Qi, who spoke like a Buddha but had the heart of a serpent.
Jiang Qi was the kind of person whose greed was insatiable, and who was never satisfied. She had sold Ruan Jiyan for a high price to Qiao Yunjin, which coincidentally led to her ending up in Fu Qingyun’s bed.
Unlimited wealth, power, and influence—these were the things Jiang Qi loved and craved the most.
She approached Ruan Jiyan initially for vanity and money, and she sold her for money as well.
But now, Ruan Jiyan was living a life thousands of times better than hers, with luxury cars and villas at her disposal anytime. She wondered what Jiang Qi was thinking now.
