Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 45

“If that’s the case, Brother, you must remember to reserve a position for Yanyan in advance to prevent her from being poached by other companies.”

Since his sister had spoken, Fu Qingyan naturally had to consider it seriously. His employees were almost all graduates from prestigious universities, including many overseas talents. If he wanted Ruan Jiyan, he would first have to assess her capabilities.

He trusted the person Fu Qingyun favored, after all, she was recommended by his sister. Fu Qingyan already knew about Ruan Jiyan’s family situation. Initially, he had hoped his sister would marry Miss Song Nanyan from the Song family, but now it seemed his sister was set on Ruan Jiyan.

“Brother, I know what you’re thinking. Are you still trying to set up Song Nanyan and me?”

Fu Qingyun retained memories of the original body. She knew that a few years ago, Song Nanyan was an un-differentiated Omega, only differentiating into an Alpha at the age of twenty-one.

“You can keep dreaming. Song Nanyan already differentiated into an Alpha. If we got together, we would have probably imploded.”

She was right. With their similar personalities, the two were destined not to be together.

“See you later, Brother. Yanyan is about to finish class. I’m waiting to pick her up.”

Looking at his lovesick sister, Fu Qingyan couldn’t help but sigh. This was the consequence of dating: a complete loss of freedom, constantly being managed by a partner. Yet, Fu Qingyun wore an expression of utter contentment.

Fu Qingyan opened his phone, called Mrs. Tang, and then sat at his desk and opened Ruan Jiyan’s profile.

He was the one who arranged Ruan Jiyan’s readmission documents. This girl was excellent. The bankruptcy and debt of the Ruan family hadn’t crushed her. She was indeed a good child, and Fu Qingyan believed his sister had chosen wisely.

Fu Qingyun, bored while waiting for Ruan Jiyan to come out of school, opened WeChat, planning to talk to Song Nanyan, the car thief, about when she would return her car.

Just then, her WeChat message notification rang. Fu Qingyun checked it and saw it was the friend request from the ghost bride she had added at the haunted house last time.

Not good. She had planned to delete the contact after getting the key and leaving, but she forgot.

What should I do, what should I do, what should I do…

Seeing Ruan Jiyan already approaching the main gate, Fu Qingyun put away her phone and smiled as she went to meet her: “How are you out so early today?”

Summer was approaching. Fu Qingyun had been wearing her favorite classic white shirt these days, looking very alluring.

“Button up.”

Ruan Jiyan’s sharp eyes went to work, tidying Fu Qingyun’s slightly open shirt collar. She also squeezed her ear: “You can’t expose yourself outside. Only show me when we’re home.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Ruan Jiyan’s possessiveness had grown increasingly strong lately. Fu Qingyun didn’t even dare talk to others casually, not even Alphas. As soon as Ruan Jiyan saw her, she would inevitably enter jealousy mode.

Fu Qingyun curved her lips. She opened the car door for Ruan Jiyan to get in first. Her phone was still on the passenger seat. By the time Fu Qingyun got in from the other side, Ruan Jiyan had already picked up her phone, entered the password, and opened it.

Oh no.

Ruan Jiyan’s hand accidentally opened Fu Qingyun’s WeChat, where a red “1” notification badge was visible.

【Are you there?】

Fu Qingyun realized it was too late. She glanced at it guiltily, then looked away.

“Sister, did someone send you a message?”

“From above?”

“I don’t recognize them. No nickname.”

Ruan Jiyan didn’t know who else she had added. She clicked on the person’s profile and saw nothing.

“It must be an advertisement. Just ignore it.”

“Then I’ll delete them.”

Fu Qingyun: “…”

She turned her head to look and saw Ruan Jiyan typing something. After sending the message, she deleted the haunted house staff member.

Fu Qingyun felt it was a little inappropriate. Deleting someone without saying anything was impolite.

Forget it. Impolite or not, she didn’t even remember what the ghost bride looked like. It was just a chance encounter.

Ruan Jiyan silently breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this. She always felt she couldn’t completely hold Fu Qingyun’s heart. Everyone eventually gets bored. Although they were in the honeymoon phase, this passion would inevitably fade, and she was a little scared.

“Ruan Bao, are we going to see Auntie this afternoon? The hospital said Auntie’s condition is stable.”

“Sister, thank you for your help these past few months. If it weren’t for you, I would…”

“Don’t say things like that in front of me, understood?” Fu Qingyun took a candy from the small compartment in the car and handed it to Ruan Jiyan, smiling: “It’s my duty. If you say it again, I’ll get angry.”

Ruan Jiyan took the opportunity to be affectionate:

“Sister, you are so good to me.”

Ruan Jiyan only had one class in the afternoon. Fu Qingyun waited for her in the car in advance, but she didn’t wait for Ruan Jiyan. Instead, she saw Song Nanyan driving up.

Song Nanyan was dressed like a peacock showing off its plumes today, holding a large bouquet of roses. Fu Qingyun could tell immediately that she must have successfully charmed some unfortunate female student.

“Song Nanyan!”

Fu Qingyun opened the car door and got out. Song Nanyan took off her sunglasses and immediately said charmingly, “Oh, my Yun’er! What a coincidence to run into you here!”

“What are you doing here?” Fu Qingyun put one hand on her car, then took Song Nanyan’s sunglasses and put them on: “When are you returning my car?”

“Don’t you have another one? Let me borrow this one for a few more days, and I’ll return it then.”

“A few days?”

Fu Qingyun’s lips twitched: “Are you sure you don’t mean a few months?”

“We’re friends, aren’t we? Please, please.”

“If you crash it, you pay for it yourself. I’m not covering the cost.”

“Got it!”

Fu Qingyun asked curiously, “With that outfit today, are you dating some young girl?”

“Not a young girl. You’ve met her. The Omega I had a blind date with last time.”

Song Nanyan held the roses and smiled: “It was love at first sight for me. After my persistent pursuit, we finally got together. I came here specifically to pick her up from work.”

“I think you just got excited by her looks,” Fu Qingyun joked. In fact, Song Nanyan wasn’t a player. She was cautious about relationships, and Fu Qingyun hoped she wouldn’t disappoint the other person.

“Is she a teacher at Imperial University?”

“She’s an archaeology professor!”

Song Nanyan’s voice suddenly rose, as if afraid that passersby wouldn’t hear her.

Looking at Song Nanyan’s boastful and irritating look, Fu Qingyun shrugged helplessly: “Congratulations. You won over the beauty.”

“Here she comes!”

Fu Qingyun followed Song Nanyan’s gaze. The qipao beauty she had once seen appeared in her field of vision. Song Nanyan eagerly ran up and presented the flowers to her.

“Yunting, you’re finally out.”

The two looked quite good together. Jiang Yunting smiled faintly at her while taking Song Nanyan’s arm. Fu Qingyun thoughtfully stepped aside. When Jiang Yunting walked by, she specifically glanced at her.

Fu Qingyun politely greeted her. Jiang Yunting nodded in response.

“Yun’er, we’re leaving now. You slowly wait for your little girlfriend.”

Song Nanyan drove away with Fu Qingyun’s car again. Fu Qingyun stood there alone, waiting. Ruan Jiyan still hadn’t come out after a long time.

Fu Qingyun was no longer a student at Imperial University, so she couldn’t go inside and had to wait outside.

Ruan Jiyan was called to the counselor’s office today to discuss the scholarship. Her grades ranked in the top three of her year. Barring any complications, this year’s scholarship was hers.

Cen Yin was blackmailed because of the Li Yanwei incident, so she took this opportunity to try and butter up Ruan Jiyan and get close to her. Ruan Jiyan didn’t fall for it and directly rejected her on the spot. She grabbed her bag and took the elevator downstairs.

Just as she reached the ground floor, someone called out to her. She turned around and saw a female Alpha from her class.

She looked somewhat familiar, but Ruan Jiyan didn’t know her name. She wasn’t the class monitor, nor did she usually socialize with people in her class. Besides Zhou Wan and Zhang Xiaolan, she only remembered the names of the study committee member and the class representative.

“Ruan Jiyan.”

“Why didn’t you answer your phone?”

Fu Qingyun had called twice, and no one answered. She couldn’t wait any longer, so she chatted with the gate guard for a while. The two guards recognized Fu Qingyun and let her in.

“What do you want?”

Ruan Jiyan glanced at her watch. Fu Qingyun always arrived half an hour early to wait for her at the school gate. Today, she had been delayed, and Ruan Jiyan just wanted to leave quickly.

“I heard everything the counselor said to you just now.”

The classmate in front of her was named Xie Siqi. Ruan Jiyan vaguely remembered her. The counselor had spoken to her privately, away from everyone else, so she didn’t know how Xie Siqi had heard.

“Mhm.” Ruan Jiyan guessed what she wanted and countered: “And?”

“You’re so rich, why do you need the scholarship?”

The person was direct. Ruan Jiyan paused, then offered a slight smile.

“Since you heard what the counselor said to me, you should also know that I refused her.”

Ruan Jiyan continued: “Scholarships are based on fair competition. What reason do you have to tell me not to take it?”

Before Xie Siqi could speak, Ruan Jiyan added: “Please don’t morally lecture me just because I’m wealthy. If you really need the money, then compete fairly.”

“Ruan Jiyan…”

Ruan Jiyan glanced at her watch again. She couldn’t waste any more time talking to this person. Fu Qingyun was probably getting impatient now.

She accidentally silenced her phone. Fu Qingyun had already called twice while she was talking to Xie Siqi. She was about to call back when she heard a shocking statement.

“Is that money even yours? You’re just being kept, and you have the nerve to say that?”

Ruan Jiyan froze, her hand gripping her bag paused. She looked at the infuriated, tactless person in front of her and gave a silent smile:

“I’m sorry, but I’m truly not being kept.”

She turned to leave, but her wrist was seized. Ruan Jiyan was an Omega, inherently weaker than an Alpha in terms of physical strength.

“Let go.”

She coldly glared at the presumptuous Alpha and struggled to free her wrist.
