Chapter 782: She Is Not Resigned to Being the Supporting Female Character
Qin Jiao took a sip of coffee. “I’m curious, so go ahead and tell me.”
Su Yuxi frowned. “I hate that look on your face, like you have everything under control. You refused before, but now you’ve suddenly agreed. Are you planning to record this?”
Qin Jiao casually took out her bag, opening it for Su Yuxi to see.
Then she spread her arms and spun in a circle.
“You can search me if you want. However, I imagine you brought a signal jammer, didn’t you?”
Recording devices aren’t that advanced these days.
A signal jammer would be enough to do the trick.
Su Yuxi sneered, “You’re as cunning as ever.”
Qin Jiao replied, “It’s called being smart, thank you. Lin Nian, there’s one thing I’m very curious about. Why do you always have it out for me?”
Since they were laying all their cards on the table, she might as well get this resentment off her chest.
Su Yuxi said coldly, “Because you’re the female lead!”
Qin Jiao simply said, “Oh,” her expression placid.
Su Yuxi instantly became agitated. “So you did know! You knew everything all along!”
Qin Jiao said, “And what of it? I knew everything, and I simply worked hard to change my own life. But you? Lin Nian, you were dealt a winning hand by transmigrating, and look at the mess you’ve made of it.”
“At first, you approached Shen Feng with ulterior motives—oh, back then he was still called Chen Feng. Did you think that because he was the richest man in the book, if you married him, you’d become the richest man’s wife?”
With her innermost thoughts exposed, Lin Nian clenched her fists!
She retorted indignantly, “What’s wrong with thinking that way! The protagonists of the story are favored by fate, with impossibly good luck. I knew the future, so what’s wrong with my choice!”
Qin Jiao said, “Fine, let’s say everything you said is right—the protagonist is favored by fate. But you also said I’m the female lead. So, have you ever considered that I’m favored by fate, too? Chen Feng only becomes the male lead when he’s with me. Separated from me, he’s a nobody, which means you’re a nobody too.”
Lin Nian staggered.
Qin Jiao continued, “You saw this year’s new income rankings for North City, right? Thanks to my clothing company and restaurant chain, my total income is at the top of the list. In other words, I’m North City’s richest person this year. Lin Nian, you’re not actually stupid, and you have the advantage of knowing the future. Why didn’t you try to make it on your own, instead of insisting on becoming the ‘richest man’s wife’?”
She had originally wanted to vent her frustrations at Qin Jiao.
But Qin Jiao had turned the tables on her.
Hearing her words, Su Yuxi began to tremble uncontrollably!
She shot to her feet, slamming her hands on the table, and said with a savage expression, “It’s not like that! You don’t understand! A protagonist’s halo can disappear! It happened to Shen Feng, and it’ll happen to you too! I’ve sacrificed so much, suffered so much. Do you know how many times I’ve gone under the knife? Do you know what it’s like to suppress my disgust while serving that old man, Zhao Hui? You don’t know! You have no idea how much I’ve suffered!”
Su Yuxi started to cry, her tears smearing her exquisite makeup.
Qin Jiao lowered her gaze.
‘Oh, Zhao Hui.’
‘The name’s out. Now I can investigate his resources and background.’
Meanwhile, Su Yuxi was still crying. She truly felt wronged. She had originally lived in a peaceful era, and all of this happened because she’d left a single comment on a historical novel.
She believed the female lead, Qin Jiao, was just lucky, coasting to an easy victory.
And then, she was transmigrated into that very novel, becoming the female lead’s foil.
They both came from the countryside, but because the female lead got together with the male lead, Chen Feng, she ended up becoming the wife of the richest man.
So Lin Nian decided to strike first and get Chen Feng for herself.
Since there was no going back, Lin Nian decided to live a good life in this world.
‘How was I wrong?’
‘I wasn’t wrong at all!’
