Garage Encounter
Zhang Jingyao's original intention was to take a video of Jiang Xiao making a fool of herself in public and use it as an excuse. After all, Jiang Xiao had big breasts, was brainless, and had a bad temper, and every time Lin Qianyu confronted her, she would become furious and unable to save face.
But what she didn't expect was that she accidentally took a video of Jiang Xiao angrily slapping Zhou Wenting and Lin Qianyu. If she sold such explosive news to the paparazzi, she should be able to make a lot of money.
Without time to think about it, Zhang Jingyao decided to play dumb: "Xiaoxiao, what do you want my phone for?"
Jiang Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and her face was full of attitude: "Either hand over your phone, or I ask my dad to withdraw the investment, you choose one."
Half a year ago, she was fooled by Zhang Jingyao into asking her father to invest in a TV series directed by a well-known director, and let Zhang Jingyao bring money into the crew to play the fourth female role. The role is the cold and aloof white moonlight of the male protagonist in the play. The character is likable and easy to act, and it is not impossible for her to become popular. Zhang Jingyao attached great importance to this opportunity. She lost weight, practiced her acting skills, and prepared for several months.
The drama will start filming next month. If the investment is withdrawn at this moment, there is no doubt that all of Zhang Jingyao’s efforts will be wasted.
As expected, Zhang Jingyao immediately panicked and hesitated about which one to choose.
After much thought, Zhang Jingyao chose the former. She thought that since Jiang Xiao didn't know the password of her mobile phone, she couldn't unlock the phone and naturally couldn't read the contents. After tonight, she could just flatter her and get her phone back, right?
So he gritted his teeth and handed over the phone.
Jiang Xiao took the phone, stuffed it into her bag, and left without looking back.
Zhang Jingyao chased after him: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, where are you going? I'll take you home."
"I'm in a bad mood right now. If you want to be my punching bag, just keep following me."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyao stopped immediately and tactfully did not move forward. She knew very well how terrifying Jiang Xiao could be when she got angry. Instead of chasing after her and getting scolded, she might as well think about how to get her phone back.
Jiang Xiao took the car keys from the security guard and planned to drive home by herself. She needed to be alone to calm down.
After waiting for a long time, the elevator finally arrived. Just as Jiang Xiao was about to get in, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.
Over and over again, thousands of eye rolls were not enough for Jiang Xiao to bear. She couldn't suppress her anger: "Damn it, who is this blind man again?"
"Jiang Xiao, can you have some manners? Do you think it's appropriate to swear in public?"
A familiar voice of rebuke rang in my ears.
It turned out to be Zhou Wenting who caught up.
Jiang Xiao: “Oh.”
Dirty words were just auxiliary words to help her vent her emotions and had nothing to do with her upbringing. Besides, she was embarrassing herself, so what did it have to do with him, her ex-boyfriend?
Zhou Wenting's face turned even darker. He stopped preaching and just lowered his head without saying a word.
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said with her last bit of patience: "If you have to fart, do it now."
Zhou Wenting's lips twitched, and he glanced at her hesitantly, then said half-warningly: "Don't regret it if you break up."
Jiang Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud. What did she mean by not regretting it? Is it okay for a male protagonist to be so self-conscious? It seemed that she had licked him too much before, making him unable to tell who was the king or queen.
Jiang Xiao shook off the man's hand and replied in a domineering tone, "You are the one who won't regret it."
"Of course, I know I'm extremely charming, so it's understandable that you don't want to let me go. But have you ever considered the feelings of your first love before you rush out like this? I feel really bad for her."
Zhou Wenting reacted quickly after hearing the last part. He turned his head and saw Lin Qianyu standing in a daze not far away. Her eyes were red and she was biting her lower lip stubbornly as if she was trying to hold back tears. It was unknown how much she had heard.
Zhou Qishen felt very uncomfortable for a moment, and the situation was so complicated that he couldn't figure out who was causing this discomfort.
Seeing that the plan to sow discord had been accomplished, Jiang Xiao was delighted and said with a half-smile: "When you have time to coax your first love and current girlfriend, don't forget to pay back your ex-girlfriend."
Zhou Wenting's face turned pale, his thin lips opened, but he couldn't say anything. He could only watch the elevator door slowly close.
Jiang Xiao leaned against the wall, rubbed her sore temples with her hands, and felt physically and mentally exhausted.
She suddenly realized that she was a vicious female supporting role who had a miserable end. Then she broke up with her cheating boyfriend. Before she could recover from the shock, she had to deal with her cunning enemy honey. No matter who it was, no one would be able to handle it all at once, right?
Just as she was sighing that this world was so fucking bizarre, the phone in her bag beeped. She took it out and saw a bank transfer from Zhou Wenting: five million.
Soon another WeChat message popped up: I’ll give you the rest in a few days.
Although five million is a little bit less, it is better to recover some losses than nothing. Moreover, there is the lesson of his stepfather. What Zhou Wenting hates most in his life is not paying back debts, and he will not drag on paying them back.
No matter where he gets the money from, as long as he can pay it back, it's good enough.
Jiang Xiao collected the money expressionlessly and closed the screen in one go, then looked at herself in the mirror.
The woman had skin as white as porcelain, an oval face, big red lips, seductive upturned fox eyes, and fluffy cold brown wavy hair that added a touch of exotic charm. She was so beautiful that she had a strong visual impact.
Compared to Lin Qianyu's gentle and pure face just now, she really looked like a vicious female supporting role in an old romance drama who would slap people in the face, and slap them madly with both hands.
As the daughter of a real estate tycoon in Beijing, Jiang Xiao is undoubtedly a shining pearl in the upper social circle, not to mention the blessing of her status as a female celebrity. To borrow a line from The Mermaid, she has money and a good figure, and the men chasing her line up from here to France.
What kind of man has she not seen? But she fell in love with Zhou Wenting at first sight, and she was flattering and humble, and she was eager to be his dog, and gave him a watch, a car, and a house, and she almost stripped herself naked and packed herself to be sent to his bed...
Being a dog is fine, but what's even more infuriating is that she has to be a control group for Lin Qianyu. Ever since she met her, she has been slapped in the face and outshined by her. The resources she got were gone, her best friend of many years ran away, her stupid brother rebelled, and even men wanted to share a share with her...
If it were another book, the heroine would be the villain who took away all her luck. However, in this book, she is just a minor supporting character who is destined to be crushed in all aspects.
cannon fodder? Female supporting role? Control group?
Haha, Jiang Xiao laughed, I’m sorry, I only consider myself the protagonist of my own life!
But now recalling the stupid things she had done or was about to do, Jiang Xiao's red lips parted and she uttered two clear and sharp words: "Idiot."
What a bunch of idiots, she is an idiot too.
"bite--"
The moment the elevator door opened, a shrill voice suddenly flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind.
[One good news and one bad news, which one should I listen to first? 】
"bite--"
As soon as the strange and weird words fell, the prompt sound of the elevator door closing behind her rang out. Jiang Xiao was so scared that the hairs on her body stood up and she shivered several times.
What the hell? Young master? Why are you acting here? And what's with this clichéd opening?
The thing seemed to understand her thoughts and immediately responded.
[Hello my lady, I am not a ghost, nor am I acting in the Legend of Zhen Huan. I am system number 003 of this book. 】
Jiang Xiao looked around carefully, then calmly took two steps back, leaning her back against the open elevator door so she could escape at any time.
The lights in the underground garage were dim, and there seemed to be no one else except her.
Rather than a human-caused prank, the voice seemed to come directly from her mind, full of a cold, mechanical feel.
Jiang Xiao swallowed and bravely responded in her heart: Oh, so what?
【System 003: The good news is that congratulations to you for successfully awakening your self-awareness. 】
Jiang Xiao: What about the bad news?
[System 003 (Smile): The bad news is that since you have completely strayed from the main plot, the charm of the hero and heroine has been reduced. The system will automatically activate the supporting role destruction mode. 】
Jiang Xiao’s focus was all on the last sentence of the system: Destroy? Is that what she meant?
【System 003: Yes, that is what you meant. To put it simply, I want to kill you and replace you with another character. 】
Before Jiang Xiao could react, a black car parked opposite her suddenly turned on its lights and sped towards her.
Jiang Xiao subconsciously wanted to escape, but her legs were out of control, as if fixed in place by an unknown force. She could only watch the car getting closer and closer to her...
Jiang Xiao closed her eyes in horror.
*
[System: The villain appears, the female supporting character unlocks a new hidden plot, and the destruction mode is postponed. 】
These were the last words Jiang Xiao heard before she regained control of her body.
After surviving the disaster, Jiang Xiao's face was pale. The fear of death surged into her heart like a tide. Her legs couldn't stop shaking and she almost collapsed to the ground. She instinctively grabbed something.
And the person closest to her was the man who had just saved her.
The man had a strong physique, and the arm she was holding was well-trained, with muscles that were bulging but not exaggerated.
Jiang Xiao tried to calm down. She heard a pleasant and deep voice: "Help me intercept a hit-and-run black car. The last digit of the license plate is xxxx..."
Cold and relaxed, without too much emotion, so calm as if just narrating an ordinary little thing.
Under normal circumstances, hearing such a pleasant voice, Jiang Xiao would have said a few words to the man even if he looked like a piece of shit. However, she just almost got her lunch box, and she was not in the mood for that, so she didn't even raise her head.
Soon, she heard the man ask, "Do you want to call the police?"
"Yes." Jiang Xiao answered without any hesitation.
Call the police, of course she had to. Although she knew it was most likely the system's fault, if she didn't find out who it was right away and let the criminal receive the punishment he deserved, keeping him around would be a potential disaster.
The man hummed softly in response, and then continued to explain things to the person on the other end of the phone.
His voice was steady and calm, and the way he arranged everything slowly and methodically revealed the texture and charm of a mature man.
As Jiang Xiao listened, she couldn't help but feel curious about the man who saved her, and her gaze, which had originally been directed downward, gradually began to move upward.
The man was of an extremely superior height, estimated to be over 1.9 meters, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. The buttons of his black shirt were buttoned tightly to the top, revealing half of his jaw with a delicate and cold line.
The fingers he held the phone with were long and thin, with blue veins full of tension. Jiang Xiao couldn't hold the same model of phone with both hands, but he held it easily with one hand, making the phone look very narrow. When he raised his hand, the dial between his cold white wrist bones reflected a cold silver light.
Jiang Xiao caught a glimpse of it and quickly recognized that the watch was a custom-made one by Vacheron Constantin, and its price was probably three times that of the haute couture dress she was wearing.
Whether in terms of temperament or wealth, this person's status is so noble that he is far above the list of guests she can invite.
Jiang Xiao collected her thoughts and thanked the man sincerely: "Thank you for saving me."
The man drooped his eyelashes when he heard the voice, and his pale face, still in shock, came into view, looking extremely pitiful.
At this moment, the other party seemed to be frightened by something, his pupils suddenly shrank, his lips trembled unconsciously, and he almost blurted out: "Little, little, little uncle?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Hmm? What did you call me?"
An intimidating aura spread over, and Jiang Xiao, who saw the man's face clearly, finally remembered what the system had said: The villain has appeared.
Isn’t the biggest villain in the whole book the protagonist’s uncle Zhou Qishen?
If the Jiang family is a wealthy family, then the Zhou family is an unattainable prominent family with a century-old history and profound heritage. Its descendants are full of talented people, and its prosperity continues. It has stood firm from generation to generation. It is truly a wealthy family among wealthy families.
According to rumors, Zhou Qishen, the current head of the Zhou family, is young but ruthless and a ruthless character that no one dares to mess with.
In the book, he appears to be devoted to the family business and promotes Zhou Wenting to the position according to Grandpa Zhou's wishes. In fact, he is secretly plotting and making careful plans, and easily manipulates Zhou Wenting into a powerless puppet in the family business.
It can be said that Zhou Qishen is an insurmountable mountain in the protagonist's career. No matter how hard the protagonist tries to climb over it, he still cannot get over it.
Therefore, even though Zhou Qishen has not done anything harmful to the world, he is still regarded by readers as the biggest villain in the book.
At the end of the book, I don’t know if the author suddenly realized that the villain was too powerful for the hero to defeat, or if the author had a preference for Zhou Qishen, so he gave up his position and went to the United States to retire early...
What puzzled Jiang Xiao was that most of Zhou Qishen's roles were in the middle and late stages. Now that Zhou Wenting had not returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Qishen naturally had not appeared yet. He was just a legendary character, so how could he suddenly appear here?
A big boss dropped from the sky. Jiang Xiao was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a while. She moved her lips to say something, but suddenly her eyes went dark and she fainted. Before she completely lost consciousness, she felt a strong arm reaching across her waist and holding her firmly.
