It is now late spring, approaching early summer. The daytime hours are still quite long, and it is already late at dusk. Everyone outside has left work, leaving Qu Lingyuan alone in the office.
"I'm such a poor thing." She lay on the table and stretched again.
In the last world, she wanted to start with the female supporting role but never did so. In this world, she still wanted to fulfill her "last wish".
So the first step is to get close to Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue is a student at Yuncheng University, and it is a bit difficult for Qu Lingyuan, as a company manager, to get close to her.
Just as I was thinking about it, my cell phone rang, and the note on it said "brother".
The only person who could be noted as brother by the original owner was An Jingxuan.
Slowly picking up the phone, Qu Lingyuan's soft voice lazily said, "What's wrong, brother?"
An Jingxuan on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. He always felt that his sister's tone was a little different today, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.
"I brought my girlfriend home today. You didn't see her the last time she came. Come home early this time and have dinner together." An Jingxuan's voice was slow and soft, with a hint of smile, which made people's eardrums feel comfortable.
"......" Qu Lingyuan was silent for a moment, and said "hmm" in a low voice, sounding unhappy.
An Jingxuan seemed to be born with the talent to sense other people's moods, and immediately asked her: "What's wrong with you? You don't seem very happy. Did something happen at the company?"
Qu Lingyuan smiled faintly and said half-jokingly, "No. With my status, what can happen? They either ignore me or dare not pay attention to me..."
She hesitated to speak.
An Jingxuan paused, his tone filled with helplessness: "You are so smart, work hard, and everyone will recognize you."
Qu Lingyuan's tone immediately faded: "I have never been interested in that position. Dad doesn't know, but don't you know?"
The two of them fell silent.
An Jingxuan felt that his sister might have some minor psychological problems, perhaps social phobia. She had the best family background, a pretty face, a perfect figure, and a smart brain, but she was willing to be a lazy person because she didn't like communicating with others.
Someone had told him before that he was an adopted son and had no blood relationship with Qu Lingyuan, so he could be with her.
But when he saw Jiang Xinyue in the few free moments, she was always studying hard, which reminded An Jingxuan of his own sister who was not ambitious.
Jiang Xinyue once said: "I know I'm not smart, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I don't want to give up. Even if I don't have that 1% talent, I still have to put in 99% of the hard work."
At that time, her face full of longing attracted him deeply.
Compared to Qu Lingyuan, he just felt disappointed.
"Okay, aren't you going to take your girlfriend home? I'll go back right away." Qu Lingyuan sighed, wanting to keep things quiet and not wanting to argue with him.
"Well, drive safely on the road."
An Jingxuan didn't nag her anymore. After all, it was her own life, and as an adopted son... it was not convenient for him to interfere.
After hanging up the phone, Qu Lingyuan packed her small belongings into her bag, took her car keys, and took the president's special elevator to the underground parking lot.
Of course she had to go, as this was a good opportunity to get close to Jiang Xinyue.
The elevator used exclusively by the president has an elevator card, which An Jingxuan gave her when she joined the company.
He had originally mentioned going home together after get off work, but the original owner refused.
Although he didn't understand why she refused, he had always been neither restrictive nor indulgent with his sister, so there was no need to interfere in such a harmless matter.
Later, during a meeting, he discovered that Qu Lingyuan would become very nervous when someone stared at her, and he probably understood that she didn't like being stared at.
So it is normal to leave work a little later than others.
After driving in the underground parking lot, Qu Lingyuan hesitated for a moment in the driver's seat. "Tell me... how can I win the favor of the female supporting character? I want to start with Jiang Xinyue. I need to become friends with her first... but I don't think I've ever done this before..."
Yi Ling looked at her blankly: "You don't know anything about this kind of thing, so I don't know anything if you ask me."
Qu Lingyuan gave him a look of disdain: "With you like this, what else can you do after you finish taking care of me and retire? Just to provide for your retirement."
As soon as the words were out, the sadness of parting came over them again, and they both fell silent.
The atmosphere was weird. Qu Lingyuan felt that she was being rude and quickly started the car.
The Qu family is not far from the company, about seven or eight minutes' drive away.
This was not the first time Jiang Xinyue had come to the Qu family. It was a three-story independent villa with a small courtyard. The exterior decoration alone was so luxurious that it was astonishing.
There is a swing under the tree in the yard. It is Qu Lingyuan’s favorite place since childhood.
After all, Jiang Xinyue's family conditions are not good and her vision is limited. Even after being with An Jingxuan for a while, she still has a petty attitude. She was a little nervous to come to such a place and even forgot to change her slippers when she entered the door.
Aunt Wang, the nanny in the villa, was originally going to get her new slippers, but she ended up watching her step on the blanket in a pair of high heels and just stood there in a daze.
When Jiang Xinyue realized what was happening, she was already very embarrassed.
Qu Lingyuan happened to enter the house at this time. When she saw the scene, she knew what was going on. Unfortunately, her wooden brother An Jingxuan was still standing aside indifferently. The contempt in Aunt Wang's eyes could hardly be hidden.
Just as she was planning to get closer to Jiang Xinyue, Qu Lingyuan immediately went over to smooth things over: "Hey, sister-in-law is here? Aunt Wang, why don't you give her slippers?"
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then after receiving a look from Qu Lingyuan, she quickly replied, "Oh, oh, oh, sorry. I'm old and a little confused. Miss Jiang, please change your shoes."
Jiang Xinyue looked at Qu Lingyuan gratefully and went to change her shoes with a blushing face.
Aunt Wang didn't quite understand why her young lady was so partial to Jiang Xinyue, but she couldn't interfere in the master's family's affairs, so she quietly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"My baby Yuanyuan is back!" Chang Yue immediately ran out of the house to the entrance when he heard the voice and gave Qu Lingyuan a big hug, acting like a child more than anyone else.
This is Qu Lingyuan’s mother, her biological mother!
She was a little helpless, hugged Chang Yue back, and pulled her to the sofa in the living room: "Okay, Mom, you're so noisy all day long, isn't Dad annoyed with you?"
Qu Zhian gave her a reproachful look: "Your mother is so cute, I like her so much, why are you bothering her?"
Qu Lingyuan rolled her eyes.
In order to reassure Jiang Xinyue, An Jingxuan even held her hand and walked over, which made Qu Lingyuan, who was standing not far away, feel a sting in her eyes.
This scene is really infuriating. The male protagonist and the supporting female character show their affection in front of the female protagonist. Is this something a human would do?
