Chapter 8: The Overbearing Boss's Runaway Bride (Part 7)



"Miss, you are finally back. Master Jiang has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time!"

The butler saw Sophie's car driving into the gate from the window and immediately stepped forward to inform her.

"Why is he here?"

Sophie stroked her fake mustache unhappily.

"Oh, my lady, why did you secretly go to the masquerade ball again? You should go upstairs and change your clothes and put on your makeup before coming down. I will hold Young Master Jiang steady for you first!"

The housekeeper knew how important Young Master Jiang was to his young lady, so he considerately covered for her.

"Hey, Uncle Wu!..."

Watching the butler running away, Sophie lowered her raised hand weakly.

Is this really the speed a sixty-year-old man should be moving at?

Besides, it’s just a mission target, why do you need to dress up?

Sophie pulled open the makeup mirror on the sunshade and ripped off the fake mustache. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded from under her baseball cap, revealing a charming and elegant face hidden beneath the brim.

I have to admit that although Jiang Ying has a vicious mind, her face is unparalleled in appearance.

Sophie casually scratched her hair a few times, reached out and grabbed the vest on the back seat, put it on, then pushed the door and got out of the car.

In the hall, Jiang Yichen sat expressionlessly on the leather sofa, waiting for Jiang Ying's arrival.

After not seeing her for a few days, this woman's attitude has become even more arrogant.

She didn't reply to text messages, didn't answer the phone, and now she wants him to come to her house in person?

As anger was surging, a beautiful figure slowly walked in from the door.

Unlike his usual vulgar attire, a look of astonishment unconsciously flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes.

[Ding! Successfully caught the male protagonist's attention. Your aesthetics match his taste. Beauty value +20, Favorability +10.]

Sophie almost vomited blood.

Why does the hero not love the heroine but blindly show affection to her?

Haha, what a scumbag.

"Jiang Ying, are you willing to come back?"

The male protagonist's stern questioning voice rang into Sophie's ears. She looked at him with contempt and pretended to be surprised.

"Oh, I was wondering why I saw a magpie announcing good news so early this morning. It turns out that Young Master Jiang has arrived. What a rare guest. Uncle Wu, why don't you quickly ask someone to get Young Master Jiang a cup of tea? It's already cold, isn't it?"

Sophie raised her hand and beckoned the maid beside her, and her every gesture was polite.

Jiang Yichen half-closed his eyes and observed her every move calmly.

In the past, Jiang Ying would have called Yichen "Brother" all the time. Why was she being so cold and polite today? Was she playing some kind of hard-to-get-it-right tactic with him?

[Ding! The male protagonist feels disgusted, and his favorability level drops by -10.]

Sophie reached out and took the teacup handed to her by the maid without any concern.

"I wonder why Young Master Jiang has come here tonight? I thought I had made my point clear enough during the day."

She raised her eyes without hesitation and looked directly into the male protagonist's cold gaze, with the corners of her narrow eyes slightly raised.

Jiang Yichen's throat tightened and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

This woman actually took the initiative to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement?

"The marriage between the Jiang and Jiang families is of great importance. How can you easily back out of it? I came here this time to tell you that the engagement will proceed as usual."

After saying that, Jiang Yichen walked out of the Jiang family's gate without looking back.

Good god, the hero is clearly planning to use her as a pawn. On the surface, he wants to get engaged to her, but in reality, he is using this engagement as an excuse to make the heroine jealous and change her mind.

Although the plan was a bit old-fashioned, it was exactly what she wanted!

Sophie's eyes curved into crescents.

The new data sheet will be presented on time at 22:00.

Name: Sophie

Truthfulness: -55

Kindness value: -144

Beauty value: 129

Total: -70

Looking at the rising numbers, Sophie felt a little hope in her heart.

As long as she completes the 400-point task at hand, she can not only have a positive income but also make a fortune!

Sophie happily planned her plans for after rebirth, and her dreams were filled with scenes of her pressing Princess Leah to the ground and rubbing her repeatedly.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the slits in the curtains onto Sophie's eyelids. She stretched herself lazily and got out of bed with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

While squeezing toothpaste and washing her face, she carefully considered the plot in her mind.

In the original plot, the hero successfully rescues the heroine, and their relationship quickly blossoms. However, Jiang Ying's sudden arrival and sarcastic remarks cause a rift between the hero and the hero. Unable to bear the torment, the heroine initiates a breakup. This roughly aligns with what's happening now.

However, in the original plot, the male protagonist never contacted Jiang Ying, let alone personally visited her at Jiang's house. Their engagement was postponed indefinitely after the breakup, but now it has gone ahead as planned.

Doesn't that mean their engagement ceremony will be in three days?

Sophie spit out the toothpaste foam from her mouth, and there was a hint of light in her amber eyes.

She had to take advantage of these three days to earn some extra points to contribute to her rebirth!

Now that the main storyline of the male and female protagonists is still going on, there is naturally no reason for Jiang Ying to stop her journey as the vicious female supporting role.

In the play, Jiang Ying is a typical domineering rich girl, and she has offended many people because of this. Viciousness has become a label that she can never get rid of until her death.

What Sophie planned to do next was to clear Jiang Ying’s viciousness.

As long as we avoid the vicious events that have happened in the plots and send sincere love to this beautiful world, the kindness value will come rolling in.

Sophie went out with great confidence, and the first place she went to was the cook's house.

In the original storyline, Jiang Ying, upon discovering that the cook had secretly taken food from the Jiang family kitchen to give to her sick youngest son, scolded her and kicked her out. Without a source of income, the cook could not afford the expensive medical bills, and her youngest son died of the sudden illness a few days later.

Although Aunt Wang had unfortunately been kicked out of the house at this moment, her youngest son Qingqing was still alive.

There is still time for everything.

Sophie raised her hand and knocked on the closed wooden door of the rental house in front of her.

"Who?"

A haggard face peeked through the crack in the door.

"Hello, Aunt Wang, I'm Jiang Ying."

Sophie put on what she thought was a warm smile, but in Aunt Wang's eyes, she looked like a demon. She was horrified, and her originally sallow face instantly turned as pale as paper.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

She spoke in a trembling voice, wary of Sophie's arrival.

Sophie looked through the crack in the door into the narrow space inside the house. The thin Qingqing was sitting on the ground playing with the snowflake building blocks in her hand.

"Aunt Wang, I heard from Uncle Wu that Qingqing was sick, so I came to visit him."

Sophie handed over the fruit basket in her hand and stated her purpose.

"No need, Miss Jiang. Our room is small and dirty. You won't have anywhere to sit after you come in, and your shoes will get dirty."

Aunt Wang politely declined Sophie's kindness.
