Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 14

System was moved: 【Host, you acted really well. You’ve sacrificed so much for the mission.】

After Su Yu’s training, the system became much smarter. In the past, it would have cursed out those three scumbags and comforted the host who had suffered so much injustice.

Now, it could actually see that Su Yu was acting. It was indeed making rapid progress.

Su Yu almost broke character: 【Shut up, don’t affect my performance.】

If you can’t help, then just stay out of it. Su Yu now understood why Gu Yanqing had given her that apple when he was cooking.

Gu Yanqing suddenly sighed lightly, bending down to lift her up and walking out. They passed by the trio who were being held by security guards, faintly hearing a few “brother-in-law”s and curses directed at Su Yu.

He changed his mind, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at the three.

Feeling his movement, Su Yu anxiously gripped the fabric of his shirt against his chest.

The manager had already rushed over. When he saw Gu Yanqing, his heart skipped a beat.

It’s over. The big boss had finally come to eat, and such an incident had happened. Would he, as the manager, be fired?

That’s right, the restaurant Su Yu casually chose happened to be under Gu Yanqing’s name. He even forgot he owned such a restaurant, which showed how extensive his business holdings were.

Gu Yanqing also just remembered this fact.

The manager approached Gu Yanqing nervously, “Mr. Gu, this is my mistake…”

Without looking at him, Gu Yanqing slightly raised his chin, looking at the three people firmly held by the security guards. His voice was cool, “Do you see those three over there?”

The manager was interrupted, stuttering, “Y-yes, I see them.”

The three were the main culprits behind his potential unemployment crisis.

Gu Yanqing said lightly, “Give them a beating.”

The manager thought he misheard, “Ah?”

Gu Yanqing glanced at him and repeated, “Give them a beating, especially that pig head. Just don’t kill anyone. You don’t need to worry about medical expenses or legal teams; I want them to remember today’s lesson. Do you understand?”

Gu Yanqing’s tone was casual, as if he were talking about having steak for lunch.

The manager nodded dumbfoundedly, “Y-yes, understood…”

Gu Yanqing nodded, “Good, you may go.”

With that, he turned and left, holding Su Yu.

Su Yu buried her face in the man’s embrace, her shoulders trembling, on the verge of bursting into laughter.

Inside, Su Yu screamed fanatically: 【Brother Yanqing is so handsome! I have to cheer for Brother Yanqing! He’s a god, rescuing me, this delicate and innocent weak woman, from danger and teaching those bad guys a lesson. There’s no one in the world more handsome and better than Brother Yanqing!】

System rarely agrees: 【Host is right!】

Sensing the movement from the person in his arms, Gu Yanqing paused, whispering softly, “Will you be upset if I have someone beat them up?”

Su Yu bit her lip, shaking her head gently.

The woman’s crying voice came through the tightness in her chest: “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Gu Yanqing lowered his gaze to the top of her head, saying nothing. He walked to the front of the car, gently placing her in the passenger seat before closing the door with a click.

Gu Yanqing didn’t immediately start the car, his arm resting on the steering wheel as he turned to look at Su Yu.

“Why are you apologizing?”

Embarrassed, Su Yu kept her head down, the big waves of her hair messy on her cheeks, hiding her reddened eyes.

“Because… because of my family…”

Gu Yanqing’s voice was cold, “What I mean is, it’s not your fault, so why apologize?”

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, slowly lifting her head to look at him.

Gu Yanqing handed her a tissue, but halfway through, he changed direction, wiping away the tears on her face. It wasn’t gentle, maybe even a bit unfamiliar, but he tried to be gentle.

“I’ve never heard you talk about your family before.”

Gu Yanqing hadn’t asked either, perhaps subconsciously feeling it wasn’t important.

Her family wasn’t important, and neither was she. A woman destined to be separated from him sooner or later wasn’t that important either.

But now, he suddenly wanted to know a little more about her.

At his words, Su Yu’s long eyelashes drooped.

“There’s nothing much to say.”

After a moment of silence, she slowly continued, “My family consists of four people: my parents, my brother, and me.”

Gu Yanqing didn’t say anything, silently watching her, seemingly encouraging her to continue.

Su Yu paused, a pale smile appearing on her lips, “They always favored my younger brother since we were kids. When they saw how pretty I was, they told me to marry a rich man in the future to support my brother.”

Finishing her sentence, she suddenly panicked, hastily explaining, “That’s not what I meant, they said that. I don’t care about that. As long as I can be with you, it’s okay even if you don’t want to marry me…”

Feeling like she was digging herself into a deeper hole, her voice grew smaller, her fingers gripping the leather seat beneath her, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Su Yu’s anxiety and nervousness were laid bare in front of Gu Yanqing.

He closed his eyes, saying softly, “You don’t need to explain all this, I understand.”

Su Yu lowered her head in embarrassment.

The cramped car was filled with an indescribable bitterness.

The car started slowly, the sensation of acceleration coming, and Su Yu adjusted her hair, hiding her expression.

She looked out the window with gloomy eyes.

Even so, he still wouldn’t relent, seeming determined not to marry her.

They were scolded by Su Jiabao and his mother.

During the interval at the traffic light, Gu Yanqing took a quick glance at Su Yu, but his view was blocked by the woman’s loose hair.

He lowered his gaze in thought, is she still crying?

“Don’t cry anymore, it’s not your fault. In the future… you can stay at my place.”

Gu Yanqing didn’t overlook the words of those three people.

Especially Su Jiabao’s last sentence, wanting to kick Su Yu out of the house.

It sounded like she had nowhere else to go.

When they broke up in the future, he would give her that apartment.

Although he never thought of marrying her, the feelings during this period were indeed genuine.

A downtown apartment of over 300 square meters, consider it as a breakup fee.

After a long while, Su Yu nodded slowly, her voice very low, with a nasal tone from crying.

“Yeah.”

Su Yu’s gaze out of the window became even more melancholic.

Having grown up in such an environment since childhood, Su Yu was certainly not a helpless little rabbit that could only cry.

It’s a pity those three people were useless, just repeating those few sentences back and forth. If they were a bit more ruthless, slapped her, maybe Gu Yanqing would feel distressed and impulsively marry her.

Su Yu’s mouth curved up in a mocking smile, laughing at her own wishful thinking.

Following Gu Yanqing had no future, he was always stingy when giving money, only giving a few thousand or tens of thousands like giving alms to beggars, and he even had to deal with the jealousy of the young lady who admired him and her friends. It wasn’t worth it.

Maybe it was time to change targets.

Su Yu tightened her grip on the phone in her hand, thinking of a certain generous playboy lying in her contact list.

Listening to Su Yu’s inner thoughts, the system looked at her with admiration: 【Host, you are truly the most formidable and dedicated task performer I’ve ever seen. You even portrayed the psychological changes of the original owner, very few task performers can reach this level.】

Su Yu, while brewing her emotions, replied: 【Do your job while in your position. It’s the same with performing tasks. Only by truly immersing oneself in the mindset of the original owner, thinking what the original owner thinks, can one avoid being judged as breaking character, otherwise, your points will be deducted.】

The last sentence was the key.

In order to earn these points, Su Yu worked hard.
