Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 18

Su Yu trembled as she clung to Gu Yanqing, unconsciously exerting more force. Anxiously, she asked, “Yanqing, where are we going… I’m a bit scared.”

Gu Yanqing reassured her in a gentle tone, “Scared of what? If you haven’t done anything wrong, there’s nothing to fear.”

His voice was gentle, but it made Su Yu feel uneasy all over.

With a serious expression, Su Yu said, 【I suspect he’s mocking me.】

The system replied, 【No need to suspect, he’s definitely mocking you.】

Su Yu sniffled.

“Do you think so?” Gu Yanqing asked gently.

Su Yu’s expression was unnatural as she lowered her head, pretending to adjust her bangs to avoid his gaze. “Y-Yes.”

But she didn’t notice Gu Yanqing’s eyes growing darker and deeper.

The long yet brief journey ended, and the two stood outside a luxurious private room. The soundproofing of the room was excellent; not a single sound could be heard from outside the door.

For the first time, Su Yu hated the person who made soundproofing materials.

She trembled and asked anxiously, 【What should I do? I feel like the male lead wants to kill me. System, quickly investigate what’s inside the door. What if it’s a dark interrogation room with a dozen burly men wielding maces, waiting for me to enter and beat me to death?】

The system comforted Su Yu, 【Host, don’t worry, the system will activate pain suppression when necessary.】

As it probed the situation inside the room, it suddenly fell silent.

Su Yu urged, 【Say something! What’s inside?】

After a long silence, the system’s voice became heavy.

【Host, my condolences.】

Just as it finished speaking, it quickly corrected itself, 【No, that’s not right, condolences are not appropriate here. I should say, take care, Host.】

Su Yu:【!!!】

The door in front of her slowly opened, Su Yu’s heart raced, and she clung to Gu Yanqing’s arm tighter and tighter. In the next moment, she was about to close her eyes and face death.

A soft and pleasant pop song sounded in her ears.

“Brother Yanqing is here!” Shen Qingqing’s voice was excited, but when she saw Su Yu, her face fell. “Why is that woman here too?”

This voice was all too familiar to Su Yu.

???

Before Su Yu could close her eyes, the scene inside the room came into view.

There was no dark interrogation room, no burly men, and no bloody batons. Instead, it was a perfectly normal luxurious private room.

Glancing around, she saw Shen Qingqing, Gu Yanbei, several men and women she had seen at previous gatherings, the five people who had served her drinks, as well as several other well-dressed individuals she didn’t recognize.

Su Yu was momentarily bewildered, being led in by Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing glanced at the bewildered Su Yu, a fleeting smile in his eyes.

He really wanted to know what Su Yu had imagined before coming here. She had been nervous all the way, making it difficult to ignore.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and the smile vanished, replaced by deep, dark eyes.

Maybe… there really was something fishy going on.

Su Yu only then realized that the system had been deceiving her and angrily demanded, 【System! Come out and explain!】

The system chuckled, 【I’ve already said that the male lead is a law-abiding, kind, and upright citizen. It serves you right for not believing me and getting deceived.】

Su Yu gritted her teeth, 【Fine, just you wait.】

Shen Qingqing came over, pushing Su Yu aside, and circled around Gu Yanqing, her face unable to hide her happiness.

“Brother Yanqing, I thought you weren’t coming.” She shooed away the person in the middle of the sofa. “Brother Yanqing, sit here. I saved this seat just for you.”

The person pushed to the side muttered, “…”

Consider his feelings, maybe?

Someone joked, “Oh, Brother Yanqing, now that you’re here, Qingqing can’t take her eyes off you. She wasn’t like this with us before.”

Shen Qingqing blushed and stomped her foot. “What are you talking about?”

She poured a glass of wine for Gu Yanqing. “Brother Yanqing, have some wine, ignore them.”

Someone cheered, “One glass isn’t enough, Brother Yanqing came late, he should drink three as punishment.”

“Yeah, today is a celebration for Qingqing winning first place in the violin competition. Since Brother Yanqing is late, he should accept the punishment.”

Shen Qingqing defended, “Stop teasing, I don’t mind.”

Then, she shyly looked at Gu Yanqing. “Brother Yanqing, drink as much as you want, don’t listen to them.”

A chorus of uninteresting cries.

But Gu Yanqing remained ungrateful, just faintly smiling. “I’m late, so I should be punished.”

With that, he downed three glasses of wine one after another, with no change in expression.

Shen Qingqing’s gaze dropped, but she quickly perked up again. “Does Brother Yanqing want to eat something?”

“Ah—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly bumped into, stumbling for a moment. Thankfully, Gu Yanqing reached out in time to prevent her from falling flat on her face.

Once she regained her balance, Shen Qingqing turned around angrily to see who had pushed her, only to meet a pair of eyes that were both innocent and smug.

The innocence was fake, but the smugness was real.

Su Yu blinked. “Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Shen Qingqing had never encountered such a shameless person before.

She clenched her fists. If she hadn’t been worried about Gu Yanqing, she would have slapped him away.

Su Yu added fuel to the fire, “Could you move aside? I want to sit next to Brother Yanqing, and you’re blocking the way.”

At the same time, she explained why she had bumped into her earlier.

Shen Qingqing: “…”

Taking a deep breath, she told herself to calm down and not fall into that woman’s trap and let Brother Yan Qing see her unladylike side.

Shen Qingqing’s face was cold, and she directly occupied the only position beside Gu Yanyan. She raised her head arrogantly, even though she was looking up from below, her back was still straight.

Her graceful and proud posture made Su Yu seem like a maid.

If there were maids as beautiful as her.

“Sorry, there’s no more space here, go over there.”

Shen Qingqing gestured to the edge, where a few women dressed provocatively and vulgarly were crowded together, presumably the “staff” of the club.

Naked humiliation.

The onlookers wore expressions of curiosity, not intervening in the dispute between the two women, but their gazes towards Su Yu couldn’t help but carry a mixture of scrutiny, disdain, and restrained desire.

The woman in the red dress hugged her curvaceous figure, her waist so slender it seemed it could snap with a pinch. Her eyes seemed to speak, both charming and innocent, her innocent expression endearing.

No wonder Gu Yanqing wasn’t interested in Shen Qingqing. With such a beauty by his side, other women naturally paled in comparison.

Su Yu bit her lip, looking at Gu Yanqing with a sense of grievance.

Gu Yanqing furrowed his brows slightly, about to say something, but his gaze paused, catching a fleeting trace of cunning in Su Yu’s eyes.

He suddenly relaxed, wanting to see what Su Yu would do.

Everyone was watching Su Yu’s embarrassment, the choice between the lady and the plaything was clear at a glance, and no one was helping her.

Gu Yanbei was amused.

See, his good little brother was so indifferent. One moment, he was a confidant, the next moment, he could watch you being bullied with cold eyes. For such a girl who brought trouble upon herself, it wasn’t too late for her to make the right choice now.

He waited for Su Yu to beg him.
