Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 30

Su Yu believed that what she said was from the bottom of her heart.

However, when the man finished listening, he showed no sign of being moved. Not only that, his gaze even grew colder, and the temperature around them dropped several degrees, causing the air to freeze.

Su Yu couldn’t help but shiver.

The man’s voice was so heavy it could drip with water: “You just said… you were with me only for money?”

“…”

Su Yu shrunk her shoulders in fear.

She retorted stubbornly, “I said more than that. Are you still being unreasonable?”

Was that the main point? The main point was to let me go!

Gu Yanqing’s gaze was heavy. “That’s the only thing I care about.”

Su Yu: “…”

Su Yu gave up and said bitterly:, “Yes, I was with you for money, solely for money. I don’t like you at all.”

“Not only that, I also hate you. You’re cold and boring, insensitive, not considerate at all. You were making fun of me from the beginning, laughing at me in your heart. You are even worse than Gu Yanbei.  I hate you! I hate you the most! Are you satisfied now?”

 After venting her desperate thoughts, Su Yu closed her eyes.

The next moment, she trembled and surrendered, “If you want to hit me, can you please be gentle? I’m afraid of pain.”

The system: 【…】

Gu Yanqing: “…”

Gu Yanqing took a deep breath, his temples throbbing.

Su Yu seemed to have a miraculous ability to utter a sentence that extinguished all anger when someone was infuriated to the extreme.

In the end, Su Yu wasn’t beaten.

Just spent a day without getting out of bed.

The man fiercely nibbled on her lips as if he wanted to devour her, his voice intertwining with his breath: “It’s a pity. From now on, you’ll only be entangled with someone you hate for the rest of your life.”

After saying that, he kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

The system silently shed tears in the dark room: 【Hurry up, it’s so dark here, I’m scared…】

…

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the engagement.

At night, Gu Yanqing didn’t return to the villa.

Thinking about it, the engagement is tomorrow. If he came here tonight, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to both the Gu and Shen families?

Su Yu lay bored on the bed, listening to the system broadcasting gossip from the servants to pass the time.

Who took a pound of abalone from the kitchen, whose granddaughter ranked first in the exam today, whose son lost his job and so on…

But as they chatted, the topic gradually shifted.

Suddenly, a servant’s voice lowered: “What’s the relationship between the woman in the villa and Mr. Gu?”

Another person glanced at her and said, “What else could it be? Just that little affair.”

“But I heard Mr. Gu is getting engaged. Will he still keep this woman around?”

The crowd began to chatter.

“Rich people are all like this. They have the red flag at home while enjoying the colorful ones outside. Miss Su is so beautiful, Mr. Gu definitely won’t bear to let her go.”

“That’s true.”

Someone sighed, “If you ask me, this girl is quite pitiful. She can’t run away, can’t escape. It was okay before, but now that Mr. Gu is getting engaged, I don’t know what kind of temper his future wife has. If she finds out about this, will she come and cause trouble?”

“Such a sin.”

“I heard the fiancée is Miss Shen from the Shen family. I’ve met Miss Shen before, she’s nice, but a bit spoiled. If she finds out about this, this girl won’t have an easy time.”

For a moment, everyone felt a pang of sympathy.

“But…” someone suddenly spoke up, “I’ve noticed something strange.”

“What strange thing?”

“You see, this engagement is supposed to involve both families, but the Gu family and the Shen family have never officially announced it. Mr. Gu hasn’t responded either, it’s all the media making a big deal out of it.”

Su Yu felt something was wrong as she listened. Why did she eat melon? [1]

【Stop listening, stop listening. I’m not listening anymore.】

Su Yu buried her face in the blanket and asked the system,【How far along is the mission? 】

The system looked at the progress bar that hadn’t moved at all and began to doubt its existence.

It stammered: 【It’s, it’s almost… there?】

Su Yu asked: 【How much is almost?】

The system’s tone was not confident:【Ninety percent?】

Ninety percent. Su Yu counted on her fingers and estimated that it would be over after the engagement tomorrow.

Her mood instantly brightened.

With hopeful anticipation, Su Yu drifted into dreamland.

However, early the next morning.

Su Yu felt herself being lifted from the bed while half asleep. She was pressed onto a chair, and a group of people started to apply makeup on her face. Her hair was let down and styled with a beautiful crown hairpin.

Su Yu was startled awake, “W-who are you?”

Each person focused on their task, ignoring her question.

Su Yu, uncooperative, tried to avoid them, “Who are you people, and what are you doing? Where’s Gu Yanqing?”

This was Gu Yanqing’s territory. These people must have been instructed by him.

After a brief silence, a makeup artist explained, “Don’t worry, madam, we are a professional team with a business license. Mr. Gu asked us to come and do your makeup. As for the rest… we don’t know.”

Su Yu frowned, wondering what Gu Yanqing was up to.

Like a doll being manipulated, she was dressed in a sparkling gown, crystal high heels, and then escorted into a flashy luxury car.

Su Yu looked confused.

It wasn’t until the car slowly stopped outside a luxurious hotel, and the door was opened by a waiter.

Gu Yanqing looked distant and aloof, dressed in elegance, with soft eyes. He reached out to Su Yu.

“Su Yu.”

Su Yu stared blankly as she placed her hand in his, being gently pulled up, her head carefully protected as she stepped out of the car.

Uneasy, Su Yu asked, “Where… where is this? What’s going on? What are you going to do?”

Hearing her questions, Gu Yanqing’s lips curled up slightly, not answering directly but bringing up another matter.

He said softly, “You asked me before if I was willing to marry you.”

Su Yu pursed her lips and nodded.

At that time, he didn’t answer, just implying that she shouldn’t daydream.

Navigating through the oddly tense atmosphere of the guests, she met Gu Yanbei’s eyes in a panic.

After not seeing her for a long time, Gu Yanbei looked tired. He took a deep look at her and turned away.

Mr. Gu showed no emotion, and Mrs. Gu’s smile seemed forced.

Shen Qingqing was absent, but her friends were gathered together, looking at Su Yu with envy and disapproval.

Su Yu was pulled onto the stage by Gu Yanqing with a confused look on her face.

Standing in front of everyone, cameras flashing at them.

Gu Yanqing said slowly: “Then, my answer is, yes.”

“Welcome to our engagement party, Su Yu.”

In an instant, Su Yu’s ears buzzed, and all the noise faded away. The gorgeous banquet hall faded and turned pale like an ink painting. Only the man in front of her was smiling and shining.

【Tasker Su Yu, System Number #233, Mission failed. 】

The cold mechanical voice announced the failure of this task.

Su Yu was stunned, “???”

Can someone tell her why this happened?!

The system was also stunned, “!!!”

Did the program really not malfunction?!
