Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 4

Su Yu suddenly took an interest in the matter. Reaching out her hand, she took hold of Gu Yanqing’s sleeve and tugged on it. “Can you take me with you? I also want to see what a birthday banquet is like.”

People often say that what one cannot obtain in youth will torment them for life.

Su Yu hadn’t reached that point yet, but seeing others hold out celebrations for their birthdays always made her curious. It reminded her of those girls who grew up in a loving environment. They seemed to be her complete polar opposites. Even if they were angry, they were able to retain the clarity and innocence in their eyes.

The system suddenly chimed in:【Host, let me remind you that you have just offended the female lead earlier. If you blatantly follow the male lead and accompany him to her birthday party, you’re not just provoking her anymore. You’re basically rubbing her face on the ground.】

Of course, Su Yu was aware of that.【That’s why I’m personally delivering myself to her doorsteps to give her a chance to vent.】

The system couldn’t understand.【Huh?】

Su Yu brushed it off. 【Even if I explain, you probably won’t get it. Just be a good system, and mind your own business. It’s better for you not to meddle in worldly matters.】

After shrugging off the system with her matters, Su Yu looked expectantly at Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing didn’t really intend to take her with him. But just as the words of refusal were lingering on the tip of his tongue, he was suddenly reminded of her expression earlier. There was a look of regret and envy when she talked about these birthday matters.

“Okay.”

Gu Yanqing didn’t know why he suddenly changed his mind. Maybe it was a moment of softness.

Su Yu was surprised herself. He actually immediately agreed?

She thought it would take a lot of time to coax him.

“Thank you, Brother Yanqing… Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu is really kind~”

Su Yu’s voice was affectionate and gentle as she expressed her thanks to him before following it with an overly sweet kiss.

To the system’s astonishment, the male lead seemed to quite enjoy it.

This woman was obviously full of pretentiousness and insincerity, but he unexpectedly accepted her well. He was truly worthy of his role as a male lead, with his strong capacity for acceptance and possessing a unique taste that was different from others.

For quite some time after that, Su Yu refrained from misbehaving, only staying quiet to herself. She didn’t even dare disturb Gu Yanqing from his work at all. But sometimes, she would also occasionally help him by taking some of his documents downstairs. One could say that at that time, she was obedient to an unbelievable degree.

However, Gu Yanqing was not deceived by this illusion at all. This was Su Yu’s usual trick. Give her some money, and she will behave for a long time. Now, she was probably doing this in consideration of the money he had transferred to her before.

The clock’s hands continued to tick away.

Despite work hours being nearly over, Su Yu continued to remain on the sofa, unabashedly playing mobile games right under the nose of her superior.

If it were anyone else, they would have been fired hundreds of times over.

Exaggerated sound effects recklessly ran rampant across the quiet office, showing no restraint as they echoed through.

Gu Yanqing frowned. Turning to look at the arrogant woman resting on his sofa, he dictated, with his voice slightly cold, “Su Yu, turn off the sound.”

Slightly blinking her fox-like eyes, Su Yu glanced at the time before reluctantly exiting the game. She then shifted her position a little later, making herself sit up from her reclined pose. Her eyes were seductive and alluring throughout this series of movements.

The sound effects eventually died down. However, it didn’t take too long for the silence to remain as the woman’s coquettish voice rang out in the next moment.

“Mr Gu, it’s almost time to get off work. Will you still be able to keep your promise to me?”

Gu Yanqing asked: “What promise?”

Su Yu’s voice was ambiguous as she replied, “You asked knowingly. Of course, it’s about tonight, inviting me to your place…”

Speaking of this matter, Gu Yanqing suddenly remembered something.

“Didn’t you say earlier that you found my bed mattress a bit too hard?” he asked.

Su Yu: “…”

She only said those words earlier, in a moment of casually teasing people. Why would this man still choose to remember it in his heart?

Su Yu pretended to be clueless. “Ah… When did I say such a thing? Why can’t I remember?”

The man gave her a light glance and chuckled.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Gu Yanqing temporarily let Su Yu go for the time being. Glancing at the caller’s ID, he hesitated for a moment before finally pressing the answer button.

“Hello, Mom.”

Su Yu raised her eyebrows. Was the male lead’s mother in the other line?

In the original plot, the male lead’s mother played a great role in the development of the relationship between the male and female leads. In her eyes, she could only recognize the female lead as her daughter-in-law because she saw the other women as nothing but seductive and cheap temptresses who were only trying to lure her son in.

By the way, she was also the one who got rid of the original owner of this body.

However, she didn’t expect the original owner to target her other offspring after leaving her son. Fortunately for her, the relationship didn’t last long because her other son had sharp eyes and was quick to kick the original host after discovering her history with his other brother.

She didn’t know what was said on the other end of the line. She could only see Gu Yanqing hesitating for two seconds before saying, “Got it.”

After ending the call, he looked at Su Yu. “I have something to do tonight. You can go back by yourself.”

Su Yu was taken aback, a little unhappy. “But you promised me.”

Gu Yanqing had always been aware of Su Yu’s capability to stir up trouble. In addition, her ability to distort ideas and meanings to her advantage was unmatched by anyone else.

He countered, “How come I don’t remember promising you?”

Right, his response at the time was “We’ll see.”

Su Yu felt annoyed. Her beautiful and captivating eyes dimmed, seeming to express her extreme disappointment.

This reaction…

Gu Yanqing obviously misunderstood.

His gaze darkened slightly. Was this woman so desperate? Couldn’t she wait at all? Shameless.

In fact—

Su Yu wailed in her heart:【I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to wash the dishes. I don’t want to face that woman—】

The system consoled her:【Hang in there a little longer, Host. This world will be over soon. When this is over, I’ll definitely choose a character for you in the next world who doesn’t have to wash dishes.】

This world will be over soon…

Looking at the indifferent male lead and at the progress bar that was still far off from accomplishing the task, Su Yu felt like breaking down.

Su Yu pulled the corners of her mouth:【Thank you.】

…

At the Gu’s house, in the living room.

Mother Gu sat next to Gu Yanqing as she was peeling an apple. Suddenly, she casually asked a question, “Yanqing, is it true that you’re still with that little secretary?”

Gu Yanqing’s body stiffened. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Not denying was akin to admitting, making Mother Gu’s heart sink.

“Earlier today, I went to your Aunt Shen’s house. By chance, I happened to come across Qingqing who was terribly crying with red eyes. Of course, I have to ask what happened; and I did find out what happened. Son, what did you actually see in that woman?”

While mentioning Su Yu, Mother Gu’s face expressed disgust. ​​”I have told you before that playing around is fine, but don’t make it public. Not only do you fool around with that little secretary, but you also make it known to everyone in the company. You have no restraint at all. In my opinion, it’s that woman who’s leading you astray.”

She coldly snorted. “I’m setting it straight today. The daughter-in-law of our Gu family can only be Qingqing. Other women who are neither good nor proper enough should just be sent away with some money. If I see them being an impediment to your marriage affairs, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Gu Yanqing frowned. “Mom, please don’t interfere in this matter. I know what I’m doing.”

Originally, it was just for fun. That kind of woman indeed wasn’t qualified to be the mistress of the Gu family. Gu Yanqing used to think this way. However, hearing his mother speak ill of Su Yu today made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

“Also, I’ve always seen Qingqing as a younger sister. In my eyes, she’s just a child. Please don’t talk about these daughter-in-law matters between us in the future. There is absolutely no chance that there is going to be something between us.”

After saying that, he added, “Of course, if my older brother is willing, then I have no objection.”

Hearing this, Mother Gu was furious: “What nonsense are you talking about? Qingqing has always liked you. What does it have to do with your older brother? I think you’ve been bewitched by some vixen outside.”

“Anyway, you better deal with that little secretary sooner rather than later, and don’t parade her around in the company anymore. It’s important that she remains a secret, and no one from the outside knows about this matter. It’s not good for your reputation if this ever gets disclosed.”

Gu Yanqing only repeated his words from earlier: “Mom, I know what I’m doing.”

Realizing what he was thinking, Gu Yanqing felt his heart skip a beat.
