Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 9

“Pull up the surveillance footage,” said Gu Yanqing coldly.

Then, as Su Yu stretched out her hand, he bent down, his elbow passing through her bent legs, and he lifted her horizontally.

Su Yu was like a small beast seeking refuge from being bullied, pitifully resting her head on his chest, her arms like vines wrapping around his neck, her beautiful eyes filled with mist, stirring up pity in others.

How long had it been since she left, and she was already bullied like this.

Gu Yanqing adjusted his posture slightly to make her more comfortable, then glanced lightly at the woman in his arms.

Where did that arrogance go when faced with him earlier?

Shen Qingqing wiped away her tears and came out to see this chaotic scene. She frowned and walked over, just in time to see Gu Yanqing lifting up the woman, no longer as indifferent and distant as before, but gentle as if he had changed into a different person.

Her breathing paused, her heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.

“What happened?”

She forced herself to walk over. Today was her birthday, and regardless of whether it had anything to do with her, as the host, she had to take responsibility.

Through the explanations of the others, Shen Qingqing gradually pieced together the whole story.

Her gaze moved away from Gu Yanqing and fell on the man writhing in pain on the ground.

She then glanced at the five sisters who usually got along well, now looking nervous and guilty in the corner.

Shen Qingqing’s heart sank.

Her eyes slightly reddened, she suppressed her aversion to Su Yu and looked at Gu Yanqing, who was cold and stern. “Brother Yanching, don’t worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Gu Yanqing nodded lightly.

The person in his arms, restless after drinking, twisted around. Her slender fingers climbed from his neck upwards, then grabbed his ear, seemingly dissatisfied that his attention was taken away by someone else, domineering and selfish.

Gu Yanqing uncomfortably dodged, “Let go.”

“No!”

Su Yu not only didn’t let go, but became even more aggressive. With a drunken expression on her face, she revealed a cunning and foolish smile.

Gu Yanqing pursed his lips and said nothing, directly loosening his grip as if to throw her down, scaring the woman into quickly letting go of his ear and instead embracing his neck for a sense of security.

Having no ability yet always causing trouble, if no one protects her, she’ll end up falling into a pit sooner or later.

Who knows what kind of parents raised such a temperamental Su Yu.

Su Yu said slowly, “You’re naughty too!”

Gu Yanqing lowered his head, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, drawing out a subtle and imperceptible smile.

The affectionate display of the two pierced Shen Qingqing’s heart like a thorn. She turned her face away, her mother’s words floating into her mind.

These two are not a match, and they won’t last long. She just needs to wait.

The people from the Shen family moved quickly, and the surveillance footage was pulled up.

The five people who had previously confronted Su Yu were a bit panicked. “What should we do if Gu Yanqing finds out?”

“Don’t worry, we chose a place specifically avoiding surveillance. Even if they investigate, they won’t find anything.”

One person scowled, “Is it worth going to such lengths for just a little secretary? Gu Yanqing is really something. Clearly, he brought her here himself, and we just wanted to vent for Qingqing. He’s digging so deep into this, completely ignoring our past relationship. What kind of love potion did this woman give him?”

Indeed, as they suspected, the surveillance footage only captured the figures of Su Yu and Gu Yanqing. They didn’t know what was said, but then Su Yu hurriedly left and disappeared from the frame.

After that, she returned, drunk and stumbling.

The woman’s appearance was extremely beautiful, and after getting drunk, every move she made was even more charming and seductive, her eyes misty as if hiding hooks, unconsciously drawing people’s gaze.

Someone sneered, “What’s there to investigate? Maybe she couldn’t bear the loneliness and got drunk herself…”

As they spoke, their voices gradually grew quieter.

Gu Yanqing raised his eyes, his gaze like the unchanging frost on a mountaintop, not sharp, even calm, yet inexplicably causing people’s hearts to tremble.

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Gu Yanbei timely stepped forward to explain: “It’s none of my business. I was just curious about your relationship. I only talked to her for a bit, didn’t bully her.”

Thinking about what he said, Gu Yanbei coughed lightly twice. That didn’t count as bullying. It was consensual; if she didn’t want to hear it, she could have pretended not to.

The person who touched Su Yu’s leg was also kicked and hit. He was still lying on the ground howling.

The most pitiful one was him. He didn’t even touch her, but got beaten for no reason. With Gu Yanqing’s means, it was obviously impossible to retaliate. He could only swallow this loss.

Gu Yanqing looked coldly at the monitor. After Su Yu disappeared, the five people who disappeared in the same direction followed closely. He glanced lightly and said nothing.

Shen Qingqing was nervous: “Brother Yannan…”

Gu Yanqing withdrew his gaze, slightly tightened his arms to prevent the restless person in his arms from falling, and said to Shen Qingqing, “Sorry, Su Yu is drunk. I’ll take her back first. The gift is left to the housekeeper. Have fun.”

After speaking, he remembered something and added, “Happy birthday.”

It wasn’t even midnight yet, and the cake hadn’t been cut. Gu Yanqing left the Shen family with the person in his arms. Shen Qingqing’s birthday banquet was disrupted, completely ruining the previous relaxed and happy atmosphere.

It can be said that Su Yu trampled on Shen Qingqing’s face and became famous in one battle [1].

The system worried: 【Oh no, host, you’ve really offended the female lead this time.】

Su Yu was silent for a long time.

【Offend if I offend. Which evil female lead doesn’t harbor some hatred?】

The system was close to tears: 【[You didn’t say that before.】

Before, the host vowed to send herself to the female lead to vent her anger and make her feel better.

Su Yu was embarrassed:【…】

She didn’t expect Gu Yanqing to go this far for her. Originally in her plan, Gu Yanqing would definitely care more about the little sister he had grown up with than this lover of less than two months.

In order not to ruin her little sister’s birthday banquet, she could only let this unimportant lover suffer a little loss and compensate him later.

Didn’t expect…

【Be optimistic. At least now the progress bar of the mission has advanced by more than half, and the male lead’s affection for me is a bit more than I imagined.】

The system could only console itself like this.

I hope there won’t be any accidents later, and the male and female leads can be together smoothly.

Drunk Su Yu was very obedient, neither yelling nor going crazy with alcohol. She curled up in the back seat with her legs curled up, no longer showing her arrogant and noisy appearance, like a soft cotton ball, taking a long time to respond when called.

“Su Yu, can you hear me?”

Su Yu slowly raised her head and said slowly, “I’m broke.”

Gu Yanqing was stunned.

Su Yu buried her head in her arms: “I’m really broke, I’m so poor, I don’t have a penny.”

Gu Yanqing pursed his lips, thought for a moment, took out his phone and transferred fifty thousand to Su Yu, considering it as compensation for the grievances she suffered today.

After doing all this, his probing gaze fell on the woman.

Was she really drunk or pretending? Who was she talking to? Or was it just for money?

When he returned home, it was already dark.

Gu Yanqing put the person on the bed, and as he got up, his movements paused. With her arms entangled around him, she hooked his neck and didn’t let go.

Su Yu’s eyes slightly opened, staring at him without blinking, as if recognizing his appearance.

After a moment, she furrowed her eyebrows, and her voice was softer and more coquettish than before: “President Gu, your bed is so soft.”

Gu Yanqing’s movements paused slightly.

He had a good memory. This sentence seemed to be what she said the first time she brought Su Yu back.

So, what would she say next?

“Can I be the hostess tonight?”

Drunk but can’t change her frivolous and indulgent nature. The previous obedience was all pretense; she couldn’t keep it up for long before everything was exposed.

So eager?

Gu Yanqing looked at the woman on the bed, feeling that something was out of control.

Such a woman, one who was completely opposite to the values and education he had received for more than twenty years, seemed like a seed, attempting to take root in his heart. One frown and one smile [2] easily stirs his heartstrings.

Gu Yanqing pretended to be indifferent: “No.”

The woman was aggrieved: “Then who can? Shen Qingqing, your little sister?”

Gu Yanqing didn’t say anything. He directly pulled over the nearby blanket, precisely covering the person who was talking nonsense after getting drunk, perfectly muffling the voice, out of sight, out of mind.

Su Yu: “…”

【[Is he not willing?!】

System:【Whether the male lead is willing or not, don’t you already know?】

Su Yu: 【Oh, right, then why is he unwilling? Could it be that my beautiful appearance no longer captivates him? It seems it’s time to let him know about my interesting soul.】

The system couldn’t stand her and smiled: 【I suggest not to. It’s easy to scare away the male lead.】

Su Yu: 【You’re jealous, aren’t you?! Your ugly face disgusts me! Despicable!】

System: 【…】

Is it still possible to apply for a change of host now?

…

The next day.

The cold light of day seeped in through the thin silk curtains.

Su Yu’s eyelids twitched, and she groggily opened her eyes, only to see the sexy Adam’s apple of the man. With a slight movement of her hand, she inadvertently touched his muscular arm with distinct contours.

She subconsciously counted, six-pack abs.

The man’s eyes had a hint of blue, as if half-awake, he grabbed her hand, his voice filled with fatigue: “Don’t move.”

Su Yu was surprised: 【System, is the male lead so exhausted, did he go kill someone last night?】

The system was speechless: 【Could you not wish ill on the male lead?】

After speaking, it threw over a video clip: 【See for yourself.】

In the video, Su Yu saw herself, as well as the male lead.

It was from last night.

She fell asleep, and so did the male lead.

And then…

She lay on the male lead’s chest, and the male lead frowned, finally waking up out of breath.

She rested her head on the male lead’s arm, and the male lead was awakened by the numbness.

She had a nightmare, kicked her feet, and the male lead was awakened by the kick.

She curled up with the blanket, the air conditioning set to twenty-four degrees, and the male lead was awakened by the cold.

Finally, the male lead couldn’t take it anymore, and firmly held her in his arms to prevent her from moving, barely falling asleep again.

Su Yu blinked her eyes, nonchalantly closed the video. The evildoer files the complaint first [3]: 【Doesn’t this system understand what privacy is? Why are you still recording videos? Be careful, I’ll complain about you when I go back and deduct your points.】

The system retaliated: 【Deduct them if you want. Points are easy to come by. The host’s dirt is rare. I wonder if other taskers would be willing to exchange points for this video.】

Su Yu ground her teeth:【…】

Finally, she returned the video by territorial cession and compensation [4].

It was still early, but after the incident just now, Su Yu completely lost her sleepiness. She lay in the male lead’s arms, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she became spirited.

Raising her head, the man breathed evenly, seeming to be sound asleep.

Su Yu’s eyes sparkled, quietly reaching out an arm, taking the phone belonging to Gu Yanqing from the bedside, unlocking it with his fingerprint.

Opening the camera, she discreetly raised it, snapped a photo of the two embracing each other in sleep, and without hesitation, sent it to Shen Qingqing.

—Shen Meimei, A-Yan is now with me. Please stop pestering him.

—You don’t need to reply with questions. If it weren’t for A-Yan’s consent, I wouldn’t have his phone.

—Sending you this photo is to make you understand one thing. A-Yan is mine. I don’t like others coveting my things. Shen Meimei, do you understand? If you don’t, I have many more photos here.

After sending all the messages in one breath, there was indeed no reply from the other side, whether she was angry or crying, no one knew.

Su Yu accomplished her goal and retreated, deleting everything.
