The villainous female supporting character in the quick transmigration game is incredibly popular!

Chapter 61 I am a vicious stepmother 5

Before leaving, Xie Jingzhou asked to add Qingyu's contact information. His attitude was so natural that Qingyu couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Although Qingyu is confident in her beauty, the world's plot supposedly has a mandatory element, plus the protagonist's halo...

Qingyu is a cautious person, so unless she sees something amiss, she will often remain suspicious.

What a joke! She did something that made her a villainous supporting character. Who knows if she might suddenly backfire?

Therefore, Qingyu righteously refused Xie Jingzhou's request and pushed Lu Linyan forward as a scapegoat, saying, "You and Linyan are brothers, so it's the same if you talk to him about some things."

Lin Yan...

Such an intimate way of addressing someone.

Xie Jingzhou clenched his fists silently, knowing that he would get nothing today and could only leave unwillingly.

As soon as he left, Grandpa Lu also got up and left, leaving only the two of them in the living room.

Lu Zemin stared longingly at Qingyu, his little finger twirling in circles, "I..."

Qingyu glared at him and called the butler over. "Butler, take him to rest. I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs."

The butler noticed that Lu Zemin wanted to get closer to Qingyu, which was a good thing for the Lu family, so he hesitated.

But Qingyu wasn't discussing it with anyone. After speaking, she went upstairs with a "thump thump thump" and then neatly closed the door.

Lu Zemin was stunned for a moment, and in the end he could only sit on the sofa dejectedly and sulk.

Why haven't you forgiven him yet? He's not naughty anymore...

----------

Lu Linyan's date with Bai Tao ultimately failed; both of them were distracted and thinking about someone at the same time.

It wasn't until they had finished eating that the two realized they hadn't spoken a word the entire dinner.

This is not normal.

Lu Linyan's expression was somewhat complicated. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable and always felt a little guilty when facing Bai Tao.

But—he loves Bai Tao, so why does he think of Qing Yu so often?

Lu Linyan couldn't understand.

At this moment, Bai Tao suddenly looked up at Lu Linyan, tears welling in her eyes, "Linyan, do you regret being with me?"

Lu Linyan's brow twitched, and he frowned. "Why did you suddenly think of that?"

Bai Tao lowered the darkness in her eyes and said with a wronged expression, "You said before that you were getting married to protect me, but today I saw Miss Gao... she seems very outstanding. Does that mean you will never be separated from her in the future?"

separate?

These two words were extremely jarring, and Lu Linyan subconsciously pictured Qingyu leaning against someone else's chest—

My mood instantly turned violent.

He sensed something was wrong with his state, quickly suppressed it, and then said, "...No, don't overthink it. I will...get a divorce as soon as possible."

It was extremely difficult for Bai Tao to say, but she wasn't stupid. She immediately understood the underlying meaning of Lu Linyan's words, and a chill rose in her heart.

O man!

"That's good. I thought you were going to leave me." Bai Tao seemed relieved, a sweet smile on her face.

Lu Linyan forced a smile, but he was still somewhat absent-minded.

After the two left the restaurant, their original plan to go to the movies was abandoned, and Lu Linyan took Bai Tao home directly.

It's worth mentioning that the "home" where Bai Tao lives was arranged by Lu Linyan. Previously, Bai Tao lived with her mother in an old house that resembled a slum. Lu Linyan wouldn't just stand by and watch Bai Tao suffer, so he directly arranged for her to live in a luxury apartment.

It's only a few kilometers away from the Lu family villa.

He had just escorted the person to the door when he ran into Xie Jingzhou, who was returning.

Yes, Xie Jingzhou had taken the initiative to stay next door to Bai Tao's house in order to take care of such a simple girl.

Upon seeing Lu Linyan, Xie Jingzhou's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. He took the initiative to step forward and greet her, "Linyan, you're back?"

Then his mocking gaze swept over Lu Linyan and Bai Tao, as if something had happened between them.

Lu Linyan frowned, nodded, and explained, "I brought Bai Tao back with no other intentions."

Xie Jingzhou smiled but didn't say anything.

Bai Tao, standing to the side, spoke up with a smile, "Brother Xie, did you go to see Zemin again? I've missed Zemin so much since I last saw him."

"Zeming is fine. If you're destined to meet, you can do so." Xie Jingzhou replied politely but distantly.

Bai Tao sensed something was wrong. Xie Jingzhou used to look at her with a touch of doting affection, not the gaze of a lover, but more like that of a brother and sister. Why was he looking at her like this now...?

She smiled gently, "We live nearby, we can go together."

“I can’t go.” Xie Jingzhou interrupted Bai Tao, who was slightly surprised, and then heard him continue, “I’m moving tomorrow, this place is just too far away.”

They moved to a house closer to the Lu family villa.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingzhou couldn't help but widen his smile. He didn't want to deal with the two people in front of him anymore, so he said apologetically, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

He used to be able to treat Bai Tao like a younger sister, but he can't anymore. What if Qing Yu misunderstands?

Xie Jingzhou decided to keep himself pure and not be like Lu Linyan.

Seeing that the person had left, Bai Tao's smile faded, and she felt a little flustered, as if things had gone beyond her expectations.

Without their help, how could she integrate into high society?

and……

Qingyu immediately recognized the moon in the sky; she needed to find a way to learn more about it…

Therefore, Lu Linyan was her most important stepping stone.

Thinking of this, Bai Tao's eyes hardened, and she looked at Lu Linyan with a simple smile, "How about I bring you food tomorrow?"

The latter seemed lost in thought, and his sudden shout was somewhat unnatural. He nodded and said, "Okay."

After exchanging a few more words, Lu Linyan drove away.

As the car drove into the night, Bai Tao's smile gradually faded. She exhaled expressionlessly, realizing how difficult it was to keep acting.

My face was almost frozen from smiling.

Shaking her head, the girl in the white dress looked down at her dress and suddenly felt that the red dress looked better than the white one…

Matching outfits are more flattering.

--------

Qingyu's days at the Lu family were incredibly comfortable. This was the modern world, unlike ancient times when information was scarce and entertainment was rare.

Here, Qingyu can stay at home for most of the day with just a mobile phone.

She's recently become obsessed with trending topics, gossip, and TV dramas, turning herself into a complete homebody.

But she never expected to see her name trending on social media that day.

The suspected mistress of the CEO of Lu Corporation met with his wife, and the two engaged in a fierce confrontation, in which the wife was defeated!

The news headline, which was over ten characters long, left Qingyu speechless.

Scroll down further, and several photos appear, which are clearly the photos of the day she met Lu Linyan at the restaurant.

The photo was taken from a particular angle, and combined with the expressions of the people in it, the more you look at it, the more it matches the description in the title...

"This is what they call... a journalist? Aren't journalists supposed to report the truth? How can they make things up?" In Qingyu's mind, journalists and so-called righteous people should be similar, but now, looking at this article and photos, there wasn't a single word of truth.

"Everything has two sides, it's not simply black and white." The system wasn't surprised, it just gave a brief explanation.

Qingyu understood immediately. After a sigh, she was about to put it out of her mind when the system reminded her, "Aren't you going to clarify? This kind of public opinion can easily have consequences."

"I don't work and I'm not a boss, so how can public opinion affect me? At most, it's Lu Linyan's responsibility to deal with it; it has nothing to do with me."

Qingyu is currently in a state similar to a parasite. Remembering the tragedy of the original owner in the story, she decided to give up.

The original owner was just too infatuated...

Qingyu actually suspected that the original owner might be a looks-obsessed person, or what people online call a "love-obsessed" person. Otherwise, she just couldn't understand why men had anything good about love.

Wouldn't it be better to be rich?
