Chapter 112 The Female Supporting Character Who Regrets the Arranged Marriage (Part 9)

Qingyu glared at the person in front of her, then slapped Zhou Hannan's hand away, pouting in dissatisfaction, "I put this together properly, where is it thin? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Besides, she's not cold at all!!!

Zhou Hannan smiled indulgently, and when he caught a glimpse of Qi Zhiyu's dark face out of the corner of his eye, he felt even more comfortable.

He did it on purpose. Qingyu is his wife now, so why is Qi Zhiyu eyeing her covetously?

"By the way, we haven't talked about what you were saying just now? Hua Yu, why do you look so pale?" It was Qi Zhiyu who spoke. He seemed to care about Cang Hua Yu, but his eyes lingered on Qing Yu and he couldn't look away.

Father Cang seemed oblivious to the awkwardness among them, and upon hearing this, he also looked at Cang Huayu, "What were you talking about?"

Cang Huayu smiled slightly, her face showing no sign of strain. "It's nothing, I've just been having some insomnia lately, don't worry about me, my husband."

She emphasized the word "husband" heavily, and Qi Zhiyu clenched her fingers, concealing the coldness in her eyes.

He asked that question on purpose, just to interrupt Zhou Hannan's "lovey-dovey" talk, and... he wanted to see if Qingyu would care about him.

Even the slightest bit?

But it was ultimately just wishful thinking.

There was a moment of silence, but finally Cangfu spoke up, and everyone prepared to go and have their meal.

On the way, Cang Huayu was restless. When she reached the back, Cang Huaiyu suddenly approached and his cold warning voice rang out: "Fifth sister, you have always been weak and pitiful. I hope you will live your own life well in the future and not bother Qingyu. Otherwise... you don't want your family not to help you, do you?"

The threatening words startled Cang Huayu. She bit her lip hard until it turned white, staring intently at the blue bricks under her feet.

Her heart was filled with resentment, not only as a warning to Cang Huaiyu, but also as a discontent with her own status.

Why is everyone stopping her from getting close to Qingyu?

She couldn't scheme against him before, but now that she doesn't scheme, she still can't get close to him?

Why? !

The reason why flowers in the high mountains are so sought after is because they are rare and beautiful enough to attract everyone.

The same is true of Qingyu today!

Cang Huayu took a deep breath and whispered a feigned agreement, "I understand."

Cang Huaiyu nodded in satisfaction, then strode to catch up with the others, looking gently at his only sister.

------------

When the time came for the homecoming ceremony, Qingyu followed Zhou Hannan back to the Zhou residence. Before leaving, feeling everyone's gaze, Qingyu looked thoughtfully at Qi Zhiyu.

For some reason, I always felt that Qi Zhiyu was a bit strange. In the story, his character was extremely noble, so why is he acting like this towards the Cang family now...?

Is it somewhat obsequious?

He even initiated conversation during meals...

After thinking for a moment, Qingyu came to two conclusions: either he was after the Cang family's wealth, or he cared about the female lead.

Qingyu, being sensible, felt that the latter possibility was unlikely.

She knew how charming she was.

However, she didn't initiate the conversation this time; perhaps Qi Zhiyu is a gentleman.

"If you miss home, you can come back often." Seeing Qingyu get into the carriage and remain silent, Zhou Hannan felt a pang of heartache and finally couldn't help but offer words of comfort. He added confidently at the end, "I can be with you anytime."

Qingyu's mind was brought back to normal. She looked at him intently and smiled faintly, "I don't need you to accompany me. Making money is the most important thing."

Zhou Hannan was speechless. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the beauty seemed to really like him doing business.

"Spending time with you is also a serious matter."

It wasn't until the carriage arrived at the Zhou residence and Qingyu got off first that she heard the person behind her say this in a low voice.

She paused slightly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

It was truly lust at first sight; the character in the story was so cold towards the original owner...

Back at the Zhou residence, Qingyu lived a peaceful life each day, except for Zhou Hannan, who was really annoying and would come over from time to time. Until this day, the maidservant hesitated before saying something.

After listening, Qingyu realized what she had overlooked: the female supporting character!

“That young lady is very fond of the young master. Madam, please don’t be sad. The young master doesn’t like her at all.”

The maid's words reminded Qingyu that there was a female supporting character who appeared frequently in the plot, but her appearances were not particularly eye-catching.

That was Zhou's cousin, Jin Ruyi, who was one year younger than Zhou Hannan. She had been taken in and cared for by Old Madam Zhou since she was a child and was also one of Old Madam Zhou's trump cards.

After all, Jin Ruyi is a stunning beauty in the city. Some time ago, Jin Ruyi went back to her hometown to pay respects to her parents and missed Zhou Hannan's wedding. She has rushed back these past few days.

Qingyu has read it. In the original story, this girl was portrayed as a kind and understanding person. She was always a close confidante of Old Madam Zhou in the Zhou family. Old Madam Zhou did not intend to marry her off to Zhou Hannan. She only wanted her to marry into a higher social class so that she could help her own family.

But Jin Ruyi had her own ideas. When she learned that her cousin was getting married, she did not make a scene. Instead, she became as close to Zhou Hannan as before.

The latter had always treated the original owner with utmost respect, without any feelings for her or any sense of unease.

The two would frequently come to the original owner's front to show their affection, which drove the original owner to the brink of madness.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Qingyu looked up and saw a slender figure in white gracefully approaching—

Jin Ruyi was dressed in plain white. It is said that if a girl wants to look pretty, she has to wear mourning clothes. Her seven points of beauty were raised to nine points. She looked weak and pitiful, but she also had an indomitable spirit that made her stand out.

Qingyu admired this girl somewhat. After living under someone else's roof for so many years, she was still able to make a good living and gradually gain fame in the city. That was not something that could be done overnight.

In a good mood, she smiled at Jin Ruyi, who slowly approached. Upon seeing the charming face before her, she was somewhat dazed.

Before returning, Jin Ruyi was indignant. She believed that apart from her status, she was no worse than those young ladies from wealthy families. Why couldn't her cousin marry her?

Hearing that the new wife had previously injured her face, she guessed that even if the injury had healed, she probably wouldn't look very good, which made her feel even more superior.

But seeing people in person completely overturned Jin Ruyi's understanding.

She never knew that such a radiant woman existed in the world.

The person sat there, and even without doing anything, every smile and frown was incredibly beautiful. Her radiant smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were like lustrous red jade, and her exquisite face seemed unreal...

At that moment, Jin Ruyi's heart underwent a complete transformation.

Such a beauty is being wasted on her cousin.

So Jin Ruyi stepped forward and sighed, "Qingyu, you've been wronged."

Qingyu looked bewildered, blinked in confusion, and then corrected her seriously, "You should call me cousin-in-law."

“Let’s call you Qingyu. I don’t want to be so distant from you. You can also call me Ruyi, okay?” Jin Ruyi smiled and took another step closer to Qingyu, suggesting with expectant eyes.

Qingyu was surprised by the other party's enthusiasm, and smiled helplessly, "It's up to you, but I heard that you like Zhou Hannan, so you don't mind?"

Even Jin Ruyi, who had changed her mind, was taken aback by the bluntness of the question.
