Chapter 5: Might As Well Go All The Way Bad
She quickly waved her hands: “I’m fine, this is just a minor injury. Cousin said it would heal in a week.”
Madam Jiang was still worried and hurriedly sent someone to invite Jin Cheng’s most authoritative expert doctor to come for a house call.
After finally finishing the busyness, it was time for dinner.
Jiang Ning looked at the table full of big fish and meat, tears streaming from the corners of her mouth.
In her previous life before dying, she had only eaten ten-yuan fast food. This was the best meal she had ever had in her life; she was so moved she was about to cry.
Madam Jiang also sat down at the dining table, ladled a bowl of soup for Jiang Ning, her eyes full of gentle indulgence: “Ning Ning, drink some of this big bone soup. Mom asked, and it’s helpful for your injury recovery.”
Jiang Ning was flattered and smiled obediently at Madam Jiang without making a mistake: “Thank you, Mom.”
Madam Jiang’s heart softened, and she reached out to touch Jiang Ning’s head: “You never need to thank Mom for what I give you; this is all what I should give you.”
Jiang Ning always felt there was something strange about these words, but for the moment, she couldn’t figure it out.
Her gaze quietly glanced at the second floor, thinking that this afternoon he had carried her for a stretch, and after all the tossing around, Jiang Yan should be hungry too. She drank her soup and casually asked: “What about Jiang Yan? Should we call him to eat?”
Madam Jiang’s originally gentle face instantly cooled a few degrees. She smiled at Jiang Ning: “No need to mind him; as long as he doesn’t starve to death, it’s fine. Ning Ning, eat quickly; today it’s all dishes you love.”
Afraid of giving herself away, Jiang Ning no longer mentioned Jiang Yan’s name.
After eating her fill, she went upstairs.
Madam Jiang had to go to the company to pick up Father Jiang, so she instructed Jiang Ning to rest in her room.
Lying on the custom three-meter-wide big bed.
Jiang Ning looked at the over two-hundred-square-meter large room and began pondering life.
“Little Honey, what’s the deal with this family? Is Jiang Yan not Madam Jiang’s biological son?”
Little Honey tsked and began explaining: [You and Jiang Yan are biological siblings, twins born to Madam Jiang. Isn’t it good that the whole family only pampers you? In your previous life, you were an orphan; in this life, you get to enjoy family affection—be content.]
Jiang Ning: “…”
She didn’t feel happy at all; instead, she felt a bit creeped out.
“Is this pampering legitimate? Ever since becoming this vicious female supporting character, I feel like the whole world hates me.” Jiang Ning touched her chin, somewhat worried.
Little Honey was speechless: […Do you have persecutory delusions? Besides, in the early part of this book, you’re the only one harming others! What are you worried about!]
Jiang Ning: “…”
She felt heartbroken: “I’m just a pure and flawless gardenia flower, yet they make me be the villainess.”
With that, she gripped a milk candy in her palm and went out.
The place where Jiang Yan was facing the wall to reflect was in his room.
Compared to Jiang Ning’s spacious and beautiful princess room, his place wasn’t rundown, but it was simple like a shabby hotel—aside from the desk, bed, and wardrobe, there was nothing else.
Jiang Ning quietly opened the door and saw in the darkness the youth standing with a straight back facing the wall.
She couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless in her heart. Jiang Yan was purely suffering an undeserved calamity—just because she was injured, he got beaten. But… this child was too honest. Madam Jiang wasn’t even home; how did he not know to slack off and lie on the bed.
The sound of her opening the door caught Jiang Yan’s attention. He was in the darkness, but the visitor was backlit, warm light spilling over her body, and with that innocent and pure face, she looked like an angel.
Disgust and weariness flashed in Jiang Yan’s eyes. The girl wasn’t an angel but a devil.
He coolly withdrew his gaze, his voice unable to hide sarcasm: “Are you here to mock me? Jiang Ning, do you deliberately injure yourself every time just to watch me get punished by Mother again and again because of your injuries? Are you proud? Why was I born into this family? Why do I have a family member like you?”
It was clearly a calm statement, but Jiang Ning felt a thick sense of suffocation.
Unaffected by Jiang Yan’s emotions, she pushed the door open, leaned against the doorframe, raised her brow, and told the truth: “Why else? Because I’m the vicious female supporting character, and you—my cannon fodder little brother.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Little Honey: […Do you want to see what you’re saying?]
Jiang Ning: 『If I don’t tell the truth, my mouth itches.』
No one could imagine this was the book world, so even if Jiang Ning told the blunt truth, no one would believe it.
Jiang Yan simply ignored Jiang Ning.
His palm felt a trace of warmth as Jiang Ning stuffed a perfectly wrapped White Rabbit Milk Candy into his hand.
This was the second time today Jiang Ning had given him candy.
He stared blankly and looked down at it, then suddenly threw the candy at Jiang Ning’s face.
The hard candy grazed Jiang Ning’s tender cheek, leaving an obvious red mark.
His voice suddenly rose, his gaze glaring hatefully at Jiang Ning: “Take your things and get out! I don’t need your fake kindness—get out!”
Jiang Ning ignored his hysteria and instead rubbed the injured spot with her hand—hiss, it really hurt.
Little Honey gloated: [You didn’t think doing a little good deed would change their impression of you, did you? My previous hosts tried the same and still failed the mission, dying miserably. Better to be bad to the end.]
Jiang Ning turned and left, completely ignoring Little Honey’s words.
She limped outward, expressionless, going to find a bucket and a ladder.
Little Honey: [What are you doing?]
Jiang Ning: “Just now, I had an epiphany. As the vicious female supporting character, if others harm me by a fraction, I should repay it a thousandfold!”
Little Honey: […]
It was rare to see such an enlightened host.
In the end, Jiang Ning shouldered the A-frame ladder, bucket in her other hand, not even minding her injured foot.
She set the ladder up next to Jiang Yan and climbed up with the bucket.
The bucket full of heavy milk candies was dumped over Jiang Yan’s head all at once. The milk candies fell to the floor, bouncing everywhere.
The hard candy wrappers scratched more marks on Jiang Yan’s face. Only then did Jiang Ning curl her lips: “There are a total of one thousand candies scattered on the floor. You must pick them all up and eat every single milk candy within two months, then fold the candy wrappers into paper cranes and give them to me. Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to make you leave the Jiang Family. Oh, and by the way.” Jiang Ning smiled with curved eyes, revealing a sweet smile: “If you dare throw away the candy I gave you or share it with others, I’ll drive your favorite Su Wanyuan out of Jin Cheng. I also have ten thousand ways to make her meet with an accidental death.”
Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in shock, then anger: “You dare!”
He wasn’t angry about Jiang Ning’s rude demand, but that she wanted to harm an innocent person again.
Jiang Ning slowly descended the ladder: “You’ll know if you try.”
She shouldered the ladder and left, completely ignoring the anger of the person behind her.
Only after Jiang Ning left did Jiang Yan react.
How did she know he secretly liked Su Wanyuan?
This was a secret only he knew. This crush was silent and unnoticeable—why did Jiang Ning know?
In an instant, he felt the shame of the most hidden corner of his heart being spied on.
His disgust for Jiang Ning rose another level.
If… if Jiang Ning dared to harm Su Wanyuan, he would make sure Jiang Ning met with an accidental death first!
In the room.
Jiang Ning hugged her red and swollen toes, wailing: “It hurts so much, revenge feels good for a moment, but I forgot I’m still injured.”
Little Honey was calm yet speechless: [Now I finally know why heaven bound me to you. Pure and flawless? You’re clearly an evil gardenia flower! So bad it’s abstract. Be honest, do you want him to get diabetes before he sacrifices for the female lead at the end?]
Jiang Ning hummed: “That would still be too easy on him, letting him taste something sweet.”
She opened her mobile phone, tapped into WeChat, wanting to see the original owner’s frequent contacts.
There was a red dot at new friends.
Someone named [Chunfen] applied to add her as a friend.
Below was a note: [I’m the patient’s brother].
