The Strategy of That Scum [Quick Transmigration] (MTL)

Chapter 16 Substitute (Fifteen)

Watching Rong Yi move forward without looking back, with an unstoppable momentum, Qin Yi furrowed his brow. It didn't seem like the attitude of a cunning woman about to have her conspiracy exposed. She acted as if she were certain that he wouldn't tell Jiang Chengming about the things she had done.

He chuckled and stepped on the gas, turning the car towards the hospital.

Back at the villa, after greeting the old housekeeper of the Jiang family, Rong Yi turned and looked at Qin Yi's departing car, lightly chuckling.

On the other side, Qin Yi quickly arrived at the hospital. He was genuinely worried about Yi Rou's condition and had no idea how she was getting along with Jiang Chengming now. If it weren't for her earnest request, he wouldn't have gone to pick up Rong Yi.

Worried that Jiang Chengming might bring her to the hospital to meet Rong Yi, Yi Rou had already found him in advance. She pleaded with him to help bring Rong Yi back, and since he also had some information to inquire about, he agreed.

Little did he know that he would face such a tricky woman. Thick-skinned, cunning, and unreadable—these were his impressions of her. She not only played the Jiang brothers like puppets but also had Jiang Chengming, who knew she was now his brother's girlfriend, in a seemingly eager-to-die manner. No doubt, this woman's skills were exceptionally high. How could someone as kind and innocent as Yi Rou be her match?

Qin Yi wondered about the current relationship between Jiang Chengming and Yi Rou. If Chengming made Yi Rou sad, Qin Yi wouldn't let him off easily.

Lost in thought, Qin Yi suddenly stopped at the entrance of the ward.

Then, he quickly stepped aside, a momentary twinge in his heart reminding him that the heart-wrenching scene he saw earlier was not his imagination but a harsh reality.

The woman he cherished the most was nestled in another man's arms, kissing him sweetly.

The blush on her face and the infatuation in her eyes told him that she was not being forced but willingly enjoying the moment.

Before, when Jiang Chengming appeared, he could convince himself that Chengming was just a clown, and regardless of their increased interaction, the ultimate result wouldn't change. This was his confidence.

But now, with Chengming only recently back, Yi Rou had completely transformed. Her previous loss of control, combined with the current unrestrained admiration, was like a slap in the face, shattering all his confidence in an instant.

Jiang Chengming was entirely different from Jiang Chengyi. He and Yi Rou had an insurmountable seven-year gap, and Qin Yi didn't understand where Rong Yi got her confidence. According to his investigation, she had only known Jiang Chengming for a little over twenty days. Yet, she carried herself with such assurance.

Qin Yi sneered, started the engine, and abruptly hit the horn, dispersing his troubled thoughts. Damn that witch Rong Yi!

Cursing in his mind, he immediately accelerated out of the hospital's underground parking lot.

After waiting calmly all night without Jiang Chengming asking about Rong Yi, when Yi Rou sat up in bed, she whistled lightly.

Qin Yi didn't say anything. Huh.

Was he supposed to inform Jiang Chengming and Yi Rou of the true situation, or should he hide and store the documents?

What was wrong with him?

Qin Yi got into the car, slapped the steering wheel suddenly, and the car horn blared.

That witch Rong Yi!

After cursing in his mind, he immediately accelerated out of the hospital's underground parking lot.

After a while, she sighed lightly.

Was she doing a good deed? Jiang Chengming would at least mature a bit more. If he truly fell in love with another girl, he might learn to cherish it.

And that person would not be her, never.

Rong Yi raised her eyebrows, feeling calm. She sat back on the bed, took out her phone, and dialed Jiang Chengming's number directly.

Unexpectedly, after just one ring, the call was immediately hung up...

Hung up?

Rong Yi shook her head with a wry smile. Jiang Chengming wouldn't hang up on her. Qin Yi shouldn't be so bored, and the possibility of a nurse or doctor was also minimal. Then, it left only...

"Yi Rou! What's wrong?"

Jiang Chengming, holding back the lunch he had just bought, looked at Lin Yirou, who was nervously holding the phone, and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? Ah! Nothing... Is this the lunch you just bought? It looks delicious..."

"Uh-huh..."

Jiang Chengming nodded with a smile, his eyes inadvertently falling on the mobile phone beside him.

"I'll answer the call first, maybe it's something urgent..."

"Hey? What's wrong?"

In response to Jiang Chengming's question, Lin Yirou hurriedly put the phone aside, slightly shaking.

"No... nothing..."

Lin Yirou quickly put the phone aside, shaking her slightly trembling hands behind her back. She couldn't let Jiang Chengming know about Rong Yi's sudden disappearance. She just had to act normally. Her guess was correct. Jiang Chengming wouldn't mind. After all, he had just come back. As long as he was happy, he wouldn't care about anything else...

Jiang Chengming, who didn't find anything unusual, answered the call with a smile.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Where are you?"

"In the hospital, just bought lunch. What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. I was bored, so I wanted to call you."

"Really? That's rare."

"Yeah, I just miss you a little."

Hearing Lin Yirou's words, Jiang Chengming's heart warmed, and his smile deepened.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. You wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lin Yirou put away her phone, her eyes filled with happiness.

After hanging up, she looked at the time on the phone. It was almost twelve o'clock, and Jiang Chengming bought lunch for her. She quickly got up and walked to the bathroom.

Rong Yi, who was hiding in the room next door, looked at Lin Yirou's happy look in the mirror, with a slight smile on her face.

No need to wait long. Not long after Lin Yirou went to the bathroom, Jiang Chengming hurriedly walked in with a lunch box in his hand.

"Hey, why didn't you wait for me to eat lunch?"

Seeing Lin Yirou eating in the bathroom, Jiang Chengming couldn't help but complain.

Lin Yirou laughed lightly, her mouth full of food. "I'm afraid I can't resist the smell of the meal, so I ate in advance. Do you want to eat together?"

"Okay."

Jiang Chengming nodded, took out his lunch from the bag, and sat opposite Lin Yirou.

Looking at Lin Yirou, who was eating happily, Jiang Chengming felt a sense of satisfaction.

Maybe, this is the best result. He thought of the figure he had just seen in the corridor, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In his life, besides revenge, he owed the most to Lin Yirou.

Now, he just wanted to be with Lin Yirou and live a peaceful and happy life.
