The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 23

The awkwardness of sharing the same bed couldn’t resist the temptation of barbecue. Wen Yu decisively replied, “Want barbecue, big brother? Can you bring it for me when you come back?”

To strengthen her persuasion, Wen Yu also sent an emoji of a ‘little cat patting its belly, saying hungry~’.

After sending it, she held her face, full of anticipation. However, the man on the other end of the internet, just closing a file, saw the message, raised an eyebrow, and typed, “No, you can’t eat.”

Wen Yu: !
What’s going on with this mother-son duo!
Doesn’t anyone feel sorry for this food-loving beauty?

The rejection was so decisive. Wen Yu: [Crying.jpg]

Jiang Yunyan: [Wait until you’re better.]

Wen Yu: [Okay]

Wen Yu was stunned, looking at the lonely word on the phone screen. She unexpectedly felt warmth, like the time her big brother couldn’t resist her and went to cook while sulking.

Feeling a bit uneasy, she touched her warm cheeks. Did she catch a fever again? But touching her forehead, she seemed fine.

Wen Yu closed WeChat, contemplating whether to go out to eat by herself. However, it seemed like Aunt Jiang liked watching TV downstairs. What if she saw Jiang Dad coming back? Like Jiang Yunyan, he was a workaholic, though not as severe, usually getting home around 8:30 every night.

From dinner until now, only an hour had passed. Wen Yu decided to wait a bit longer.

During her free time, she casually went online. With a job that didn’t consume more than ten hours a day, she had plenty of leisure time. Besides, she had mastered the skills of playing the game ‘King of Glory’ on her own.

As usual, Wen Yu opened Weibo, intending to browse casually or play games if there were no interesting posts. But as soon as she opened it, the top trending topic caught her eye: #JiangYunjinHoldingLongHairBeauty#

Wen Yu: ??
What’s going on?
She quickly clicked on the topic and saw several GIFs posted by a marketing account. It seemed like a group of people dining, just coming out of a restaurant. There were both men and women, all looking very young but unfamiliar, probably not from their circle.

When they reached the car, one of the girls suddenly threw herself into Jiang Yunjin’s arms, stayed for about three seconds, and was then pulled away. However, it didn’t happen immediately; there was some struggle in between, lasting several seconds.

Paparazzi photos are generally not too close, so the faces in these GIFs were not very clear. But Jiang Yunjin’s face was too outstanding, easily recognizable at a glance. And coincidentally, Su Lengyue’s hair wasn’t that long.

Jiang Yunjin is in trouble!

Wen Yu had only one thought in her mind.

As an awakened person who knew everything, Wen Yu, upon witnessing the scene, immediately recalled the corresponding plot in her mind.

Being the most entangling supporting female character, Wen Yu exited the stage midway. In the book, dealing with Wen Yu wasn’t difficult; the main issue was Jiang Yunjin repeatedly softening his heart towards her, leading to Su Lengyue being bullied repeatedly.

Without Wen Yu, there were still others!

Zhao Qingyuan didn’t have many scenes, mainly concentrated in the later stages and scheming behind the scenes. In the middle and later stages, a significant misunderstanding arose between the male and female leads, where the girl who threw herself into Jiang Yunjin’s arms turned out to be his close brother’s biological sister.

The girl had always liked Jiang Yunjin, suppressed by Wen Yu previously, and didn’t dare to show her feelings. After studying abroad for a while, she temporarily disappeared. On her return, her brother invited Jiang Yunjin and others to a welcoming feast, sparking this misunderstanding.

Su Lengyue felt jealous, and due to their busy schedules, they couldn’t immediately clear up the misunderstanding. So that year, Su Lengyue just made a phone call to Jiang’s parents to pay respects, unlike the previous year when she personally visited.

Of course, Jiang’s parents didn’t mind much. At that time, Wen Yu had already divorced, and Jiang’s parents, led by Jiang Yunjin, went on a trip. When they returned, they found Wen Yu completely estranged, refusing to come back, which saddened and angered them.

They attributed everything to Su Lengyue, and their satisfaction with her turned into cold indifference.

Wen Yu couldn’t help but sympathize with the protagonist as she recalled the past plot. But the story unfolded this way.

The couple faced numerous challenges in their relationship, but regardless of the obstacles, they eventually reconciled. Until Jiang Yunyan’s death, Jiang Yunjin matured overnight, Su Lengyue set aside past grievances, and the Jiang family, realizing their own mistakes, apologized to her. Both sides reconciled.

When the relationship between Jiang Yunxin and Su Lengyue stabilized, he proposed to her, and the book concluded.

Now, the plot has developed to the present. Wen Yu’s phone suddenly vibrated.

Opening WeChat, she saw several red envelopes from Jiang’s mother, tagging Su Lengyue to claim them. At the same time, Jiang’s mother scolded her son in the group for being unreliable and causing such a scandal.

As Wen Yu was currently safe, Jiang’s parents naturally cared for Su Lengyue. With their son not around, Jiang’s mother would have twisted his ears 720 degrees if he were present!

Jiang’s father was also dragged into the scolding. Currently, in the group, only Jiang’s mother was exerting her dominance, making others tremble.

However, unlike Wen Yu’s bold and unrestrained nature, Su Lengyue was reserved. Apart from this matter, even if she felt uncomfortable, she immediately reassured Jiang’s mother in a calm tone, helping to explain that it was all a misunderstanding.

【Ajin told me about this gathering. After dinner, he will be filming and will return soon. Aunt, rest assured, I won’t misunderstand.】

Take a look at these considerate words.

If Wen Yu remembers correctly, Su Lengyue is currently filming “Tiangong,” while Jiang Yunjin is working on another film, not a sci-fi one. The production is progressing rapidly, set for a summer release, avoiding any clash.

The filming task for “Tiangong” is demanding, yet Su Lengyue still manages to find time to reply to messages.

Observing Jiang Yunjin’s stillness, Wen Yu clenches his fist: [@Su Lengyue, don’t be so considerate. In a fight, as a big man, he has no vigilance at all? Whether kneeling on durian or washboard, he has to choose one, right? Being this careful, he might continue bullying you in the future!]

Jiang’s mother: [Exactly, Xiaoyu is right. Su, do you like durian? I’ll buy some for you, kneel on one every day, and after kneeling, you can eat.]

Jiang’s father: [Your aunt is right.]

Su Lengyue: “…”

She finds it amusing, and the frustration in her heart lessens as she reads the messages in the group. At this moment, paparazzi just released news; perhaps Jiang Yunjin is still unaware.

She knows nothing happened between Jiang Yunjin and the girl because after dinner, he returned to the hotel and even made a video call.

Knowing it’s one thing; overcoming the feeling is another.

She feels repulsed.

In the video, Jiang Yunjin didn’t immediately push the girl away, and even when he did, the force wasn’t strong enough, allowing her to cling for several seconds.

However, everyone in the Jiang family is like that, and even Wen Yu consoles himself. She doesn’t feel as bad, smiling: [Okay, I’ve learned. Thanks, Uncle and Aunt, thanks Xiaoyu.]

Wen Yu: [You’re welcome, though I know you’ve only learned it on the surface.]

[Women.jpg]

The meme is a small creature with outstretched hands, saying: Women, three words.

Su Lengyue chuckles, touching her nose, realizing Wen Yu hit the mark.

At this point, Jiang’s mother adds: [Ah, Xiaosu is just too good-natured. Let me tell you, men, you can’t be too good to them!]

[Back then, your uncle had a lot of admirers. After I punished him a few times, I never saw them again.]

Jiang’s father: [Cough, why talk about those things with the child?]

Jiang’s mother: [If it can be done, why not talk about it? The eldest is a bit better, Xiaoyu, remind the eldest not to be like the second, useless! If a girl approaches, and she’s not a girlfriend, doesn’t he know how to avoid it?!]

Clearly reminiscing about her youth, Jiang’s mother types away, one sentence after another.

Jiang’s father hesitates: [I’m back.]

If there’s anything, scold directly, don’t do it in front of the child.

It’s too embarrassing.

Continuing, Wen Yu vaguely heard some commotion downstairs. Unable to resist, she quietly got up, opened the door slightly, and immediately heard the commotion downstairs. Mrs. Jiang’s anxious voice echoed, “Look at the son you gave birth to! What kind of appearance is this? I said he shouldn’t have entered the entertainment industry. Always posing on the screen, causing trouble everywhere. Look at Xiaoyu and look at others like Xiao Su, innocently acting. He, on the other hand, stirs up scandals every now and then. I didn’t know before, but once I searched, well, marketing accounts say he could form a football team with his ex-girlfriends!”

Mr. Jiang: “Hmm, I was wrong. When he comes back, I’ll break his legs…”

Wen Yu: …

To save Mr. Jiang some face, Wen Yu squatted at the door, eavesdropping for quite a while, until the sound of footsteps approached, revealing a pair of long legs in front of her.

Hmm?

Big brother?!

Why is he back so early!

Wen Yu was so shocked that she sat on the ground.

—

On the other side, Jiang Yunjin was also in a panic. At the first sight of the message, he called Su Lengyue to apologize. However, due to his earlier filming, by the time he got his phone and found the message, more than half an hour had passed.

A lot can happen in that half-hour.

Even if Su Lengyue rationally knows that Jiang Yunjin didn’t actually do anything with that girl, emotionally, it’s not that easy to accept. Because it’s not the first time. He had quarreled with Wen Yu a few times before and with others in the industry a few times.

Of course, each time, whether it was clarification or explanation, she forgave him, but now, another incident made Su Lengyue uncomfortable. She’s more reserved, not prone to getting upset directly like Wen Yu, so when Jiang Yunjin sincerely apologized, Su Lengyue just smiled, “Well, I know it’s nothing.”

Jiang Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the matter had passed, but he still felt uneasy inside, thinking it might not be that easy. “If you’re not angry, that’s good. It’s my fault. I’ll clarify online, and in a couple of days, your crew will also have a break, right? I’ll take you to meet them and let Minghan personally apologize to you.”

Su Lengyue lowered her eyes, smiling, “No need, I’m quite busy. There’s a New Year’s Eve concert to attend, and I have to go back to spend the New Year with my parents. I don’t have time.”

“Ah? So, this year…” Jiang Yunjin nervously asked, “Are you still coming to my house?”

Su Lengyue took a deep breath, “Not for now. I’ll send a gift for Uncle and Auntie later.” At this moment, her assistant brought the luggage over, and she smiled, “I’ll have someone deliver it to them. I have to go now.”

After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone. Jiang Yunjin had a bad feeling, but Su Lengyue’s reasons were valid; they were all quite busy, especially her, in the rising phase of her career. He didn’t want to disturb her constantly.

Just opened Weibo and quickly posted a Weibo message: 【This is my friend’s younger sister. We used to play together when we were kids. She just returned to the country, and we had a meal together. The girl just got a bit drunk, nothing more. Don’t spread rumors. After dinner, she went back to the filming set. It’s been reported.】
After posting, refreshed and saw the rapidly filled comments section: 【Here we go】
【Jiang ge is right, just a friend’s sister】
【Haha, reported, hilarious, is this what it means to be a conscientious man with a partner】
【Jiang ge is a model of male virtue】
Apparently, the fans didn’t think much of it, and it quickly got brushed aside. Jiang Yunjin has a large following, and most of the comments are from fans.
However, there were some bystanders chiming in: 【Really upholding male virtue, why didn’t you push her away immediately?】
【The girl is willing to hug a married man like you, and you can’t bring yourself to push her away directly?】
【Setting aside the girl, does Jiang Yunjin think he’s immune to Is there a mistake?】
Being carried back to bed by someone who had just returned, a bored Wen Yu, deprived of her melon-eating entertainment, opened Weibo and witnessed the scene. Decisively, she found the voices of onlookers and gave each one a like.

Not long after, Jiang Yunjin called, “Miss, what are you doing at this time?! I haven’t pacified my girlfriend yet!”

Wen Yu looked at the just-showered Jiang Yunyan, immediately pouted her lips, her eyes turning red. With skilled precision, she wiped away tears, “Wow, big brother, Jiang Yunjin scolded me! He actually scolded me!”

“I’m sick, and he actually yelled at me!”

“He’s the one who did something wrong, I just liked a post, and he actually yelled at me so loudly!”

Jiang Yunjin: “??”

He’s in trouble!
