After Awakening Consciousness, I Was Entangled by the White Moonlight Female Supporting Character - Chapter 16

A solution? What solution could the spoiled Jiang heiress possibly have?

“But I’m just a good-for-nothing playgirl, I don’t—”

Jiang Ciqiu suddenly realized: “Wait a minute, when did I ever say I’d take you in? Chu Han, you tricked me!”

The white moonlight curved her lips slightly, her brows lifting as cold sweat covered her forehead.

“I didn’t.”

The car pulled into the hospital, and the woman in professional attire reminded them: “We’re here. Hurry and get an emergency number.”

Chu Han was helped out of the car by Jiang Ciqiu and asked the woman still in the driver’s seat, “You’re letting her take me in?”

“That’s right.”

“You trust her?”

Jiang Ciqiu protested loudly, “What’s that supposed to mean? Is it beneath you to have this young lady escort you inside?”

Chu Han replied, “If it weren’t for you—”

“Alright, alright! I get it, you don’t trust me!” Jiang Ciqiu knocked on the car door. “Get out, I’ll park the car.”

The woman in the driver’s seat smiled slightly. “Never mind, you two seem to be getting along just fine.”

She started the engine. “I won’t be long. Miss Jiang, I appreciate your help.”

Jiang Ciqiu and Chu Han: “…”

Wait, where exactly did she get the idea they were getting along?

“Whatever, let’s just go in. Your friend is even more unreliable than I am.”

Chu Han remained silent, allowing herself to be supported.

The pain from the fracture was constant, but she hadn’t made a sound the entire way.

Even so, the cold sweat on her forehead and her pale face couldn’t hide the agony.

In that regard, Jiang Ciqiu had to admire her.

She just couldn’t understand how this person later turned into that venomous character who only targeted the female lead.

Jiang Ciqiu first registered at the emergency orthopedics department, then rented a wheelchair to push Chu Han in for examination.

She ran up and down handling all the procedures for Chu Han.

When had she ever dealt with hospital formalities before? So, at every step, she had to ask—asking people around her how to find places and what to do.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too complicated, or she would have called Secretary Bai to handle it.

If not for not wanting her family—and by extension, Jiang Wanhe—to find out, she would have called Secretary Bai from the start.

If she had called Secretary Bai immediately, she wouldn’t have been tricked by Chu Han either.

When had the young Miss Jiang ever experienced anything like this?

The people she usually encountered were either sarcastic or obsequious, and she never put up with any of it.

Jiang Ciqiu lived by the principle of not offending others unless offended first. If someone’s mouth was foul, she’d retaliate fiercely without caring about consequences.

At first, people often took her for an easy target, but gradually, no one dared to provoke her anymore.

Jiang Wanhe’s protagonist aura was too strong. Since childhood, outsiders had always sided with him, though no one knew why they harbored such malice toward Jiang Ciqiu.

But now she wasn’t afraid anymore—not that she should have been in the first place.

After years of being spoiled and doing as she pleased, the young Miss Jiang had been outmaneuvered for the first time by a woman she’d only met three times.

A saying suddenly came to mind—first time strangers, second time acquaintances.

Where there’s a first, there’s a second.

If you’re tricked once, it’ll happen again.

A chill ran down her spine, and Jiang Ciqiu rubbed her arms.

“Are you cold?”

The woman who had parked the car finally arrived.

Jiang Ciqiu said exasperatedly, “Did you get lost in the parking lot? What took you so long?”

The woman thought to herself, this person really has the temper of a spoiled young lady, not bothering to hide it at all. Who treats someone they’ve just met like this?

Besides, as a friend of Chu Han, shouldn’t she feel at least a little guilty toward her too?

But she’s kind of cute—just complaining without actually throwing a tantrum.

“I’m just a lowly office worker. I had to call my superior for sudden leave approval and deal with some urgent documents before I could rush back.”

Jiang Ciqiu reluctantly accepted this explanation.

Then she asked, “How did you find your way here?”

“I just asked around for the orthopedics department along the way.”

“How should I address you?”

The woman smiled slightly, adjusting her glasses. “Miss Jiang finally asks for my name.”

She extended a hand: “Jian Shu, ‘Jian’ as in simple, ‘Shu’ as in book.”

Jian Shu?!

That minor supporting character who later helps Chu Han but gets killed off early?!

Oh no, why am I running into these people so soon?

“My name is—”

“I know, Jiang Ciqiu. There’s only one young lady in the Jiang family.”

Her gaze was too perceptive, different from Chu Han’s—Jian Shu’s eyes carried a gentler warmth.

But Jiang Ciqiu had always believed soft knives were more dangerous than hard ones.

And those eyes looked too much like her father’s—that same smiling tiger expression from business negotiations.

Staring too long always made Jiang Ciqiu hallucinate her daddy.

So, she averted her eyes after one glance.

“Where’s Chu Han?”

Jiang Ciqiu pointed inside: “Getting her cast.”

Jian Shu sat beside her, pulling out her phone to reply to messages.

After sitting awhile, Jiang Ciqiu stood up: “I’ll go pay the bills. You wait here.”

“Leaving already?” Jian Shu asked, still wanting to ask the young miss some questions.

“I’ll take full responsibility. It’s not like I’ll run away. What’s there to ask?”

“Though that’s not what I meant… fine, I understand.”

Jian Shu replied, thinking this young miss really had quite the temper.

She’d heard rumors before, but experiencing it firsthand was different.

Jiang Ciqiu spun her phone restlessly in the elevator, brows tightly furrowed.

Finally reaching the ground floor, she stepped out and made a call.

“Hello, Daddy~ I want to discuss something with you…”

–

After the cast was applied, Jian Shu went to wheel her out. The doctor said to return for a checkup in six weeks, then listed some precautions.

Having noted these, Jian Shu wheeled her outside to wait for Jiang Ciqiu’s return.

“You really don’t have her number? Why didn’t you save it earlier?”

“Would you believe me if I said I forgot?”

Jian Shu: “No.”

Chu Han smiled slightly: “She’ll come back. Why should I worry?”

“Don’t be so confident. For someone like Miss Jiang to shake off people like us would be easy—just one check would do.”

She paused, then asked: “But aren’t you in desperate need of money right now? Compared to living with that genuine young miss who’s all spoiled temper, I’d think you’d take the money. I don’t quite understand your move here.”

“Who says I need money?”

“Didn’t you say your family went bankrupt—”

Jian Shu finally caught the key point—her family went bankrupt.

But that didn’t mean she personally was broke.

“Ah… so when you told her you were penniless in the car, that was a lie too?”

“Not at all,” Chu Han looked up at her, “I really am penniless.”

“Chu Han, we’ve known each other for so many years. Do you still need to beat around the bush with your bestie?”

“I’m not beating around the bush. I came to talk to you about this very matter today—who knew this would happen.”

Jian Shu gave her a disdainful look, seeing right through her: “Oh please, ‘this would happen’—don’t think I can’t tell you did this on purpose.”
