After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 11

The movie was very interesting. It was about a middle-aged man who traveled back in time and became his 20-year-old self again.

That era was a time of rapid recovery and the discovery of gold. Coming from the future, he took advantage of his 20-year head start to speculate in real estate, go into business, and engage in real estate ventures. He also met a girlfriend who was deeply in love with him and fully supported him.

The ending was perfect. After all, he was only in his early twenties, and all the regrets in his life were still within reach.

His deceased parents, his betrayed best friend, the right leg ruined in a car accident, and being a lifelong bachelor.

There were also many funny moments, such as being mistaken for a cult member and being sent to the police station when trying to recruit people. Being accused of being a hooligan for flirting with the female lead, and then being cleared of the misunderstanding by the female lead herself, his embarrassment at showing behavior that didn’t match his age when he was intimate with the female lead, and occasionally blurting out classic internet sayings from the future, as well as his preference for soaking goji berries in a thermos, which was more like a 40-year-old middle-aged man despite his 20-year-old appearance.

Li Suimei watched and smiled, feeling very happy, but she kept pressing down the corners of her mouth, and her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Meimei, is something bothering you?” Qin Zhan asked her when they left the theater.

Li Suimei smiled, looked up at him, and her eyes were as bright as the Milky Way, “I was thinking… the movie just now was very good, we should invite Aunt and Qin, Qin Qing, to come together.”

Qin Zhan was silent for two seconds. The Qin family’s car arrived, and he bent down to open the car door for Li Suimei, putting his hand on the door to protect her head, saying, “Meimei, dating is a matter for two people.”

The car door closed gently, and Qin Zhan sat in the passenger seat.

Li Suimei was stunned. As the car drove away from the cinema, she wanted to refute something, but Qin Zhan’s tone had already returned to normal, “You can watch movies at home. Every day, there will be new movies sent to the Qin family. If you want to watch them, you can watch them at home in the future.”

Li Suimei pouted. The two siblings of the Qin family were indeed carved from the same mold.

Emotions couldn’t be faked. She didn’t love Qin Zhan, and no matter how deep her affection seemed, it couldn’t withstand Gu Linxi’s future expression of love and loss and her difficult choices.

If the original character were still around, this play might be easier to perform. After all, Li Suimei, who had inherited the original character’s memories, knew that the original character didn’t dislike him completely.

Unfortunately, she was not there, and no matter how hard Li Suimei tried to pretend, she kept making mistakes, and Qin Zhan probably had already noticed something.

She couldn’t get into character. Facing a paper person who was destined to abandon her and couldn’t give her everything, everything was just a pretense.

She clenched her fists, her fingers digging into her palm. If Qin Zhan discovered that she was just pretending, the male lead would inevitably be pushed away by her. But now, it was still early before the engagement time in the original story, and she hadn’t gained the trust of the Qin family yet.

Qin Zhan could not love her, but she could not let Qin Zhan and Gu Linxi develop before the Qin family agreed to their engagement. She had to make Qin’s family believe that she liked Qin Zhan, and that Qin Zhan felt the same way about her, so that the two of them could get engaged as planned.

She had to do something.

Li Suimei smiled and said, “Qin Zhan, it’s not convenient to always live in the Qin family. I think I should move out.”

“Work?”

Qin Qing smiled, waving her hand to brush away her sleeve, “Isn’t it because I don’t want to?”

Li Suimei held her phone, her fingers trembling slightly. The phone on the other end was on speaker, and Qin Qing’s voice was low and gentle.

Li Suimei coughed lightly, moved the phone from her left ear to her right ear, and then rubbed her red and itchy earlobe, replying, “Yes, I’ve thought about it… it’s…”

Suddenly, her voice became embarrassed and she stammered, “Then, then what should I do? You’re not here….”

Qin Zhan turned the doorknob and paused, raising his eyes to look at Li Suimei who was on the phone in the corridor.

“It’s okay.” Qin Qing agreed to her.

Li Suimei was overjoyed and hung up the phone, rushing towards Qin Zhan with bright eyes.

“Qin Zhan, your sister is indeed more open-minded and generous.

Qin Zhan chuckled, “As you wish.”

Qin Zhan returned to his room, and Li Suimei pouted, muttering, “As you wish, as you wish…”

Zhou Kai looked at Qin Qing suspiciously, then at the phone on her desk, “What are you laughing at? Which kid is calling you?”

“Kid?” Qin Qing nodded, “It’s a rather scheming kid.”

“Yo,” Zhou Kai’s heart was aroused, “Why did you say she’s scheming? Wasn’t she just being clingy to you?”

“Clingy?” Qin Qing was puzzled.

“Wasn’t she?” Zhou Kai pinched his voice and imitated Li Suimei, mimicking her sweet and coquettish tone, “You’re not here…”

Qin Qing’s breath hitched, and she suddenly lowered her head and smiled. She picked up a nearby document, rolled it into a tube, and threw it at Zhou Kai, “What a mess.”

Zhou Kai dodged, “It is a mess. I’m a rough guy, how can I learn to act like a little girl?”

“Hey, what do you plan to do with that girl from the Li family?”

Qin Zhan picked up a pen, “Zhan’er likes that kid.”

Zhou Kai: “Oh, I understand. Then don’t have anything with that girl.”

Qin Qing looked up, slightly displeased at his ambiguous tone, “What are you talking about?”

“Am I talking nonsense?”

“Aren’t you bisexual, Qin Qing? Didn’t the youngest daughter of the Li family publicly reject your brother? Everyone in City A knows that girl is arrogant and spoiled. How come she’s so docile when she comes to the Qin family and meets you?”

“Don’t you think something is wrong?”

Qin Qing glanced sideways and her gaze fell on the quiet phone.

Zhou Kai: “And you bought the company that was a competitor of the Li family. Is this girl trying to curry favor with you, or is she trying to win Qin Zhan back? Don’t you understand?”

“Isn’t she using Qin Zhan’s name to approach you?”

Qin Qing tapped her fingers on the desk, making a dull, crisp sound.

“So what if she is? Zhan’er likes her. After the marriage, it’s only natural to help the Li family.” She only answered the first question.

Zhou Kai clicked his tongue, “You’re so open-minded. You’re almost 30, an old woman, oh, an unmarried old woman. Your perspective is really different!”

Qin Qing sneered, “Get out.”

“Okay, okay, I’m out!”

The office became quiet. Qin Qing picked up her phone and looked at it again. In WeChat, the new friend she had just added, a string of gibberish, was quietly sitting in the chat interface.

—“Using Qin Zhan’s name to approach you!”

Qin Qing tapped the phone screen, her fingertips lightly touching it. Li Suimei’s avatar was clicked open, it was a bird, colorful, spreading its wings towards the sky.

What does this mean?

Is she trying to climb the social ladder?

Qin Qing paused, remembering the many suitors who had pursued her with various clumsy and funny methods.

Some of them were so shy that they couldn’t even speak to her face, but they dared to scold her online?

Whether it was true or not, Qin Qing thought that her charm had indeed attracted many men and women. Even if it wasn’t to prevent Li Suimei from having feelings for her, she should keep her distance from her brother and sister-in-law.

Her finger tapped the screen. Just before she pressed the delete button, Qin Qing snorted and laughed.

What was she thinking?

That was ridiculous.

T/N: Meimei really does have a motive for approaching you…
