After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 2

The driver turned the car around and drove away, leaving Li Suimei and her luggage at the door. She stood there, looking at the slender and graceful figure in the distance under the green lawn, her hands and feet involuntarily turning cold, and her face turning pale.

A maid came to help her with her luggage, but Li Suimei just stood there, clutching her small bag.

“Miss Li?”

“Ah?” Li Suimei came to her senses.

The maid followed her gaze and smiled, “You haven’t met the Young Miss yet, have you? The Young Miss doesn’t come back often…”

Everyone she knew spoke highly of Qin Qing.

In the Qin family, the old master had passed away, the father wasn’t good at business, and Qin Zhan was frail. Qin Qing, at a young age, had already taken the reins of power.

She was intelligent, beautiful, powerful, and wealthy. At only 28, she had already ascended to the top of the Qin Corporation. In the original book, the number of fans who liked Qin Qing could rival that of the protagonist.

Fans liked her not only because of Qin Qing’s superior qualities but also because, in the original book, she was the main culprit behind the demise of the original female villain!

Li Suimei clenched her fist.

She remembered that, as fellow supporting characters, Qin Qing had fewer scenes than her, but whenever she appeared, she was described in vivid detail.

In the book, her many grievances against Li Suimei had been foreshadowed!

Entering the Qin family was like entering a tiger’s den. Li Suimei was very nervous about having to spend every day with someone who hated her so much that she would eventually kill her…

“Miss Li?” the maid waved her hand in front of her.

Li Suimei came to her senses and turned to meet Qin Zhan’s gaze.

“What’s wrong?”

Qin Zhan: “Meimei, what are you looking at?”

That day, Li Suimei officially moved into the Qin family.

She was assigned to a room at the end of the corridor. The room seemed cramped compared to her room at the Li family’s. Her seven or eight suitcases of personal belongings and clothes had nowhere to go, and the room even had a musty smell from lack of use.

Li Suimei sighed. She had been there for quite a while, but she hadn’t even seen the elders of the Qin family. She had already been given a cold welcome.

The book said that the original character was deeply loved by the elders of the Qin family, but she didn’t know if that was still the case.

Fortunately, the servants didn’t dare to neglect her. Several people helped her tidy up the room and open the windows for ventilation. Li Suimei was in the room, slowly arranging her cosmetics.

Soon, the small table in front of her was full.

Li Suimei: “……”

Feeling a little bored, Li Suimei opened her phone and clicked on WeChat, which she hadn’t checked in a few days.

There were so many messages that it was almost overflowing.

As a young miss, Li Suimei had countless friends. A week ago, it was her 20th birthday party, and everyone she knew, and even those she didn’t, who could name her, Li Suimei, had come. If the villa hadn’t been big enough, and if they hadn’t set up tables in the backyard and on the 2nd floor, the crowd would have been so large that there wouldn’t even have been room to stand on the 1st floor.

It was under those circumstances that she had publicly rejected Qin Zhan’s confession.

Li Suimei didn’t take it to heart and didn’t listen to her parents’ advice.

As a result, three days later, the news of the Qin family acquiring a well-known local company and Li Suimei’s broken engagement, as well as the embarrassment of Young Master Qin running away, was on the newspapers.

The Qin family had been expanding their overseas business in recent years and had a reduced presence domestically, causing several old-established family businesses to look down on them. However, no one expected that Qin Qing would return to China after half a month and acquire a major company.

With such a grand gesture, everyone was preparing to offer an olive branch and test Qin Qing’s bottom line.

The Li family, with their existing betrothal between the younger generations, was the most likely to cooperate and establish a good relationship with the Qin family. However, before Li’s father could make a move, such a mishap occurred in the Li family.

The company that the Qin family acquired was comparable in strength to the Li family. There was also business competition between the two families. If Qin Qing played her cards right, she would have helped the Li family eliminate a major rival. If not, she would have transferred the competitive risk to the more powerful Qin family.

Li’s father raged, “I’ve spoiled you! You’ve developed such an arrogant and ignorant attitude!”

“You don’t give the Qin family face. Who knows if the Qin family will target our Li family next?”

Li Enhua’s roar was still ringing in her ears: “You! Get out of here and go to Haishi! When will the Qin family forgive you? Then you can come back!”

“Dad…”

Li Enhua waved his hand, “Your ticket has been booked. Go by yourself and apologize sincerely!”

Li Suimei snapped back to reality and sighed, holding her phone. “Sigh…”

She opened WeChat, and there were countless rumors, most of them were people saying nasty things to her under the guise of concern.

Li Suimei tapped and scrolled for a long time before realizing that the original character didn’t have a single reliable friend, only fake sisters!

There were even gossiping relatives who were saying things like, “Meimei is so willful. Marriage is supposed to be arranged by parents!”

Li Suimei felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples.

After the previous voice message finished playing, the next one started automatically.

“Oh dear! It seems she’s not really hurt, and she’s still acting like she’s going to die!”

“This girl is just stubborn. She said she would marry him when she hit her head a few days ago, but now that it doesn’t hurt anymore, she doesn’t want to marry him. She’s just being difficult!”

“I think this matter can’t be hidden. In my opinion…”

Li Suimei paused the voice message and threw her phone aside. She pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.

“What is Miss Li doing here?”

“Who knows? A young girl, shamelessly chasing after a man. Even the housekeeper doesn’t know about it! Look, you’ve only just been asked to clean the room…”

The maids lowered their voices, “I guess she saw the Young Miss come back and came to suck up to the Qin family!”

“Really? I see she still has a wound on her forehead. Is it the media making a fuss?”

“Tsk! There’s no smoke without fire!”

The two turned around after cleaning the windowsill and met Li Suimei’s eyes.

“…Miss, the room is clean.”

The maid was trembling.

Li Suimei nodded, “You may leave.”

The two quickly turned and left.

“Right!” Li Suimei turned around, calling out to them, and asked, “How long have the two of you been working at the Qin residence?”

The maids didn’t know what she meant and subconsciously tensed up, their lips tightly sealed.

Li Suimei narrowed her eyes, “Lost your tongues?”

“Half, half a year.”

“Hmm,” she raised an eyebrow and said, “The Qin family truly is a centuries-old family, with such kind hearts.”

“……”

Li Suimei smiled, “Do you know what happened to the last person who dared to gossip about the master in the Li family?”

The two maids were terrified, their legs gave way, and they fell to their knees with a thud!

Li Suimei moved her lips, “Get out.”

The maids retreated, leaving Li Suimei alone in the room.

It was evening, and the golden rays of the setting sun spilled onto the wooden windowsill. Li Suimei kicked off her shoes and socks and stepped onto it. The windowsill was about three meters above the ground outside. She wondered if jumping from this height would be enough to end her life cleanly and send her back to the real world.

Although she wasn’t as well-off or beautiful as the original character, at least she didn’t have the foresight to know her future, knowing that she would only live for another two years at most before dying at the hands of the owner of this villa, and she was powerless to change the plot of the original book.

Li Suimei carefully measured the distance, her eyes fixed on the green grass below, not noticing Qin Qing looking up at her from a distance.

From her perspective, the white figure on the windowsill was too eye-catching. Li Suimei was wearing a short-sleeved top and shorts, her arms and legs bare, like glowing porcelain.

Her ponytail was a little messy, sticking to her long, white neck, and the ends of her hair fell into her collar. Strands of hair on her forehead were damp and stuck to her face, and the setting sun had turned her face red, even the knees that were resting on the windowsill had a seductive blush.

Her knees were resting on the windowsill…

Qin Qing’s pupils constricted, and she quickly strode towards Li Suimei.

When she reached the windowsill, Qin Qing looked up slightly at Li Suimei and scolded coldly, “Are you trying to die?”

Li Suimei was startled, and her hand on the edge of the window almost slipped. Her body leaned forward slightly, her feet retreated, and then she froze in place in shock when she saw Qin Qing’s suddenly tense brows.

Seeing that the person had stabilized herself on the windowsill, Qin Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and looked at Li Suimei, wondering what kind of trick this arrogant little girl was trying to play.

Had Li Suimei come to the Qin residence not to reconcile with Qin Zhan, but to choose a place to jump off and commit suicide?

Seeing the shock and helplessness in Li Suimei’s eyes, Qin Qing frowned, “Don’t dirty the land of Qin Bay.”

“…….”

Li Suimei started crying.

Her lower lip trembled, and she started to shed tears in front of Qin Qing.

Qin Qing: “……”

Qin Qing reached out and wiped her cheek, feeling a wet drop, and her face darkened.

Li Suimei cried even harder, “Wuwuwu…”

“…Why are you standing so high if you’re afraid of dying?”

Li Suimei wiped away her tears and climbed down from the window, Qin Qing, hearing the sound of her landing, realized that the window of this room had a high design. The windowsill was very high, and Li Suimei didn’t seem tall enough. She must have needed to climb up and down to get on and off the windowsill.

That pose just now was for getting down, not for… jumping…

Qin Qing rubbed her forehead. Remembering that tearful face, if she wasn’t trying to jump, then why was she crying? Surely she wasn’t scared into crying?
