Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 19

“So, she just did that, nothing else?” Jiang Lingdan sprawled on her beanbag chair, which occupied a small portion of the floor space in their double dorm room, looking at Zuo Baixuan in surprise.

Since childhood, Jiang Lingdan’s family had treated her like a little princess, sparing no expense on her living conditions. So, when she had the chance to change dorms in her sophomore year, she opted for the most expensive double dorm on campus.

Jiang immediately roped in Zuo Baixuan and covered half of the dorm fees, claiming she needed someone to take care of her. Zuo couldn’t refuse her and accepted the favor.

Zuo Baixuan, a senior, didn’t have a busy schedule and had no classes on Monday, so she only came to the dorm after her morning classes today.

Jiang Lingdan had been holding it in since Friday night when she found out her best friend was going to meet the crazy scumbag’s parents, and now, after three and a half days, she finally heard the whole story from Zuo Baixuan, but it was unexpectedly uneventful.

“What do you mean by that? It sounds like you’re not satisfied that nothing happened to me?” Zuo Baixuan was both amused and exasperated.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant at all! It’s just that, from your description, Luan Yenan seems completely different from the rumors, not as crazy.” Jiang Lingdan pondered.

She even thought, “Could it be that she really fell in love with you at first sight and turned over a new leaf?” but didn’t voice it out loud. It seemed too bizarre.

Zuo Baixuan also recalled the night before last.

After closing her eyes, she regretted calling Luan Yenan a “crazy woman” but instead of getting angry, Luan laughed heartily and then asked, “Can you sleep peacefully now?”

Luan Yenan’s breathing soon steadied, and she fell asleep.

Zuo Baixuan had intended to stay awake all night, stubbornly resisting, but she too eventually dozed off.

The next morning, she woke up startled to find Luan Yenan gone.

Only a dent in the sheets remained on the bed.

She went downstairs to look.

The Luan family of three was sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Zuo Baixuan couldn’t forget that clear morning after the rain, with the refreshing weather. All the windows were open, filling the air with the scent of wet grass and the coolness of the early morning.

She also remembered the hot milk Luan Yenan brought over with a smile, warming her to the core.

Thinking of this, Zuo Baixuan’s hands involuntarily clenched.

She really couldn’t understand what Luan Yenan was up to.

Seeing Zuo Baixuan silent for a long time, Jiang Lingdan pressed, “What’s wrong, Little Zuo? Zuo, the top student!”

Zuo Baixuan snapped out of it and shook her head, “Nothing, I was just thinking, Luan Yenan is indeed strange. You’re right, these past few days, her behavior has been different from the rumors. Especially since we returned from the Luan family, she’s been locking herself in the study all day except for meal times.”

“She hasn’t bothered me, giving me plenty of freedom. Her only request is that I occasionally cook for her. I don’t even have to act like a docile little rabbit, just do some housework. It’s like being a part-time nanny.”

“Being a nanny is good, otherwise, would you prefer her to treat you like a wife?” Jiang Lingdan, always quick with her words, couldn’t resist making a playful comment when she thought her friend’s situation wasn’t so bad.

She immediately earned a glare from Zuo Baixuan.

Jiang Lingdan cleared her throat and opened a bag of chips to change the subject, “No wonder you submitted your task so quickly this time. The client even praised your coding.”

Zuo Baixuan’s attention was caught, “How did they praise it?”

“The client said: ‘Hmm!'” Jiang Lingdan said seriously.

This response was within Zuo Baixuan’s expectations. She laughed, “Your standard for ‘praise’ is too low!”

“You know this client, getting an extra ‘hmm’ is already a compliment, isn’t it? Anyway, that’s not the point, continue with Luan Yenan’s story.” Jiang Lingdan offered the chips.

Zuo Baixuan waved her hand, declining the chips, and leaned against the desk, “The strangest thing is about the bank card. She clearly wanted to scam money from the two mothers. But when they gave her an allowance and said I should manage the money, she actually gave it to me and didn’t take it back.”

“So, she’s really not crazy anymore?” Jiang Lingdan didn’t understand.

Zuo Baixuan just shook her head, firmly stating, “No, I think she’s even crazier.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say she didn’t do anything to you?” Jiang Lingdan was confused, “Wait, is she planning to sue you after you spend the money?”

Zuo Baixuan bit her lip, “It’s not about that. I don’t know how to explain ‘even crazier,’ she really seems like a different person, no more extreme behaviors, but that’s what scares me more.”

“Why?” Jiang Lingdan didn’t get it.

Yes, why?

Zuo Baixuan rubbed her temples, recalling the moment she couldn’t help but call Luan Yenan a “crazy woman.”

“Because her madness is hidden in her calmness. She might drive me crazy.”

Jiang Lingdan squinted at Zuo Baixuan.

This statement felt oddly strange.

After all, phrases like “might drive me crazy” were something she’d only heard from other friends describing their partners.

Could a forcefully married partner also be considered a “partner”?

“Is there a possibility that you’re also a bit crazy? Agreeing to marry Luan Yenan is already outrageous.” Jiang Lingdan muttered softly.

Jiang Lingdan didn’t quite understand what was going on between these two. But at least she felt that Zuo Baixuan’s treatment at the Luan family was much better than at her bl00d-sucking adoptive parents’ home.

Looking at the gold ring on Zuo Baixuan’s finger and the gold necklace around her neck, although not as valuable as diamond rings and designer jewelry, they were more suitable for a college student.

Jiang Lingdan suddenly remembered that Zuo Baixuan was still a college student.

She slapped her thigh, “I almost forgot to tell you the important news. There’s a rumor that Professor Chen’s project team has finally found a suitable member, heard to be directly hired as a visiting professor. The announcement might be today. Didn’t you always want to join Professor Chen’s project team?”

“You can get insider news before it’s even announced. Your intelligence network is so good, it’s a waste not to be a spy.” Zuo Baixuan never doubted Jiang Lingdan’s information network.

Jiang Lingdan could be considered a social butterfly.

She got along well with seniors and juniors right after entering school, became the forum moderator in her freshman year, took over the campus confession wall and public account in her sophomore year, and in her junior year, she even started a part-time job platform with Zuo Baixuan, which was recognized by the school as a graduation project.

While others were still worrying about employment, she was already creating job opportunities.

“Not bad, not bad. But I’m more curious about who this person is that made Professor Chen use her connections to hire as a visiting professor. Professor Chen is notoriously difficult, that’s why the project couldn’t find a collaborator for so long. It started in our sophomore year, and now we’re seniors. This time, not only did they find a collaborator, but she also personally opened the back door.”

Jiang Lingdan chattered as she poured the last of the chip crumbs into her mouth.

Zuo Baixuan was about to respond when her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Seeing Zuo Baixuan unmoved, Jiang Lingdan opened her computer interface, “By the way, you might not be interested in this, but I still have to tell you.”

Zuo Baixuan looked down, seeing the notification on her phone from the monitoring software she installed on her computer, and immediately tensed up.

Today, she was wearing a bubble-sleeved shirt and a dark blue pinafore dress, a very ladylike outfit completely unsuitable for sports.

Yet, she lifted her cumbersome skirt and ran out.

Her exaggerated action startled Jiang Lingdan, “What? Is the house on fire?”

“Luan Yenan is messing with my computer!” Zuo Baixuan left a sentence and disappeared from the dorm.

That was more serious than the house being on fire.

Jiang Lingdan opened her mouth, too late to stop her.

She scratched her head, looking at the forum interface on her computer, several posts speculating about Zuo Baixuan and Luan Yenan’s marriage, more rampant than at the beginning of the semester.

She had deleted all the posts on the forum using her moderator privileges.

Here on the forum, she had also contacted the administrators to lock the violating posts, but she couldn’t stop everyone from bypassing the rules and continuing the discussion floor by floor.

The insider news about Professor Chen’s project decision certainly wasn’t known only to her.

Zuo Baixuan, being a top student with excellent character and scholarship, was definitely a prime candidate for the project.

At such a critical moment, with so many posts appearing, she couldn’t believe it wasn’t someone deliberately stirring up trouble.

“I didn’t even get to talk about this…” Jiang Lingdan was a bit worried, finally deciding to send Zuo Baixuan an email.
