47: Chapter 47 Accidentally Entering the Imperial Family: The True Noble Male Supporting Character 8

Just like that, she added Meng Zhu on WeChat and even chatted, but Qiao Chuxia did not push her luck.

The request for advice she mentioned that day was actually just a casual remark; for her to truly interact with Meng Zhu on equal footing was actually quite difficult.

Fortunately, Meng Zhu was not in a hurry; patience is a very good quality.

Sometimes, Qiao Chuxia would open the chat box and look at that simple green bamboo profile picture, her finger hovering above the screen, yet she wouldn't type anything.

He had his business empire to manage, and she had her coursework to study.

Perhaps their meeting was merely a coincidence in the vast sea of people, a brief interlude in the thousands of interesting events.

Moreover, Qiao Chuxia was inherently an independent and self-reliant person; she would simply close her phone silently and continue living her own life.

But, how could the female lead's life possibly be calm?

...

As everyone knows, the more minor the villain, the more persistent they are.

People like Ye Youyou are hard to truly awaken; only when she is about to die will she realize she was wrong.

At the same time, Chu Yunting continued to keep an eye on Qiao Chuxia.

Ye Youyou's malicious intentions were also heard by him firsthand.

If you ask why it was such a coincidence, it is of course because Chu Yunting is the male lead, what else could it be?

That afternoon, he was wandering around the school and accidentally heard a familiar voice.

It was Ye Youyou making a phone call.

"Young Master Sun, don't worry, she's just a wild girl who was only brought back by the Qiao Family in high school, and even her own family doesn't like her."

"Yes... you have to help me teach her a lesson..."

The voice was intermittent, but Chu Yunting still understood the general meaning.

Looking at the sinister expression on Ye Youyou's face after she hung up the phone,

Chu Yunting frowned even more deeply.

The only person from the Sun Family who could be used as a tool by Ye Youyou was Sun Hao, whose family background was comparable to Chu Yunting's.

However, this person was slightly older and was not a student at Tianhai.

Looking at it this way, Ye Youyou indeed had concerns and only dared to make a move outside the school.

Without hesitation, Chu Yunting told Qiao Chuxia about this matter.

In a sense, the personality of someone like Chu Yunting is actually very simple; one can even tell at a glance that he is the type of person who cannot tell a lie.

Therefore, although she felt it was a bit of a coincidence, Qiao Chuxia still believed him.

Chu Yunting found her in the library, his tone very solemn.

"I know a bit about this Sun Hao; he is not the type of person who follows the rules. You had better stay at school and not go out casually."

Qiao Chuxia rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Then can I never leave the school gate forever?"

"Forget it, I will be careful. Thank you for telling me all this."

"Why be so polite?"

Chu Yunting paused.

"However, if you want to go out, you can tell me. With this young master accompanying you, it will naturally be safe."

Qiao Chuxia looked up at him, somewhat surprised, and then burst out laughing.

"Then you're actually quite a nice person!"

"By the way, Chu Yunting, why are you helping me so much?"

"It's nothing, I just... I just wanted to be friends with you."

Chu Yunting touched his nose, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Qiao Chuxia looked at him. Although sometimes his way of speaking made her uncomfortable and she couldn't agree with some of his ideas,

he had indeed been helping her all along, and Qiao Chuxia could distinguish his good intentions.

"Fine, Chu Yunting."

Qiao Chuxia said sincerely, "Then I accept you as a friend."

Chu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

...

[What are you laughing at? Creepy, immature, such a turn-off.]

[Damn, you female fans are really exaggerating, it's not that bad.]

[Exactly, as of now, Chu Yunting is at least qualified to be a friend.]

[Forget it. To boast about protecting someone just because of a bit of male chauvinism and the desire to play the hero saving the damsel—isn't that a turn-off?]

[And he's immature. I remember in the original work, he was stupid enough not to bring bodyguards, thinking Sun Hao would give him some face.]

[And he didn't?]

[Ha, it turns out Sun Hao didn't come at all; the thugs who came didn't even know Chu Yunting.]

[Later, they were all in a pathetic state and ran away miserably.]

[Talking about going through thick and thin together, laughing to death, it was purely self-inflicted.]

[Hard to say. As the young master of the Chu Family, knowing there was danger, why didn't he call for some bodyguards?]

[That's why I say it's a turn-off, immature, self-righteous, and brainless.]

[Oh please, when you were students, didn't you also like this kind of blonde guy?]

[I just hope the female lead stays strong. If it's like the original work, where the male supporting character comes to steal her away after the male and female leads are together, then I won't watch it. I like pure love!]

[I don't think Meng Zhu is the type of person who would steal someone away.]

"That's perfectly said!"

Meng Zhu watched the comments boredly, agreeing with this statement in his heart.

In both of his lifetimes, he was inherently a chosen orphan.

If it weren't for someone like Su Qingxue firmly choosing him and loving him with such fiery intensity, he would never have accepted it.

If the male and female leads were already together, expecting Meng Zhu to try to steal her away would be impossible; he wasn't that idle.

However, right now, Meng Zhu couldn't just watch Chu Yunting and Qiao Chuxia get closer and closer.

Thinking of the information just discussed in the comments, Meng Zhu couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

He glanced at his assistant.

"Assistant Chen Yuan, after you resolved the school matter, has that Ye Youyou quieted down?"

Assistant Chen Yuan was slightly stunned; if asked about Qiao Chuxia's recent situation, he could answer immediately.

But asking about Ye Youyou, he was really stumped; she was such a minor character that he had almost forgotten her.

"Boss, are you saying she is still targeting Miss Qiao Chuxia?"

"Sometimes ignorant people are more annoying than villains."

"Go check it out and keep an eye on her."

Assistant Chen Yuan's expression turned serious, and he was about to respond and leave.

"Wait!"

Before he left, Meng Zhu called him back.

"Assistant Chen Yuan, have you guys ever thought that I might be paying too much attention to Qiao Chuxia?"

Hearing this, Assistant Chen Yuan stiffened, quickly becoming panicked.

"Boss, you..."

"I know, you are the people who understand me best, so it's normal to feel strange."

Meng Zhu ignored him, stood up by himself, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"That was a matter from many years ago..."

It was necessary to tell Assistant Chen Yuan about the things from his childhood.

He had to let his confidants understand the special significance of Qiao Chuxia.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about many things himself; with their abilities, they would naturally handle things thoroughly and properly.

Letting these assistants keep guessing might actually spoil things.

...

On the other side, the scene switched to a certain weekend.

Liu Yiyi pulled Qiao Chuxia to go shopping.

Qiao Chuxia was a bit hesitant.

"What's wrong? Staying in school every day, you're going to get moldy!"

Liu Yiyi glared.

"Qiao Chuxia, you aren't going to become a homebody, are you!"

Qiao Chuxia sighed and briefly told her about what Chu Yunting had told her.

After listening, Liu Yiyi stomped her feet in anger:

"That bitch Ye Youyou! To think she could be so excessive!"

"Then what should we do? We can't never go out, right? Why don't we call Chu Yunting?"

Hiding wouldn't work; in fact, Qiao Chuxia also wanted to see what exactly that Sun Hao wanted to do.

One could only say, whether it was a lack of experience or just being too naive.

In short, the three of them discussed it and just went out like that.

They mainly went to a nearby commercial street, bought things, ate, and didn't return until evening.

Along the way, Chu Yunting was very vigilant, intentionally or unintentionally observing the situation around them.

Qiao Chuxia was also a bit uneasy at first, but later, when nothing happened, she gradually relaxed.

Until the day passed.

Everything was very calm.

No accidents occurred.

On the way back to school, Qiao Chuxia was a bit puzzled:

"Chu Yunting, do you think that Sun Hao might have been fobbing off Ye Youyou, or didn't agree at all?"

Chu Yunting shook his head: "Unlikely."

Liu Yiyi, however, was very optimistic.

"Oh, it's impossible to watch someone every single second anyway. Maybe that Sun Hao had something to do today? Why think so much? Isn't it good that we're safe?"

[I'm speechless, do they think this is playing house?]

[Getting a few people to watch twenty-four hours a day is simply too easy, okay!]

The comments were ranting wildly where they couldn't see.

Meng Zhu was also paying attention, but he was focused on the information from the comments on the other side.

Not far from where Qiao Chuxia and the other two were, in a nearby alley.

A dozen men were being pressed to the ground, unable to move.

"Who are you people? Do you know who we are?"

No matter how they clamored, the people standing there didn't speak, just looked at them coldly.

The leader narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"Take them all back; interrogate them in detail."

After everyone left, the man stood in place, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Assistant Chen Yuan, it's done. There weren't many people, just over a dozen."

"Good, keep them for now."

Assistant Chen Yuan's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Also, hurry up with the interrogation. Once you're done, organize it and send it to me."

"Yes."
