Chapter 703: Chapter 1: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Abused Heroine (Part 1)

"Lai Lai, what should I do? She loves him, but I’m really not good enough for him. How could I possibly keep him for myself when he’s so outstanding?

But every time I want to fulfill his wishes to be with his fiancée, he hurts me in the name of love.

Lai Lai, what should I do?"

Jiang Lai just opened her eyes and saw the girl sitting across from her crying with a face like pear blossoms in rain.

Her palm-sized face with delicate features, paired with a simple and rustic ponytail at the back of her head, and dressed in a simple but elegant white dress, made her seem to glow.

Seeing the other party’s red, tear-stained eyes, Jiang Lai, still disoriented, simply responded.

"If it works out, stay; if not, leave."

Concise and seasoned, eight words of wisdom.

The girl across from her looked at Jiang Lai, reluctant to part.

"Do you also think I should leave him?"

"..."

Jiang Lai instinctively felt she shouldn’t speak at this moment.

She had just arrived in this world, hadn’t had time to receive the memories, so speaking more might lead to more mistakes, hence she chose to remain silent.

The girl across continued mumbling to herself.

"Yes, you’re right. Leaving him is the best choice. Let me bear all the pain alone. I don’t want his reputation to be damaged, and I don’t want him to feel any suffering, boo hoo hoo... Lai Lai, is love always this painful?"

Jiang Lai looked at her performance expressionlessly, maintaining silence.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from behind.

"Zhaozhao, why aren’t you answering my calls? Why are you deliberately avoiding me?"

Jiang Lai turned her head and saw a tall man in a suit standing behind her, standing at 1.8 meters. She could immediately tell his clothes were expensive, and with that impeccably handsome face, Jiang Lai instantly understood.

It looks like these two are the male and female leads.

The woman called Zhaozhao stood up to leave.

The man took a big step and easily caught up to her, gripping her wrist tightly.

"What’s going on? Why won’t you talk to me?"

Zhaozhao cried even more pitifully and sadly, sobbing.

"Lai Lai is right, I’m not worthy of you. I shouldn’t continue making things difficult for you. Let go of me and let me go!"

With that, a piercing, cold gaze swept over.

Jiang Lai, who was a bit thirsty and about to take a sip of coffee, "?"

Did she ever say that?

"Jiang Lai, if you meddle in matters between Zhaozhao and me again, don’t blame me for making sure you can never speak again!"

So brutal, so domineering, so unreasonable.

Jiang Lai clutched her chest, feeling the lingering memories in her body—a sense of fear.

This is called a threat, right?

Frightened, Jiang Lai picked up the phone and dialed 110.

"Hello, Police? Someone threatened my life; I’m so scared."

Dominating male lead: "?"

Little white flower female lead: "??"

In the end, the police came.

After understanding the situation, the female lead, who was crying and wanted to break up with the male lead before, now stood next to the male lead speaking for him.

"Li Han didn’t say that, it’s my friend who heard wrong.

Jiang Lai, please clarify—you can’t make such a big scene over this small matter."

Jiang Lai looked terrified.

"I didn’t hear wrong, I recorded it. Police, please listen."

Then, the male lead’s deep and magnetic voice clearly came out of the phone.

"...making sure you can never speak again!"

Jiang Lai’s eyes turned red.

"If this isn’t a threat to one’s life, then what is it? I’m so afraid; I feel emotionally hurt. I need to go to the hospital for a check-up. My heart is beating so fast, I can hardly breathe."

With irrefutable evidence, the police walked up to the male lead, business-like.

"Mr. Fu, please cooperate with the investigation, and take the lady to the hospital for a check-up."

"Do you know who I am?"

Fu Lihan looked dissatisfied.

"No matter who you are, threatening others is wrong."

Finally, with more and more people watching, Fu Lihan, not wanting to waste any more time, directly threw out a card.

"No password, there’s a million in it—use it for a thorough check-up yourself!"

Carrying around a million without a password—truly the male lead; Jiang Lai likes it.

Having accepted the money, Jiang Lai was, of course, willing to reconcile.

Watching the female lead being dragged into the car by the male lead, Jiang Lai returned to her seat, looked at the card in front of her, and leisurely took a sip of fruit tea.

"I didn’t expect this—you actually took his money. Weren’t you always someone who considered money like dirt?"

Jiang Lai never lacked money, so Little Buding always thought she would refuse the Domineering President’s card and then punish him in another way.

Unexpectedly, she straightforwardly accepted the card.

"You don’t understand... this body gives me the feeling of a cactus growing in the desert... that is, a very strong desire for money.

So, the original owner was very short of money."

Since money was scarce, getting more of it shouldn’t go wrong by following the feeling.

Little Buding admired and gave a thumbs up.

Amazing, truly amazing. As expected of Jiang Lai, she could guess even that.

"Alright, transmit the plot."

"Plot transmitting... plot transmission complete."

Jiang Lai slowly opened her eyes after receiving all the plot and memories, stared ahead, and then slowly exhaled.

"Why are there miserable buffs stacking here? Is there anyone in this world worse off than me?"

"Logically, no."

This time, Jiang Lai was sent into an old-fashioned tragic romance novel, had just met the novel’s male and female leads, Fu Lihan and Zhao Zhaozhao.

The entire plot setting was incredibly clichéd and melodramatic.

The grassroots female lead met the Domineering President male lead during a bar part-time job, seeing the male lead being pestered by the bar girls, stepped forward to wrap her arm around his, pretending to be his girlfriend to help him out.

Thus, the seed of love was planted there.

The male lead found the Little White Flower female lead pure and beautiful, loving her uncontrollably.

But after finding out about the male lead’s identity, the female lead became inferior and sensitive, intentionally distancing herself from him repeatedly, fearing she might be a burden.

Subsequently, the two separated repeatedly, only to reconcile again and again, in between which the male lead’s fiancée intervened, disrupting the main couple’s relationship.

Yet in the end, the fiancée was still defeated by the pure female lead and left in disgrace.

Such a plot lacks novelty, with predictable plot developments.

She fled; he pursued, leaving her no chance to escape.

Until Jiang Lai saw the original owner’s plot, she didn’t realize that in tragic romance stories, there were characters even more miserable than the female lead.

The original Jiang Lai was the female lead’s best girlfriend.

Every time the female lead faced setbacks in her relationship, she would come to her best friend for comfort.

The original owner would always be on her side to comfort her.

Until one time Zhao Zhaozhao was imprisoned by the male lead, and with great difficulty, the original owner helped her to escape. The male lead was furious and directly caused the original owner to lose her job and sent people to smash her mother’s shop, warning the original owner not to interfere in his and Zhao Zhaozhao’s relationship again.

Having lost her job and implicated her mother, the original owner was still worried about her best friend’s safety and originally offered her place for the female lead to hide.
