The Transmigration Missions Are Not Scientific Ch.16

Chapter 16-Campus novel (15)

“Hello everyone, pardon me, I didn’t introduce myself last time. I’m Shangguan Qing’s brother. The name is Shangguan Ying.” Shang Guanying greeted everyone with a smile.

“Greetings, Brother Ying.” Song Wenyan shifted his attention from the Duan Hongwu who was accepting congratulations from various parties to Shangguan Ying for one second, before turning back again to watch Duan Hongwu.  

“Hello, Mr. Shangguan.” Gu Anran already disliked Shangguan Ying, so naturally she didn’t have a good attitude towards him, but performed a perfunctory nod and forced out a smile. 

It’s him again! That man!  Mu Qingli stared intently at the ‘love rival’ before her with alertness. Last time he stole Little Ran’s attention, what’s he going to do this time? Don’t tell me he’s actually interested in little Ran? No! This absolutely cannot happen! Little Ran is mine! She can only be mine! 

Facing her ‘love rival’ with increasing hostility, Mu Qingli decided to ignore Shangguan Ying’s greeting. Hmph! Dare to steal my Little Ran and still expect me to smile, hmph, no way!!! Thinking like this, in order to scare off this ‘love rival’ Mu Qingli moved closer to Gu Anran until they were only a finger width apart from each other. 

Gu Anran gave Mu Qingli a strange look, but didn’t say anything. Naturally, she also didn’t notice the provocative glare Mu Qingli sent towards Shangguan Ying. 

As for Hong Qingyi, she completely ignored Shangguan Ying. In her opinion, her Yan Yan is the most important! This man isn’t that great either, what can he do? Just looking at him hurts my eyes!

And finally Chi Mengyan mearly observed Shangguan Ying as she enjoyed the fawning treatment by Hong Qingyi. In fact, she not only noticed Gu Anran’s dislike towards Shangguan Ying, she also noticed Shangguan Ying’s weird obsession over Mu Qingli. Ever since Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan became friends, there has been no shortage of these type of weirdos approaching Mu Qingli. Perhaps it was because Mu Qingli was relatively insensitive to these kinds of things because she never noticed it. Chi Mengyan couldn’t really directly tell Mu Qingli, and would always subtly find a way to distance themselves from these troubles. But now the weirdo was the rich and powerful Shangguan Ying, what could she do? Should she let Little Ran handle it? 

Of the five people gathered here, because of a few words from Shangguan Ying the atmosphere turned cold. Except for Song Wenyan’s perfunctory greeting and Gu Anran’s polite gestures, everyone else ignored Shangguan Ying. 

A dark flash glimmered in Shangguan Ying’s eyes for a moment. Previously, all who he had met would fight to greet him. He was like the emperor, the moon above the stars, who would dare to treat him so coldly? However, seeing Mu Qingli wink (glare) at him, his mood improved slightly. Of course, with such a beautiful appearance, she must be a dignified woman. The beauty must be afraid to greet him because she might come across as unrefined. Yes, a woman like her must not lose her grace.

No need to explain, the two Shangguan siblings had similar thinking, always beautifying themselves. Except one thought of themselves as a princess and the other was even more crazy, thinking himself as an emperor. Was it because they were produced from the same family? Or is it because the hereditary disease was too severe? 

“Ahem, how are the dishes for the banquet today? Are they per your palette? If not, is there something we can improve?”

Yes, you improve by kicking out all those with a hereditary disease of harming others. Of course, Gu Anran could only say this in her heart, not aloud. 

And so, all five continued to stay silent, leaving Shangguan Ying hanging and inwardly flustered at the lack of response. 

In the face of this situation, Shangguan Ying’s fists were trembling slightly, but he had to maintain his gentlemanly facade, so in the end he forced a small smile towards the five people,

“I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do, so I will be leaving first.”

Of course, there was still no response. Since the other party did not give him face, Shangguan Ying couldn’t stay here, nodded towards them, turned around and walked away.

While turning his head, he sneered coldly, and then touched a small packet of medicine powder in his pocket as he walked outside. 

The departure of Shang Guanying let Mu Qingli breathe a sigh of relief. The ‘love rival’ has left! Time to celebrate! And then she continued to happily share food with Gu Anran.

Gu Anran stabbed a piece of fish on a fork Mu Qingli had given her and was about to eat it when a 「fragrant」smell drifted up her nose. 

“Brother Yan~~So, you’ve been over here this entire time?” Shangguan Qing walked arm in arm with Duan Hongwu and at the same time shot a disdainful glare at Gu Anran and the others (especially Mu Qingli), deliberately tightening her grasp on Duan Hongwu. She even lifted her chin, but was completely oblivious to the blue veins popping on Duan Hongwu’s forehead.

Aiya?!! Is the act of ignoring a person’s feelings and words the inheritance of the Shangguan family? The father is like this, the daughter even more so! This inheritance sure is thorough! Gu Anran sneered as she thought of this.

“Shangguan Qing, you go over there first, I have something to do.” Duan Hongwu broke out from Shangguan Qing’s arms and tried not to show the impatience and disgust he felt in his heart on his face.

“Eh? Brother Wu, is something the matter?” Shangguan Qing stretched out her hands and tried to cling to Duan Hongwu again but was avoided, and she ended up looking at Duan Hongwu with pleading eyes.

Seeing Shang Guanqing’s eyes made Duan Hongwu even more annoyed, and he coldly said, 

“Go and find you friends. Don’t bother me”

Biting her lip, Shangguan Qing stomped away with red eyes, and then gave Gu Anran and others an angry glance, as if they were culprits who caused all this, and then left unwillingly.

She’s crazy. Gu Anran carelessly drinked her juice, ignoring Shangguan Qing’s naive and brainless behavior.

From a distance, Shangguan Yi watched Duan Hongwu’s treatment towards his daughter and his expression darkened. Walking into a dark corner, he waved a waiter over, then said a few words, giving the waiter something. Then he waved his hand again and the waiter nodded before walking away. Then Shangguan Yi sorted his clothes as if nothing happened, and went to the bar for a glass of red wine. After getting his drink, he once again entered the crowd, laughing and talking with others.

“Hu…I’m exhausted to death…”Sitting on the sofa, he scratched his hair, his face showing tiredness.

En? Gu Anran felt that something was weird as she glanced at the Song Wenyan sitting on the far right and Duan Hongwu sitting on the far left. OMG! What a disaster! The ultra, super couple has unexpectedly….broken up!

“You two…” The die hard fujoshi, Hong Qingyi, took the lead in questioning, but was interrupted by Duan Hongwu.

“I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat first.” Then he stood up and quickly walked  to the bar.

“Wu…..” The Song Wenyan who originally opened his mouth, then stopped, his expression growing darker.

“Wenyan, you and Hongwu…” Mu Qingli couldn’t help asking.

“”It’s nothing … it’s a matter between the two of us, you don’t have to worry.” After saying so, Song Wenyan lowered his head and ate the food on the plate silently, the depression on his face didn’t lessen at all.

「Side mission (mandatory): Will the two players please leave the venue immediately. Be careful, do not let others follow you.」

Gu Anran stopped her action of putting food into her mouth, stood up and placed the empty plate on the tray of a waiter passing by. Smoothing the wrinkles on her dress, she said,

“I’m going to the bathroom.” 

“Ah! Do I need to go with you?” Mu Qingli immediately asked.

“No need. I’ll be back soon. You should go and see if there’s any more food left.” Gu Anran shook her hands.

“I’ll go too, I need to go to the bathroom too!” Hong Qingyi stood up and followed Gu Anran out of the venue. 

As soon as the two left, a scheme began! 

In a hidden corner, a waiter said something to the one standing in the dark, and then handed the person something. Then he quickly left. 

The person in the dark watched the waiter’s retreating back and sneered, stepping out of the shadows. It was the Shangguan Ying who had left earlier, and the waiter was the same one Shangguan Yi was talking to earlier. 

Shangguan Ying looked at the bag of white powder in his hands, a sinister smile on his face. He pulled out an exact same bag from his pocket and recalled the waiter’s instructions, a mocking look flashing in his eyes.

How could that kid, Duan Hongwu, fall in love with a woman like Shangguan Qing, a woman who wears strong makeup and has a moody temperament, with no redeeming aspects. If it wasn’t because my parents dote on her so much, I wouldn’t act like such a kind older brother. Otherwise, who else would pay attention to this disrespectful lass who would request the sun and moon, always involving people into her mess. How annoying.

Never in a thousand years, would Shangguan Qing realize that her kind and doting older brother actually thought of her like this.

And like a toy, he threw the medicine up and down in his hands. Since father wants to use drugs to strengthen the relationship between Duan Hongwu and Shangguan Qing, it should be fine if I get some benefits from this too. A certain girl appeared in his mindset and he could not help licking his lips.

To make oneself the victim and reaping all the benefits. In the end, it was the usual tactics used by Shangguan Ying. He didn’t care if you were his relative, he only cared for power and results.

It seems that with this opportunity and the information currently in his hands, he could finally topple his father from his position and take over the Shangguan family once and for all. Finally he would be able to crush the Duan and Song families beneath his feet, and quickly skyrocket to becoming the number one company in the business world. 

As if he could see his success in front of him, Shangguan Ying let out an ugly smile.

Da..da..da….Hearing footsteps, Shangguan Ying narrowed his eyes immediately then instantly morphed his expression into the previous gentle one. Then he turned around and brushed passed two girls.

And the two passing girls were Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi.
