Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 263 - 1: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (1)
"How is it? Have you come around?"
Little Buding looked at Jiang Lai’s dazed expression with a hint of concern.
Fortunately, Jiang Lai snapped out of it after a moment of distraction, yawned, and nodded.
"Hmm, I’m okay." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Do you want to rest a bit more? You look as tired as a dog."
"Your mouth smells like dog shit."
"Good, you’re fine then, let’s start."
——
"I won’t get married! Why should I marry?! I refuse to marry such a cripple! What’s so great about him? How is he worthy of me?!"
"Lai Lai! You’re talking nonsense again! How can you say such disrespectful things in front of our distinguished guests?! Quickly apologize to Secretary Yang!"
"I won’t! Send anyone you like, but I’m not going!"
Before Jiang Lai’s consciousness fully adapted to this body, these words had already slipped out of her mouth.
By the time she was fully awake and aware, she was already in her room, lying on the bed, crying into her pillow.
"Hu—"
She took a deep breath, lifted her head, wiped away her tears, and turned to see in the not-so-distant mirror a face, tear-stained and sorrowful.
This is the original Jiang Lai, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family in the Imperial City, who was well-known in the socialite circle for her beauty and excellent grades.
The original’s unwilling and angry emotions were still influencing Jiang Lai as she washed her face.
"Memories? Begin transmission."
The prototype of this world is a book called "Marrying Substitute, I Conquered the Disabled Tycoon."
In the book, the female protagonist, Zhou Ruantian, was the daughter of an ordinary family, who only found out after going to college that she was actually the wrongly adopted daughter of the Jiang Family in the Imperial City.
Due to an accident over a decade ago, she had switched identities with another girl, living a life of poverty and hardship as the true heiress, while the fake heiress, Jiang Han, enjoyed the resources meant for her, living a life of luxury, and even secured an enviable marriage engagement; her fiancé was the most famous financial genius in the Imperial City, Zhao Sili.
Now the truth was revealed. The real heiress was brought back to the Jiang Family, but the fake heiress, who had lived in the Jiang Family for over ten years, could not accept the reality all of a sudden.
The Jiang parents, considering the bond formed over the years, allowed the fake heiress to continue living in the Jiang Family until she graduated from college, to give her time to adapt. As for the marriage, which was a business alliance, it eventually landed on the real heiress, Zhou Ruantian.
At this time, the original Jiang Lai had been forced to marry the most notorious disabled tycoon in the Capital City, Mo Zhoujing, who was rumored to be violent and unpredictable, with a chaotic private life, and once allegedly killed a lover in a drunken rage.
As a proud young woman, Jiang Lai naturally would not want to marry such a person, but she finally succumbed to Mo Zhoujing’s pressure and married him, and hated him to the extreme after marriage, thinking about divorce every day.
Mo Zhoujing was also very cold towards her, not only did he never touch her, but he rarely even saw her.
Just when the original had completely lost hope in love, she met her childhood sweetheart from campus. After a secret dinner, the two became inseparable, contacting each other more and more frequently.
In the end, Mo Zhoujing discovered Jiang Lai’s ambiguous relationship with another man and chose to divorce her, leaving her with nothing. She got a bad reputation for infidelity during the year of marriage, gaining nothing.
After the divorce, Jiang Lai eagerly ran into the arms of her childhood sweetheart, only to find out that the man who had always wanted to rescue her from suffering tearfully confessed that he had fallen in love with another girl.
That person was Zhou Ruantian.
Proud as Jiang Lai was, she couldn’t accept the change of heart, and in a rainy night, she directly kidnapped Zhou Ruantian. But what she didn’t expect was that Mo Zhoujing appeared at this moment, snatched the knife from her hand, and although supposedly disabled, he stood up, carried Zhou Ruantian away in a princess hold.
Before leaving, he coldly left a message.
"Deal with this cleanly, don’t let me see her again."
That night, the original quietly disappeared.
Soon, Mo Zhoujing held a grand wedding for Zhou Ruantian. Unlike with Jiang Lai, where they only got a certificate without even having a banquet, Mo Zhoujing not only invited Zhou Ruantian’s biological parents but even her adoptive parents who raised her, letting everyone witness their happiness.
The cannon fodder story ends abruptly here.
Only gaining the title of the male lead’s ex-wife, without name or substance, and was even cursed by readers for not seeing the big picture.
As for why Zhou Ruantian abandoned her fiancé for Mo Zhoujing, the plot explains that the heroine had a dream where she and the fake heiress were fighting over a man. In the end, she was not only stripped of her assets by the fake heiress but also lost the love of the Jiang parents, allowing the fake heiress to completely replace her and return to the Jiang Family.
Awakened from the dream, Zhou Ruantian immediately dumped her fiancé and ran to the mysterious, powerful man from her dream.
She knew that Mo Zhoujing was different from the rumors. She knew that as long as she stuck firmly to Mo Zhoujing, she could prevent everything from happening as in the dream. She also knew that this tycoon would soon divorce his nominal wife, her sister, Jiang Lai.
Knowing all this, Zhou Ruantian found an opportunity to get close to Mo Zhoujing, unknowingly captivating him with her alluring yet gentle and powerful presence.
Of course, Jiang Lai wasn’t interested in any of this.
Just glancing at it twice made her eyes hurt.
As a true cannon fodder, her existence served to make way for the male and female leads’ love and promote their relationship development.
As of now, the real and fake heiresses had just switched identities not too long ago.
The Jiang parents used their connections to place Zhou Ruantian in the university Jiang Lai and Jiang Han attended, while Jiang Han still lived in the apartment Father Jiang bought for her and frequently visited home.
"The book mainly focuses on how the real heiress heroine deals with the fake heiress supporting role; your presence is very weak."
"But I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family."
"So what?"
"Means I’m the future heir."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang didn’t have a son, so they always groomed Jiang Lai as the heir, which is why they painfully married her off to Mo Zhoujing to form a powerful alliance, a business marriage.
Given Mo Zhoujing’s strength, of course, he didn’t care about the resources of the Jiang Family. The reason he wanted to marry Jiang Lai was just to find a shield.
Since he was going to get married anyway, instead of wasting time searching, he just opted for the convenient choice in front of him, so he didn’t care whether Jiang Lai liked him or not, not even showing up for the marriage certificate.
"The domineering president can even have his assistant register the marriage for him?"
Little Buding sneered.
"In this world, there’s nothing he can’t do if he wants, understand?"
