Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's spoiled ex-girlfriend

He was already sheltering from the rain, waiting for his driver to pick him up; he didn't need an umbrella.

Just as I was about to refuse, my phone vibrated first.

Ke Miantang's message: "Has Uncle Chen arrived yet?"

Ke Ji didn't reply to the message. He put his phone in his pocket and said to Zhang Xin, "No need, someone's coming to pick me up."

Just then, a black Alphard pulled up in front of the milk tea shop.

The car came to a quiet stop in the rain, its windows offering one-way visibility, so you couldn't see inside.

The car door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in a black suit stepped out, holding an umbrella.

He walked up to Ke Ji and held the umbrella over his head: "Xiao Ji, the car has arrived."

Ke Ji nodded, picked up the milk tea bag, bent down, and got into the car.

The Alphard left the milk tea shop, its taillights flashing twice in the rain before being swallowed up by the hazy, rainy scenery.

Zhang Xin stood at the door, still holding the umbrella she hadn't given away.

This was the first time she had been rejected so coldly. In the past, every boy she had talked to was smiling and eager to chat with her.

This Ke Ji, on the other hand, never gave me a kind look from beginning to end.

Bao Min appeared behind her without her noticing, her voice drifting past her ear: "Gone?"

"Um."

"Didn't you take your umbrella?"

"no."

Bao Min sneered: "When you encounter a man like this, you must not give him a nice look, but you also cannot go too far. Those people on the whitelist have been used to being fawned over since childhood. Even if you are nice to him, he may not appreciate it."

Then she continued, "The same principle applies to Rong She. Look at Ke Mian Tang, she even dares to lose her temper with Rong She. Isn't that because she has learned this essence? She takes advantage of Rong She's novelty towards her and acts recklessly. But Ke Mian Tang's behavior of not knowing how to restrain herself will eventually make Rong She get tired of her."

Speaking of this, Bao Min recalled what someone had told her a few days ago: that Rong She had taken Ke Miantang to play golf with Zhou Ran and his group.

Rumors are circulating that Rong She intends to include Ke Miantang in the top ten of the whitelist.

If Ke Miantang makes it into the top ten of the whitelist, the Ke family's ranking in Lingzhou City will also rise.

Rong She's every move was a signal, but Bao Min believed that her best friend Zhang Xin would have a solution. A man as outstanding as Rong She deserved a girl like Zhang Xin.

When Rong She was mentioned, Zhang Xin's expression softened a bit: "You're right, I need to work harder so that Rong She will notice me."

-

At the Ke family's dining table.

In front of Ke Miantang was a pot of steaming ginseng chicken soup, with a few red dates and pine nuts floating on the surface.

She was happily sipping her milk tea, the straw making a gurgling sound in the cup.

Ke Ji sat opposite her, his chopsticks stuck in his rice bowl, leaning back in his chair, his face full of displeasure.

"Is the milk tea delicious?"

"It's delicious." Ke Miantang smiled.

"You made me ride my motorcycle to buy you milk tea on a rainy day, don't you feel any remorse?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"..." Ke Ji gritted his teeth in anger, his molars grinding loudly.

As if remembering something, he suddenly said, "Oh right, when I was waiting for the rain to stop at the bubble tea shop, a woman came over and gave me an umbrella."

Ke Miantang paused in her sipping of milk tea, the straw slipping from her lips: "What woman?"

"I don't know her, she looks alright, and she's dressed similarly to you."

What do you mean by "dressing similarly to me"?

"It's your usual outfit, the kind that's all mismatched and your hair is always down, but it doesn't look as good as what you're wearing."

Ke Ji's description was rough, but Ke Miantang understood it.

A name quickly popped into her mind, but she rejected it.

It can't be such a coincidence. Besides, Zhang Xin doesn't know Ke Ji, so why would she go out of her way to deliver an umbrella to him?

But then Ke Miantang remembered that in the original story, Zhang Xin had indeed lent Ke Ji an umbrella on a rainy day. Could this be the same time?

Her heart skipped a beat.

"And then?" she asked casually.

"I'm leaving now that Uncle Chen is here."

"You didn't take their umbrella?"

"Why would I take her umbrella? I don't even know her." Ke Ji found her words strange and frowned slightly.

Ke Miantang said "Oh" and mentally called out to the system.

The system replied instantly: "The girl who gave Ke Ji an umbrella at the milk tea shop was indeed Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin and Bao Min were having drinks at the milk tea shop when they saw that Ke Ji didn't have an umbrella. Out of kindness, she lent him hers. In the original novel, Zhang Xin is kind and helpful, which is an inherent attribute of the character. Even if Ke Ji fell in love with her at first sight, it was one-sided. Zhang Xin never gave Ke Ji any feedback afterward."

Hearing this, Ke Miantang suddenly felt sorry for her younger brother.

It's rare for someone to have a crush on another person, but they don't even get any feedback.

Her gaze toward Ke Ji unconsciously carried a hint of sympathy.

Ke Ji's eyelids twitched, and she poked her chopsticks into the bowl: "Ke Mian Tang, what kind of look is that? Who are you looking down on?"

Ke Miantang looked away: "You're mistaken."

Ke Ji snorted, his teeth itching, but he dared not be presumptuous again.

What if Ke Miantang and Rong She complain to him? He still respects Rong She very much.

Thinking of this, he swallowed his resentment and shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Xiao Manshu cooked the meal herself today, and she brought the last dish out of the kitchen.

She wiped her hands with her apron, turned her head and called out towards the stairs, "Honey, dinner's ready."

Ke Hong was the last to sit down. He doesn't talk much during meals, but he spoke up today.

"Tangtang." Ke Hong placed a piece of chicken in her bowl and casually said, "I had a meeting with Xingyun a couple of days ago. After the meeting, Chairman Rong suddenly asked if we had a daughter. Do you know Rong She?"

Ke Miantang choked on the ginseng chicken soup and coughed twice, covering her mouth.

Xiao Manshu handed her a tissue, which she took and used to wipe her mouth, saying vaguely, "I don't know her."

Ke Hong continued, "I thought I misheard. Chairman Rong is the kind of person who never talks about personal matters in meetings. I was a bit confused when he suddenly asked about you. How do you think he knew about you?"

"Dad," Ke Ji said, slamming his chopsticks down on the table, "Don't talk while you eat."

Ke Hong glanced at him. This kid was usually the most talkative at the dinner table, but today he only said a few words and was told not to talk anymore. It was simply outrageous!

"Alright, alright, I'll just say one last thing." Ke Hong picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and jokingly said, "Speaking of which, Chairman Rong asking this, it's not because you think Tangtang is pretty and want to introduce her to Rong She, is it?"

"Alright, alright," Xiao Manshu interrupted him, her tone gently scolding, "The Rong family is a social class that our Ke family can't possibly be worthy of. Stop talking nonsense and let the child eat properly."

Ke Hong laughed twice, picked up his wine glass and took another sip: "That's right, that's right. Dad was just saying it casually, Tangtang, don't take it to heart."

Ke Miantang hummed in agreement, picked up the piece of chicken, and put it in her mouth. The chicken was stewed until very tender, almost melting in her mouth without needing to chew.

It's best not to tell your family that Rong She is already her boyfriend.

To avoid her father being suddenly agitated.
