Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

Zhou Chiye put the seafood into the kitchen, then turned and strode to the sofa.

A strong sense of aggression rushed over him, and his tall figure squatted down directly in front of Jiang Li.

"elder sister."

He tilted his head back, his bright black dog eyes staring intently at her, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye a deep red.

With his pitiful expression, he looked just like a large dog begging for a head pat.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Li stretched out her slender white finger and poked his sweaty cheek.

"You didn't come to pick me up from get out of class today."

He moved forward, resting his chin directly on her knee, his warm breath seeping into the fabric of her nightgown.

"Didn't we agree to play ball today? I'm afraid of the heat and don't want to go out."

Jiang Li casually pinched his straight nose.

"But everyone else has a girlfriend to bring them water, while I have to buy bottled water myself."

Zhou Chiye took advantage of the situation, grabbing her hand and rubbing his face against her palm.

I miss my sister.

"You've only been gone for four hours, haven't you?"

"Four hours is a long time!"

He suddenly stood up, bent down, and scooped her up, sofa cushion and all, into his arms.

"I don't care, I need a kiss from my sister to calm me down."

The sweetness here is almost unbearable, but the atmosphere in City A, thousands of miles away, is completely the opposite.

The atmosphere at the dinner table in the Zhou family villa had plummeted to freezing point.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had been staying at the sanatorium for over a year and their health had improved significantly. They returned just two days ago.

A table laden with delicious food, yet no one touched their chopsticks.

Zhou Yanchuan sat opposite him, his face pale.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

Zhou's father slammed his hand heavily on the mahogany dining table, making the bowls and chopsticks rattle loudly.

"Jiang Li and I are already divorced."

Zhou Yanchuan gritted his teeth and repeated the lines he had rehearsed countless times beforehand.

"She moved out a long time ago and is now in City B."

He cannot say that he never "married" her in the first place.

Zhou's mother was trembling with anger, pointing her finger at his nose and cursing loudly:

"Did you bully her? Are you even human?"

"Lili is such a well-behaved girl. She came to our family when she was only thirteen. What have you done to wrong her?!"

"Mom, I didn't bully her."

Zhou Yanchuan lowered his head and spoke in a very low voice.

"It was only after we got married that I realized I had always treated her like a younger sister."

It's unfair to force her to live together.

"If we drag this out any longer, it will only ruin her life."

"Bullshit! We've been married for a year and you're telling me you have a brother-sister relationship!"

Enraged, Zhou's father grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it at him.

The teacup shattered on Zhou Yanchuan's shoulder, splashing tea all over him. He groaned but didn't flinch.

"Fine, you think you're all grown up now!"

"Now that you've made it big and your company's gone public, you don't even want your wife anymore!"

Zhou's mother took out her phone, her fingers trembling, and immediately dialed Jiang Li's number.

In her apartment in City B, Jiang Li had just been kissed twice by Zhou Chiye when her phone rang.

Upon seeing the screen, she immediately put her index finger to Zhou Chiye's lips, signaling him to be quiet.

"aunt."

Jiang Li answered the phone, her voice automatically switching to a soft and sweet tone.

"Xiao Li..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhou's mother's voice was anxious and guilty, even trembling with tears.

"That bastard Yan Chuan said you two are divorced?"

What exactly happened?

Does he have someone else on the side?

"Don't be afraid, tell Mom, and Mom will break his legs!"

Jiang Li blinked, her eyes glistening with tears, perfectly embodying the original owner's kind nature:

"Auntie, please don't blame Brother Yanchuan."

Actually, I felt it wasn't appropriate. We're fine as siblings; you really can't blame him.

"He's talking nonsense! He's the one who doesn't deserve such a good girl like you!"

Hearing her sensible voice, Zhou's mother felt heartbroken and burst into tears.

"It's true, Auntie."

Jiang Li twirled the end of her hair with her fingers, her tone gentle.

"I agreed to the breakup; I didn't want to put him in a difficult position."

"You and Uncle have been so good to me. Even if I leave the Zhou family, I will always consider you family."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Chiye's face was dark. He snatched the phone from her hand and threw it aside, then forcefully pressed her into his chest.

He knew she was acting, but hearing her speak in such a wronged and understanding tone to defend Zhou Yanchuan still broke his heart.

"Don't talk like that."

Zhou Chiye's jawline taut out sharp lines as he lowered his head and bit her earlobe hard.

"You don't need to compromise yourself, not even if it's just acting."

Jiang Li cried out in pain and pushed away his firm chest:

"This is a tactical retreat, don't you understand, kid?"

"If I don't put on a convincing performance, how will they believe me?"

Zhou Chiye buried his face in the crook of her neck, took a deep breath, and protested in a muffled voice:

"I'm not a little kid, I'm twenty years old."

Three days later, in a quiet coffee shop in City B.

Zhou's mother was still worried and insisted on seeing Jiang Li herself.

Zhou's mother held Jiang Li's hand, her eyes red-rimmed, and kept repeating:

"It's my fault. I pushed you two too hard back then, which ruined your lives."

Jiang Li lowered her eyes and gave a perfectly timed, faint smile.

She didn't shed a single tear, didn't utter a single bad word about Zhou Yanchuan, and even her tone carried a sense of relief and ease.

"Auntie, this is actually quite good."

I don't hate Yan Chuan Ge; I only consider him my older brother.

Maybe it was like this from the beginning, but I just didn't understand it myself.

I am very happy now.

She looked intently at Zhou's mother.

His calm and composed demeanor left Zhou's mother with a bellyful of comforting words stuck in her throat.

Zhou's mother stared intently into Jiang Li's clear eyes.

She realized that Xiaoli truly didn't love Yanchuan.

Without love, there is naturally no hate.

Her relief was genuine.

This realization brought Zhou's mother a slight sense of relief, but she was quickly overwhelmed by even deeper guilt.

On the way back, Zhou's mother remained silent for a long time.

"Lili seems much more open-minded than Yanchuan. When that child smiles, her eyes are always bright."

Zhou's mother sighed.

Mr. Zhou frowned and sighed repeatedly:

"Our Zhou family owes that girl a debt, and we have to give her some compensation so that she won't suffer outside."

The next day, following his parents' wishes, Zhou Yanchuan transferred 20 million yuan to Jiang Li as compensation.

Half a minute later, the 20 million was returned intact.

The message included: "Brother Yanchuan, the Zhou family's kindness in raising us is greater than heaven. We're even now, and I won't accept the money."

Upon seeing this message, Zhou's mother felt so guilty that she couldn't sleep all night.

Zhou Chiye astutely seized this excellent opportunity.

He dialed Zhou's mother's number directly.

"mom."

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Chiye switched to his cheerful and harmless boyish tone, even with a hint of coquetry.

"Ono, what's up?"

Zhou's mother sounded very tired.

"I heard that my brother and sister got divorced. My sister is all alone in City B and doesn't even have a place to live. How pitiful she is."

Zhou Chiye leaned against the balcony railing, his eyes shining brightly as he watched Jiang Li eating potato chips in the living room.

"Since my apartment in City B has been empty anyway, why don't you let my sister stay there?"

Zhou's mother on the other end of the phone was stunned.

"Mom, don't overthink it."

Zhou Chiye's tone was extremely frank.

"My sister has always been the best to me at home, and I can't just watch her suffer outside all by herself."

Besides, she can stay at my place and save on rent.

That way, she won't feel awkward running into me in City A, right?

Jiang Li stared speechlessly at the man who was blatantly lying.

He had his long legs crossed at the moment, looking quite languid.

Ten minutes ago, he was still clinging to her and wouldn't let go, saying, "Sister, let me hug you for five more minutes."

Now look at you, acting like a perfectly normal person on the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou's mother hesitated, "But is it convenient for Xiaoli, a girl, to stay at your place?"

Jiang Li sat on the sofa, her eyes twitching wildly.
