The Female Supporting Character in Quick Transmigration is Making a Comeback

Chapter 288 The Female Supporting Character's Husband is Going Bankrupt (8)

Luo Xian'er's main task today is to rent a nicer neighborhood. Her parents-in-law are about to be discharged from the hospital, and she can't possibly squeeze into an urban village with them, can she?

Their current residence has no elevator, poor soundproofing, and is noisy, making it unsuitable for recuperation.

Luo Xian'er looked at several apartments in different residential complexes recommended by real estate agencies, but none of them were suitable. She decided to go to one last place, and if that didn't work out, she might have to look in the villa area.

The last apartment was in a new residential area, right across the street from their rented apartment, just across a pedestrian overpass.

The apartment is on the 6th floor, with two bedrooms and one living room. It's an elevator building and comes furnished with appliances.

The community has relatively complete supporting facilities and good landscaping, but there aren't many residents.

Quiet, convenient for going up and down stairs, and there's a supermarket right next door—it's exactly what she wanted. The rent is higher than the other apartments she looked at before, at 3500 a month.

Luo Xian'er made the decision and signed a one-year contract with the agency, paying one month's rent as a deposit and two months' rent in advance. After signing the contract, she asked the agency to find someone to clean the house.

She then went to the nearby supermarket and bought toiletries, bedding, and everyday necessities such as rice, oil, salt, noodles, and milk...

After everything was completely set up, Luo Xian'er returned to her rented apartment.

She had just changed her shoes when Ouyang Yu, whom she hadn't seen for several days, opened the door and came in. Luo Xian'er asked politely, "Ouyang Yu, you're back. Did everything go smoothly?"

Looking at the person in front of him who had lost a lot of weight, Ouyang Yu felt that she was very different from the cold and aloof "wife" he remembered who only knew how to spend money.

"It's alright!" Actually, it wasn't very smooth. He went to another city these past few days, visited some former classmates, and was turned away quite a few times.

There were only two roommates, Arno and Fatty. The three of them were quite close during school, and both of their families were relatively well-off.

The three met. After learning about his situation, Arno and the fat man offered him money.

Arno's family runs several chain convenience stores, earning about 100 million yuan a year.

The fat man's family was slightly better off; they ran a breeding farm, and their annual income was barely 200 million yuan.

The income of the two families was not up to them, so in the end, Arno could come up with 20 and Fatty could come up with 40.

This 60 yuan is a drop in the bucket for him.

Ouyang Yu originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist their kindness, so he accepted the money and insisted on writing them an IOU.

Luo Xian'er could see his distress; it seemed the situation wasn't good. Where was Ouyang Yu's benefactor?

"Have you eaten? If not, I'll cook you some noodles?" Luo Xian'er asked casually, because she herself hadn't eaten either.

Ouyang Yu, who was taking off his coat, paused for a moment before saying, "Thank you so much!"

Luo Xian'er was already very skilled at cooking noodles; noodles were the dish she made most often.

Before long, two steaming bowls of noodles were served, and the two ate in silence.

Luo Xian'er mentioned the rented apartment: "Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are being discharged from the hospital. They need to rest and recuperate, so I rented an apartment for them in the complex across the street. Since you weren't here, I took it upon myself to rent it. You won't blame me, will you?"

Ouyang Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. How could he have forgotten about something as important as his parents?

Fortunately, Luo Xian'er had thought things through quite thoroughly. The look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Xian'er contained not only gratitude but also something else that was hard to explain.

"Thank you, Luo Xian'er!"

"Hey, it's nothing big. I'm not working and I'm bored at home, so I just did it on the side. You're busy enough taking care of your own things."

"Thank you again. We'll go pick up Mom and Dad from the hospital together tomorrow." Ouyang Yu's face was gentle under the light.

Luo Xian'er blushed upon seeing this: "Thanking me again would be too much, after all, we are husband and wife."

Whether this "couple" is a real couple or a fake one is still hard to say.

Seeing her fair and slightly flushed face, Ouyang Yu secretly vowed in his heart: if he ever overcomes this difficulty, he will never let Luo Xian'er down.

Luo Xian'er woke up to the sound of footsteps of office workers and the opening and closing of doors in the early morning.

She was still a little dazed when there was a knock on the door. Ouyang Yu was calling her to get up, saying that he would be picking up her parents from the hospital later.

Luo Xian'er jolted awake and immediately realized, "Oh right, usually after the hospital rounds, you can go through the discharge procedures."

The first thing I did was weigh myself, and I found myself steadily at 140 pounds, having lost another 10 pounds, which is great.

After she finished washing up and changing her clothes, she came out of the room to find Ouyang Yu setting out food on the dining table: "Xian'er, I bought steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and porridge. I don't know what you like to eat, so you can choose first."

Ouyang Yu even changed how he addressed her; was he moved by what she did?

"I'll have xiaolongbao, thank you!" Luo Xian'er sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and slowly began to eat.

There was a knock at the door. Ouyang Yu quickly got up to open it.

"Brother Yu..." A affected voice came from outside the door. Luo Xian'er knew it was Liu Ruqing. Was she installing surveillance cameras outside the door? She knew as soon as Ouyang Yu came back.

Ouyang Yu felt a chill run down his spine when he heard her call him that. He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Luo Xian'er. Seeing that she was eating quietly without any change in expression, he felt relieved.

He said coldly, "Liu Ruqing, how did you find your way here?"

Liu Ruqing was still wearing that white dress, making Luo Xian'er wonder if she had no other clothes.

“Brother Yu, I came to find you as soon as I returned to the country. I came here once before, that Luo Xian’er…” Liu Ruqing’s words were cut short as tears streamed down her face, creating a kind of broken beauty.

Liu Ruqing knew which pose she looked best in; whenever she did that, Ouyang Yu would always come to coax her first.

This time, however, she miscalculated. "Miss Liu, please call me Ouyang Yu. We are not acquainted."

Ouyang Yu had already received the recording his mother sent him, along with the things from back then. His mother had explained them to him, fearing he wouldn't believe her, and also the transfer records from back then.

Ouyang Yu is no longer the boy he used to be. Over the years, he has met all sorts of people, and he can see through the pretense in Liu Ruqing's eyes at a glance—it's a kind of hostile emotion.

“Brother Yu, how could you say that? We were so happy and joyful back then. If it weren’t for Auntie…”

"Enough, Liu Ruqing, didn't you take that 500 million?" Liu Ruqing hadn't expected him to know. After all, when she first went abroad, she received emails from Ouyang Yu for a long time, filled with his endless longing for her.

She didn't dare to reply at the time. She had signed a contract after receiving the 500 million yuan, and if she had any contact with Ouyang Yu, she would have to pay 10 times the amount as a penalty for breach of contract.

The contract was for a 10-year term, and she was to return to her home country as soon as it expired, hoping to rekindle their relationship. However, she soon discovered he was bankrupt.

Liu Ruqing also came with the intention of watching a good show. Now that she knew, she stopped pretending and her expression turned resentful: "Yes, I took the money, so what? I just came here to see how the president of Xingyao becomes a drowning dog."
