She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Ah Chen and the other were eager to return to the county, so they just greeted Su Man with a word, without saying much else.

But Su Man’s previous attitude was clearly visible to Lu Yan, overly obvious, and he couldn’t ignore it even if he tried.

The last time he reviewed Jiang Chen’s information, he learned about the Jiang Family’s situation and knew that Su Man was her second sister-in-law.

Today, Su Man’s gaze was strange, seemingly with a look of schadenfreude, as if they were in for big trouble.

”What are you thinking?” Ah Chen asked.

In fact, she had some guesses; there are many smart people in this world, but generally, she hadn’t interacted much and only found Su Man’s certain behavior a bit odd.

But Lu Yan was not an ordinary person, meticulous, with an acute intuition; he could detect something amiss immediately.

This question left Lu Yan stumped, as Su Man was Jiang Chen’s second sister-in-law. Without evidence, he couldn’t just say this person seemed strange, very suspicious, or even harboring ill intentions.

”Yesterday, I mentioned you to my parents and said I’d bring you next time.” Ah Chen changed the subject first, sparing Lu Yan from embarrassment.

Lu Yan instantly threw aside thoughts of Su Man, his heart racing wildly. They hadn’t even started dating, and she had already mentioned him to her parents?

She even wanted to bring him home?

She must be satisfied with him.

”From what I heard, my parents have a good impression of you and are quite pleased.”

Lu Yan instinctively asked, ”And what about you?”

After asking, his face flushed, and he felt a wave of tension and a bit of regret, but since he already asked, there was no reason to take it back; he wasn’t one to be bashful.

Just like before, once confirming his affection for Jiang Chen and knowing she was single, he openly expressed his feelings, not only securing an opportunity for himself but also intimidating her other pursuers.

”I’m naturally satisfied too.” Ah Chen looked at him with a smile, which to people of this era, seemed overly straightforward and bold.

Instead, it made Lu Yan a bit uneasy, and he clenched his fist, forcing himself to not look away.

”As long as you’re satisfied.”

”I’ll keep making sure you are satisfied.”

Ah Chen smiled happily, ”Then I’ll wait to see your performance.”

Lu Yan felt joy in his heart, understanding her meaning.

But she had mentioned she wanted to see the potted flowers he was growing, and today she must see them; he had promised.

”Afterwards, I want to follow up with some physical training and learn some moves. Brother Lu, what do you think?”

Since Lu Yan might encounter danger in the future, Ah Chen had to prepare to avoid any awkward display of abilities, especially since her workplace was quite special, so refining the details was better.

The sudden change of the topic caught Lu Yan off guard, but he quickly reacted.

”Sure.” He agreed with this, recalling the incident where she was chased by hooligans.

The matter he discovered last time seemed to slip his mind to mention to her, mainly because he was too busy at the time.

”Do you remember those little punks who cornered you?”

”It was Yu Jinyong who ordered them to block you, wanting to play the hero and save the beauty. At that time, Yu Jinyong was hiding nearby, but nobody expected you to run so fast.”

”I didn’t expect it was him.” Ah Chen realized, ”He’s indeed no good, lucky I didn’t agree.”

Lu Yan was also relieved. With Yu Jinyong’s family status and looks, there wouldn’t be many girls who could resist, thankfully she didn’t agree, otherwise they wouldn’t have met.

”Yu Jinyong was colluding with some rowdy thugs. The case of him getting his legs broken is still unsolved, and nothing improper has been found out about him for now; but with such precision of just breaking his legs, it’s either revenge or venting anger, most likely he did something to provoke someone.” Lu Yan said, ”At the moment, he probably won’t come looking for you again. He’s still recovering, likely eager to find the one who hurt him.”

”Moreover, with your current special job, he shouldn’t dare to easily provoke you.”

Lu Yan just felt fortunate. If she hadn’t demonstrated her ability to secure this job, their interactions would certainly be less frequent. Yu Jinyong seemed like someone relentless in pursuit of his goals, who knows what schemes he might come up with later.

After returning to the dormitory and setting everything down, Lu Yan took Ah Chen to see his potted flowers, which were blooming brilliantly.

Following this, Lu Yan gained another identity, Jiang Chen’s partner.

The next day at work, colleagues noticed they not only arrived together but seemed much closer than before, congratulating them and asking when they would get married.

Lu Yan didn’t dare answer that, his gaze turned to Ah Chen, clearly showing she took the lead in everything.

Ah Chen laughed, ”Next time when we go home, I’ll bring Brother Lu, and the matter of marriage still needs to be discussed with my parents.”

Whether sooner or later, it was fine by her.

Colleagues all laughed and teased, but when they saw Ah Chen wasn’t embarrassed, and it was Lu Yan who was a bit uneasy, they marveled.

Both had admirers, but before, neither of them responded to anyone. Everyone, being dignified persons, could only sigh with regret.

Ah Chen quickly started physical training. Previously, she revealed a strength of being a fast runner. Besides, she was originally from the countryside, so having a bit more strength is understandable, right? And showing a bit of talent while practicing moves is quite reasonable, right?

Lu Yan, now her boyfriend and not too busy, isn’t it more reasonable to ask him to teach a move or two?

Everything proceeded smoothly, the only thing to be cautious about was when sparring with Lu Yan, to avoid accidentally knocking him down, it was just the beginning of training, and that would be hard to explain.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes; when it was time for another break, a relatively big case occurred. Not to mention Lu Yan, even Ah Chen couldn’t take a break.

She could only call the town, asking them to inform the Jiang Family to arrange a time to return the call.

The Jiang Family knew she was busy, so they wouldn’t say much.

During the call, Ah Chen inquired about the Jiang Family’s situation and was relieved to hear they were all doing well. Additionally, she learned from the Jiang Family’s mouth about Jiang Maohua and Su Man, who were unchanged from before. Su Man was well taken care of by Jiang Maohua, while he lost quite a bit of weight, yet his demeanor almost screamed ”willingness” across his face.

The village continued to gossip about this affair, but so what?

Yu Jinyong had already been discharged and was recuperating at home, no longer sending matchmakers to the Jiang Family. Some rumors even said he was looking everywhere for the person who broke his legs.

The Yu Family was indeed anxious to find him a wife, but he himself wasn’t in the mindset to find one for now.

It seemed Yu Jinyong would put the Jiang Family behind him.

”Yongyong, if Jiang Chen doesn’t want it, then let it go. I’ll find you another pretty girl,” said Yu’s mother with concern, ”For now just focus on recovering. With our family’s conditions, there are plenty willing to marry into the Yu Family.”

Yet Yu Jinyong fancied Jiang Chen.

Previously, he could send matchmakers to the Jiang Family time and again or think of other ways, but now Jiang Chen worked at the county public security bureau and had difficulty even coming home once, let alone finding opportunities to pair her with Yongyong.

Yu’s mother was dissatisfied at heart but had no means.

”Mom, don’t concern yourself with this matter. I just want to focus on healing for now, and don’t plan on finding a partner temporarily.” Yu Jinyong said, full of irritation, ”If you keep talking about it, it will affect my recovery.”

”Alright, alright, I won’t push you, we’ll focus on getting your legs healed first.”

Yu’s mother left the room, muttering curses towards the person who broke Yu Jinyong’s legs.
