Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart - Chapter 138
Jiang Yan’s face remained composed and calm, but walking without being able to see anything was indeed quite unsettling.
Fortunately, someone was carefully supporting her hand. As Jiang Yan boldly walked forward, she was inwardly weeping. Oh, how she feared tripping.
Perhaps her sixth sense was too strong, for her foot suddenly stepped on something noticeably protruding. Jiang Yan’s hand slipped from the servant’s grasp, and for a moment, she couldn’t find her balance. Teetering unsteadily, she was about to fall forward—landing on someone.
At the same time, the servants anxiously reached out with many hands to help Jiang Yan up.
The fleeting sensation of contact left Lu Tu’s thoughts in a bit of a muddle. Acting on instinct, he softly muttered an apology.
Having taken this fall, Jiang Yan was quite displeased, her face showing a hint of anger. With her lips turned down and brows furrowed, she was carefully escorted inside by the servants.
With such a large group of servants, allowing the young miss to fall was indeed their fault.
Lin Muqian’s gaze involuntarily followed the young miss for a moment before he walked up to Lu Tu and asked what had happened.
Lu Tu himself didn’t know what had happened, so he simply said nothing. It was just that upon seeing the Tan Family’s young miss, he had experienced a sudden, inexplicable tightness in his chest.
It was all very strange.
When the leader of this selection process—Jiang Yan’s uncle, Tan Sheng—brought Jiang Yan out, they learned that this final round of selection would be entirely based on the young miss’s preferences.T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
Whoever she wanted would be allowed to stay.
It sounded nice, like an emperor selecting his consorts. But she couldn’t see.
Tan Sheng had apparently prepared for this in advance, having each candidate introduce themselves one by one.
That made things easier. Jiang Yan listened perfunctorily to a series of voices, some clear and others deep, just waiting for Lu Tu’s turn.
This situation was unexpected for Lu Tu. He had thought this final test would involve music appreciation, psychological knowledge, or etiquette. It turned out to be just the young miss choosing at will. In that case, the chances of being selected shouldn’t be too high…
The self-introductions were done in order, and it was now Lin Muqian’s turn. Just as Lu Tu was curious about how this young master who intended to be eliminated would present himself, he heard Lin Muqian’s voice booming eloquently, going into such detail that he even mentioned his father’s birthday. The main theme seemed to be how his family was loving and harmonious…
If the goal was to be eliminated by going off-topic, then it wasn’t bad. Lu Tu made a slightly sarcastic assessment.
But Lin Muqian’s tone was very enthusiastic, and he even kept stealing glances in the young miss’s direction as he spoke…
Jiang Yan nearly fell asleep listening to Lin Muqian’s lengthy discourse.
Lu Tu planned to keep a low profile and take a cue from Lin Muqian’s off-topic approach, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Lu Tu had barely opened his mouth to say his name when the Tan Family’s young miss seemed to grow impatient. She stood up, vaguely pointed in the direction of the voice, and casually said, “Him, then.”
Before Lu Tu could react, Lin Muqian, inexplicably excited, asked, “Is it me or Lu Tu?”
Lu Tu assumed he also wanted to be eliminated and secretly clenched his fingers. Then he heard the young miss, who was already walking out, leave with one last sentence: “Lu Tu.”
His future had been changed by a casual point. Lu Tu’s heart was suddenly filled with intense dissatisfaction and anger. However, there seemed to be a kind of magic in the Tan Family young miss’s voice.
After she said his name, all the anger in his heart suddenly subsided, replaced by a strange calmness.
His reason told him that he should be furious but forced to endure due to the circumstances. Yet now, he felt as if his entire being was immersed in a pool of spring water, the flames in his heart completely washed away.
The young miss had already walked away. Tan Sheng, having confirmed Lu Tu’s identity, was now explaining to him in detail what he would need to do now that he had been chosen.
The eliminated candidates left one by one, their expressions unchanged. Whether truly disappointed or feigning it, they knew in their hearts that it wouldn’t be appropriate to show it in front of their hosts.
The only odd one was Lin Muqian. Although he had originally intended to be eliminated, he kept looking back frequently, seeming somewhat envious of Lu Tu.
