196. Cannon Fodder Characters in "The Real and Fake Heiresses"
In the story of the real and fake heiresses, there is a character who is set up as a cannon fodder, and that is "Zhou Yi Yi".
Upon hearing this name, Chu Jiuyue was momentarily stunned. If it weren't for Xiao Ba's reminder, she might have truly forgotten this person, and an indescribable sense of helplessness welled up in her heart.
She remembered the girl who used to be in a corner of the Zhou family home, wearing tattered clothes, with fear and unease in her eyes, the "Zhou Yi" who was always ignored, ridiculed, and bullied.
She was once so helpless and so lonely, as if the whole world was against her.
“Zhou Yiyi, I’m calling you, why aren’t you answering me? I’m Liu Jiajia, your sister’s classmate. I’ve been to your house before. When I saw you dressed in rags and acting all timid, we invited you to hang out with us, but you had this weird attitude that scared us.”
Liu Jiajia's words carried a hint of disdain and contempt, as if reminding Chu Jiuyue that even with her new identity and status, she could not erase the shadow of her humble past.
Her words were full of contempt for Chu Jiuyue, as if to say that no matter how you change, your past will always be your stain.
Liu Jiajia is undoubtedly a tragic character in the story of the real and fake heiresses. She becomes a tool in the hands of the Zhou sisters, doing whatever they want, and is completely a cannon fodder. Her loyalty to the youngest daughter of the Zhou family even exceeds her loyalty to the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, who is also her classmate.
She always carried out the orders of the Zhou family's youngest daughter without thinking, even if these orders would put her in danger and controversy.
She was like the shadow of the Zhou family's youngest daughter, always following her, regardless of right or wrong.
It was Zhou's youngest daughter who suggested sending her to the countryside to monitor the original owner of this body. She knew that the original owner's existence would ruin her happy life, and the wealth and glory she craved were already hers for the taking.
The youngest daughter of the Zhou family understood this from a young age, and with her subsequent rebirth, she gained even more control over the entire Zhou family. Even though the eldest daughter of the Zhou family harbored resentment towards her younger sister, she had no choice but to curry favor with her for the sake of her own interests, because she knew that her younger sister had a bright future and she would not be foolish enough to go against her own future.
When the Zhou family adopted the original owner of the body, they had already planned to have their younger daughter take her place. This is the inside story revealed in the story of the real and fake heiresses.
They meticulously planned everything, even secretly discarding the original owner of the body, all to ensure that their youngest daughter could smoothly inherit everything from the Zhou family.
They are meticulous and ruthless, willing to sacrifice the original owner's happiness and future in order to achieve their goals.
Chu Jiuyue now feels both sympathy and helplessness for the original owner's plight. How did she end up encountering such a profit-driven group as the Zhou family?
It's no wonder that after she was found, the Zhou family didn't care about their daughter at all. In their eyes, she was just an obstacle on their path to wealth and glory, a stepping stone to the top.
Chu Jiuyue couldn't help but feel sympathy for the original owner's unfortunate experience, wondering how she had ended up in such a heartless family.
Despite sympathizing with the original owner, Chu Jiuyue couldn't truly empathize with her, mainly because she disliked the other person's willingness to compromise.
She couldn't understand why the original owner always chose to silently endure bullying and injustice instead of bravely standing up to fight back.
She believes that even in the darkest times, one should have the courage to fight for their rights instead of being at the mercy of others.
"...I took pity on you back then and even helped you, but you didn't know how to be grateful."
A hint of sadness appeared on Liu Jiajia's aggrieved face, but her eyes kept glancing at Mo Wenchen behind Chu Jiuyue, which made the possessive Chu Jiuyue very unhappy.
She couldn't stand any attention Liu Jiajia paid to Mo Wenchen, not even a glance.
Her heart was filled with jealousy and unease; she would not allow anyone to covet her man.
Her displeasure was expressed directly, but the impact of this expression was somewhat too strong.
"If you keep peeking at my man, I'll gouge your eyes out."
Chu Jiuyue's words were filled with undeniable determination, and her eyes flashed with anger, as if she would turn the threat into reality at any moment.
Her voice was cold, like the winter wind, sending chills down one's spine.
Mo Wenchen stared intently at his wife, his eyes gleaming. This made Chu Jiuyue, who had been exuding a cold aura, freeze and feel awkward.
She hadn't expected Mo Wenchen to express his concern and support for her so openly in front of everyone, which caught her off guard.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little shy. She was not used to showing her emotions in front of others.
"..."
Liu Jiajia glared at Chu Jiuyue with burning anger, her heart filled with disbelief. She stood there dumbfounded, seemingly unable to believe that such words could come from Chu Jiuyue's mouth, and even her glare looked exceptionally pitiful.
She couldn't understand why Chu Jiuyue had become so assertive and confident, which was completely different from the Zhou Yi she remembered.
The Zhou Yiyi she remembered was always timid and never dared to speak loudly, but the one standing in front of her now was a completely different Chu Jiuyue.
"..."
The two girls who came with Liu Jiajia, while not exactly cannon fodder, still seemed somewhat out of place:
"..." They exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating their confusion and bewilderment about the situation without making a sound.
They didn't understand why Liu Jiajia was so agitated, nor did they understand why Chu Jiuyue was so assertive.
At this moment, Passerby A was thinking to himself.
"Are you being polite to judge us like that?"
One of the girls couldn't help but speak up, her voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and provocation.
"Why can't we be considered cannon fodder? We're just extras."
Another girl added, not to be outdone, trying to make herself and her companions feel more present.
Their words were full of self-deprecation, but also revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Wife, I'm scared, you have to protect me."
Mo Wenchen's sudden coquettish words shocked everyone present, including Chu Jiuyue, who had previously harbored some dissatisfaction. At this moment, her eyes became glazed, filled with a complex emotion that was difficult to express.
She hadn't expected Mo Wenchen to express his dependence on her so openly in front of everyone, which caught her off guard.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little shy. She was not used to showing her emotions in front of others.
It seemed unbelievable that such words could come from this man's mouth; his lips twitched involuntarily, a strange feeling lingering in his mind.
Chu Jiuyue felt her heart filled with a complex emotion. She found it both funny and heartwarming. Although Mo Wenchen's behavior made her feel a little embarrassed, it also made her feel loved and protected.
She knew Mo Wenchen was teasing her on purpose, but she couldn't resist the feeling of being needed.
"you--"
Chu Jiuyue's voice carried a hint of mockery and helplessness.
"Wife, I know you will protect me, right?"
Mo Wenchen blinked, looking completely innocent. His deep eyes sparkled, making Chu Jiuyue unable to utter the words she was about to say, and she felt a sense of powerlessness.
She knew Mo Wenchen was teasing her on purpose, but she couldn't resist the feeling of being needed.
"……Yes."
She replied through gritted teeth.
Seeing his wife's emotional reaction, Mo Wenchen's eyes flashed with a smile, but for the sake of his future happiness, he still pretended to be innocent, as if he didn't understand why his wife was angry. This made Chu Jiuyue both amused and exasperated, but she had no choice but to glare at him helplessly and say irritably.
"Alright," Chu Jiuyue was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's antics. She wasn't really angry with Mo Wenchen, but she was just a little taken aback. She didn't expect this side of the man, which surprised her.
However, she also saw through the other person's thoughts and realized that he was worried about her, which warmed Chu Jiuyue's heart and made her very happy.
She knew that Mo Wenchen was using this method to alleviate her tension and anxiety, allowing her to find some comfort and support in this complex emotional state.
"Get out of my way! I'm warning you, don't mess with me. Tell the Zhou family that they shouldn't take what they shouldn't take. They won't hold onto it properly, and in the end, they'll only suffer the consequences."
Chu Jiuyue's words were filled with unwavering determination, and her eyes gleamed with resolute light.
She wasn't the Zhou Yi who could be manipulated by others. How could she allow the Zhou family to bully her? Even though she despised the original owner's inaction and cowardice, she would still help the original owner teach the Zhou family a lesson out of gratitude.
Her past life experiences had already taught her how to protect herself and how to survive in this complex world.
"you--"
Liu Jiajia's voice trembled slightly; she couldn't believe that Chu Jiuyue would respond to her so forcefully.
“Zhou Yiyi, don’t forget, those are your parents. How could you be so disloyal and unfilial? How dare you…”
"Hehe, go back and ask your best friend if I am really the daughter of the Zhou family. Don't call me Zhou Yi, it disgusts me. That's not my name. Tell the Zhou family that I am mine. Do you think they can hold on to me? Aren't they afraid of being haunted by nightmares?"
Chu Jiuyue's words were full of sarcasm and disdain. She was not that little girl who could be bullied. To her, anyone who dared to bully her would be fiercely retaliated against.
She's not the pitiful original owner of this body.
"W-what do you mean?"
Liu Jiajia's voice carried a hint of panic. She began to worry about how Zhou Yiyi knew that the Zhou family had another daughter. Didn't Zhou Huimin say that Zhou Yiyi didn't know about this? Could it be that the neighbors told Zhou Yiyi? And what did she mean by that just now?
Liu Jiajia felt that Chu Jiuyue's words had a hidden meaning, as if she was hinting at something. However, Liu Jiajia was confused because she did not know the truth. But she also sensed that Chu Jiuyue was different. She was no longer as timid and self-conscious as she was in the Zhou family. She even tried to please everyone in the Zhou family and everyone related to the Zhou family.
Zhou Yiyi now seems to have emerged from her cocoon like a butterfly, no longer the silly girl Liu Jiajia remembered, no longer the fool who was bullied, scolded, and insulted by others. This made Liu Jiajia's unease even stronger.
She couldn't understand why Chu Jiuyue had become so assertive and confident, which was completely different from the Zhou Yi she remembered.
Looking at Chu Jiuyue like this, Liu Jiajia felt inexplicably uneasy and panicked. The sense of superiority she used to have when facing Zhou Yiyi was gone, replaced by panic and fear. This made Liu Jiajia subconsciously take a few steps back, and the two girls behind her looked at each other.
"Jiajia, what's wrong?" Li Qin asked curiously, her eyes darkening as she looked at Chu Jiuyue with a probing gaze.
She had heard Liu Jiajia's story about the poor little Zhou family member, but now it seemed that it was not the same as Liu Jiajia's description.
"No, it's nothing." Liu Jiajia's voice trembled slightly; she couldn't hide her inner panic and fear.
She couldn't understand why Chu Jiuyue had become so strong and confident. It was as if overnight, she was no longer the helpless little rabbit, but a cheetah ready to pounce.
Li Qin and another girl exchanged a glance. They both sensed the change in Chu Jiuyue. This person, whom they once regarded as a cowardly and incompetent character, now exuded an aura that could not be ignored, making her someone not to be underestimated.
Looking at his wife's domineering demeanor, Mo Wenchen felt a surge of pride and joy.
He knew that his wife was no longer the little girl who could be bullied by others. She was Chu Jiuyue, who had experienced many hardships in her previous life. Through her experiences, she had learned how to protect herself and how to survive in this complex world.
"Wife, well done."
Mo Wenchen whispered in Chu Jiuyue's ear, his voice full of praise and encouragement.
Chu Jiuyue turned to look at him, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.
She knew that no matter what challenges and difficulties she faced in the future, as long as Mo Wenchen was by her side, she would have the courage to face everything.
"let's go."
Chu Jiuyue spoke to Mo Wenchen, her voice filled with determination and confidence.
Mo Wenchen nodded, the two smiled at each other, and then turned and left.
Their silhouettes appeared exceptionally upright and resolute in the sunlight, as if to say that no matter what the future holds, they will walk hand in hand and never be separated.
Watching Chu Jiuyue and Mo Wenchen walk away hand in hand, Liu Jiajia felt a surge of resentment and jealousy. She couldn't understand why Chu Jiuyue could have such a wonderful love and life, while she could only be mocked and looked down upon here.
A strong sense of resentment welled up in her heart, and she vowed to make Chu Jiuyue pay the price and let her know that she was not invincible.
However, Liu Jiajia was unaware that her resentment and jealousy would only lead her to destruction.
In this complex world, only by learning to let go of hatred and jealousy can one truly attain happiness and freedom.
And that's exactly what Chu Jiuyue and Mo Wenchen did.
They proved with their actions that with love and courage, we can overcome all difficulties and challenges and embrace a bright future.
