Facing the tension between the two women, Su Chen instead wanted to draw their anger towards himself. As an antagonist, he felt he was doing his job well. But these female leads were competing for his attention, which left him speechless.
Didn't I make it clear just now? I'm a despicable man. Aren't you both angry at that? Su Chen said to himself. "I don't have an issue, but I don't know about Miss Chen," Zhang Li replied, leaving Su Chen and walking away. She didn't really want to stay with Su Chen because she was afraid she'd run into Su Xian'er, making the situation awkward.
"Miss Chen of the Chen family, care to explain?" Su Chen asked, pointing the figurative gun at Chen Yuxin as Zhang Li's BMW sped away. Chen Yuxin swallowed hard, "My family doesn't allow me to be with you, so we've ended our relationship." "So you're saying you're going to be responsible for me from now on?" After saying this, Chen Yuxin didn't give Su Chen a chance to respond and ran back into the house.
"Insane, they're all insane," Su Chen muttered, realizing that Chen Yuxin was lying. Now he understood that the plot had completely collapsed. Especially with these female leads acting as if they couldn't live without him, Su Chen felt a strong sense of crisis.
However, Chen Yuxin's words reminded him of something. If the female leads weren't helping him complete the plot, then he should focus on their families. Particularly in the case of Chen Yuxin, whose family was powerful, he could try various methods to make the Chen family unhappy with him.
Su Chen couldn't believe that the Chen family would let Chen Yuxin, who was their future hope, marry a wastrel like him. Of course, the most crucial character was still the male lead, Qin Yu. If he continued to run away upon seeing Su Chen, as he had today, the plot wouldn't develop in the way Su Chen wanted.
Su Chen stayed home for more than half a month and didn't go out because there were no storylines involving him. According to the normal plot, he should already be on the run, but instead, he was staying home, enjoying personal service from Zhao Menghan every day.
Chen Yuxin, since moving in, hadn't gone to work and stayed at home all day. It wasn't just her; even his sister Su Xian'er stayed at home most of the time, often climbing into Su Chen's bed in the middle of the night, claiming she'd had nightmares. The excuse was ridiculous; Su Xian'er, who could punch a bull to death, claimed she was scared.
Because Su Xian'er temporarily stopped going to work, Su Chen's parents returned from their vacation. However, they continued to live in the Su family compound. Su Chen had no idea what to do next and could only wait for the day Zhao Menghan would kill him.
Strangely, Zhao Menghan seemed bewitched and was not conveying any messages to Qin Yu. It was as if she had really become Su Chen's servant, taking care of his daily life, occasionally blushing or panting, which made it difficult for Su Chen to maintain his composure.
But Su Chen had seen a lot and wasn't as anxious as before. In addition, the original story's plot continued to unfold; companies belonging to Lin Qingyan and Zhang Li were developing rapidly, gradually becoming completely self-reliant. In the end, Su Chen felt happy about it.
No matter what, as long as the plot progresses normally, everything should be fine. Just as Su Chen was trying to go with the flow, a phone call came through. To his surprise, it was from his mother, Chen Qing.
"Mom, what's up?" "What? You want me to come out for dinner tonight?" "And I can't tell Su Xian'er?"
After hanging up, Su Chen pondered for a moment, sensing that something was off. Why would his mother suddenly call? It can't be good news. Su Chen knows his mother well; the tone of her voice indicated something significant was happening.
Could it be that my recent good behavior has convinced her to officially hand over the company to me? Thinking this, Su Chen instructed Zhao Menghan before leaving, telling her to inform Su Xian'er that he would be going out for dinner with his parents tonight. What a joke, how could a villain expect good things to happen? He must disrupt it.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu's pharmaceutical company was also officially established. Pharmaceuticals are always the best weapon for the male leads in urban novels, especially among influential people who invariably have some health issues. In the past half a month, the reputation of "Qin Yu the Medical God" had spread throughout the entire capital, making him acquaintances with many powerful individuals. Therefore, he quickly started his own pharmaceutical company, which officially opened today. Before the ribbon-cutting ceremony could even begin, people seeking treatment from Qin Yu were already streaming in continuously.
Naturally, adhering to the aura that a male lead in an urban novel should have, Qin Yu charged minimal fees to ordinary people while slapping exorbitant prices on the wealthy. At this moment, a middle-aged couple arrived. Upon seeing them, Qin Yu took the initiative to greet them: "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, hello."
"Qin Yu, your business is really impressive!" Lin's father looked at the young man before him, feeling extremely satisfied. When he first met Qin Yu, he had been very impressed by this young man's demeanor, although at that time Qin Yu wasn't much in terms of either identity or wealth. However, now Qin Yu had truly grown, and the rapid development of the Lin family even relied on his support.
To be honest, Lin's father really liked Qin Yu, who at such a young age had started this company. This company, in the eyes of many, was a hot commodity. Anyone who could get in now would make a fortune later. In every way, Qin Yu was suitable for his daughter, Lin Qingyan.
Lin's father sighed, "I never thought your company would develop so well. In no time, you'll surely have a seat among the highest echelons of the capital."
"Uncle Lin, you're too kind. My company is still in its infancy and naturally needs investors for better development," Qin Yu smiled, "I assume Uncle Lin is also interested in investing?"
This was actually part of Qin Yu's plan, a plan he and Su Chen had almost simultaneously come up with. Since they couldn't gain much from those women, they shifted their focus to their families. As long as Lin Qingyan's father agreed, Lin Qingyan would have no way to escape his grasp.
Lin's father was overjoyed in his heart.
Indeed, they had raised a good daughter who could attract such an outstanding man! After exchanging pleasantries, the two elders left. Of course, they left with 5% of Qin Yu's company shares.
Don't underestimate this 5%; its current value is already in the billions. If the company grows in the future, this small stake could easily be worth hundreds of billions. Lin's father quickly found Lin Qingyan and informed her of what had transpired. He handed her the contract, which was yet to be signed, because Lin Qingyan was now the real person in charge of the Lin family.
"What are you doing with this money from Qin Yu?"
"It's a significant sum. Besides, don't you have a good impression of Qin Yu?"
"Who said that? The person I dislike the most is Qin Yu. He is trying to scheme against our company. You should know that Qin Yu and Su Chen are at odds. If we choose to cooperate with Qin Yu, it means we'll be against the Su family."
Lin's father was taken aback; he had not expected Lin Qingyan to dislike Qin Yu. This made him a bit awkward; he had assumed that the two were fond of each other, and now he found himself in this situation.
Lin Qingyan's mother suddenly spoke, "So Qingyan, could it be that you like Su Chen?"
Lin Qingyan lowered her head, her face turning rosy, "I wouldn't exactly say I like him, but he seems pretty decent."
Lin's father loudly proclaimed, "If it's because of the influence of the Su family, you don't have to worry. For your happiness, I would rather die—"
His words were interrupted by Lin's mother, who pulled him away.
After returning to their room, Lin's father, wearing a sullen face, asked, "Why did you pull me away?"
"Don't ask, our daughter simply likes Su Chen."
"How could that be? Didn't she always dislike Su Chen before?"
Lin's mother rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.
Lin's father was left bewildered, feeling a strong sense of a generational gap.
"What's going on? She seems to dislike him, but she actually likes him deep inside?"
"Is this some new kind of romance?"
"Ah, I'm getting old and out of touch with the times."
