Tang Yingxue gripped the bed with both hands, her face filled with fear.
Cao Bin had terrified her.
Why was this happening?
He had never yelled at her before, let alone made a move. His aggressive demeanor was like a beast eyeing easily accessible prey, making her deeply uncomfortable.
"You're insane!"
"Who do you think you are, that I have to do whatever you tell me to do?"
Hiding her inner panic behind a cold expression, Tang Yingxue covered her chest and walked out with her head down, not daring to look Cao Bin in the eye.
"The door is over there, and the contract is on the table."
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple. The Tang family's capital injection contract for 200 million is on the table right now, unsigned. It was originally planned to be signed after our engagement tomorrow, but honestly, you don't have to sign it."
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no. I, Cao Ah Ma, never threaten women. This is me giving you a chance to make your own choice!"
"..."
Tang Yingxue's face turned pale.
But for Cao Bin, this was a turning point.
Why would someone with such an impressive background stoop to being a lapdog?
Impossible.
After all, the plot of the original book officially begins tonight.
Setting aside the check-in plot and plundering luck for now, he had to collect some interest for being transported into this world!
As someone who had read the book, Cao Bin knew very well that Tang Yingxue had agreed to the engagement solely for money.
To be precise, it was for her family.
The Tang family, which started as a traditional hand-spun silk business, was once a wealthy family in Jiangbei.
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, pure silk textiles—time-consuming, high-cost, and low-circulation—gradually declined. The Tang family's industry was on the verge of collapse and in desperate need of new capital to avoid bankruptcy.
Tang Yingxue didn't want the hard work of her late father and grandfather to go to waste, so she agreed to the engagement with Cao Bin, the lapdog, on the condition of a 200 million investment.
In the original book, it was at the engagement party between Cao Bin and Tang Yingxue the next day that the protagonist, Dragon King Ye Fan, arrived with a marriage letter for Tang Yingxue. Ye Fan took her away, promising to marry her and help the Tang family overcome their difficulties, humiliating the Cao family in the process.
As a result, the original Cao Bin, the foolish lapdog, turned to the dark side and embarked on a path of self-destruction, ultimately meeting his demise.
