Chapter 174.1: System, are you sending me a consolation prize? (1)
Su Mingyuan felt even more aggrieved as he watched Jiang Hua’s face, which lacked any response.
However, he couldn’t do anything to change the situation. He could only play the role of the villain and relish in his petty victory.
He laughed maniacally and looked at Xiao Ran and Murong Hongxue with pride as he handed the antidote to Jiang Hua.
“Hahaha! It’s so laughable, too ridiculous!”
“No matter how persuasive Xiao Ran is, and even with Murong Hongxue’s assistance, Jiang Hua still chose me, chose to be my subordinate!”
Jiang Hua remained indifferent to his victory, and Su Mingyuan was left feeling frustrated.
Sob. Why, why haven’t you changed your mind and returned to Xiao Ran’s embrace, Jiang Hua?
I am a complete villain, and I just teamed up with the arena boss to poison and plot against you. Is there something wrong with your eyes?
This time, Su Mingyuan didn’t blame Xiao Ran.
In his opinion, there wasn’t much of a problem with his bastard son’s performance this time. He had tried his best, so how could he blame him?He also didn’t blame Murong Hongxue, who had helped Jiang Hua to expose the real villain and take her revenge. Despite her efforts, Jiang Hua remained unmoved.
Is it possible to make Murong Hongxue, the underground queen, beg Jiang Hua to belong to Xiao Ran’s side?
Even at that moment, Su Mingyuan, as a dedicated actor, continued to act to reveal arrogance of his villainous character.
He laughed arrogantly and ecstatically, but his heart was crying.
Wuwu, my perfect performance, my villain points…
Jiang Hua looked at Su Mingyuan’s crazy laughter and felt that his smile didn’t seem as happy as he appeared.
He could understand why.
Even if you disguise yourself, you will get tired.
Even a mask, no matter how long it’s worn, will inevitably reveal flaws.
Su himself was not such an evil and dissolute person.
He was so refined and cultured, why would he want to laugh so arrogantly and provoke others?
He silently pitied Su Mingyuan for a second…
Unfortunately, besides Jiang Hua, no one present could see through Su Mingyuan’s disguise.
Xiao Ran felt a burning sensation on his face.
In order to win over Jiang Hua, he had vented his anger for him and was even willing to fight against Su Mingyuan for him.
He had already lowered himself and made such generous promises, but he couldn’t get the other party to turn back.
Looking at Su Mingyuan’s arrogant smile and tone at this moment, Xiao Ran was so angry inside.
Before, he had travelled the world and many people were grateful for even his small favours.
With just a little bit of kindness, they were willing to serve him wholeheartedly. But this Jiang Hua remained indifferent even in the face of his attempt to recruit him, the king of killers.
Xiao Ran snorted in anger and left with his tail between his legs. He didn’t want to stay there any longer and endure the ridicule of Su Mingyuan.
He found it strange that every time he faced this fool. Even if he initially had the upper hand, he would soon face a reversal and be humiliated in the end.
It was truly bizarre.
Murong Hongxue looked at Su Mingyuan, who had gained a loyal follower, and smiled lightly without any displeasure on her face.
“Su Mingyuan, you have great skills. I’m also interested in Jiang Hua. He values loyalty and righteousness. I wonder what you did to make him so loyal to you.”
Su Mingyuan was also puzzled. He had done nothing, so why did Jiang Hua choose him?
Had Jiang Hua changed his character and become afraid of power and death?
But that couldn’t be the case because he didn’t submit to Xia Rongze’s pressure that day.
Murong Hongxue left with graceful steps.
She was in a good mood. How could she not be happy when she saw that the general, who used to belong to Xiao Ran, became Mingyuan’s subordinate in this life?
Meanwhile, Su Mingyuan reluctantly accepted Jiang Hua’s loyalty.
He was speechless. He thought he had eliminated all the hidden dangers and even set up a backup plan for Jiang Hua, pretending to be a white knight and showing him kindness, so why did this happen?
Su Mingyuan left the underground arena with Jiang Hua.
He would interrogate and find out what went wrong. He wanted to see which link had the problem!
Why did the backup plan go wrong?
After Su Mingyuan left, Xiao Ran and Murong Hongxue met in a reception room.
“Xiao Ran, if you need help, I can give you a hand,” Murong Hongxue said lightly.
Not only did she want to see the general who used to belong to Xiao Ran’s subordinates fall into someone else’s arms, she also wanted to gradually infiltrate her manpower into his business, gradually neutralising and controlling his career and power!
In response to the proactive approach of Murong Hongxue, Xiao Ran was somewhat excited and even exhilarated. Even the discomfort caused by Su Mingyuan’s mockery just now dissipated with it.
“Thank you very much,” he responded, raising his glass of red wine to clink with Murong Hongxue’s. Meanwhile, some strange thoughts quietly bubbled up in his mind.
She approached me first. Could she…be interested in me?
As he stole a glance at Murong Hongxue’s bright red lips, his heart rate unconsciously accelerated. His gaze toward her gradually became different from before, but it was disgusting to her.
Noticing the change in his gaze, Murong Hongxue felt disgusted with the presumptuous Xiao Ran.
After quickly discussing the matter with him, she immediately drove him away. The wine glass that had just been clinked was shattered by her face full of disgust.
Only Xiao Ran was still feeling good about himself.
Although he didn’t get Jiang Hua today and Su Mingyuan also acted in front of him, things always happen for a reason.
Instead, he deepened his cooperation with Murong Hongxue.
With the cool breeze blowing on the street, Xiao Ran’s mouth showed a faint smile.
The Viper whispered beside him, “Qingdi, don’t let your guard down. That Murong Hongxue says she wants to help you by providing manpower, but I think she’s really eyeing your company! Sure, with her help, your company and career may flourish, but whether it will still be under your control is another matter entirely!”
“Viper, I’m well aware of what you’re saying.” Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder and chuckled. “But have you considered the other side of this? It’s also an opportunity to force Murong Hongxue to hitch her chariot to mine. The more she helps me and the closer we work together, the more she will be seen as being on my side by outsiders.”
“The power of Murong Hongxue is indispensable in my fight against my enemies. With this opportunity, I can hitch her wagon to mine and make her… mine!”
