NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24
Chapter 024:
At this moment, more than ten girls entered the room, all in different styles.
Some were wearing Chinese dresses, while others were in uniforms, such as air hostesses, school, and nurse uniforms; some were plump, while others were slender, and there were mature ladies as well as twin ponytails.
There was even a cosplay girl with cat ears?
Wasn’t this going too far?!
Chen Lang felt stunned and even a little dizzy, “How can Xiao Mingyue be so colorful? This is true colorfulness!”
“As long as you accept the shares, they are all yours! You can play with them however you like!”
Jiang Mengyao’s tempting voice sounded in Chen Lang’s ears, making him stunned.
Wow, was she serious?!
Was she really trying to make him lose his mind?
He had to admit it! His biggest weakness of being a villain was his current weak willpower!
After all, who could resist this kind of temptation?
But accepting the shares wouldn’t be a good idea!
This was the future scene about the protagonist’s romantic plotline.
It was just the beginning now, and a few plot failures wouldn’t cause too much trouble.
But if the romantic plot collapsed, that would be a real disaster!
Seeing Chen Lang’s conflicted expression, Jiang Mengyao felt secretly delighted.
Hmph, he always brought up Xiao Mingyue whenever he talked to her!
Wasn’t he pretending to be deeply in love with her?
As long as he accepted her ‘colorful’ gift today! Let’s see if he’d still dare to use Xiao Mingyue as a shield in front of her!
In the end, Chen Lang painstakingly refused.
“Ahem, my back… No, my will doesn’t allow me to do this!”
“Thank you, sisters, but I have something to attend to at home. I’ll take my leave.”
Chen Lang lowered his head, ready to wheel himself out.
But when he tried to move the wheelchair forward with his hands, the wheels didn’t move?!
Chen Lang looked down and was instantly dumbfounded.
What the heck???
The wheelchair wheels were tied to the table legs with a bike lock?!
The table nearby was made of heavy solid wood. No wonder the wheels wouldn’t move when he tried to turn them!
Damn it, was it okay to bully a disabled person like this?
Without a doubt, this must be Jiang Mengyao’s doing!
Jiang Mengyao smirked, “The atmosphere is already set. It wouldn’t be nice for you to just leave like this!”
“Here’s the deal, you can choose one girl at a time. Those you don’t like can leave, and those you find pleasing can stay.”
Chen Lang had no choice but to say things against his will to keep the plot going.
“This one’s too big.”
“Oh, this one’s too small.”
“…”
“I don’t like the eyebrows on this one.”
“Too enthusiastic! I don’t like it.”
“…”
“White stockings, you’re out!”
“Why are you pretending to be a little cat? Be normal, please?”
In this way, all the girls were driven out with various excuses, and Chen Lang endured the pain in his heart.
‘System!’
‘This time, I made a huge sacrifice for the sake of the plot development!’
‘Please treat me, the host, better in the future, okay?’
Jiang Mengyao waved to let all the girls leave, then locked the door to the private room.
She then approached Chen Lang’s wheelchair, and her eyes brightened.
“Did you just confess to me just now?”
“What?”
“White stockings, too enthusiastic, too big or small, I don’t have any flaws you hate.”
“Aren’t those girls rejected based on my standards?” Jiang Mengyao said as she slowly approached Chen Lang’s wheelchair. Her slender black silk gently brushed against Chen Lang’s uninjured leg.
Chen Lang felt like he was about to explode!
Was there no end to her bullying?!
She had locked his wheelchair with a chain, and now she was trying to seduce him?
Didn’t she know this was his only weakness as the villain?
No.
For the sake of the bigger picture in the future, he couldn’t fall for this female devil’s trick!
“Miss Jiang, please restrain yourself! Even if you get me, you won’t get my heart.”
Sensing Chen Lang’s change in tone and expression, Jiang Mengyao’s expression quickly changed, and her flirtatious demeanor disappeared instantly.
“Look at you, it was just a joke!”
She bent down, unlocked the chain that locked the wheelchair, and said before Chen Lang could speak, “Don’t rush to refuse me, okay? Consider accepting the shares.”
“With your identity, you can ensure my Jiang family’s safety. You don’t have to do anything, just enjoy the profits. And the business we do is absolutely clean.”
Pushing Chen Lang’s wheelchair, she left the private room and escorted him all the way to the entrance of the clubhouse.
Chen Lang bid her farewell at the clubhouse entrance.
“Miss Jiang, you don’t need to see me off. I’ll discuss the matter of investing with my family.”
“From now on, don’t call me Miss Jiang, call me Mengyao.”
Jiang Mengyao handed a perfume bottle to Chen Lang, “This bottle of ‘Gentle Breeze’ is for you. I’ll keep the Dark Night perfume. Next time I meet you, I hope to smell the scent of the gentle breeze on you.”
Watching Chen Lang drive away, Jiang Mengyao suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Everything in the private room was half true and half false, and the main purpose was to ensure the Jiang family’s safety.
Jiang Mengyao didn’t deny she had a favorable impression of Chen Lang, nor did she refuse to let him take advantage of her a little.
But she couldn’t say she liked Chen Lang.
But still, she didn’t expect Chen Lang to reject her initiative so heartlessly.
It was as if he was afraid of being near her.
This made her feel slightly disheartened.
Was she really that terrifying in his eyes…
