NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9
Chapter 009:
[Hahaha, suddenly I thought of something interesting!]
[If I were to marry tomorrow, it would be a short pain for Xiao Mingyue]
[But now that the wedding is postponed]
[Xiao Mingyue’s short pain has turned into long pain, hahaha!]
[Even after a month later, she’ll have to marry someone she hates]
[The key is, she can’t stop it!]
[Haha, Xiao Mingyue must be feeling miserable!]
[But this has nothing to do with me. I’m just a hardworking and simple little villain]
[These matters are better left for the protagonist and female leads to worry about!]
Reading this, Xiao Mingyue clenched her phone and gritted her teeth in anger.
This Chen Lang was really infuriating!
He was reveling in others’ misfortunes!
This wasn’t even his doing?!
Despicable…
Xiao Mingyue felt conflicted.
Her second uncle, the patriarch of the Xiao family, and Xiao Mingyue’s grandmother had both made it clear to her that the engagement with the Chen family in the capital was set in stone and couldn’t be changed.
No matter how much she resisted, it would surely be futile.
If she were still in her previous furious state, she might have actually fled before the wedding tomorrow.
That would only make matters worse for both families because of her actions.
Now that she had calmed down, she realized that running away from the wedding would only put the Xiao family in a terrible position.
The Chen family’s influence on the capital was something the Xiao family couldn’t resist, after all.
Especially Chen Lang’s father, who could quickly bring down the Xiao family.
She couldn’t afford to provoke, nor could she escape.
She was really miserable!
Xiao Mingyue pursed her lips and blamed it all on Chen Lang!
The things he stirred up are still causing trouble now!
[Speaking of this plot, the Chen family wasn’t the one actually threatened the Xiao family]
[There’s actually another hidden plot]
[It’s just that the Xiao family isn’t aware of it]
[There’s a logical loophole because my parents wanted me to marry into a major family in the capital]
[The Xiao family’s power in Nanjiang isn’t as strong as the Chen family’s]
[But since I’m playing the role of an emotionally attached villain, it’s already good enough that they don’t oppose it. So, how could they possibly threaten the Xiao family for engagement?]
Xiao Mingyue keenly felt that something was off about Chen Lang.
His tone!
Definitely not the same Chen Lang who used to pester her relentlessly!
She wondered if it could really be a novel world?
And what was the meaning of another hidden plot?
Could it be that the Chen family wasn’t threatening the Xiao family?
But they didn’t clarify it!
Even Chen Lang’s diary was incomplete. It was really frustrating!
[I used to feel like I was the most miserable, a villain who has to play even if I don’t want to]
[But now, looking at it this way, Xiao Mingyue is also quite miserable, hahaha, unwilling to marry but can’t escape]
[Both of us are miserable people]
[There’s no choice; it’s all part of the plot]
[The more the female lead suffers now, the more heroic the protagonist’s figure running with her at the wedding!]
[If scoundrels don’t harass the female lead, how can the protagonist save her?]
[If the female lead doesn’t stumble, where would the protagonist’s broad and warm arms be needed?]
[If the female lead isn’t seriously ill, who would the protagonist use his medical skills to treat?]
[It’s all the same old plot of urban novels!]
[Hahaha, being a villain all these years, I’ve really seen through it all! I feel like I can write a novel!]
Xiao Mingyue curled her lips and said: “Yeah, I understand it now!”
[According to my analysis based on villain experience, things are currently very stable.]
[Xiao Mingyue’s future husband has been hospitalized, and there’s not even a message of concern]
[It’s evident how angry she is]
[Stay calm, wait until she and Ye Chen run away at the wedding!]
[The following plot in the novel is still five days away]
[I can be a bit lazy these five days, but once the plot starts, things will get busy]
The diary abruptly ended here.
Xiao Mingyue waited for a while, but no updates came.
Her thoughts were like a tangled mess at this moment.
There was the worry of being forced into marriage, and then there was confusion about Chen Lang’s claim that this was the world of the novel.
Outside the office, the secretary quietly pushed open the door and walked in, holding a cup of hot coffee.
She placed it gently on the table and watched her boss’s back, tall and charming, beautiful yet noble.
But there was a hint of sadness.
Could a woman as beautiful and wealthy as CEO Xiao also have troubles?
The secretary quietly left the coffee on the table and walked toward the door.
“Xiao Qing.”
“Yes, CEO Xiao!”
Xiao Mingyue suddenly called out to the secretary.
“Come here. Have you seen this mobile app?”
Referring to ‘Villain’s Diary.’
The secretary looked at Xiao Mingyue’s phone, puzzled, “CEO Xiao, there’s nothing here!”
‘Could it be that others couldn’t see it?’
“I see; you can go now!”
“Alright, CEO Xiao, please rest early.”
“Oh, by the way,” Xiao Mingyue hesitated for a moment, “Send a fruit basket to Chen Lang on my behalf tomorrow.”
After all, the relationship between the Xiao and Chen families must be maintained for the time being.
…
The Tang family’s home was an old residential apartment in Nanjiang City.
The room was compact and small.
The furniture was also old-fashioned and had seen better days.
But under the dim lighting, the family of three sitting at the dining table seemed particularly warm.
Due to a leg injury, Mrs. Tang could only sit at the bedside.
Mr. Tang was a middle-aged man with an honest face.
This not-so-well-off family nearly ended up with a multi-million-yuan debt during the day, and Mr. Tang almost ended up in jail.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better, and a letter of understanding resolved the crisis.
At the dining table, Mr. Tang poured himself a bit of liquor, took a sip, and said, “It’s my fault today; I was in a hurry to get to the construction site, driving too fast and hitting someone.”
“Thanks to my precious daughter’s cleverness; otherwise, I would be eating prison food by now.”
Mrs. Tang still had some doubts, “It’s so much money. Why didn’t he ask for compensation?”
“Xiaofu, that rich second generation didn’t have any other demands, did he?”
