Chapter 131: Are Protagonists Really That Dumb?
The three settled down.
“Let’s hear it! What was Ye Chen’s reaction after he found out I was here? What kind of bizarre methods has he come up with now?” Lu Li’s tone was mocking, as if he didn’t take Ye Chen seriously at all.
Of course, Lu Li wouldn’t underestimate Ye Chen; after all, he was the protagonist of another world. But to say he had a high opinion of Ye Chen now? Absolutely not. Yu Meng had broken two of his fingers, the protagonist’s invincibility had already been shattered, and the Heavenly Dragon Organization hadn’t made it into the country. Lu Li didn’t need to be overly cautious.
Chen Ya’s expression changed subtly, her eyelids lowered, feeling a bit uncomfortable with Lu Li’s indifferent attitude.
“Ye Chen, after knowing you’ve arrived, was very angry, furious even, and wanted to kill you directly for revenge,” she said earnestly.
In front of Lu Li, she had no initiative.
“Good!” Lu Li nodded, pleased. The anger of one’s enemies was the best compliment.
Yu Meng smirked with disdain.
That Ye Chen actually thinking of killing his way in? Wishful thinking. If he truly dared, Yu Meng herself would deal with him directly.
“And then... on my father’s request, Ye Chen calmed down. They... they want to host a banquet, inviting all the elites of Magic City, including you, Lu... Total, intending to embarrass you publicly, while also trying to win over some families against you,” Chen Ya gritted her teeth and said.
In the previous life, Lu Li had attended this banquet hosted by the Chen family. He was ridiculed and embarrassed, including by her, and everyone mocked him, leading to his hasty departure.
Including Zhang Ziqin and Lu Ya, those two women.
She remembered, in the previous life, only that young master from the Li family stood by Lu Li’s side, glaring at them, and eventually left with Lu Li.
It felt like her heart was being squeezed. Her biggest fear was history repeating itself.
“Heh, inviting me! Really sees himself as someone with a divine mandate to rule from on high!” Lu Li said mockingly.
“He invites me, and I’m supposed to go?” Did he take me for a fool? Ye Chen really hasn’t grown at all!
In the previous life, it was because of the plot. This time, why should I go?
His two sweethearts were in the midst of a heartfelt reunion, and Chen Xiaoyi was particularly aggrieved, even though Cao Yingying said the big picture mattered more and let Lu Li come down first, her eyes also held some grievances.
Chen Ya’s shouting downstairs had spoiled the mood, as if being forced to hold back midway through a bathroom break.
“Yes, Master Brother!” A hint of amusement flashed in Yu Meng’s eyes.
“Miss Chen, please!” Turning around, Yu Meng’s face was now a cold mask, her gaze icy as she looked at Chen Ya.
“No, President Lu, please listen to me...” Chen Ya struggled to say something but was forcefully pulled out by Yu Meng.
Lu Li shrugged, feeling fortunate and peaceful with Yu Meng at home.
Leisurely walking upstairs, the unfinished business was now to be completed.
***
Chen Ya sat stunned in her car, driven out by Lu Li again like an unwanted stray dog, her mood inevitably a bit unbalanced.
Since you don’t want my help, I’ll be your enemy, let you see the consequences of offending me.
Such a defiant mood flashed through Chen Ya’s mind, then disappeared. What right did she have to act that way? Not to mention whether she had the ability, once she handed over all her leverage to Lu Li, the outcome was sealed.
Besides, could she really bring herself to oppose Lu Li?
He might no longer be the naive boy who wanted to expose Ye Chen’s true nature, but he was still an exceptional man.
The man she loved.
With a wry smile, she realized she was indeed wrong. As Lu Li said, wanting both fame and benefits was too presumptuous.
To have Lu Li eliminate Ye Chen, then she could inherit the Chen family without worries, without doing anything, even her father couldn’t complain.
A bitter smile emerged. She had no such intentions, but subconsciously, that’s what she wanted to do. That’s always been her approach, just... a habit.
The truth was, Lu Li had no reason to do all this for her.
