Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother

Chapter 85: Chen Luo Prefers to Bring Happiness to Adults

Li Tings eyes, seething with malice, were locked on Xiao Qingxue. She longed to mar Xiao Qingxues face with scars, ruining her beauty.

Li Ting wondered whether Luo Zixuan and Ye Chen would still fancy Xiao Qingxue if her appearance was destroyed. Given a bottle of sulfuric acid, Li Ting would have thrown it at Xiao Qingxue without hesitation.

Li Ting, when have I ever wronged you? Xiao Qingxue confronted her with indignation.

Xiao Qingxue recognized Li Ting, who, like herself, was well-known in Magic City. Yet, while Xiao Qingxue was renowned for her beauty, Li Tings fame was less commendable. The contrast between them was stark. Xiao Qingxue, the icy beauty, and Li Ting, a freckled, heavyset woman known for her obnoxious demeanor.

You harlot! You lured Luo Zixuan, and now Ye Chen. How can you say you havent wronged me? Li Tings face quivered with fury, clearly showing her anger.

But wait, why was Xiao Qingxue dressed as a maid?

Seeing Chen Luo behind Xiao Qingxue, Li Tings face contorted into a sneer.

Still luring men, huh? Just a fox in maids clothing.

Li Ting drew out her phone, aiming to capture Xiao Qingxues image. She was determined to show Ye Chen the true nature of this deceitful vixen.

As Xiao Qingxue realized Li Tings intent to photograph her, her complexion turned ashen. She suddenly remembered she was clad in a maids outfit. While she could handle being seen in such attire by Chen Luo, Zhao Yingxuan, Xia Lan, and Chun Mei, the thought of others seeing her like this was something Xiao Qingxue found utterly intolerable.

For Xiao Qingxue, especially as the CEO of Yongqiang Group, being seen in a maids outfit by her employees would utterly demolish her authority and dignity.

Reacting swiftly, Xiao Qingxue knocked Li Tings phone out of her hand.

You dare hit me?

Li Tings face contorted with rage, and she raised her large hand to slap Xiao Qingxue. Given her size, Xiao Qingxue was at a distinct disadvantage.

Miss Li, my maid is not someone you can just hit, Chen Luo interjected, grabbing Li Tings wrist and halting her slap in mid-air.

Xiao Qingxue, observing Chen Luo suddenly stepping in front of her, momentarily paused, wondering why she felt safe behind him. It must be an illusion, this man was the most dangerous of all.

Chen Luo gently pushed Li Ting aside and subtly wiped his hand on Xiao Qingxues clothes, as if to cleanse it from touching Li Ting. Chen Luo admitted to himself that he was superficial. He preferred beautiful women and disliked unattractive ones like Li Ting.

Xiao Qingxue frowned at Chen Luos gesture.

You dare to attack me? Li Tings face, already unattractive, became even more distorted in anger. Yet, when she looked straight at Chen Luo, her gaze turned intense, sending a shiver through him.

Oh no, this woman better not start fancying me just because Im good-looking, Chen Luo thought. Being liked was one thing, but not by someone unattractive like Li Ting. He couldnt stomach that.

Jealousy seethed within Li Ting. Why did all the men Xiao Qingxue charmed seem so superior?

Li Ting, who had previously seen Chen Luos photo and knew of his animosity with Ye Chen was taken aback by Chen Luos real-life charisma, which surpassed his photographs. She almost felt a shift in her affections, but her heart still leaned towards Ye Chen, likely a result of the storys trajectory.

For Chen Luo, her not developing feelings for him was definitely a welcome outcome.

If you apologize to me personally, I might forgive you. If not, dont blame me for what comes next, Li Ting stated, her gaze fixed on Chen Luo.

Apologize? Chen Luo inwardly scoffed at the thought. Would she believe it if he slapped her right now? However, he restrained himself. Li Ting could still be useful, if only to spite Ye Chen, the protagonist.

Miss Li, I understand youre quite smitten with Ye Chen? Chen Luo attempted to smile warmly at her.

Li Ting was momentarily taken aback by his smile, then responded gruffly, What about it?

What if I could help you win over Ye Chen? How would you repay me?

This proposition lit up Li Tings eyes with excitement as she gazed eagerly at Chen Luo. You can really make that happen?

Though momentarily swayed by Chen Luos attractiveness, her loyalty still lay with Ye Chen. However, the idea of experiencing a fling with this handsome man intrigued her. Li Ting wasnt exactly a paragon of virtue herself, having had her fair share of kept men.

If Chen Luo knew what she was thinking, he might lose his restraint and deal with this repulsive woman once and for all. Not even a fortune of a hundred billion would make him lower his standards for Li Ting.

Do you have a pla?

Miss Li, as youre well aware, theres no free lunch in this world. Even matchmakers expect something in return, Chen Luo said with a subtle smile. He was looking to gain from Ye Chens situation.

But wait, this wasnt about exploiting Ye Chen. How could finding him such an excellent wife be considered exploitation? This was Chen Luo doing a good deed, reveling in the joy of helping others.

What do you want in return? Li Ting asked.

Im rather straightforward. Nothing fancy, just money.

How much?

Upon hearing the request for money, Li Tings demeanor turned unexpectedly lavish, her confidence soaring. Money was the last thing the Li family worried about, and Li Ting herself was no stranger to wealth. The idea of securing Ye Chen with a simple financial transaction seemed almost too easy for her.

The amount? Well, thats tricky to specify. It really depends on how much youre prepared to offer, and just how deeply you love Ye Chen, Chen Luo responded with a sly grin.

Li Ting was like a wealthy target, no leaner than Luo Zixuan.

If you dare to deceive me, be prepared for the consequences. Give me your bank account information.

Chen Luo smoothly provided his account details. Shortly after, the transfer was complete, and he inhaled sharply, having underestimated Li Tings willingness to splurge.

She transferred an astonishing three hundred million yuan to him, far exceeding his initial expectations.

Now that youre satisfied with the money, can you tell me how to win Ye Chens heart? she asked.

Fairly satisfied, Chen Luo responded, maintaining an almost reluctantly content expression.

Truthfully, winning over Ye Chen will be extremely difficult for you. With your current situation, theres practically no chance, Chen Luo assessed Li Ting with a frank gaze.

Li Tings face turned grim, her features hardening as she fixed a fierce stare on Chen Luo. Are you toying with me?

Should Chen Luo be deceiving her, she was resolute in teaching him the severity of trifling with her.

Im not toying with you. Realistically, Ye Chen wouldnt give you a second glance under normal circumstances. To capture his heart, youll need to resort to some unorthodox tactics.

What kind of tactics?

The classic turning the uncooked rice into a cooked meal approach. Once the deed is done, you leverage the Li familys clout to compel him to take responsibility. How could he possibly refuse? Chen Luos expression bore a deviously cunning undertone.

If Li Ting succeeded in this ploy with Ye Chen, it would likely be a fate worse than death for him. Li Tings eyes lit up at the idea, hastily wiping the drool from her mouth before asking about the specifics of this plan.

You dont need to lift a finger. Having accepted your payment, its my responsibility to ensure everything is arranged. I didnt take your money for nothing.

As the saying goes, When sending the Buddha, escort him to the west. Since Li Ting had generously parted with three hundred million yuan, Chen Luo felt obligated to leave her thoroughly satisfied.

Naturally, this was mostly because Chen Luo doubted Li Tings ability to pull off such a scheme on her own. Without his direct involvement, the likelihood of her successfully executing this plan was next to nil.
