Chapter 236: Xu Liang’s Little Scheme

After making Chen Muyu submit to his terms, Wang Haoran began acting from the shadows.

After all, it was Long Ritian who had to face Xu Liang head-on!

However, this Xu Liang not only changed his appearance but also renamed himself “Zhang Liang”!

He was clearly thinking of strategizing from the shadows, winning battles from afar!

Because Xu Liang kept firmly believing that Wang Haoran was Su Yan’s simp, there was even a time when he sought Wang Haoran’s help to deal with Long Ao!

What a joke!

This amusing incident that made Wang Haoran want to laugh happened one evening.

At that time, Wang Haoran was dining alone in a restaurant, and “coincidentally,” Chen Muyu was there too.

So, the lackey Xu Liang took advantage of Chen Muyu’s mealtime to sneak over and strike up a conversation.

His first words were—

“Mr. Wang Haoran, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

Wang Haoran “surprisedly” frowned, “You know me?”

“Of course!” Xu Liang smiled, “I’ve heard a lot about your dedicated pursuit of Miss Su Yan!”

“And who are you?”

“Zhang Liang! Just a lackey of the young miss of the Chen family, an unknown nobody. Naturally, you wouldn’t have heard of me.”

Although Xu Liang said he was just a lackey, his relaxed demeanor suggested he was quite familiar with Wang Haoran.

Casually, he sat down opposite Wang Haoran.

“Mr. Wang, your devotion to Miss Su Yan is truly admirable!”

“Unfortunately, Miss Su Yan hasn’t noticed your worth!”

“…If you’re here to talk nonsense, you can leave!”

Being reminded of this, Wang Haoran was somewhat displeased, but Xu Liang continued to smile, speaking slowly.

“Mr. Wang, don’t be hasty!”

“I’m here to help you!”

His tone was full of mystery.

“Do you know why Miss Su Yan hasn’t accepted you?”

“Why?” Wang Haoran inquired.

“Simple, Miss Su Yan hasn’t accepted you because—”

“Because of a man named Long Ao!”

“Long Ao? Impossible!”

Wang Haoran didn’t believe it at all.

“He’s just a country bumpkin with some medical skills! How could Su Yan like him!”

“Heh, Mr. Wang, don’t be so skeptical!”

Xu Liang began to explain.

“You should know, Long Ao cured Old Master Su, so the Su family is very grateful to him.”

“And Miss Su Yan is very filial and listens to her elders.”

“Moreover… Long Ao, this country bumpkin, may not have other skills, but he’s very good at sweet-talking women!”

“Why do you think he visits the Su family so often?”

“…”

Wang Haoran fell silent, seemingly “somewhat convinced” by Xu Liang’s words.

Then, looking “perplexed,” he stared at Xu Liang.

“This has nothing to do with you, right? Why are you here talking to me?”

“I don’t believe you’re just here to help me!”

“…Mr. Wang, you’re very cautious!”

Xu Liang shrugged.

“Indeed, I’m here to propose cooperation!”

“Cooperation? With you?”

“You’re with the Chen family, but you’re just a lackey. How much power can you wield?” Wang Haoran sneered.

But Xu Liang was confident.

“…What if I said… this cooperation is at the behest of our young miss?”

“…Chen Muyu?”

“Exactly!”

“Why is she involved in this?”

“Sigh, it’s because of Long Ao!”

Xu Liang sighed, looking helpless.

“Our young miss likes him, but he’s oblivious and only likes Miss Su Yan.”

“So, the young miss decided to have me help you.”

“If you and Su Yan get together, Long Ao will give up and turn to her!”

“…Is that so…”

Wang Haoran nodded.

However, in the end, he rejected Xu Liang’s proposal.

His tone was confident.

“I don’t need your help, I can handle that country bumpkin on my own!”

“…Then I wish Mr. Wang success in winning his lady!”

Seeing Wang Haoran so resolute, Xu Liang had no choice but to leave him with those words and return to stand by Chen Muyu.

But looking at Wang Haoran still calmly eating, he felt a bit helpless—kind words can’t persuade a dead man, this Wang Haoran was indeed a typical brainless villain!

Refusing help, determined to handle the male lead alone, full of confidence, thinking dealing with a country bumpkin was a piece of cake.

The result would definitely be the country bumpkin turning the tables!

Xu Liang sighed.

However, Wang Haoran was both handsome and capable, running a flourishing business at a young age.

Because he fell for Su Yan at first sight, he became a simp, even following her to T City!

Yet, Su Yan, the female lead, had no feelings for him, and found his persistent pursuit quite annoying.

“Sigh, that’s how it is, after all, this is ‘Urban Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King!’ Long Ritian is the protagonist!”

“Female lead not liking a known well-off guy, but instead liking a mysterious, unkempt, unknown Long Ritian!”

“The better Wang Haoran is, the more satisfying it is for the protagonist to stomp on him!”

However, Wang Haoran’s lack of cooperation wasn’t much of an issue for Xu Liang.

For the female lead Su Yan, Long Ritian and Wang Haoran were bound to clash inevitably.

When that time comes, as the two fight, he, the fisherman, would reap the benefits!

However, what Xu Liang didn’t know was that at this moment, his young miss was thinking—

“As long as I follow instructions and do things right, Wang Haoran will add a stroke next to the name on my leg!”

“He promised that once he finishes writing two ‘正’ characters, he’ll set me free!”

“I need to work hard!”

(tln : man… xu liang is definitely the most delusional out of other protagonist…
