Chapter 237: Chen Muyu’s “Surprise”

This day.

Morning.

Chen Muyu wanted to go out for a stroll again.

And her lackey Xu Liang had been kept busy by the young miss, running errands with no free time at all.

Thinking about today’s plot, Xu Liang originally wanted to take a day off, but upon hearing the destination, he changed his mind.

He was pleasantly surprised.

“…Yu Zhao Park… isn’t this the place where Long Ritian meets his capable subordinate Yu Hu!”

In “Urban Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King,” Long Ritian’s trusted henchman was a middle-aged man named Yu Hu.

With late-stage Dark Energy strength, he could even match Long Ritian in the early stages!

Long Ritian managed to win Yu Hu over because Yu Hu had an ailment.

Due to an accident in his early years, his entire right leg was crippled, greatly diminishing his strength.

When the two met by chance in the park, guided by the protagonist’s halo, Long Ritian suddenly had a moment of “great compassion” and healed Yu Hu’s leg without expecting anything in return.

Touched deeply, Yu Hu immediately became Long Ritian’s loyal follower.

“But now… I will be the one to win over Yu Hu!”

Eagerly, Xu Liang followed Chen Muyu’s instructions and drove to the park.

While trailing behind the aimlessly wandering Chen Muyu, he kept an eye on the people in the park.

Soon, he spotted a dejected middle-aged man dragging a leg while walking.

“That’s him!”

Xu Liang was thrilled.

If he could win over Yu Hu, even without the Chen family’s help, he could face Long Ritian head-on!

Rushing over, he called out.

“Wait a moment!”

“…What is it?” Yu Hu’s voice was somewhat gruff.

“Sir, I’m a physician.”

Xu Liang’s tone was serious, “I see… your leg seems to have issues. If not treated promptly, it could threaten your life!”

“…I know.”

“Then why not get it treated?”

“No money.”

“…”

Hearing Yu Hu’s reason, Xu Liang paused, then made a decision that seemed to betray his ancestors.

“If you trust me, I can treat you for free!”

“…No money, so what do you want?”

“Nothing.”

“A healer’s heart is compassionate. To me, it’s just a small effort, but it could save a life. I must help!”

Xu Liang’s righteous tone shone like a beacon of virtue, and Yu Hu seemed moved.

However, at that moment.

Chen Muyu kicked Xu Liang hard on the butt.

“Zhang Liang, are you out of your mind!”

“You have experience? A medical license? What if you kill him by treating him? How will you take responsibility?”

Chen Muyu was furious.

This Zhang Liang not only left his post without permission but also wanted to treat a stranger!

What if he turned out like the previous Xu Liang, making things worse with his treatment!

She started scolding him.

“Zhang Liang, let me tell you, your predecessor Xu Liang was just like you, thinking he was great, practicing medicine without a license, treating people on a whim, and almost killing someone!”

“In the end, he was arrested by the police, and out of shame, he died of sudden cardiac arrest on the way!”

“Tell me, wasn’t he a super dumb idiot who thought he was important?”

“…”

Seeing Xu Liang’s silence, Chen Muyu was displeased.

“Say it!”

“…He was indeed idiot.”

“Good! You mustn’t be like that dumb idiot!”

“But I have confidence…”

Xu Liang tried to argue but was immediately cut off.

“Confidence? Don’t you know that those who drown are the ones who can swim!”

“Hmph! To make sure you learn your lesson, say it with me—”

“I will never be like that super dumb idiot Xu Liang!”

Xu Liang: “……”

“Hurry up!”

Xu Liang told himself, I’m now Zhang Liang!

“I will never be like that super dumb idiot Xu Liang…”

Chen Muyu scolded, “Louder!”

“If you can’t even say it loudly, how can you be my lackey?”

“……”

“I will never be like that super dumb idiot Xu Liang!”

“I will never be like that super dumb idiot Xu Liang!!”

After Xu Liang shouted, Chen Muyu nodded with satisfaction.

“Good! Very spirited!”

“I believe you’ve learned your lesson!”

After saying that, Chen Muyu turned to Yu Hu, who was watching in disbelief.

“Sorry for the spectacle!”

“……It’s fine.”

Yu Hu shook his head and walked away with his crippled leg.

Seeing his retreating figure, Xu Liang panicked, wanting to speak, but Chen Muyu glared at him.

“Sigh, I should’ve avoided the young miss!”

“No, I have to win over Yu Hu today!”

But just as Xu Liang was thinking of an excuse to leave, he spotted a familiar figure.

Long Ritian.

Xu Liang didn’t want to deal with Long Ritian now, but as a lackey, he had to follow his young miss.

Chen Muyu approached Long Ao.

“What a coincidence! Brother Ao! Today, I have some good news for you!”

Long Ao was puzzled, “What good news?”

“Well… the good news is—”

“Su Yan is getting married!!”

“Married?! To whom?!”

Seeing Long Ao’s shocked expression, Chen Muyu gleefully pointed to Xu Liang behind her.

“Of course, to him!”

“My lackey Zhang Liang!”

“Haha, him?”

Seeing Zhang Liang’s ordinary appearance, Long Ritian burst into laughter.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He’s unworthy!”

“Chen Muyu, I know you like me, so you’re making up these lies to slander Su Yan.”

After laughing, Long Ao’s tone turned serious.

“Now I can clearly tell you, I don’t like you!”

“Give up!”

“You…!”

Hearing this, Chen Muyu was genuinely angry.

It was one thing to reject her before, but now saying such things!

She was furious.

“Fine, Long Ao!”

“Then let me tell you clearly, Su Yan’s marriage is real!”

“My dad has already gotten the Su family to agree!”

Chen Muyu turned to Xu Liang.

“Lackey, tell me, do you want to marry Su Yan?”

Hearing Chen Muyu’s words, Xu Liang was equally shocked—

What the heck! A lackey like me marrying the female lead and putting a hat on the male lead?!

This is too ridiculous!

But, no choice!

I’m just a lackey, how can I go against the young miss’s words?

“At your command, young miss!”

“Great! Since you agreed, you can’t back out!”

“I’ll arrange for the wedding to happen soon!”

Giving a triumphant glance at Long Ao, who was frowning, Chen Muyu left with Xu Liang.

As they approached a pavilion in the park.

She suddenly stopped.

“Lackey, I have a surprise for you today!”

Xu Liang was curious, “What is it?”

“Actually, I came to the park today to let you meet Su Yan and discuss the marriage!”

“Look, she’s right there!”

“But now she’s your fiancée, so you go and talk to her!”

Hearing this, Xu Liang looked over and indeed saw a beautiful figure.

That outfit and hairstyle… it was Su Yan!

Thinking of the breathtaking face he had seen before, Xu Liang couldn’t help but get excited.

Unexpectedly! It was effortless!

Indeed, being a lackey is great!

With excitement, Xu Liang walked over.

In the short ten seconds it took, he thought a lot.

Su Yan must have agreed to the marriage for the sake of family interests, right?

Since that’s the case, he shouldn’t rush; he should show his gentle and considerate side.

For instance… proposing a prenuptial agreement, agreeing that their marriage is just for show, and they won’t interfere with each other afterward.

This way, Su Yan would know he was forced into marriage by the Chen family, creating a sense of shared suffering.

Moreover, even if it’s a fake marriage, given Su Yan’s personality, she would keep her distance from other men.

He could slowly win her over!

With a bit more effort…

Thinking of Long Ritian and Wang Haoran fiercely fighting over the female lead while she lay in his arms…

Xu Liang trembled with excitement.

“Miss Su.”

Looking at the beautiful figure, Xu Liang reached out and tapped her shoulder.

The person turned around—

And Xu Liang, who was eagerly anticipating Su Yan’s stunning face, saw a—

Man’s face!

Rugged features, thick eyebrows, a stubbly beard, and a large black mole above the lip.

“…!!!”

Seeing this face, Xu Liang instinctively withdrew his hand.

“Yo, yo, yo, yo, haha, yo, haha~ Little thing, you sure look unique!”

The person’s rough voice spoke, “What do you want?”

Xu Liang forced himself to stay calm and lightly patted her shoulder.

“…There was a red dragonfly on your shoulder just now, now it’s gone!”

Laughing awkwardly, Xu Liang quickly exited the pavilion.

Seeing Chen Muyu smiling not far away, he couldn’t help but complain.

Young miss, you said this bearded man was Su Yan?

You gotta be kidding me!!!
