Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 271

Huo Chengming coldly stared at the blood on Wen Yongchen’s face, completely indifferent.

Heh, what does he count as? Daring to coerce Zhong Yuhuan?

“I sincerely want to help you, even if you don’t like me at all. If you want to escape from his taboo love, then a quick fling would be a great choice…”

Even though he already knew that Wen Yongchen was referring to Li Jinyuan, Huo Chengming still felt like a needle had struck into his own body, making his fury surge.

“I can cooperate with whatever you want.”

Those words were even more disgusting. The difference between him and Huanhuan was like the difference between heaven and earth, yet he still had the audacity to say those high-profile words.

A cold light shone from Huo Chengming’s disgust-filled eyes.

Wen Yongchen, who was dazed by anger and shamefulness, unconsciously shivered, suddenly remembering what the person in front of him was capable of. He also remembered what type of mercenary group came to pick them up in Turkey…

Wen Yongchen gritted his teeth, wanting to admit his wrongs yet also feeling that it would be too shameful, so he couldn’t open his mouth.

He stared at the tea bowl in Huo Chengming’s hand, the panic in his eyes finally unable to be contained…

“Stop.” Zhong Yuhuan grabbed Huo Chengming’s sleeve. “That is enough.”

Zhong Yuhuan was also pretty annoyed by Wen Yongchen’s previous words, but she didn’t need death to atone for it. He was just plotting a little too much and his words were a bit ugly – they shouldn’t hospitalize him for just that, right? Breaking his nose also wasn’t necessary. He would need to redo the operation…

Huo Chengming didn’t move.

He continued to stare at Wen Yongchen, his eyes shining coldly like a wolf.

Wen Yongchen slowly let out a breath, only then daring to say, “I don’t know which part offended Mr. Huo, but Mr. Huo’s actions may be a bit too impolite…”

Zhong Yuhuan rolled her eyes and pried Huo Chengming’s fingers open.

Her fingers were soft, and Huo Chengming’s hand went soft as well when they touched. His grip on the tea bowl naturally loosened, obediently letting Zhong Yuhuan take the “murder weapon” away, just like the time she took his gun away.

Huo Chengming’s expression didn’t change, but it seemed like he transformed from a wolf to instantly becoming an affable dog.

“Relax.” Zhong Yuhuan patted his arm again because it was still very stiff from his tensed muscles.

Huo Chengming relaxed upon hearing that.

Wen Yongchen struggled to hurriedly sit up. With a dark expression, he straightened his collar, then tried his best to curb his thoughts about going against Huo Chengming.

What he did instead was turn to Zhong Yuhuan. It was very clear that he could only rely on her.

Zhong Yuhuan rubbed her forehead, then gave the card to Wen Yongchen again. “Take it. You really need medical expenses this time… The Yangs have a film project directed by Director Xu. He always takes his time on his films, ensuring the quality, so the public is very optimistic about this project…”

Zhong Yuhuan was only a bit lazy and won’t bother with anything else when she’s comfortable. However, she’s not dumb. She was clear about what Wen Yongchen liked her for and wanted to get from her.

Wen Yongchen’s eyes twitched.

He did want this.

Director Xu was a famous director, and the people wanting to be in his movies weren’t just him. To a larger extent, all of them were actors who had won large awards.

What Wen Yongchen was aiming for was more than Director Xu. He wanted to go above and beyond the level where he could act in any director’s work he chose.

But he couldn’t.

It was the biggest problem he faced.

Even if he was more popular and had more fans, he still couldn’t do it.

He also needed money and power.

But Zhong Yuhuan could do it. Although she’s young and female, she had the things that most people couldn’t obtain even if they spent their whole lives striving for it.

Wen Yongchen took a deep breath.

The more he realized this, the more sure he was that he could not give her up.

A smile tugged at Wen Yongchen’s sore mouth. “Yuhuan, you really don’t need to give it to me. It’s fine. It’s enough that I know that Yuhuan doesn’t hold any ill intentions towards me. I said a lot of inappropriate things today, and I apologize for it. It won’t happen next time.”

Huo Chengming coldly observed this scene. How could he not see through Wen Yongchen’s thoughts?

It looked like beating him up once or twice wasn’t enough. Is he actually looking for death?

Zhong Yuhuan was also troubled.

Didn’t Han Yingying say that he’s a smart person?

Smart my ass!

Still being hung up on me… Does he think that Huo Chengming is just for show? He’s undeniably the main villain in the original novel!

Zhong Yuhuan’s face immediately cooled. “This is the only compensation I can give to Mr. Wen. If Mr. Wen isn’t satisfied, then you can talk with my lawyer. It’s late now.”

As Zhong Yuhuan said that, she tugged on Huo Chengming’s sleeve.

Huo Chengming, who was big and forceful just a moment ago, was easily pulled along by a slight tug.

Huo Chengming reversed her hold, carefully holding her hand as if he wanted to separate the him now from the him before, lest Zhong Yuhuan be afraid. Then, he quietly said, “Huanhuan, let’s go.”

Zhong Yuhuan nodded but didn’t pull her hand away.
