Lu Jinghuai was still angry, and his tone became somewhat harsh when he heard this.
"Madam Ye, your daughter has been kidnapped. The best thing you should do is call the police, not me, right?"
Shen Wenran listened, completely stunned.
—Holy crap, that jerk is really something.
—Every time I read a novel where the female supporting character is injured or in danger, and her first instinct isn't to call the police, I worry about their intelligence.
—This time, finally, someone with a decent IQ has appeared.
—Hehe, this scoundrel of a man looks somewhat pleasing to the eye now.
Lu Jinghuai had thought his words were inappropriate, but after hearing Shen Wenran's inner thoughts, he found them to be very reasonable.
When Madam Ye heard Lu Jinghuai's words, she could hardly believe her ears.
"Mr. Lu, you and Nanxing grew up together, how can you say such a thing?"
Lu Jinghuai now feels that the character of Ye Nanxing's mother is also problematic in the author's writing.
So now, like Shen Xingran, he also wants to silently greet the author of this book.
He calmly countered with a question: "What do you think I should say, Mrs. Ye?"
Should I say, "Please accept my condolences"?
boom--
Shen Xingran was right next to Lu Jinghuai.
At that moment, she felt like her brain was about to explode.
—Holy crap, holy crap, what's going on? Why has that scoundrel's mouth become so venomous?
—I remember in the book, the scoundrel would risk his life for his beloved, showing unconditional trust.
Why did it stop working after I got here?
Lu Jinghuai also sensed that something was wrong with him.
Madam Ye was completely petrified on the spot.
Before she could speak again, Lu Jinghuai asked, "Mrs. Ye, do you still need me to call the police for you?"
Madam Ye then realized what was happening.
"No need, Mr. Lu. It was a wise choice for me to stop my daughter from marrying you back then."
After saying this, Mrs. Ye hung up the phone immediately.
Shen Wenran didn't hear clearly what Madam Ye said at the end, so she could only look at Lu Jinghuai with longing eyes.
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Wenran out of the corner of his eye and said as if possessed, "Ye Nanxing has been kidnapped."
Shen Wenran snapped out of her thoughts and internally complained.
—If you're going to kidnap me, why are you telling me?
—Wait a minute, why is that jerk looking at me like that? Does he think I did it?
In just a moment, she started showcasing her acting skills again.
"What? Miss Ye has been kidnapped?"
"Oh my god, who could be so heartless? What should we do? Have we called the police?"
Little did she know that just as she was about to continue her performance, she was about to hear the 001 alarm again.
[Warning: The host must not deviate from their established character traits.]
Shen Wenran: [???]
001: [Host, haven't you noticed that you're concerned about Miss Ye?]
Shen Wenran: [...]
After being reminded by the system, Shen Wenran immediately adjusted her state.
"I think I just heard Mrs. Ye contact you. Is it to ask for a ransom?"
Lu Jinghuai: "..."
The sudden change in style caught him off guard.
Then, Shen Wenran angrily said, "No matter how much ransom the kidnappers demand, it has nothing to do with us. You are my husband, and I will not allow you to interfere."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jinghuai with pitiful eyes.
—Damn it, I was actually quite happy to hear that Ye Nanxing had been kidnapped.
—But thinking about it carefully, Ye Nanxing is the female lead and won't die easily. But if she really gets into trouble with the kidnappers, how could Lu Jinghuai possibly be interested in her?
—If that scoundrel doesn't rekindle the flame of love with Ye Nanxing, I'll be the one who suffers.
At this moment, 001 couldn't help but interrupt.
[Host, based on the current plot, it's very difficult for the male lead to develop romantic feelings for Ye Nanxing now.]
So, host, would you like to consider...?
I refuse.
[Let me finish speaking. Do you want to consider replacing Ye Nanxing and becoming the female lead?]
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenran launched into another round of analysis.
—What's wrong with this damn system? Lately, it's been trying to trick me into replacing the female lead one after another.
—Replace the female lead? What would I want from him? His arrogance, hubris, and obsessive-compulsive disorder?
—Why don't you just get a divorce, get your share of the assets, and live a carefree and independent life? Why are you so stubborn and stuck with this jerk?
After thinking it over, Shen Wenran decisively refused.
I'm fine as I am, no need to think about it anymore.
The system continued its earnest persuasion: "Are you really not going to consider it? Actually, there are quite a few advantages to being with the male lead."
Shen Wenran: [I don't believe it. For example?]
001 pondered for a moment: [For example, more money means a better life.]
Shen Wenran: [System, you've changed.]
After saying that, perhaps because the system felt it was inappropriate, it didn't say anything more.
Shen Wenran, on the other hand, felt that the system was becoming more and more interesting.
It's like... leveling up, or gaining intelligence.
Lu Jinghuai heard it again; it sounded like Shen Wenran was talking to someone, but he couldn't hear their conversation.
From Shen Wenran's scattered complaints, it was learned that the other party demanded that she replace Ye Nanxing and become his official female lead.
What shocked him most was that the woman actually refused.
At first, he thought that the woman liked him only because she was attracted to his looks and wealth.
In the end, he discovered that this woman didn't like him at all; she was genuinely after his wealth, but as for his looks...
