Ouyang Xuan knew how terrifying a wealthy family was. After all, when the husband of the rich woman he was seeing discovered him, he sent all sorts of people to harass him and make his life miserable.
However, he was able to dodge them every time while avoiding any danger. After that, he had to change locations to continue searching for his next target to seduce.
Ever since he had left the Li Family’s residence yesterday, he was ready to find a new job with the intention of getting closer to Jiang Yule and the male protagonist. However, nobody wanted anything to do with him. It had only been one night since he was fired by Li Xingyi, but it was as if the whole world already knew what had happened. He sent his splendid resume everywhere, but without exception, everyone rejected it. Even the small companies that he could not even bother to consider in the past had ruthlessly rejected him.
Ouyang Xuan, who was wearing an exquisitely tailored suit, sat on a bench in the park. His leather shoes were already stained with a thin layer of dust, and they were not as shiny as when he left the house.
If he was the original character, his years of knowledge and experience would give him the confidence to work hard and change his predicament. However, Ouyang Xuan, who was used to seducing rich women with his charm, was nothing like him. Even if his looks were exactly the same as the original, he would still subconsciously revert to his own thinking when encountering hardship.
In the face of adversity, he lost the courage and boldness to move forward. The only way he knew how to deal with this problem was to use the considerable amount of money left behind by the original. However, when it rained, it poured, and a few minutes ago, all of his assets had been cheated away by a group of online scammers. He felt like his only escape route had been blocked.
Without money, he would not be able to go to all kinds of high-class places and buy luxury clothing that made him look better. Even the water and electricity bills of his villa that he could pay with less effort than a wave of his hand had become a concern this month.
‘Why am I the one who has to face such misfortunes? Am I not a transmigrator? Am I not the main character of this book?!’ Ouyang Xuan grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. At that moment, the private investigator he had previously hired sent him a message stating that Jiang Yule had gone to B City.
He suddenly had an idea. ‘Why do I have to seduce Jiang Yule? I can just kidnap her and have my way with her before demanding a ransom from Li Xingyi! And I have to get back at that little b*stard who deliberately tricked me too. I’m going to teach him a lesson!’ His desire for revenge almost overpowered his rationality. This became his last hope.
…
Li Xingyi did not like noisy environments and had always preferred to stay in hotels away from busy areas when he went on business trips. However, this time he specially instructed his secretary to book a room in Haiyue Hotel, which was a five-star hotel in the downtown area of B City.
Knowing that Li Xingyi had come here despite his preferences, the CEO and all the managers of Haiyue Hotel were waiting at the entrance to welcome him.
Jiang Yule obediently followed behind Li Xingyi.
‘Look at all of these bootlickers. They’re practically worshiping little Li Xingyi just because he’s rich. Tsk tsk, money is so hard to earn, and life is so challenging for the rest of us.’
Li Xingyi turned around to look at the managers when he heard this. They broke out in a cold sweat and were afraid that their flattery was making him unhappy. He ignored them after a while and gave a nod to his secretary.
Li Xingyi’s secretary was a young but mature man named Wu Bing. He was in charge of taking care of the madam and the young master. Jiang Yule and he were old acquaintances, and he was grateful to her because she chased away the previous female secretary and gave him the chance to rise to this position.
“I’ll be taking care of the both of you now,” he said as Li Xingyi went away to attend to his other matters.
Secretary Wu smiled politely at Jiang Yule, then lowered his head to Li Sui’an, who was a little unhappy, and said, “Young Master, Master Li instructed me to bring you around B City today, so you can get used to the environment. Also, when Master Li goes for his meeting tomorrow, he will bring you along with him.”
Li Sui’an instantly perked up. “Is that true?”
Secretary Wu smiled. “Of course, it’s true. Knowledge from books can be easily obtained through studying, but one’s vision and perspective require influence from childhood.” He understood the master’s painstaking efforts to groom Li Sui’an as the next heir.
“Secretary Wu, I’ll have to trouble you to bring him out by yourself. I need to go back and rest.” Jiang Yule stretched lazily. Wu Bing had already become accustomed to the two faces of this woman when her husband is present and when he’s absent.
He did not invite her to come along. Instead, he said goodbye to Jiang Yule politely and left with Li Sui’an.
Jiang Yule then found her room according to the room number on the room card. Just as she was about to swipe her card to enter, she suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door behind her.
