Chapter 8: Miss Xia, Happy Cooperation!:
During lunchtime, Shen Qingxin made an excuse of feeling unwell and didn't leave the room.
Yun Bufan didn't say anything and happily ate three bowls of rice by himself.
After lunch, he began to plan the next plot.
Tonight, Su Chen still had two opportunities to show off. Firstly, he would have dinner with Shen Qingxin, and a rich second-generation named He Dawei would come to make trouble.
This He Dawei was Shen Qingxin's high school classmate who secretly had a crush on her. However, he also had another identity. He was He Siniang's nephew.
Su Chen made a call to He Siniang, and He Siniang immediately withdrew all investments from He Dawei's family.
The second opportunity was Shen Qingxin's grandfather suddenly falling ill.
Su Chen slapped a head doctor in the face and used his superb medical skills to cure Shen Qingxin's grandfather.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Qingxin gradually opened up to Su Chen.
At the moment, Yun Bufan's mouth corners slightly curved upward.
With him here, this kind of thing would never happen again.
Just as he was thinking, a crisp mechanical sound rang in his mind—
[Ding! The Villain Counterattack System has released a new mission!]
[Mission 1: At Fortune Restaurant, the host needs to prevent Su Chen from humiliating He Dawei]
[Mission 2: At Top City Hospital, the host must prevent Su Chen from treating Shen Qingxin's grandfather, avoiding further development between Su Chen and Shen Qingxin]
"I not only need to prevent Su Chen from humiliating He Dawei, but I also need He Dawei to humiliate Su Chen."
"And, I can also use this opportunity to make Su Chen lose face in Shen Qingxin's eyes."
Yun Bufan glanced at the precious watch on his wrist.
It was now two in the afternoon, and their dinner was at 7 o'clock.
There were still five hours.
Yun Bufan leapt up from the bed and stretched lazily.
Then he went to the underground garage and randomly picked a red Ferrari.
Along the way, the luxury car and handsome man attracted countless gazes.
But Yun Bufan didn't care. Soon, the car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.
The Xia family.
The fiancée who rejected Su Chen, Miss Xia of the Xia family, Xia Xue.
Xia Xue was a stunning beauty, slightly inferior to Shen Qingxin but still stunning.
Not only that, Xia Xue was highly educated and held a prominent position in the Xia family's company.
When Su Chen showed up to propose marriage to the Xia family, Xia Xue felt there was too much of a gap between them and proposed a compensation of ten million yuan to call off the marriage.
Su Chen felt humiliated by this and was filled with resentment ever since.
Later, he even directly bankrupted the Xia family.
Finally, Xia Xue knelt in front of him begging for forgiveness, and became Su Chen's maid.
Yun Bufan was reminiscing about the plot when he saw a lively woman in a red dress walking out.
The woman wore a pair of fluffy white earrings on her earlobes, resembling two small snowballs. That was Xia Xue's classic image.
Yun Bufan got out of the car and walked straight toward Xia Xue.
Xia Xue also saw Yun Bufan approaching her.
She murmured inwardly. Was he coming to pursue her again?
As a smart and beautiful woman, Xia Xue couldn't count the number of pursuers she had.
"Miss Xia?" Yun Bufan curved his lips into a warm smile.
Xia Xue looked him over, "Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yun Bufan."
As soon as he said his name, Xia Xue's eyes widened. "You're Yun Bufan?"
Xia Xue knew Yun Bufan because the total assets of the Xia family and the Yun family were similar, basically belonging to the same circle.
Yun Bufan knew his reputation was probably not good, but he didn't explain much.
"Miss Xia, do you have time to talk?"
Xia Xue immediately refused, "I'm busy. I have an appointment to go shopping."
Yun Bufan had already guessed her attitude. He said lightly, "If you want to fulfill the engagement with Su Chen, then we don't need to talk."
After speaking, Yun Bufan was about to leave.
"Wait!" Xia Xue immediately stopped him, "How do you know about me and Su Chen?"
"You don't need to worry about how I know." Yun Bufan smiled slightly, "Your grandfather must have told you that promises are more important than the sky. As long as there is an engagement, you must marry Su Chen."
Hearing this, Xia Xue felt anxious.
"What do you want to say? Do you think you can help me? Why would you help me?" Xia Xue asked urgently.
Yun Bufan said, "I'm helping you because I need your help. It's not convenient to talk here. There's a coffee shop over there. Let's talk there."
After looking around, Xia Xue nodded, "Okay."
The duo went to the coffee shop and entered a private room.
Xia Xue stirred her coffee with a small spoon and couldn't help but speak first, "How do you plan to help me? What do you want from me?"
Yun Bufan leaned back and said, "Miss Xia is smart. Let's speak frankly. Su Chen has been getting close to my wife recently, which has crossed my bottom line."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing he also had a grudge against Su Chen, the enemy's enemy was a friend.
"Miss Xia wants to cancel the engagement. It's useless to just evade and resist. After all, your grandfather's temper is there." Saying that, Yun Bufan stirred the spoon leisurely.
Xia Xue sighed, "I know, but what should I do?"
Yun Bufan smiled, "Mr. Xia is straightforward. If he knows about Su Chen's character issues, he probably won't force his granddaughter to marry him."
"But—" Xia Xue looked frustrated, "My grandfather likes Su Chen. He even said he would succeed in the future."
"Miss Xia, don't worry. This is what I want to help you with." Yun Bufan put down the spoon, "But, before that, you need to help me with a favor."
Xia Xue stared at him for a moment, "Why should I trust you? Don't blame me for being straightforward. Your reputation isn't very good."
Yun Bufan said, "Don't doubt the suspect without reason, don't trust the ally without reason. If Miss Xia doesn't trust me, then consider today as if we never met. Goodbye."
As he spoke, he stood up to leave.
"Wait!" Xia Xue stood up, a helpless look in her beautiful eyes. "Okay, I'll help you. I hope you won't break your promise."
Yun Bufan turned his back to her, his lips curled into a smile.
This result was within his expectations.
Because of Mr. Xia's attitude, Xia Xue was now isolated and helpless. When she finally encountered a lifeline, how could she bear to let it go?
"Miss Xia, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Yun Bufan reached out his hand.
Xia Xue hesitated for a moment, then placed her delicate hand in Yun Bufan's palm.
"Happy cooperation!"
