Ye Mengyao's Bewilderment, Villain's Choice Triggered Again!

Ye Mengyao!

Jiang Che sized up the girl with great interest.

The Little Princess of the Hangzhou Ye Family. She and he had grown up together, childhood sweethearts—but while the bamboo horse had feelings, the green plum had none.

The main reason was that Ye Mengyao suffered from misandry.

Classic! Utterly classic!

Classic misandry, a frosty flower high on her pedestal, tsundere to the max... then the moment she met the protagonist, she surrendered without hesitation.

Ugh!

"Jiang Che?"

Ye Mengyao spoke again. By now, quite a few students had gathered at the school gates.

Ye Mengyao was, after all, the campus belle. Many boys secretly admired her, and even plenty of girls had developed feelings for her in secret.

Jiang Che gave her a once-over and said flatly, "What is it?"

Jiang Che's tone left Ye Mengyao somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment.

"Well... something happened at home, and the butler can't come pick me up. You can take me home."

Ye Mengyao's tone was not questioning, but certain.

In her mind, Jiang Che had always obeyed her every word. There was no way he would refuse something as simple as taking her home.

"Heh—"

Jiang Che let out a derisive laugh and reassessed this Little Immortal Fairy.

"Why? Why should I take you home?"

"This—" Ye Mengyao was momentarily choked speechless.

Jiang Che's answer was something she had never expected.

From childhood until now, Jiang Che had never once refused her.

"Our homes are very close, in the same part of town. It's just something you can do along the way."

Ding! The host has encountered Ye Mengyao's request. Villain's Choice has been triggered.

Choice One: Agree immediately, become a bootlicker and take Ye Mengyao home. Reward: Ye Mengyao's favorability +1.

Choice Two: Knock her out and take her away, triggering a special plotline. Reward: one pair of Silver Handcuffs.

Choice Three: Refuse decisively and stride away. Reward: Master-level Mixed Martial Arts.

Hiss—

Wow, you system!

You're really stirring things up, aren't you?

Option Two was genuinely tempting.

It sounded exciting just hearing it.

But it came with a complimentary pair of Silver Handcuffs.

"I choose Three!"

Jiang Che's expression turned slightly cold. "No. Call a taxi yourself, or take the bus home!"

With that, Jiang Che walked toward a Maybach without looking back.

The butler, Li Ming, had been waiting beside the car for quite some time.

"Young Master, aren't we taking Miss Ye with us?"

"No. Drive."

Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Che smiled as he watched Ye Mengyao outside the window, still wearing a bewildered expression.

This felt damn good!

Only then did Ye Mengyao at the school gates come back to her senses.

Her entire face flushed red as endless humiliation washed over her.

And there were so many classmates watching her. As the eldest daughter of the Ye Family... she had been treated like the moon surrounded by stars since birth.

Being rejected in public had utterly stripped her of face—

"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Jiang actually changed his ways? He's not being a bootlicker anymore?"

"That's awesome. Ye Mengyao is so beautiful... if she asked me for something, I'd give her my life—"

"Hehe, you want the campus belle to ride your bicycle? What are you dreaming about?"

"Young Master Jiang is truly a role model for our generation!"

"I think Young Master Jiang has finally seen through it and doesn't want to pursue Ye Mengyao anymore. If I had as much money as him, I'd have gone out to party long ago~"

Of course, many of Ye Mengyao's bootlickers also stepped forward.

"Yaoyao, I'll take you home!"

"My family driver brought the Rolls-Royce today. I'll take you home."

"Senior Mengyao, Jiang Che simply doesn't like you enough. I'm more devoted than he is!"

With Jiang Che, the number-one bootlicker, no longer licking, Ye Mengyao's remaining bootlickers scrambled to take his place at light speed.

Yet Ye Mengyao's expression was not pleasant at all.

"Get lost!"

The eldest daughter of the Ye Family threw a tantrum, angrily cursing all the bootlickers away.

She felt terribly wronged. When had she ever suffered such indignity?

Just then, Yu Wan'er came out.

"Sister Yaoyao, don't be angry. Jiang Che is a total bastard! Let's ignore him."

The moment Ye Mengyao saw Yu Wan'er, her mood improved considerably.

"Mm! Wan'er, you're right. Jiang Che is a bastard."

"Sister Yaoyao, how about calling Uncle Ye? It wouldn't be safe for you to take a taxi home alone."

But Ye Mengyao took the Little Loli's hand. "You're here, aren't you? Wan'er, why don't you come home with me tonight?"

"But Sister Ye... there's an exam tomorrow!"

"What are you afraid of? I, a Poor Student, still need to ask a Top Student like you about some problems!"

"Sister Yaoyao, you're teasing me again. Didn't you place in the top ten of the entire school in the last mock exam?"

As they walked, the two of them continued listing Jiang Che's 'countless evil deeds.'

Naturally, Yu Wan'er did not mention what had happened today.

This sort of thing could only rot in her heart.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for making your choice. You have received the reward: 'Master-level Mixed Martial Arts.'

Not bad, not bad!

He had just strengthened his power, and now it was giving him a skill.

"Fuse the skill!"

As Jiang Che spoke, a great deal of knowledge and techniques concerning all kinds of martial arts appeared in his mind out of nowhere.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Karate, Judo, Sanda—even ancient Dragon Country martial arts such as Tai Chi and Baji Quan were all included.

It was like enlightenment pouring into his head, forcibly elevating Jiang Che into an expert!

"Awesome!"

He was brimming with confidence now, seized by the urge to take on ten people at once.

Don't talk about lacking actual combat experience or merely being an armchair strategist... all those fighting techniques had thoroughly fused with Jiang Che, becoming muscle memory.

Anything produced by the system was bound to be top-quality.

With his current strength, even if he could not beat the protagonist, he probably would not end up being hung from a tree and whipped by him, right?

"Young Master, we're home."

After Jiang Che returned home, a beautiful mature woman sat on the sofa. Her hair was swept up to one side, and she held a white Ragdoll Cat in her arms as she leaned against the sofa watching television. Her slender jade-like legs rested casually atop the coffee table.

"Son, you're back from school?"

The moment Jiang Yunli saw Jiang Che, she was overjoyed. She put down the cat and ran barefoot to him without even putting on slippers, giving him a hug overflowing with motherly love.

Motherly love to the fullest!

Jiang Che: "..."

Madam, although I am your son, could you please mind your image a little?

He felt rather embarrassed.

For a moment, he had even suspected that he had not transmigrated into an urban power-fantasy novel at all, but entered an inner world instead.

So this was how they were going to do him?

At that moment, the sizzling sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, along with a rough male voice.

"Che is back? Perfect timing—come taste the cooking your old man just learned!"

Very soon, Jiang Yuan came out carrying two plates of food. Though he wore a crew cut, it could not hide his handsome appearance.

These two were his bargain-bin parents in this world.

According to Jiang Che's understanding of the script, he was an only child. Thus, these two spoiled him excessively, turning him into a brainless villain who opposed the protagonist... only to have his family destroyed in the end.

"Aiya, it's been so long since our family ate together."

Although Jiang Yuan was a billionaire, he did not put on any airs at this moment.

"Come, come, taste the diced chicken with chili I made. Honey, you try a piece..."

"Sure~ Wow, it's so delicious! Thank you, hubby!"

Jiang Che only felt a deep wave of malice washing over him.

This damned dog food!

After casually shoveling down a few bites of rice, he prepared to head upstairs.

"Son, your dad has something to ask you."

Jiang Che stopped, his eyes filled with confusion.

Jiang Yuan scratched his head. "Your Uncle Ye called just now. Did you and Mengyao have some kind of conflict?"
