Being engaged to an icy female CEO was practically a fixed trope in every miracle doctor novel.
However, Liu Yanran would definitely refuse and even show strong dissatisfaction.
Then, under Old Master Liu’s forced arrangement, the protagonist would be sent to Liu Yanran’s side as her driver or bodyguard.
After that, the protagonist would gradually reveal his strength, stage a few heroic rescues, solve countless troubles for Liu Yanran, and completely melt that iceberg.
Of course, the moment Liu Yanran heard about this, she could no longer sit still.
What era was this? And they were still playing the feudal game of arranged marriage.
So what if he was an expert’s disciple?
He was hot-tempered, had beaten someone and gone to prison, and was an embarrassing country bumpkin.
Let alone marrying such a person, Liu Yanran did not even want to look at him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yanran coldly said, “Whoever arranged this engagement can go marry him,” and stormed out in anger.
Liu Chi gave a bitter smile. How could he not understand his daughter’s temper?
Moreover, he himself was ten thousand times unwilling about this marriage.
Old Master Liu showed little reaction. He believed that as long as Liu Yanran spent enough time with Lin Tianyang, she would definitely come to like him. When that time came, she might even cry and beg to marry him.
…
Inside the Chairman’s Office of Tianlong Group.
It had to be said that the lives of the wealthy were just that extravagantly dull.
In the spacious office, Chu Yuan lay steadily in his chair, listening to Zuo Shishi’s report.
“The Liu family of Magic City?”
Chu Yuan muttered, and a memory surfaced in his mind.
In the original plotline, Lin Tianyang’s master had arranged a marriage for him. The bride was Liu Yanran of the Liu family.
With the Liu family’s full support, Lin Tianyang had quickly established himself in Magic City.
The Liu family possessed solid strength and a strong foundation in Magic City.
More importantly, Old Master Liu had superb medical skills. He had treated many powerful figures, earning countless favors in return.
According to the usual plotline, Old Master Liu was one of Lin Tianyang’s biggest backers. If someone wanted to deal with Lin Tianyang, the Liu family would undoubtedly become the greatest obstacle.
Of course, to Chu Yuan, this was nothing.
“Young Master, we have finished investigating the Liu family’s information. Should we take action against the Chu Family?”
As she spoke, Zuo Shishi handed over the compiled intelligence on the Liu family to Chu Yuan.
The thought briefly flashed through Chu Yuan’s mind.
[Ding! The host has triggered a random mission. The Liu family serves as support for the protagonist Lin Tianyang. The host must drive a wedge between the Liu family and Lin Tianyang, turning them against each other.]
[Mission reward: 4,000 villain points and one random skill.]
…
6 p.m., Wanhao Grand Hotel.
Arriving precisely on time, Chu Yuan stepped out of the car with Zuo Shishi at the hotel entrance.
The manager in a suit hurried forward with quick steps.
“Young Master, you’re here.”
“CEO Liu is waiting for you in the Tianzi No.1 private room.”
“Lead the way.”
Even though this was his own hotel, Chu Yuan still maintained proper form. The necessary display of status could not be omitted.
Under the manager’s guidance, they proceeded inside and soon arrived at the Tianzi No.1 private room.
Four tall and imposing bodyguards stood guard at the entrance.
A woman in professional attire, fairly attractive, stood at the front.
It had to be said that the pomp of a major family was indeed impressive.
The moment she saw Chu Yuan arrive, she quickly opened the door and announced, “CEO Liu, Young Master Chu has arrived.”
“Young Master Chu is here. Please, come in.”
Liu Chi lowered his posture considerably and introduced his daughter to Chu Yuan.
“Greetings, Young Master Chu.”
“This must be Miss Liu.”
Chu Yuan’s gaze rested on Liu Yanran as he sized her up.
So this was one of the female leads from a miracle doctor novel?
Gentle and refined, courteous and elegant, beautiful outside and wise within.
Compared to her, Chen Xue was nothing more than a thoroughly malicious second female character.
A villainous rich second-generation like himself was usually nothing more than a stepping stone for the protagonist to show off, pick up girls, and slap faces.
Unfortunately, today was different.
After seeing her in person, Chu Yuan could not help but praise, “As expected of one of the Four Great Beauties of Magic City. Seeing you today, your reputation truly lives up to its name.”
Liu Yanran responded modestly, “I am but a woman of ordinary grace. I cannot possibly deserve such praise from Young Master Chu. On the contrary, Young Master Chu is handsome and accomplished at such a young age. Now that you control Tianlong Group, I believe it won’t be long before Magic City’s business world gains another commanding figure.”
There was no arrogance or frivolity in Chu Yuan’s demeanor.
When he looked at her, there was not a trace of improper intent. This left Liu Yanran rather satisfied.
Watching the two converse, Liu Chi found them remarkably well-matched.
In terms of family background, appearance, cultivation, and education, they were perfectly suited for each other.
A pity.
His stubborn father insisted on…
Casting aside those chaotic thoughts, Liu Chi quickly invited everyone to sit as the waitstaff prepared to serve the dishes.
After a few pleasantries, Liu Chi tentatively asked, “Young Master Chu, I heard that you had a conflict with someone yesterday, and that the other party even injured your bodyguards. Is that true?”
Chu Yuan did not deny it, “That is indeed the case.”
Since both sides understood that this was the real reason for today’s meeting, Chu Yuan admitted it openly.
“And how does Young Master Chu intend to deal with that person?”
“That brat injured more than a dozen of my bodyguards and even publicly threatened to kill me on the street. He was not just slapping my face but the face of the Chu Family. I have already called the police and had him locked up. As for what comes next, I suppose sparing his life and sentencing him to life imprisonment should suffice.”
“Yes, someone like that should indeed receive a severe sentence, lest he come out and harm others,” Liu Yanran added.
Liu Chi had not told Liu Yanran the real purpose of their visit, nor had he informed her that the person Chu Yuan was referring to was Lin Tianyang, the man Old Master Liu wanted her to marry.
Otherwise, Liu Yanran would not merely stand on Chu Yuan’s side. She might even urge him to eliminate Lin Tianyang altogether.
Hearing his own daughter advocating for harsh punishment against Lin Tianyang, Liu Chi’s face darkened.
It seemed bringing Liu Yanran along had been a mistake.
In truth, Liu Chi privately agreed. He would have preferred that Chu Yuan simply get rid of Lin Tianyang and end the trouble once and for all.
That way, he would not have to marry his daughter to him.
But now, the old master had issued a strict order. If Liu Chi failed to bring Lin Tianyang back, he would be expelled from the Liu family.
Although he did not know whether the old master had lost his mind from taking too much medicine, Liu Chi did not dare disobey his father’s command.
“Miss Liu truly has insight,” Chu Yuan said, ignoring Liu Chi’s ashen expression and keeping his gaze fixed on Liu Yanran. “I find that we really are of one mind. We’ve only just met, yet we already feel so compatible.”
