In the backyard of the Zhao family, Zhao Yao was quietly crying. "Heh, this is what men are like. They promised to love me for a lifetime, heh."
Now, Zhao Yao could only manage a cold laugh. "Men are all great deceivers, don't you think, Su Menghan?"
Zhao Yao glanced at the woman beside her. Su Menghan was her close friend, possessing beauty and figure that rivaled her own. Ever since they were young, Zhao Yao had always shared her troubles with Su Menghan.
"That Chen Anlin is truly not a good person. It's such a pity for Xiao Chen; he works so hard," Su Menghan sighed softly.
"Yes, Menghan. And those families are all kicking us when we're down. What should we do? My family suggests I talk to Chen Anlin and hope he shows some mercy."
"How can you do that? Chen Anlin has treated you this way just to make you surrender. At this moment, you absolutely cannot give in. You need to prove to Chen Anlin that even without him, you can become better. That will infuriate him!"
Su Menghan urged, holding onto Zhao Yao's arm.
"Is that really the way?"
"Of course! If men get things too easily, they won't cherish you."
"But my family's situation..."
"If the sky falls, your father will hold it up for you. Didn't you say your father has great talent? Maybe in a year or two, he can reach the fifth rank? And Chen Anlin's parents are only at the fourth rank; your father should be able to give them some face."
Su Menghan said with a slight smile, though even she felt that her words were somewhat unreliable.
"So you mean I should continue to give Chen Anlin a cold shoulder? Just ignore him completely?"
"Absolutely! You must not show him any kindness. To be honest, I think this time you've handled things well," Su Menghan said with an even wider grin.
However, when Zhao Yao looked over curiously, Su Mengyao returned to her usual demeanor.
"Yes, you’re right, Su Menghan. Thank you for standing by my side at this moment."
Su Menghan smiled and replied, "Of course, who else would I be for if not my best friend?"
After comforting Zhao Yao for a while, Su Menghan left. However, she didn’t head home; instead, she secretly made her way to Chen Anlin’s residence.
"Miss Su Menghan seeks an audience?"
Chen Anlin paused in his training, suddenly recalling the antagonist from the novel—a devoted admirer of Zhao Yao.
Ah, he remembered now. Su Menghan was Zhao Yao's childhood friend; they had grown up together. But in the novel, she was not a good person. She was an early-stage cannon fodder antagonist who pretended to be kind to Zhao Yao while secretly plotting against her. Her goal was simple: to break up Zhao Yao and Chen Anlin so that she could have him for herself.
That’s right; Su Menghan had feelings for him. In the story, she had made several attempts to win his affection, but unfortunately, Chen Anlin was deeply in love with Zhao Yao and hardly paid her any attention. Eventually, he was killed by Xiao Chen, which left Su Menghan heartbroken. When she learned that Zhao Yao's heartbreak was due to Xiao Chen’s actions, she became furious and sent assassins after him. But Xiao Chen was not so easily dealt with.
After repeated failures of assassination attempts, Su Menghan grew increasingly despondent and began practicing dark arts.
Recalling those plotlines made Chen Anlin sigh. He then instructed the butler, "Let her come here."
Before long, Su Menghan entered the courtyard, her gaze filled with awe as she looked at the man she admired.
"Young Master Chen," Su Menghan said softly, slightly bowing and appearing somewhat agitated.
After learning that Zhao Yao and Chen Anlin's engagement had completely fallen through, she had pretended to comfort Zhao Yao while secretly gathering information. She rushed over to Chen Anlin immediately afterward, hoping to seize the opportunity.
Sometimes she couldn’t understand why Zhao Yao was so special and why Young Master Chen only had eyes for her. Wasn’t she attractive enough?
To win Chen Anlin’s heart, she had secretly plotted countless schemes. Now that these two were finally apart…
Chen Anlin studied the beautiful woman before him with a deep gaze. He stepped forward and gently lifted Su Menghan's chin, his fingers caressing her smooth skin.
"Young Master Chen, please behave yourself."
Su Menghan was startled by his sudden action but felt an overwhelming thrill inside her heart.
"Young Master Chen is interested in me?!"
Had her efforts finally paid off? However, on the surface, Su Menghan appeared nervous and alluringly shy—a tempting sight indeed.
She knew well that men often desired what was hard to attain. Yet unexpectedly at that moment, Chen Anlin wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Young Master Chen, what do you need from me?"
"I wanted to advise you to calm down. Also, I will keep an eye on Zhao Yao for you. If I hear any news about Xiao Chen, I'll let you know right away," Su Menghan said earnestly.
"Is that so? But I'm really angry right now!"
Su Menghan's pupils contracted slightly as she bit her lip, revealing a look of embarrassment. Curiously, she asked, "Young Master Chen, how can I help you relieve your anger?"
"What do you think?"
Chen Anlin's hand slowly slid down from her chin.
Su Menghan's delicate body trembled slightly, her chest rising and falling rapidly. "Young Master Chen, if you keep this up, I won't talk to you anymore."
Goodness, this girl is quite the temptress!
I suddenly feel that you're much more interesting than Zhao Yao. From now on, you're my woman.
"No!" Su Menghan lowered her head, her voice barely above a whisper.
"This is an order!"
Saying this, Chen Anlin pulled her into the room. "I want to show you something good."
"Ah, what is it?"
Su Menghan felt both scared and a bit excited.
Although she had strong feelings for Chen Anlin and was even willing to betray her best friend Zhao Yao for him, she knew it made her look wicked—a bad girl. But for the sake of winning Chen Anlin's affection, she pushed those thoughts aside.
However, liking him was one thing; when Chen Anlin truly intended to get closer to her, she panicked.
She worried that once they were inside, he would show her something inappropriate. After all, she was still an innocent girl; she couldn't allow that.
Seeing that Su Menghan seemed reluctant, Chen Anlin didn't force the issue. "Don't worry; I'm just going to take a look. I'm not going to do anything."
But…
Just like that, Su Menghan found herself half-heartedly agreeing as Chen Anlin led her into the room.
