Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 328

He was a lot taller than them back then, but he still couldn’t beat them, so his chances in the present were not worth mentioning. Also, they were very powerful figures now, enough so that even his family needed to watch what they did around them. Thinking of this, a bit of gloom showed on Young Master Ning’s face.

The reason he had changed so much was because his family was declining day by day.

Huo Chengming didn’t expect that he would get a reformed Young Master Ning in exchange for him sabotaging the Ning family. He frowned. If he knew that this would be the result, it would’ve been better to ignore them from the beginning. Now that Young Master Ning has changed, what should he do if he goes to Huanhuan?

Huo Chengming’s frown deepened further.

He called over a bodyguard he had brought. “Bring the person away.”

Li Jinyuan glanced at him. “Going straight to Ling Lan?”

“Of course.” Huo Chengming coldly said, “She was probably behind your situation from before too.”

Li Jinyuan nodded. He had long guessed this. Wen Yongchen wouldn’t dare to do this type of thing; he would at most brush up his existence in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

The person on the floor heard them bring up Ling Lan and immediately started shouting, “What are you doing? What Ling Lan? I don’t know her at all…”

Huo Chengming sneered. “I didn’t think that he’d be so infatuated, still not betraying his sweetheart.”

The man’s shouting became even angrier, “I’m just helping my cousin get what he should’ve been his in the first place. Why do you care about it? Shouldn’t the Zhongs be scolded for canceling the engagement?”

Huo Chengming stepped on the man’s face, twisting his features. After he stepped away, the man’s neck straightened itself and he spat out a tooth with blood.

“Bring him away,” Huo Chengming said coldly.

President Ning also hardened himself and stayed quiet.

This nephew of his, clearly a Ning but so focused on outsiders. First, he provoked Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan for a woman, and when they came to his door, he threw the blame onto his son! What a good calculation!

The man was quickly brought away.

Huo Chengming turned to look deeply at Young Master Ning. Li Jinyuan lightly spoke, “I hope that Young Master Ning can take a detour if he encounters our Huanhuan in the future.”

When President Ning heard this, he was naturally extremely angered and immediately argued, “The roads are right there. Do you have to care about which road my son takes?”

Huo Chengming stared at Young Master Ning. “Then why don’t you ask your son if he dares to take that road?”

Young Master Ning gritted his teeth. “I understand.”

The Nings’ situation was getting worse and worse, and he had to be more and more mature.

However, he realized how shameful of a life he had lived before. Excessive drinking, drag racing, playing with young models - his private life was a complete mess.

Even if someone forced him to find Zhong Yuhuan, he would be too ashamed to face her back then!

He only felt gratitude towards her now. If it wasn’t for the unwillingness he felt that year, wanting to obtain this pretty girl, he wouldn’t have studied so much.

If he didn’t, he would probably still be blind and only knew how to cause trouble.

Huo Chengming was satisfied and finally turned to head out.

When it came to potential love rivals, Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan were always in sync.

President Ning’s expression was bad to the extreme, but he could only watch as they left.

Then, he turned to face his son. He couldn’t help but sigh. If they had confirmed the engagement earlier, marrying as soon as Zhong Yuhuan graduated, how would the Ning family lose money? Who knows just how much money the Zhong family has…

Young Master Ning didn’t notice anything and hurriedly went upstairs.

Only then did he feel the immense pressure disappear.

“I know where Ling Lan is.” Li Jinyuan opened the car door. “I’ll take the lead.”

Huo Chengming gloomily nodded, hurriedly following him.

Huo Chengming remembered that the book Li Jinyuan had mentioned seemed to have Ling Lan as the main character.

This world was written for this woman?

Then will she endanger Huanhuan’s existence in the future?

It doesn’t matter. It’s best to stifle everything in the cradle.

They soon arrived at the filming site Ling Lan was working at.

Ling Lan was so scared by the Huo family’s tragic situation that she ran back to the film crew. Thankfully, her anxiety quickly disappeared after she immersed herself in filming.

She was completely unaware that the Huo family was instructed by her admirer to embarrass Zhong Yuhuan and stir up discord between Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming. She also didn’t know that her admirer's plan failed and was instead caught, beaten until a tooth was sent flying.

Ling Lan was going over the script when her assistant came over, excitedly saying, “Sister Lan, Mr. Huo and Mr. Li came. They’re here… for you…”

But Ling Lan didn’t feel happy about it at all. She felt her heart thump and carefully recalled everything she had done. The only thing she had done was impulsively expose news to destroy the relationship between Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan out of anger and jealousy at how the story went off-track and the male lead started liking Zhong Yuhuan, a cannon fodder.

It was just that… she didn’t do anything else.

But that would be enough to anger them. Ling Lan had already seen how much they cared about Zhong Yuhuan.
