I, Xu Mo, Am a Villain

Gurgle--------Gurgle------

Many men looking in Zhou Qiaoqiao's direction had their eyes wide open.

They were swallowing hard.

What man doesn’t love a beautiful woman?

In this era, visuals come first.

To test whether men are visual creatures,

a foreign experiment used a female model, testing her appearance before and after makeup.

Before makeup, she looked ordinary.

Few men on the street were willing to help her.

After makeup, she became a beauty.

The number of men willing to help her increased threefold, even fivefold.

The same method was used with a male model approaching women.

The success rate also significantly increased.

"Tsk tsk tsk------Zhou Qiaoqiao from the Zhou family is truly stunning! Seeing her today, her reputation is well-deserved."

"I’m curious, why did Xu Mo, who already had Zhou Qiaoqiao, go after Shen Manni from the Shen family? Isn’t that unnecessary?"

"What’s so strange about that? The grass is always greener on the other side. Hey hey hey----wife, stop twisting, my ear’s about to fall off!"

"Haha, didn’t you say the grass is greener? I’m not deaf, you know!"

This was just a small episode.

As for why Xu Mo came with Zhou Qiaoqiao,

it was because Zhou Qiaoqiao asked Xu Mo to pick her up.

Most women have excellent memories,

especially when other women have something they don’t.

During Yang Jingying’s birthday party,

Shen Manni had Xu Mo pick her up.

How could Zhou Qiaoqiao, as the "main wife," not have the same treatment?

Not only did she have it, but it had to be a notch above Shen Manni’s!

"Darling, I’m holding your arm like this, and your former crush saw us. You’re not mad, are you?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly, her tone flirtatious.

The warmth and softness of her touch transmitted through her hand.

A fragrant scent wafted over.

[Ugh!!!!! This damned enchantress, why does she smell so sweet!]

[Although she’s acting a bit scheming tonight, it’s not a big deal.]

[As for that foolish woman, I never said I really liked her!!!]

Xu Mo was at a loss, forcing an awkward yet polite smile.

"No, it’s all in the past."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, my memory’s so bad."

Zhou Qiaoqiao chuckled, covering her mouth with her small hand adorned with black lace gloves.

The two chatted as they walked.

Before they knew it, they had reached the entrance.

Shen Manni was still there,

standing and watching the two of them.

Her beautiful eyes were icy cold.

Clearly, Zhou Qiaoqiao had intentionally said those things for her to hear.

For some reason,

Shen Manni felt a surge of jealousy.

It was bitter and sour.

"Sir, madam, please show your invitation, thank you."

The staff member smiled politely, gesturing with their hand.

Xu Mo handed over the invitation.

The staff checked it,

then respectfully returned it to Xu Mo.

"Mr. Xu, Ms. Zhou, you may enter."

Xu Mo nodded.

Though he appeared calm on the surface,

inside, he was panicking.

He had noticed Shen Manni standing there earlier.

And this "Crooked-Mouth Dragon King" too.

Feeling the gazes of the male and female protagonists,

it was impossible not to feel nervous.

It wasn’t that Xu Mo was afraid of them.

It was just awkward!!!!

Isn’t everyone’s new love someone else’s old flame?

Why was Shen Manni standing with Lin Fan?

Wasn’t it because of this world’s law of attraction?

The male and female protagonists naturally gravitate toward each other.

"I have nothing to do with him!"

As Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao passed by Shen Manni,

Shen Manni suddenly blurted out this seemingly random statement,

causing the two to pause.

Xu Mo looked like a dumbfounded goose,

staring blankly at Shen Manni.

[Wait, what? Foolish woman, what does your relationship with the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King have to do with me?]

[Oh, I get it, that wasn’t meant for me.]

[My bad, my bad.]

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve gained +0.5 stamina."

‘Damn!!!! This damn system is really out of control!’

Hearing the familiar reward notification,

Xu Mo couldn’t help but click his tongue in disbelief.

Was the system really trying to dehumanize him?

Or was it just going berserk,

wanting him to take down some important characters in the story?

This was way too crazy.

Lin Fan stepped forward, wearing what he thought was a charming smile.

"We meet again, Xu Mo. I never expected you to be more than just a loser. I misjudged you before."

Though the words sounded like an apology,

they were laced with sharp undertones.

Your family made money?

Hand it over!!!!

Your money is my money, and my money is still my money.

Before Xu Mo could respond,

Zhou Qiaoqiao stepped in to defend him.

"Oh, isn’t this the little security guard, Lin Fan?"

"You’ve been rubbing shoulders with the rich lately, huh?"

"Now you’re qualified to attend high-end events. I remember you used to be a nobody, just a lowly security guard. Or is this just your way of worming your way into high society?"

Savage!!!!!

Absolutely savage.

She laid bare all of Lin Fan’s schemes and secrets.

How could he possibly save face now?

Xu Mo was stunned,

internally praising Zhou Qiaoqiao for her sharp wit.

How did she even figure all this out?

Meanwhile, Lin Fan’s mouth twitched violently.

He took a deep breath,

calming himself down.

His smile remained intact. "That’s just your speculation. If you’re going to say that, I could just as easily claim you married into the Xu family for their wealth."

As expected of the protagonist, even in such a situation, he remained composed.

His face was thicker than a city wall.

Even a drill might not be able to pierce through it.

Xu Mo thought to himself.

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s lips curled into a smile that could charm most men.

"Oh? Did I step on your tail?"

"Is that why you’re so eager to bite back?"

Lin Fan forced a smile. "Likewise. I’ve also guessed the Zhou family’s intentions."

The two exchanged verbal blows,

neither backing down.

Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered.

In the past, Xu Mo had no choice but to play the role of a simp.

But now, he just wanted to obliterate the protagonist.

The simp persona was gone.

From today onward, it could no longer shackle him.

"Whether she’s after my family’s wealth or not, what’s it to you, a mere security guard?"

"Even if our relationship is built on money, you don’t have the means to provide for a woman."

Xu Mo played the role of the arrogant, wealthy antagonist to perfection.

Art imitates life.

Art is Patrick Star.

Xu Mo drew directly from real life.

As for being a villain?

He was an expert!!!!!

Xu Mo’s words didn’t offend anyone.

In fact,

everyone thought he made a valid point.

That’s right!!!!

The man was filthy rich.

His money was practically endless.

Even they couldn’t help but envy him.

"Who is this guy? Why did Elder Zhang Hong invite someone like this to the banquet? What a nuisance!"

"Though it’s hard to admit, the Xu family is insanely wealthy. There’s no way to criticize or refute that."

The crowd chattered, each voicing their opinions.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled brightly.

Xu Mo had stood up for her,

fiercely countering Lin Fan.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression was grim.

His pride had been thoroughly trampled.

This Xu Mo, with his nouveau riche attitude,

acted as if he were the richest man in the world.

Couldn’t he be a bit more low-key?

Didn’t he understand the concept of "there’s always someone better"?

Patience!!!!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes.

‘You think you have everything now, don’t you?’

‘Just wait. When you’ve lost it all, when you’re nothing,’

‘we’ll see who stays by your side then!’
