Ye Mengyao's Confusion, Triggering the Villain's Choice Again

Ye Mengyao!

Jiang Che observed this young lady with great interest.

The little princess of the Ye family in Hangcheng, his childhood friend. While he had feelings for her, she didn't reciprocate.

The main reason was that Ye Mengyao had androphobia.

Classic! This was so classic!

The typical man-hating, ice queen, tsundere character... who would inevitably fall for the protagonist.

Ugh!

"Jiang Che?"

Ye Mengyao spoke again, while quite a few students had gathered at the school gate.

After all, Ye Mengyao was the school beauty, the secret crush of many male students, and even many female students harbored feelings for her.

Jiang Che gave her a glance and said coldly, "What do you want?"

His tone caught Ye Mengyao off guard.

"Well... something came up at home, and our butler can't pick me up. Could you take me home?"

Ye Mengyao's tone wasn't questioning, but assertive!

In her mind, Jiang Che had always been completely obedient to her, and surely wouldn't refuse to take her home.

"Heh—"

Jiang Che sneered, reassessing this "fairy princess."

"Why? Why should I take you home?"

"This—" Ye Mengyao was suddenly at a loss for words.

Jiang Che's response was completely unexpected.

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

"Our homes are very close, in the same district. It would be easy for you to help."

[Ding! Host has encountered Ye Mengyao's request, triggering villain choice options]

[Choice 1: Agree immediately, become a simp and take Ye Mengyao home. Reward: Ye Mengyao's Favorability +1]

[Choice 2: Knock her out and take her away, trigger special plot. Reward: A pair of silver bracelets]

[Choice 3: Firmly refuse and leave. Reward: Master-level comprehensive combat skills]

Hmm—

Wow, this system!

Really stirring things up, huh?

The second choice was very tempting.

It sounded exciting.

But all you get is a pair of silver bracelets.

"I choose three!"

......

Jiang Che's expression turned cold, "That won't work. Take a taxi home, or take the bus!"

After saying this, Jiang Che turned and walked toward a Maybach without looking back.

Butler Li Ming had been waiting by the car for a long time.

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

"No, let's go."

Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Che watched the still-dumbfounded Ye Mengyao through the window, a smile playing on his lips.

This feels amazing!

Meanwhile, at the school gate, Ye Mengyao finally came to her senses.

Her face turned completely red, overwhelmed by endless shame.

Moreover, there were so many classmates watching. As the young miss of the Ye family, she had been treated like royalty since birth.

Being publicly rejected made her lose all face—

"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Jiang has changed? No longer being a simp?"

"That's incredible. Ye Mengyao is so beautiful... if she made any request of me, I'd give my life for her—"

"Haha, you want the school beauty to ride on your bicycle? Dream on!"

"Young Master Jiang is truly a role model for us all!"

"I think Young Master Jiang must have seen the light and doesn't want to pursue Ye Mengyao anymore. If I had his money, I'd be out having fun long ago~"

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

"Yao Yao, let me take you home!"

"My family's driver is using a Rolls-Royce today, I'll take you home."

"Senior Mengyao, Jiang Che doesn't love you enough, I'm more devoted than him!"

With Jiang Che, the number one simp, no longer simping, Ye Mengyao's remaining admirers rushed to take his place.

However, Ye Mengyao's expression was not pleasant.

"Get lost!"

The young miss's temper flared up, and she angrily drove away all her admirers.

She felt very wronged – when had she ever been treated like this?

At this moment, Yu Wan'er came out.

"Sister Yao Yao, don't be angry. Jiang Che is just a big jerk! Let's ignore him."

Seeing Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao's mood improved considerably.

"Mm! You're right, Wan'er. Jiang Che is just a jerk."

"Sister Yao Yao, why don't you call Uncle Ye? It's not safe for you to take a taxi home alone."

But Ye Mengyao held the little loli's hand, "I have you! Wan'er, why don't you come home with me tonight?"

"But Sister Yao Yao... we have an exam tomorrow!"

"What's there to worry about? I, this poor student, need to consult you, the academic star, about some questions!"

"Sister Yao Yao, you're teasing me again. Didn't you also rank in the school's top ten in the last mock exam?"

As they walked, they continued listing Jiang Che's 'various evil deeds.'

Of course, Yu Wan'er didn't mention what happened today.

Some things were better kept to oneself.

......

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice, receiving reward 'Master-level comprehensive combat skills']

Not bad, not bad!

Just strengthened my power, and now getting skills.

"Merge skills!"

As Jiang Che spoke, his mind was suddenly filled with knowledge and techniques about various martial arts.

Everything from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Karate, Judo, Sanda, and even Dragon Country's ancient martial arts like Tai Chi and Bajiquan.

Like enlightenment descending from above, it directly elevated Jiang Che to an expert!

"Awesome!"

He was now full of confidence, feeling like he could take on ten opponents at once.

Never mind about lacking actual combat experience or it being just theoretical knowledge... various fighting techniques had completely merged with Jiang Che, forming muscle memory.

System products were guaranteed quality.

With his current strength, even if he couldn't beat the protagonist, at least he wouldn't end up being hung from a tree and beaten, right?

"Young Master, we're home."

...

When Jiang Che returned home, a beautiful mature woman was sitting on the sofa, her hair pinned to one side, holding a white Ragdoll cat, leaning back watching TV dramas, her slender legs casually resting on the coffee table.

"Son, you're back from school?"

Seeing Jiang Che, Jiang Yunli became very excited, putting down the cat... running to Jiang Che barefoot without even putting on slippers, giving him a motherly hug.

Motherly love overflowing!

Jiang Che: "......"

Madam, although I'm your son, couldn't you mind your image a bit?

Rather embarrassing.

For a moment, he even doubted whether he had transmigrated into an urban novel or entered some alternate world.

Really doing this to me, huh?

At this time, the sizzling sound of cooking came from the kitchen, along with a rough male voice.

"Little Che is back? Perfect timing to try your old man's newly learned cooking skills!"

Soon, Jiang Yuan came out carrying two dishes. Despite his crew cut, it couldn't hide his handsome features.

These two were his parents in this world.

According to Jiang Che's understanding of the plot, he was an only child, so these two extremely doted on him, to the point of becoming mindless villains who opposed the protagonist... and then ended up losing everything.

"Ah, it's been so long since our family has eaten together."

Although Jiang Yuan was a trillion-yuan tycoon, he showed no airs at this moment.

"Come, come, try my Kung Pao Chicken. Honey, try a piece..."

"Alright~ Wow, it's delicious, thank you, darling!"

Jiang Che felt a wave of deep disgust wash over him.

This damn display of affection!

After carelessly eating a few bites of rice, he prepared to go upstairs.

"Son, let me ask you something."

Jiang Che stopped, his eyes showing confusion.

Jiang Yuan scratched his head, "Your Uncle Ye just called. Did you and Mengyao have a fight?"
