65: Chapter 65 Accidentally Entering the Imperial Family: The True Noble Male Supporting Character 26

Watching the black car speed away, Chu Yunting stood completely stunned on the spot.

He understood the words Qiao Chuxia had spoken, but he didn't feel he had said anything terribly wrong.

Wasn't he doing it for Qiao Chuxia's own good?

But none of that mattered now; he would always be able to explain it clearly.

The key was.

Hadn't Qiao Chuxia said she had broken ties with her family?

Why did she have a car, and why would she have bodyguards?

Although he hadn't seen the license plate clearly, he could recognize at a glance that it was a Maybach, and not a cheap one at that.

For a moment, he felt that Qiao Chuxia was shrouded in layers of mystery, making her impossible to see through.

...

[The kid's gone stupid.]

[Normal, unlike the original work where he experiences so much with the female lead, Chu Yunting hasn't seen that kind of progressive and unyielding brilliance yet.]

[She's already evolved several times over, you're still standing still, who's going to play with you?]

[Why bother with him? Just an incompetent pursuer.]

[Exactly, this Meng Family banquet, whether you guys were satisfied or not, I certainly was.]

[Agreed, that was so satisfying.]

[No one talking about Wang Peng? Falsely conveying imperial edicts is too funny.]

[Oh, what's the big deal, he's a military general, not good with words, it's normal (funny).]

[It's not like we have to bring up Chu Yunting, it's just that whenever I think about him finding out the truth later, I can't help but laugh.]

[Just a bit of wind and frost, he's just turning into a clown.]

[Is that a clown? That's an evergreen tree among simps, the mascot of McDonald's, the highest card in the deck, with a room reserved on the blacklist.]

[Are you taking a graduate entrance exam? Everyone shut up, don't you think Meng Zhu is impressive?]

[Impressive, he's engaging in a very high-level romance, and he knows how to flirt too.]

[Exactly, he's too good at it.]

[Sigh, I also want to go back to when I was in school, want to study hard, want to have this kind of high-level romance.]

[If the spring breeze has pity for the flowers, can it allow me to be young again?]

[Not a chance, if it doesn't work out, just go be an actor, lie flat, and see if your subconscious can take you for a ride.]

[Speaking of which, why is Meng Zhu's subconscious so OP? If it were me, I would have already controlled the world's armies and fast-forwarded to having kids.]

[So that's why they say a gentleman's reputation is not unearned?]

[It truly is restraining oneself and returning to propriety. Looking at their conversation, Meng Zhu probably has some good feelings for Qiao Chuxia too.]

[I don't care about that, I only know that Qiao Chuxia is about to start a company, and the Qiao Family is about to be in trouble.]

[Want to bet on what kind of company it is?]

[Does that even need guessing? In the original work, it was jewelry and accessories, because that's the Qiao Family's main business.]

[Right, although in the original work it was the male supporting character sparing no effort to support her secretly, even if it doesn't go smoothly now, the company type is unlikely to change.]

[That wasn't support in the original work. Saying she was standing in the path of the wind, I'm afraid she'd catch a cold from the draft.]

[There's a detail, I don't know if you guys noticed, Chu Yunting's mother is different from the original work; she didn't give the female lead a hard time at this banquet, and didn't even meet the female lead.]

[Plot fans have noticed, his mother left the banquet early with the An Family to discuss the marriage.]

[Hmm? Female supporting character? So early?]

[It is strange, does anyone know why?]

"I know."

Sitting in the car, Meng Zhu looked at the numerous bullet comments and silently replied in his heart.

That's right, regarding the female supporting character, not only did he know, but he had facilitated it himself.

In the original work, the female supporting character didn't have much screen time; it was an arranged marriage between the Chu Family and the An Family, the daughter-in-law Chu Yunting's mother had taken a fancy to.

As for why it was moved up now, the reason was also very simple.

Regarding the downfall of the Sun Family and the Ye Family.

Meng Zhu had done a little bit of work behind the audience's backs, causing most of the benefits to be eaten up by the An Family.

They ate until they were stuffed to the brim.

So much so that the An Family's strength greatly increased, and they actually took the initiative to approach the Chu Family in advance.

Meng Zhu's purpose in doing this was also very simple: to give the male lead Chu Yunting something to do.

Otherwise, he was afraid that if he wasn't careful, Chu Yunting would be devastated and give up completely.

If that happened, maybe in a few days, the Heavenly Dao would directly start skipping time.

Fast-forwarding to several years later, Qiao Chuxia's company would be booming, she and Meng Zhu would develop feelings for each other, and then they would get married on the spot.

Clearly, that would be a typical anticlimactic ending.

So he had to increase the intensity for Chu Yunting.

The male lead, as a species, is likely to let go and quit if he is constantly hit by the female lead.

But the more he is forced by his mother to enter into an arranged marriage, the more he will see his own heart clearly and firm up his feelings for the female lead.

But as for the current Chu Yunting, wanting to pursue Qiao Chuxia is basically a pipe dream.

So Meng Zhu wasn't worried about anything.

And so, another few days passed.

Qiao Chuxia finally decided what kind of company to start.

Tianhai Group headquarters building.

This was already a landmark in Baijin City; the Tianhai building pierced the clouds, and it was hard to imagine how many floors it actually had.

Qiao Chuxia stood in front of the building and took a deep breath.

Coming to Meng Zhu's company to find him, to be honest, still made her a bit nervous.

Her palms, holding the paper bag, were slightly sweaty.

After tidying her clothes slightly, she stepped into the revolving door.

The decor of the lobby on the first floor was extremely modern and high-tech.

The employees coming and going all looked like elites, walking with hurried steps.

Qiao Chuxia took out her phone, preparing to contact Meng Zhu, while lifting her feet to walk towards the front desk.

But just then, a receptionist ran over.

The moment she saw Qiao Chuxia, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, which immediately turned into professionalism and respect.

Stepping in her high heels, she stood steadily in front of Qiao Chuxia.

"Miss Qiao, hello."

Her voice was gentle, her smile appropriate.

"President Meng's office is on the top floor, please come with me."

Qiao Chuxia was slightly stunned, stopping the action of calling Meng Zhu.

She hadn't made an appointment, yet the other party called out her surname directly—did Meng Zhu order it?

She didn't have time to think too much and could only nod, following the receptionist towards the exclusive elevator.

Along the way, all the employees they passed would subconsciously cast a polite smile upon seeing them, neither appearing too enthusiastic nor making one feel alienated.

It was as if they all knew her.

The elevator went straight to the top floor.

Pushing open the door, Meng Zhu was on the phone. Seeing her enter, he said a few words in a fluent foreign language to the person on the other end of the line, then hung up.

"Mr. Meng, I've come to return your coat."

Qiao Chuxia placed the paper bag on his desk and quietly sized him up.

Meng Zhu glanced at the paper bag, then his gaze fell on her face, the corners of his lips curling slightly:

"Just a piece of clothing, is it worth you making a trip yourself?"

Qiao Chuxia pursed her lips, just about to speak.

Who knew Meng Zhu would add:

"It wouldn't be like the last banquet, would it—you're here to see me and talk to me."

One sentence, and Qiao Chuxia's heartbeat lost its rhythm again.

Fortunately, it wasn't her first time experiencing this, and her courage had never been small.

So she raised her head and provoked:

"Yeah, so what? You're allowed to go to the terrace to watch me, but I'm not allowed to come to the company to find you?"

"Hmm, of course you're allowed, and if you came specifically to see me, I would be very happy."

Finished, he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

How was she supposed to respond to that?

She actually really wanted to say, then I'll come see you often in the future.

But how could she, a girl, say such a thing?

This man was always like this; couldn't he stop teasing her?
