Chapter 156: Had Them Practically Memorized

The person sitting in front of her was a supporting male lead. He looked very n.o.ble and gave off an aura of warm gracefulness that seem to come from the bone.

But Ning Shu only saw the large golden flas.h.i.+ng words 'gentle supporting male lead' on his forehead.

In this day and age, those without some flaws couldn't become the male lead. This was why the extremely chunni Xiao Yan became the male lead while Li Xiuwen ended up as a supporting lead.

Elegant, warm, gentlemanly. These were probably the best characteristics for a man to possess, yet that person with terrible eyes took a fancy to Xiao Yan, that idiot.

Li Xiuwen was wearing a silver suit and was as beautiful as a painting as he sat in front of Ning Shu.

Why did the male lead and supporting leads have such bad eyesight as to all take a fancy to the female lead? Could it be that all men just liked naive and dazed women? Could it be that they found it fun to follow after the female lead and help clean up the messes that she always caused!?

"You are?" Li Xiuwen looked at Ning Shu. His voice contained a water-like gentleness that was very pleasant to hear.

Ning Shu felt that there was no way he didn't know who she was. She was the female lead-sama's love rival, and Xiao Yan was his love rival, so there was no way he was unaware of her ident.i.ty.

What was the point of acting? We're both unfortunate souls, revolutionary comrades that were walking on the same path of being cannon fodder.

Ning Shu coughed, cleared her throat, then replied straightforwardly. "I'm Xiao Yan's wife, I'm Ning… Su Ran, Su Ran."

Li Xiuwen nodded and glanced at his watch. "Were you looking for me for something? I need to leave soon."

After making someone wait for half an hour, you were going to leave before even sitting for five minutes? Ning Shu retracted her evaluation of Li Xiuwen. What gentleman? What warmness? It was all s.h.i.+t, it was all only for the female lead.

"Don't ah, handsome. If you leave so fast, wouldn't I have wasted my time waiting for half an hour? At the very least let me say what I have to say." Ning Shu didn't bother to be polite anymore.

Li Xiuwen's brows furrowed slightly. "Since that's the case, please speak."

Ning Shu could sense that Li Xiuwen was impatient with her. Su Meng had probably told him bad things about her.

There was no doubt that she said she was malicious and fake. Ning Shu had practically heard those words enough to memorize them.

"I came to offer you a collaboration." Ning Shu got straight to the point. "I know you like Su Meng, but Su Meng has already given birth to two of Xiao Yan's children. With two such outstanding men, Su Meng is probably finding it hard to choose as well."

Li Xiuwen looked at Ning Shu with an ambiguous smiling expression. "Then how should we collaborate?"

The fudge? He was agreeing this quickly? Ning Shu glanced at the smile on Li Xiuwen's face. What did he mean by that fake smile?

Ning Shu originally wanted to just leave, but she endure it because she recalled that there was a person who was even more gross than Li Xiuwen. She continued, "If the Xiao family was gone, do you feel like Su Meng would still choose Xiao Yan?"

Li Xiuwen's eyes flickered and he shook his head. "Miss Su, we can't collaborate. I won't do anything that would hurt Mengmeng."

Ning Shu: …

She covered her chest, almost about to cough blood. How did she freaking forget that the supporting male lead was also a man that was kneeling beneath the female lead's Mary Sue halo? And it was even the type that was severely poisoned to the point he was willing to die without any regret.

Ning Shu looked at Li Xiuwen. What an admirable n.o.ble stance. *sarcastic*

Li Xiuwen watched the woman in front of him. Her facial color has instantly turned extremely colorful and her expression was complicated to the point that it was impossible to describe.

Chapter 157: Got Burned by the System

Ning Shu felt that her head must have gotten kicked by a donkey for her to become dumb enough to try and collaborate with a supporting male lead. Could it be that stupidity was contagious and that she had already been infected?

Speaking of Li Xiuwen this supporting male lead ah, all his qualifications were good. He had a good background and also had good looks, then he had fallen head over heels in love with the female lead at first sight. When he was studying abroad, he got to know Su Meng whose stomach was already big with her babies. Following that, he looked after Su Meng all the way until they came back to the country. Then, after coming back, Su Meng started playing love tug-of-war with Xiao Yan.

And Li Xiuwen became the female lead's 'nice older brother,' an existence that often made the male lead jealous.

His role was so n.o.ble ah.

Li Xiuwen looked at the woman sitting in front of him. Her expression changed rapidly but he had no idea what she was thinking about.

He reached out with his slender fingers and knocked on the table, making brief, rhythmic sound. It snapped Ning Shu out of her thoughts.

"What exactly do you want to say? I'm sorry, but I need to leave now." Li Xiuwen's expression was a little dark.

Ning Shu guessed that he probably didn't want to keep looking at a malicious woman like her.

Could she just kill those people off and count the task as finished?

"Ding…"

Ning Shu heard the crackling of an electric current. This sensation was way too familiar. It's been a long time since she had heard the system's voice.

"Player's thoughts are inappropriate and do not conform with this world's rules. Player should give up on this idea. The original host offered up her soul for a chance at a better life, not to wake up and find herself in prison."

The system's voice was clearly very mechanical and emotionless, but for some reason she felt like she just got burned.

Li Xiuwen looked at the woman in front of him again. Her expression was now contorted. He felt like there was definitely something wrong with this woman.

He shook his head as he got up to leave. Inwardly, he was thinking, so it turned out that Xiao Yan's wife was mentally ill ah.

Ning Shu only came back to her senses when Li Xiuwen stood up. She hastily grabbed his elbow to pull him back down, then said coldly, "What's with you? The person hasn't even spoken, yet you keep saying you need to leave. Seriously!"

"It's not too late to leave after hearing what I have to say." Ning Shu looked at Li Xiuwen and directly said, "I want to collaborate with you and make the Xiao family collapse. Half the loot will belong to me, and let's do it as quickly as possible."

Li Xiuwen lifted his brows. "Why should I collaborate with you? And what capital do you even have to propose such a collaboration?"

"Moreover, the Xiao family is such an enormous corporation, but you're actually demanding for half of it?" Li Xiuwen almost asked, could you be more shameless?

Ning Shu laughed coldly and coolly pulled out a bunch of nice, soft, rmb, then threw them on the table. "This ma'am has plenty of money. Let's collaborate."

"But I feel like I don't gain anything." Li Xiuwen elegantly spread out his hands. "After I put in so much effort to make the Xiao family collapse, I still have to give you half of it."

Ning Shu almost spat out her non-existent water on his handsome face. She said, annoyed, "Don't be so greedy, you can already get the female… get Su Meng, what else do you want? You can freaking get Su Meng ah, what are you still discontent with?"

Did you know how much luck it would take for the female lead to end up together with a supporting male lead like you? It would be completely going against the Heavens and changing your fate of being a male supporting lead ah, yet you still weren't satisfied.

"You won't be able to obtain Xiao Yan either," said Li Xiuwen mildly.

"Pfff…" This time Ning Shu seriously almost spat her drink out on Li Xiuwen's face. Although she didn't, she still ended up spitting out her coffee. It was half because she had been startled and half due to disgust.
