I am the Ultimate Villain, So What If I Kill a Protagonist

42: Chapter 42 An Unexpected Encounter with the Son-in-LawThe man didn’t usually like wearing such formal suits. It was only because he had important business to handle today that he was forced to put on this somewhat sloppy suit.

Behind him followed a young, beautiful woman.

Beside the woman, a man followed timidly.

”You blind fool, you hit us and now you want to be the first to accuse?”

Zuo Shishi frowned, wanting to teach the other party a lesson.

Before Zuo Shishi could make a move, Chu Yuan interrupted, ”Dealing with people like this will only dirty your hands. Just find someone else to handle them.”

”Alright!”

Zuo Shishi also knew that Chu Yuan was in a hurry and didn’t want to waste time on such trivial matters.

Unfortunately, the man in the suit opposite them didn’t seem to have any sense at all.

Seeing Zuo Shishi and her companion turn to leave, he thought they were trying to run away.

”You want to leave? You hit my luxury car and now you want to commit a hit-and-run?”

”Let me tell you, this car of mine cost millions, and you’ve smashed it up like this. If you don’t pay up today, neither of you is going anywhere.”

Chu Yuan frowned. Getting bitten by a mad dog just by stepping out the door—truly a run of bad luck.

Suddenly! A crisp, loud sound startled everyone.

Even Chu Yuan, who was preparing to teach these people a lesson, was somewhat surprised.

Naturally, it wasn’t Chu Yuan or Zuo Shishi who had struck anyone.

It was the young woman beside the man in the suit who had suddenly slapped the man next to her hard across the face.

What was the meaning of this?

”Shen Wen, you useless trash, you can’t even drive properly, and you still managed to get into an accident.”

”I told you long ago that we were going to the Liu Group to discuss a partnership today. I told you to hurry up, and look at you—you’ve gone and caused an accident.”

”I’m telling you, if this partnership falls through, I’m definitely going to divorce you.”

Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand a little.

It turned out that this shrewish woman had been urging the cowardly man to speed, which was why he couldn’t dodge in time and ended up in an accident.

A partnership with the Liu Group? Could it have something to do with Liu Yanran?

Chu Yuan had previously heard Liu Yanran mention something about a partnership regarding raw pharmaceutical materials.

”Xiaodie, listen to my explanation, it’s not...”

Shen Wen tried to explain, but was met with another slap.

”Xiaodie, you...”

Before Shen Wen could finish his sentence, he was met with another slap.

”How many times have I warned you about how you should address me when we’re out in public? I don’t want there to be a next time.”

The woman pointed at Shen Wen and launched into another round of scolding.

”Zhou... President Zhou, I was wrong.”

Shen Wen hung his head and admitted his mistake timidly.

”You remember this: from now on, when we’re out, address me as President Zhou. If you get it wrong again, I’ll tear your mouth apart,” Zhou Xiaodie said sternly.

”Yes, yes, I was wrong.”

Although Shen Wen was somewhat unhappy inside, he still nodded obediently and agreed.

”Ding! Protagonist Shen Wen detected. The plot has been transmitted to the host.”

A crisp prompt sound successfully explained everything to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was delighted.

What kind of windfall had he hit recently? Why did all the Protagonists like to deliver themselves to his doorstep?

First there was Zhang Yang, and now here came another one, Shen Wen.

Checking the plot regarding Shen Wen in his mind, Chu Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Shen Wen was a young master from the Shen Family, a top-tier aristocratic family in the capital.

The Shen Family had massive assets and influence, and was also a martial arts family with deep connections in every aspect.

Even compared to the Chu Family, they were only a significant step behind.

That wasn’t the most important part. The key issue was that Shen Wen was actually a live-in son-in-law, and a complete, hopeless simp.

Three years ago, he had accidentally bumped into Zhou Xiaodie in Shanghai, and had fallen completely head over heels for her, unable to extricate himself.

In order to marry Zhou Xiaodie, Shen Wen hid his identity and willingly spent three years as a live-in son-in-law in the Zhou Family as an ordinary person.

It was just a traditional live-in son-in-law plot: the Protagonist had a deep background and was not weak in strength, yet in front of Zhou Xiaodie and the entire Zhou Family, he was a complete coward.

In the Zhou Family, he was beaten and scolded every day, living worse than a dog.

The most critical point was that for three whole years, he hadn’t even held Zhou Xiaodie’s hand.

To be honest, among all the cliche novels Chu Yuan had read, the ones that disgusted him the most were the male leads in these types of live-in son-in-law novels.

They clearly had powerful strength and backgrounds, capable of crushing everything, and even if they fancied the female lead, there were countless ways to pursue her.

Money, romance, or simply crushing everyone with strength—all would work.

Yet he chose the most pathetic, cringeworthy way, living worse than a dog.

”You kid, listen clearly. I’m going to the Liu Group to discuss a partnership, and now you’ve smashed my car and wasted our time. Tell me, how are you going to compensate us?”

The voice of the man in the suit, Zhou Cong, pulled Chu Yuan back to reality.

”That Liu Group?” Chu Yuan asked indifferently.

”What? You don’t even know the famous Liu Group? Are you even from Shanghai?”

The man in the suit seemed to have heard a huge joke and couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.

Zhou Xiaodie also had a playful expression. ”What a country bumpkin. The Liu Group is the leader in our Shanghai pharmaceutical industry. Seven or eight out of every ten medicines you’ve taken are related to the Liu Group.”

”Sis, there’s no need to explain anything to these bumpkins. Just be direct and make them pay.”

Chu Yuan frowned. ”You’re surnamed Zhou, right? From now on, the Liu Group will not have any cooperation with anyone surnamed Zhou.”

”Oh, starting to put on an act? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to make the Liu Group stop cooperating with my Zhou Family?”

Zhou Xiaodie fixed her gaze on Chu Yuan, teasing him with a sarcastic tone.

Although Chu Yuan had a good temperament and arrived in a luxury car, her Zhou Family was, at the very least, considered a second-tier family in Shanghai.

If they could latch onto the Liu Group this time, they would be even more prosperous; how could an ordinary wealthy family compare to them?

”Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: flirt with the female lead Zhou Xiaodie in front of the Protagonist Shen Wen. Reward: 4000 villain points.”

Chu Yuan ignored their sarcasm and instead became interested in the system’s mission.

What is the most critical element in a live-in son-in-law novel? Isn’t it this female lead right here?

She looked decent enough, with an hourglass figure—she did have some charm.

Of course, compared to Zuo Shishi, Liu Yanran, and the others, she was still quite a bit behind.

Anyway, it was just for fun; that was enough.

”Whether I have the qualifications or not, you’ll see.”

With a somewhat hypocritical smile, Chu Yuan walked step by step toward Zhou Xiaodie, then quickly reached out and grabbed her chin.

”Kid, what are you doing? Let go of Xiaodie, no... let go of President Zhou!” Shen Wen roared.

He was truly furious.

For three whole years, he hadn’t even touched the hand of his nominal wife. He never expected that some kid who popped out of nowhere would dare to flirt with his wife right in front of him.

This was truly intolerable.
