Chapter 31 Needs Money

His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at Yang Shuyue in disbelief.

What... what's going on?

Shouldn't this Remaining Warrior be scolding me?

[Damn it! Something's wrong with this woman. Is my hint not obvious enough? Or is she really that brainless and didn't catch my subtext?]

Jiang Chenfeng swallowed hard and said tentatively, "President Yang, did you hear me clearly? I'm firing her now. If she wants to stay, she must satisfy all my unreasonable demands, including but not limited to letting me take advantage of her, and even helping me resolve my physical needs when necessary!"

[That's straightforward enough, right?]

[Even an idiot should be able to tell what I mean by now, right?]

[Remaining Warrior, if you have even a shred of justice in you, there's no way you could turn a blind eye to this, right?]

[According to the female lead's character design in the plot, no matter which Female Protagonist it is, she must stand on the side of justice and would never allow me to do such a thing!]

[Little Sheep, don't worry too much. Although I'm saying this, I'll never actually do anything to you! You're Lin Tian's woman now; if I were to lay a hand on you, I'd really be looking for an early grave!]

"Chenfeng, you're so overbearing! I just love a man as overbearing as you!" Yang Shuyue said with a smile, winking at him.

Since she already knew Jiang Chenfeng's plan, she naturally wouldn't follow it.

Following Jiang Chenfeng's plan wouldn't benefit her at all!

Besides, she was very curious to see what he would do if she didn't play along with his tropes.

This was so interesting!

Yang Shuyue was in a very pleasant mood.

You, Jiang Chenfeng, want to play me, Yang Shuyue, like a fiddle?

You're dreaming!

Just because you keep calling me 'The Remaining Warrior' in your head, there's no way I'm going to cooperate with your acting!

Even if I'm nearly thirty, I'm still a famous beauty in Yun Province!

How could such an ugly title like 'The Remaining Warrior' be applied to me?

Once you change your mind and stop calling me 'The Remaining Warrior' in your heart, maybe I'll cooperate with you a little.

"President Yang, did you forget to take your medicine today?" Jiang Chenfeng asked instinctively, completely bewildered.

What the hell is going on?

Isn't this rogue behavior of mine?

How did it get linked to being overbearing?

Shouldn't you, Yang Shuyue, stop me righteously and stand up for Lan Xiaodie in the name of justice?

"Chenfeng, what are you saying? I'm admiring you more and more now. An overbearing man like you perfectly fits my criteria for a partner!" Yang Shuyue said coquettishly.

[Crazy!]

[This woman is really crazy!]

[Am I wrong, or is the world wrong? Isn't this Remaining Warrior the Female Protagonist? Shouldn't the Female Protagonist stand on the side of justice? How could she say such things?]

Jiang Chenfeng swallowed, feeling that it was a bit surreal, like a dream.

I've made myself clear enough, haven't I?

I'm just one step away from forcing myself on Lan Xiaodie right here!

But Yang Shuyue isn't angry at all?

Seeing me bullying someone like this, how can Yang Shuyue have this kind of attitude?

"Pre... President Jiang, i-if you don't fire me, I'll do anything." Lan Xiaodie also decided not to cooperate with Jiang Chenfeng's acting, unwilling to leave his side.

Jiang Chenfeng had helped her so much; how could she just leave like that?

If it weren't for Jiang Chenfeng, her father would have been dead long ago!

Jiang Chenfeng almost fainted from anger, his breathing becoming uneven and his whole body feeling uncomfortable.

He forced a lecherous smile and reached out to hook Lan Xiaodie's chin. "Xiaodie, since you've said that, you don't have to go back tonight. Come with me to my Villa, and we'll have a wild night together. I've been lusting after your body for a long time!"

Even though she knew Jiang Chenfeng was just talking, such blunt words still made Lan Xiaodie's face turn crimson. She lowered her head shyly and gave a soft "Mm."

Yang Shuyue said with a beaming smile, "Chenfeng, if you're going to have a wild time with this lady, you should take care of your health! How about I stew a pot of chicken soup for you tomorrow to help you recover?"

Pfft!

Jiang Chenfeng was coughing up blood internally from anger.

[Sister! Are these the words a Female Protagonist should be saying? How can you collude with the Villain?]

[According to your righteous character setting, you should be blasting me, cursing me out thoroughly, and then arguing with me to take this Little Sheep away from me!]

[What act are you putting on now? Why don't I understand at all? Is there a scene like this in the plot we're going through?]

[Damn it! What do I do now? Am I really supposed to take her to the Villa Area and 'execute justice' on her? If I actually dared to do that, Lin Tian would slap me to death tomorrow!]

[But this Remaining Warrior isn't following the script; I really can't keep acting anymore!]

Yang Shuyue looked at Jiang Chenfeng with a faint smile, blooming with joy inside.

You want me to cooperate with your acting?

Change what you call me first!

Otherwise, let alone now, I won't cooperate with you in the future either!

Jiang Chenfeng thought it over and felt that Yang Shuyue must be indifferent because she didn't know about Lan Xiaodie's situation.

He cleared his throat and said to Yang Shuyue, "President Yang, no need for the chicken soup. Aren't you curious why she doesn't dare to resist at all even though I'm treating her like this?"

"Why?"

"Because she needs something from me, of course! Her father is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for medical bills every day. It was because I knew this that I forced her to join the company and stay by my side as a personal secretary!"

"Oh, so that's how it is?"

"You still don't get my point! I mean, I'm using her father's illness to force her into submission! If she dares to resist me, I'll cut off her funds so she can't pay for the expensive treatment, and in the end, her father will have no choice but to die!" Jiang Chenfeng said.

"She needs money, so it's only natural that she doesn't resist you," Yang Shuyue said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Chenfeng was so depressed he felt like coughing blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you understand? If someone else could give her a hand and offer her a more stable job with pay no lower than what I give her, she could escape this misery and my clutches!"

"Where is this 'someone else'?" Yang Shuyue looked around, asking in confusion.

[Pfft!]

[What the hell, she's an idiot!]

[I'm one step away from saying her name directly! How does she still not understand?]

Jiang Chenfeng felt like he was vomiting blood internally. With a distorted expression, he shouted, "President Yang! As righteous as you are, have you never thought about saving her from her misery?"
