Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother
Chapter 80: Ye Chen is targeted by a fat girl

“What, Ye Chen has been released?” Luo Mingde’s face darkened.

“Why would the Li family intervene to help Ye Chen?”

This time, the Luo family had exerted full pressure, but the Wang family spent a favor, inviting a big shot to intervene, and unexpectedly, the Li family got involved too.

In Magic City, the four major families are the Luo, Wang, Li, and Xie families. There weren’t many conflicts between the Luo and Li families, as their industries didn’t clash. So why would the Li family risk offending them to help Ye Chen?

“Big brother, it’s rumored that the young lady of the Li family has taken a liking to Ye Chen,” Luo Mingfeng, Luo Mingde’s brother, said to him.

After speaking, Luo Mingfeng glanced at Luo Mingde’s expression and saw that it had become even uglier. The most favored young lady of the Li family had initially been fond of Luo Zixuan. In fact, the Luo and Li families had once considered a marriage alliance. However, Luo Zixuan adamantly refused, leading both families to drop the idea.

“What does grandfather think about this?” Luo Mingde asked his brother.

“Father said to temporarily let Ye Chen go,” Luo Mingfeng replied reluctantly, knowing that Luo Mingde would not be pleased.

Indeed, Luo Mingde was unwilling to let Ye Chen off the hook, but he also knew he had no choice but to comply. The old patriarch cherished Luo Zixuan greatly, and he would not have suggested backing off from Ye Chen unless it was absolutely necessary.

“You go ahead, I need some time alone,” Luo Mingde said.

Luo Mingfeng understood his brother’s foul mood and didn’t disturb him further.

At the same time, Ye Chen, who had just been released, found himself entangled by a woman, Li Ting, the most pampered young lady of the Li family.

“Ye Chen, this time we owe it to Li Ting for asking the Li family for help. You should really thank her,” Wang Hong said to Ye Chen.

Looking at Li Ting, who was eyeing him with a beaming smile, Ye Chen managed a stiff expression on his face. This ‘young lady’ indeed lived up to her name, being as heavy as ‘gold’. Standing at about 1.6 meters tall, she weighed at least 250 pounds, almost resembling a ball. No wonder Luo Zixuan was adamantly against the marriage alliance with the Li family.

“Ye Chen, do you remember me?” Li Ting asked him.

“I don’t have much of an impression,” Ye Chen replied. He genuinely didn’t recall Li Ting and had no idea how she knew him.

Li Ting’s face fell slightly upon hearing Ye Chen’s response, but it was understandable that he didn’t remember her. She had seen Ye Chen by chance in a bar and had fallen for him at first sight.

She had shifted her affections from Luo Zixuan to Ye Chen, but back then, she didn’t get a chance to talk to Ye Chen, who probably didn’t even notice her. Later, Li Ting began to investigate Ye Chen’s background, and upon learning of his arrest, she pleaded with her family to help rescue him.

“Little brother Ye, although Li Ting is a bit overweight, she’s actually quite nice. Being with her would be really beneficial for you,” Wang Hong whispered to Ye Chen, trying to set them up.

After his suggestion, Wang Hong excused himself, saying he had other matters to attend to, leaving Ye Chen and Li Ting alone to create an opportunity for them to talk privately.

At that moment, Ye Chen felt a metaphorical stampede of frustration inside his head.

‘A bit overweight?’ he thought. ‘This woman is way beyond that, and I certainly can’t handle her.’

After Wang Hong left, Ye Chen remained cool and distant, not showing Li Ting any warmth. However, Li Ting seemed utterly oblivious to Ye Chen’s attitude, chattering and trying to ingratiate herself with him, which only served to irritate him further.

‘How annoying is this woman? Can’t she see what she looks like?’ Ye Chen thought, almost wanting to end her with a punch.

As the protagonist, Ye Chen was admittedly superficial, judging people by their appearances. Even though there was a saying that every overweight person had potential, Li Ting, with her freckles, and one eye bigger than the other, was the kind that wouldn’t look good even if she lost weight.

‘Why on earth did this chubby girl take a liking to me?’ Ye Chen pondered.

As much as he was annoyed by Li Ting, he couldn’t do anything to her, especially after Wang Hong had explained her background. Harming Li Ting would likely land him right back where he started, and he certainly didn’t want to leave Magic City in disgrace.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo seemed to be enjoying his situation. Xiao Qingxue was summoned by Zhao Yingxuan with a phone call, and what happened next was quite obvious. Walking out of his room, Chen Luo found Xiao Qingxue already fast asleep, exhausted.

“If Xiao Yongqiang knew about this, I wonder if he would regret his actions,” Zhao Yingxuan said with a smile.

Chen Luo, looking refreshed and pleased, chuckled, “If Xiao Yongqiang knew, he’d probably be even more determined to have me killed. He might even be willing to spend a hundred billion to have me assassinated.”

“Oh, I just interrogated Elsa and found out something interesting. She actually accepted two assignments. One to kill you and another to kill Ye Chen.”

“She had an assignment to kill Ye Chen too?”

“Yes. Originally, she planned to go after Ye Chen first, but since he was arrested, she changed her plans and came for you instead.”

“That makes me even more certain.”

“More certain of what?” Zhao Xinghua looked puzzled.

Chen Luo gave a mysterious smile and didn’t elaborate. Explaining it to Zhao Yingxuan wouldn’t make much sense to her. He was now more convinced that Elsa must also be one of the heroines.

Under normal circumstances, her attempt to assassinate the protagonist, Ye Chen, would surely fail. Then she’d be captured by him, and Ye Chen, valuing her beauty, would be reluctant to kill her and instead turn her to his side.

“I have some bad news for you. Ye Chen has been released, and he’s gotten involved with the young princess of the Li family. The Li family’s princess seems to have taken a fancy to Ye Chen.”

Zhao Yingxuan had just received this news. She hadn’t informed Chen Luo earlier as he was busy.

Chen Luo frowned deeply, realizing this was indeed bad news. Now the Wang family was clearly supporting Ye Chen, and the Li family was also getting involved.

“Giggle, being fancied by the Li family’s princess, Ye Chen is quite lucky,” Zhao Yingxuan said with a weird smile on her face.

Chen Luo, seeing her strange expression, was a bit curious.

“You probably don’t know what the Li family’s princess looks like.”

Saying so, she took out her phone and showed Chen Luo a photo. Upon seeing it, he almost spit out his water in shock, “Is that a meatball?” Sᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“I thought the Li family’s princess would be a beauty.”

This was indeed a disaster. Did Ye Chen have such good taste? To even have such a type of heroine, did he accept anyone who comes his way? Chen Luo internally admired Ye Chen’s tolerance.

‘System, tell me, is this Li family’s young lady the heroine?’ Chen Luo asked the equivalent exchange system in his mind.

Inquiring would cost him a bit of his wealth, but with his current financial situation, Chen Luo didn’t mind spending a little.

【No, this Li Ting is identified as an antagonist.】

“As I thought, Ye Chen couldn’t possibly have such a peculiar taste. An antagonist and the protagonist together, what kind of twist is that?”

Chen Luo spent some more money and gathered more information about Li Ting from the system, he finally understood why she was an antagonist. According to the original plot, Li Ting fell in love with Ye Chen at first sight but, knowing Ye Chen loved Xiao Qingxue, targeted her relentlessly with malicious schemes, meeting a tragic end.

Like Zhao Yingxuan, both were vicious female antagonists in the story, but their appearances were worlds apart. Now, the plot had obviously deviated, and Chen Luo wondered how the relationship between Ye Chen and Li Ting would develop.

“Perhaps this Li Ting can be put to use,” a glint flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes.

Everyone had their uses, and Li Ting was no exception. He began to calculate how he could benefit from her. After all, he couldn’t just watch as Li Ting, originally an antagonist, possibly turned to aid Ye Chen.
