Xiao Ran’s eyes burned with ambition as he gazed at the sky. Today, Murong Hongxue’s attitude towards him revealed this opportunity and strengthened his resolve and hope.

Who was Su Mingyuan? Who was Jiang Hua? He no longer cared about them.

With Murong Hongxue’s support, what did he need Jiang Hua for?

Xiao Ran was utterly unaware that he was being manipulated and toyed with and was daydreaming about being a mastermind.

As he looked at Qingdi’s dominant and commanding demeanor, Viper couldn’t help but feel inspired and a surge of passion. He rarely saw Qingdi display the same arrogance and dominance he had when they were overseas, but today, he saw it again.

“Qingdi, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the company.” Viper thumped his chest with determination.

“Hmm, my good brother, I trust you,” Xiao Ran said as he patted Viper’s shoulder.

Viper was more than just a good friend; he was Xiao Ran’s actual brother, a person he could entrust his life to.

He had faith that Viper would keep an eye on the company while he focused on expanding his network and searching for opportunities to grow his business.

Since Xueqi was busy with the power struggle within the Xia family, she didn’t have much time for Xiao Ran.

This gave him the perfect opportunity to spend more time with Murong Hongxue and deepen their relationship. He was determined to bind her to his chariot and make her his.

In Xiao Ran’s eyes, his burning ambition was clear. If he could take down Murong Hongxue, he would be one step closer to achieving his revenge.

Even though this might seem unfair to Xueqi, he believed that she would understand his actions.

Murong Hongxue’s beauty didn’t tempt him. What he needed was the power and influence behind her.

He only approached her for the sake of his revenge!

With this thought, the guilt in Xiao Ran’s heart dissipated a little, making it easier for him to justify going to meet Murong HongXue behind Xia Xueqi’s back.

Unfortunately, his good intentions were bound to fail. Murong Hongxue didn’t even bother to make up excuses.

She outright rejected Xiao Ran’s invitations several times. However, this only made Xiao Ran even more eager to win her heart, seeing her as a unique and elusive woman.

But, on the other side of town, Su Mingyuan brought Jiang Hua to a tea shop and finally found out why he had chosen to side with him.

It turned out that the reason was that in the original plot of the novel, the scene where Xiao Ran rescued Jiang Yi from danger and won his gratitude and affection was actually supposed to be taken by his sister, Su Xuelan!

Not only that but after learning about the siblings’ situation, Su Xuelan immediately paid for Jiang Yi’s medical treatment and deployed her men to protect her around the clock, thus preventing her from being bullied by gangsters again.

This was a big favour!

Keep in mind that the reason why Jiang Hua came to the underground arena to fight illegal boxing was to pay for his sister’s medical treatment.

It was under the arrangement of his sister, Su Xuelan, that he was hired as a bodyguard.

Today, he came here only to settle the remaining payment for the previous match and terminate the contract with the arena owner. He saw the fight as a final farewell to his past.

Unfortunately, the arena owner had drugged him, and it was only by chance that he met Su Mingyuan and got embroiled in this argument.

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyuan finally understood everything.

The culprit behind all of this was none other than his own sister!

Of course, he also bore some responsibility. He should not have assumed that everything was under control after making his grand entrance as the White Knight.

He should have continued to closely monitor Jiang Hua’s actions and ensure that the story developed as planned, with Xiao Ran becoming the saviour of the Jiang family.

But at that time, he really didn’t think much about it. The most crucial thing was that in those few days, he was being pressured by his sister’s emotions and was so worried that he didn’t even have time to deal with his affairs, let alone pay attention to what was happening over here.

But who could have expected that it was during those very days that his sister quietly did this thing?

Sigh, never mind.

Su Mingyuan didn’t have the heart to blame Su Xuelan either.

She didn’t know that she was a character living in a story; she didn’t know the plot of the novel, and she just wanted to find someone powerful to protect him.

Although her possessiveness was a bit pathological, she still did it for his good and was a good sister.

It’s just a failure of one performance, and it doesn’t matter, I’ve failed before.

Isn’t it just a bottom-grade evaluation?

Isn’t it just a guaranteed minimum of 200 points every time?

These failures are all preparation for one big explosion!

The perfect evaluation I’ll get then will be worth the sum of seven or eight failed performances put together!

Failure is not terrible. What is awful is that you are defeated by failure and do not stand up and are eager to succeed!

Su Mingyuan never felt that he would continue to fail.

He summarised the lessons in the summary of the failure, which would reduce deviations, interference, and errors.

He was slowly controlling the overall situation.

He made the final savings for the great success of each performance in the future.

Finally, it’s my turn to perform with Ruoruo. This time, I don’t believe anyone can interfere with the performance and make it miserable again!

Impossible!

Because she listens to me the most!

Su Mingyuan was full of confidence again.

At the same time, the sound of the System echoed in his ear.

[Ding! At the end of the performance, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted, and the final evaluation of this performance is obtained.]

[Calculating …]

Oh, it doesn’t matter. It’s definitely not good anyway, right?

Hey, the system, don’t tease my wounds, do it quickly, and send the 200 villain points and strengthening points to the grandfather!

[Ding!]

[Your final evaluation is: Pass.]

[You have earned 400 points and an equal number of strengthening points. Host, please continue to work hard. Believe that in the next performance, your evaluation will continue to improve!]

Su Mingyuan suddenly widened his eyes, and he looked incredulously at the System’s prompt.

Pass?

Pass!

System, I had already completely given up hope, but you still surprised me at the last minute, didn’t you?

However, after thinking about it, Su Mingyuan felt a little strange.

Tonight, Xiao Ran finally failed to show off, so why did he still get a passing grade?

Was it because Xiao Ran did really show off in front of him one or two times before they argued over Jiang Hua’s ownership?

Or… did the system see that he had failed multiple times in a row and was afraid that his mentality would collapse, so it gave him a passing grade as a consolation prize to encourage him?

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

Su Mingyuan remembered his previous experience of getting a passing grade and suddenly seemed to have discovered something.
