Villain - Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Hey, Which Family Are You From? Get Lost

Jin Lan had to make an appearance, as it was required by her duty. Given the stature of someone like Prince William, Jin Lan couldn’t avoid it. Unless Jin Lan didn’t want her job anymore.

William took the initiative and said, “Hello, Jin Lan.”

“Your Chinese is quite good.”

“Of course, it’s thanks to Ye Aotian’s great teaching. I really like Huaxia culture, especially ancient martial arts. Do you know much about ancient martial arts?”

“I know a little, but let’s not talk about that now. Let’s have a meal first. Since you just arrived, you must be a bit hungry.”

William shook his head and said, “I think there should be a party prepared for my arrival, right? I love big crowds. The more people, the merrier.”

“Well then, Prince William, who do you plan to invite?”

“I heard from Ye that the kids from wealthy families in Qincheng really know how to have fun. Naturally, the more people, the better. By the way, will Lin Qingyue be coming?”

“That I don’t know.”

“And will Chen Fan come?”

Jin Lan glanced at Ye Aotian and then at William before saying, “Chen Fan should come, but we’ll have to call to confirm.”

“Wow, Chen Fan must be impressive if you, the leader, have to personally call him.”

William smiled and said, “Of course. I came here with a mission after all. My family has some business collaborations, and we need to find local partners. I think these opportunities should go to the young people of Qincheng.”

Ye Aotian said, “Not to me?”

“No, no, no … Ye, business is business, and friendship is friendship. I believe you can seize the opportunities yourself.”

Ye Aotian gave a cold smile. He was never afraid of a challenge. The more challenging, the more interesting it was.

The two of them joked around and left.

Jin Lan had to arrange the party.

She couldn’t help it. Dealing with such important figures made Jin Lan feel powerless. If something happened to William while he was in Qincheng, it would be disastrous for her.

[Hahaha, now I remember. He’s such a silly character.].

[I think his name is William, right? Ye Aotian’s steadfast ally.].

[This guy will come and embarrass me too. Hmm, looking forward to it. But still, I have to spend money for that. How can you get publicly embarrassed without paying for it?].

[By the way, didn’t William’s sister come too? From what I recall, Ye Aotian ended up with William’s sister, that tigress of a woman.].

[This future Duchess, because of her, Ye Aotian had to face another villain’s revenge.].

Jin Lan looked at the updated diary and could roughly guess what was going to happen next.

There were a few key points: Chen Fan would kidnap Lin Qingyue, but when and what triggered it wasn’t written.

Right now, Chen Fan was going through his dark phase, which meant he would act arrogantly and be very irritable. However, this guy loved to act, and he would definitely enjoy playing this role.

Next up was the auction scene, not quite a party, but more like a salon, a style often seen overseas. In that setting, Chen Fan would be humiliated, especially by William.

But what role would Jin Lan play in all this? A spectator, or something else?

[Hiss, he even knows a foreign prince. This Ye Aotian is a bit mysterious. Hahaha, Jin Lan, you really want to climb the ladder, don’t you?].

Damn, I knew this guy wouldn’t say anything good. So, in the story, I’m just a side character, playing the role of someone who worships the main character. Even a dog wouldn’t want this kind of role. But to be fair, if I didn’t know about the diary, I would indeed be interested in Ye Aotian. A prince’s status has far-reaching influence. It all made sense now. This novel is somewhat reasonable that way. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if the villain were to actually start going rogue, the protagonist would be close to dying. Turns out it was William he feared.

Jin Lan silently picked up the phone and called Chen Fan.

“Chen Fan.”

“Sister Jin.”

“There’s an auction at noon, and I hope you can attend.”

Attend?

Chen Fan recalled the plot, and in an instant, everything became clear. He knew what was coming next.

“Sister Jin, what’s the matter? I think, given our current situation, it’s not really appropriate for us to be speaking on the phone, is it?”

“Prince William has some projects he wants to collaborate on domestically.”

Chen Fan fell silent for a moment before saying, “William from France? How is that possible? Why would he come to Qincheng?”

“Seems like he’s a friend of Ye Aotian.”

“That country bumpkin, that loser, how could he have such a friend? How is that even possible?”

In his heart, Chen Fan was elated. Oh my God, Heaven has finally opened its eyes. At last, the protagonist has a chance to embarrass me.

But this role still had to be played.

“Hmph, that country bumpkin, Prince William must have been fooled. The only friend William could possibly have is me.”

In his mind, he thought, Who cares who he’s friends with. I have no interest in being his friend anyway.

But the prelude to the public embarrassment had to be made. When the time came, Chen Fan knew he would be the one humiliated, and there had to be a lot of people present.

“When will you arrive?”

“I’ll be back. And I’ll bring a lot of people. I want everyone to see how Prince William becomes friends with me and not Ye Aotian, that country bumpkin.”

After speaking, Chen Fan angrily hung up the phone. He thought his acting was perfect. He’d give himself a full score for it. Top-notch.

Then, in the group chat of these second-generation rich kids, Chen Fan shared the location and sternly told everyone that they all had to get their asses there by noon. They had to come.

After sending the message, Chen Fan leaned back in his car, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette.

On the side, Zhu Yeqing was peeling fruit for him. Chen Fan rolled down the car window, took a puff of his cigarette, and leisurely gazed outside.

Damn, finally, I’m going to be publicly humiliated. I’m so excited. Should I let my face be slapped first, then turn my other cheek for another slap?

If Prince William shows up and the female leads’ attitudes toward the protagonist haven’t changed, Chen Fan would seriously start wondering if he’s some kind of old glass (homophobic term).

“Handsome, can you give me a ride?”

“No, I don’t know you.”

Chen Fan quickly rolled up the car window.

What’s wrong with this woman? Just because I’m in a luxury car, she tries to hit on me. This woman must be crazy for money.

But just as the window was about to close, a hand shattered the glass and reached in.

“Handsome, give me a ride, okay?”

What the hell, whose family are you from? You must be out of your mind. I don’t know you, okay? I’m telling you, I’m calling the police!
