Translator: TNTG Editor: alteringviews
“Song Shi Cheng! I dare you to scold me again?!” Ye Tian were completely clouded with fury and his hands had nearly reached for Song Shi Cheng’s neck.
“Cool down Comrade Ye Tian. There are a lot of surveillance cameras here. I don’t think you would like to leave the prosecutor and judge a negative impression before the trial right?” Song Shi Cheng didn’t panic and just pointed at a camera in the parking lot. Seeing how Ye Tian had immediately withheld himself, he broke out smirking in amusement. His haughty expression was provocatively insinuating “hit me if you dare”.
Ye Tian knew very well that if he resorted to violence right now, the case of him previously injuring Song Shi Cheng would immediately become conclusive.
At the same time, Chen Guo Tao, Ye Wen Sheng and Ji Jing had become even more bewildered.
This idiotic young master had always been capricious. He would always be the first person to succumb to provocation and resort to violence. Thus, how could he even have the patient to engage in war of words? Not only that, the war of words had also revealed how sharp and quick-witted his though process was. The taunt went straight towards the other party’s weak spot causing those who are usually calm to lose their rationality. What Song Shi Cheng had just pulled off was truly unbelievable!
How could Ye Tian even imagine the old Song Young Master’s body have now been taken over by the novel’s author? This had rendered the standard script no longer working as it should be.
The most deadly point of all, the current Song Shi Cheng was very familiar with Ye Tian though process. He knew exactly which button to press with Ye Tian. Not only that, he also knew all the cards Ye Tian could play, his social network, skillset, personality, habits and shortcoming in life. As the saying goes, the one who knew you best are usually your enemy.
Given his deep insights into all the important characters in the novel’s world, he could actually had pressed onwards even without access to the Counterattack System.
Regardless of how fucking awesome Ye Tian’s Destiny was, it was still something Song Shi Cheng as the creator had bestowed upon Ye Tian. Thus, Ye Tian picking a fight with him was no different than seeking his own death.
“What cheap tricks are you trying to play here? You even dare to mess with this young master. Let me tell you now, you’re picking a fight way above your weight!” Song Shi Cheng burst out laughing in a villainy demeanour just like how the old young master behaved. He had intentional done so to avoid raising too much suspicion on him.
With that, Ye Tian was able to follow up with something from one of those regular scripts, “Song Shi Cheng, It’s too early for you to be happy. Life has its ups and down. So, don’t bully a youth while he’s young. You people just wait. There will come a day I will make all of you pay for the crimes you have committed!” (TN: Yup, typical Protagonist bravadoes! =D)
These sentences definitely had the style of a Protagonist.
Song Shi Cheng just snorted as he replied, “These word of yours should be left to the judge to hear.”
“It’s still too early to tell who the unlucky one here is.” Ye Tian said.
“Oh yes, that’s one sentence you missed out earlier!”
Chen Guo Tao indifferently said, “Ye Tian, if you one to pack up your personal belonging, do so quickly. Stop causing havoc here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
After glaring at Chen Guo Tao, Ye Tian had wanted to leave when he saw Chen Xiao Yan approaching.
“Ye Tian, you have been released!” Chen Xiao Yan was rather surprised and her eyes even revealed a hint of joy.
“Oh, don’t worry. I will be fine.” Ye Tian’s expression had turned warm. His eyes also had a tell-tale of unwillingness to part with Chen Xiao Yan.
Chen Xiao Yan had wanted to continue her conversation with Ye Tian but stopped when she heard Chen Guo Tao’s light cough. This was not an appropriate time and place for her to catch up with Ye Tian.
Song Shi Cheng didn’t reveal any expression and just entered the car along with her mother.
According to the original novel’s plotline, the turmoil this round would cause both Ye Tian and Chen Xiao Yan coming to realised their own feeling for each other. After confessing how they felt, both of them left the premise holding hands. (TN: Gosh, so cliché.”)
Now, under the compulsion of the System, Song Shi Cheng was being forced to uproot the seed of a relationship between the original protagonist and the heroine. It was just that he would have to crank up his brain power to come up with a feasible approach. Maybe he should consider redeeming another Love Life Calamity Pendant and find a chance to have Ye Tian or Chen Xiao Yan wore it?
As he was going contemplating about a viable approach, the System notification was heard as a System notice popup.
“Ding! Character had successfully humiliated the original protagonist thus seizing 1 Destiny point from him. Please continue with the great performance!”
Huh?
Was this a bonus for his recent action of taunting and humiliating Ye Tian? Besides completing missions, there was such a method to earn Destiny points as well?
If that’s the case, it seems like I must taunt Ye Tian whenever I met him in the future!
After coming up with this conclusion, his heart started pounding when another thought crossed his mind! If he were to follow along this line of thought, when he had successfully stole Chen Xiao Yan away from Ye Tian, not only will he get a reward from the System for completing the Romantic Plotline Mission, he will also be able to ruthlessly seized Destiny points away from Ye Tian as well!!
This was truly a wonderful discovery!
To hell with the consequences! Regardless of whether the approach was proper or underhanded, the approach that won him the hands of Chen Xiao Yan is king!
“Son, what are you thinking about?” Ji Jing asked when she noticed Song Shi Cheng’s ecstatic behavior. She then frowned for a moment before hesitatingly said, “Mom feels like your behavior had completely changed after being injured.”
“Mom?! Why would you suddenly say something like that?”
Song Shi Cheng realized that his current behavior was indeed suspicious. Thus, he quickly explained, “Mom, do you think I have become smarter and more sensible now? Didn’t I already explain it to you the last time? After the head injury, there was some memory lost but it had also caused me to reflect on my past actions. You can just say I’m finally matured now.”
“As the saying goes, this is a blessing in disguise because Young Master Song is finally matured. This is without a doubt a thing worth celebrating over.” Ye Wen Sheng who was sitting next to the driver added.
Ji Jing burst out laughing. After all, which mother wouldn’t hope for their children to be competent and have a promising future? Thus she immediately dismissed all her worries as she reached out to rub her son’s head and warmly said, “My son has finally grown up. I hope the heaven could be merciful and forgive our past misdeeds and allow us to weather through this storm to live a life of prosperity and enjoy good health.”
Ji Jing paused for a moment as she considered over a matter and sullenly said, “Nonetheless, Ye Tian that brat is a scourge. Assistant Ye, do you think if we should invite the prosecutor and judge out for a meal?”
Ye Wen Sheng knew that Ji Jing was still worried that Ye Tian will still cause his son harm. Without a doubt, she would like to take this opportunity to remove the problem at the root. However, Ye Tian was ultimately still a descendant of his own clan. It would be difficult for him to intentionally harm Ye Tian.
Fortunately, Song Shi Cheng had stepped in to resolve the problem. “Mom, how many times do I have to repeat myself? We’ll let the judicial system to take its natural course. I’m confident the law will be just and impartial. Is there a need for us to lower ourselves to the level of wicked person and waste our time being entangled with him? We’re after all the mover and shakers of the world.”
“Ah, my mom is definitely magnanimous. Sure, mom will listen to you this time round. We’ll just wait for the court’s verdict.” Ji Jing patted her son’s shoulder as she laughed cheerfully. Nonetheless, she had secretly made up her mind to eliminate any threats to his by any means necessary!
“Right, speaking of which I realized Chen Guo Tao’s daughter had a close relationship with Ye Tian.” Ji Jing sneered. “I heard that this daughter without any status or identity had good academic results since young and very passionate with her work, yet she couldn’t avoid behaving like a lowborn! Regardless of how competent she was, she can’t help being close to that Ye Tian! She really didn’t know what’s good for her! Most outrageous of all, Chen Guo Tao actually invited her to eat with us. Truly regrettable!”
Song Shi Cheng had turned agitated hearing that. Given how prejudiced her mom was against Chen Xiao Yan, completing this latest mission of his wouldn’t be easy.
