However, compared to Xiao Ran’s calm, confident, and composed demeanour, Su Mingyuan’s behaviour was like a raging storm, yelling and shouting.
It was obvious to see that whether Xiao Ran’s words were true or not, Su Mingyuan was feeling guilty.
Xiao Ran had already won.
Watching as Jiang Hua appeared to be lost in thought and Su Mingyuan looked like a clown, Xiao Ran knew that the situation had already turned in his favour. On the way here, he had done a simple investigation and gained a rough understanding of Jiang Hua’s character.
With Su Mingyuan’s conspiracy now exposed and the image of the mastermind behind the scenes established by him, even if Su Mingyuan was innocent and had not planned to poison and scheme against Jiang Hua, it did not stop Xiao Ran from transferring Jiang Hua’s resentment towards the arena boss onto Su Mingyuan.
It also did not stop him from framing Su Mingyuan as the mastermind behind Jiang Hua’s poisoning. After all, everything he said was true. He had witnessed and heard Su Mingyuan’s conversation with the arena boss with his own eyes and ears.
Therefore, it was not difficult to surmise that Su Mingyuan was one of the masterminds behind Jiang Hua’s poisoning. It was a natural conclusion to draw.
With Jiang Hua’s honest and straightforward character and his clear distinction between right and wrong, he would not join Su Mingyuan’s camp and become the subordinate of his enemy.
So, Xiao Ran had already won. At this moment, he actually wanted to laugh out loud and release his emotions, but he held back. There was no need to rush.
To be elegant and composed, that was the key. The closer you get to the moment of victory, the more important it is to remain unfazed and self-assured. Only then would the fruits of your victory taste even sweeter, leaving you with a sense of endless satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Su Mingyuan saw Xiao Ran’s performance and breathed a sigh of relief. This foolish son of mine was doing pretty well this time. Of course, his own acting wasn’t bad either. He had already won.
With the help of his performance as the “White Knight” last time, coupled with Xiao Ran’s recent exposure of the conspiracy, it was clear that given Jiang Hua’s temperament, he wouldn’t choose to side with him. In this performance from start to finish, he lost to Xiao Ran in everything from verbal taunts, to visual comparisons, and even in the final competition for Jiang Hua’s allegiance. Xiao Ran had successfully fooled everyone.
‘Can I give myself a perfect score? This time, I will earn 1,500 villain points, which is equivalent to all of my previous performances combined. These 1,500 enhancement points will allow me to improve my skills by three years. Let’s take off!’’
Su Mingyuan was overjoyed and felt like singing out loud. But, no need to rush, no need to rush.
‘
The performance is not over yet, and I should continue my outstanding performance as a villain.’
‘The closer I get to the brink of victory, the more careful I have to be and not show any flaws or missteps.’
Only in this way can the final fruit of victory be tasted incomparably sweet and delicious.
As the two of them were lost in thought, they didn’t realize that there was another person in the room whose mind was also racing at the moment.
Young Master Su Mingyuan acted really well.
Jiang Hua glanced at Su Mingyuan, looking at the twisted expression of the other party, feeling a sense of admiration in his heart.
If it weren’t for Miss Su Xuelan’s reminder that Young Master Su deliberately pretended to be a spoiled rascal in order to deceive the other three families, Jiang Hua wouldn’t have been able to tell that he was acting.
Thinking back to the time when Young Master Su transformed into the White Knight, with his elegant and mysterious appearance, and comparing it to his current demeanour, if it weren’t for Miss Su’s reminder, Jiang Hua would never have been able to connect these two personas, let alone think that they were the same person!
So even though Su Mingyuan was performing so well at the moment, portraying the image of a villain in a city, clean text vividly, Jiang Hua had no thought of mocking him, and he only felt more admiration for Su Mingyuan in his heart.
For more than a decade, he has maintained this facade. He must have endured a lot of grievances.
“Su Mingyuan is playing the role of the villain really well,” thought Jiang Hua as he watched Su Mingyuan’s excellent performance with admiration. Even though Su Mingyuan appeared to be infuriated and twisted with anger, Jiang Hua knew from Su Xuelan, the young mistress, that Su Mingyuan’s behaviour was all an act to deceive the other three families.
Jiang Hua thought back to when Su Mingyuan had disguised himself as the White Knight, his demeanor was graceful and mysterious. But now, watching his current behavior, if it wasn’t for Su Xuelan’s warning, Jiang Hua would never have suspected that the two personas were the same person!
Even though Su Mingyuan was playing the villain’s role extremely well, bringing to life the image of an urban white-collar villain, Jiang Hua felt no desire to mock him. Instead, he felt more admiration for Su Mingyuan, who had been able to maintain this facade for so long, enduring untold hardships along the way.
“When Miss Su Xuelan told me earlier that the young master was only pretending to act arrogantly and recklessly to deceive the other three families, I couldn’t tell that he was just acting. When I think back to when the young master acted as the elegant and mysterious White Knight, I could hardly connect him to the person in front of me now without Miss Su’s reminder. It’s unbelievable that they are the same person! Despite his convincing portrayal of the villain, Su Mingyuan, I don’t feel any ridicule towards him. Rather, I am filled with admiration for him. It must have been a burden for the young master to maintain this facade for over a decade. He must have experienced a lot of grievances.”
