Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Lu Chengzhou took out his phone and waved it.

"Type it to me via text message."

Xu Qian: "..."

What a novel way to chat one-on-one!

She felt that this was truly an eye-opening experience.

Su Qiaoman had no other choice but to do as she was told.

She briefly described what had happened last night to Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou checked the information and found that it was similar to the original work.

The only difference is that Lin Chen didn't stand up for her like in the original story, and he didn't even meet with her.

Lu Chengzhou sighed inwardly.

This male lead is such a worry...

What's going on lately?

If you're not going to follow the plot and focus on romance, what are you even thinking about?

No, he has to contact the male lead.

He promised to win over the female lead and establish a romantic relationship within a month. If he doesn't do his job now, when will he?

……

on the balcony.

Lu Chengzhou called Lin Chen directly.

The phone had almost stopped ringing when Lin Chen groggily answered it.

"What are you doing? It's so early in the morning, you're making so much noise..."

"I'm asking you, are you no longer planning to pursue Su Qiaoman?"

Lu Chengzhou was now in control of the other party's 100 million yuan jade pendant, so he spoke with confidence.

However, his questioning tone still made Lin Chen quite unhappy.

"What does it matter to you whether I pursue her or not..."

"Oh, it's alright. Then I'll give this jade pendant to Meng..."

"Hey! Wait, wait... wait!!!"

Lin Chen on the other end of the phone jumped up immediately.

The jade pendant is in Lu Chengzhou's hands, so it's easy to get it back.

Once it actually falls into Meng Wanyu's hands, it will be gone forever.

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to ask for it.

How awful, how utterly awful!

Seeing that the other party was indeed angry, Lu Chengzhou softened his tone.

It's time for a verbal battle.

"Brother, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, it's just that we have to honor our bets and follow the rules. If everyone breaks their promises, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"To give an example..."

"I promised to return the jade pendant to you after you completed the bet, but I gave it away before you did. Isn't that shameless?"

"So, only when everyone follows the rules will the world be full of harmony and love, and only then can people trust each other, right?"

That sounds reasonable.

Lin Chen was completely fooled by him.

Their tone became much more respectful.

"Speak, what do you want me to do?"

"It's simple. Go find a man named Zhao Facai and have him give you the IOU from the Su family. You know what to do next, right?"

"what?!"

The Su family's IOU.

In other words, is that Su Qiaoman's family's IOU?

Wait a minute, isn't this Zhao Facai his father's confidant?

How did Su Qiaoman's IOU end up with Zhao Facai?

For a moment, Lin Chen was somewhat bewildered.

Lu Chengzhou added, "However, if Zhao Facai doesn't give it to you, you can try looking under the vases in your living room; you should find something there."

Lin Chen asked warily, "How do you know so much about my family's affairs?"

Lu Chengzhou laughed: "You're the one who told me, have you forgotten?"

Lin Chen was genuinely puzzled for a moment.

He quickly realized that he himself didn't know about this, so how could he possibly tell Lu Chengzhou!

Unfortunately, before he could question Lu Chengzhou, the other party hung up the phone.

Lin Chen stood there dumbfounded, his mind filled with questions.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to go down to the lobby to take a look.

At this time, no one is home.

He easily found the IOU that Lu Chengzhou had mentioned.

Looking at Su Qiaoman's father's signature and the debt list, he broke out in a cold sweat.

What a wonderful example of compound interest!

It started with just 20,000 yuan, but now it's gotten to the point where they're taking back the house to settle the debt!

"Su Qiaoman has been constantly chased by loan sharks for debt, and yet this IOU is actually in my house?"

"Doesn't this mean..."

"Is this the money she owes my family?"

"Is her current predicament all caused by my family?"

Lin Chen isn't truly a heartless person.

He knew that this was a society governed by the rule of law, and that such lending was illegal.

At the same time, he always knew how difficult Su Qiaoman's daily life was.

In an instant, his sympathy and shame for Su Qiaoman surged up like a surging river.

She was, after all, a woman he had loved.

……

On Lu Chengzhou's side.

He felt that his guidance had been effective.

According to the original plot, this IOU is undoubtedly a mind-blowing thing for Lin Chen.

This will be the source of his guilt towards Su Qiaoman.

Lu Chengzhou's decision to unleash this powerful weapon ahead of time was somewhat risky.

If the male lead doesn't take the bait or follow his lead, then there's nothing he can do.

The flaw in this type of person is arrogance and pride.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to keep the male protagonist's jade pendant.

Fortunately, Meng Wanyu put pressure on him all the way and taught him how to behave.

In short...

For Lu Chengzhou, the current situation is still quite good.

Thinking of Meng Wanyu, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

This girl is unlike any other girl.

For him, she was actually the most special existence.

He had seen the vulnerable side of everyone, but he seemed to have never seen her vulnerable side.

She always seemed to be a high and mighty empress, able to control everything.

Thinking of this,

Lu Chengzhou let out a soft breath.

"It's been several days since I last saw Miss Meng, and I've actually missed her quite a bit."

118. Does a childhood sweetheart not count as a brother?

Lu Chengzhou's matchmaking efforts were extremely effective.

Lin Chen had finished the matter before noon.

The debt collectors stopped bombarding Su Qiaoman with phone calls.

She hid on the Lu family's sofa, shivering all day, without eating or drinking anything.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chengzhou did feel quite sorry for her.

However, that was limited to sympathy.

People you shouldn't mess with should be kept at a distance.

Xu Qian didn't have as many concerns.
