I, the Ruthless Villain, Strangled My Fiancée at the Beginning and Left the Protagonists Terrified Chapter 88

Shen Wuxiao touched his lips, feeling completely satisfied. Hong Ye had made herself clear—there was no need to rush with the “planting.” He would visit the capital later and let those flowers bloom in full. Leaving the room as if nothing had happened, he headed downstairs.

Hong Ye was already at the dining table, calmly having breakfast like nothing was out of the ordinary. Jiang Huaiyue was in the kitchen, wearing an apron, her usual gentle elegance now touched with a domestic warmth that made her even more charming. When she saw Shen Wuxiao, she gave him a soft smile.

It was unusual for Shen Wuxiao to get up early—he usually stayed in bed well past breakfast.

“I’ll get you some porridge,” Jiang Huaiyue said warmly and returned to the kitchen.

Shen Wuxiao sat next to Hong Ye and subtly raised his hand, touching the spot from earlier. Hong Ye bit her lip, then suddenly punched him on the shoulder.

“Hiss~ Why are you hitting me?” Shen Wuxiao winced.

“I should hit you, you shameless guy!” Hong Ye’s face turned red.

Shen Wuxiao put on an innocent expression. “Speak for me, defend me, at least say something nice!”

“Peanuts? Are you asking for peanuts?” Jiang Huaiyue brought over a bowl of steaming porridge and placed it in front of him.

After the three of them finished breakfast, they sat on the sofa chatting casually. Before long, a car arrived at the villa’s gate—it was there to pick up Hong Ye.

Seeing the car, Hong Ye stood up reluctantly. “Sister Yue, I’m heading back. When I return to the capital, you have to stay in touch with me!”

Although she didn’t want to leave, she had no choice.

“Alright. Call me as soon as you arrive,” Jiang Huaiyue said, gently adjusting her hair.

She was warm and caring, like a true older sister.

“Oh, so you’re only saying goodbye to Sister Yue and ignoring me?” Shen Wuxiao walked over, dramatically sulking.

“You just want to bully me. Why would I talk to you?” Hong Ye snorted. “You probably can’t wait for me to leave so you can focus on your love lessons!”

Shen Wuxiao rolled up his sleeves. “Damn it, you’re right. I was so busy practicing love that I forgot to punish you!”

Hong Ye jumped behind Jiang Huaiyue and hugged her arm. “Sister Yue, look at him, he’s being a brute again!”

“I’ll handle him for you,” Jiang Huaiyue said with a gentle smile.

“Good! Drain him dry!” Hong Ye added cheekily.

“…?”

Sticking out her tongue, Hong Ye laughed. “Sister Yue, I’m going! And that lust-crazed ghost—I’m leaving now!”

With that, she ran out the door, got into the car, and urged the driver, “Hurry up!”

Shen Wuxiao and Jiang Huaiyue walked together to the villa’s gate, watching as the car disappeared into the distance.

“Ye Zi is so full of energy,” Jiang Huaiyue said with a smile.

“Yeah, she’s like a little monkey—but she’s sentimental too. I bet she’s wiping away tears in the car right now.”

“She really likes you,” Jiang Huaiyue said as she continued looking into the distance.

“I know. I like her too,” Shen Wuxiao replied shamelessly and without hesitation.

Jiang Huaiyue raised an eyebrow. “If that’s the case, why didn’t you take the opportunity I gave you?”

“Opportunity?” Shen Wuxiao blinked.

Jiang Huaiyue turned and walked inside. “I didn’t lock the door last night. I didn’t expect you to be so well-behaved.”

Shen Wuxiao’s eyes widened. “Damn… what a huge loss!”

He rushed forward and suddenly scooped Jiang Huaiyue into his arms like a princess.

“Hey! What are you doing, you rascal!” she laughed, pushing at him.

“Making up for the missed lesson last night. I love studying!”

With a grin, Shen Wuxiao carried her into the room and kicked the door shut. The moment the door closed, the battle began…

Meanwhile, at Zhonghai Cancer Hospital, Lu Tao arrived with a group.

Aside from bodyguards and members of the Huang family, he was also accompanied by a middle-aged foreign man with curly blond hair. Lu Tao knew how to put on a show of sincerity before applying pressure. Of course, it wasn’t easy to invite a top medical expert, especially one who could appear immediately.

But Huang Luoyan was in a hurry. Lu Tao’s true goal was to trick her—to get her entangled with Shen Wuxiao. As long as Shen Wuxiao was satisfied, everything else would fall into place.

So Lu Tao found a foreigner with some basic medical knowledge to act as a “world-class expert” to stall for time.

When they entered the hospital, they headed straight for Huang Luoyan’s ward.

“Yan’er…” Xu Guihua, Huang Luoyan’s stepmother, and Huang Dabao were all smiles this time, treating her like a precious treasure. All former harshness was gone.

Huang Luoyan was in the middle of wiping Tuantuan’s face when she noticed a large group arriving outside the ward.

“Dad, Aunt Xu…”

She froze when she saw Lu Tao among them. A wave of unease rushed over her.

“Don’t be nervous, Yan’er,” her father said gently. “Young Master Lu brought an expert with him. With this doctor’s help, Xiao Tuantuan will be just fine!”

The entire Huang family was all smiles. If everything went smoothly today, the Huang family would truly rise.

Lu Tao smiled and stepped forward. “Miss Huang, your parents are right.”

He made a gesture, and the middle-aged foreigner stepped forward, wearing an arrogant and overacted air of authority.

“This is a top expert in brain tumors from the United States. His name is—Lomis Zhongguodegou.”

Even the Huang family blinked in confusion. That name was… something else.

Huang Luoyan, not a fool, began to grow suspicious. Why did this so-called expert arrive the moment Lu Tao gestured? And why did he seem so fake, despite his polished appearance?

“May I see your identification and medical license?” she asked.

Everything had already been prepared in advance. Lu Tao had someone hand over the documents.

After a brief inspection, Huang Luoyan didn’t find anything overtly wrong. She sighed. “Hello, please take a look at my daughter…”

Her tone was heavy, nearly begging.

Since she had agreed to the deal, she no longer had the strength to argue.

The “expert” nodded solemnly and walked up to Tuantuan, pretending to perform a thorough check.

Tuantuan looked nervous. Huang Luoyan leaned close and whispered, “Tuantuan, it’s okay. This uncle is here to help.”

Hearing her comforting voice, Tuantuan nodded.

Soon, the “expert” announced his conclusion: the success rate of the surgery was very high. He even quoted professional-sounding medical terms like he was reading from a script. It sounded legitimate—convincing, even.

Feeling somewhat reassured, Huang Luoyan stepped outside the ward with Lu Tao and the others. She knew it was time to fulfill her part of the bargain.

“Miss Huang, I assume your parents explained the terms?” Lu Tao asked.

She nodded absentmindedly.

“Then let’s not delay.” He pulled out a room card. “This is for the presidential suite at the Dragon Court Hotel. It’s a property under Young Master Shen’s name. You just need to satisfy him.”

Huang Luoyan’s stomach turned. Disgust washed over her. But when she glanced back at Tuantuan through the glass window, she gritted her teeth and accepted the keycard.

The Huang family was ecstatic.

Their daughter was beautiful, pure, and untouched. With this, they were confident Shen Wuxiao would be pleased—and their family’s status would rise.

“What about the surgery?” she asked.

Lu Tao smiled. “Don’t worry, Miss Huang. Today, we’ll do further observation. Once your meeting with Young Master Shen is complete, we’ll proceed with surgery tomorrow.”

“The specialist already reviewed the medical file earlier, and he just said the success rate is 80%.”

That number was enough to silence Huang Luoyan.

“When should I go?” she asked.

Lu Tao replied, “Around noon. I’ll inform Young Master Shen. Just wait for him in the room.”
