You’re Supposed To Be The Villain, But You Effortlessly Win Over The Female Leads?

Chapter 67:

After the first episode aired, Jiang Feng shot to fame almost instantly. He even gained a fanbase that proudly called themselves “Jiang Ziya.”

Fans were so captivated by his words that they compiled a collection of his quotes, which they named “Jiang Yan Jiang Yu.”

His name began trending on several hot searches on Weibo.

The overwhelming attention left the show’s production team stunned.

They knew Jiang Feng was good-looking and expected him to attract fans once the show aired, but they didn’t anticipate such a massive response so soon.

This was only the first episode, and it was one where Jiang Feng hadn’t even performed his best!

Yet here he was, already setting the internet on fire.

…

The impact of the first episode was so significant that the very next day, when Jiang Yuan arrived at his company, all eyes were on him.

The employees stared at him as if he were a heartless man who had abandoned his family.

Even as he entered his office, he overheard hushed conversations from outside.

“Is our boss really that much of a scumbag? Seriously, his wife was in the hospital, and he hooked up with the nurse?”

“I think it’s true. Poor kid, the young master is so pitiful. What a jerk!”

“Honestly, who knows what the young master has gone through at home. No wonder his grades are bad. How could anyone study in a family like that?”

“Do you think Jiang Nan might be the chairman’s illegitimate son?”

The more they talked, the angrier they got, and their voices grew louder.

No one seemed to care that Jiang Yuan was right there in his office.

Even when Jiang Yuan called his secretary to bring him coffee, she, who was usually polite, gave him a cold look and slammed the cup down with a huff before walking out.

Jiang Yuan: “??? What did I do?”

It seemed his son’s rise to fame had somehow turned him into the villain.

Things didn’t stop there.

Jiang Yuan’s phone buzzed with WeChat messages from old acquaintances, most of whom seemed to be enjoying his situation a little too much.

[Li Xiu: Hahaha, Lao Jiang, your son’s famous now! My daughter’s even a fan of his! She’s already spent thousands of yuan supporting him on his live stream. Isn’t it great? She’s funding your son’s career!]

[Jiang Yuan: …]

Li Xiu then forwarded him an article from a public account.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the headline, and his face immediately turned red with fury:

[Li Xiu: Check this out—‘Jiang Feng, the boy who shot to fame on Metamorphosis, and his scumbag father, Jiang Yuan, Chairman of Jiang Enterprises.’]

Jiang Yuan felt his blood pressure spike.

[Li Xiu: You’re lucky to have such a great son! Now you’re famous too!]

Jiang Yuan could only laugh bitterly. “Do I even want this kind of attention?”

…

Despite his frustration, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but grow curious.

What exactly had Jiang Feng said on the show that had caused such a huge uproar?

That evening, when Jiang Yuan returned home, he was about to watch the show’s replay when Xiao Xue came in, crying.

“Brother Yuan, I’ve always treated Xiao Feng so well, so why did he say those things on the show? Now, everyone thinks I’m the homewrecker who ruined your family. I couldn’t clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River!”

Xiao Xue was dressed in a long white lace dress, slightly sheer, showing off her curvaceous figure. Her tearful, pitiful appearance tugged at Jiang Yuan’s heart.

Back then, he had married Xiao Xue despite Jiang Feng’s objections, and he genuinely cared for her.

He also knew deep down that he had wronged both Jiang Feng and his late wife.

Though he felt bad for Xiao Xue, he could only offer a comforting pat on her shoulder. “Don’t mind the boy. He’s just immature. Let’s watch the show and see what he said.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Xue was also eager to watch the show.

She was confident in her son, Jiang Nan. After all, it should have been Jiang Nan who gained the most attention from the first episode. How could it be Jiang Feng?

Jiang Feng had such a terrible attitude, and thanks to her, his relationship with Jiang Yuan was strained. How could anyone like a kid with such a bad personality?

She was curious to see what exactly Jiang Feng had said.

With these thoughts in mind, the two of them started the replay.

The episode was only about two hours long, but as they watched, their expressions grew darker and darker.

It was clear that things hadn’t gone as either of them had expected.
