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

Chapter 68:

The playback of the show made things painfully clear.

Jiang Yuan, despite being a shrewd businessman, had missed something crucial.

As the head of a mid-sized company earning tens of millions a year, he hadn’t reached his position by being naïve.

But now, after watching Jiang Nan’s behavior and listening to what he said, the truth was undeniable.

It was clear that Jiang Nan harbored a deep resentment toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Nan had consistently spoken suspiciously in front of the cameras, making accusations.

It was obvious that his intentions were far from pure.

For so long, Jiang Nan’s “adorable” behavior had been nothing but a facade.

He had never liked Jiang Feng.

All the compliments and smiles that Jiang Nan had shown him were just a front.

Jiang Yuan had been blind.

He had failed to see his own son’s needs, instead focusing on Jiang Nan and ignoring Jiang Feng.

At this moment, he wished he could go back 10 years and slap his past self.

Jiang Feng was his only son!

How could he have not cherished him more?

Yes, Jiang Feng had grown more rebellious over the years, and the father-son bond between them had frayed.

Even when Jiang Yuan had wanted to mend the relationship, he didn’t know where to begin.

But now…

Seeing his son on television, earnestly talking about his dream of becoming a professional gamer and lamenting that his father didn’t understand him, Jiang Yuan was struck with confusion for the first time.

Had he really been such an inadequate father?

Reflecting on the past years, it became evident that he hadn’t shown his son enough care or attention.

Was Jiang Feng’s anger justified?

Jiang Yuan’s heart tightened with regret.

…

During Jiang Feng’s personal interview, the director asked, “Is this how communication is usually at home?”

Jiang Feng had replied, “Yes. I remember when I was packing my things, Jiang Nan told me, ‘What does it matter if he’s your father? Now that my mom is married to him, even if you act like you hate them, your dad won’t divorce her.’ He said my dad didn’t love me at all.”

Jiang Feng’s indifferent expression and nonchalant tone deeply wounded Jiang Yuan.

“Nonsense!”

Jiang Yuan shot up from the sofa, his fists clenched.

“Who do I love if not you? You’re my only son. How could I not love you? Don’t believe Jiang Nan’s lies!”

He knew his son well enough.

No wonder Jiang Feng had become more rebellious over the years.

It had all been because someone had been whispering in his ear, turning him against his father.

And that someone was Jiang Nan!

Jiang Yuan’s face turned ashen, his entire body trembling with rage.

“Brother Yuan, Jiang Nan is a good boy. He would never say such things. This must be some kind of misunderstanding,” Xiao Xue interjected, panic creeping into her voice.

“Why don’t we wait until the show finishes? We can ask Xiao Feng directly. Jiang Nan has always been kind to Xiao Feng. He followed him on the show to take care of him. How could he have done such a thing?”

Xiao Xue clung to Jiang Yuan’s arm, her beautiful eyes welling with tears, her expression one of fragile innocence.

However, Jiang Yuan remained unmoved.

He quietly pulled his arm away from her grip, making Xiao Xue even more anxious.

In the 10 years they had been together, she had never seen him look so serious.

In the past, even the slightest frown from her would make Jiang Yuan worry.

Now, despite her tears and pitiful act, he didn’t offer a single word of comfort.

Xiao Xue’s heart was filled with frustration and fear.

“Brother Yuan, why are you ignoring me? Are you blaming me?” she asked, wiping the tears from her face.

“If Jiang Nan really is… such a bad boy, then it’s my fault for not raising him well. I don’t deserve to be with you. Let’s… let’s get a divorce.”

The word “divorce” seemed to drain all the strength from Xiao Xue.

No matter how much she tried to manipulate the situation, she couldn’t deny that she had genuine feelings for Jiang Yuan.

But she knew Jiang Yuan all too well.

Even though his relationship with Jiang Feng had been strained, Jiang Yuan deeply cared about his son.

It was because of this care that he struggled to navigate their relationship.

Jiang Feng was Jiang Yuan’s soft spot.

And anyone who touched that soft spot would face severe consequences.

Right now, her only hope was to retreat in order to advance, giving herself a chance to salvage the situation.

Jiang Yuan’s stern expression finally softened.

“Have you really thought it through?” he asked, his brows easing.

“Yes, I’ve thought it through. If Jiang Nan truly treated Xiao Feng like that, I would be too ashamed to stay. I’ve always treated Xiao Feng like my own son, but… I… I can’t bear it…”

Xiao Xue’s tears flowed more freely.

“Sigh.”

Jiang Yuan let out a deep sigh before suddenly asking, “Did you switch your shift to work in Xiao Feng’s mother’s ward that day on purpose?”

Xiao Xue’s eyes widened, and her smile faltered.
