Chapter 244 Chapter 244: Su Tao'S "Love Rival"
Chapter 244: Su Tao'S "Love Rival"
Si Chen wasn't familiar with the original plot. He could only analyze things based on the information he currently had, so naturally, he assumed that Xiao Ming was a fake.
Last time, when he was kicked by Dongfang Yang, he didn't put up any resistance at all. When the marriage certificate was torn up, all he did was spout some harsh words before slinking away in disgrace.
From an outsider's perspective, there was no way the Dragon King could be so pathetic.
But Chi Xiaocheng knew the truth.
This guy was the real Dragon King.
In the original story, if he was told to endure for three years, he'd actually endure.
She just hadn't expected that the opportunity to find Su Tao's father would, after all this roundabout way, still revolve around this male lead.
Although he went offline later in the original story, his presence becoming almost non-existent, he was, after all, a character with a protagonist aura.
Without a poisoned apple to negate his male lead halo, the will of the world would still be on his side.
But Chi Xiaocheng didn't voice her thoughts. She merely asked, "So, you're planning to fully investigate this Xiao Ming?"
"Yes!"
Si Chen nodded vigorously. "So, I want to double-check with you about the plan involving Su Tao. If you don't need me for anything else, I plan to focus all my efforts on tracking down Xiao Ming."
"He's on Ye Liang's side, and his disappearance makes me feel uneasy."
Chi Xiaocheng could understand him.
He had to return to the Si family for the New Year.
He was bound to face humiliation this time, and the sooner he found Su Tao's warrior god father, the sooner he could turn things around.
Before, there was really nothing you could help with.
But this time was different!
Chi Xiaocheng looked at Si Chen very seriously. "Actually, there is something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Her plan was missing a tool.
Ningning wouldn't work.
Dongfang Yang... Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but laugh just hearing the name, so he definitely wouldn't work either.
Si Chen saw Chi Xiaocheng staring at him without moving and felt a little uneasy. "I have a feeling you're thinking something impolite."
"Not at all~"
Chi Xiaocheng smiled mischievously. "The favor I need you to do is actually part of the plan. You have some understanding of Tao Tao's current situation through Doctor Lin, right?"
Si Chen said, "Yeah, I feel like she likes you a little, but I don't know what she's hesitating about. She's being indecisive and doesn't dare to make a move. My plan is to put some pressure on her so she has no choice but to come to you."
"Exactly, that's it!" Chi Xiaocheng clapped her hands. Si Chen's words were exactly what she was thinking.
It was different talking to someone with a high IQ. If it were Dongfang Yang, he would still be calling her sister this and sister that.
Si Chen saw through what she wanted to do at a glance and understood Su Tao's current problem.
So Chi Xiaocheng followed up with, "While I'm still experiencing amnesia, I think we can create a fake love rival. Someone who pretends to like me and then puts pressure on Su Tao. What do you think?"
Si Chen's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea!"
Chi Xiaocheng said with a smile, "You think it's a good idea too, right? Then I'm handing this task over to you."
"No problem!" Si Chen nodded seriously. "As long as you can get a firm grip on Su Tao as soon as possible, this is a piece of cake. I'll immediately send a few handsome guys... oh no, for you two, it should be beautiful women to pursue you."
"How about school beauties, movie stars, popular idols? Should I arrange them all?"
"Uh..." Chi Xiaocheng was momentarily speechless. "Do you think that kind of fake scenario would be effective?"
Ordinary outsiders pursuing her wouldn't create much of a sense of crisis. Even Ningning would be better.
Besides, Chi Xiaocheng wanted to cultivate Su Tao into a semi-obsessive character. What if she lost control?
She didn't want those strangers who weren't that close to her to get hurt.
But Chi Xiaocheng's question stunned Si Chen. "If that wouldn't work, then who should we get?"
Chi Xiaocheng looked Si Chen up and down.
Si Chen was taken aback and looked himself up and down as well.
Suddenly realizing a possibility, his body stiffened.
He pointed a finger at himself. "Me?"
Chi Xiaocheng nodded lightly.
This young master, known for his rationality, finally couldn't hold back. "No... can't I just call you 'Sister'? I've already been frank with Su Tao. I know you two are in a romantic relationship."
"Unlike an idiot like Dongfang Yang, who still thinks you're just sisters."
"I know all that, and she knows that I know. How can I pretend to like you?"
Chi Xiaocheng hooked her finger. "It's simple. You don't have to explicitly say you like me in front of her. Just praise me more, say you think I'm pretty good or something, and then visit me a few more times. She'll naturally overthink it."
"This..." Si Chen was momentarily speechless.
It wasn't entirely impossible.
Given Su Tao's mental state, she would definitely overthink it.
But why did he feel like there was something chilling behind this suggestion?
Seeing him hesitate for a long time, Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Si Chen shook his head, then nodded again. "Then let's do that for now. You're participating in the banquet tomorrow night, right? How about not pretending to be my younger sister, and instead be my female companion? That would be more effective."
"No way!" Chi Xiaocheng refused without even thinking. "That kind of identity, even if it's just pretend, is not allowed."
My love for Tao Tao is unwavering.
Seeing this, Si Chen could only reluctantly agree.
Well, he just had to show a little concern for Chi Xiaocheng, right? And Su Tao...
Even if she became a little abnormal later, she definitely wouldn't be as scary as Chi Xiaocheng.
At best, Su Tao was just slightly better at fighting than an average girl. She couldn't possibly kill him, could she?
Come on, she was only 1.66 meters tall! Si Chen was 1.9 meters!
After discussing the upcoming plan in detail, Si Chen left.
The next day, as planned, he came to put some pressure on Su Tao.
His reason was that he needed to discuss with Chi Xiaocheng the persona for tonight's banquet.
In the end, for Su Tao, this banquet was just something to do for fun to accompany Xiaocheng. She was more looking forward to Chi Xiaocheng not being able to walk and having to carry her.
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't overthink it.
Since Si Chen was around, she simply went home again.
But what she found strange was that the cat food she had prepared for Da Wang a couple of days ago was almost gone, and now this cat, who seemed to be turning into a spirit, wasn't home.
She had prepared five days' worth of food.
But after only two days, the cat food was gone.
Unable to understand, she assumed Da Wang's appetite had gotten better.
She watered the potted plants, refilled Da Wang's cat food, and then spent the day studying acting.
Facing the mirror, she felt like learning it was quite easy.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
As evening approached, she went to Si Chen's house with Dongfang Yang.
Chi Xiaocheng had already been discharged from the hospital with Si Chen. The hospital said she still needed to continue getting IV drips and return before 12 o'clock at night, and there wouldn't be any problems.
Sitting in the young master's car, Su Tao's WeChat messages kept flashing.
There were messages from Si Chen, asking when she would arrive.
There were messages from Cheng Cheng, chatting with her about Xiaocheng.
There was also one from her junior high school friend, Tang Tang. She was also attending the banquet and excitedly asked when she could see her and Xiaocheng together.
This junior high school friend seemed to be shipping her and Xiaocheng a little.
