Villain Seized the Assassin Heroine at the Start! - Chapter 44

“She’s the heroine of the Superfluous Son-In-Law novel?”

After reading the piece of the introduction of the plot given by his system, Li Mubai had a vague understanding of Xiao Yingxia’s identity.

To put it simply, Xiao Yingxia was the nominal wife of the Protagonist Han Qiansan in the urban genre Son-In-Law novel named ‘The Superfluous Son-In-Law’.

That’s right, she was Protagonist’s wife just in name.

Though Xiao Yingxia and the Protagonist Han Qiansan were married for almost three years, they never held hands together.

It could be said that compared to the classic urban genre novel ‘Supreme Medical God in the City’, the Protagonist of ‘The Superfluous Son-In-Law’ novel was completely dumb.

Despite having an outstanding identity, he’d choose to be a spineless coward.

Though he’d always be reproached by his Mother-In-Law in every possible manner and was made to do laundry like washing undergarments and was pointed finger to his nose and was called trash, he’d never once lose his temper and want to retaliate against her.

He’d not even retort back at her.

If only the Protagonist was naive and continued to be a wimp, one could let it slide.

However, he’d start taking care of the things in hand keeping his family in the dark, and then from time to time, he’d gradually unveil his outstanding identity shocking his mother-in-law again and again.

When asked, he’d tell that it might be his old classmates or friends that helped them out and it had nothing to do with him.

Then again, his mother-in-law would point her finger at his nose and berate him for being the trash he was…

Well… Li Mubai had also read similar novels as these before…

Not even a few chapters in, he had already cringed and had an urge to fling his phone away!

But for the moment… he calmed his mind down and retraced his gaze back to Xiao Yingxia.

A trace of playfulness flashed in Li Mubai’s eyes.

Xiao Yingxia’s appearance wasn’t that bad.

She wore a light blue OL (Office Lady) suit. Her skirt tightly wrapped around her butt firmly lining her narrow waist revealing an amazing curve.

With just a glance, he could tell she possessed an out-of-this-world appearance.

It seems that Xiao Yingxia was worthy of her 98 charm points…

Honestly, among the women Li Mubai had seen so far, her charm was just beneath his sister Li Qingyao and Xiao Qingcheng making Xiao Yingxia also worthy of her main heroine identity.

However, Li Mubai felt more intrigued at the fact that Xiao Yingxia also happened to be a member of the Xiao family…

She was from a side branch of the Xiao family.

Surprisingly, a puny Xiao family housed two heroines, or rather two main heroines to be precise.

As Xiao Hailong had invited Li Mubai to his Xiao family to pick any two maids before, Li Mubai decided to squeeze some time out for a personal visit.

He was curious to find what more main heroines are in store for him in addition to Xiao Qingcheng and Xiao Yingxia…

…

“We’re sorry Miss. Without an invitation card, we can’t let you in.”

At the entrance of the hotel, though Xiao Yingxia pleaded, the security guards refused to let her in.

As tonight’s cocktail party was crowded with many celebrities and the upper echelons of Jinghai with dignified statuses, they couldn’t afford to make a mistake.

Though the woman before them was exceptionally beautiful, the security guards did not dare turn a blind eye and let her in.

After all, in case something unpleasant happened, as mere security guards, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

“Please, let me in. I’m here to meet someone to discuss an important matter. I promise it won’t cause you any trouble!”

Xiao Yingxia had yet to give up.

She had even gone to the extent of handing over bribes wanting the two security guards to turn a blind eye to her.

As part of Li Mubai suppressing her Xiao family before, many clients had terminated business relationships with the Xiao family.

Previously, she had been working in a decent post in the Xiao family’s company.

However, the crisis left everyone in the Xiao family at their wits’ end.

As a result, Xiao Yingxia took it upon herself to take over a project.

For that, she had to meet up with the client and get their collaboration deal signed.

However, if at all she mentions that she was from the Xiao family, she wouldn’t even be allowed to enter the client’s company.

So she planned to meet up with the client at the cocktail party.

However, as she hadn’t carried the invitation card with her, she wasn’t even allowed to step into the hotel.

So Xiao Yingxia was anxious at this moment.

“Ugh, what do you think you are doing?!”

Seeing that Xiao Yingxia wanted to bribe them, the two security guards were displeased.

Ruyi Hotel was a top-notch five-star hotel in Jinghai.

As the security guards working there, they also had their own pride.

Xiao Yingxia’s act of bribing them was the same as humiliating them.

One of the security guards uttered in a cold and condemning tone, “It doesn’t matter what all you had to say. If you insist on not backing down, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”

After speaking, he coldly slapped Xiao Yingxia’s hand holding the bribe.

The crowd arriving at the entrance of the hotel, including many celebrities were staring at her like a clown.

Xiao Yingxia felt so awkward that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

However, a pair of hands then pulled her arm, and a gentle jade-like voice rang in her ears, “This Young Miss here is with me…”

Li Mubai said and handed over a genuine golden invitation card.

The two security guards immediately turned pale with fright and quickly accepted it.

As Xiao Yingxia was suddenly pulled by the arm, she subconsciously struggled and turned her head when a flawless silhouette entered her vision.

She was greeted with the appearance of a handsome man.

The man tenderly looked at her and said, “Sorry, I’m late. I let you wait for a while…”
