Chapter 21

Both of them thought it was the maid coming to serve them.

Because they were so engrossed in their conversation, and Chen Mengyun rarely entered Chen Mqun's room without announcing herself, the situation became awkward.

The moment Chen Mqun saw Chen Mengyun, he immediately pointed at Lu Chengwen and shouted, "Lu Chengwen! What nonsense are you spouting? That's my sister, the one I respect, admire, and deeply love... my big sister!"

Lu Chengwen was in a panic.

【Why is she here? Didn't she say she rarely comes back?】

【How much of what I said did she hear? From her expression, she must have heard everything.】

【Damn! This is going to be the end of me, isn't it?】

"Sorry, I might have... had a bit too much to drink," Lu Chengwen said nervously.

"Big Sister, it's like this, Chengwen today wasn't..." Chen Mqun stood up, trying to mediate.

"Get out!"

"Sure thing." Chen Mqun immediately ran off, without a moment's hesitation.

Seeing the disloyal fatso disappear, Lu Chengwen was left to face the furious Chen Mengyun alone.

"Sorry, I did have a bit to drink, and I let my mouth run loose. I apologize..."

Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen, her eyes filled with anger, humiliation, and sorrow.

Her voice trembled, "Lu Chengwen, after we broke up, you went around telling people I acted like a slut in bed, and now you're saying such things in front of my brother. I really want to know, what did our past mean to you?"

Lu Chengwen wished he could slap himself.

Men, sometimes, are like this. They like to discuss girls with their best friends.

The more they are best friends, the less they hold back, talking about who has big breasts, who has a nice butt...

This doesn't mean they have low moral standards, of course, Lu Chengwen and Chen Mqun are exceptions; their moral standards have always been low.

But this kind of playful conversation is common among men.

It's like a seasoning in life, just a way to have a good time, nothing more.

But if a woman hears it, especially the person involved, the situation is completely different.

It's an insult, a belittlement, and a great disrespect to women.

Especially for a pure girl like Chen Mengyun, it's hard to accept her first love boyfriend talking about her like this.

Seeing Chen Mengyun's tears, Lu Chengwen said guiltily, "It was just a joke, and I didn't go around saying bad things about you."

"To you, I'm just a woman you've played with, naked and the same as all other women, just a big toy, right?"

"I haven't played with anyone!" Lu Chengwen said, "I really haven't, and I didn't say those things. Someone must be spreading rumors. You know, with our status, rumors fly around school all the time. How many of them are true?"

"Feeling great, proud, and honored to brag to everyone that you've been with the Chen family's eldest daughter, Chen Mengyun?"

"Please, stop, I was wrong."

Chen Mengyun took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Are you going to call the police?"

"Hello, Hu Shuhui, didn't you say you wanted to take me out for a meal? I have time today."

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened instantly.

Hu Shuhui!?

Damn! One of the villains!

He pursued Chen Mengyun, drugged her during a meal, and was about to succeed when he was kicked in the groin by Long Aotian, and then...

Shit!

This plot has been triggered prematurely!

The key is that Long Aotian is on leave today, not at work, big sister!

If you go to have a meal with him, it's like a little lamb going to the wolf on its own!

Lu Chengwen immediately said, "Mengyun, you can't see Hu Shuhui, and you can't have a meal with him."

"Why? What's it to you?"

"It's not that, Hu Shuhui is not a good person, he has ulterior motives!"

"Is there anyone in this world worse than you? More of a scumbag than you?"

Lu Chengwen was speechless.

"Anyway... if you must eat, can you make it tomorrow? I won't care what you do with him tomorrow."

"I'll eat when I want to. I've been waiting for you all these years, waiting!"

Chen Mengyun shouted, "I thought you would change, that you would come to your senses and remember the good times we had as children. But I never imagined that in your heart, I was so frivolous, so cheap, so worthless!"

"Valuable, very valuable, Mengyun, I was wrong, you can't have a meal with Hu Shuhui, he's not a good person!"

Chen Mengyun turned to leave, and Lu Chengwen grabbed her, "Mengyun, please, I'm wrong, give me one more chance!"

Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen and laughed coldly, "You said the same thing back then, how laughable, you actually thought those words could deceive me forever. Lu Chengwen, I'm not the little girl who could be fooled by your words anymore. You should go find your Leng Qingqiu and be her lapdog!"

Chen Mengyun walked out quickly, and Lu Chengwen chased after her, trying to explain.

Chen Mengyun didn't want to hear a word, walking fast.

Lu Chengwen got desperate and grabbed her, "Chen Mengyun! I won't let you go!"

At this point, they were already in the living room, where Chen's father and mother were watching TV with a fruit plate.

Chen Mqun was also in the living room, lying on the sofa, watching them nervously.

Lu Chengwen didn't notice the change in the environment and shouted, "I don't care about other things, but you can't have a meal with Hu Shuhui, at least not today!"

"What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

"Because I... because I'm a scumbag! I'm not being reasonable today! What are you going to do about it?"

Chen's father, with food in his mouth, picked up the remote and muted the TV. The family of three sat on the sofa, watching silently.

Chen Mengyun laughed coldly, "Lu Chengwen, get your facts straight! The Chen family isn't a family that will tolerate you for the sake of business interests. When you talk to me, Chen Mengyun, you better think twice!"

The two of them were arguing non-stop.

Chen Mengyun's father leaned close to Chen Mqun and whispered, "What's going on?"

Chen Mqun quickly lied, "They're having a lovers' quarrel. He wants to pursue my sister, but she's ignoring him and wants to have a meal with another man."

Chen's father nodded.

Chen's mother asked, "Who is Hu Shuhui?"

"The eldest son of the Hu family," Chen Mqun said, "We fought in school."

Chen's mother was confused, "Wasn't Chengwen always pursuing Leng Qingqiu? Weren't they supposed to get engaged next month? Why is he coming after our Mengyun now?"

Chen Mqun explained, "At the last minute, he realized who he truly loves! Just wait and see, it's more dramatic than a TV drama."

Chen Mengyun said, "I'm going to have a meal with Hu Shuhui today. If I have a good time, I'll start dating him. If I want to, we'll check into a hotel tonight and get engaged next week! The wedding can even be before yours and Leng Qingqiu's!"

Lu Chengwen was furious, "Fine! You better keep your word, and don't come crying to me when Hu Shuhui scams you for money and sex!"

"Even if I get scammed, I won't come to you. I'd rather be scammed by Hu Shuhui than hear another word from you! The thing I regret most in my life is meeting you!"

"Chen Mengyun, I'm saying this for the last time, what you do is your freedom, and I don't care who you're with, I don't care at all!"

"Then why are you shouting at me?"

"Hu Shuhui is out of the question!"

"I like him, so what?"

"Tomorrow! You can check into a hotel, get engaged, and pick out a wedding dress tomorrow, but can you stay at home today?"

"No! When you broke up with me, you lost the right to say such things to me!"

"I didn't break up with you!" Lu Chengwen shouted.

"Why did you break up with me? Can you even say it yourself?"

Lu Chengwen's mouth moved for a while, "It was my fault back then, but now, I have to make it clear, you can't go to Hu Shuhui's dinner!"

Lu Chengwen turned around and saw the three people on the sofa, staring at him.

Lu Chengwen's mind instantly cooled down, and he bowed obediently, "Uncle, Aunt, hello."

Chen's father said, "Oh, Chengwen, you're here? Sit down and chat."

Chen's mother also said, "Chengwen, it's been years since you last came to visit! Sit down, have some fruit."

"Hey, these past few years... I've been a bit embarrassed, I was immature back then and hurt the elders, I've been feeling guilty. Today, I'm in a bad mood and wanted to chat with Mqun..."

Lu Chengwen's head was spinning, not expecting to be arguing with Chen Mengyun while her parents were sitting there, so he kept talking to ease the awkwardness.

Chen Mqun reminded him, "Bro, my sister is gone!"

Lu Chengwen turned around and saw that Chen Mengyun had indeed left.

Lu Chengwen quickly chased after her, "Uncle, Aunt, goodbye."

Chen's mother stretched her neck and shouted, "Come back and visit!"

"Sure thing!"

Chen's father was puzzled, "What was that?"

"Oh, young people's business, let them handle it themselves. At their age, boys and girls are always falling in and out of love, or hating each other."

"But Lu Chengwen is getting engaged soon!"

"When I was getting engaged, didn't you steal my fiancée?"

Chen's father grumbled, "He's getting engaged and still coming after my daughter..."

Chen's mother urged, "TV, turn up the volume."

...

Lu Chengwen chased out the door, but Chen Mengyun was nowhere to be seen.

Leaving Zhao Gang behind, he drove around the city, but Xuecheng was so big, how could he find her?

He had no choice but to call Leng Qingqiu urgently.

Leng Qingqiu was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, feeling sad and upset.

The situation had completely changed.

Her father had issued an ultimatum, and he was a man of his word. Her position as CEO could be revoked at any moment.

And Lu Chengwen, who had been her devoted lapdog, suddenly became heartless and indifferent, looking at her like a curse, wanting to stay as far away as possible.

Is the world abandoning me?

At this moment, Lu Chengwen's call came in. Seeing his name on the screen, Leng Qingqiu's heart suddenly ignited with a fierce hope.

She was surprised by how quickly her mood had changed.

Just a moment ago, she was so negative and sad.

Seeing this call, she suddenly felt happy, holding onto a glimmer of hope, and her mind raced with over a hundred thoughts:

Why is he calling me? What for?

Is he changing his mind and wants to pursue me again? Hmph, I won't even talk to you!

What if he invites me out? What should I wear?

Wait, how should I talk to him?

Leng Qingqiu sat up, crossed her legs on the bed, fixed her hair and clothes, cleared her throat, took a deep breath, patted her chest, and told herself to calm down.

Then she cautiously pressed the answer button, trying to stay calm, but her voice still trembled, "Hello, what's up?"

"Qingqiu, are your people still waiting? Is Long Aotian back home?"

Lu Chengwen seemed very anxious.

"They've already left."

"Send someone immediately, we must find Long Aotian!"

"Why find him?" Leng Qingqiu's mood plummeted again.

It's not for me, not to pursue me.

Lu Chengwen was in a panic, "It's an emergency, an emergency. I had a fight with Chen Mengyun, and she stormed out to have a drink with Hu Shuhui. I'm very worried about her. We need to find Long Aotian, only he can find her and bring her back to me..."

Leng Qingqiu instantly flew into a rage, "Lu Chengwen! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

She hung up the phone.
