Chapter 42

Leng Tianhao left, and Lu Chengwen picked up the phone: "Li Meiqin! Change it, transfer the money directly into Leng Qingqiu's personal account. No, just do as I say."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chengwen was so angry that he slammed his fist on his desk.

"What the hell kind of outstanding entrepreneur! What the hell kind of one of the four major families! Dog! Leng Tianhao, you're just a dog with only money in your eyes! Leng Qingqiu is beautiful and capable, and with a daughter like her, you don't treat her like a precious pearl, love her, and protect her... You damn, it's really disgusting!"

He sat there, catching his breath, and said, "Leng Qingqiu absolutely can't handle this shock... You want to play me? Now I'll give Leng Qingqiu one billion directly, and you kick her out? Without her, you have no money, and I want to see how you play! Fighting with me? If you weren't Leng Qingqiu's father, I would kick your balls back into your bladder!"

After venting his anger, Lu Chengwen lay back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his mind a mess.

At that moment, a figure emerged from behind the door.

Leng Qingqiu, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Lu Chengwen expressionlessly.

Lu Chengwen turned his head instinctively and saw Leng Qingqiu, immediately jumping up from his chair as if electrocuted.

"Qing... Qingqiu? What are you doing here? You... how long have you been here?"

"I heard everything."

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

【Damn! This is bad! She must be very hurt, right? Who wouldn't be hurt and sad in this situation?】

【It's over, she must hate both me and her father. Hating me is fine, but... how will she face her father in the future!】

"Qingqiu, you... listen to me, actually... some things... "

"You don't need to say anything. It's too late to say anything about this."

Lu Chengwen couldn't think of anything to say either.

This conversation, once heard by Leng Qingqiu, couldn't be salvaged!

Even if he had the tongue of Zhuge Liang, who could debate with a hundred scholars, he couldn't say anything good.

Lu Chengwen, with a guilty look, said, "I'm... sorry."

Leng Qingqiu didn't speak, just looked at Lu Chengwen, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Chengwen suddenly became furious: "Zhao Gang, Jiang Shihan! Get in here!"

Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan were both scared stiff. When they saw the situation, they knew something was wrong and their faces turned pale.

"Are you both idiots? Why didn't you tell me Leng Qingqiu was here? What the hell am I paying you for? Pack your things and get out!"

Jiang Shihan was so scared she couldn't react, and Zhao Gang fell to his knees:

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, I was wrong, please forgive me this time..."

Leng Qingqiu said loudly, "I forced them, if you want to blame someone, blame me!"

Lu Chengwen immediately lost his temper.

Leng Qingqiu turned to look at them: "You two go out, this isn't your business. I'm sorry, I've involved you."

"Absolutely, absolutely..."

Jiang Shihan was still in a daze, and Zhao Gang pulled her out quickly.

At that moment, Li Meiqin rushed in, and upon seeing Leng Qingqiu crying and Lu Chengwen standing silently, she said nervously, "Mr. Lu... for a billion-level transfer, you need to... sign."

Lu Chengwen nodded, "Bring it here."

Just as Lu Chengwen was about to sign, Leng Qingqiu slapped the signing area, her tearful eyes staring at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and smiled bitterly, "Don't be silly, I'll sign, and then you'll have the money. You can... continue to manage Qianfeng and lead it forward."

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, "Why... don't you want to marry me?"

Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly, "I won't buy you with money, nor will I force you with money. You don't love me, being together would only hurt each other, why bother?"

Lu Chengwen slowly moved Leng Qingqiu's hand away, signed the document, and handed the pen to Li Meiqin.

Lu Chengwen's voice was incredibly gentle:

"Qingqiu, I know, I was a bad person in the past, and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you. If time could be reversed, I would never let this happen. If there's any way to make up for the harm I've done to you, I'm willing to do anything."

"This money is a small token of my apology. Take it. You're a good girl, smart, hardworking, and kind-hearted. Believe me, one day, you will meet your true love. He... he will be a lucky star, better than anyone in every way, full of virtues. He will love you, cherish you, and protect you. He will be the one you've been looking for, and with him, you will never feel lonely or sad again. Believe me, that person will appear, and that day will come."

Leng Qingqiu snatched the signed transfer document and held it in her hand.

"Qingqiu, what are you doing!?"

Leng Qingqiu said, "Li Meiqin, go out."

Li Meiqin had already wanted to leave, so she quickly bowed and turned to go.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chengwen said, "You need this money."

"You're so rich, buy me."

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened, "You... what?"

"I'm worth a billion, buy me."

"I've already apologized, isn't that enough? I beg you to forgive me, I won't do it again..."

"I'm doing this voluntarily."

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated, "Miss, you're just saying this out of anger..."

"I'm not angry, I like you."

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu for a few seconds and laughed in exasperation.

"Qingqiu, you... hehe, I know you're confused right now..."

"I'm not confused. A lot has happened these past few days, and I've seen your true character. I really like you. I genuinely want to be the young lady of the Lu family."

Lu Chengwen's face looked like it had frozen.

"Miss, you..."

Leng Qingqiu seemed determined, "Just answer me one question, do you still like me?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

【I like you, but do I dare to like you?】

【What's going on? This plot doesn't make sense! For three years, I've been following you around, not even as good as a dog, and you never gave me a second glance.】

【What's up with you these past two days? Why suddenly... What should I do?】

Thinking back to the past three years, Leng Qingqiu felt embarrassed.

Indeed, she lacked understanding of Lu Chengwen and was often very harsh to him.

If it were anyone else, they would have stopped paying attention to her long ago, but he had stuck with her for three years.

Now, Leng Qingqiu couldn't remember what she disliked about Lu Chengwen. Instead, thinking back to the past few years, it seemed that having Lu Chengwen around made her quite happy.

Thinking about the past, she suddenly realized that these three years had been a time of unappreciated blessings, and she felt guilty towards Lu Chengwen.

"In the past... I was wrong, you... don't be angry with me, I was wrong, can't I apologize?"

Lu Chengwen didn't understand Leng Qingqiu's change of heart. To him, she had almost instantly changed her perception of him, a complete 180-degree turn.

He couldn't understand or accept it.

"Qingqiu, are you doing this because of recent events? Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore..."

"I like it when you bother me!" Leng Qingqiu quickly said, "In the past, I was unappreciative of my blessings, and you were also pretending to be so annoying, which made me misunderstand you for so long."

"Misunderstand!?"

"In short, I finally understand your true feelings now. I like you, genuinely and sincerely."

Lu Chengwen felt his head spinning.

"I think you're not thinking clearly, this is clearly an impulse."

"Fine, I know, you're not interested in me anymore. No problem, you chased me for three years, now it's my turn to chase you."

Lu Chengwen didn't know how to react.

Leng Qingqiu smiled, a smile that was both happy and sad, making Lu Chengwen feel a pang of sadness.

"In short, from today on, you'll see my change."

Leng Qingqiu looked at the document in her hand, "This money is a loan from you, I'll pay it back when I earn more."

Leng Qingqiu suddenly leaned in and kissed Lu Chengwen on the lips, then blushing, said, "I'm leaving, you... you... I'll contact you."

Even after Leng Qingqiu left, Lu Chengwen was still in a daze.

Lu Chengwen sat in his chair, like a wilted eggplant, not moving for a long time.

When he finally came out, Jiang Shihan immediately stood up, looking at him nervously.

Lu Chengwen was startled and quickly said, "Oh, just now... it was my fault, I shouldn't have yelled at you."

Jiang Shihan quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, please forgive me, it was my fault, I shouldn't have let her in so easily."

Lu Chengwen patted her shoulder, "Don't be silly, I was just angry. Leng Qingqiu can basically walk into Dashing Group as she pleases, even more so than me. How could you stop her? Don't worry, I'll give you a day off, go home and rest."

"No, no, I'm fine, I can work."

"Then stop crying, it's not good for your appearance." Lu Chengwen said with a smile.

Seeing Lu Chengwen smile, Jiang Shihan was overjoyed, "I won't do it again."

At that moment, Zhao Gang walked in, looking nervous, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengwen looked at Zhao Gang, "What's up?"

Zhao Gang grinned, "Ms. Xu is here to see you."

"Xu Xuejiao?"

"Yes." Zhao Gang quickly said, "I stopped her, and she got angry with me. She even boasted that she would make you uncomfortable. I followed your highest instructions and didn't give her any face. Now she's almost furious..."

Lu Chengwen's lips twitched.

He thought, "Karma!"

I scolded Zhao Gang, and he got scared, so scared that to keep his job, he offended Xu Xuejiao, the dark lolita.

Lu Chengwen said gloomily, "In the future, when Ms. Xu comes, you still need to give her face, understand?"

"Understood."

Zhao Gang was almost in tears. Since Lu Chengwen mentioned "in the future," it meant his job was safe.

Great, I can still be a lackey, great! Wuuu...

Lu Chengwen quickly walked to the lounge. As soon as he went in, he saw Xu Xuejiao, her chest heaving with anger.

Lu Chengwen quickly smiled, "Ms. Xu, welcome, I'm sorry for not greeting you properly, please forgive me!"

Xu Xuejiao stood up, "Lu Chengwen, you're quite arrogant!"

Lu Chengwen quickly smiled, "Not at all, not at all. Something happened just now, and I scolded Zhao Gang, who got scared and offended you. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Why did you suddenly invest in the slum renovation project?"

Lu Chengwen groaned, "I... was inspired."

"Are you sure you can make money?"

"I'm sure I'll lose money."

Xu Xuejiao's eyes widened, "Then why did you and Leng Qingqiu invest? What's your plan?"

Lu Chengwen sighed.

【Long Aotian, come on, finish me off, I don't care anymore, I'm tired.】
