Chapter 72

Chen Mengyun arrived at the Lu family residence, accompanied by over a dozen assistants, carrying a large number of packages.

As soon as she entered the house, she sensed that the atmosphere was off. The foyer was piled high with various gifts, and Chen Mengyun, being a frequent visitor to the Lu family, knew very well that the Lu family was not fond of receiving gifts. It was quite difficult to give them gifts.

But today, there were too many things.

Chen Mengyun, fearing that the items would get mixed up, instructed, "Put our things over there, separate from others."

"Yes, Miss."

Chen Mengyun saw the backs of Mr. and Mrs. Lu as they tried to leave through a large side door and immediately called out joyfully, "Uncle, Aunt!"

Mr. Lu had no choice but to stop, turning around with a forced smile, "Oh, Mengyun, you're here. Chengwen is inside, go find him."

"Uncle, Aunt!"

Chen Mengyun ran over and held Mrs. Lu's arm, "Aunt, Uncle, I came to see you, not Chengwen. I've brought you a lot of good things!"

Mr. Lu thought to himself, "You'd better not pay attention to him, then he'll be like a stinky dog."

But who would believe it!?

If you're not here to see Chengwen, why did you bring us gifts? It's been so long since you've visited.

Mrs. Lu forced a smile, "Why go to such trouble? We're family, anyway... Chengwen, Mengyun is here!"

Lu Chengwen felt a headache coming on, walked to the side corridor, and looked at Chen Mengyun, "What are you here for?"

Chen Mengyun was instantly very unhappy.

Not even the basic courtesy? Do I bother you that much?

Chen Mengyun put on a stern face, "I didn't come to see you, I came to see Uncle and Aunt."

Lu Chengwen nodded, "Dad, Mom, she's here to see you, you chat."

He then turned to leave.

Mrs. Lu immediately panicked.

She grabbed Lu Chengwen, her eyes blazing, "How old are we? Can we withstand your折腾 (trouble)? What have you been doing lately? Why are they all coming here? Have you done something to them?"

Lu Chengwen whispered, "I haven't done anything, they're just being crazy."

"How can they come to you if you haven't done anything? Do you think you're a saint? You caused the trouble, you deal with it! Your dad and I want to live a few more years!"

She then turned to look at the dejected Chen Mengyun, smiling, "Mengyun, don't listen to him, he often talks about you. You two chat, I'll go treat Uncle's heart disease."

"Ah? Heart disease?"

Mrs. Lu hit Mr. Lu, who was still in a daze, and he immediately came to, clutching his chest, "Oh no, no, my heart..."

Mrs. Lu, "Old man, slow down!"

Mr. Lu, "I need to see a doctor!"

"Old man, slow down."

"I need to see a doctor."

"Old man, slow down..."

Chen Mengyun felt very strange.

This couple seemed to see her like a ghost, clearly pretending to be sick, their upper bodies shaking, but their legs moving quickly!

They ran to the front of the courtyard, and at the pool, they made a sharp turn and disappeared.

"What... What's wrong with Uncle and Aunt?"

"It's not your business," Lu Chengwen said coldly, "What do you want?"

"Are you going to treat me like this?" Chen Mengyun said, feeling wronged, "I'm a girl! I have my dignity!"

"Miss, if you have dignity, don't bother me. I'm like this, why are you still coming to me?"

Chen Mengyun was on the verge of tears, "What did I do wrong to make you hate me so much?"

"It was you who broke up with me, the pain of being dumped, we can't be together! No, we're completely over!"

Chen Mengyun screamed, "It was clearly you who cheated!"

"That was your brother who got me drunk and put two women in my bed!"

"Then why did you let them into your bed?"

"Miss, I was so drunk, those two women were just playing on their phones, each earning 50,000 yuan, I didn't do anything!"

"Then why didn't you explain to me?"

"Did you listen to me? As soon as I woke up, you threw water in my face with a vase and slapped me in front of all my friends!"

"So it's my fault?"

"What else could it be?"

Chen Mengyun's lips trembled with anger, "Then why are you being so nice to me now?"

Lu Chengwen widened his eyes, "Miss, are you crazy? This is being nice? Are you a masochist? I don't want anything to do with you!"

Chen Mengyun said, "So in your eyes, I'm just a cheap gift, and you're not interested, right?"

"Ha!" Lu Chengwen stared at Chen Mengyun, firmly, "Yes!"

Tears streamed down Chen Mengyun's face, and at that moment, she wanted to turn and leave.

But her remaining rationality told her something was off.

Although Lu Chengwen was a scoundrel, he was never this harsh or cold to girls.

He was always gentle to girls, sweet-talking and coaxing them.

Even after breaking up with her, he never said a bad word about her.

Now, suddenly treating her like this, it was clearly intentional.

I need to stay calm!

Chen Mengyun's beautiful big eyes sparkled with tears, but her gaze was firm and resolute.

Even if I die, I want to die with clarity!

"You don't hate me, you must have a reason! Is it because of Long Aotian? Are you so sure I would like Long Aotian?"

"Who you like is none of my business..."

"No!"

Chen Mengyun reached out, holding the pillar to stop Lu Chengwen from leaving, "You have to explain to me today, or I won't leave your house!"

"Miss, please, your family has billions of assets, what kind of man can't you get? If not, I can get you some male models, they're all top-notch!"

Chen Mengyun shouted, "Lu Chengwen! You're not human! How can you humiliate me like this! Explain! You have to explain today!"

While they were arguing outside, inside the lounge area, Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao exchanged glances.

Xu Xuejiao smiled, "So harsh!"

Leng Qingqiu sighed, "Why be so hurtful, just talk nicely."

Xu Xuejiao said, "Their feelings are deep, I always felt that Mengyun has never let go of Chengwen. My judgment was right. If not, it would be hard to cut this bond. Chengwen is doing the right thing."

Leng Qingqiu's lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

She suddenly felt afraid, afraid that Lu Chengwen would treat her as harshly and cruelly as he treated Chen Mengyun. If that were the case, she couldn't bear it.

She was too proud, always the moon in the sky, surrounded by stars, and could never tolerate a man humiliating her like this.

Chen Mengyun felt something was wrong.

Everything and everyone was off!

The panic and desperation of Uncle and Aunt Lu, as if they wanted to escape.

The cold and harsh tone of Lu Chengwen... and his anxious and uneasy demeanor.

Chen Mengyun's heart was on high alert, "Is there someone inside?"

"Ah? No."

The moment Lu Chengwen said "no," Chen Mengyun was certain it was "yes."

She turned and walked in with her head held high, thinking, I'll see who's inside.

Lu Chengwen caught up, "Really, there's no one. Don't barge in, do you have any manners..."

"Your house is like flat ground to me, I always come in directly."

Chen Mengyun walked into the lounge area and saw two women, two familiar women.

Xu Xuejiao and Leng Qingqiu were both awkward, slowly standing up.

Xu Xuejiao forced a smile, "Sister Mengyun."

Chen Mengyun widened her eyes, "Xuejiao? Leng Qingqiu? What are you doing here?"

Leng Qingqiu sighed, "The same purpose."

Lu Chengwen slapped his forehead, thinking, you really don't know how to talk.

Chen Mengyun turned, looking at Lu Chengwen, "Who do you like?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Misses, I'm really tired."

"I worked hard to get rid of Long Aotian's ambitions and temporarily protected our family business. You don't know what I've been through, how hard it's been!"

"My pharmaceutical factory's stock prices have been falling, many drugs are not selling, and the factory's reputation has been severely damaged."

"My slum renovation project is still short of over 10 billion yuan in cash, and I've been running around these days to raise funds."

"I've also offended the organization behind Long Aotian, and they might send a bunch of people to cause trouble for me at any time..."

"Misses, I don't have time to play games with you. Go home. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you don't lose money on the slum project. If it comes to it, I'll sell all my shares in Dashing Group, compensate your losses, and take my parents to the countryside to farm."

"I really don't understand what's going on. I'm not that lovable, and with your status, you don't need me. What's the point?"

Xu Xuejiao, looking at Lu Chengwen, said with concern, "Oh, take it easy with the pharmaceutical factory. Stock prices fluctuate, and we've been through it before. Business is about making or losing money."

"Exactly," Chen Mengyun also noticed that Lu Chengwen seemed very distressed, "Try to break even on the slum project. If you can't, it's acceptable to lose some. We have other profitable businesses, and it can be considered a contribution to the hometown."

Leng Qingqiu stood up, walked to Lu Chengwen, and looked at him with unprecedented gentleness,

"You're too anxious, you should relax. I won't push you today, we'll talk another day."

Leng Qingqiu left, very decisively.

Lu Chengwen, watching Leng Qingqiu's back, suddenly felt very moved.

Damn, Leng Qingqiu... when she's well-mannered, she really knows how to relieve a man's stress!

A good woman.

With Chen Mengyun and Xu Xuejiao left, the two felt even more awkward. If they were facing Leng Qingqiu, they would have fought without hesitation!

But their relationship had always been good, not exactly best friends, but they got along well.

Xu Xuejiao bit her lip, "I'll go home too, we'll talk another day."

Only Chen Mengyun was left, and she lowered her head, "Since you hate me so much, I'll leave too."

Once the three girls were gone, Lu Chengwen comfortably lay on the sofa and laughed.

[You want to compete with me!? You're still too young!]

At that moment, his phone rang. He answered,

"Chengwen! Save me! I'm in trouble, I'll send you the address. I can't hold on much longer, hurry! Bring more people, there are many of them!"

Chen Pangu!?

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated, grabbed his suit, and rushed out.
