After being the pampered young lady of the Lu family for seventeen years, she discovered she was actually a fake heiress. Meng Anran decisively cut ties with the Lu family and returned to the finan...
Chapter 27: The attack is to the extent that the other party is not willing to die
Meng Anran leaned against the window until she saw the limited edition Apollo Apollo with a dent on the front of the car driving out of the community gate, then she looked away.
After dealing with Lu Yi today, it will be Lu Heng's turn tomorrow.
Meng Yushu changed her clothes and came out. Seeing her sister standing by the window, looking a little depressed, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you close to Second Young Master Lu?"
If it wasn't good, Lu Yi probably wouldn't have come here specially to take her away, right?
Meng Anran was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, a laugh that was both sad and sarcastic. "Brother, the Meng family went bankrupt only two years ago. Haven't you heard about me and the Lu brothers before?"
Meng Yushu pursed his lips. When the Meng family was still considered a wealthy family, he rarely attended business activities and had never met the Lu family.
But I heard that the two sons and one daughter of the Lu family were at loggerheads with each other and hated each other so much that they wanted the other to die.
"Rumors aren't necessarily true. It seems he still cares about you."
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly, she couldn't bear the madman's care for her.
When she was five years old, she was still ignorant and longed for the warmth of her family and the protection of her brother. When she was bullied by her classmates in kindergarten, she went to tell Lu Yi about it.
A normal person would think that the brother should stand up for his sister and run to the school to teach the guy who bullied his sister a lesson.
But Lu Yi, this crazy guy, dragged her to practice Taekwondo, saying that as long as she was good at it, no one would be able to bully her.
Then, he taught her personally, facing his "sister", a five-year-old beginner, without showing any mercy, causing her to break a rib and stay in the hospital for three months.
During those three months, the only one who took care of her was the maid Aunt Liang, and Qin Mu would come to accompany her after class every day.
The culprit never showed up, not even a word of greeting.
When she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, when she saw Lu Yi again, he still did not feel any guilt. He justified his opinion that she was too weak and suggested that she learn Sanda first next time.
When she was ten years old, Lu Yi had just reached adulthood. As soon as he got his driver's license, he pushed her into the passenger seat and took her for a speeding race on Akina Mountain, where she almost fell off a cliff.
When she was twelve years old and still not fully grown, Lu Yi used her as a bet with a group of second-generation rich people who also loved playing with cars, saying that she would not dare to dodge even if a car hit her if she stood at the finish line.
She naturally refused, so Lu Yi tied her to a chair and placed her at the finish line as a toy. He drove his sports car straight towards her at 140 miles per hour, and only turned the steering wheel at the last second.
There were many similar incidents, and Meng Anran almost died at Lu Yi's hands every time.
Who would dare to want a second brother like this?
"The Lu family is a hell. I escaped from it, so I naturally won't go with them." Meng Anran curled the corners of her lips and smiled, with no emotion in her eyes.
Meng Yushu was silent. Although he couldn't see through his sister's thoughts, he guessed that her life in those years was not as glamorous as they imagined.
It was almost time to go out. Meng Anran changed her clothes, put on her small backpack, and accompanied Meng Yushu to interview for a short play role.
Sitting on the bus, Meng Anran looked at the boy next to her and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how long has it been since you bought new clothes?"
Jeans didn't matter; they looked better with each wash, and as long as the waistband fit and the legs weren't too short, they would last for six or seven years. But his white shirt had turned a bit yellow, and the collar had warped.
She remembered that when she first arrived at Meng's house, she had seen Meng Yushu's wardrobe. Apart from the school uniform, there were only three or four sets of casual clothes, and they were all very old.
The shoes were even worse: a pair of yellowed white canvas shoes and a pair of peeling sneakers, both from a well-known national brand, costing sixty or seventy yuan a pair.
Meng Anran didn't understand. There were seven or eight pairs of beautiful shoes worth more than 500 yuan under Lu Qingcheng's bed. Why was Meng Yushu reluctant to buy herself two new pairs?
We are a family, but our consumption levels are so different. Is it really worth it to pamper my younger sister to this extent?
Meng Yushu smiled awkwardly, "I... don't really care about dressing up. Girls are different. They should dress up beautifully at their most youthful and attractive age. So most of the money I earned from working went to buy clothes and skincare products for Lu Qingcheng. I didn't save anything for myself."
He once felt that it was worth it to work hard and save money to buy clothes and shoes for his sister.
Now... I can only say that he has no regrets.
Even though Lu Qingcheng heartlessly ignored all his efforts, at least he was true to his conscience and could honestly say that he had never treated Lu Qingcheng unfairly.
Meng Anran pursed her lips and sighed secretly.
The Meng family are really the strangest people she has ever met. Did Lu Qingcheng save their lives in the previous life?
Despite the endless complaints and beatings over the past two years, they were still willing to work hard and never complain.
What's the point?
"Brother, clothes make the man, and dressing up makes the horse. Appearances make up 30% of a person's appearance, and dressing up makes up 70%. How can you go out without some decent clothes? It might have been fine if you were working as a waiter in a restaurant, but now you're auditioning for a role in a skit. You can't dress so plainly that people will look down on you. Dress nicely, and your temperament will stand out more, which will give you a chance to get a better role."
Meng Anran gave them some earnest advice and looked at the time. They had gone out after lunch, so it was still early and they had plenty of time.
"When we get to that place, we'll buy some new clothes. We need to dress respectably for an interview at a big company."
Born into a prominent family, Meng Anran has been well versed in social interpersonal communication since childhood.
Everyone is comparing themselves, comparing themselves to others. A person who dresses simply and casually, and a person who dresses neatly and tidy, will naturally appear more energetic and courageous in the eyes of others.
If your clothes are old and worn, when you encounter a big occasion and meet other glamorous people, you will feel inferior and be defeated without a fight.
Therefore, even if you don’t have anything substantial, you still have to maintain your appearance and not lose your momentum.
"Okay, you will be responsible for helping me choose later." Meng Yushu smiled gently and felt warm in her heart.
In the past, Lu Qingcheng hadn't even said a word of thanks to him, let alone caring about him like this. Only Meng Anran would notice these details, remind him, and help him.
I took the bus for five stops and then took the subway for half an hour before I arrived at my destination.
First, I went to a brand clothing store and bought a decent set of clothes for Meng Yushu to change into.
As a result, as soon as I entered the clothing store, before I had time to pick out a suit that suited my eyes, a sarcastic voice came from the door.
"Hey! Isn't this Miss Lu? She used to wear high-end clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars, but now she's wearing tattered clothes worth only a few hundred dollars. I almost didn't recognize her."
Meng Anran turned around and saw the girl with curly hair. A smile curved her red lips and she retorted bluntly, "Miss Tang, can you only recognize people by their clothes now? It seems your eye disease is quite serious. You should go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible, otherwise your brain will be damaged as well."
