Chapter 35: An ungrateful wolf is worse than a dog

Before they could figure out how to help, rescuers appeared.

“Big Brother!”

Lu Qingcheng ran over wearing her school uniform skirt, her carefully curled long hair fluttering in the wind.

She deliberately squeezed in between the two of them and affectionately took Lu Heng's arm: "Brother, why didn't you come to the last family reunion banquet? I have always envied others for having a brother's love..."

Lu Heng dodged sideways, and Lu Qingcheng's hand hung awkwardly in the air.

Meng Anran snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and felt sorry for Meng Yushu.

The sister who had been spoiled for more than ten years now told others that she longed for her brother's love, as if Meng Yushu had wronged her when she was at the Meng family.

Oh, don't worry, you'll have a brother like Lu Heng who will love you in the future.

Meng Anran turned to leave, but Lu Heng grabbed her wrist and asked, "Did I let you go?"

His palms were warm and dry, and the force was so strong that it caused Meng Anran's wrist bones to ache.

She struggled but couldn't get free, so she simply stopped trying: "Master Lu, are you planning to kidnap me in public?"

"Do you think you can just get away with it?" Lu Heng said in a calm voice, staring straight at Meng Anran, as if he was hammering nails into her.

"Otherwise, what do you want to do to me?" Meng Anran curled the corners of her lips. She knew very well how cruel Lu Heng's methods were, but he would not attack her.

Lu Heng said simply: "Get in the car."

Meng Anran raised her eyebrows and said, "Your sister is waiting, so I won't accompany you any longer."

Lu Heng leaned over and lowered his voice in her ear: "Do you need me to ask the driver to pick up the Meng family?"

It was clearly a threat. Meng Anran gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Heng, do you think I will be threatened by you again?"

"Don't force me to knock you out and throw you up there." Lu Heng had lost his patience.

Meng Anran raised the corners of her lips and said with a half-smile, "Go ahead and give it a try. Let's see what kind of trouble Lu Yi can cause you."

In the Lu family, it's not just Meng Anran and the two young masters who are at odds with each other; the two young masters are also irreconcilable.

They have been quarreling since they were young, tripping each other up and letting Meng Anran take the blame.

Later, Meng Anran used Lu Yi to restrain Lu Heng, and used Lu Heng to control Lu Yi, and he never suffered any losses again.

The two of them looked indifferent, but the atmosphere was tense, making others feel a terrible sense of oppression.

Lu Qingcheng stood there with a chill in her heart. She spoke cautiously to break the cold atmosphere: "Brother, let the past be the past. I don't blame An Ran. There's no need for you to embarrass her just to vent my anger..."

Lu Heng didn't even spare Lu Qingcheng a glance, dragging Meng Anran towards the car. The driver had already cleverly opened the back door, and Meng Anran was half-forced into the car.

"Wait!" Lu Qingcheng caught up and grabbed the car door, saying anxiously, "Brother, I know you feel sorry for me living away from home for more than ten years, but you can't act impulsively! After all, An Ran has been your sister for seventeen years."

Lu Heng loosened his collar with one hand and finally looked his blood sister in the eye: "I don't lack sisters."

A hint of joy flashed through Lu Qingcheng's heart. Sure enough, Lu Heng was standing up for her!

Lu Heng changed the subject, his voice was very soft, but every word was as sharp as a knife: "We don't need people like you."

The car door slammed shut, blocking out Lu Qingcheng's pale face.

Meng Anran looked at her through the car window, and suddenly rolled it down with a sweet smile: "By the way, go back and practice your horse riding skills. I won't help you if something like this happens again next time. After all, an ungrateful person is worse than a dog."

The moment the car started, Lu Qingcheng finally broke down and shouted: "Meng Anran! You are just a fake! Why—"

The remaining sound was swallowed by the engine noise.

There was silence in the car.

Lu Heng turned the amber bracelet on his wrist and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Meng Anran looked at the figure in the rearview mirror that was getting smaller and smaller: "Young Master Lu, what you said is as if I had bullied your own sister."

"She is not." Lu Heng said suddenly.

Meng Anran turned to look at him.

"I only have one sister." Lu Heng's eyes fell on her face, then quickly looked away. "Even though she's a heartless little bastard."

Meng Anran sneered: "I only have one brother, his name is Meng Yushu."

Lu Heng's jawline tightened, and after a while he said, "The restaurant is the one you liked before."

"I haven't liked it for a long time." Meng Anran looked at the passing scenery outside the window, and there were no good memories in her mind.

Liu Ke, who was standing not far behind Lu Qingcheng, had a darkening look in his eyes. It seemed that he had made a wrong calculation.

Lu Heng obviously doesn't value his biological sister Lu Qingcheng, and even treats Lu Qingcheng worse than Meng Anran.

If he obeyed Lu Qingcheng's orders, he would definitely not gain any benefit.

In this case, it is not impossible to seek help from a force outside the province.

I heard that Duan Jingyao from Class 3 lost his parents early and lived with his aunt. His aunt was from a wealthy family in Hai City and was unmarried and childless. Maybe Duan Jingyao would inherit the family business in the future.

If I could marry Duan Jingyao, I wouldn't have to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I could be a rich wife with peace of mind, and I could also stay away from the Beijing circle and not be criticized by my family.

He is simply the perfect candidate.

Having made up his mind, Liu Ke curled his lips, stopped looking at the dazed Lu Qingcheng, turned around and left through the back door of the school.

Liuzhi and Mingjing noticed Liu Ke, and they huddled together again, chirping crickets in low voices.

"Since Liu Ke sees no profit in this, is he planning to leave Lu Qingcheng's camp?"

"How much sincerity can there be in our circle? Most people are just playing along for the sake of profit."

"That's right, not like us." Liu Zhi suddenly became proud. In this profit-driven circle, being able to have a few close friends who can be called upon by phone is a great blessing in life.

Ming Jing chuckled and continued, "Didn't Anran's mother open a beauty shop? It looks like it opened today, right over at No. 4 Middle School. Want to check it out?"

Liuzhi's eyes lit up, "Let's go!"
