Chapter 85: Sincerity, yet wasted

Qin Mu's hand suddenly stopped and he looked up at Meng Anran. Seeing her relaxed expression, he became more and more flustered. "Anran, what are you talking about? Who am I engaged to?"

"This is Song Wanqiu, the second daughter of the Song family of Lihai Group." Meng Anran took out a thin seahorse fleece long-sleeved shirt and folded it while walking towards Qin Mu. She put the folded clothes in the suitcase, looked up at him, and smiled lightly, "I went to visit my uncle the day before yesterday."

When she arrived at the hospital, Song Chunlai, chairman of the Lihai Group, and Song Xu, president, were both there. She happened to hear the Song family father and son discussing a marriage between the two families with Qin Hua.

Qin Hua meant that marriage is always a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words, so they could make a marriage contract first, and then let Qin Mu and Song Wanqiu slowly develop their feelings.

After she went in, the father and son of the Song family left. Qin Hua talked to her a lot, but in the end, the meaning of his words was nothing more than asking her to be sensible and leave Qin Mu on her own initiative.

She originally thought that Qin Mu was kept in the dark, but now looking at his reaction, it seemed that he had known about it for a long time.

Qin Mu was completely panicked. He held Meng Anran's hand tightly, trying desperately to explain but not knowing where to start. "An Xiaoran, I have no intention of getting engaged to Song Wanqiu. You know you are the only one in my heart."

I know it, but how much is sincerity worth in the world of fame and fortune like Beijing?

Meng Anran sighed secretly and pulled her hand out of his palm. Her expression was calm without any sadness, and even her tone was colder than ever before: "Uncle is right, you and I are not a good match. I am not worthy of you."

The cold words were like an icicle piercing Qin Mu's heart, causing him so much pain that he couldn't breathe. He grabbed Meng Anran's wrist, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Baby, believe me, I won't marry into the Song family. The only person I want to marry is you. No matter what my father says to you, no matter what he thinks, I only want you."

Meng Anran closed her eyes in annoyance and sighed, then said lightly, "Qin Mu, you are not everything in my life. I won't hold a grudge against you for this. Go back, I have to pack my bags."

During the seventeen years she lived in the Lu family, she understood that there were too many things in this circle that were beyond her control, and she had made many choices that were beyond her control, but she believed that Qin Mu would be an exception.

But she forgot that Qin Mu might also have things that were beyond his control, and by then, she would be the one to be sacrificed.

She thought that maybe Qin Mu didn't know that Qin Hua had arranged an engagement with the Song family, so she still believed in Qin Mu these two days. Even when she mentioned this matter just now, she was still waiting for Qin Mu to give her an explanation.

It turns out that he knew... He had known it for a long time, but he had always kept it from her.

Is it because he can't bring himself to explain, or does he treat her like a dodder that can be trampled on at will and cannot survive without him?

"Baby, please don't leave me..." Qin Mu tightened his arms around Meng Anran's waist, wishing he could embed her into his body. "I will cry, I really will cry."

Meng Anran let him hold her because she knew she was no match for Qin Mu's strength, but her heart was also cold and hard. "I'm going to be late. Go ahead and don't waste my time."

Although it was clearly about study tour, Qin Mu heard another meaning.

He found it very strange. With An Xiaoran's personality, it was impossible for her to be influenced by a few words from others. She had a lot of assets in her hands, was cool and confident, so how could she suddenly say that she was not worthy of him?

Besides, they grew up together, have a deep relationship, and understand and trust each other well enough. How could they be easily provoked?

Something must have happened that he didn't know about.

Qin Mu let go of Meng Anran slightly, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, "Baby, there must be some misunderstanding here. You go to study first, be careful on the road, I will go and figure things out, and I will give you a satisfactory answer when you come back."

Meng Anran was silent for a moment and hummed lightly.

Qin Mu finally smiled, rubbed Meng Anran's head, got up and left.

Meng Anran was the only one left in the huge cloakroom. She sighed in frustration and continued packing her luggage.

Lu Heng was right. Once the news of the Qin and Song marriage became public, she would become a laughing stock in the entire Beijing circle.

She was not worried at first, but the engagement happened after she and Qin Mu confirmed their relationship, so now she really became the abandoned person.

Qin Hua also took advantage of this and persuaded her to take the initiative to break up with Qin Mu, which would save face for everyone.

It's a pity that she chose to believe Qin Mu and would not turn back until she hit a wall.

After packing her luggage, Meng Anran pushed the heavy suitcase down the stairs and then struggled to put it into the trunk of the car.

Driving her supercar, she headed to Shenghua.

I received a call from Lu Heng on the way.

"Break up?" The person on the other end didn't even say hello, but just said these two words.

Meng Anran smiled contemptuously, "You are quite well-informed."

"I thought you were going to cry, but from the sound of it you don't seem that sad."

It’s not that she is sad. Love has never been everything in Meng Anran’s life. She has always been able to let go, but she will definitely be a little disappointed.

I gave my heart, but it was all in vain.

"Did you call me specifically to mock me?" Meng Anran asked coldly.

Lu Heng had long been accustomed to her ruthless attitude and asked casually, "I'll ask you again, do you want to come with me? Otherwise, once the news of the Qin and Song families' engagement spreads, it will be seen as a desperate escape if you leave."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu. I, Meng Anran, have never been a dodder that depends on anyone. I don't need to rely on getting married to prove my worth."

Lu Heng rarely smiled, with a hint of appreciation, "She is worthy of being my sister, Lu Heng."

"Not anymore." Meng Anran said and hung up the phone.

Dozens of luxury cars gathered on the playground of Shenghua Middle School. Those who knew that the school was organizing a study tour might think it was some kind of high-end business summit, while those who didn’t would think it was.

The most surprising thing was that Lu Qingcheng did not come here today in the Lu family's Lincoln, but came in Duan Jingyao's Land Rover.

When the two got off the car, one was wearing a satin long skirt and the other was wearing a satin shirt. They looked quite a match standing together.

The driver took out two suitcases from the trunk, and Duan Jingyao naturally took Lu Qingcheng's suitcase as well.

Lu Qingcheng glanced at him shyly and thanked him in a low voice.

Liu Zhi's lips twitched as she watched, "It's been so long since the New Year, why is Lu Qingcheng still in heat?"

Ming Jing glanced at Liu Zhi and said slowly, "You had the same expression when you saw Brother Yu Shu."

Is this a personal attack?
