Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
She used her trump card.
The Lu family's wealth is enormous; revealing the exact amount would make many people resent the rich.
Having talked with Lu Mingyan for so many years, Jiang Hanyan was well aware of how much money her fiancé's family had.
But the fact that she dared to say she didn't want a single penny already shows her courage.
She thought this promise would move the old man, but to her surprise, he became even more impatient: "Young lady, I don't want to speak harshly to you, but others may have spoiled you over the years. I can see right through what you're thinking."
"Even if you don't want the Lu family's assets, Mingyan will not treat you unfairly. Once you become his wife, you have plenty of ways to get Lu Mingyan to give you assets. You can even sign another contract privately."
“These tricks are old news to us. Mingyan, ask her to leave. I don’t care how you handle it. A woman who likes to play tricks and has a lot of crooked thoughts is not someone our Lu family can afford.”
The old man said something harsh, but he did it on purpose for Jiang Hanyan to hear.
Jiang Hanyan was so angry that she trembled all over.
That's what she thought, but when others see through it and say it out loud, it takes on a different meaning.
Lu Mingyan's eyes were also losing their warmth.
Tonight was already chaotic enough; he didn't want to clean up the mess a stupid woman had made for him.
"Han Yan, stop fooling around. I'll have someone take you home."
Lu Mingyan's eyes clearly showed his disdain for her.
Jiang Hanyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, she finally realized that all the tricks she had played in the entertainment industry were nothing in front of truly shrewd people.
It's easy to guess that from the moment she entered the entertainment industry, countless people protected her. The Jiang family was wealthy and powerful, and she had a very capable fiancé, so her path to becoming a movie queen was naturally smooth.
She didn't rise from humble beginnings; she's never suffered any hardship. She thinks she's clever, but do you think others will see it that way?
She overestimated herself.
Jiang Hanyan stared blankly at her former fiancé, a nameless hatred suddenly reaching its peak in her heart.
Being kicked out like a stray dog is an incredibly severe blow to a proud yet insecure person.
Watching Jiang Hanyan walk out with the servants, the old man added, "Tomorrow you should go to the Jiang family and make it clear to them that your preferred partner is not Jiang Hanyan, but Jiang Tian, and that your engagement is null and void."
Lu Mingyan replied, "Okay, Grandpa."
Jiang Hanyan stumbled.
Having just watched a great show, Jiang Tian was still full of enthusiasm when she left.
Lu Mingyan and Chen Zizhuo followed behind her.
When Chen Zizhuo learned that their plan had been exposed, he didn't show any particular surprise on his face.
The old master of the Lu family has always been quite capable, so it's not surprising that he saw through it all.
Seeing that Lu Mingyan was in a bad mood, Chen Zizhuo did not linger. He gave Jiang Tian a wink, said goodbye, and left.
"Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Lu Mingyan remained composed.
Even though he had just been a complete loser in his confrontation with his grandfather.
"Thanks." Jiang Tian got into the car.
When they arrived near the production crew's location, Lu Mingyan stopped the car and slowly said, "I can't marry you, and I hope you understand that. Everything that follows is an act. I will be good to you, but I also hope you know your limits."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell your grandfather these things?"
Lu Mingyan's face remained expressionless: "What's the point of telling him? He won't care."
That old man only liked others to act according to his wishes.
The more Lu Mingyan resists, the happier he might be to force him to obey his orders.
