Chapter 72 Fan Shengmei's Counterattack-2
Yao Bin's black Land Rover was parked in a dark alley opposite the casino, and the atmosphere inside the car was solemn.
Yao Bin turned around and looked at Fan Shengmei in the back seat.
"Sister Xiaomei, my people are watching. Fan Shengying will be here tonight."
He curled his lips and said, "Your brother is quite impressive. He's only been here a few days and he's already familiar with this place. He's even negotiated the profit share with a few of the 'tavern owners'."
Qu Xiaoxiao crossed her legs and interrupted coldly,
"They've also put several minors in jail. If they get caught this time, they'll get plenty of jail time."
Fan Shengmei stared at the flashing neon lights at the entrance of the casino, her voice calm.
"I knew he couldn't have any money. If he had money, he would definitely come to gamble."
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly came over, blinking her eyes.
"Oh my, our President Meng is really amazing! He's really charming."
She deliberately drawled out her tone, "We on the 22nd floor have been trying so hard to persuade them, but we haven't been able to remove this giant leech. As soon as we heard that they were going to harm Mr. Meng, our Sister Fan couldn't sit still."
She tilted her head and asked innocently, "Why, you're not going to talk to us about family and blood ties anymore? Has your sense of family ethics plummeted to zero in an instant?"
"Xiaoqu!"
Qiu Yingying interrupted hastily, "You can't say that about Sister Fan. She's already feeling bad enough."
Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "She's feeling as bad as you are? You haven't even finished your meal and you have to come join in the fun."
She reached out and poked Qiu Yingying's belly, "Listen, your stomach has been growling all night. Is it a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Yao Bin took out a few boxes of snacks from the front row and threw them over.
"Eat something, we'll probably have to wait a while."
Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up and she immediately pounced on the biscuits.
"Wow! This brand's cheese flavor is amazing!"
"I don't want it."
Qu Xiaoxiao pushed him away in disgust, "If you eat sweets at night, you'll get fat and your face will be swollen the next day. And I have a date with Lao Zhao."
Yao Bin turned around and shouted, "These are all your favorite foods, sugar-free, not sweet. So what if it's swollen? Does that Zhao guy still look down on you if you're swollen?"
"I don't want it if it's not sweet!"
Qu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said, "Our old Zhao said that eating too much at night will make you age quickly."
"whispering sound--"
Yao Bin snorted in frustration, turned around and said nothing more.
Qiu Yingying had already stuffed two biscuits into her mouth and said incoherently,
"Well...if you don't want it, I will. I can eat it all!"
As they were talking, Yao Bin suddenly lowered his voice.
“Here I come!”
Several people immediately held their breath.
Fan Shengying was seen sneaking into the back door of the casino with a few panicked young people.
One of them looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and hadn't even changed out of his school uniform.
"Sister Fan,"
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly became serious, "He's in, have you thought it through?"
Fan Shengmei's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the casino. Her voice was soft but firm.
"I've thought about it. Before, I always felt that he and my parents were my only family. But not anymore."
"I have a family I want to protect."
She took out her cell phone and dialed 110 without hesitation.
"Hello, is this the police station? I want to report a gambling incident."
Her voice was unusually calm. "The address is Warehouse No. 3 of the old steel plant in the west of the city. There's organized gambling and loan sharking going on there, and there are minors involved."
Qu Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and looked at Fan Shengmei quietly.
She has seen Fan Shengmei in many ways——
The way he was pushed to the point of collapse by his family, the way he had to hold on despite being suppressed in the workplace, and even the way he forced himself to smile when being mocked by her, Qu Xiaoxiao.
But Fan Shengmei at this moment was someone she had never seen before.
Firm, calm, and even with a bit of ruthlessness.
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered how she had scolded Fan Shengmei countless times for being indecisive, being bound by so-called "blood ties", and not knowing how to resist when her blood was sucked dry by a family of vampires.
But in reality...
While she was scolding Fan Shengmei, wasn't she also scolding the part of herself that she didn't want to face?
The Qu family also favors boys over girls, and Qu Lianjie is also helpless, but she is luckier than Fan Shengmei——
Her father freed her from financial worries, but the idea that "only sons can inherit the family business" still made her ineligible to take over the Qu family.
She knew better than anyone that the thread of blood and kinship was not so easy to sever.
She never even thought that one day Fan Shengmei would cut it off with her own hands.
It’s love for the right person.
Meng Yanchen's love gave Fan Shengmei new life and armor, giving her the courage to finally say goodbye to her parasite family.
Fan Shengmei is a person who lacks love, so she has been kidnapped by family affection for so many years.
But now, with Meng Yanchen's love, she is finally no longer afraid of losing.
Because she has a way out and a home that truly belongs to her.
"What's wrong?"
Fan Shengmei noticed Qu Xiaoxiao's gaze and turned around to ask.
Qu Xiaoxiao immediately returned to her cynical young lady self and rolled her eyes.
"Nothing, I just feel—"
She dragged out her voice, using a tone of disgust to hide her inner feelings.
"What were you doing earlier? If you had been so decisive earlier, you wouldn't have been sucked blood by those vampires for so many years."
—
Meng Yanchen stood at the entrance of the Ode to Joy residential complex. The early morning sunlight cast a faint shadow on his well-defined profile, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the entrance.
When I went out this morning, Qin Yu handed me the phone——
"Mr. Meng, Chen Ming from Dexian Investment wants to talk to you about something urgent. Do you want to take the call?"
Meng Yanchen hesitated for a moment and answered the phone.
Chen Ming's voice was deliberately respectful.
"Mr. Meng, I have something I must report to you. I know you and Xiao Fan are in a relationship. Even though she won't say it, my eyes are my ruler, and you can't hide it from me."
He smiled flatteringly, "You know, I have always been yours..."
Meng Yanchen interrupted directly, "What's the matter?"
Chen Ming immediately expressed his loyalty, "The head office wants to give the Yunji Pharmaceutical project to Zhao Chuying. This is Xiao Fan's hard work! They also condone the Fan family to come to the company to cause trouble. I really can't stand it..."
He exaggerated the story of Fan Shengying causing a scene in the company and Zhao Chuying snatching the project.
Thinking of this, Meng Yanchen's eyes darkened even more.
In the distance, Yao Bin's black Land Rover was slowly approaching.
The car door opened and Qu Xiaoxiao was the first to jump out, followed by Qiu Yingying and...Fan Shengmei.
"Hey, Mr. Meng~"
Qu Xiaoxiao was sharp-eyed and immediately teased, "You're here so early in the morning to wait for our Sister Fan?"
Meng Yanchen suppressed his surging emotions and looked calm.
"Well, come and see, something's going on."
"Let's go,"
Qu Xiaoxiao blinked, "Do you want to go up and sit down?"
"No."
Meng Yanchen glanced at their tired expressions and said, "You should go back and rest first. I have something to talk to Xiaomei about."
Qiu Yingying immediately grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "I understand, I understand! Let's go now and stop being a light bulb!"
Fan Shengmei smiled and waved goodbye to them, but when she turned around, she was met with Meng Yanchen's gloomy face.
"What's wrong?"
Her heart tightened, "What happened?"
Meng Yanchen's voice was as cold as ice. "Where did you go last night? Is there anything else you know that I don't know?"
