Chapter 155 Cooperation
The dazzling sunlight penetrated into the dim room through the gaps in the curtains.
Meng Anran felt sore all over and moved uncomfortably. She slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of phoenix eyes filled with tenderness and love.
The scenes of last night flooded into Meng Anran's mind, and she instantly regained consciousness. She shyly avoided his sight and snuggled into his arms.
Qin Mu was touched by her cuteness, chuckled, and hugged her tighter naturally.
He really wanted to wake up to a scene like this every morning, with his loved one in his arms, quiet and comfortable, peaceful and beautiful.
The sweetheart becomes the one by your side.
"Sleep a little longer?" He touched the back of the girl's head, his movements gentle as if he was protecting a unique treasure in the world.
"What time is it?" Meng Anran asked gloomily.
"Half past ten."
It was already past working hours, and Meng Anran was too lazy to rush over. Anyway, there was no important meeting today, so she could stay in a little longer.
She reached out and hugged Qin Mu's waist, her palms touching his back. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "Does it hurt?"
The impact on my body last night was so great that I felt like a lone sail on the sea, suffering from a storm and huge waves.
She was afraid of scratching him, so she kept grabbing the bed sheet.
But he said, "Don't pull the sheets, hold me, you can tickle me."
Cough... The battle was brutal. His back must have been scratched by her into a subway map, and even his arms were covered with red marks.
Qin Mu smiled softly, "It doesn't hurt, it's you who's hurt."
Meng Anran pushed him away in embarrassment and annoyance, but he hugged her even tighter.
Neither of them continued to sleep, but snuggled quietly in bed, not wanting to separate for a moment.
Until the ringing of the phone interrupted the silence, Qin Mu let go of the person in his arms, turned over, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and handed it to Meng Anran.
It’s Lu Heng calling.
Meng Anran sat up, grabbed the quilt that had slipped off, and answered the phone.
"What's up?"
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong with your throat?"
Meng Anran paused for a moment, then realized that it had nothing to do with Lu Heng, so she didn't feel guilty anymore. "I just woke up, why are you looking for me?"
It wasn't the first day Lu Heng knew Meng Anran. He knew she hadn't just woken up when he heard her voice, and he could roughly guess what had happened to her.
His eyes grew darker, filled with sinister and cruel intent. Even though he knew very well that the person with Meng Anran was Qin Mu, he still found it a little hard to accept.
He was unwilling to accept that the little princess he had painstakingly raised would eventually become someone else's possession.
After a long silence, Meng Anran asked impatiently, "What's going on? I'm hanging up now."
She hated Lu Heng as always. Whenever this violent and bloodthirsty madman showed up, nothing good would happen!
If she continued to associate with people like this, she was afraid that she would be infected and become mentally ill.
Lu Heng gritted his teeth, knowing that there were more important issues to deal with right now, so he got straight to the point and said concisely, "We found Bai Yujin. She's in Meng Rong's villa in Jiangbei."
Meng Anran narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled contemptuously, "Whose IQ is Duan Xi insulting?"
He deliberately tied up Bai Yujin and threw her into the Meng family's property, then pretended to be the Meng family and sent a provocative letter to Lu Zhong.
Who would kidnap someone and hide them in their own home? This was such an obvious frame-up, did Duan Xi treat everyone as fools?
"It's a trap set for Lu Zhong," Lu Heng said calmly. "Whether Lu Zhong believes it or not, he's lost his patience these past two days. Now that he's found Bai Yujin, he'll definitely stop pondering the consequences and go all-in on the Meng family."
Regardless of whether Rui Ming and Yun Duan will take action against the Lu family, Lu Zhong is irrationally throwing dirty water on the Meng family. Once the truth comes to light, the Lu Group will suffer backlash and be spurned by the outside world.
The stock market plummeted, and the day it hit the limit down was the end of the Lu family's century-old foundation.
"Let's cooperate." Lu Heng said.
Meng Anran's eyes flickered slightly. She had thought about this a long time ago, but she didn't expect Lu Heng to take the initiative to propose it. "What do you want to do?"
"News came from Country M that Lu Qingcheng bought a plane ticket for tomorrow."
I had previously suspected that someone was behind Lu Qingcheng's return to the Lu family.
But he didn't come back early or late, and only came back when something happened in the Meng family and Meng Anran was preparing to hold a birthday party.
Combined with Duan Jingyao's phone call that seemed to be a warning, it can be basically confirmed that the person who has been providing information to Lu Qingcheng behind the scenes is Duan Xi.
Of course, Duan Xi couldn't really help Lu Qingcheng. The reason he asked Lu Qingcheng to return to China this time was most likely because he wanted to use Lu Qingcheng to carry out some conspiracy.
Meng Anran looked at the young man beside her thoughtfully, and had some guesses in her mind.
Since it is a cooperation, both parties will want to gain benefits from it.
She asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Conditions?"
"Duan Jingyao."
"make a deal."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu hugged her from behind, rested his chin on Meng Anran's shoulder, and kissed her earlobe.
"Baby, what did you mean by that look you gave me just now?"
For some reason, he felt like a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
I felt panicky.
"It's okay, I'll tell you later." Meng Anran turned her head and kissed his lips, "I'm hungry and want to eat pasta."
Qin Mu rubbed her head and let her go. "Then brush your teeth, wash your face, change your clothes and go downstairs. I'll cook for you."
Even after so many years, Meng Anran is still a young lady who has never done housework or cooked.
Qin Mu has not been so busy at work in the past two years. He occasionally takes time to learn some simple dishes. Sometimes when he comes here to stay, he will cook breakfast and midnight snacks for Meng Anran.
It tastes pretty good, and the fact that he received such sincere praise from the picky lady proves that he is quite talented in this field.
After washing up and changing clothes, Meng Anran still needed to take care of her skin and put on makeup, so Qin Mu went downstairs to cook pasta for her first.
Meng Anran sat in front of the dressing table, applied lotion, waited for her skin to absorb the nutrients, and sent a private message to Duan Jingyao with an electronic invitation to the birthday party.
She thought that the first person to see the invitation letter was probably not Duan Jingyao, but Duan Xi.
If Duan Xi really wanted to cause trouble at the banquet, he would not miss this opportunity and would definitely agree to let Duan Jingyao come to Beijing to attend.
Because compared to Lu Qingcheng, Duan Jingyao is calmer and more trustworthy.
Lu Heng will probably come too. He finally has an excuse to get Duan Jingyao back to Jing City. He will definitely not allow Duan Jingyao to return to Hai City and be monitored and placed under house arrest by Duan Xi.
It seems that the birthday party is very lively.
Now that she had some time, Meng Anran did not forget to call her sister.
She put her phone on the dressing table, turned on the speakerphone, and continued putting on makeup.
The call was answered quickly, and it sounded like she had gotten up very early. "An Ran, why are you calling me?"
"Sister, have you been in a bad mood these past two days?" Meng Anran was not the type to beat around the bush, so she asked directly.
There are some things that are not convenient to say to Xiao Han, but what can't be discussed between sisters?
Meng Anran thinks so.
But after a few seconds of silence, Meng Zhen didn't confess. She just said, "No, I don't have to go to work now. What can I worry about staying at home?"
