Chapter 208 The Meng family despises the poor and loves the rich?
Haicheng, the roadshow for the new movie "Flowers Along the Way".
Fans held light boards and banners and lined up in long queues under the guidance of security personnel, with whispers mixed with excited screams.
Scalpers were selling high-priced tickets in the corner, and fans who failed to get tickets were still looking around desperately.
Suddenly, the crowd began to stir.
The black business car slowly stopped, and the director and leading actors got out one after another. The flash lights instantly turned into a silver-white rainstorm, and the fans' cheers almost blew the roof off.
The heroine was smiling and greeting everyone in front, while Meng Yushu was walking behind, occasionally signing autographs for one or two overly enthusiastic fans.
Entering the theater, the host spoke loudly to control the situation, but the sound of the microphone was drowned out by the cheers.
Meng Yushu curled her lips calmly and put her fingers on her lips to signal her fans to calm down.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The host breathed a sigh of relief and began today's process.
Lu Qingcheng stood in the crowd, her fingertips pinching into her palms.
She looked at Meng Yushu, who was shining brightly on the stage, watched him accept the host's interview with a gentle smile, and watched him being madly pursued by fans.
She should have had a share in all of this!
"elder brother--"
Her voice was trembling with tears, but it clearly penetrated the entire theater.
The whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Meng Yushu's gaze swept over, and the moment he saw her, his pupils shrank slightly.
"Brother, you really... don't want me anymore?"
Her eyes were red, tears were falling at the right time, and her whole body was shaky, as if she would fall down at any time.
The audience instantly exploded with discussion.
"Who is it?"
"Wait, she calls Meng Yushu brother?"
"I remember now! Didn't the Lu family have an incident with a real and fake daughter five years ago? She is the real daughter of the Lu family, Lu Qingcheng!"
"What's going on? Didn't she abandon the Meng family who raised her for seventeen years for the sake of the Lu family's wealth?"
This is exactly the effect Lu Qingcheng wanted.
She knew all too well the power of public opinion.
Five years ago, when she left the Meng family, everyone scolded her for being snobbish and ungrateful.
But now, she wants everyone to know - it was not her who abandoned the Meng family, but the Meng family who abandoned her!
Lu Qingcheng choked up, as if trying to suppress her grievances, and said softly, "I know that Sister An Ran is better than me. She grew up in the Lu family and knows so many powerful people. She can bring more benefits to the Meng family. I can't do anything and will only drag you down..."
"But brother..." She raised her eyes, tears welling up in them, like a pitiful little deer in the woods, "I really want to go home..."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Fuck, that's a lot of information!"
"So it was the Meng family who sent their daughter, whom they had raised for seventeen years, away for profit?"
Reporters immediately sensed big news, cameras flashed wildly, and Weibo's trending searches exploded instantly.
#Meng family despises the poor and loves the rich, abandoning their adopted daughter#
#Meng Yushu is cold-blooded and ruthless#
Meng Yushu's expression changed. The gentle and elegant smile disappeared completely, and was replaced by a frozen and cold gaze.
He didn't expect Lu Qingcheng to do this.
It was clearly she who couldn't wait to return to the Lu family and spread the word everywhere that "the Meng family is a poor and destitute family."
But now, she actually turned black into white and portrayed herself as a poor person abandoned by the Meng family?
What's even more terrifying is that she succeeded.
At Meng Anran’s birthday party some time ago, everyone witnessed her excellence, and the Meng family is indeed thriving because of Meng Anran’s commercial value.
At this moment, coupled with Lu Qingcheng's words, in the eyes of outsiders, isn't it that the Meng family "scorns the poor and loves the rich" and abandons their love for raising their children?
Meng Yushu looked at the back of the crowd, where his agent Pang Rijia was standing with his arms folded, the diamond watch under his suit jacket gleaming coldly.
She tapped her watch lightly, signaling Meng Yushu to clarify the matter as soon as possible and not let the situation drag on until the end of the roadshow.
In the few seconds of his silence, public opinion had completely turned to Lu Qingcheng.
"Isn't the Meng family too cruel? After all, they raised their daughter for more than ten years, and just because she's not as useful as their own daughter, they throw her away?"
"Lu Qingcheng is so pitiful..."
Lu Qingcheng lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
There is no definite evidence as to who abandoned whom back then. The Meng family cannot provide any evidence to refute the allegations, so they have to be swayed by public opinion.
The Meng family now has only two choices -
Or, admit that he "abandoned" her and was nailed to the pillar of shame by public opinion.
Or, accept her back home!
…
At the same time, in Ruiming Group, Meng Anran, who was working diligently, quickly received the news.
"Mr. An, Lu Qingcheng went to the roadshow to cause trouble. Now the public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable to Young Master Meng. Aren't you going to deal with it?" Xiao Li held the tablet and looked at the person in front of the desk who was expressionless and focused on his work.
I feel like I'm in a situation where "even if the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is."
Without even looking up, Meng Anran said softly, "If they can't even handle such a small matter and want me to take care of it, then they will be of no value to me."
Xiao Li choked, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
This is your brother, he's your family, can he be measured by value?!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xiao Li standing there motionless. Meng Anran glanced over and asked, "Anything else?"
"No more." Xiao Li shook his head and walked out.
The heavy wooden door of the office was closed. Meng Anran closed the folder and used the computer to check the current trends on the Internet.
Suddenly laughed.
Lu Qingcheng is smart occasionally, but after all, she is just a chess piece on the chessboard, not the chess player outside the chessboard.
…
At the roadshow.
Meng Yushu walked down the stage step by step under the condemning gazes of the crowd and stopped in front of Lu Qingcheng.
He adjusted the cuffs of his coat, and suddenly a very gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qingcheng, do you still remember what you said when you were seven years old?" His clear voice spread throughout the entire theater through the microphone.
Lu Qingcheng's face changed slightly. How could she remember what happened so many years ago?
Meng Yushu took out his cell phone and sent a few WeChat messages.
The next second, the big screen suddenly switched to a video.
In the picture, Lu Qingcheng is only a few years old. In a luxuriously decorated villa, she is holding a raccoon doll in her arms and says to the camera with a smile: "I love the doll my brother gave me! I will hold it in my arms every night when I sleep!"
A gentle voice came from outside the camera, sounding like Su Wanman's: "You have so many new dolls, do you still like this little raccoon?"
"Of course!" Xiao Qingcheng smiled like a flower, looking very cute, "I love the little raccoon the most, just like I love my brother the most!"
Meng Yushu slid his slender fingers across the phone screen and played another video.
This time, it was not an exquisite and magnificent big villa, but a crowded and dilapidated small house.
Lu Qingcheng turned her back to the camera and slammed the raccoon doll on the bed to the ground, cursing, "What poor bastards! Who cares about them? This shabby house isn't even as good as the garage we used to have! When I return to the Lu family, I won't have to live with this pile of junk anymore!"
There was an uproar at the scene, and Lu Qingcheng's face turned pale and blue.
At this moment, the door of the theater was suddenly pushed open, and a young girl in a suspender skirt and high heels walked in, followed by several photographers carrying professional equipment.
She walked up to Lu Qingcheng and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Qingcheng, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
