Chapter 76: Zebra's Brain
Lu Qingcheng's pride completely collapsed. She didn't dare to open her eyes, hoping that everything was an illusion.
How is it possible... How could Meng Anran be so rich?!
She is obviously just a fake rich girl who was kicked out of the house, a bankrupt pauper!
When she returns to the Meng family, she should live the hard life she used to live!
She should ride on a crowded bus full of sweat, wear rags worth one or two hundred yuan, and live in a filthy, dilapidated house. This is how she deserves to live!
Instead, she is the center of attention, owns so many shares and properties, and everyone calls her "Miss"!
Liu Zhi made no secret of her disdain for Lu Qingcheng, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "Lu Qingcheng, do you really think we call An Ran Miss because she's the daughter of the Lu family? To tell you the truth, the words 'Lu family daughter' are only treasured by you. To An Ran, they're just a burden. Without the Lu family, she can do many things she wanted to do but couldn't before, but without the Lu family, you're nothing."
The ridicule was probably the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lu Qingcheng was almost insane, staring at Liu Zhi with bloodshot eyes, "Shut up! I'm the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and your Liu family is just a small family. Is it your turn to bark like a dog here?!"
Bang!
The crisp and loud sound stunned Lu Qingcheng.
She covered her face and stared at Meng Anran in disbelief, "You bitch, how dare you hit me?!"
Meng Anran shook his hands, his face stern and his voice indifferent: "Who allowed you to speak rudely to my friends in my territory?"
Lu Qingcheng gnashed her teeth and said, "Do you believe that the Lu family can bankrupt the Meng family? Then we can bankrupt you! Kneel down right now and kowtow to me and apologize!"
Bang!
Meng Anran slapped Lu Qingcheng again. Facing a shrew like her, she didn't even want to pretend to be a lady. Her cold eyes looked like she was looking at a dead person.
"Look at you, you're so chatty and clueless. I know the Lu family's situation better than you do. You don't really think anyone in the Lu family would care about a mere tool, do you? I advise you to keep your tail between your legs and don't mess with me anymore. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can continue to be the daughter of a wealthy family."
It was a warning and also a kind advice, but Meng Anran's words sounded like a provocation to Lu Qingcheng.
She didn't believe that her parents and two brothers would drive her away for an outsider like Meng Anran.
"Meng Anran, what are you so arrogant about? All your current businesses were invested with the Lu family's money, so they should be considered as the Lu family's property!"
"You're too naive." Meng Anran laughed contemptuously, as if she had never met such a fool. "All the property is under my name. What qualifications do you have to say that these are all Lu family's things?"
"When you invested, you were still in the Lu family. That meant you were using the Lu family's money, so naturally all the assets belonged to the Lu family!"
"Look at your zebra head, you are so logical. In our country, there is something called law, and there is a law called property law. These assets are my private property under my name. They have nothing to do with the Lu family, and they have nothing to do with you."
There was a hint of pride in Meng Anran's expression. She never liked to argue verbally, but this time she suddenly felt that it was quite satisfying to be able to slap someone in the face with just a few words.
It's almost time for the show to end.
She beckoned her finger at the manager, who stepped forward.
"Put her on the hotel's blacklist and put up a notice at the door. From now on, dogs and Lu Qingcheng are not allowed to enter."
"yes."
"Oh no..." Meng Anran thought about it and felt that something was wrong. "The dog is innocent. Only she is not allowed to enter."
It was obvious that Lu Qingcheng was worse than a dog. The manager almost couldn't help laughing. He responded and quickly left.
The naked humiliation made Lu Qingcheng blush and she ran away with red eyes.
Duan Jingyao looked thoughtfully at the girl running past him, said a simple goodbye to Meng Anran, and chased after her.
After watching the two figures disappear at the door, Liu Zhi leaned closer to Meng Anran, "Is there something wrong with Duan Jingyao? Even after such an ugly situation, he still wants to comfort Lu Qingcheng?"
Didn't he just seduce Meng Anran? He didn't even talk to Lu Qingcheng at the dinner.
Now that Meng Anran has slapped Lu Qingcheng in the face, he should have stood firmer, so why did he suddenly change sides?
Meng Anran snorted coldly, "From the very beginning, his target was not me."
"What do you mean?" Liu Zhi didn't understand. Could it be that Duan Jingyao would like Lu Qingcheng, that useless idiot?
Duan Jingyao always ranks second in the grade in every exam, so he doesn't look like an idiot, does he?
There were too many twists and turns in there, and Meng Anran couldn't explain it for a while. "Anyway, stay away from him from now on. This guy is not a pushover."
He is very scheming and cunning, and you will be easily drawn into the chess game he controls if you are not careful.
Throughout the dinner, she seemed to be chatting with other people, but in fact she was observing Duan Jingyao, and found that he often pretended to be casually observing Lu Qingcheng's reaction.
Including the fact that he deliberately showed seduction to her just now, it was purely to make her hate him and make Lu Qingcheng jealous and hate her even more.
It can be seen that Duan Jingyao cares about Lu Qingcheng, and she has nothing to do with this game of chess. She was just pulled in by Duan Jingyao to be used as a gun.
As for what Duan Jingyao was up to, she hadn't figured it out yet.
…
Duan Jingyao caught up with Lu Qingcheng at the fountain in front of the hotel.
"Ms. Lu!" He grabbed Lu Qingcheng's wrist, but was thrown away.
"Why did you follow me? Do you want to continue laughing at me?!" Lu Qingcheng burst into tears, and the makeup on her face was smudged into a mess, looking extremely ugly.
"Of course not. I didn't expect Meng Anran to be so extreme in her words and actions." Duan Jingyao lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, as if a little disappointed. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, "Don't cry. It would be a pity to let such beautiful eyes be swollen from crying."
Lu Qingcheng stared at the handkerchief in a daze. She had just made such an embarrassing scene in there, with everyone laughing at her and making fun of her. She didn't expect that Duan Jingyao would come to comfort her.
She raised her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, hinting at grievance, "Don't you think I'm stubborn?"
"I think you're right. Meng Anran has been occupying your parents and brother for over 17 years, robbing you of your family and your wealthy life. Anyone would feel resentful. But she went too far. Not only does she feel no guilt towards you, she even publicly pressured you to embarrass you. She's even more ruthless than I imagined."
As he spoke, Duan Jingyao took a step closer to Lu Qingcheng and gently wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.
He slowed down his tone and continued, "So, you are not wrong, and there is no need to shed tears for the mistakes of others."
