Chapter 87 Public opinion will force him to admit it
"What do you mean?" Liu Ke looked at Meng Anran in horror, and hesitantly wiped his hand across his neck.
"You're overthinking it. I'm a law-abiding citizen."
Meng Anran put the documents into her bag and said nonchalantly, "Your brother manages most of the Liu family's assets, and your brother is currently trying to take over an entertainment company. Your parents are asking you to marry Wang Cun just to help their two sons. If all this is of no benefit to you, why obey them? If you don't want to be controlled by your family, you'll lose this family."
"But... I'm not like you. You have your own business and millions of savings, so you can leave the Lu family so freely. I have nothing and rely on my family for survival. If I leave the Liu family, where can I go? How can I make a living?"
Liu Ke sighed heavily. She never thought that there would be a day when she would pour out her heart to Meng Anran, the person she once hated the most.
Now she doesn't even have a trustworthy person around her. After much thought, it turns out that only Meng Anran's character can make her trust him a little.
She has lived a miserable life for the past eighteen years.
Meng Anran didn't care about Liu Ke's situation. She and Liu Ke had never had any friendship.
She doesn't like to be a living Bodhisattva, she only likes to invest. If it is profitable, she doesn't mind helping Liu Ke.
"I can help you get the management rights of Ai Si, provided that you transfer all your current shares to me. The condition is that I want 15% of Ai Si's shares after the deal is completed."
Liu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up. If she could get Ai Si, the revenue from this brand alone would be enough for her expenses. Even if she disobeyed her parents and ran away from home, she would not have to worry about having no one to rely on for living.
Meng Anran continued, "I'm not afraid that you'll cheat after the deal is done. If I have the ability to help you get it, I also have the means to bankrupt it."
"I won't cheat! As soon as the study tour is over... no, as soon as we get to the hotel, I'll immediately draft the equity grant agreement and guarantee!"
…
Qin Hua's condition was visibly much better than in the previous few days. He looked very healthy and energetic. Both of his hands could move, but he could not lift his arms very well.
The doctor suggested that massaging the muscles more often would help with recovery, so the nurse massaged Qin Hua four or five times a day.
However, Mr. Zhao didn't want to see the unlucky Qin Hua, so he simply moved Tanya to another ward and only gave Tanya acupuncture to avoid feeling chest tightness when seeing Qin Hua.
After leaving Lihuayuan, Qin Mu went directly to the hospital to find his father, intending to find out the whole story. After knowing the cause of the misunderstanding, he would explain it to Meng Anran.
"Dad, Anran came to visit you the day before yesterday. What did you say to her?" Qin Mu said hurriedly, his tone not so good.
"You little brat, are you interrogating me?" Qin Hua was immediately annoyed, but soon calmed down a bit. "It's no big deal if we didn't talk. She knows she's not a good match for you. What does that have to do with me?"
Qin Mu took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with his father, "Did you tell her that I was going to get engaged to Song Wanqiu?"
"I didn't say that."
"If that's not what you said, then why did she suddenly say that I was going to have an engagement party with Song Wanqiu?"
"No, I'm saying you're infatuated with love. What's wrong with Wanqiu? She's beautiful, has excellent grades, is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. She's also from a family of equal status to the Qin family. If you get to know her more, you might develop feelings for her."
"How is An Ran worse than her?"
"An Ran is too career-oriented. She's suitable as a friend and a partner, but not as a wife."
Qin Mu's eyes dimmed in an instant, filled with disappointment, gray as if covered by a layer of fog, "Dad, you've changed a lot."
Qin Hua didn't say this before. He praised Meng Anran for her cleverness and intelligence, and praised her for being decent and generous in her conduct, her versatility and quick wit, and that she was not only an excellent student, but also a good professional.
A strong woman with strength, courage and ambition is more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
But after Meng Anran lost the title of Lu family's daughter, her former strengths have now become flaws in Qin Hua's eyes.
The Qin family is not a wealthy family that has been in business for generations. It has only gradually prospered since the year Qin Mu was born. In just three years, it rose rapidly to become a wealthy family and moved into the wealthy area of Beijing. Now, more than ten years have passed and it is expected to rival the Lu family, which has a century-old foundation.
Money and power can really make people lose themselves. The kind and gentle father at the beginning has turned into an ugly beast who weighs the pros and cons and exchanges his children's marriage for benefits.
"Mumu, the Qin family is the result of the hard work of my parents who have spent most of their lives. In two or three years, when you are more mature, you will understand me."
There was a gleam of light in Qin Hua's eyes. He knew too well how deep the water was in this circle. If you want to climb up, many things will be pushed by circumstances beyond your control.
Qin Mu was in no mood to argue about right and wrong. He asked again, "Did you tell Meng Anran that I was going to get engaged to Song Wanqiu?"
Qin Hua had never imagined being questioned by her son in such a tone and with such eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I swear, I never mentioned this to her. I only said that your statuses were unequal and that being together wouldn't end well, and she left. But that day, the Song family father and son came to visit me, and she ran into them."
Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he turned and left without saying any more words to his father.
An Ran must have seen the Song father and son talking to their father. Maybe Song Xu also said something ambiguous to her, which led to her misunderstanding.
He wants to find Song Xu to find out!
The nurse continued to massage Qin Hua's arm and asked hesitantly, "Boss Qin, I think Mr. Qin really likes Miss An Ran. Aren't you afraid that he will resent you for making an engagement with the Song family without telling him?"
Qin Hua closed his eyes, enjoying the massage, and said nonchalantly, "I'm his father. His hatred for me is only temporary. He'll understand me when he grows up."
"Aren't you afraid that he won't recognize this engagement?"
Qin Hua slowly opened his eyes, "Public opinion will force him to admit it."

During the trip to Tongzhou, Shenghua arranged a dormitory for students in a resort area.
There is a row of wooden villas, with six people in each house and two people sharing one room.
Meng Anran and Liu Zhi chose the double room in the villa, and the other two twin rooms were left for the remaining four people.
He casually pushed the suitcase to the side of the wardrobe and locked the door.
"You go take a shower first. I'll call home to let them know I'm safe." Meng Anran sat down on the double sofa beside the bed with her cell phone in hand.
"Oh my, our eldest daughter has learned to report safety to her family when she goes out now~" Liu Zhi teased while opening the box to look for clothes.
She has short hair, and it only takes her more than half an hour to wash, shower and blow-dry her hair.
When I walked out of the bathroom, I found Meng Anran still sitting there holding her cell phone, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhi asked with concern.
Meng Anran turned her head and looked over expressionlessly, "Nothing, just dealing with a few small bastards."
