Chapter 411 Overestimating One's Abilities
Seeing that Chi Wenyan didn't say anything, he thought he was shocked by his "deep affection" and "past", and proudly took out a check from his pocket and threw it on the hood in front of Chi Wenyan.
"Here's 100,000 yuan," Lu Liang raised his chin slightly and said in a condescending tone, "Take the money, get out of here, and don't show up in front of Wanwan again. This little money should be enough for you to spend for a while, right? Don't be ungrateful."
Chi Wenyan's gaze finally shifted from the fluttering check on the hood to Lu Liang's smug face. His eyes were cold, as if icy, and he looked down at him with a condescending gaze that made Lu Liang's heart skip a beat.
"One hundred thousand?" Chi Wenyan's thin lips curled up in a faint arc, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, instead revealing a chilling coldness. He stretched out his bony fingers and elegantly twisted the check, his movements slow and measured, as if he were picking up something dirty.
Lu Liang felt a little uneasy when he looked at her, but thinking of his status as the "official boyfriend", he forced himself to maintain his composure: "Why? Not enough? Well, people like you who make a living by your looks have a big appetite."
"Heh." Chi Wenyan chuckled softly, his voice was low and pleasant, but it made Lu Liang feel a chill on his back. He flicked his finger, and the check fell lightly back to Lu Liang's feet. "This little money,"
Chi Wenyan's tone was calm, but every word was filled with great force. "It's not even enough to fill up my car with gas."
Lu Liang's face flushed instantly, as if he'd been slapped hard, burning with pain. One hundred thousand yuan, the savings he'd painstakingly saved for so long, was barely enough to fill his car with gas in this man's eyes?
"You..." Lu Liang was furious and pointed at Chi Wenyan, "Don't be so arrogant! You are just relying on Wanwan..."
"Relying on Wanwan?" Chi Wenyan interrupted him and took a step forward.
It was clearly just a simple gesture, but the invisible pressure made Lu Liang subconsciously step back. "I'm warning you," Chi Wenyan said, his voice low and undeniable, "you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to fabricate stories about my relationship with Wanwan again, or appear in front of her and become an eyesore..."
He paused, his eyes slashing across Lu Liang like a sharp blade, "It's easier to crush you to death than to crush an ant."
A cold fear instantly gripped Lu Liang's heart. He looked at the man in front of him. Deep in his calm eyes was a terrifying control.
Only then did he realize that this man was more than just a pretty boy who made a living by his looks!
Just then, a familiar female voice sounded.
"Wen Yan?"
Ji Wan had just returned from lunch when he saw Chi Wenyan leaning against the car, and Lu Liang, whose face was turning pale and blue across from him, and... a check dropped at Lu Liang's feet?
Lu Liang's body stiffened, and almost instantly, the fear and anger on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a tearful and extremely aggrieved look.
He turned around abruptly and looked at Ji Wan, his eyes slightly red, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor: "Wan Wan, you're back."
He bent down to pick up the check on the ground and held it tightly in his hand, as if he had been greatly insulted, but was trying hard not to get angry.
"I...I just wanted to explain to this gentleman what happened when we were in college, so that he wouldn't misunderstand. I didn't expect it."
He lowered his head, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his voice choked. "I didn't expect this gentleman to react so strongly. He said I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and that he could tell me to get out with just a flick of his finger."
Lu Liang's "green tea" remarks put himself in the position of a weak person, implying that Chi Wenyan was relying on Ji Wan's power to bully him, his old classmate.
Ji Wan looked at Lu Liang's sudden performance, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a trace of obvious confusion and puzzlement flashed across her eyes.
She really couldn't understand why Lu Liang was doing this. In college?
Apart from being classmates, she and Lu Liang had no other connections, let alone any feelings for each other.
The woman didn't even bother to give Lu Liang a glance. She walked right past him and went to Chi Wenyan. She naturally put her arm around his arm, her tone filled with a hint of anger and dependence.
"Didn't I tell you to wait in the car? It's out in the sun."
The chill around Chi Wenyan dissipated instantly, and the coldness in his eyes turned into gentle warmth. He held Ji Wan's hand with his backhand and whispered, "I just arrived and want to get some fresh air."
The two of them interacted as if no one was around, in a natural and intimate manner, leaving Lu Liang aside.
Ji Wan didn't even ask what happened, nor did he look at Lu Liang. He just said to Chi Wenyan, "Let's go. We have a meeting this afternoon."
"Okay." Chi Wenyan responded and opened the car door for her.
Watching the two of them get into the car lovingly, the Bach engine let out a low roar and sped away. Lu Liang stood stiffly in place, tightly clutching the check that Chi Wenyan had thrown on the ground. His face was pale and the grievance in his eyes had long been replaced by burning jealousy and resentment.
What a shame and humiliation!
His carefully planned affection and demonstration seemed like a joke in front of this man!
And Ji Wan's attitude hurt him deeply.
She doesn't care at all! She doesn't even bother to ask!
This Chi Wenyan is definitely not a simple person.
Lu Liang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and humiliation in his heart. It seemed that relying on so-called classmate friendship and belittling rivals wouldn't work if he wanted to cling to Ji Wan's powerful support.
This woman was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, and the man beside her was even tougher.
But it didn't matter; he had plenty of patience. A Phoenix Man, on his way to success, always had to go through some twists and turns. He took a long-term view; he refused to believe he wouldn't find an opportunity! He watched the car drive away with a sinister look, a determined sneer curling his lips.
Ji Group, top floor office.
Lu Liang sat on the leather executive chair that originally belonged to the vice president and was now almost his exclusive chair, tapping the smooth tabletop rhythmically with his fingers.
Opposite, several department managers sat upright, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, not daring to breathe.
"Who made the promotion plan for the property in the west of the city? How dare you submit something of this quality?" Lu Liang's voice was not loud, but it carried a heart-pounding pressure. He casually threw a document on the table, and the papers scattered with a rustling sound.
The manager in charge of the project turned pale instantly and stood up tremblingly: "Boss Lu, it's my fault for being careless. I will immediately..."
"Right away?" Lu Liang sneered, his eyes sharp as a knife. "The market is changing rapidly. By the time you get there, the opportunity will be gone! I'll give you one day. If you can't come up with a satisfactory solution, go to the HR department yourself."
"Yes, yes, I will." The manager nodded and bowed, cold sweat soaking the back of his shirt.
