Chapter 50 Seeing Zhang Meili's True Colors
"I...that's money you and Mom worked so hard to earn, how can I use it?" Shen Zhuoli squatted on the ground, holding his head, his face full of pain.
"Big brother! We're family, why are you dividing us into yours and mine?" The fourth brother still didn't quite understand the eldest brother's thought process.
Jiang Ruzhen knew why her boss did this. She and Zhang Meili were sworn enemies, and she would never give her boss this money.
The eldest brother himself understood that if he wanted to help Zhang Meili, he could only find a way to make money himself.
That's why he secretly followed the Wang family out to sea without telling her.
"Come on, take me to Zhang Meili." Jiang Ruzhen didn't believe her boss's excuses at all; she was sure Zhang Meili was lying on purpose.
"Mom, please don't go, I beg you, Meili has already had enough to go on!" The eldest son clung to Jiang Ruzhen's leg, refusing to let her go.
"She's having a hard time? She's lying to you, boss! How can you still believe that bitch's nonsense?" Jiang Ruzhen was practically going crazy.
She really wanted to pry open the boss's head to see if it was filled with brain matter or cement.
Lu Mingzheng sighed as he watched the mother and son bickering. Although Jiang Ruzhen was strong and fierce, she had always been a pillar of support for the children.
But as a woman, she had no idea about men's psychology.
Their family actually lacked a father figure, and the children grew up wildly, resulting in some degree of personality flaws.
Like the eldest son, who lost his father at the age of ten, he grew up quickly overnight and became the pillar of the family.
As the eldest brother, he always felt that taking care of the family was his responsibility, and gradually developed a personality of being needed.
But one day, he suddenly discovers that his family members are all making money, and in amounts that are beyond his reach, and he feels lost and melancholy.
He would feel that the world had abandoned him and that he was no longer needed.
Just then, the frail Zhang Meili appeared, and he felt that he was finally able to save her from her suffering, as there was someone who placed all her hopes on him.
He got carried away and became confused.
"Stop arguing, Zhang Meili is at the police station now, I'll take you to see her."
"Police station? Why is she at the police station?" Jiang Ruzhen asked curiously.
"She lay in front of my car this morning trying to stage an accident and extort money from me, so I called the police and had her arrested," Lu Mingzheng replied casually.
Jiang Ruzhen was somewhat suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence? She had just told this guy yesterday to take Zhang Meili in, and today he had gotten her arrested.
Is this guy trying to find something on Zhang Meili so he can dump her later without worrying about any future trouble?
Upon hearing that Zhang Meili had been arrested, Shen Zhuoli stopped trying to stop Jiang Ruzhen, and the whole family went to the police station with Lu Mingzheng.
Zhang Meili was locked in a single room, and Lu Mingzheng stopped Jiang Ruzhen from going in to question Zhang Meili's thoughts face to face.
Lu Mingzheng turned around, patted Shen Zhuoli on the shoulder, and gave him a meaningful look.
“Shen Zhuoli, listen carefully outside. I’m only helping you this once.”
Before anyone could react to what he meant, Lu Mingzheng opened the door and went inside.
"Boss Lu, you've finally arrived. They've kept me locked up all morning. I know I was wrong."
I shouldn't have tried to extort you, please let me go!
Zhang Meili was locked in a dark room for a whole morning without food or water, and the police interrogated her repeatedly, leaving her exhausted.
She couldn't take it anymore. If she had known that rich people were so cunning, she shouldn't have provoked this devil. She regretted it so much she could die.
"Oh, you know you're wrong? What did you do wrong?" Lu Mingzheng swaggered over, pulled up a chair, sat down in front of Zhang Meili, and looked at her with a mocking smile.
Zhang Meili immediately knelt down in front of Lu Mingzheng, tearfully confessing her mistakes.
“I shouldn’t have tried to seduce you just because you’re rich, and I shouldn’t have torn my clothes and pounced on you after you clearly rejected me.”
I even publicly accused you of trying to force yourself on me, making you lose face. And I shouldn't have lay in front of your car to stage an accident and extort a thousand yuan from you.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I'm not human, I'm an animal. Please, have mercy and let me go..."
Zhang Meili recounted her crimes at length, leaving everyone outside speechless.
"I heard you've been spreading rumors that your family owes five hundred yuan in gambling debts, and that you were forced into this situation. Well then, I'll bring your father here to keep you company, since gambling is illegal."
"What nonsense! My father has no money, how could he gamble? The casino owner isn't stupid either, how could he lend a gambler five hundred dollars? He couldn't pay it back even if he were killed."
I made it all up just to gain your sympathy, boss, please don't take it to heart.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuoli's eyes widened in disbelief.
It turned out that she had lied to him about the gambling debts, and he was foolish enough to believe her completely.
Just like my mother said, you can't believe a word this woman says.
And his ex-wife, who was so weak and helpless in front of him, actually went to seduce Uncle Lu.
Uncle Lu rejected her, but she tore her own clothes to frame him and tried to extort a thousand yuan from him.
He felt he had been blind, failing to see Zhang Meili's two-faced and ugly nature.
Hearing these words, Jiang Ruzhen felt a mix of emotions.
She asked Lu Mingzheng to accept Zhang Meili yesterday because she wanted to get rid of this pest completely.
Unexpectedly, despite being so angry, Lu Mingzheng still helped her teach Zhang Meili a lesson in another way today, letting the boss see the true colors of this woman.
She seemed to owe Lu Mingzheng a huge favor.
Everyone thought this was what Lu Mingzheng wanted them to see, but unexpectedly, Lu Mingzheng suddenly changed the subject.
"Okay, now that you know you were wrong, I'm relieved."
Want to go out? If you want to go out, agree to one condition.
"You say so, I'll definitely agree." Zhang Meili answered very readily. She now fully understood the power of this rich man; he could destroy a commoner like her in no time.
She still harbored a fantasy when she came in that she might be able to extort some money from him.
But when she saw Lu Mingzheng with his arm around those important figures, chatting and laughing, she knew she was doomed.
"I want you to be my mistress. I'll give you a thousand yuan a month, and I'll cover all your food and lodging. But I won't marry you. Maybe I'll get tired of you after two or three months and dump you."
"So? Do you agree?" Lu Mingzheng crossed his legs, a wicked smile playing on his lips, looking every bit the spoiled rich kid.
"Really? I do, I do."
It was like finding a new path after a long and difficult journey. Zhang Meili had originally come with the intention of getting close to Lu Mingzheng, but now that he had suddenly taken her in, she was pleasantly surprised.
Lu Mingzheng crossed his legs and used the tip of his shoe to lift Zhang Meili's chin to examine her. Zhang Meili immediately took advantage of the situation and hugged Lu Mingzheng's shoe, rubbing it against her face.
She even wore a shy and timid expression, and let out an indescribable groan.
Shen Zhuoli clenched his fist and peered through the window. When he saw Zhang Meili's fawning expression, he almost threw up the food he had eaten yesterday.
How could Zhang Meili be so disgusting and despicable?
It turns out she wasn't just promiscuous with him; she was promiscuous with any man who gave her money.
Shen Zhuoli squatted down, clutching his stomach, and began to dry heave.
Jiang Ruzhen also glanced at it curiously, and immediately felt a wave of acid reflux in her stomach.
She retracted her earlier thought. What do you mean, she owed Lu Mingzheng a huge favor? She owed him nothing! It was clearly that scoundrel who was happy to do it and was enjoying it immensely.
