Xu Xuejiao's mood suddenly turned sour.
She didn't know why.
Lu Chengwen said he liked Jiang Shihan. Even though she knew he was talking nonsense, she was still very unhappy.
She didn't think too deeply about why.
"Lu Chengwen, you're spending over ten billion to chase a girl? That's quite the investment! At this price, you could pick any big star you want. Is a secretary really worth it?"
Lu Chengwen roared, "Just save the person! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"You're yelling at me!"
"Huh?" Lu Chengwen was taken aback and quickly softened his tone. "Did I, did I yell at you? No, right? Haha, no, no. Oh, it's… cough cough, the echo is loud here. My dear sister, my sweet sister, my good sister, Xuejiao sister is the best, the cutest, the most compassionate, and the kindest. If you help me save them, I'll give you all my shares, all of them. The pharmaceutical company will be yours, the Xu family's, from now on. I won't bother you again. Please, help me, I beg you, I beg you..."
"Fine, I'll take a look. After I take a bath and get my hair done, if I'm in a good mood, I'll go."
"Hey, you..."
Beep, beep, beep...
The call ended.
Zhang Shen'er put away her phone and looked at Lu Chengwen with a stern face. "You're really going to save someone?"
"Yes, yes."
Lu Chengwen didn't have the energy to bicker with her.
She really agreed, right? She has no reason to refuse such terms!
She will help, she's not the type to refuse to help someone in need. Please, please, you must save them!
Zhang Shen'er had heard Lu Chengwen's thoughts before and thought she was hallucinating.
This time, she heard them clearly again. Looking at Lu Chengwen, her gaze became serious.
She asked tentatively, "Young Master Lu spends quite a bit to chase girls. That girl must be incredibly beautiful, right?"
"Huh? Oh, yes."
Lu Chengwen's mind wasn't on her at all.
He turned and sat wearily on the bench, leaning against the wall.
I can't keep this up. Tomorrow I need to make that Long Aotian appear quickly. I can't keep cleaning up his messes.
I ruined Leng Qingqiu's deal, and I saved Jiang Shihan's mother... Who knows what will happen next.
Over ten billion, I don't care about it at all. At most, I'll get a severe beating from my dad and become a joke in the entire Northern Kingdom.
When you have too many lice, you're not afraid of being bitten. My reputation is already in the gutter anyway. The most important thing is... the person must be saved!
Zhang Shen'er felt that this matter was becoming strange and interesting.
How could she hear this guy's thoughts so clearly?
Zhang Shen'er didn't leave. She leaned against the railing. "How is it? Tell me."
"Huh? How is what?"
"What's going on?"
Lu Chengwen smiled helplessly. "Chasing girls! I've done so many absurd things, one more won't hurt."
"Lu Chengwen, don't think you can fool me. Although you've done a lot of wicked and absurd things, you're never ambiguous when it comes to money. You would never do a losing deal like spending over ten billion to chase a girl. Unless that person is Leng Qingqiu or Chen Mengyun. If you, Lu Chengwen, spend ten billion, you'll definitely earn back thirty billion, or even more."
"What business is it of yours if I earn a few hundred million?"
Lu Chengwen wasn't going to humor this woman.
The call was finished, and he didn't need anything from her. Besides, she was Long Aotian's woman, so why should he be nice to her?
"Oh? So Xu Xuejiao will help save someone and earn over ten billion. Then I shouldn't have made that call for you for free, right?"
Lu Chengwen stood up and walked back to the railing, looking at Zhang Shen'er without any fear.
"Of course, it can't be for free. A few hours after I get out, I'll buy you a set of adult toys. When you're lonely at home, you can think of my majestic figure and pleasure yourself to the heavens with your own hands, how about that?"
Zhang Shen'er's face immediately turned ashen with anger, and she gritted her teeth. "Lu Chengwen!"
"I know, I know, I'm scum."
Zhang Shen'er escorted Lu Chengwen to the men's holding cell.
Two hours later, Zhang Shen'er walked to the cell door and was utterly astonished.
The three thugs inside were kneeling on the ground in a line.
One was shining Lu Chengwen's shoes, while the other two sat up straight. All three had bruised and swollen faces.
Lu Chengwen sat on a chair, leaning against the wall, his arm behind his head, whistling.
Sometimes, Lu Chengwen truly couldn't understand.
A person like him should have been a pillar of society, a local economic leader, a successful person in everyone's eyes.
Why did he become the villain? And a simping villain at that?
With assets worth hundreds of billions and a higher education, I've climbed snow-capped mountains, parachuted from ten thousand meters, and participated in the Running of the Bulls in Spain. I'm fluent in four languages, hold dual master's degrees, and am skilled in boxing, swimming, skiing, and basketball.
I'm tall and handsome. While I might not compare to those heavily made-up pretty boys, when I put on a high-end suit, I exude a proper tough-guy aura and leadership presence.
So why am I so pathetic, insisting on being a lapdog, mindlessly fighting Long Aotian for a woman, only to be killed by him in the end?
Even if I'm horny and enjoy romance, I could just be like Chen Moqun!
With a snap of my fingers, alluring little vixen-like girls would throw themselves at me. I could park a supercar anywhere in any CBD and beautiful young girls would proactively ask for my WeChat.
Why do I have to be like a brainless idiot, fixated on those few main female characters?
Zhang Shen'er looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, furious.
"Lu Chengwen, did you hit them?"
"Disappointed?" Lu Chengwen stood up, walked to the railing, and smiled, "You locked me here, didn't you hope they would beat me up?"

Zhang Shen'er had indeed thought that. She wouldn't feel good unless this guy suffered a bit.
But how could these three guys be so useless? Weren't they usually arrogant and overbearing? Three of them couldn't even beat one?
Zhang Shen'er shouted, "Did he hit you?"
Lu Chengwen turned around and looked at the three of them, "Tell me, did I hit you?"
The three quickly waved their hands, "No, no, no, we bumped into ourselves."
"Yes, we bumped into ourselves."
"Young Master Lu is a very good person, civilized and polite. He shouldn't be in prison. Officers, did you make a mistake? Such a good person can't be arrested!"
Lu Chengwen looked smugly at Zhang Shen'er, his eyes seeming to say, "Did you hear that?"
Zhang Shen'er, fuming, said to the duty officer, "Open the cell door and let him out."
Lu Chengwen picked up his suit jacket and draped it over his arm, walking out with pride.
He walked into the lobby and was very surprised.
The one who came to bail him out was Leng Qingqiu!
Leng Qingqiu had just finished signing when she turned around and saw Lu Chengwen. She smiled slightly, "Are you okay?"
"Why is it you?"
"Can't it be me?"
Zhang Shen'er's expression turned extremely unpleasant. She walked to the reception desk and slammed the file onto the counter, "Sign it, let's go."
Lu Chengwen signed.
Zhang Shen'er looked at Leng Qingqiu, "Leng Qingqiu, aren't you extremely annoyed by him? Why are you bailing him out?"
"I'm happy to."
Zhang Shen'er let out a cold snort, "As expected, capitalists are heartless."
"Watch what you say. Police officers must also abide by the law."
"But you know he's scum."
"I know." Leng Qingqiu said indifferently, "But I don't recall any law stating that scum should be shot and imprisoned. He and Jiao Shiheng are suspected of mutual assault. Jiao Shiheng has already signed a letter of understanding, and I've paid the 2,000 yuan fine. What you need to do is release him immediately."
Just as Zhang Shen'er was about to get angry, she smiled again, "I heard you two are getting engaged next month? Congratulations, rich people finally end up together."
Leng Qingqiu knew she was deliberately trying to provoke her, but she just smiled slightly, "Thank you. I heard your family is forcing you to go on blind dates again? This time the guy should be a normal person, right?"
Sparks instantly flew between the two women's eyes.
Leng Qingqiu had been harassed by Lu Chengwen for as long as three years; it was common knowledge throughout Xuecheng City.
And Zhang Shen'er had been constantly forced into blind dates, encountering a string of strange men; many people in their social circle knew about it.
Both had their sore spots, and neither was willing to back down.
Lu Chengwen chuckled inwardly.
[Women fighting is always a grand spectacle! Absolutely brilliant!]
[But I need to be careful. These two girls are fierce, one more than the other. I shouldn't get caught in the crossfire.]
[Speaking of which, it's just that you two are hostile to each other now. Once Long Aotian takes you both into his harem, heh, you'll be good sisters then.]
Lu Chengwen stood behind them, chuckling to himself.
Suddenly, he felt his hair stand on end. He looked up and saw both women glaring at him furiously.
Lu Chengwen quickly turned and walked away, muttering, "I need to go home. My mom is calling me for dinner."
In the car.
Leng Qingqiu sat in her seat, facing Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen looked like a primary school student.
[Damn it, what kind of crappy business car is this? The seats are all facing each other! Where am I supposed to look?]
[Leng Qingqiu's legs are so beautiful. With those black stockings, she's absolutely intoxicating. I could stare at these legs for a year, no, three years, no! Forever!]
[Too bad the skirt is a bit of a hindrance. If only I could lift it a little higher, spread her legs a bit wider…]
Leng Qingqiu, her face stern, stared coldly at Lu Chengwen. Hearing his lewd thoughts about her, she suddenly spread her legs wide, nearly making Lu Chengwen ejaculate.
"Are they nice to look at?" Leng Qingqiu asked, her expression unreadable, her face cold.
"Th-they're okay…"
Leng Qingqiu resettled herself. "Speak. How did you know Jiao Shiheng was problematic? What's your information source? Did you plant a mole in my company?"
Lu Chengwen's eyes widened, and he began to feign surprise. "He's really problematic? See, I told you today wasn't suitable for signing the contract. Luckily, I stepped in just in time, I'm telling you…"
"Lu Chengwen, do you dare to tell me one honest word?"
"Everything I'm saying is the truth."
Lu Chengwen remained stubborn. Even if he racked his brain, he would never realize that not a single one of his inner thoughts could be hidden. This leading lady of his heard them all clearly.
Leng Qingqiu said, "Why do you suddenly not want to marry me?"
Lu Chengwen stammered, "I suddenly feel like I still like Xu Xuejiao…"
"Xu Xuejiao isn't even your girlfriend. Don't try that nonsense with me."
Lu Chengwen sighed. "The truth is, I don't like you."
"Then what were the past three years?"
"Consider it my bad luck."
"And your sweet talk, your considerate inquiries? What were they?"
"Consider it your bad luck."
"Then why did you help me today? You were willing to go to jail to help me! And back then, did you really want to kiss me?"
Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and suddenly laughed. "Sister, you're really sick. The issue between me and Jiao Shiheng is personal. With you, it's a clean break."
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen. "Lu Chengwen, don't regret saying that."
"Lu Chengwen never regrets his actions."
"I'm warning you, I hold grudges. The way you've treated me today means you'll never have a chance with me again."
"Haha, perfect! From now on, we'll just give each other a symbolic greeting when we meet. If I say one more word to you, I'm a grandson!"
Leng Qingqiu was heartbroken.
Her nose suddenly felt a sting, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Get out."
She said calmly, "Get out of the car."
