Lu Chengwen found Chen Moqun.

Chen Moqun was Lu Chengwen's best friend, Chen Mohuan's younger brother, and Chen Mengyun's older brother.

Chen Moqun was not as handsome as Chen Mohuan. He was a textbook deadweight fatso.

The Chen Family's businesses were now managed by Chen Mengyun, but Chen Moqun held the largest share.

In other words, this guy barely did anything serious. All he did every day was drive sports cars, pick up foreign girls, and spend money he could never possibly run out of.

Chen Moqun had plenty of lackeys around him, but basically no friends.

His only friend—the one he considered his sworn brother—was Lu Chengwen.

When Chen Moqun received Lu Chengwen's call, he froze for a moment. The instant he heard Lu Chengwen wanted to have some fun, he got so excited he immediately sent him an address.

It was an upscale private club, where all the girls were "models."

If you could not spend at least a hundred or two hundred thousand in one night here, you would be too embarrassed to even walk in.

That was for ordinary nouveau riche. Whenever Chen Moqun came, if he did not blow a million or two, it meant he was feeling sorry for The Father and saving money for the family.

So, fat as he was, the treatment he received here was absolutely top-tier.

Lu Chengwen was in a foul mood.

It was not as though he had never seen the world. He had been a Villain six times before, so he knew how the rich lived it up. He was no stranger to places like this.

He found that Chen Moqun was bored out of his mind too. He had looked at so many Beauties here that his eyes were practically blurred. He had enjoyed everything there was to enjoy and no longer knew how to entertain himself.

But Chen Moqun was far more lively than Lu Chengwen. He said excitedly, "Sally, Xue'er, and you... what was your name again?"

"Brother, I'm Tiantian!"

"Whatever, whatever. You girls take good care of my big brother. He rarely comes to places like this. If you can make him lose himself in pleasure tonight, hehe, I'll give each of you a hundred-thousand red packet. No upper limit!"

The girls immediately became excited and crowded around Lu Chengwen.

"Young Master Lu, what kind of fun do you like?"

"Young Master Lu, shall we play some games? We have lots of games, and they're all utterly intoxicating!"

Lu Chengwen had come looking for amusement, only to discover that he could not enjoy himself at all.

"You girls quiet down for now. I want to chat with this fat bastard."

The girls obediently moved aside, turned off the music, and whispered among themselves while holding their wineglasses.

"What's wrong?" Chen Moqun asked. "You don't like them? Want another batch?"

"No." Lu Chengwen sighed. "Leng Qingqiu and I are getting engaged. You know that?"

"I know." Chen Moqun snorted. "That Leng Qingqiu... I don't even know what to say about you. What does she have? A figure? A pretty face? Which girl here doesn't have those? Do you know how many Beauties' youth you've wasted over the past three years?"

"And even if you like being a simp, why simp for her? Leng Qingqiu and her awful attitude... what does the Leng Family even have left? Don't they need your Lu Family to keep them alive? And yet she still acts all high and mighty, walking around with that sour face all day. I feel like puking whenever I see her!"

Lu Chengwen glanced around. "We've been throwing money around and having fun in places like this since college. After all these years, you're still playing? Haven't you had enough?"

"I've had more than enough," Chen Moqun said. "But what else can I do? What do I even know how to do? I tried working once, and I took three naps in a single afternoon. My subordinates reported their work to me, and I didn't understand a damn word! I can't do anything else. I only know how to spend money, have fun, and chase girls."

Lu Chengwen looked at him. "What you do isn't chasing girls. Chasing means pursuing them, not just waving your finger after spending money and having them come over."

"So what, I have to be like you? Running after a woman like Leng Qingqiu, who never gives you a pleasant look?"

"At least she comes from a respectable family."

"My sister comes from a respectable family too!" Chen Moqun demanded. "Why did you break up with my sister? Why did you go simp for Leng Qingqiu instead of my sister? My sister was your childhood sweetheart. If you'd spent all the ammunition from these three years on my sister, you'd already be my brother-in-law. I might even be holding my nephew by now!"

Lu Chengwen stared at the shameless bastard. "Do you not have any fucking idea why your sister and I broke up? Wasn't it because you got me drunk, put a few foreign girls in my bed, and let your sister catch me red-handed?"

"I was young and ignorant then. We could've explained it! But what about you? Just because you were the Young Master Lu, you dumped her without a second thought! Seriously, did you ever get my sister? Did you deliberately dump her after getting tired of playing with her?"

Lu Chengwen nearly shouted, "My sister and I were only in High School back then! Fucking High School! I didn't understand anything! After I kissed her cheek once, I couldn't sleep for three days!"

"You were together for three years in college. Did you lose your memory?" Chen Moqun shouted back.

"Wasn't it you who told me I had to practice on other women first? Otherwise, if my skills weren't good enough, your sister would dislike me?"

"Lu Chengwen, say it clearly. The first time, I was the one who said we needed practice. But the second time, you dragged me along and said we had to review the previous lesson, reinforce what we'd learned, and strive to get good results on my sister. Wasn't that you?"

"Damn it! Now you're blaming me?" Lu Chengwen said indignantly. "When that bunny girl was showing off her thighs around the pole, you were fucking kneeling on the floor and crying your eyes out. You said I'd remade your life, and you said you wanted to play like this every day for the rest of your life. Wasn't that you?"

"I was young! I didn't understand anything! You should've stopped me from indulging myself! When I was little, I dreamed of becoming a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut. But you led me into this pit, and now I'm nothing but a joke in the family!"

"Didn't you become a doctor, lawyer, and astronaut?"

At Lu Chengwen's question, Chen Moqun froze, then nodded. "I did. I played a gynecologist for fallen women, a dashing lawyer for sexy female defendants, and a starship captain flirting with female astronauts in a space capsule..."

The two stared at each other for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing together.

Lu Chengwen laughed. "You really are shameless."

Chen Moqun wholeheartedly agreed. "I should become an actor."

Just then, Lu Chengwen's phone rang.

The moment Lu Chengwen saw Leng Qingqiu's name, his expression changed. He immediately shrieked, "Quick, quick, quick! Get the girls over here! Turn the music on! Louder! Everybody, get wild!"

Chen Moqun was completely baffled. "Why are we suddenly getting wild?"

"Less nonsense. It's Leng Qingqiu! Leng Qingqiu is calling! I need to make her stay away from me!"

The moment he heard it was Leng Qingqiu calling, Chen Moqun, a nearly two-hundred-pound fat man, actually jumped straight up and gritted his teeth. "Wild! Get fucking wild!"

That was how the earlier phone call had happened.

Lu Chengwen had thought that once the call ended, the matter would be over.

But less than thirty minutes later, the club manager arrived and leaned close to Lu Chengwen's ear. "Young Master Lu, President Leng is here. She's already in the elevator. Should we... have the girls leave first?"

The manager was good at reading the room and knew the relationships between these people.

Nonsense. Which club in Xue City did not know the personal circumstances of the young masters from the Four Great Families?

They were money trees. They were supreme VIPs!

Their girlfriends' and wives' phone numbers, license plate numbers, tempers, personal connections... they knew everything.

Otherwise, how could they handle groups of women lining up to come to the club and catch them cheating?

But Lu Chengwen did not need them to be so tactful right now. At least, not when it came to Leng Qingqiu.

Thus, when Leng Qingqiu walked in, she saw Lu Chengwen with an arm around two Beauties, eyes closed as he howled:

"Everyone says I'm dashing and unrestrained, an invincible spear-wielding overlord, oh, oh..."

Screech—!

The music came to an abrupt halt.

"Huh? Why'd it stop? I was just about to show off my coloratura tenor!"

Lu Chengwen turned his head. "Well, well, if it isn't my gorgeous fiancée, Leng Qingqiu! Hahaha! Sit, sit! Pick a song and sing!"

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen coldly. "You're certainly living it up."

"Not bad, not bad. Just having some fun. Did you need something from me?"

That one question left Leng Qingqiu speechless.

That was right. For the past three years, he had always been the one to seek her out. When had she ever sought him out?

Leng Qingqiu's lips moved. "Come with me. I have something to ask you."

When it came to Lu Chengwen, Leng Qingqiu had grown accustomed to speaking in that tone.

Deep down, she believed that merely taking the initiative to speak to him was already enough to make him happy.

He would definitely follow her immediately with a cheeky grin, overjoyed, without a word of protest.

But times had changed.

Lu Chengwen laughed. "I'm a man! A true iron-boned man, a proud and gallant young hero! What's wrong with having a few girls around? What! Is! Wrong! Are you unhappy? Are you angry? Fine, let's call off the engagement!"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

The general manager had been ready to step in and mediate at any moment, but this tone was all wrong!

Young Master Lu was giving Leng Qingqiu absolutely no face today, and... it seemed like he was determined to break up with her?

Don't move!

Observe for now.

Lu Chengwen was immensely pleased with himself.

Leng Qingqiu, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you can even put up with this, I'll admit defeat!

Oh, her chest is heaving so hard from anger! She's losing it, right? Furious, right? About to lose her temper, right?

There's a glass of beer right in front of you. Pick it up and splash it in my face, then we can be done with each other.

Leng Qingqiu took a long moment to calm herself, then suddenly smiled.

Leng Qingqiu walked over. One of the girls hurriedly moved aside, and Leng Qingqiu sat beside Lu Chengwen, warmly pressing herself against him. "Oh, why are you getting angry? I was worried about you."

Lu Chengwen was so shocked he felt like exploding on the spot.

And it was not just Lu Chengwen. Even that fat bastard Chen Moqun stood frozen in place. The club manager behind them, who had been prepared to "put out the fire" at any moment, widened his eyes in disbelief. Could this really be that formidable Leng Qingqiu?

Lu Chengwen was frightened by Leng Qingqiu. Held in her arms, his body instinctively curled away from her, though he still stubbornly said, "Y-you... don't think I won't scold you just because you apologized..."

Leng Qingqiu held him close. "Let's not play tonight, okay? I really want to talk to you today."

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and felt like everything had collapsed. All of it.

What are the female leads of This Book doing!?

Xu Xuejiao suddenly had some bizarre "genetic mutation," and that was already enough to give me a headache.

What kind of evil is Leng Qingqiu possessed by today?

What is this supposed to be? I just want to quietly be a Minor Villain and live a few peaceful days. I don't want to get tangled up with big shots like you! Why is that so hard?

Can't we just live our own lives? Wouldn't it be great to never have anything to do with each other? Is it really so hard for everyone to just leave everyone else alone?

Listening to Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts, Leng Qingqiu felt miserable.

Does this guy really want me to roll as far away from him as possible?

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth.

He decided to take a risky gamble!
