Normally, this should be the most embarrassing moment for Lu Chengwen.

Not only was he rejected by someone he was engaged to, but he also received an order to leave.

If it were Lu Chengwen from before, he would either put on a thick skin and say something nice or if he got angry, he would slam the door and make threats, then thoroughly give the cold shoulder.

But today's Lu Chengwen is not the same as before.

Today's Lu Chengwen neither lacks shame nor flies into a rage.

Today's Lu Chengwen is absolutely pragmatic.

He quickly got up and bowed to each person: "Alright alright, you guys are busy, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first, don't bother sending me off, oh, no one planned to send me off, it's okay it's okay..."

Leng Qingqiu stood up directly and angrily shouted, "Stop!"

Lu Chengwen was already at the door, crying: "What else do you want?"

Leng Qingqiu was almost driven to tears.

Lu Chengwen looked around and suddenly felt a little sorry for Leng Qingqiu.

[This kid is quite pitiful. Grandma doesn't care for her, uncle doesn't love her, and her biological father treats her like a cash cow. Now Long Aotian has made it clear that he wants to swallow the Leng family, she is left alone and destined to be a pawn in Long Aotian's plan.]

[I'm leaving, and she'll have to face her scheming father and the conniving Long Aotian by herself.]

[But I can't do anything about it. This is the matter between your female lead and male lead, I can't interfere as a minor villain!]

Leng Qingqiu's hands were trembling, tears uncontrollably filling her eyes as she stared straight at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen felt both guilty and helpless, "I... really have something to do."

Xu Xuejiao also heard Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts, looking displeased.

"Hey, come on, let's go. They've made it clear they want you to leave, why are you lingering here?"

Leng Qingqiu's lips quivered with grievances as she pleaded softly, "Chengwen... help me."

She felt deeply ashamed.

What right did she have to say such words?

Has she ever treated him kindly during these three years?

No.

Has she ever given him a chance despite his devoted efforts for three years?

No.

Has she ever said anything nice to him despite his three years of humble pleading?

Even more so, no.

Now that she's in trouble, caught between her father and Long Aotian, she shamelessly begs for his help.

This is truly a bolt from the blue!

Why should he offend her father and Long Aotian, two major adversaries, for her sake?

It makes no sense.

But Lu Chengwen is the last straw that Leng Qingqiu can grasp.

Once the five billion funds are injected, Long Tianhao will immediately start adjusting, forcing Leng Qingqiu out and letting Long Aotian take over as the president of Qianfeng Group.

Even if Leng Qingqiu has a hundred billion in cash on hand, the fate of Qianfeng Group is completely irrelevant to her.

Lu Chengwen was deeply shaken.

Inner turmoil raged within him.

According to his initial thoughts, he absolutely wanted to help Leng Qingqiu at this moment.

Just because of his deep feelings for Leng Qingqiu, just because of her pitiful and helpless appearance, his inner impulse was almost uncontrollable.

But the opponent is Long Aotian!

The protagonist!

He's no match for him no matter what!

Xu Xuejiao complained with a pout: "Lu Chengwen, didn't you say you don't like Leng Qingqiu anymore and like me? What's going on now?"

Lu Chengwen thought, why are you everywhere?

He looked seriously at Xu Xuejiao: "I don't like Leng Qingqiu anymore, but I definitely didn't say I like you!"

"Then why do you leer at me when I wear a uniform?"

"I'd leer at any pretty girl in a uniform! I could ogle at girls on my phone all night long, any issues with that?"

"Would those girls on your phone dance in front of you in uniforms?"

Lu Chengwen widened his eyes: "Sis, I'm wealthy! I can have as many of those girls as I want!"

"You... You're comparing me to them?"

"Is that not allowed?!"

Xu Xuejiao was infuriated, wishing she could kick Lu Chengwen to death.

Leng Qingqiu sneered: "Xu Xuejiao, didn't you always dislike Brother Chengwen? What's up lately? Are you starting to cling to my fiancé?"

"Leng Qingqiu, don't be so familiar. Your dad said to cancel the engagement. Brother Chengwen is single now, everyone has a chance."

Leng Qingqiu was livid: "He pursued me for three years! What do you have to compare with me?"

Xu Xuejiao said, "I can wear a uniform, he likes my butt. He really likes girls in uniforms, right, Brother Chengwen?"

Lu Chengwen awkwardly couldn't find words to respond: "Y-you... could you watch your words?"

"Is my uniform today nice?"

"Is that the point?"

"Nonsense, Brother Chengwen likes stockings. Every time I wear stockings, he drools. Isn't that right, Brother Chengwen?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Qingqiu, why are you like this? Be calm..."

Xu Xuejiao continued, "I've never had a boyfriend before, still a virgin. Brother Chengwen likes innocent big-breasted lolitas, right, Brother Chengwen?"

Lu Chengwen felt like banging his head: "Could you... could you not speak so loudly..."

Leng Qingqiu said, "Coincidentally, I've been with him for these years and still a virgin. And you didn't know, little girl, cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness. Brother Chengwen has seen and tasted everything, your charm can only last for a while, isn't that right, Brother Chengwen?"

Lu Chengwen covered his face: "Stop it, can you both maintain some dignity?"

Xu Xuejiao said, "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by Brother Chengwen's appearance, in fact, he's a pervert, he likes playing all sorts of role-playing games. I can be both sweet and salty, he even said I'm highly playable and can be done in countless ways, isn't that right, Brother Chengwen?"

Lu Chengwen looked at her in surprise: "Sis, when did I say that!?"

Leng Qingqiu chuckled, "Some games require a pair of long legs to play properly, he said my legs can be played with for a lifetime..."

Lu Chengwen went crazy: "Stop the car, stop it! I want to get off, I want to die!"

The car stopped, and the driver sweating profusely, looked back at Lu Chengwen, almost wanting to kick him to death.

The two girls got out of the car, still sulking, ignoring each other.

Lu Chengwen had just stepped forward to climb the steps when Xu Xuejiao hooked her arm around Lu Chengwen's and defiantly glanced at Leng Qingqiu: "Hmph."

Leng Qingqiu hooked her arm around Lu Chengwen's other arm, and coldly hummed: "Hmph."

Lu Chengwen felt like he was being escorted by two police officers, nervously saying: "Can't you two stop this? Let go of me, okay? I was wrong! From now on, I won't meddle in your business, let's have a drink and swear never to associate with each other again!"

The two girls shouted together: "She drinks first!"

Over there, Long Autian also got out of the car, seeing this scene, his face directly turned green.

Lu Chengwen felt his hair standing on end.

【No! This is really seeking death, I've got to run!】

Lu Chengwen turned around to run, but as soon as he turned, he almost collided with a big dark figure.

Both of them froze, the other party was very surprised, pointing at Lu Chengwen: "Mr... Mr. Lu!?"

Lu Chengwen widened his eyes.

【It's over! Iron Lump Wang!】

Lu Chengwen turned his head and saw Long Autian.

【Long Autian in front, Iron Lump Wang behind!】

【I'm done for!】
