Chapter 150 The Simp Stand-in Quits (24)
The Lu family father and son did not disappoint Xia Mingwei's expectations, clearly demonstrating the spirit of "a tree without bark will surely die; a person without shame is invincible."
After hearing his father's "science popularization," Lu Ming quickly changed his mind.
He hadn't expected Li Nianyun to be so cunning. On the surface, she remained silent about his search for a substitute, but then she turned around and took a bite out of the Lu family!
Li Nianyun, what a cruel heart she has!
But isn't that proof that she loves herself?
Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to get their attention?
He claims he's starting a game company to compete with the Lu family. But ultimately, isn't it all just so he can see her a few more times?
It's fortunate that these were Lu Ming's true feelings; otherwise, if Xia Mingwei had heard them, she might have vomited up her dinner from the night before!
Lu Ming nodded solemnly to his father, "Dad, you're right, I've got it all in mind! I'll have a serious talk with Li Nianyun, and if she doesn't show some remorse this time, I won't forgive her easily!"
Hearing this, Mr. Lu patted Lu Ming's shoulder with satisfaction, "You've grown up now. You need to be more restrained and think more about the Lu family! After Li Nianyun marries into the family and gets her hands on the assets, it'll be up to you to decide how anyone can be bullied! At that time, you can do whatever you want outside!"
Xia Mingwei clicked her tongue at Xiao Ba, "See? This father and son are cut from the same cloth, hypocritical and selfish to the core! The woman hasn't even married into the family yet, and they're already thinking about the bride's dowry! If she really marries into the family, won't they take advantage of her family and leave her with nothing?"
With his father's permission, Lu Ming finally dialed Li Nianyun's number.
In the few seconds it took for the call to connect, Lu Ming felt a sense of humiliation.
Lu's father told him to humble himself before Li Nianyun and to take the initiative to reconcile with her. This made him feel like a concubine in the deep palace awaiting the emperor's favor. He hated this subservient feeling!
He secretly vowed that once this matter was resolved, he would make Li Nianyun pay for what she had done today!
The call finally connected, and Li Nianyun's familiar voice came through the receiver.
Lu Ming glanced at his father, suppressed his displeasure, and spoke first: "Nianyun, it's me!"
Li Nianyun sneered inwardly. This Lu Ming really hasn't changed at all; he's as arrogant as ever!
Is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'll hang up now!
Li Nianyun spoke coldly, her words devoid of any emotion. It was as if the person before her was completely unrelated to her, as if the girl who once had Lu Ming in her heart was no longer herself.
Hearing Li Nianyun's words, Lu Ming finally became a little anxious and spoke up to stop her.
"Don't hang up yet, I need to tell you something!"
Li Nianyun curled her lips into a smile, "Why didn't you say so earlier! What's the matter? Just say it!"
Lu Ming wanted to question him, but remembering his father's instructions, his voice softened involuntarily.
"I heard you met with my father today and the two of you discussed the game company you own?"
Li Nianyun frowned. "Yes, is there a problem?"
"It's really nothing! That company has pretty good potential, and their game concept is great; it's a good fit for my company's development. Why don't you let my family have that company? Anyway, your family is in the transportation business, so you don't need these things!"
Lu Ming spoke as if it were a matter of course, as if Li Nianyun was obligated to hand over the game company.
Even before seeing the contact person, Li Nianyun had mentally prepared herself. The reason she answered the call was to see just how shameless Lu Ming could be!
Lu Ming did not disappoint her at all, and even made this shameless behavior sound so justifiable!
"After thinking it over, I've decided that my family should acquire the game company under your name, Nianyun. What do you think of my idea?"
Lu Ming's voice came through the phone again.
Li Nianyun is now beginning to realize that Lu Ming is not only shameless, but also has no moral bottom line! How could she have done such absurd things for a man like him?
"I don't think your suggestion is very good! You want me to hand over such a valuable company for nothing? Let me tell you, no way! Lu Ming, how come I've never realized you were so shameless?"
Lu Ming was taken aback by Li Nianyun's retort. He forced a smile and corrected her, "It's not free! It's for my family to buy it!"
"How much money can your family contribute?"
Lu Ming was stunned by Li Nianyun's question, and he didn't know how to answer it.
Li Nianyun ignored him and continued, "I know what your father is planning. He just wants to reap the benefits of my game company's success! He may be eyeing other people's things, but he still needs my permission as the owner!"
"What do you mean 'other people'? He's my father! Li Nianyun, watch your manners! How can you talk about my father like that? Do you even want to be a part of my family anymore?!"
A sense of satisfaction flashed through Lu Ming's mind as he said these words to Li Nianyun.
With this trump card played, wouldn't Li Nianyun have to obey obediently? If she kept pretending, he might really think she was scared!
"Lu Ming, are you alright? You said he's your father, why force an outsider like me to follow his wishes! As for entering your Lu family, I'm afraid I'm not fortunate enough! You should save the title of Mrs. Lu for someone else who is destined to be your wife in the future!"
After saying this, Li Nianyun hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Because of Lu Ming's previous confidence, he put the phone on speakerphone. Their conversation was completely transparent and reached Lu's father's ears.
When Li Nianyun hung up the phone, Lu's father's face turned extremely ugly.
Lu Ming couldn't believe it either; Li Nianyun had actually hung up on him. And what she said—did she really not want to have anything to do with him anymore?
No, Lu Ming doesn't believe it!
He tried to call again, but found that Li Nianyun had blocked him.
The sound of refusal echoed throughout the living room. This made Mr. Lu, whose face was already pale, even angrier.
It seems that Lu Ming has thoroughly angered the Li family girl this time, showing her no mercy whatsoever!
Looking at Lu Ming with a gloomy expression, Lu's father suddenly recalled the scene at the bar.
She was absolutely certain that Lu Ming must have been philandering and going too far, which was why he had broken the heart of the Li family's daughter!
Otherwise, why would Li Nianyun choose to start a game company to oppose the Lu family?
