Li Mengyao lifted her head, and then, she saw Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was still the same Lu Yuan, dressed in shabby and indifferent clothes, still the same hanger-on in Li Mengyao’s heart.
“Why, could it be you?” Li Mengyao only felt a heavenly and unreal feeling at this moment, and as for embarrassment and disgrace, she didn’t even have time to care for a moment.
“You’re the owner of this place?” Li Mengyao was so overwhelmed by the shock that she looked a little confused at this point.
At a glance, she seemed quite calm, but her heart, in fact, was already torn apart by the shock of this reality.
“That’s right, I’m the owner of this place, and I own the whole shop here.”
Since it had come to this point, there was no way for Lu Yuan to hide it even if he wanted to.
After all, he and Li Mengyao had already fought, and this encounter, unlike before, when there was room for manoeuvre, this time, there was no way to hide.
The whole shop, all of it, was his!
Li Mengyao could hardly believe it, to be able to open such a shop in Zhongguo City, one million was simply not enough to look at ah.
So, what he had won was not one million at all?
Could it be, five million? Ten million?
“I didn’t win the lottery, not even a penny.”
Lu Yuan could see what Li Mengyao was thinking, and at this point in time, there was no point in using winning the lottery to cover it up.
“You’re a rich second generation?”
Li Mengyao finally, realised a fact that she least expected.
“Sort of.” Lu Yuan added modestly.
Then, Li Mengyao heard another answer she least expected to hear.
“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”
Li Mengyao stood up and pointed at Lu Yuan’s nose, “How can you be a rich second generation? It’s not like I don’t know, you dress so shabbily, eat so frugally and use cheap goods, how can you be a rich second generation, I, Li Mengyao, will never look away from people, never, never ……”
By the end of her sentence, she had sat down on the floor as if she had gone a bit crazy.
Yes, what’s the use of saying more? The shop was already plainly owned by someone else, and there was no longer any point in continuing to deceive yourself.
“Peach, tally up the value of these clothes and return all the money to her.” Lu Yuan said.
“Boss, this, don’t you want to count the depreciation fee?”
“No need.”
Lu Yuan waved his hand, since Li Mengyao was like this, he wouldn’t bother with it, so he would just give her a refund.
Of course, although this was a help to Li Mengyao, Lu Yuan would definitely not lend her money.
This woman, perhaps after this lesson, would be more honest and down-to-earth.
Little Peach was also very sharp, and soon, the tally was done.
“Twelve pieces of clothes, worth a total of thirty-nine thousand eight hundred, this is the money refunded to you, please take it.”
Xiao Tao held the money in both hands and handed it over to Li Mengyao who was sitting dishevelled on the floor with confused eyes.
“Get lost!”
Li Mengyao suddenly knocked off the money held in Xiaotao’s hands, scattering the banknotes all over the floor in a flurry.
Li Mengyao gave Lu Yuan a fierce glare and ran out of the shop.
Xiaotao was frozen.
Lu Yuan was also a bit stunned, he really didn’t expect Li Mengyao to have a day when she didn’t love money.
But before he could slow down, the doorway was dark and Li Mengyao was surprisingly back, seemingly with a general sense of anger, Li Mengyao quickly picked up the money that had fallen on the ground and then grabbed the door.
Looking at Li Mengyao’s leaving figure, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. To be honest, it was hard to guess what was going through Li Mengyao’s mind at this moment.
“Boss, how come you seem to know her?” Xiao Tao asked as she curiously came over.
“Oh, she’s my ex-girlfriend.” Lu Yuan said casually.
“Ah?” Xiao Tao was stunned, remembering what Li Mengyao had just said, she couldn’t help but say, “Scum!”
Yes, women were like that, ever so bitter towards scum men, even daring to rebuke their bosses to their faces.
Lu Yuan didn’t care too much about what Xiao Tao said, so he left as well.
Forget it, look at the time it’s almost noon, let’s go find Zhou Yun and have dinner together.
Li Mengyao, back at school, was still having trouble accepting the fact that he was a rich kid.
Moreover, at the Dongli bar, he obviously had money, but he didn’t lend it to me!
Li Mengyao hated Lu Yuan for being heartless and heartless, and she also hated herself for not having eyes.
However, she never hated herself for being heartless and unrighteous. Not only did she not hate, she naturally never felt heartless and unrighteous either.
“Classmate, can you vote for us? There’s a gift for you.”
Suddenly, by the roadside, two students called out to Li Mengyao.
It turned out that a short video competition was being held in the school, and it was now the audition stage, and the number of votes naturally took up a large part of the weight.
So, some people came out to canvass for votes.
As they spoke, they took out a lip balm from Mansuraytan and gave it to Li Mengyao as a small gift.
A lip balm costs twenty to thirty dollars.
Although Li Mengyao was in a blocked mood and had a desire to hit and curse people and vent her anger, her money-hungry personality made her accept the lip balm and started to follow the public number of the short video competition under the guidance of the two students, then registered and went in.
“Well, number 67 is our video entry, there are ratings below, from one to five, students please help make a five!” The two students clicked on the video, after all, they had made it themselves, and seeing that Li Mengyao was also pretty, they couldn’t help but recommend it again, “Classmate, take a look, this video we made is about various heartwarming moments in school, it’s very moving.”
Li Mengyao was in the way and casually pulled the progress bar.
Then, she was stunned and couldn’t help but stare straight at the image.
“How about it, classmate, isn’t it very touching?” The two boys, seeing Li Mengyao staring straight at the picture, were instantly pleased with themselves, yes, this beauty must have been touched by her own work, maybe there was a chance to get to know each other.
“Classmate, this is not a posed shot oh, this is the two of us from a month ago, wandering around the school, specifically just to find those touching real scenes, filmed.”
“This is a couple, the girl’s too tired to walk, and the boy went to carry her, they both wear the kind of very cheap clothes, it can be seen that the family is very poor, but you see them together warm each other, support each other, you see the girl on the boy’s back, that sweet expression… …”
The two boys were still gushing and proudly explaining to Li Mengyao from the side.
However, none of them noticed Li Mengyao’s face that gradually turned iron blue.
It was because the two people in the video were none other than Lu Yuan and Zhou Yun.
It was exactly that time, when Lu Yuan took Zhou Yun to the villa for the first time, Zhou Yun stopped to rest because she had searched hard for a house the day before, and her legs got weak when she was halfway there, then Lu Yuan carried her to the villa, which was secretly filmed by these two people.
“How about it, classmate moved, right? Give us a five, by the way, how about, stay a > “Oh, no need.”
Li Mengyao finished and left.
It was only after watching Li Mengyao walk away that the two boys withdrew their smitten gazes and returned to their video pages.
“Holy Sh*t, one point? Sh*t, what the hell!”
At this moment, Li Mengyao was walking around the campus as if she was a lonely ghost, her mind was confused, when she was inside the shop, because she was facing Lu Yuan at that time, she still maintained an indefinable composure because of her face, but now that she was by herself, that boundless remorse and deep chagrin, as if it was sea water, surrounded her, so that she was not allowed to breathe.
Especially just now, seeing that image of Lu Yuan carrying Zhou Yun on his back was as if a heavy hammer had struck Li Mengyao’s chest.
The pain and stuffiness, as well as a kind of cynicism, was as if ten thousand ants were tearing at her heart, and her heart was as thick and heavy as a dark cloud before a rainstorm.
Unknowingly, Li Mengyao found herself in the school woods.
She couldn’t help but remember that it was here that she had first established her relationship with Lu Yuan.
It occurred to her that she had had many boyfriends, and Lu Yuan, perhaps, was the one who was the most sincere and attentive to her among all these people.
Moreover, Lu Yuan had never wanted anything from her.
Yes, that time, maybe it was because I felt embarrassed to be dating for so long and Lu Yuan had done so much for me, or maybe it was to reward Lu Yuan.
It was here that she took his hand and gently reached in through her own clothes.
Now, Li Mengyao could still clearly feel the trembling of Lu Yuan’s hand at that time, and the twitching of his throat knot.
She still remembered the infinite love and obedience in Lu Yuan’s gaze for herself after the touch.
And he, the one who used to be the most sincere to himself and had been treated as a hangman by himself, was, surprisingly, a rich second generation?
Li Mengyao suddenly fell to her knees, she gently closed her eyes, tears had slipped down her face.
