Chapter 205 The Childhood Sweetheart’s Determination
Lu Chengwen took a shower, put on his underwear and bathrobe, and walked out.
In the living room, a group of girls were still chatting.
Lu Chengwen sat down on the sofa: "Comfortable. Hey? Miss Shener, you haven't left yet?"
Zhang Shener blushed: "I stepped on you just now, I want to apologize to you."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Actually, it didn't hurt at all."
Zhang Shener smiled awkwardly: "And... about today's matter, I owe you a favor."
"Well, I like to hear that, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen coldly: "Lu Chengwen, I'm going to bite you to death?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Why are you so nervous, this is Zhang Shener, do you think it's you? She won't fall for someone like me."
Xu Xuejiao said angrily: "What do you mean? I'm throwing myself at you?"
"Isn't it?"
"You..." Xu Xuejiao said: "Sister Shener, you see, this guy is a scoundrel!"
Zhang Shener thought to herself, none of you should talk about the other, I think you are all sick.
The three most beautiful and richest women in Xuecheng are hanging around a scumbag, it's too outrageous.
Lu Chengwen asked Xu Xuejiao: "How is Xuenin?"
"She's awake. She wanted to see you as soon as she woke up, I asked someone to appease her. She needs to rest."
Zhang Shener stood up: "Okay, I've apologized, I'm leaving."
Xu Xuejiao said: "I'll see you off."
The two stood in the hallway.
Xu Xuejiao said: "Sister Shener."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xuejiao asked vigilantly: "Do you like Brother Chengwen?"
Zhang Shener's eyes widened: "How is that possible!?"
"Really not?"
Zhang Shener felt it was unbelievable!
You people are really speechless!
What's so good about Lu Chengwen that I would like him? It's a weird myth that you, Xu Xuejiao, actually fell in love with Lu Chengwen, okay?
Why are the people and things I met today so outrageous!?
Zhang Shener said with a straight face: "Xuejiao, our two families have a good relationship, and I treat you like my own sister. But you can't talk nonsense, it's your freedom who you like, I have no right to interfere. But please don't impose your own thoughts on me."
"Lu Chengwen is the kind of person I look down on, hate, loathe, the most... I don't even know what to say about him."
"Anyway! I, Zhang Shener, would never like him! I would rather choose Xia Tounan than Lu Chengwen."
Xu Xuejiao smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't get excited! I'm just confirming. If you say so, then I'm much more relaxed."
Zhang Shener thought to herself, are you playing the bottom line logic with me!?
You're sure I'm going to fight you for a man, is that what you mean by shutting me up in advance?
You look down on people too much, don't you!?
"Xuejiao, I really don't understand. Chen Mengyun has been hanging out with Lu Chengwen since she was a child, I can understand that they have feelings; Leng Qingqiu... was pestered by Lu Chengwen for three years, and reluctantly accepted Lu Chengwen after he kept pestering her, although it's outrageous, I can accept it. But you... what are you after? What's so good about Lu Chengwen? Didn't you always hate him before?"
"Hahaha!" Xu Xuejiao said with a smile: "Some people, some things, you can't judge by their appearance. Although Brother Chengwen looks like a big jerk on the surface, actually... forget it, I won't tell you, otherwise I will have another competitor, it's too troublesome."
"Tch! You guys are really... I will definitely not like Lu Chengwen! Please rest assured about this."
Xu Xuejiao shook her head: "I'm not very relieved. Sister Shener, if you don't like him, try to avoid contact with him as much as possible. This person is very bad, you might suffer in the end."
Zhang Shener's eyes widened: "Me!? Contact him!? Am I sick!? Xu Xuejiao, you... really are... I'm leaving, call me if you need anything."
Zhang Shener left angrily.
Xu Xuejiao looked at her back with a blank expression.
The premonition... is very strong.
The more a woman hates Brother Chengwen, the more likely she is to fall for him in the end.
At this time, a person beside her grinned and said: "President... President Xu."
"Huh? Xia Tounan, you're still here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm not... I just want to confirm the contract with you! And... Mr. Lu, I just... it was all a misunderstanding, I want to apologize to him in person."
Xu Xuejiao said coldly: "Just find a vice president to talk about your contract."
Xia Tounan was taken aback: "Aren't you the vice president? I've talked to the minister of the investment department, and he said that your consent and signature are required."
"Do you see me working now?"
"Huh?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "I'm fighting for a man! I'm busy! It's annoying."
Inside the house.
Lu Chengwen, Chen Mengyun, and Leng Qingqiu were discussing matters in the living room.
Xu Xuejiao came in and saw that several people were looking at the map of Chengwen District.
Leng Qingqiu's bright eyes, like stars, stared straight at Lu Chengwen.
"How is it?"
Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin: "A 101-story skyscraper? In Xuecheng? Do we really need this thing in our small border town?"
Leng Qingqiu said: "There will be a big project on the border of the Northern Kingdom next year. The state is currently planning to open up the Tumen River. Once the Tumen River opens up a wharf, the entire economy of the Northern Kingdom will be revitalized."
"And here, here, here, and here..."
Leng Qingqiu pointed at the map: "All the main roads will converge into a network, and our wharf can directly open a canal to connect with the Tumen River."
Leng Qingqiu put down her pen: "At that time, Xuecheng will be the most important transportation, trade, cultural, political... hub city in the Northern Kingdom besides the provincial capital."
"At that time, a hundred flowers will bloom, and many rich people will flock to this city to invest, start companies, do finance, and engage in real estate... At that time, the 101-story building will be the most iconic building in Xuecheng. You say, is it necessary?"
Lu Chengwen nodded: "If this is really the case, then... we should indeed strike first. And geographically speaking, Chengwen District will be more convenient than the current city center. Maybe the municipal government will move here at that time."
Leng Qingqiu smiled: "I knew that if it were you, Brother Chengwen, you would definitely see the huge opportunity here."
"I don't know..."
Lu Chengwen scratched his head and grinned: "I originally thought that it would be a blessing to be able to build houses for ordinary people. But now it's getting bigger and bigger, more and more serious... Can I do it alone?"
"Yes!" Leng Qingqiu said: "If the funds of the four major families are all invested in, without hesitation, it should be able to support the implementation of this project."
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "It's impossible."
He sighed: "It is indeed an opportunity that benefits the country and the people, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xuecheng. If this is done, it can be said that we are creating history."
"But..."
Lu Chengwen looked at the map, he was obviously drooling, but he still shook his head: "I really can't afford it, even if I sell Dasheng Group, I can't afford it."
"The four big families, except for the two of us, the old man of the Chen family and the old man of the Xu family are praying at home, hoping that I will have a car accident. I am the enemy who took away their daughters, do you understand?"
Chen Mengyun didn't say anything, she just looked at the map for a long time, then raised her head and looked at Lu Chengwen.
"Chengwen, do you want to do it?"
Lu Chengwen looked at the map and smacked his lips: "Why wouldn't I want to? If this is done, I will be rich in the future. I am equivalent to... building a city by myself! And this city will be the city of the future, It will be the most important transportation hub in the entire Northern Kingdom!"
Lu Chengwen slapped the map: "Damn it! I'm just too poor!"
Chen Mengyun stared at Lu Chengwen, her eyes showed a fierce look: "If you want to do it, I will help you."
Lu Chengwen raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
Those gentle eyes flickered with madness and determination.
Lu Chengwen frowned: "Do you know how much money it will cost? Just a 100-story skyscraper will cost at least tens of billions. We need to dig a canal later, and we need to fill in a central garden on the canal, and build five arched buildings..."
"Even if I lose my entire family fortune, I will do it."
The shock Lu Chengwen felt in his heart was beyond words.
[Mengyun... my Mengyun... my childhood sweetheart Mengyun. ]
[All these years... don't you blame me? Don't you hate me? ]
[Is there any girl in the world who is more stupid than you? You are betting your life! Betting on an unreliable, heartless, wolf-hearted dog of a man! ]
Lu Chengwen's eyes were moist.
Thinking back to his series of asshole operations over the years, he was clearly hurting her heart again and again.
But at this time, she only wanted to help him.
Help him regardless of the consequences.
In her heart, he has always been the Lu Chengwen she grew up with.
Never changed.
[Why am I such a jerk! I haven't been nice to her for so many years. ]
[We haven't seen each other for three years, and when we met, I mocked her and embarrassed her from time to time. ]
[She never embarrassed me, she just endured it silently. ]
[And me? Not only did I not restrain myself, but it was as if I wanted to test her limit of endurance, constantly... ]
Lu Chengwen coughed, turned around, and pretended to look at the scenery, but actually wiped his tears secretly.
Lu Chengwen cleared his throat, and pretended to be relaxed: "Why do you need to spend your money? Your Xiangyun has already invested hundreds of billions, and the funds are tight now, right? I can take this project slowly..."
"I'll sell my family fortune."
Four calm words, sonorous and powerful.
Chen Mengyun: Hearing your true words, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will have no regrets!
Leng Qingqiu frowned, looked at Chen Mengyun, and then at Lu Chengwen's back.
Xu Xuejiao was shocked.
This is true love.
This is a true love that no one can compare to.
Chen Mengyun is crazy! She is absolutely crazy!
Lu Chengwen turned around and pretended to be relaxed, trying to change the subject and hide his inner feelings: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's follow the original plan and win the current project first, we have to recover some funds..."
Chen Mengyun stared at Lu Chengwen: "I will support whatever my man wants to do, even if I have to sell everything! If Xiangyun is gone, I will depend on you for the rest of my life!"
The huge gratitude and overwhelming guilt made Lu Chengwen unbearable.
Tormented by shame and guilt, Lu Chengwen suddenly became angry and cursed: "Are you sick, you crazy woman?"
"What do you mean? I don't have money, and you want me to sell my family fortune!? Who are you looking down on? Get out! Get as far away as possible!"
Chen Mengyun smiled, after years of tacit understanding, she knew that Lu Chengwen was just putting on airs.
With tears in her eyes, she walked up to Lu Chengwen, held his face, and said with a trembling voice: "We wasted three years, three years..."
"Let's not make trouble anymore, okay?"
Lu Chengwen actually cried: "What are you doing? I'm not good to you at all, I'm a beast! What are you doing? I want to stab myself to death now!"
Chen Mengyun is only one month older than Lu Chengwen, at this time she really looks like an elder sister, gently comforting the mentally broken Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen felt that he was surrounded by a familiar tenderness.
Enveloped by a familiar warmth.
Protected by a familiar emotion.
He felt so guilty that he wished he could go back in time, and he would never let down this gentle and powerful girl in front of him.
What Leng Qingqiu! What Xu Xuejiao! What Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Ermazi...
I don't want them! I don't want any of them!
I only want Mengyun! My Mengyun!
My childhood sweetheart, the Mengyun who entrusted her whole life to me without reservation!
Seeing the two hugging each other and crying, Xu Xuejiao also burst into tears, and tears flickered on Leng Qingqiu's calm face.
Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath: Maybe, these two women are really indispensable help on Brother Chengwen's journey! None of them can be missing!
Xu Xuejiao stomped her foot: "It's just money! Wait for me, I'll go back and pester my dad! I want to be the president! Old man, I don't believe I can't cure you!"
After Xu Xuejiao finished speaking, she pushed the door and ran away.
Lu Chengwen's eyes were filled with tears, he stared blankly at the open door: "What's wrong with her?"
