Chapter 700: Tearing Apart the Facade

Ning, you really want to go to the appointment?

Why not go? Do you think he could still eat me?

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents. Since you've already leaked the news that you're Financial Paraquat to Tang Qingquan, I don't believe he can stay calm.

It's fine; I've already spent money to hire many people to lurk outside Qingfeng Shan Zhuang. If he dares to have any ulterior motives, I guarantee he'll regret it for life.

Hey, there's not really much hatred between you two; why go to such extremes?

He turned my man into your man—that's a deep grudge!

... then you'd better change clothes before going. If you really push him too far, I worry the bodyguards won't be able to save you in time.

Seeing Chu Ning all dressed in green and ready to go out for the appointment, Chu Min rushed forward to grab her, only to be glared at by her.

Sis, I don't blame you for hooking up with my ex; you'd better not meddle in my affairs.

Chu Min, hearing that, could only let her go. After the other's figure entered the elevator, she still couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

You dead girl, it was clearly you who didn't want it, and now you blame me for stealing your sweetheart. If I'd known, why bother in the first place?

After finishing her complaint, she took out her phone and dialed a number. 'Xiao Qing, you and Xiao Bai go follow the Second Miss. If anything happens to her, you don't need to come back!'

Miss, you have to promise us you won't go out today.

All right, all right! You've been watching me every day for how many years now—aren't you two tired?

Miss, sorry, this is our duty.

Alright, hurry up and go—don't lose sight of the person.

Chu Min complained, but at this moment she was still more concerned about Chu Ning's safety.

Although Tang Qingquan's body has been hollowed out by drink and lust, Modu is after all the Tang Family's turf. With a single order, there are plenty of people willing to work for him.

She thought for a moment, then made several more calls. If money can solve the problem, today she's willing to go all out.

Half an hour later, when Chu Ning and Tang Qingquan met in the private room at Qingfeng Shan Zhuang, they didn't realize that outside, forces were already gathered and ready to strike.

Chu Miss, you really fit the occasion in that outfit! Before even entering my Tang Family's gate, you're already preparing to give me a green hat? Looking at Chu Ning arriving in her blue-green attire for the meeting, Tang Qingquan felt an urge to kill.

However, his alcohol has now worn off. Even though he's furious, he won't act impulsively like last night.

Tang Young Master, you spend every night reveling—do you even care if someone puts a green hat on you? Chu Ning was a bit disappointed by Tang Qingquan's reaction. Logically, dressed so green, he should be flying into a rage.

Chu Miss, before our engagement I lived just like this. If you have objections, you can go tell my parents. Tang Qingquan now wishes Chu Ning would herself propose a breakup. He realized that since getting engaged to this woman, his life has become increasingly unsmooth.

Chu Ning saw that Tang Qingquan was no longer pretending to be a gentleman in front of her, and his speech wasn't polite either. 'Hehe, your parents told me you're an honest and ambitious man. Turns out you're only honest at home!'

Tang Qingquan, hearing that, clenched his teeth and gave a cold laugh: 'Your mother even told me you have good investment sense and could help my business reach the next level. It's a shame her language skills aren't good enough for the Spring Festival Gala. If I hadn't found out early, I'd have been ruined by you! The legendary Miss Financial Paraquat?'

Chu Min, seeing the other's emotions rise, felt amused inside but kept her tone light: 'As for me, my investment sense isn't great, but I still don't deserve the title Financial Paraquat. Besides, I haven't participated in your family's business. Even if you go bankrupt, what does that have to do with me?'

Tang Qingquan, seeing Chu Ning still playing dumb, said angrily: 'You damn well know you're Financial Paraquat, yet you keep chatting stocks with me every day. Isn't this just to screw me over?'

Chu Ning retorted: 'Besides stock trading, Tang Young Master, what else do you have to brag about? If we don't talk about that, is there anything else between us to discuss?'

Tang Qingquan was instantly left speechless by the retort.

Chu Ning, seeing he wasn't speaking, continued: 'If you have any objections to our engagement, you can go tell my mother.'

After hearing that Chu Ning was 'Financial Paraquat,' Tang Qingquan had the idea to break off the engagement. But this is ultimately a political marriage; if he were the one to initiate it, the Tang Family side would be in a passive position.

Chu Miss, since you're not satisfied with me personally, why not take the initiative to tell your mother?

Chu Min looked at Tang Qingquan with contempt and said: 'You can pretend all you like—how am I supposed to convince my mother? I can't very well go around snapping photos of you cavorting with those women to show her, can I?'

Tang Qingquan never imagined Chu Ning had been sending people to surveil him; his anger flared. 'Chu Miss, you really have a hobby—you like peeking at others' bedroom affairs. Is it because the Chen man lacks in that department, leaving you frustrated like this?'

Chu Ning snorted coldly, continuing to scorn: 'If you truly had Chen Yang's abilities, I could tolerate a few women hidden outside. Too bad you don't.'

Tang Qingquan jumped up angrily, lunged at Chu Ning, grabbed her collar, and shouted: 'Who are you saying can't do it?'

Chu Ning calmly replied: 'People, the more they lack something, the more they care about it. Your behavior right now has already proven everything.'

Tang Qingquan's face instantly turned savage. He shoved Chu Ning onto the dining table and growled: 'Since you think I can't, then I'll prove to you whether I can or not!'

He was about to keep tearing at Chu Ning's clothes when a harsh shout suddenly came from outside.

Beast, stop it!

Hearing that, Tang Qingquan frightenedly let go of Chu Ning.

Meanwhile, Chu Ning calmly adjusted her clothes, then turned her gaze toward the two men who had suddenly burst into the private room.

She knew both of them: one was Tang Qingquan's lackey Luo Bin, the other was the Deputy Mayor of Modu, who is also Tang Qingquan's father.

Uncle Tang, you've really raised a fine son!

The Deputy Mayor wore an apologetic expression and said: 'Chu Ning, uncle's sorry, I failed to educate this little brat. When we get home, I'll definitely give him a proper lesson!' Having said that, he kicked Tang Qingquan hard, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Beast, in broad daylight you actually did something so shameless. You've lost all face for the Tang Family!

Tang Qingquan, kicked by his own father, instantly sobered up. After getting up, he kept apologizing to Chu Ning.

At this point, how could Chu Ning possibly accept an apology? She directly told the Deputy Mayor: 'Uncle Tang, you also saw what just happened. I think Tang Qingquan is not suitable as a lifelong partner. Please forgive me for not being able to continue our engagement.' Having said that, she left the private room alone.

After Chu Ning left, Tang Qingquan immediately said: 'Dad, don't believe that nasty woman's words. She's deliberately using the goad tactic to force me to call off the engagement. Her heart surely still can't forget that dog of a man, Chen Yang.'

Hearing that, the Deputy Mayor fiercely slapped Tang Qingquan and scolded, 'You idiot, since you know she's using the goad tactic, why are you still so impulsive? If I hadn't shown up, those ambushers outside would have beaten you into a cripple, and I'd still have to personally go to the Chu Family to apologize!'

Upon hearing that, Tang Qingquan broke out in a cold sweat. Qingfeng Shan Zhuang is after all the Tang Family's property, its security has always been tight. Yet the Chu Family has actually managed to infiltrate it!
