Shen Lang's face instantly froze. Su Ruoxue, this stepmother, was really annoying.
"Mom, this Mr. Shen is now my fiancé. My engagement with Luo Tianyao has been canceled long ago." Su Ruoxue said bravely.
Before Shen Lang could show off his acting skills, Qiao Lan snorted coldly: "Okay, stop acting. I don't care if you have a man or not. Your engagement with Luo Tianyao must be fulfilled, otherwise you should know the consequences yourself."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruoxue gritted her teeth and revealed a hint of helplessness on her delicate cheeks.
She originally wanted to persist for a while, survive the next fashion week, get a good ranking and attract foreign investment. By then, Lingya International would be able to re-emerge and provide a large amount of funds to rescue Tianrong International Group.
The idea was beautiful, but the reality was too cruel. There was too little time left for Su Ruoxue, and she had to make a decision now.
Stepmother Qiao Lan didn't care about her life or death at all, she just sold her to Luo Tianyao like a commodity.
Su Ruoxue smiled bitterly in her heart, her product was really valuable.
Seeing that Su Ruoxue didn't say a word, Qiao Lan showed a trace of pride on her face. She knew that this woman had no choice. She immediately turned her eyes to Shen Lang and said coldly: "Your name is Shen Lang, and you are living with Su Ruoxue now?"
"Yes, so what?" Shen Lang chuckled.
Seeing that Qiao Lan's attitude towards Su Ruoxue was so bad, Shen Lang didn't bother to look nice to this old woman.
Seeing Shen Lang's arrogant attitude, Qiao Lan felt a little angry. She didn't bother to argue with such a lowly person.
Qiao Lan expressionlessly took out a check from the Hermès bag on the table and filled it out with a pen.
"This is a check for one million. It can be withdrawn from all major banks in Huahai City. As long as you leave Su Ruoxue now, I will give you one million." Qiao Lan said coldly.
For Qiao Lan, the new heir of the Qiao family, a mere one million is nothing. The marriage between Luo Tianyao and Su Ruoxue was scheduled a long time ago. Now, Luo Tianyao must be stabilized first. There cannot be other men around Su Ruoxue. .
Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately stepped forward and took the check from Qiao Lan's hand, and said with a smile: "Is this million really for me?"
"Of course." Qiao Lan smiled coldly, a bit contemptuously, thinking that low-class people are just low-class people, and they can be bribed with a little money.
"Su Ruoxue, have you seen it now? The guy you hired to play your fiancé is just for money." Qiao Lan glanced at Su Ruoxue with a rather exciting expression.
Su Ruoxue's pretty face turned pale, her body was trembling a little, her beautiful eyes were staring at Shen Lang, deep disappointment welled up in her heart, mixed with a hint of anger.
How could he do this! Selling himself out for a mere one million?
"This man is indeed such a person, haha, I should have known better..."
Su Ruoxue's delicate body trembled and her emotions collapsed. Although she usually kept a distance from Shen Lang, she still trusted in the nominal fiancé her grandfather had found for her.
But this man betrayed her so easily. A wry smile appeared on Su Ruoxue's lips, and her heart ached.
She suddenly felt helpless, and tears welled up in her eyes unknowingly.
Shen Lang stuffed the check into his pocket and said to Qiao Lan happily: "Ms. Qiao, you are so generous. Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lang returned to Su Ruoxue.
Su Ruoxue's delicate and pretty face was already full of tears, but she stubbornly did not let herself cry. She glanced at Shen Lang coldly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "You go, I never want to see you again!"
Shen Lang turned a deaf ear and directly grabbed Su Ruoxue's little hand and said with a smile: "Xue'er, you are such a generous mother. You gave me one million. Let's go have a big dinner. I'm treating you today!"
Su Ruoxue was startled and couldn't understand what Shen Lang meant.
Qiao Lan was also stunned, then her face turned dark and she said angrily: "You bastard, what do you mean? I asked you to take the money and get out of Su Ruoxue!"
Shen Lang was very unhappy and shouted: "Ms. Qiao, I just asked you if the one million was for me, and I didn't promise you to leave Su Ruoxue. Since you promised to give me the money, of course I will do it reluctantly.
Accept it."
"How dare you play tricks on me!"
Qiao Lan's face turned livid with anger, she slapped the table and stood up.
As the heir of the Qiao family, no one has ever dared to play tricks on her like this. Even if they did, they would have confessed in the urn long ago. This kid is simply a gangster!
"puff!"
Su Ruoxue covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing out loud, almost choking off her laughter.
It turned out that this was Shen Lang's plan. She almost thought that Shen Lang had abandoned her for one million.
Shen Lang looked directly at the beautiful Su Ruoxue, couldn't help but stretched out his hand, gently wiped the tears on the woman's face, grinned and said: "Xue'er, stop crying, it's so ugly!"
Su Ruoxue's tears couldn't stop flowing out again. At this moment, she felt that the man in front of her was no longer so annoying.
"I cried in my sleep!" Su Ruoxue wiped her tears and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Xue'er, you look much prettier when you smile."
Seeing Shen Lang calling her so affectionately, Su Ruoxue suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Apart from her grandfather, she had never shed tears in front of any other man, and Shen Lang was the first one, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
However, Shen Lang teased Qiao Lan, which made Su Ruoxue feel much better. Qiao Lan rarely felt depressed, and Su Ruoxue felt bad in her heart.
Qiao Lan's face was gloomy and scary. If she had a knife now, she couldn't help but want to go up and stab Shen Lang a few times. Shen Lang was the first person who dared to tease her like this!
"Su Ruoxue, to tell you the truth, the purpose of asking you to come today is to spread the word that Luo Tianyao will hold a dinner on the Red River cruise ship next weekend and has invited many business and political figures, including you. If you don't go,
You have to pay for the consequences!" Qiao Lan snorted coldly.
Su Ruoxue calmed down. As soon as Luo Tianyao returned to China, he threw a dinner party. There would definitely be something big going on. Su Ruoxue's IQ was not low, so she guessed that it might have something to do with her.
Right now, she had no other choice but to take it one step at a time.
Seeing the sad expression on the woman's face, Shen Lang turned to Qiao Lan, laughed dryly and said, "Ms. Qiao, if there's nothing else, Miss Su and I will leave first."
"Wait a minute!" Qiao Lan's face turned cold and she said angrily: "You arrogant boy, don't go too far. Give me back the check!"
Shen Lang sneered and said: "I just told you not to regret it, but now it's no longer true. As the CEO of Tianrong International, you don't have integrity. No wonder this company is going bankrupt."
