I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 390 I've never been shameless

Lu Yeping froze in place for a moment, staring at Shen Lang in disbelief.

Shen Lang's lips were tightly closed, without moving at all, but the clear words he spoke entered her ears accurately and without error.

When she saw Shen Lang raise his eyebrows slightly, she suddenly felt certain that this was not an auditory hallucination caused by shock.

But she was absolutely unwilling to enter into marriage in such a muddled way. Just as she was about to turn around and talk things over with Fu Wenpei, Shen Lang spoke again: "Yiping, since we've already met with your mother, why don't we go and take care of some things first?"

Lu Yiping thought to herself that she did have many questions that needed to be clarified with Shen Lang, and she had to find a way to get him to take back the so-called betrothal money no matter what.

So, she nodded slightly, trying her best to make her tone sound calm and steady: "Okay, let's go deal with things first."

Then, she turned sideways and whispered to Fu Wenpei, "Mom, I'll be back soon."

Fu Wenpei nodded slightly, her lips opening and closing slightly, as if thousands of words were swirling on the tip of her tongue, but in the end, she couldn't utter a single word.

Shen Lang's face was full of concern, and his tone was gentle as he said, "Mother-in-law, please quickly hide the betrothal money properly and don't let anyone see it."

Fu Wenpei finally woke up from her dream and hurriedly hid the gold bars carefully on her body.

It was a long time after Lu Yiping and Shen Lang got in the car and left that she turned around in a trance, dragging her steps as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and slowly left step by step.

Lu Yeping and Shen Lang got into the car together. The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became depressing and dull, as if the air was condensed in this tense atmosphere.

The car slowly started to move. Lu Yiping could no longer suppress the doubts and anger surging in her heart, and was the first to ask, "Mr. Shen, why did you tell my mother that you wanted to marry me as your concubine? This is just the first time we've met, what exactly is your purpose?"

She stared at Shen Lang closely, her eyes full of vigilance and inquiry, as if she wanted to see through Shen Lang's thoughts.

Shen Lang turned his head slightly, looked at her calmly, and said bluntly: "Miss Lu, let's not mince words. I fell in love with you at first sight and want to spend the night with you."

His voice seemed to have a kind of bewitching magic.

Lu Yiping's heart trembled suddenly. Shen Lang's straightforward words made her a little at a loss for a moment.

But she quickly regained her composure and snorted coldly, her tone filled with disdain and ridicule: "I didn't expect you to be so frank. You actually said so openly that you wanted to take me into your room to satisfy your own selfish desires. Don't you know how to pursue a girl at all?"

Shen Lang was not angered by Lu Yiping's words. His expression remained calm and composed. He said slowly and unhurriedly, "I have always been straightforward, especially when it comes to matters between men and women. Besides, your mother has already accepted my betrothal gift. Do you want to go back on your word?"

"Hmph, I will return all the betrothal money to you tomorrow. Stop the car now! I want to go back and explain clearly to my mother that there is no way I will be anyone else's concubine." Lu Yeping said angrily with her eyebrows raised, her tone revealing unquestionable determination.

Shen Lang remained calm and continued, "Can you really bear to see your mother continue to work so hard as she does now?"

"But I have found a job and I can fully support my daughter and me." Lu Yiping insisted stubbornly.

Shen Lang's eyes rolled, and he began to speak nonsense: "Do you think your mother was the only one who accepted my betrothal gift? Lu Zhenhua's ninth concubine, Wang Xueqin, also took my money. Do you think she will return it to me?"

"What? Aunt Xue also accepted the betrothal gift? Why?" Lu Yiping's face was full of shock, her eyes were full of disbelief, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

Shen Lang said calmly, "She considers herself the head wife of the Lu family, and she has given you and your daughter some money over the years, so she accepted my betrothal gift with a clear conscience. As long as Wang Xueqin returns the betrothal gift, I can consider taking back what I said."

Lu Yeping was both angry and anxious. She knew Aunt Xue too well. She was selfish and valued money more than anything else. Getting her to return the betrothal money was almost impossible.

But she was absolutely unwilling to compromise and marry a man she had never met and who had ulterior motives as a concubine.

"I don't believe it. You must be lying to me. I'm going to go find Aunt Xue myself and ask her for the truth." Lu Yiping's eyes were wide open as she stared at Shen Lang, trying to find a hint of lying in his expression.

Shen Lang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Okay, then I'll go with you. However, I remind you, Miss Lu, once some things are made clear, there may be no turning back."

Lu Yiping remained silent and just turned her gaze to the window.

At this moment, she felt that there was nothing left to say to Shen Lang.

The car sped through the night
Along the way, Lu Yiping's mood became increasingly heavy. She was half-believing and half-doubting Shen Lang's words, but she was also afraid that if things were really as Shen Lang said, then her and her mother's lives would become even more difficult in the future.

Shen Lang leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, the car arrived at a luxury hotel owned by Shen Lang.

Shen Lang got out of the car first and then opened the door for Lu Yiping very politely. Lu Yiping looked at the brightly lit hotel in front of her and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"What are we doing here?" Lu Yeping asked warily.

"Because Wang Xueqin is upstairs." Shen Lang said calmly, "Don't you want to see her? So I brought you here to see her."

"Really?" Lu Yeping's eyes were full of doubt.

"Believe it or not."

Lu Yiping thought for a moment and decided to go upstairs to find out what was going on.

But when she stepped into the room upstairs in the hotel, she found that only she and Shen Lang were inside, and there was no sign of Wang Xueqin at all.

Lu Yeping was shocked and instantly realized Shen Lang's sinister intentions. She quickly turned around and tried to escape.

However, Shen Lang was prepared. With quick eyes and hands, he grabbed Lu Yiping's wrist and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"From the moment your mother accepted the betrothal money, you have been mine." Shen Lang whispered softly in her ear, his warm breath spraying on Lu Yiping's neck.

Lu Yiping struggled desperately, pounding Shen Lang's chest with both hands, and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Let me go! I don't want it!"

"Yes, that's right. The more you struggle, the more excited I get..." Shen Lang said as he carried Lu Yeping to the bed.

Lu Yiping took the opportunity to get up and run away, but he pinned her down again.

"Yiping, it was actually Wang Xueqin who wanted to marry you off to me as my concubine." Shen Lang continued to sow discord. "If you want to blame someone, blame her."

Lu Yiping was in tears and kept twisting her body, trying to break free from Shen Lang's restraints.

However, Shen Lang was too strong and her struggle seemed so futile.

The struggle gradually stopped, and Lu Yiping's mind was blank, as if her soul had left her body.

for a long time.

Lu Yiping stood up silently and bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground.

She just wanted to escape from this place that made her heartbroken and never wanted to look at Shen Lang again.

Her heart was filled with resentment towards Shen Lang, and at the same time she felt sad about her own tragic fate.

She really couldn't understand why her life had become like this overnight and why she had to suffer such humiliation.

However, just as she picked up a piece of clothing, Shen Lang stopped her and said, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yiping stopped what she was doing, turned her back to Shen Lang and said, "I want to go home. I don't want to see you again."

There was a hint of fatigue and indifference in her voice.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lang hugged her tightly from behind.

"If you leave now, the headline of tomorrow's newspaper will be 'Lu Zhenhua's daughter Lu Yiping molests Pudong boss Shen Lang late at night.'" Shen Lang said slowly.

Hearing this, Lu Yiping struggled to break free from Shen Lang's embrace, turned around and glared at him, saying, "Molderous? You actually turned black into white and said I molested you? You ruined my life, ruined everything I have."

Her eyes burned with anger. "Are you still a man? How can you have the nerve to say such things?"

Shen Lang remained calm and said bluntly, "I've never been shameless in this world!"

Lu Yiping was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. She could only stare at the man in front of her with anger and sadness.

At this time, Shen Lang said again: "Since Aunt Xue treated you this way, you can definitely retaliate. Are you so willing to let her scheme against you?"
