Tang Qian chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

I slept at the palace last night, and it's already noon. I was supposed to go home for breakfast, but now I can only have lunch instead.

She was too drunk to drive, so she asked Xiao Wu to take her home.

Upon arriving at the destination, Tang Qian yawned and got up from her seat. "You can take the car. Just leave it in the garage for now."

"it is good."

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.

After he left, Tang Qian walked step by step through the gate.

Meng Tingwan had finished lunch, and when Fang Jia came in, she happened to see An An packing her things.

"Wanwan, someone wants to see you."

A seemingly random question made Meng Tingwan stop what she was doing, teasing Diudiu. "Who?"

Fang Jia didn't say anything, but simply took a step to the side.

Behind her stood three men, all dressed in suits. Meng Tingwan recognized the man in front; he was her father's secretary.

Upon seeing her, Secretary Liang immediately took a few steps forward, then bowed respectfully, his voice neither humble nor arrogant, but full of presence, "Miss, Chairman Meng requests your return."

Meng Tingwan didn't even lift her eyelids, continuing what she was doing. "When?"

"Now."

After Secretary Liang finished speaking, she made a "please" gesture, looking very assertive.

Meng Tingwan raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a cool tone, "I'm busy."

"But the chairman wants you to go back now." Secretary Liang hadn't seen her for a long time, and the girl in front of him now seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"Ah!"

Meng Tingwan finally looked up, but her face really resembled Meng Yunting's, and every frown and smile made Secretary Liang have a misconception.

"I said I'm busy, didn't you understand?"

The girl was still wearing her movie costume, a light purple dress embroidered with gold thread. She smiled, but the look in her eyes was like the cold autumn wind, making Secretary Liang afraid to say anything more.

But thinking of Meng Yunting, he still had to speak with difficulty:

"Young Miss, please don't make things difficult for me."

"So, I'm going to put you in a difficult position, okay?"

Meng Tingwan's voice wasn't loud, but the meaning behind her words was quite clear.

She can't go with me now.

Secretary Liang was about to say something more when she saw that she had already stood up.

"You can either stay here or go outside. Choose one."

Before the other party could answer, Meng Tingwan continued, "Sister Fang, keep an eye on them."

Fang Jia knew this was her family matter and that she shouldn't interfere, so she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Meng Tingwan put Diudiu down, walked past Secretary Liang, and prepared to leave, with An'an following behind her.

At the entrance of the RV, two bodyguards stood ramrod straight, showing no intention of moving.

"Step aside!"

Meng Tingwan said coldly.

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance and silently took a step back.

The young lady is a bit difficult to deal with, so they'd better go looking for trouble.

Inside the RV, Fang Jia smiled slightly, "Secretary Liang, that's just how Wanwan is. Chairman Meng is her father, so he should understand. Thank you for waiting here with the two of you."

After she finished speaking, she picked up Diudiu and added before leaving, "By the way, this is a film set, there are many people and things that can go wrong, so you should not move around casually to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Fang Jia carried Diudiu away, closed the door, and thoughtfully locked it.

Secretary Liang was unwilling, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything. He had no choice but to take out his phone and call Meng Yunting to report the situation.

At this moment, the Meng family was preparing a meal. Lu Ke sat next to him, and Huo Lin'an was opposite them.

After listening to Secretary Liang's words, Meng Yunting didn't say anything.

If she really came back obediently, she wouldn't be his daughter anymore.

Lu Ke also thought of this and said, "Yun Ting, I knew she'd become too independent now, daring to disobey you even now."

Huo Lin'an pretended not to hear and continued with his work.

Meng Yunting said nonchalantly, "Xiao Wan has work, so it's normal for her not to come back."

Only Lu Ke was filled with rage, "Yun Ting, she's a madwoman now. She thinks she's something special just because she's a movie queen. She dares to disobey you now, but she'll dare to do even more outrageous things in the future!"

"Shut up!" Meng Yunting snapped. "Don't you know what you can and can't say?"

Lu Ke's face darkened at his outburst, but realizing there were other people present, she reluctantly shut her mouth.

Meng Yunting then looked at Huo Lin'an and said, "Lin'an, let's not wait for her, let's eat first."

"it is good."

Huo Lin'an appeared outwardly obedient, but inwardly he was becoming increasingly curious about Meng Tingwan.

-

Country Y.

Inside a villa somewhere in the city, a heart-wrenching scream came from within.

The man who led the arrest of Cheng Yu last night is now clutching his hand, lying on the ground in excruciating pain, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

Beside him lay three fingers and a pool of blood.

A thick, sticky fishy smell spread through the air.

It makes one want to vomit.

Cheng Yu sat to the side, a faint smile on his lips, his slender fingers toying with an expensive porcelain cup, the silver ring on his index finger reflecting a cold light.

He lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at the man sitting in the main seat.

"After gambling all night, time to make a choice?"

The man's face was tense, and you could vaguely see him clenching his teeth. "What makes you think I have to make the choice you say?"

"OK." Cheng Yu put down the porcelain cup and spread his hands. "Then there's nothing more to discuss."

“Mr. Cheng, I admire your courage, but you really shouldn’t be so arrogant.”

"for example?"

The man's green eyes gleamed eerily, much like a wolf poised to pounce on its prey.

"For example, you think you can get away unscathed after one night."

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.

The laughter puzzled the man. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for not learning your lesson."

The man's Chinese wasn't good, so he didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.

Seeing his blank expression, Cheng Yu stood up, picked up a piece of paper from the table, then squatted down and pinched a finger through the paper, which was still covered with sticky blood.

Upon seeing this, the man frowned.

In his eyes, Cheng Yu was just a businessman, except for being tall and having a strong presence. In particular, his fair skin made him look like a pretty boy.

This has led to his current actions being disproportionate to his actual abilities.

It looks very inconsistent.

Cheng Yu ignored his gaze, pinched his fingers and looked at them, then thoughtfully explained the meaning behind his words, "Just like these severed fingers, losing one isn't enough, you have to lose several more."

Then, he changed the subject.

"How about we take another gamble?"

The man's lips twitched.

Holy crap! Is he addicted to gambling?

"Don't you dare?"

"What are we betting on this time?"

The tactic of provocation works on everyone.

Cheng Yu tossed his finger into the porcelain cup he had just been holding, then wiped his hands with a paper towel, his voice tinged with nonchalance, "If I don't die this time, give me your finger next time we meet."

"???"

While the man was still in shock, one of his men walked in and whispered something in his ear with an anxious expression.

After wiping his hands, Cheng Yu threw the paper away, and it landed squarely on the unconscious man on the ground.

"Steven, you lost again."
