Chapter 145 The Simp Stand-in Quits (19)
To prevent Xia Mingwei from exaggerating or saying unrelated things to Li Nianyun, Lu Ming insisted that she talk to him face-to-face, and that the call be made on speakerphone.
As the phone rang, a few seconds later, Xia Mingwei dialed Li Nianyun's number.
"Are you there?"
Xia Mingwei spoke first.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I think I'll be here for the next few decades!"
Li Nianyun rarely cracked a joke.
"I want to explain what happened last time!"
"whats the matter?"
"It was that time when your brother Ming and I were talking. I told you he wanted me to be his stand-in, but it was all a lie!"
"Xia Mingwei, how dare you play me!..."
Li Nianyun's angry voice came from the phone, so loud that Xia Mingwei thought her eardrums were about to be pierced!
She touched her ear and continued, "I didn't mean to, I was just trying to help you! I remember everything that happened before!"
Before Li Nianyun could react, Xia Mingwei hung up the phone after saying that.
"Can i do it now?"
Xia Mingwei looked at Lu Ming and said, word by word.
Lu Ming stared at Xia Mingwei's face, seemingly trying to glean something from it. But Xia Mingwei's clear eyes seemed to tell Lu Ming that his suspicions were unnecessary.
Seeing that she was completely unashamed, Lu Ming finally felt relieved and transferred the money.
Upon seeing the text message confirming the receipt of the remittance, Xia Mingwei smiled again.
Before leaving, she added, "By the way, I've said my piece! Whether Li Nianyun believes me or not is her business! I don't handle after-sales service here!"
Watching Xia Mingwei's cheerful figure, Lu Ming finally realized that if Li Nianyun still didn't believe him, then his five thousand five hundred would have been wasted.
Rather than giving it to Xia Mingwei, a woman who loves money more than anything, I might as well throw it down the drain and have some fun myself!
But by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Xia Mingwei had already walked away, humming a little tune.
At the same time, Li Nianyun, whose call had been disconnected, fell into deep thought.
Even before this phone call, Xia Mingwei had discussed it with her. No matter what she said, as long as she mentioned "the past," it would imply "ten million," proving that their agreement was still valid.
But why would she call herself? Was she being threatened?
In a sense, Li Nianyun was right.
Xiao Ba: Ah, right, right, she was threatened with money!
Before she could even go to Xia Mingwei the next day to get some answers, Li Nianyun met Lu Ming, who was fully armed.
In the past, Lu Ming always acted impulsively in front of Li Nianyun and rarely appeared in front of her dressed so formally.
Li Nianyun was still surprised to see Lu Ming again. She had tried her best to avoid him, so why did he still come knocking on her door?
"Nianyun, can you come with me to the banquet tonight?"
Lu Ming made the same request to Li Nianyun again. In his opinion, after listening to Xia Mingwei's words yesterday, Li Nianyun should realize that she had "misunderstanding" him before.
He invited her again today, and whether she was in love with him or felt guilty, she should accept his request.
Unfortunately, the situation Lu Ming had anticipated did not occur.
Li Nianyun frowned. "Brother Ming, I already answered you last time about attending the banquet. I won't be attending with you!"
"Why? Didn't Xia Mingwei already explain it to you? The things she said to you back then, calling me a womanizer, weren't true!"
Seeing that Li Nianyun would not agree to his request, Lu Ming, in desperation, revealed everything he had done.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Nianyun suddenly realized that Xia Mingwei had been playing riddles with her yesterday because of this. Although she didn't know why Xia Mingwei had called her that day, given Xia Mingwei's current personality, she probably didn't care about the money!
Lu Ming kept emphasizing that Li Nianyun had been deceived by bad people and misunderstood him. But the more he said this, the more obvious Li Nianyun's disappointment in him became.
It seems that Lu Ming still doesn't know what's making Li Nianyun angry. Li Nianyun, however, knows perfectly well whether Lu Ming actually did those things.
But what she didn't expect was that Lu Ming lied to her time and time again to cover up his mistake, which was the real reason she was disappointed in Lu Ming!
But in order to keep up the act, Li Nianyun could only force a smile and say, "Xia Mingwei already explained these things to me yesterday! I understand!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed across Lu Ming's face. "Since you know that Xia Mingwei is lying to you, then why?"
Seeing that Lu Ming was determined to continue this charade, Li Nianyun lost her temper.
"Brother Ming, I've already told you that the reason I can't accompany you to the banquet is because I have important matters to attend to! Why do you seem to not understand me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming knew that Li Nianyun had lost her temper. He dared not press her any further, fearing that things would only get worse, so he hurriedly took his leave!
On the way back, Lu Ming had a question in his mind: Did Li Nianyun believe what she said or not?
Over the next week, Lu Ming continued to contact Li Nianyun, but she continued to ignore him.
He thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized that the problem wasn't with Xia Mingwei, but with Li Nianyun! He touched his forehead and sighed inwardly, it seemed that all his money had been wasted!
If it wasn't because of Xia Mingwei's words, then why was Li Nianyun angry?
After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming came to an answer.
Perhaps Li Nianyun felt she had gone too far before, and was playing hard to get in order to win him back!
But Lu Ming could only think these words to himself. He believed that if these words were to get out, it would not be good for Li Nianyun's reputation!
Girls are always a bit more sensitive! Since she was trying to get his attention, he wouldn't pursue the matter of her ignoring him before!
However, it's fortunate that this was only Lu Ming's thought. If Xia Mingwei had heard it, she would have laughed for three days and three nights! This guy's face must have been a city wall in his past life; it's really thick!
Where did he get the confidence to be so sure that Li Nianyun couldn't live without him and could only revolve around him for the rest of her life?
However, what happened next quickly changed Xia Mingwei's mind. She felt that Lu Ming's confidence was sometimes quite good!
After all, he thought of things that normal people wouldn't even consider! And not only did he think of them, he actually did them!
