I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 428 I rely on my big appetite to get out there

The night outside the window grows darker.

Lu Mengping left first.

Only after she left did Wang Xueqin mention Wei Guangxiong.

"That Wei Guangxiong has been coming to see me again and again recently, but now my heart and eyes are filled with only you. I'm really fed up with him and don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Honey, can you help me deal with this troublesome matter?"

After saying that, she raised her head, her eyes full of expectation and dependence, looking at Shen Lang eagerly.

Shen Lang lowered his eyes slightly, looking straight at Wang Xueqin, and said slowly: "Wei Guangxiong is Erjie's biological father. Do you really have the heart to let me take his life?"

"This..." Wang Xueqin bit her lip when she heard this, feeling conflicted.

In fact, deep in her heart, she still felt a little reluctant to let go of Wei Guangxiong.

Although Wei Guangxiong looked crude and ugly, and was idle all day long, he looked like a gigolo who relied on women for support.

But it is undeniable that Wei Guangxiong was like a bright light in the darkness at certain special moments, satisfying all her romantic and illusory fantasies about love.

Those bits and pieces of the past, like shining pearls, still occupy a place in her heart, emitting a faint but indelible light.

However, when she weighed and compared Shen Lang and Wei Guangxiong in her mind, she knew exactly which one was more important.

The wealth, status and power represented by Shen Lang are like towering mountains, making Wei Guangxiong's insignificant existence pale in comparison.

The wealth that Shen Lang casually gave away attracted countless people, but Wei Guangxiong just kept asking her for more.

Thinking of this, Wang Xueqin sighed secretly in her heart. She understood that her future could no longer be tied to Wei Guangxiong.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xueqin hardened her heart, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. That resolute look seemed to be able to cut off all hesitation and reluctance in the world.

She spoke with a resolute tone, "Although he is Erjie's father, in my eyes, how can he be compared to you? Moreover, I have already sacrificed so much for you. Isn't this enough to prove my sincerity towards you?"

At this moment, she kept giving herself hints in her heart, convincing herself that this was for the pursuit of a better life, for the future of herself and Ruping.

In Wang Xueqin's view, Wei Guangxiong was just a street thug with no future, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled, always asking her for money.

But Shen Lang is completely different. He owns a fortune and seems to be the master of wealth. Any little wealth that slips out of his fingers is an astronomical figure that countless people can hardly reach in their entire lives.

Even though Shen Lang has already started a family and is a domineering and strong person, they are now deeply trapped in it, like trapped beasts in a quagmire, with no way back.

Her heart was filled with helplessness and sadness, but she had to admit that she had no other choice but to walk on this road all the way to the end, even if the road ahead was full of thorns and unknown dangers.

Shen Lang nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Since the beauty has asked me so, I will take action to deal with Wei Guangxiong. However, please don't blame me for being ruthless afterwards. When the time comes, don't be soft-hearted and think of our old feelings."

"How could that be?" Wang Xueqin said hurriedly, with a hint of anxiety and flattery in her expression. She was afraid that Shen Lang would change his mind because of her hesitation.

"Although I often take Erjie to see him under the pretext of playing cards, Erjie still doesn't know that Wei Guangxiong is his biological father. As long as the two of us keep it a secret, he will always think that he is Lu Zhenhua's child. This secret will be buried deep in his heart forever, and no one will know."

As she spoke, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this secret would be buried forever and would not bring any waves to her seemingly beautiful life.

Shen Lang suddenly said, "If one day you meet a man who is richer and more powerful than me, will you also look for an opportunity to get rid of me like you are doing now? You have to tell the truth, otherwise I will not let you go easily." Hearing this, Wang Xueqin's body trembled violently, as if struck by a thunder, and her whole body was shocked.

A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, like a frightened deer, at a loss in the dark.

He shook his head hastily and said quickly, "How could that be? My mind is completely focused on you, and I've expressed my love to you so unreservedly. Are you still not satisfied? I'm devoted to you, and I have no second thoughts. You are my heaven, my everything."

Her heart was filled with fear, afraid that Shen Lang would abandon her because of this groundless speculation.

That would be an unbearable disaster for her.

Shen Lang shook his head. "Because I've seen how decisive you are, I naturally have to be careful and on guard, but..."

He deliberately dragged out his tone, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"But what?" Wang Xueqin asked hurriedly, her voice trembling and fearful, as if a drowning person was calling for help.

Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and a strong sense of unease surged in her heart. She had a premonition that what Shen Lang was going to say next might completely change the trajectory of her life.

"But there's still a chance for you to change." Shen Lang said seriously, "As long as you promise me one thing, I promise not to doubt your intentions. Then you will be the person I trust the most. From now on, your position in my heart will be unmatched."

"What's the matter?" Wang Xueqin suddenly felt a strong bad premonition in her heart.

Her palms began to sweat and her breathing became rapid. An ominous feeling enveloped her, making her feel suffocated.

Shen Lang uttered two words: "Ru Ping."

"What?" Wang Xueqin suddenly raised her voice, her voice as sharp as an arrow piercing the night sky, filled with incredible astonishment.

She stumbled and said, "Ruping? This, this..."

Her mind went blank in an instant. She had never expected Shen Lang to make such a shocking request. She was at a loss for a moment and fell into extreme entanglement and struggle.

Her heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she knew that Shen Lang's power could bring her endless wealth and status;
On the other hand, she felt that she was really sorry for Ruping by doing this.

Shen Lang whispered softly in her ear, "Think about your future status in Shanghai. If you leave me, you will be nothing. Everything you enjoy will be gone. But as long as you promise me, you will become one of the most powerful women in Shanghai, and they will also enjoy the glory with you."

Wang Xueqin wanted to make a final stand, with a hint of pleading in her voice: "But we are already like this, how can I drag Ruping into this?"

Shen Lang said slowly, "I, Shen Lang, have thrived in Shanghai because I dared to think and act. And you think I'm discussing this with you? I just asked you to do this little thing, but you're so reluctant. How can I trust you to manage part of my Shen family's assets in the future? Don't you want to be one of the most powerful women in Shanghai?"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wang Xueqin's heart again and again, breaking her last psychological defense.

Although Shen Lang's request was far beyond her ability to bear, Wang Xueqin knew that she had no choice.

As long as she can stand at the top of Shanghai and become a respected figure, even Ru Ping and Meng Ping seem to have no regrets about letting her go.

Maybe they will be grateful for their choice at that time. After all, with wealth and glory right in front of them, who can easily refuse?

After hesitating for almost a minute, she gritted her teeth and said, as if she had exhausted all her strength, "Then I'll go call her now..."
