Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

We've been fooled, we've been completely fooled.

But if Lu Chengzhou himself were to say it, he would say that he too had been fooled.

He always finds himself unable to resist softening when faced with a beautiful girl in distress; this is a serious problem for him.

Honestly, this is clearly the perfect opportunity to escape from Miss Meng.

He actually gave up like that...

You'll definitely regret it later.

Well, actually, he's already regretting it now.

Because after he broke through her defenses, she became unusually clingy.

Miss Meng, who used to always use a commanding tone to order him around, actually started trying to ask for his opinion...

"Um, Ms. Lu, could you tutor someone tonight?"

She massaged his legs while looking at him pitifully.

"It'll only take two hours, okay?"

Lu Chengzhou shuddered.

No, you should just go back to being that arrogant and domineering Miss Meng.

Your delicate and demure appearance really makes me uneasy!

369. Is this what you're using to test Mr. Lu?

It turns out that you can make anyone owe you a favor, but never let Meng Wanyu owe you one.

The reason is that this guy's way of repaying kindness is just too wild!

So wild it's overwhelming.

So wild it'll make your nose bleed.

After several days of revelry, even Lu Chengzhou, who was physically exceptionally strong, felt completely drained.

This feeling is really bad!

Fortunately, in this battle of endurance and explosive power, Ms. Meng was the first to be defeated.

From the allure of silk pajamas to the allure of flight attendant uniforms, and then to the allure of JK uniforms, after trying them all, she completely lost the motivation to keep trying.

Lu Chengzhou won this round...

The time to return to Jingzhou is drawing ever closer.

Although the situation was urgent, it wasn't about putting out a fire, and there was no need to rush to the scene immediately.

Meng Yong, that old fox, has been in Jingzhou for so many years, he has connections everywhere, and he can still take charge of the situation for the time being.

Before his daughters returned with reinforcements, he instructed them to do something else first.

"Investigate the Shen family of Youcheng, and the Jin family who donated the city."

"It seems we'll have to split up."

"Sister, you and Teacher Lu are in the same group, why don't you go and visit the Jin family?"

Meng Wanyu gave the instructions lazily.

When Lu Chengzhou wasn't around, she completely abandoned her delicate and charming demeanor, revealing the domineering aura of someone in a superior position.

Sister Meng, however, was somewhat confused.

Why wasn't it the younger sister who personally took Lu Chengzhou with her?

Could it be that, just as she suspected, she was tired of being with Lu Chengzhou?

Once this thought arises, it's hard to shake off.

My sister's feelings are a bit complicated...

how to say?

It must be a strange feeling, a mixture of relief and regret.

However, Meng Wanyu gently grasped her hands and said, "Sister is not good at dealing with people's hearts. Teacher Lu is here with you and can help you a lot."

"This matter is very complicated."

"If things go smoothly, Old Man Jin will only go to jail; if things don't go smoothly, he might die."

When the word "dead person" was mentioned, my sister's eyelids twitched.

She knows the deepest secrets of the wealthy family.

The struggle for power and wealth is always accompanied by great sacrifices.

A more civilized approach is to send the other party to jail.

The most uncivilized thing to do is to make the other person disappear from this world.

Meng Wanyu's hands were never stained with human blood, but the hands of her subordinates might not have.

Even Elsa, who often appears in maid outfits, is by no means a pushover.

Murder...

If possible, Sister Meng really doesn't want things to come to that.

It wasn't just because she had hemophobia, but also because she didn't want Lu Chengzhou to witness the dark side of this wealthy family world.

"elder sister."

Meng Wanyu patted her shoulder, bringing her back to her senses from her reverie and worry.

"Don't worry, all of this can be handled."

Things are far from the worst they could have been.

Judging from the fact that Meng Wanyu still had the leisure to drink afternoon tea, it's clear that she wasn't really in a hurry.

In fact, the only thing that truly made her anxious and restless was Lu Chengzhou's matter.

The older sister sighed and gave a helpless "hmm".

"I will try my best to help you, Ayu."

"Don't say that, this is also helping yourself."

Meng Wanyu gently put her arm around her sister's shoulder.

"We've always been one entity, haven't we?"

The two sisters almost became enemies because of Lu Chengzhou.

However, when a crisis comes, they are often able to abandon everything and stand together.

This kind of affection is truly thicker than blood.

Here, no emotion can surpass it.

……

On Lu Chengzhou's side.

After the initial nervousness, he has gradually calmed down.

The day before his departure, he also encountered the middle-aged man carrying a briefcase who was wandering around.

However, this time, he brought not only a stationary gift, but also a moving one—a colorful bird in a pure gold cage.

The bird is so lifelike that you could mistake it for a real bird from a distance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be wound up.

Each feather is meticulously crafted by a master craftsman and adorned with colorful jewels.

Those blood-red eyes had a captivating allure, making it impossible to look away after just one glance.

it is good!

Excellent!

Even someone like Lu Chengzhou, who isn't particularly knowledgeable about jewelry and luxury goods, would know that this bird is quite valuable.

"I got this little trinket from the recent overseas auction. I brought it here especially to present to Mr. Lu. I hope Mr. Lu will not find it offensive."

The middle-aged man's attitude towards Lu Chengzhou was quite different from his attitude towards Master Lin.

The biggest difference lies in his sincerity.

He went to see Master Lin simply to carry out the joint mission and try to persuade Master Lin to join him.

However, he had a selfish motive in coming to see Lu Chengzhou.

This guy is so young, just a college student, yet he's managed to make Yicheng Winery thrive and turn a profit. He's definitely a talent!

Wouldn't it be a waste not to try and recruit such talent?

Of course, even if he couldn't be poached, he would still try his best to leave a place in Lu Chengzhou's heart.

Poaching talent isn't something that can be done overnight; it takes time!

Lu Chengzhou looked at the "caged bird" with a smile that never faded.

Good guy.

Unexpectedly, he, a mere commoner, was so valuable in the eyes of these powerful and wealthy people.

With this as a starting point, I expect other gifts will follow.

What……?

You're saying he shouldn't accept it?

Just kidding, why would you refuse such a freebie?

Lu Chengzhou accepted it without hesitation.

The other party had prepared a whole host of persuasive arguments to get Lu Chengzhou to accept it, and even planned out the scenario of simply leaving if Lu Chengzhou resolutely refused.
