Chapter 19 General Peng's Daughter Comes to the Door
Zhang Shengqin was so angry he wanted to slap her, but everyone around was watching, how could he, a grown man, let a woman pay the bill?
They had no choice but to swallow their anger and pay the bill.
Zhang Shengqin hadn't ordered much food; the waiter had automatically selected a set meal for him, and now that the dishes were served, Lu Qianqian was able to take advantage of the deal.
Before she could even take a couple of bites, someone suddenly sat down opposite her, angrily slammed their handbag on the table with a loud bang, sending the cooking oil flying everywhere.
Lu Qianqian instinctively stepped back, dodging the oil stain, and then looked at the person opposite her with a puzzled expression, asking, "Auntie, is there something you need?"
The woman who came was a young woman in her forties, but her clothes and appearance gave off a strong middle-aged woman vibe, so Lu Qianqian thought that calling her "Auntie" was the right way to address her.
Upon hearing this, the other person turned pale with anger and said sarcastically, "Auntie? What are you pretending to be? According to our status, I should call you stepmother!"
Lu Qianqian gasped in shock. This...this...stepmother?
How old is Rong Changqing exactly?
How could he have a daughter of such a young age?
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and asked cautiously, "Auntie, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
"Lu Qianqian, you're the one I've been looking for!" the woman roared fiercely. "Don't think that just because you married into the Peng family, you can get our family fortune. You're dreaming!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. So it was the daughter of Boss Peng from Soy Sauce Company: "Um, this... ma'am? Didn't you... ask your father about the situation?"
Peng Xiue immediately flew into a rage, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Lu Qianqian, you're so shameless! My dad could be your grandfather, and you still managed to seduce him! How thick-skinned are you? Don't think we don't know what you're up to! You took 300 million yuan to invest in your Lu family as soon as you arrived, and now you've spent another 30 million to hire Lawyer Zhang. Do you really think the Peng family is your personal vault?"
Lu Qianqian listened while eating her food, knowing it wouldn't taste good if it got cold: "Ms. Peng, so you came to see me today to tell me how much money you spent?"
But Attorney Zhang didn't give any money at all.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Peng Xiue got angry and threw the plate on the ground, making a loud clattering sound that immediately attracted the attention of those around her.
Lu Qianqian held her chopsticks, frozen in mid-air, staring blankly at Peng Xiu'e in front of her.
"Get serious!"
Peng Xiue slammed her fist on the table, ignoring the strange noises around her. She even chased away the waiter who came to clean up, and roared at Lu Qianqian, "I'm giving you two choices now. The first choice is to divorce my dad, or I'll ruin your reputation."
Lu Qianqian slowly put away her chopsticks and asked seriously, "So, what's the second option?"
Peng Xiue suddenly smiled at her, her voice much softer: "Cooperate with me."
"Oh?" Lu Qianqian raised her voice instantly, drawing out the last syllable, "Ms. Peng, how would you like me to cooperate with you?"
Peng Xiue became arrogant again, looking like she was the only one who mattered: "Simple, I want the Peng family!"
That's a really simple and direct way of putting it. Lu Qianqian laughed: "So, what will I get in return?"
“Money,” Peng Xiu’e said. “If you cooperate with me, I can give you five percent of Peng’s shares, enough to ensure you’ll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life.”
Lu Qianqian nodded, looking thoughtful: "But, if I follow President Peng, I might get even more."
"You—" Peng Xiu'e said angrily, "Do you think you can get away with those shares just because you have them? My father has quite a few sons. If you're smart, you'd better cooperate with me. You'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
"Actually, what I want is very simple." Lu Qianqian held her drink, nibbling on the straw, and coaxed gently, "I'm not an ambitious person. I don't really care about how much money I have, as long as it's enough."
Peng Xiue asked, "Then what do you want?"
Lu Qianqian moved slightly closer to her and beckoned her with her hand. Upon seeing this, Peng Xiu'e also leaned over.
Lu Qianqian whispered in her ear, "I want Zhang's Real Estate bankrupt!"
Peng Xiue's gaze froze for a moment, and she looked at her in disbelief: "Zhang's Real Estate is not a small company. How can it go bankrupt so easily?"
Lu Qianqian toyed with the cup in her hand: "That depends on Ms. Peng's abilities. You should know how I 'married' to President Peng, and I'm sure Ms. Peng also knows who I really hate."
"Moreover, I've heard that President Peng has always favored sons over daughters. For Ms. Peng to stand out among her brothers and become the current Executive President of Peng's Soy Sauce Southern Region, she must be quite capable. Bringing down Zhang's Real Estate would be a piece of cake for her!"
Peng Xiue's gaze gradually darkened: "I didn't expect you to know so much."
Lu Qianqian said jokingly, "I just chat with President Peng by his bedside when I have nothing to do."
In fact, she knows about 80% of the people in the wealthy circle. Even if she has never met them, she can recognize their names as soon as their identities are mentioned.
After saying that, Lu Qianqian slowly stood up, preparing to leave: "Ms. Peng, you can contact me anytime if you've thought it through. Goodbye."
Since this woman walked right into this mess, why doesn't she make the most of it?
She would seize any opportunity to cause trouble for the Zhang family.
……
"Hello?" Lu Qianqian was about to hail a taxi when she received a call from Rong Changqing. "Second Young Master, is something the matter?"
"Where are you?" A deep voice came through the phone, and it sounded surprisingly pleasant.
"I'm about to come back." If I go back now, the freshly made braised bananas will probably be all gone by now.
"I'm asking you, where are you?" Rong Changqing patiently repeated himself over the phone, but Lu Qianqian could hear a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.
"Ahem, I'm on Renyang Street, just about to hail a taxi."
"Ren Yang Street, then wait for me at Central next door." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Lu Qianqian had no choice but to obediently walk towards Central. After entering the mall, she found a bar, ordered a drink, and waited patiently.
Soon, she received a text message from Rong Changqing: Darling, play along with me in a play. Third floor, hoping for a chance encounter.
The text message contained so much information that Lu Qianqian hadn't even processed it before rushing to the third floor.
Perhaps it really was a destined call, for she saw Rong Changqing as soon as she arrived, accompanied by a woman with beautiful long hair, wearing a beige lace bodycon dress that revealed a pair of long legs that could make countless men and women unable to look away.
He was smiling as he spoke to Rong Changqing.
Rong Changqing maintained a gentlemanly smile throughout, appearing friendly but actually somewhat distant.
