Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 737 - 711: Keep Waiting If You’re Not Afraid of Facing Consequences
Chapter 737: Chapter 711: Keep Waiting If You’re Not Afraid of Facing Consequences
Realizing he couldn’t win an argument with the always logical and heart-tugging Xiao Qian, Ma Lu turned his gaze towards Eldest Brother, hoping he could ask his bodyguard to back off.
“My parents truly hold Liu Mei in high regard. They traveled all this way just to see her, and I hope you’ll allow me another chance to talk to her. I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear it.”
Playing the elder card again! This tactic hardly worked on Liu Mei, and now he still thought he could persuade the smooth-talking Eldest Brother?
Eldest Brother nodded, and said to Ma Lu with a stern face.
“Indeed, it is not easy coming all this way. It would be embarrassing to send you home empty-handed after a breakup. Xiao Qian, what do you think we should do?”
“How about this, to compensate your family for traveling such a distance, whichever house you liked today, Eldest Brother will give you a 5% discount if you pay in full.”
...
Eldest Brother chuckled inwardly. Xiao Qian was indeed merciless. If the Ma family could afford to buy a house in full, why would they pin their hopes on Liu Mei?
This was like dangling a piece of meat in front of Ma Lu’s mouth then stepping on it before tossing it aside, teasing him to the brink of madness.
For Xiao Qian’s ruthlessness, Eldest Brother wanted to say, “Well done!”
Sometimes, Boss Qian was amazed at the shamelessness of some people, like Ma Lu, for instance.
Liu Mei had already told him clearly. If he had as much pride and dignity as he had shown before, he should have just left.
But he did not leave. His persistence to see Liu Mei and Fu Gui was just an attempt to wheedle Eldest Brother, despite the bodyguard blocking his way.
Eldest Brother didn’t want to waste time with this sort of person. Having witnessed the spectacle and gathered enough gossip to share with Madam, he ignored Ma Lu and said to Xiao Qian,
“You handle it. I’m going to meet some people from the city.”
Xiao Qian nodded, and after leaving the bodyguard to assist, Eldest Brother left. Xiao Qian then disdainfully said to Ma Lu,
“Our Meizi has very soft hands. From a life perspective, women with soft hands have great luck with men. It seems indeed to be the case. Good women are hot in demand. If you don’t cherish them, others are ready to snatch them away!””
“Fourth Sister-in-law, shall I throw him out?” the bodyguard respectfully asked Xiao Qian.
Having worked with Boss Yu for years, he knew the power of Xiao Qian, the Fourth daughter-in-law of the Old Yu Family, whom the boss held in high regard. Therefore, he treated Xiao Qian with extra courtesy.
In Ma Lu’s eyes, this courtesy seemed to mean something else.
Fourth Sister-in-law…This woman is not a mistress, she’s a fourth wife?!
“No need to throw. Treat our guests with respect. We are open for business. If he wishes to stay, let him. Just don’t let him or his people bother us.” Xiao Qian said carelessly but cruelly to Ma Lu, acting like a queen.
“I want you to see with your own eyes what you have lost.”
When some people miss out, it’s for a lifetime. Boss Qian intended to torment Ma Lu, to make him regret a lifetime. No one could trifle with the emotions of those around Boss Qian.
Xiao Qian left with a flourish. The prize award was about to start, and she had to receive her internal grand prize.
The bodyguard kindly advised Ma Lu, “If I were you, I would leave immediately with my family. Do not provoke our Fourth Sister-in-law.”
“I won’t leave!” He was not resigned yet. He didn’t believe that Xiao Qian, a “fourth wife”, could obliterate his two-year-long emotional investment. He decided to stay and put forth his last-ditch effort. He had to recapture Liu Mei’s money!
No, it was Liu Mei’s heart!!!
Good words could hardly dissuade a determined man. The bodyguard looked at Ma Lu sympathetically. The latter still had no idea who he was messing with, had he?
Never mind, as long as Fourth Sister-in-law had given orders not to interfere and cause trouble, he would fulfill his duty. He stayed, watching this oblivious idiot stay as well.
Fu Gui and Liu Mei sat in the front VIP seats, waiting for the awards. Liu Mei seemed a bit deflated after the breakup.
Her heart was in turmoil. Having broken up with her ex-boyfriend and seeing Fu Gui get into a skirmish with Ma Lu, she wanted to leave and sort out her relationships. But Fu Gui wouldn’t let her. He argued that she hadn’t done anything wrong and there was no need for her to leave first. If anyone should leave, it should be that meddling family!
It was at this moment that Fu Gui’s stubborn intellectualism surfaced completely. Today, he had shattered his mild and elegant image in Liu Mei’s eyes: he had fought with someone, and he had also said, “Your father is a claw.” But he still held Liu Mei’s hand…
The thought of him holding her hand made Liu Mei’s heart beat faster, and feelings of confusion surged within her. It was hard to define the mix of feelings.
Xiao Qian returned after handling Ma Lu’s case.
“Qian’er, hurry up, they’re about to start.” Fu Gui called Xiao Qian over. Xiao Qian nodded, sitting to Liu Mei’s left. Now that Liu Mei was seated between Xiao Qian and Fu Gui, she felt different from normal times, and her heart was in turmoil.
“Liu Mei!” Ma Lu shouted Liu Mei’s name as he entered, causing everyone to turn around.
The position was in the second-floor banquet hall of the sales office, filled with homeowners who signed contracts today. Hearing the voice, everyone turned around, including Liu Mei.
Ma Lu immediately looked at Liu Mei, his eyes full of intense love and unstirred affection.
As a result, Liu Mei just glanced at him and then turned away. His ardent gaze went in vain, but both Xiao Qian and Liao Fugui still looked at him, amazed at his shamelessness.
Ma Lu wanted to come over and find Liu Mei, but the bodyguard was still following. He had not forgotten his duty.
“Sir, you can’t come over here. If you persist, I will call my brothers to escort you out. Only homeowners are allowed in here. Do you have a property contract?”
“…” How could he have that! The woman who could afford a house had been snatched away!
Ma Lu had no choice but to leave. As soon as he stepped out, he saw his family looking annoyed.
“Where have you been! We couldn’t find you anywhere! The lottery has already started, and aren’t we supposed to eat after it? Why aren’t they letting us in? Where did Liu Mei go?” They seemed irritated. Mother Ma saw Liu Mei enter earlier and also wanted to get in, but was stopped at the entrance, which made her frustrated.
Ma Lu was even more upset, but he couldn’t tell Mother Ma that Liu Mei had dumped him.
“You all go back first. I’ve got some matters to sort out.”
“Didn’t we talk about having dinner?” Ma Qing was not satisfied, remembering the 250-dollar dress she bought yesterday, and she looked forward to having the luxurious buffet that was rumored to include lobster and abalone.
“What dinner! Just go!” Ma Lu was furious when he saw her.
“Mom, look at my brother!” Ma Qing was still clueless about the situation.
“Did you buy a house today, Little Lu?” Mother Ma was also clueless, dreaming about becoming a city dweller.
“All of you leave!” Ma Lu blew up. How annoying these embarrassing relatives were! They cost him the opportunity to move up. He really hated them!
The bodyguard standing aside watching couldn’t help but sneer. Oh, the ugliness of human nature! For money, people could argue with outsiders and turn against their own family. This man, who just told Fourth Sister-in-law how filial he was, didn’t seem all that filial after all…..
After dismissing his confused family, Ma Lu continued to wait at the door. He couldn’t see what was happening inside the banquet hall, but he could hear the sound from the audio speaker. Right now, they were presenting a show.

He would definitely wait for Liu Mei to come out.
The bodyguard went in and reported the situation to Xiao Qian. Boss Qian smiled. If he was willing to wait, then he could continue waiting, and brace himself to be humiliated.
