Chapter 1494 Threat
"Tell me! What do you want to talk about?" Chen Lulu spread her hands.
Nan Yifeng's father had a stern face, like an iceberg in the cold night. His deep eyes revealed the calmness and sharpness of someone who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, as if he could see through people's hearts.
He knew very well what kind of person Chen Lulu was. This woman appeared gentle and charming on the surface, but in fact, she was a calculating cancer hidden in her heart.
Chen Lulu's shiny black curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her face was delicately made up, and her eyes were full of charm.
"Chen Lulu, wasn't the money I gave you enough? Why did you come back to disturb the lives of our family of three?" Nan Yifeng's father asked.
"Ha ha……"
She chuckled, and there seemed to be a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in her laughter.
"It seems that our great musician has really made up his mind to return to his family. He is so indifferent to me." Her voice was a little low, as if suppressed by an invisible force.
She slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the other person, revealing a trace of disappointment and sadness that was difficult to conceal.
"I've always treated you as a very important person, but now you treat me like this..."
Her words revealed a sense of grievance of being ignored, which made people feel pity for her. She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes revealed a pitiful look, like a wronged kitten.
As she spoke, Chen Lulu picked up the menu beside her and gently opened it, with a faint smile on her lips: "Let's order first, I'm hungry."
Her voice was still as soft and gentle as ever, as if it could captivate people, but Nan Yifeng's father just felt disgusted.
Chen Lulu could see it, but she didn't care. While looking at the menu, she glanced at Nan Nan Yi Feng's father out of the corner of her eye, and a hint of imperceptible calculation flashed in her eyes.
She knew in her heart that he no longer had the same passion for her as before, but she was unwilling to give up. She still wanted to get more from him, such as shares in Nan Corporation.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Lulu raised her head and looked at Nan Ao, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for the concern of Nan Yifeng's father.
Nan Yifeng's father glanced at Chen Lulu coldly, and a feeling of disgust surged in his heart.
He couldn't understand why he was attracted to this woman in the first place. Now it seemed that she was just a scheming woman who was greedy for fame and fortune.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't ask you out for dinner." Nan Ao said coldly. His voice was low and powerful, as if it came from an ice cellar, with unquestionable majesty.
His eyes were fixed on Chen Lulu, as if he wanted to see through her.
When Chen Lulu heard Nan Ao's words, the smile on her face froze slightly, but she quickly returned to her coquettish look.
She gently put down the menu, folded her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Don't be so heartless, I just want to have a meal with you."
She blinked, trying to impress Nan Ao with her innocent look.
However, Nan Yifeng's father remained unmoved. He remained expressionless and said coldly, "Chen Lulu, stop pretending. I know exactly what you're thinking. I called you out today because I have something important to tell you."
Seeing Nan Ao so determined, Chen Lulu was shocked and angry, but she knew that she couldn't lose her temper at this moment.
She bit her lip, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but soon replaced with an aggrieved look: "What do you want to say? I'm a little scared. Before, you were so kind and gentle to me, and now... you actually..."
Inside the restaurant, people came and went but the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder could not be dispelled, like a heavy lead plate pressing down on the city, making it hard to breathe.
Nan Yifeng's father clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and there was a hint of anger between his fingers.
He suppressed the rage boiling in his heart, and the hint of forbearance in his eyes was like a glimmer of light in the dark night. If it weren't for the self-cultivation he had developed over the years, he would have slammed the table and pointed at Chen Lulu's nose and started cursing.
"Chen Lulu!" Nan Yifeng's voice was low and powerful, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a chill that penetrated his bones. "I'm not here to reminisce about the past with you! Why did you go looking for Nan Yifeng's fiancée?!"
His gaze pierced Chen Lulu like a sharp blade, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.
Chen Lulu was originally leaning lazily on the back of the chair, but when she heard Jing Yuan's words, her body suddenly stiffened and a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her charming look.
She sat up slightly and gently smoothed the hair by her ear. A faint smile played on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes flickered a little: "Hey, sir, why are you so angry? I was just chatting with that girl, there's nothing else to it."
Nan Yifeng's father laughed in anger, but his smile was colder than ice: "Chat? Chen Lulu, do you think I will believe your nonsense? I know exactly what you are thinking!"
He stood up suddenly, and because of his violent movement, the chair behind him was moved back a few inches, making a harsh sound in the quiet teahouse.
"The relationship between you and me is ours...don't even think about taking advantage of the people around me."
Jing Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice was still trembling uncontrollably, "You know, we originally..." His eyes were full of determination, as if he wanted to completely cut off everything in the past.
Chen Lulu looked at Jing Yuan's resolute expression, and couldn't help feeling jealous and resentful.
She recalled the time when they had spent together, when he had treated her tenderly, but now he treated her like this for another woman.
Her eyes gradually became sinister, but a false smile still hung on the corner of her mouth: "Sir, you can't say that. Who can tell what happened in the past? Maybe you still have some feelings for me in your heart."
Hearing Chen Lulu's shameless words, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Chen Lulu and scolded her loudly.
"Chen Lulu, please stop being so stubborn! The thing I regret most in my life is that I once crossed paths with you, took you in as my apprentice, and carefully trained you, only to be tricked by you in the end. If you dare to touch Nan Yifeng's fiancée again, I will never let you go! Whether we had sex that night or not, only you know."
At this time, other guests in the restaurant cast strange looks at him, but he no longer cared about that.
He felt that the anger in his chest was about to erupt like a volcano. If he didn't have the last bit of rationality, he really wanted to rush up and slap this woman.
Chen Lulu looked at Jing Yuan's angry expression and felt a little happy in her heart.
She stood up, walked slowly to Jing Yuan, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "Let's walk."
The atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly solemn. The strong wind carried raindrops, which hit the window frames fiercely, making crackling sounds, as if God was cheering for this tense situation.
The hypocritical smile that Chen Lulu had on her face gradually disappeared like the remnants of clouds blown away by the wind.
She straightened her back, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity in the dark night, staring at Jing Yuan closely.
"Teacher...are you suffering from Alzheimer's?" Chen Lulu's voice suddenly turned icy cold, and every word sounded like it was fished out of an ice cellar.
"Whether you're willing to admit what happened that night or not, everyone in this circle knows that the relationship between you and me is anything but ordinary. How could such a thing, known to everyone, be easily erased? After all, we ended up living together!"
She raised her chin slightly, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, as if to say, no matter how much you deny, you can't change the established facts.
When Nan Yifeng's father heard this, his face turned ashen in an instant, like the gloomy sky before a storm.
His brows were furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands were tightly gripping the corner of the table. His knuckles turned white from the force, as if he wanted to crush the corner of the table.
His eyes widened as he glared at Chen Lulu, shouting, "Chen Lulu, stop lying here! That night, it was clearly you... Later, you said you were being followed, so I took you in out of kindness. I never thought you'd repay my kindness with hatred... You've been scheming against me time and time again."
"It's clearly me, what's wrong with that?"
Chen Lulu interrupted Jing Yuan without fear. She took a step forward, close to him, her eyes full of provocation.
"Even if I set you up that night, didn't you also... in the eyes of others, we were unclear. Once these rumors spread, it's like spilled water, there's no way to take it back."
Jing Yuan was so angry at Chen Lulu's words that he was shaking all over. He opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
He knew very well that Chen Lulu was a cruel and ruthless woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. Now that she had caught him, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles.
Chen Lulu looked at Nan Yifeng's father's angry and helpless expression, and a twisted sense of pleasure surged in her heart.
She sneered softly and continued, "Teacher, you know my personality. I'm the type of person who will do whatever it takes to get what I want. Besides, weren't you quite... happy back then?"
"To be frank, I used to be attracted by your talent and your status abroad, but now... I'm attracted by your wealth. The Nan Group is so big, so why not give me a piece of it?"
A hint of greed flashed in Chen Lulu's eyes, like a hungry wolf spotting delicious prey. "With your talent back home, I was sure to rise quickly in this art world. With your family background backing me up, those who once looked down on me will now bow down to me."
When Nan Yifeng's father heard Chen Lulu's straightforward and shameless words, he felt a wave of nausea in his heart.
He turned his head away in disgust, not wanting to look at Chen Lulu's ugly face again. He said coldly, "Chen Lulu, stop dreaming! I will never be a tool for you to cling to the powerful. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
Chen Lulu, however, seemed to have heard a huge joke. She burst into laughter, and the sound echoed in the quiet teahouse, sounding particularly harsh. "You're welcome? What are you rude to me about? Do you think you can still cover the sky with one hand like before? Don't forget, you have weaknesses too."
Nan Yifeng's father's heart tightened. He certainly knew who the weakness Chen Lulu was talking about.
A trace of worry flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his resolve: "Chen Lulu, if you dare to touch my wife, I will make you pay a terrible price!"
At this time, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was howling, as if it wanted to blow away all the injustices in the world.
And the battle in the restaurant is still going on... The strong wind and heavy rain are hitting the windows violently, as if countless angry fists are venting their dissatisfaction.
The world outside the window was completely shrouded in rain, with only the occasional flash of lightning, which split the night sky like a sharp blade, reflecting Chen Lulu's distorted and complacent face.
Chen Lulu's lips curled up into a malicious yet wanton smile. That smile was as deadly and dangerous as a poppy, yet it also revealed a twisted sense of pleasure. "I heard that Master's wife isn't in good health. If she sees a photo of you and me together, will her condition worsen?"
She deliberately dragged out the last word, and each word was like an ice-cold dagger, piercing Jing Yuan's heart straight.
Nan Yifeng's face turned pale as paper in an instant, as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
His body shook violently, as if being grabbed by an invisible giant hand, and he was filled with extreme anger and fear.
His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and his clenched fists loosened weakly. His eyes were full of panic and anger, and he stared at Chen Lulu, as if he wanted to burn her to ashes with his eyes.
"You...you actually..."
Nan Yifeng's voice became hoarse due to extreme anger, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "How can you be so vicious?!"
His chest heaved violently and he gasped for breath, like a fish thrown ashore, desperately trying to get enough air.
Chen Lulu looked at Nan Yifeng's father's painful and angry expression, and the smugness in her eyes grew stronger. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said casually, "How am I vicious? I'm just reminding you. After all, once some things are exposed, the consequences can be disastrous."
She folded her hands in front of her chest and tilted her head slightly. Her posture was like that of a winner who was in control of the situation and was admiring her opponent's embarrassment.
Nan Yifeng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but his trembling hands betrayed his inner panic. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "What do you want?"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, carrying with it a bone-chilling chill and endless anger.
Chen Lulu was waiting for these words. A greedy glint flashed in her eyes, and a calculating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "It's simple. I want you to use your Nan family's connections and resources to help me organize a grand personal art exhibition. Moreover, the works on display must be treasures from well-known collectors. I want everyone to know my strength and status."
Her voice was full of confidence and determination, as if everything was already a done deal.
"in addition,"
Chen Lulu paused, a lustful light flashed in her eyes, "I want 10% of Nan's shares"
Nan Yifeng took a step back, avoiding Chen Lulu's hand. His eyes were filled with disgust and determination: "You're dreaming! I will never agree to your unreasonable demands. If you dare to leak those photos, I will ruin your reputation and make you pay a price more painful than you can imagine!"
Chen Lulu's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her vicious look. "Teacher, don't forget, I have the upper hand over you now. If you disagree, you know the consequences. By then, Master's wife's condition will worsen, and Nan Yifeng will hate you forever. Do you think you can still survive in this circle?"
At this time, the rain outside the window was getting heavier, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
The battle in the teahouse had reached a stalemate, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe...
