Urban drama: Starting with marrying the beautiful and wealthy Jiang Lai

Yang Tao asked, "Why are you shaking your head?"

Cao Meng said, "This Lan Weiwei is really out of her mind; she still hasn't figured it out."

"I really need to teach her a lesson, to let her know how despicable she is right now!" Fei

That swindler cheated her best friend out of a lot of money and then disappeared, but somehow he hooked up with her again later. (Lu)

He was already married, but refused to give her any official status. Even when he returned from abroad, he only brought her a keychain, without giving her any money.

And yet, Lan Weiwei was still willing to follow him. (The last phrase, "酒," appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another context. It translates to "wine.")

This seems particularly unreasonable in the context of "Let's Get Married". (Seven)

That damned swindler Li Wei isn't as handsome, dashing, and charming as Cao Meng, who could get Zhu Suosuo for free multiple times. I...

That guy's looks are so-so, I don't know why he was able to completely fool Lan Weiwei.

I guess a scammer is a scammer, especially good at fooling women. They can spout a whole bunch of free sweet nothings, perfectly satisfying a woman's emotional needs. (Durian)

He might be like the con artists in the "pig butchering scam" in northern Myanmar, someone who has specifically studied women and knows how to cater to their desires, thus able to completely deceive them.

...Baba

Scammers using the "pig butchering" scam specifically exploit online dating apps to lure victims like Lan Weiwei into investing in so-called futures contracts, essentially engaging in gambling—a form of telecommunications fraud.

Scammers first prepare a seemingly perfect, positive persona and a set of dating tactics—essentially "pig feed"—and refer to social networking platforms as "pigpens." Within these platforms, they search for individuals they've targeted, whom they internally refer to as "pigs"—their victims.

Then, the scammers use a complete internal script to establish a seemingly normal romantic relationship with the victim—a process they internally call "raising a pig" first.

Once Lan Weiwei and her followers are hooked, they will naturally swindle money from them, a process they internally refer to as "slaughtering the pig."

⑧④① The schemes here are all designed by a professional team, a kind of "mind-reading" emotional science, specifically designed to control people with weak willpower, making many people fall into the "trap" they have set up step by step!

Scammers will first select targets they deem suitable.

They target older, single individuals with a certain level of financial stability to scam.

Then these scammers go to various dating apps, including marriage and dating websites, social apps, and local dating groups, to search for and target what they deem suitable.

Then, take advantage of the fact that these people are lonely, yearn for love, and are eager to find a partner and start a family, and actively approach them to show concern.

These scammers use online images and pre-planned research to create a persona of a desirable "perfect lover."

If the target of the scam is a single woman like Lan Weiwei, the scammer's persona is designed as: "elite talent," highly educated, high-income, and a senior executive of a large company—the so-called "tall, rich, and handsome."

Moreover, this person is witty, humorous, gentle, and considerate, but because they are so focused on their career, they have missed out on marriage, or this person has experienced betrayal by their partner and suffered severe emotional trauma.

After a period of showing concern and care, the other party's trust and dependence were gained.

After adding the other party as a friend, the scammer will use all sorts of sweet talk and other methods to gain the trust of single women like Lan Weiwei.

Once Lan Weiwei's group has built up a certain level of trust in the scammers (when the scammers believe the time is right), they will begin to encourage Lan Weiwei and her followers to make various investments.

The scammers will process the scam through the backend of their website. They will first let the fans make a little money so that they can easily trap them (similar to casting a long line to catch a big fish)!

After experiencing the initial success of investments lured by scammers, the scammers will then use various methods to induce them to continue making large investments.

Subsequently, Lan Weiwei and her ilk gradually realized that when they were not making money or started losing money, and when they tried to withdraw their funds from the investment websites guided by the scammers, they would find that they could no longer successfully withdraw their funds.

At this point, Lan Weiwei and her friends came to their senses. When they tried to contact their so-called perfect "boyfriends" and "girlfriends" again, they realized that they could no longer reach them.

Their boyfriends or girlfriends have disappeared without a trace.

In "pig butchering scams," women are more likely to fall for the scam, with a much higher number of victims than men!

……

The scammer Li Wei that Yang Tao and Lan Weiwei encountered actually felt like an early form of "pig butchering scam".

However, in reality, Li Wei actually used fake academic credentials and a fake resume to create the identity of a senior executive in a company, thus completely deceiving Lan Weiwei.

From this perspective, it's not fair to blame Lan Weiwei for being all looks and no brains; it's just that these swindlers are too cunning.

In real life, many high-achieving students may be cheated out of their money or even sexually assaulted by scammers.

The reason is that they have spent their entire lives studying fraud, and now a team behind the scenes is teaching them how to deceive people.

Those who were deceived were ordinary people like us, who had never been exposed to such things before, so being deceived was inevitable.

Cao Meng decided to save Lan Weiwei because of her hot figure.

He then said to Yang Tao, "Alright, let's meet her tonight!"

Cao Meng didn't need to do any groundwork. As long as Yang Tao said that Cao Meng was her boyfriend and Cao Meng showed off his material wealth, Lan Weiwei would most likely rush to him and try to steal Yang Tao's boyfriend.

This woman is despicable. Cao Meng cares less about Lan Weiwei than he cares about Zhu Suosuo. He can treat her as a sex partner, or even worse, a sex toy.

Chapter 111 The stunningly beautiful but fierce Lan Weiwei seduces him in front of her best friend Yang Tao!

Upon seeing Lan Weiwei, Cao Meng immediately asked the system to check whether Lan Weiwei was pregnant.

In the original timeline of "Let's Get Married," Lan Weiwei was pregnant with the child of that conman Li Wei, and it was an ectopic pregnancy. This kind of miscarriage means she can't have children again, so the honest guy who ended up taking her in is in a terrible situation.

The system stated, "After testing, Lan Weiwei is not pregnant, and she doesn't have much experience with pregnancy!"

Cao Meng was slightly taken aback. It was foreseeable that Lan Weiwei was not pregnant, because Cao Meng had intervened relatively early, before she had become pregnant.

As for her lack of past experience, it was truly surprising.

A woman like Lan Weiwei is incredibly attractive to men. Anyone who sees her large breasts would be completely mesmerized and would definitely pursue her relentlessly.

It turned out that this woman didn't have much experience, which was rather strange.

It's completely understandable, because this woman is love-struck. After being deceived by that conman Li Wei, she couldn't let go of other men.

She remained immersed in her fantasy of a love between two people and did not date any other men.

Li Wei, this swindler, has a family and children, and is also a senior executive in a company, so he doesn't have much time to spend with Lan Weiwei.

Moreover, a scammer like this might not only deceive Lan Weiwei, but might only meet her once every month or two.

Lan Weiwei came straight here after work, probably because she didn't have time to change out of her yoga clothes.

The yoga clothes stretched her body tightly, and although she wasn't exposed at all, her figure was so stunning that all the men and even women couldn't help but turn around to look again.

I bet they've never seen such a stunningly beautiful woman before.

Looking at Lan Weiwei from the front now, Cao Meng realized that she was indeed a great beauty.

It looked terrifying in the original timeline.

In this timeline, perhaps due to spiritual energy or some other reason, all the women are one or two sizes larger than in the original timeline.

Lan Weiwei was no exception, which made the experience even more thrilling than in the original timeline.

When faced with a woman like this, it's hard not to be drawn to her.

However, Cao Meng surprisingly behaved like a very upright gentleman.

He didn't look at her inappropriately, so his gaze wasn't on her figure, but fixed on her eyes.

Yang Tao introduced Cao Meng: "This is my best friend Lan Weiwei. Weiwei, and this is my boyfriend Cao Meng!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Lan Weiwei looked at Cao Meng and said, "Mr. Cao, can you please save my boyfriend? I'll agree to any condition as long as you can get him out."

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "The first thing I want to ask is, do you know he's a fraud?"

Lan Weiwei choked up as she said, "I know he used fake academic credentials and a fake resume to get his current position, and I also know he cheated his company out of some money, but he never lied to me!"

Cao Meng and Yang Tao exchanged a glance and shook their heads. This woman was truly beyond saving.

Fortunately, Cao Meng now knows psychotherapy, hypnosis, and even a whip.

He believed that only he could save and spur this woman on, enabling her to turn over a new leaf and become a better person.

Yang Tao gritted her teeth and asked, "Lan Weiwei, do you know that he cheated me out of all my money, transferred all my savings, maxed out all four of my bank cards, and only left me with a car loan that I still have to pay off? All these years I've worked day and night just to pay off these debts."

"And you, knowing full well where he was, knowing full well he cheated me out of my money, you still stayed with him and still lied to me!"

Lan Weiwei, still with tears in her eyes, said, "Taozi, he told me that he had no choice back then. Because of a failed investment, many people were after him, and he had no choice but to temporarily use your money to cover the losses. He said he would definitely pay you back when he made money in the future..."

Yang Tao gritted her teeth and angrily retorted, "This is a common trick of swindlers, and you actually fell for it."

"Do you really believe he'll pay me back? He stole a high-ranking position in the company using fake degrees and a fake resume; he should be rich by now. Why hasn't he paid me back?!"

Cao Meng sneered, "Lan Weiwei, according to the investigation by their company, he has made tens of millions over the years by stealing high positions to become a senior executive in the old company, managing suppliers, charging fees and embezzling. How much money did he give you to spend? How much benefit did you get from your dealings with him?"

A man who makes so much money won't even give you a decent piece of jewelry. Do you really think he loves you? Silly girl, wake up!

Lan Weiwei seemed to have no idea that this man had actually earned so much money. In the end, when he went abroad, he only bought himself a keychain, which was not worth much at all.

The thought that this guy earns tens of millions and keeps telling me that he's having financial difficulties and needs money everywhere, and that he'll definitely buy me a house and a car when he makes a lot of money in the future, is just a pie in the sky. In the end, he just doesn't want to spend money on me and just wants to get something for free!

Lan Weiwei suddenly burst into tears because she felt that all these years had been a waste of her time.

Her soft sobs evoked pity in her best friend, Yang Tao.

Cao Meng, however, watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking, "Yang Tao, you seem to pity her. She'll steal your boyfriend right away."

After crying, Lan Weiwei realized that there was no need for her to fight for that damned liar anymore, and she finally woke up.

She only asked Yang Tao now, "Yang Tao, you're not working at that four-star hotel anymore, where are you working now?"

Yang Tao considers Lan Weiwei her best friend, but Lan Weiwei is indifferent to Yang Tao.

Yang Tao has been working at Haidilao for so long, but Lan Weiwei still doesn't know.

Yang Tao sighed and said, "I told you last time, I'm now an operations manager at Haidilao!"

Lan Weiwei asked with some surprise, "Why did you go to work at a hot pot restaurant?"

Yang Tao said, "You can't underestimate Haidilao. We only have one store, but our revenue already exceeds that of the four-star hotel where I work."

We already have more than a dozen branches, and in the future we will open branches all over the country, eventually reaching hundreds or even thousands of branches...

"Once we have several thousand branches, we can go public and ring the bell!"

Yang Tao said this because she could tell that Lan Weiwei was somewhat disdainful of her going to work at the hot pot restaurant.

They appear to be best friends, but in reality, they are engaged in fierce competition.

This started with their mothers. When Yang Tao's mother and Lan Weiwei's mother were in the cultural troupe, they competed for the position of the troupe leader. Lan Weiwei's mother won, and Yang Tao's mother lost.

The infighting among them has been passed down from their mothers' generation to Lan Weiwei and Yang Tao's generation.

Actually, Lan Weiwei is really ridiculous. You're just a yoga instructor, yet you have the nerve to look down on someone who's an operations manager at a hot pot restaurant.

Lan Weiwei was taken aback when she heard what Yang Tao said and couldn't help but ask, "Opening so many branches must require a lot of financial support, right? Where do you get your funds?"

Yang Tao didn't think too much at this moment and said, "Cao Meng currently has several hundred million yuan in funds that are being invested one after another."

He is now making a steady stream of money through stock investments.

The initial investment of tens of millions has now grown to hundreds of millions.

He has made money in other places and now has about 10 billion yuan in funds.

Moreover, we can apply for bank loans. The banks see that our hot pot restaurant is thriving and has now become the most popular hot pot restaurant in Beijing. When we open a branch, we can get some start-up loan support, and we can even borrow hundreds of millions of yuan..."

Lan Weiwei found Cao Meng and Yang Tao because she heard from others that Cao Meng and Yang Tao had caused a scene at Li Wei's company, which led to Li Wei being taken away.

That person told her that the one who tied the knot must untie it, and perhaps Cao Meng and Yang Tao withdrawing their accusations would help save Li Wei.

The person who told Lan Weiwei at the time didn't know much about Yang Tao and Cao Meng's background.

Lan Weiwei hadn't investigated the matter thoroughly, but now, hearing Yang Tao say this, Lan Weiwei's eyes grew brighter as she looked at Cao Meng.

She originally thought of Cao Meng as just an ordinary handsome guy, except that he was more handsome than any other man she had ever seen.

She'd seen plenty of handsome men pursuing her, but almost all of them were all looks with no substance.

Lan Weiwei had seen her parents struggle to make ends meet with their meager retirement pensions from the performing arts troupe, so she made up her mind early on that she must find a rich man.

She didn't care about the other person's appearance; she only cared about how superior the material life he could provide for her.

It's just a pity that her brain didn't develop properly; all she developed was her body, and she was completely fooled by that damn liar.

That damn conman is indeed rich, but he just won't spend it on her.

That damn liar wasn't good-looking, he was even a bit ugly. Looking back now, Lan Weiwei felt she really wasn't worth it. She should have gone to find a man like Cao Meng who was both handsome and rich.

Now, seeing Cao Meng and hearing that he had 10 billion yuan in assets at such a young age, that 10 billion yuan figure was like a golden light, making Cao Meng look magnificent and dazzling in Lan Weiwei's eyes, instantly attracting Lan Weiwei strongly.

Lan Weiwei felt that Cao Meng was getting more and more handsome, and in her eyes, his attractiveness had completely surpassed that of the swindler Li Wei from back then.
