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

Her appearance and temperament actually convey a sense of "I'm a bad woman, I'm not someone to mess with," which is somewhat similar to Wang Manchun from the TV series "The Disguiser."

Although Lan Hong has questionable character, she is indeed very beautiful. She is tall, radiant, and exudes a mature, sophisticated aura.

Robin was still hung up on her back then, and judging from her appearance, it was quite convincing.

Otherwise, if it were Dai Xi instead, and Robin were to say that he still couldn't forget her, that would be a bit far-fetched.

The moment Lan Hong appeared, a profound truth came to Cao Meng's mind: cherish good girls, and don't waste bad girls.

A bad woman like Lan Hong, a wickedly beautiful woman, shouldn't be wasted.

Moreover, Lan Hong is currently a beautiful widow whose husband has only recently passed away. She is a poignant and beautiful widow, worthy of exploration.

Li Na never expected to run into her nemesis on the streets of the capital.

Lan Hong didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, Cao Meng said with a joking smile, "Lan Hong, with your observation skills, you shouldn't be a lawyer!"

"You should just marry another wealthy man with health problems and inherit another fortune; that would be more suitable for you!"

Lan Hong's originally exquisite and beautiful face, with its unique rosy complexion, has now suddenly turned ashen.

What kind of bastard is this? It's one thing to say he's not suited to be a lawyer, but to actually say he'll find a husband with health problems to inherit a second estate is utterly despicable!

It's as if I'm some venomous beauty who poisoned her husband and stole the family fortune.

Lan Hong glared fiercely at Cao Meng and said sternly, "Who are you? What gives you the right to say such things? I'll sue you for defamation!"

Hearing Cao Meng's sarcastic remarks, Li Na couldn't help but chuckle.

The boss is hilarious; that was absolutely brilliant.

Li Na smiled charmingly and said, "Lan Hong, please calm down. Let me introduce you. This is my current boss, Cao Meng, who now owns three companies."

One of them is the famous Haidilao hot pot restaurant, and the other two are internet technology companies.

We have now secured 5 million RMB in Series A funding from Kedong!

Lan Hong was taken aback. She never expected that a guy who looked so handsome and young, like a pretty boy, could get Series A funding from the Kedong Group, and a whopping 5 million yuan. What a generous offer!

This kid has a bright future ahead of him, much brighter than Robin's shaky, soon-to-close-down law firm.

However, Lan Hong did not admit that she had problems with her observation and judgment just now, nor did she apologize for saying that Cao Meng was Li Na's kept man.

Instead, she continued to berate him from a superior position: "Mr. Cao, I don't care about your Series A funding or your hot pot restaurant. I just want to ask you, why did you maliciously slander me just now?"

What do you mean I married a husband with poor health to inherit an estate?

Apologize to me immediately, or I'll call the police right now!

This woman was always so arrogant and self-righteous, and she rarely, almost never, apologized to anyone.

She is a typical woman who uses her beauty to commit crimes.

But she was beautiful enough that she used her beauty to commit crimes, and most people tolerated it.

After all, Robin was the absolute male lead in the movie "The Elite Lawyer" back then. Robin was extremely tolerant of his ex-girlfriend, so what could others say?

The problem is, this isn't a universe exclusive to elite lawyers; it's a composite universe where only one protagonist makes the decisions: Cao Meng.

Cao Meng couldn't stand her tendency to abuse her beauty.

Cao Meng smiled jokingly and said, "Sure, you can call the police right now. It would be best to contact the media and get all the news media people here. I can say this sentence verbatim to all my friends in the media, courts, and legal professions."

But if I tell you, would you dare let it spread?

Lan Hong's face turned ashen. She realized that this young man, who looked like a harmless and innocent pretty boy, was actually quite difficult to deal with.

Although Cao Meng's words were slanderous, if they were to spread, almost everyone would immediately think that her husband's sudden illness and rapid death might have been partly due to her as his wife.

Many people might immediately think of the case of Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang.

They might even put a picture of her face on it, with a voiceover saying that Da Lang is taking medicine, and her reputation would be ruined instantly. She would immediately become a venomous beauty condemned by everyone.

At that point, she will be socially dead.

Even if it turns out that she had nothing to do with her husband's death, her reputation is already ruined.

Cao Meng will at most apologize for his irresponsibility, and he won't be harmed at all. The one who will be most hurt is her.

So Lan Hong immediately understood the benefits, her face turned ashen, and she said through gritted teeth, "Fine, you've got guts! We'll meet again someday!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

But at this moment, Cao Meng stopped her and said mockingly, "Lawyer Lan Hong, you just slandered me. You said I was a gigolo kept by my secretary Li Na. This has greatly damaged my reputation, caused me serious mental damage, and caused irreparable harm to my soul. I want you to compensate me for my mental distress!"

Lan Hong hadn't expected this guy to be so difficult to deal with, actually turning the tables on her by retaliating against her for slandering, framing, and damaging his reputation.

Lan Hong shook her silver teeth. Over the years, relying on her outstanding beauty, high looks and good figure, she could be said to have no obstacles. No matter where she went, people would open doors for her and she was rarely harassed, except for that brother-in-law with whom she had a very bad relationship.

I never imagined that one day I would encounter a man who would show me such disrespect.

Lan Hong smiled contemptuously and said, "You want compensation for emotional distress, right? Name your price, and I'll transfer it to you right away!"

Lan Hong inherited her husband's fortune, instantly becoming a billionaire with assets exceeding one billion yuan. She was so wealthy and powerful that she believed everything in the world could be solved with money.

She was too lazy to waste words with Cao Meng and was ready to just throw money at him.

Looking at her haughty and pretty face, Cao Meng smiled and said, "100 billion!"

Lan Hong jumped up in anger, shouting, "100 billion! Why don't you just rob a bank!"

Cao Meng shrugged and said, "Robbing a bank is illegal. As a lawyer, you knowingly broke the law and actually instigated me to rob a bank!"

Li Na, call the police immediately! There's a lawyer here who's breaking the law and instigating people to rob a bank!

Li Na was laughing so hard she was practically hysterical, her body swaying and shaking.

Fortunately, Cao Meng had just bought her a loose-fitting outfit that concealed her good figure; otherwise, when she laughed heartily, those men's eyes would have been drawn to her.

Lan Hong was furious; she never expected to encounter such a scoundrel.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't try to argue with me. Asking for 100 billion is simply unreasonable!"

Cao Meng smiled knowingly and said, "You said you could satisfy any number you wanted. I thought you were so wealthy that you must be worth hundreds of billions. I didn't expect you couldn't even come up with 100 billion. So poor, yet you act so arrogantly. It's really pathetic..."

Li Na almost burst out laughing again. The boss was simply the nemesis of Lan Hong, that arrogant woman who used her beauty to bully others.

Lan Hong stomped her foot in anger, rolled her eyes at Cao Meng, and said, "You talk as if you have a lot of money!"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "I may not have any money, but I won't spout the nonsense of 'you name a number and I'll transfer it to you right away.' If you don't have the ability, don't brag!"

Lan Hong has rarely encountered a man in recent years who could make her so angry that she almost faint.

She glared fiercely at Cao Meng, as if she wanted to remember him forever, even if he turned to ashes.

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Ms. Lan Hong, please don't look at me so affectionately, or I'll mistakenly think you've fallen in love with me."

Although I'm not a very good man, I generally won't kick down a widow's door or bully orphans and widows!

Lan Hong was almost driven mad by Cao Meng again.

She had always been very oblivious to the fact that she was a widow. She always felt relieved that her husband was dead and that she could bravely pursue her happiness.

She didn't want the stereotypes and constraints of traditional society.

At this moment, someone followed her nose and said, "You are a widow, an orphan and a widow," as if a very sad melody was playing at any moment, serving as a commentary on her tragic life.

Lan Hong was dressed in a fashionable haute couture outfit, looking very elegant and like a noble lady.

Then someone said she was a widow, and those who had praised her for her beauty all showed strange expressions.

It turned out she was a widow, a woman who had lost her husband, a woman who seemed to carry an ominous aura.

Just then, a very mournful suona melody began to play.

With a loud cry, someone immediately started crying: "Oh my god..."

Lan Hong tried her best to cultivate a noble and elegant image for herself, but it was shattered in that instant.

She was now completely bewildered, utterly bewildered in the wind? She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Cao Meng: "...Don't call me a widow anymore, don't call me an orphan and widow anymore, you're really going to drive me crazy!"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "You just lost your husband, what else could you be but a widow? Do you perhaps like using the Japanese term for widow? Oh, I like the widow series..."

A rare look of reminiscence crossed his face, and he seemed to be savoring something as he clicked his tongue in admiration.

Lan Hong was absolutely furious. This bastard had completely projected himself into the female protagonists of those widow-themed movies, probably imagining a whole new world of characters in that instant.

Strangely enough, when his eyes swept over me, it felt as if I was completely naked.

Lan Hong glared at him fiercely and was about to turn and leave.

Seeing this, Li Na, who was laughing so hard she was shaking, stepped forward and stopped Lan Hong.

She pursed her lips, forcing a smile, and said, "Ms. Lan Hong, I just found out you're a widow. Please accept my condolences. Just now, you came over and made some hurtful remarks, saying my boss was my kept man. This has caused me a lot of harm. You must apologize to me and my boss and compensate me for the emotional distress!"

Lan Hong gritted her teeth in anger, but forcibly suppressed her rage and said, "Can you two stop being so boring?"

Hi, I was just joking with you earlier. You can't take a joke like that!

Cao Meng shook his head, disgusted by this kind of person who was clearly attacking someone maliciously, yet when the other party turned hostile, said, "I was just joking with you." He was so unable to take a joke, it was really boring and low-class.

Cao Meng looked at her with amusement and said, "Everything I just told you was a joke. Why are you so angry? You look like you're about to explode with anger!"

You really have no manners, no tolerance, and no sense of humor. I was just joking with you, and you got this angry!

Lan Hong was so angry her mouth almost twisted into a crook. That bastard, all those words he just said were just playing with my emotions.

Now they're giving me a taste of my own medicine, saying I can't take a joke. I'm speechless.

Just as Lan Hong was fuming and speechless, Cao Meng suddenly calmly said, "Lan Hong, you were doing so well in Shanghai, why did you suddenly come back to Beijing? Did something happen?"

His sudden concern caught Lan Hong off guard, and she didn't even have time to react.

She answered bluntly, "I can't adapt to that law firm, I can't get along with them, and I'm not used to life there. I'd rather go back to Beijing!"

After she finished answering, she felt a bit taken aback. Why did she answer his questions? This bastard's sudden concern was really awkward.

It's right that she felt awkward; Cao Meng had no good intentions towards her.

Cao Meng continued, "Instead of you and your sister wandering around and joining an unfamiliar law firm, you might as well go back to Quan Jing Law Firm. There, you'll find familiar old colleagues. All the senior lawyers from before have left, and now there are only a few people left. They are in dire need of manpower right now, and if you join, you will definitely be able to become a senior partner..."

Lan Hong stared at Cao Meng in astonishment. What was wrong with this guy? He had just made things so bad for her, and now he was suddenly showing her such concern. She couldn't believe it!

Li Na was also a little confused at this moment. Cao Meng, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly concerned about Lan Hong?

Was he also captivated by Lan Hong's exquisite and beautiful face and tall figure?

But at that moment, Cao Meng changed the subject: "After you join Quanjing Law Firm, I will take over your property, leaving you with nowhere to work and forcing you to close down!"

"Then, all of you elite lawyers will be kicked out, hmph, Serves you right for calling me a gigolo!"

Lan Hong was furious and flustered. This bastard's series of concerns ultimately led to him telling her to get out. She really wanted to bite him to death!

Cao Meng was already prepared to take over the Quan Jing Law Firm.

After all, he has now bought the entire two-story law firm in Quanjing.

What's missing now is the property rights to the Quanjing Law Firm.

The original homeowner had a long-standing friendship with Robin and was willing to support him to the end.

However, things might change after Cao Meng and Li Na tonight...

Chapter 126 Finally, I ate the charming and alluring Li Na!

Lan Hong didn't want to say anything more to Cao Meng. She felt that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, and this man would always find fault with her words.

This was the first time Lan Hong had experienced that when a man didn't respect her, she was truly helpless and constantly getting beaten up.

Her previous arrogant and domineering attitude, which relied on her beauty to bully others, vanished completely after Cao Meng's blow.

Lan Hong realized that if she continued to stay at the scene, she would eventually be driven crazy by Cao Meng.

She turned to Li Na and said, "Try to control your boss, stop him from arguing with me again!"

Li Na also felt that Cao Meng's attitude towards Lan Hong was a bit excessive. Just because Lan Hong initially said that he was her kept man, he shouldn't attack her like this.

Li Na clung to Cao Meng's arm and whispered sweetly in his ear, "Boss, don't take it to heart."

She has always been arrogant, and now that she has inherited a large fortune, she is even more disdainful of everyone.

Why waste our time arguing with her? Let's go back to the villa!

Li Na was still thinking about how tonight she would hand over herself, which she had kept sealed away for more than 30 years, completely to Cao Meng.

She didn't want their date to be ruined by someone as unrelated as Lan Hong.
