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

Cao Meng's smart glasses can adjust themselves. When looking at distant objects, they are like wearing a telescope, and when looking at close objects, they can be adjusted to a magnifying glass or microscope mode.

No wonder it's a high-tech product from 2053; it's far superior to Google Glass, which came out around 2013.

However, Cao Kun did not intend to produce these smart glasses, because at present, many technologies are not up to par. Even if they could be made with difficulty, the cost of "970" would be very expensive. Who would buy a smart pair of glasses worth 1 million US dollars?

Earning money like this is less worthwhile than continuing to run a hot pot restaurant.

Cao Kun glanced at the unconscious Lan Lan and sensed that Lan Lan harbored resentment towards her sister Lan Hong.

He didn't want them to continue like this, so he decided to let them be completely honest with each other. Therefore, Cao Kun carried Lan Lan to Lan Hong's room, so that the two of them would have no distance between them and no secrets between them.

Before leaving, Cao Kun glanced at the plum blossom mark on the white bed sheet, cut it off, and kept it as a keepsake.

The next morning, Lan Hong opened her eyes and found Lan Lan lying beside her. Surprised, she couldn't help but ask, "Lan Lan, what are you doing here?"

Lanlan herself was also very surprised. When she fainted last night, wasn't she in her room? How did she end up in Lanhong's room?

She immediately realized that Cao Kun had picked her up.

Why did Cao Kun bring her over?

Before Lan Lan could say anything, Lan Hong guessed, "Were you with Cao Kun last night too?"

Now that she'd been guessed, Lanlan decided not to hide anything. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll be with him after you fall asleep!"

Lan Hong never expected that Lan Lan would dare to steal her man!

She was also a little resentful. Cao Kun had no bottom line at all. After being with her, he could still accept Lan Lan!

She said to Lanlan in a serious tone, "Lanlan, listen to me, a man like Cao Kun, who juggles several relationships at the same time, is a typical playboy. You can't handle him!"

Her tone was strangely familiar to everyone, like a veteran actor advising a child star not to sell fake alcohol, saying that the industry was too complicated and you couldn't handle it. But then, the old guy turned around and started selling fake alcohol himself.

Lanlan scoffed, "It's not like you can handle it. If you can accept it, why can't I?"

Lan Hong was surprised by Lan Lan's attitude; the obedient and docile demeanor she used to have in front of her was completely gone.

"Are you sure you want to steal my man? Do you think you can win?"

Lanlan chuckled and said, "Just based on your attitude, I'm sure I can beat you!"

Lan Hong was somewhat surprised: "Is winning a man based on attitude? Isn't it based on looks, figure, temperament, cultivation, knowledge, and achievements?"

Lan Lan gave a cold laugh and said, "You think you are far superior to me in these aspects, right? But with Cao Kun, I am no worse than you in any way."

As for your career, you have been out of the legal profession for 10 years and it will take you a long time to achieve anything. I am no worse than you in this regard!

The most crucial point is that I'm willing to share with you, but if you can't, then Cao Kun will directly eliminate you from the competition...

Chapter 175 Elite Lawyer and Pretty Widow: Blue and Red Petrified!

Lan Hong was stunned. She never expected that Lan Lan would accept such an outrageous arrangement!

Lan Lan's courage likely stemmed from the courage Cao Kun gave her.

It's possible that Cao Kun said this to her, and also had Lan Lan tell Lan Hong that if she didn't want to share, then that would be the end of it.

Lan Hong looked at Lan Lan in disbelief, recalling the whole process of how she met Cao Meng.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have lost the initiative and was being led by the nose by Cao Meng.

If she calls to verbally abuse Cao Meng, she'll probably only be making a fool of herself.

Unable to contain her anger, Lan Hong called Li Na: "Li Na, Cao Meng came to see me last night. He not only slept with me, but also with Lan Lan. Is this scumbag really that casual? Is he really that shameless?"

Li Na chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, "Lan Hong, whether it's Cao Meng with you or Lan Lan, their love is mutual. Cao Meng hasn't violated your wishes, so what's the problem?"

Lan Hong was surprised by Li Na's attitude and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you angry at all? He had this kind of relationship with me and Lan Lan behind your back?"

Li Na chuckled and said, "Haven't you realized that Cao Meng is no ordinary man? So if I were to be the only one he dotes on, I would feel extremely pressured."

He practices Taoist internal energy cultivation, and if he doesn't have many women by his side, his health will suffer.

I understand his relationship with you all. I'm even grateful that you and Lanlan were willing to help me, share our burden, and also help Cao Meng recover his health..."

Lan Hong was stunned and completely petrified.

She originally wanted to denounce Cao Meng, and wanted to drag Li Na into it to put pressure on Cao Meng, forcing him to admit his identity and forcing him to separate from Lan Lan.

But I never expected that this would be the result.

Lan Hong found it hard to believe that Li Na would say such a thing.

She scoffed, "Lina, I don't believe any of this. It's all made up by him so he can openly pick up lots of girls..."

Li Na sighed and said, "Haven't I told you this many times before? You've experienced it yourself, so why don't you believe me? Didn't you have a very pleasant experience with him?"

Lan Hong said with shame and indignation, "I just felt that he loved me very much, and he was devoted to me. That's all."

"Isn't all that Taoist internal energy stuff you're talking about just nonsense?"

Li Na patiently said, "Think back to how much stronger he is than the average man in every aspect, such as strength, stamina, and reaction speed. This is a testament to his achievements in martial arts training..."

Lan Hong still doesn't believe in any Taoist internal energy cultivation techniques.

Li Na lost her patience and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, do you dare to go on dates with him every day for the next few days? If you can just get through a week, I'll help you persuade him to dote on you exclusively from now on, okay?"

Lan Hong, like Jiang Lai before her, was arrogant and conceited, thinking that she could not possibly have failed so badly and that it was impossible for Cao Meng to completely dominate her.

Lan Hong said, "I don't believe I can't do it. I'm sure I can conquer him and make him devoted to me!"

Li Na chuckled and said, "Just you wait, sooner or later you'll be begging for mercy on your knees!"

Chapter 176 Completely Conquering the Elite Lawyer, Mature Widow Lan Hong!

Lan Hong has always been a rather arrogant and conceited woman, which was very evident in her previous work as an elite lawyer.

She overestimated her abilities, both as a lawyer and as a woman.

Lan Hong didn't even last a week.

By the third night, Lan Hong was like someone who had been seriously ill, on the verge of death.

At this moment, she completely believed what Li Na had told her. If she continued to be so defiant, death might truly be what awaited her.

Lan Hong then took the initiative to apologize to Cao Meng, saying, "I now completely agree to you dating any woman, including Lan Lan..."

These words appear to flow smoothly, but they are actually spoken one word at a time with great difficulty, as if their energy might be waning at any moment.

Of course, Cao Meng knew that Lan Hong was just too exhausted and wouldn't die immediately.

This woman will need at least two weeks to recover even slightly.

"Ding dong! Congratulations, Master, you have successfully completed the fifth step (complete conquest) of the beautiful and mature widow, Blue and Red, while lying down."

The master is rewarded with physical enhancement, and all of the master's attributes increase by 10 points.

The owner will be rewarded with 10% of the shares in the company where Blue and Red originally worked, worth 10 billion!

This 10% stake is from her husband Sun Haohan's original company.

Now it's her uncle-in-law, Sun Chaoyue, who's in charge.

Originally, there was another very important person in their company, namely the deceased wife of the older brother, Sun Haohan, who worked alongside the two brothers.

He eventually made the company bigger and stronger, but his sister-in-law passed away prematurely due to illness.

Later, Lan Hong married her brother Sun Haohan and had a daughter.

Sun Chaoyue felt that this woman had not made much contribution to the company and should not enjoy so many shares in the inheritance.

So he made a fake will, leaving all of his brother's estate to himself and the son his brother had with his first wife, leaving nothing to Lan Hong and her daughter, and even freezing their bank accounts.

Lan Hong and Lan Lan returned to Quan Jing Law Firm because they wanted to use the platform to motivate Robin to represent them in a lawsuit against her brother-in-law.

But the inheritance lawsuit itself is a very troublesome matter. Robin still managed to become friends with Sun Chaoyue, the younger brother of the Blue and Red brothers, and learned from him that the will was not real at all.

Robin used this opportunity to persuade Sun Chaoyue to follow his brother's true wishes and give Lan Hong 15% of the shares.

Although Blue and Red received help from Robin and obtained shares worth 15 billion.

But she discovered that her feelings for Robin were completely gone, and there was no way to mend their broken relationship.

So a few days ago, she considered accepting an invitation from a Shanghai law firm.

She and Lanlan went there and found that they were not used to it in any aspect, whether it was work or life.

So she took Lanlan back to the capital to develop her career, and that's when she met Cao Meng.

The 10% stake that Cao Meng has now acquired actually belongs to other shareholders, and no one knows who it currently belongs to.

Their company's stock price is still rising steadily. Even during the 2015 stock market crash, it did not fall significantly, but maintained this strong upward trend. It is expected to reach its peak around 2020.

Many top-performing stocks have weathered the stock market crash at the end of 2015, with their prices continuing to rise.

For example, the most classic example is Moutai. The stock market crash in 2015 did not seriously damage Moutai. On the contrary, it soared to a stock price that other stocks could not match.

A large portion of the money Cao Meng had previously earned could have been used to buy Moutai. Buying Moutai meant he could simply sit back and win, without having to do anything else. In seven years, he could have made a net profit of over forty times (based on margin trading), which is more profitable than buying a house!

Chapter 177: Living off the beautiful and wealthy Lan Hong for 16 billion!

After Lan Hong was completely won over by Cao Meng, she devoted her whole heart to him.

She began to pay attention to Cao Meng's current career development, hoping that she could help Cao Meng and that she could gain a higher status in Cao Meng's heart.

This is why, when Cao Meng was dating Lan Hong, in addition to conquering her on the dating itself, he also had a certain influence on her spiritual level.

In other words, it's psychological manipulation (PUA), directly attacking her by saying that he didn't like her before and still doesn't love her that much... This is also Cao Meng's true inner thought; he can't truly fall in love with a sophisticated and self-serving woman like Lan Hong.

He was telling the truth, but in the actual communication process, it turned into a form of psychological manipulation (PUA) against 970 Blue and Red.

Lan Hong had never been treated like this by a man before, and she was immediately struck by it.

She fell for this, so in order to make Cao Meng value her even more, she decided to do more for him.

Cao Meng didn't tell her that he needed some funds, because saying it directly would seem too deliberate.

When Cao Meng's manipulation of Lan Hong reaches a certain point, Lan Hong will naturally discover how she can help him.

Just as Cao Meng had predicted, Lan Hong, a rather arrogant and haughty older sister, was completely captivated by Cao Meng, both physically and mentally.

She would actively think about how she could help Cao Meng and make him love her more.

She discovered that Cao Meng was currently investing in four projects simultaneously and was facing a tight budget. If he had more funds, his development would be much smoother.

Therefore, Lan Hong had the idea of ​​investing in Cao Meng's projects from the very beginning.

Because this money represented the 10 years of her youth that she had sacrificed, she was somewhat cautious.

She then sought out professionals to assess whether these four projects had any future potential.

She then discovered that many investors were very optimistic about Cao Meng's projects.

However, Cao Meng was unwilling to accept the involvement of those investors because they would often gamble with him and affect his specific operations, so Cao Meng refused them all.

Lan Hong discovered that these projects all had great potential, making her even more eager to invest.

However, Cao Meng rejected her investment immediately.

Lan Hong was very surprised and asked Cao Meng, "Honey, I sincerely want to help you. I'm not like those capitalists who are so twisted and want so much control over you. I won't interfere with the operation of your company!"

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "The reason I am unwilling to accept your investment is because I do not want our relationship to become so complicated."

I am even more unwilling to cause you losses because of the possibility of my failure in the future.

After all, you worked hard to earn those billions, sacrificing 10 years of your youth. Why don't you save them for your retirement?

He knew that if he readily accepted from the start, acting as if he couldn't be happier, it would inevitably make the woman suspicious.

So from the beginning, he acted as if he was considering Lan Hong's interests and refused Lan Hong's investment.

Lan Hong was even more moved when she discovered how kind and warm this man was. Little did she know that this was something Cao Meng had been planning since the very beginning of their relationship.

Lan Hong repeatedly asked for investment, saying that she was very optimistic about the company and was willing to invest all of her 16 billion yuan.

Cao Meng chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Isn't this practically asking me to live off this rich woman's 16 billion yuan?"

Chapter 178: A Date in the Office with the Stunning and Mature Woman Gan Jing!

Lan Hong said excitedly, "Honey, I really have high hopes for you and your project. I think your project can make a lot of money, go public, and become a trillion-dollar company."

Unless you're unwilling to let me help you get rich, and you don't love me at all, don't refuse me!

Since she had put it that way, Cao Meng had no choice but to agree, saying, "Seeing how sincere you are, it would be a real shame to refuse!"

Cao Meng accepted the investment from Lan Hong, a wealthy woman who was both beautiful and mature.

Lan Hong sold her original company's shares to her brother-in-law, Sun Chaoyue, for 16 billion yuan. Of this, 400 million yuan was used to invest in stocks with Cao Meng, and the remaining 12 billion yuan was distributed across four projects.
