Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Upon hearing the word "cheating," Li Menghan froze completely, as if struck by lightning.

He stared wide-eyed at Dai Yuqian in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In that instant, the sounds of the wind and traffic on the street seemed to disappear, and only those two words were buzzing in his ears.

After a long while, he finally found his voice and uttered a dry, hoarse sentence:

"Are you... serious about that?"

Dai Yuqian looked at him, a smile that was more like a grimace appearing on her lips:

"You're not serious? Would I joke with you about something that would ruin my reputation?"

Li Menghan clutched her head in anguish, her fingers gripping her hair tightly.

He didn't believe it.

He simply couldn't believe that Dai Yuqian would cheat on him.

They seemed so compatible and happy together.

Just the night before last, they had dinner together, went shopping, and she even accepted his gift.

How could he possibly cheat on her right away?

unless……

Suddenly, a man's shadowy figure flashed through Li Menghan's mind, along with what her sister had told her that night.

That student council president, that man who drives a Porsche.

He recalled that on New Year's Eve, Dai Yuqian didn't reply to his messages all day, and he couldn't get through to her on the phone.

It wasn't until later that his sister told him that she saw Dai Yuqian get into that man's car.

Although Dai Yuqian explained that it was for work that night, he chose to believe her, thinking the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

But now, considering her own admission of "cheating," and recalling all the unusual things that happened that day...

Even if Li Menghan was stupid, she realized that something was wrong.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Dai Yuqian, and asked in a trembling voice:

"That day... on New Year's Eve, you went out to play ball with that club president. Did you do something you shouldn't have?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuqian, who had been indifferent, suddenly became anxious.

She retorted loudly:

"How can you say that? Even though I cheated on you, I didn't do anything to betray you!"

Dai Yuqian spoke these words with a strong sense of self-righteousness and in a loud voice, as if only in this way could she cover up her inner guilt.

But she knew best what had actually happened that day.

In the bar, in the car, in the hotel room, although she was forced, although she was threatened, it did happen.

But in her heart, it wasn't something she did willingly, so she didn't want to admit that she was that kind of despicable woman.

Hearing this, Li Menghan actually believed it.

Did I do anything to betray him?

Does that mean it was just a spiritual relationship, or that no real relationship occurred?

Li Menghan, as if grasping at the last straw, took a hasty step forward:

"So that means things haven't reached the point of no return, and we still have a chance to get back together, right?"

"Sissi, as long as you come back, I can pretend nothing happened!"

Seeing Li Menghan's humble appearance, Dai Yuqian felt extremely distressed.

But she knew that if she didn't act ruthlessly, he wouldn't give up.

Song Hao has photos; he could expose everything at any time.

And with the stranger's threats, she really didn't dare to gamble with her life.

So she took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

You can't compare to him.

Li Menghan was stunned, then a desolate, cold smile appeared on her face:

"Can't compare? Can't compare to what?"

"Is it because he's richer than me? You're interested in him driving a Porsche, but look down on me, a poor guy delivering food on an electric scooter?"

My sister said that day that the guy drives a sports car worth millions.

In this respect, he truly lost completely.

In order to completely sever Li Menghan's hopes, Dai Yuqian gritted her teeth and followed his words:

"That's right, I'm only after his money."

"Li Menghan, I'm a girl too, and I'm vain too. I want to buy designer bags, ride in luxury cars, and have a life and love free from material worries. It's that simple."

"You can't give me these things, but he can."

Hearing these words, Li Menghan felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.

But looking into Dai Yuqian's eyes, he believed that what she said was the truth.

It turns out that this year-long relationship ultimately lost to reality and money.

He was not reconciled.

I'm really not willing to accept this.

Li Menghan clenched her fists and blurted out almost without thinking:

"What if... what if I also became rich? Would you still get back together with me?"

Dai Yuqian paused for a moment, then shook her head and said helplessly:

"Li Menghan, are you trying to tell me that fortunes change every thirty years, and one should never underestimate a young person's potential?"

"Yes, I believe you might have money in the future. But even though I'm young, I don't want to wait that long; I want it now."

"It won't take that long!"

Li Menghan interrupted her loudly, her eyes revealing an unprecedented determination:

"I can prove it to you today!"

"I, Li Menghan, am no worse than him, and I'm much richer than him!"

At that moment, Li Menghan thought of her always smiling father.

I thought of the grand scene at the train station that day, and of that house worth twenty million.

I remembered how my sister used to brag to him about the two small goals he had given her.

He remembered what his sister had told him about his father, who was the world's richest man.

Because of all this, he has the confidence to say this.

Dai Yuqian stared blankly at Li Menghan's determined gaze for a moment.

For a moment, she even truly believed it.

But then, reason told her that it was impossible.

How could a guy who wears only black clothes all year round suddenly become very rich?

She gave a bitter laugh, thinking that Li Menghan was talking nonsense and making a last-ditch effort to keep her.

"Menghan, I know you really want to prove to me that you're no worse than him. But I hope we don't waste each other's time anymore."

"I'm a materialistic bad girl. I know your family is poor, and you can't meet my needs."

"So I hope you can forget about me and find a better girl, someone who deserves you and isn't so materialistic, okay?"

After saying this, Dai Yuqian dared not look Li Menghan in the eye again.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears.

She turned around and resolutely strode back.

The moment she turned around, tears finally welled up in her eyes.

Li Menghan stood there, watching her departing figure, but did not chase after her.

But he no longer felt the same despair as before.

On the contrary, a strong sense of defiance surged up.

"Sissi, I don't care if you're a materialistic girl, I only care if you like me or not."

"Since you left me for money, then I'll show you that I'm not short of money!"

"Wait for me, I'll prove to you right away that I really am rich!"

Thinking of this, Li Menghan no longer hesitated or had that so-called backbone.

What does pride matter if you want to win back the girl you love?

He took out the rice-shaped phone with the cracked screen and started typing rapidly.
