Su Bei raised her eyebrows and said, “Your so-called preparation, pleading for my help, and asking for investments are all just wishful thinking. You don’t know what your companies are like, nor do you know what it takes to get an investment. You’ve mustered up your courage, and it’s good to have courage, but you’re not 18 anymore. Courage can’t solve anything.”

“I can make preparations after this…” Wang Jiarou was extremely embarrassed. She had really not thought about this at all. It was just that her boyfriend had asked her to come, so she came.

She had tried to think of a way to solve the problem, but she couldn’t even find the source of the problem. It was as if everything was a mess and she thought that everything would be fine with Lu Group’s investment.

“With all due respect, Miss Wang, with your attitude and way of doing things, even if you get an investment from Lu Group, your companies can’t possibly improve. Lu Group can’t invest in such a company.” Su Bei sighed and looked sympathetically at the silly girl in front of her. “Your best bet is to leave early. Things won’t be too hard even without the companies. Find a job and live well.”

“No, Lu Bei, I still have a chance…” How could Wang Jiarou find a job and live a good life? That option had never existed in her life since she was young.

Besides, if that happened, she would definitely lose Hu Hanping.

Su Bei didn’t want to talk to her anymore. It was the responsibility of parents to educate their children. She wasn’t Wang Jiarou’s mother, so she had no obligation to educate her.

She turned to leave.

Wang Jiarou felt that her hope was fading. Seeing that Su Bei was about to leave, she had an idea and said loudly, “Lu Bei, if you leave, I’ll tell the media that you abandoned me and the child in my stomach!”

She knew that celebrities in the entertainment industry were most afraid of scandals. If things got out of hand, it would affect their careers.

Therefore, as long as there was a problem, these artistes would reduce it to a small matter. If they could solve the problem with money, they would not be stingy with money.

Su Bei couldn’t help but sneer when she heard this. She turned around and said, “I thought you were just stupid. I didn’t expect you to be so vicious.”

“Lu Bei, I have no choice. You forced me to do this. I don’t want to be your enemy either.” Wang Jiarou clenched her fists. “Just treat it as doing a good deed and help me. I can pretend that I didn’t say anything just now. This bit of money is nothing to you and Lu Group, but to me, it’s my entire life. If you help me, I’ll take back those words!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Bei slowly walked toward Wang Jiarou. At this moment, her temperament was noble and cold, making Wang Jiarou not dare to blaspheme or offend her. However, her desire to get an investment still prevailed. She forced herself to meet Su Bei’s gaze.

Su Bei chuckled. “I have to say, you’re really good at using underhanded methods. Previously, you tried to goad me, but you’ve now changed to slandering others. You even know how to guilt trip others. It turns out that you’re not stupid. You’re just smart but aren’t using your brains in the right place. You’re poor and I have money, but why should I help you?”

Wang Jiarou swallowed her saliva. “I’m desperate. I don’t want to do this either.”

Su Bei sneered. Fortunately, she was a woman. If she was really a man, she might actually be framed by such a person. Nowadays, in order to attract attention, the media didn’t care if the matter was true or not. They always reported it first. The more sensational the news, the more they liked it. By the time the person involved clarified the matter, it would already be difficult to salvage the loss.

Once rumors spread, careers would be lost.

It was no wonder that some artistes were afraid of trouble. For some small-scale scandals, they would spend money to settle them first.

Wang Jiarou was right about this.

Seeing that Lu Bei was deep in thought, Wang Jiarou thought that she had already hit the nail on the head and caused Lu Bei to worry. Although she was afraid of Lu Bei’s aura, she did not back down. “Lu Bei, I really don’t want to fall out with you. I believe you don’t want these scandals to affect your relationship with Mr. Lu, right? I can swear to you that as long as my father’s and boyfriend’s companies survive this crisis, I won’t look for you again. I won’t say a word about these things or even appear in the capital again.”

“Wang Jiarou, you used the wrong method from the beginning! If you had brought a proposal and explained your companies’ situations and profitable projects from the beginning, perhaps the investment funds would have already reached your companies’ accounts. But then again, if you really had such ability, you wouldn’t have been rejected by all the investors in Jingdu City.”

“I promise you, as long as you invest, I’ll quickly make up for those things!” Wang Jiarou said urgently.

“It’s too late. From the moment you came to me, it was already too late. As for the matter of you wanting to frame me, go ahead. Do you think modern medicine can’t find out what happened to the child?” After Su Bei finished speaking, she didn’t even spare her a glance.

Wang Jiarou really did not expect that Lu Bei would not be threatened at all. Weren’t celebrities most afraid of scandals? Could it be that he did not even care about his career or Mr. Lu’s thoughts?

She stood there, stunned.

When Su Bei left, she saw the flash of a camera.

There were many people who liked to take photos of celebrities, not to mention that this was a filming location. There would probably be paparazzi or passersby secretly taking photos everywhere.

After Su Bei got into the car, she thought for a moment, took out her phone, called Qiao Mei, and briefly explained the situation.

Qiao Mei couldn’t stop laughing. “There’s actually such a silly girl in this world? She’s really my source of joy today. Since you didn’t agree to her request, is she planning to make a fuss about it in the media?”

“I guess that’s possible. However, this timing is just right. If she makes a fuss, it’ll give me an opportunity to announce that Lu Bei is Su Bei. I was still worried that I hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to announce this matter.”

Qiao Mei nodded in agreement. “This is indeed a very good opportunity. If she wants to cause trouble, let her. I’ll prepare some countermeasures and keep an eye on the situation.”

“I didn’t want to bother about her, but since she’s offering herself up for me to use, I’ll use this incident to teach her what it means to be evil.”

Qiao Mei said, “Yes, you’ve advised her many times. If she had any self-awareness, she would have stopped long ago. Now, no matter what happens, it’ll be her own fault.”
