Chapter 627: Best Actor Shen’s Counterattack (7)
Because of what had just happened at the entrance, only a few people approached Shen Liangchuan now as he entered the event venue.
Even his childhood friends kept a distance and did not approach him.
Shen Liangchuan wasn’t fazed and strolled over to the sofa at the resting zone on the side. He seemed to be in a relaxed mood and even asked her, “Are your feet hurting?”
Qiao Lian normally wore flat shoes, but she had put on heels for this function.
She immediately laughed at the idea that she should be thought of as a delicate and pampered little mistress. “No, they’re not hurting.”
Shen Liangchuan nodded.
Just as they were about to speak again, Lu Nanze walked up to them.
Standing next to them and resting his gaze on Qiao Lian’s feet, he remarked, “You used to hate wearing heels. Now they no longer hurt?”
Shen Liangchuan expression darkened at the man’s words.
Before Qiao Lian could say anything, he continued expressionlessly, “We appreciate your concern. My wife is fine.”
Lu Nanze laughed icily and replied, “Don’t you know how Qiao Lian grew up? Back in Suzhou, she basically could have whatever she wanted. Everyone in the circle pampered her and she was a little princess! But now she has to suffer along with you..”
“Lu Nanze! What I desire is my own choice. Besides, I’m blissfully happy now!”
“I’d rather be begging alongside him than leave with you. So you can stop dreaming about it!”
She was firm and resolute, and her words were like a sharp knife that cut deeply into Lu Nanze’s heart.
She would rather beg alongside Shen Liangchuan than leave with him?
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes as his smile deepened. “Fine. Then let’s have you experience what it’s like to beg!”
As he thought this, someone approached them. Immediately, Lu Nanze raised his hand and pointed at him for Qiao lian to see. “Do you know who that is?”
Qiao Lian’s gaze followed the direction indicated.
It was a man of similar age to them, and he was wearing a suit and leather shoes.
Qiao Lian kept silent.
Lu Nanze continued, “That was your company’s first investor. Li Chenyu grew up with Shen Liangchuan and they were buddies. Their agreement had been drafted and was ready to be signed, but he changed his mind at the last minute.”
He looked at Qiao Lian and continued, “Do you know why?”
Qiao Lian bit her lip and looked at Shen Liangchuan.
Lu Nanze laughed. “Because I gave him considerable benefits.”
Qiao Lian’s expression turned ugly at once. “You’re despicable!”
Lu Nanze stared at them with viciousness flashing in his eyes. “Qiao Lian, I’ve told you before. Come with me and I’ll leave him alone.”
Now Qiao Lian was heaving with anger.
At this point, as though attempting to provoke them even more, Lu Nanze yelled, “Mr. Li!”
Li Chenyu turned when he heard his name being called. His eyes lit up instantly when he saw them and he strode over.
Lu Nanze kept his eyes on the man. Then, smiling, he told Qiao Lian, “I’ll introduce you now.”
Those infuriating words! Qiao Lian was speechless.
Li Chenyu had been Shen Liangchuan’s friend, but he had betrayed the latter to gain some benefits for himself. Lu Nanze had called him over just to embarrass Shen Liangchuan.
And now, Li Chenyu was standing before them.
Lu Nanze extended his hand to greet the man. “Mr. Li, how are you?”
Li Chenyu smiled broadly and replied, “Mr. Lu, what a coincidence! How are you!?”
He didn’t even turn to look at Shen Liangchuan.
