Chapter 18 The tragic Liu Yuanpeng!_1
"Hahaha..."
Liu Yuanpeng could barely stop himself from laughing: "I really want to see how you'll make me regret it!"
What a joke. He believed that he had won Miss Chu's favor, and now even half of the influential figures in Jiang City's business circle had to come and please him, this once insignificant 'small fry' looked down upon by high society.
So how could he possibly come to regret anything?
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "Then just wait and see!"
Not taking action now was because he feared some people hadn't arrived yet. If he couldn't make this shameless couple lose face thoroughly, then any retaliation would be meaningless!
"This beautiful lady, I advise you to stay away from him, or you'll get dragged down too!"
Liu Yuanpeng wasn't paying attention to Zhou Yuan at all, so he went straight to the point. He wanted to flaunt his superiority, hoping to make this heavenly beauty take the initiative to ask for his contact details, and then...
But what he didn't know was that the superb beauty before him was none other than Chu Ran, who with just a word, could mobilize more than half of Jiang City's influential figures!
"Oh?"
Chu Ran asked with a mocking interest: "So you're saying, you're quite impressive?"
He dares to flirt with her right in front of the bride at his own wedding?
How is this any different from cheating after getting engaged to Yang Li?
Indeed, as the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!
"Although I only have tens of millions to my name, even the Miss Chu from the Chu Family in Capital City has come to attend my wedding."
When Liu Yuanpeng mentioned Chu Ran, his tail was almost wagging to the sky, and then he 'sincerely' added: "But I keep a low profile; as long as you know that's enough. Listen to me, hanging out with a loser will get you nowhere."
Yang Li was on the verge of going mad—what was Liu Yuanpeng implying?
Today was supposed to be their grand wedding day!
Zhou Yuan was also looking at Chu Ran with a puzzled face—could it be...
Unintentionally, he owed Chu Ran another favor. She came here specifically for this matter and not by chance. How else could Liu Yuanpeng possibly know that Chu Ran was going to come?
"How can you be so sure that Miss Chu is here to congratulate you?"
"What if she's here to disrupt your wedding?"
Chu Ran barely held back her laughter and said seriously: "That's why I still feel safer being with him. At least he won't be flirting left and right!"
Liu Yuanpeng's face immediately fell.
Yang Li cried out in grievance: "How can you flirt with another woman right in front of me?"
Normally, it would have been fine.
But with Zhou Yuan right there, she had lost all her face!
Liu Yuanpeng whispered angrily: "We had an agreement. Don't meddle in my private life. We have a lot of VIPs here today. If you dare to offend any of them, you'll regret it!"
Yang Li's face turned green!
Although she was with Liu Yuanpeng for the money, there was no need to state it so blatantly in front of Zhou Yuan, was there?
Zhou Yuan scoffed: "I thought you were happy. Turns out you're just a mistress!"
"And judging by the trend, in the future, you might not even qualify as 'mistress number seven or eight'!"
Such words directly wounded Yang Li's heart. If it wasn't for the bigshots already present, how could she have restrained herself?
Yang Li's silence made Liu Yuanpeng even more brazen. He took out his phone, opened WeChat's QR code, and said with a leering smile: "Beautiful lady, how about we add each other on WeChat? It will make it easier to keep in touch in the future!"
"I've earned Miss Chu's favor and will surely become a rising star in Jiang City's business world. If you follow me, you definitely won't suffer any losses!"
Zhou Yuan sneered dismissively: "Do you know who she is?"
Liu Yuanpeng was truly pathetic, frantically using Chu Ran's noble status to aggrandize himself, yet failing to recognize that the woman standing before him was the Miss Chu herself!
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Chu Ran remained silent. Her purpose for coming here wasn't to help Zhou Yuan deal with Liu Yuanpeng and Yang Li, instead, she wanted Zhou Yuan to make an appearance in front of Jiang City's elite families!
Only those who can withstand the test of storms can grow rapidly!
"I'm embarrassed to say, I truly don't know the lady's name," Liu Yuanpeng said.
"Would you mind telling me your name?"
Liu Yuanpeng was completely enchanted. If it were before, he wouldn't dare act so unreservedly, but believing that he had won Miss Chu's 'favor,' he felt Yang Li was unworthy of him.
He naturally wanted to find an even more beautiful woman!
One that would make everyone envious!
"I am Chu Ran, from Capital City, the Miss Chu of the Chu Family that you've been talking about!"
A playful look shimmered in Chu Ran's beautiful eyes; she was curious to see how this man before her could continue to disgust her.
"Hahaha..."
Liu Yuanpeng laughed loudly: "Impossible!"
Chu Ran responded coldly: "What's so impossible?"
Zhou Yuan smiled. If Liu Yuanpeng knew Chu Ran's true identity, he wondered if he would wet his pants in fear!
"He is but a loser!"
"How could the Miss Chu from the Chu Family in Capital City possibly be with a loser?"
Liu Yuanpeng laughed: "Yang Li told me that you are an actress he hired!"
He would never believe that the stunning woman before him was actually Chu Ran!
Even though she had an elegant demeanor, isn't that a basic requirement for an actress?
Just then, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the entrance. A slightly overweight middle-aged man immediately hurried over.
When Liu Yuanpeng saw the newcomer was Zhu Zihua—the seventh-ranked tycoon on Jiang City's rich list—he was overjoyed and rushed to greet him: "Mr. Zhu, please... please come inside!"
Zhu Zihua brushed past Liu Yuanpeng and immediately went up to Chu Ran. He addressed her with utmost respect: "Miss Chu, you've arrived quite early!"
Miss Chu?
Liu Yuanpeng's smile rapidly faded. Could she really be the Miss Chu of the Chu Family?
At that thought, he felt a chill run down his spine...
