Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 735: Chapter 709: Now Is the Time to Slap Him in the Face

Ma Lv’s first reaction upon hearing Qian’s words was disbelief.

No, that’s impossible. Didn’t she say her family was just ordinary civil servants? Just because of this, Ma Lv had hesitated for quite a while. Actually, he had several backups at hand, and after picking one by one, he still felt that Liumei’s overall conditions were mediocre—mainly because women with better conditions than him didn’t fancy him; he didn’t even pass the height criterion.

”Mr. Yu! You’re here!” A manager-like person ran over and respectfully said to Mr. Yu, ”The planning bureau’s leader has been waiting for you for a long time—”

”Let him wait!” Mr. Yu waved impatiently; what leader is more important than mastering firsthand gossip?

Mr. Yu felt that if he didn’t relay this segment to his sister-in-law, he might have to kneel on the washboard, no, not might, he would definitely be kneeling on the washboard!

The final part from Qian was like dropping a massive atomic bomb in Ma Lv’s heart; this plot twist was too intense!

What is more thrilling than finding out the girl’s family is particularly wealthy after a breakup? What could be more tormenting than this?

”He-he-is he your brother?” Ma Lv stuttered. In his mind, there were only two words for real estate developers: rich!

”Yes.” Liumei was quite happy to see Mr. Yu come. She had great feelings for the four siblings of the Yu Family, but she still didn’t want to say much to Ma Lv. Ever since she hit Ma Lv, she felt disgusted that he dared to speak ill of her sister-in-law!

Yet she didn’t know that Ma Lv’s inner feelings at this moment could only be described with four words: a stormy sea!

Qian appreciated Ma Lv’s expression and conveniently added another blow.

”If Liumei’s family’s wealth isn’t on par with Mr. Yu, her parents both work in government agencies, and of course, their positions aren’t low. Rest assured, the car as a dowry is definitely normal income. Liumei’s parents are honest officials; the money is from her designer brother. Moreover, her adoptive parents are said to have bought Liumei a house in the county. Even after getting married, the daughter should often return home for visits, so when Liumei returns, she has a place to stay.”

Qian’s words made Liumei’s eyes redden. She had always thought her parents weren’t close to her and didn’t expect them to be preparing for her marriage. Even if the family explicitly expressed their dislike for Ma Lv before, they still made such comprehensive preparations for her.

Ma Lv’s eyes also reddened, but not out of touching emotion; he was fuming.

”Aren’t you registered in the county?” Ma Lv felt like he won the lottery only for the wind to blow it away—such a high position—Liumei actually had such a background?!

The series of shocks made Ma Lv’s heart race, and he couldn’t even feel the pain from Liumei’s slap on his face anymore.

He really couldn’t imagine that someone who always wore cheap clothes so carelessly had such a background at home!

This background was killing the previous blind date candidates he had—during his relationship with Liumei, Ma Lv went on several blind dates, maintaining contact with most, and in the end, reluctantly chose Liumei but still felt a million unwillingness inside.

But who would have thought that one second after Liumei said they were breaking up, the next second, such a terrifying family background popped up!

He was only a step away from soaring to success!

Mr. Yu almost burst with joy after realizing Qian’s intentions.

This is freaking awesome! If he couldn’t take a picture of this man’s expression and show it to his gossip-loving mom and wife, it would be such a loss!

But that’s okay! He can faithfully live broadcast after going home! This extremely satisfying event, once broadcasted, Mr. Yu felt like his family status might soar!

Mr. Yu was so jubilant inside but had to pretend not to know that Liumei had already told Ma Lv about the breakup and coordinated with Qian.

”Yes, Liumei is a girl, and her health hasn’t been good since she was young. The elder brothers in our family adore her. We have people in every circle of our family, and no one can watch you and your husband live poorly. So, Liumei, whatever you want for your wedding, I’ll give it to you.”

I want a Cherokee, I want a house. Oh, no, I just want a comfy post so that once my contract ends, my career will go smoothly, allowing me to win over a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life! In Ma Lv’s heart, the little greedy man was howling.

Liumei’s next words utterly crushed Ma Lv.

”Brother, we are not getting married. He’s not suitable for me; we just decided to break up!”

After Liumei finished speaking, she glanced at Qian, who nodded approvingly at her.

”We haven’t broken up!”

If he didn’t tightly cling to this golden opportunity, his later life wouldn’t feel secure.

”We broke up,” Liumei said seriously to Ma Lv.

”I can’t fulfill your requests, and I don’t want to change myself for anyone. I just enjoy wearing high heels when not practicing martial arts, and I love laughing openly. I can’t have the house bought by my family be offered to your parents so nobly, nor can I bear having child after child. I also can’t stand you speaking ill of my family. The moment you say something, I feel like punching you. Before I beat you to death, you better hurry and leave.”

Well said! Both Mr. Yu and Qian thought so in their hearts.

There’s no need to fight against a man with such different principles nor any room to change him. A person’s values are built over decades. If one doesn’t want to change themselves to cater to others’ values, they shouldn’t touch them. Thinking a guy will love and change himself for you is nothing but wishful thinking.

To deal with such a family, it doesn’t matter if it’s cruel or not. Breaking up with them and clearing the relationship is already the most heart-wrenching act for these people. What could be more painful than seeing something desirable but out of reach?

At this moment, Ma Lv could no longer maintain his golden cool guy persona. He still wanted to salvage this golden opportunity, but Qian spoke up.

”What pains you isn’t the loss of love but the money you can’t get. Our family won’t allow Liumei to marry someone like you.”

”I have feelings for Liumei,” Ma Lv argued.

”During the period you were seeing Liumei, how many times did you call her?”

”...I’m relatively busy with work.”

”When a man tells a woman he’s very busy, the subtext is either ’you’re a backup’ or ’I’m more interested in work than you,’ which one are you?”

Both, but he couldn’t say that.

At this moment, Ma Lv’s heart was burning in flames, yet she was determined to break up! Ma Lv steeled his heart and made a stunning move.

”Liumei! Don’t leave me, I’m genuinely fond of you!”

He tightly hugged Liumei from behind!

Liumei was shocked, Mr. Yu was shocked, and Qian was shocked.

They had never seen someone so shameless!

”Let her go!” Fugui suddenly ran over from behind, yanked Ma Lv away, and kicked him, cursing him as an audacious scoundrel without a shred of shame!
