Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 140 The Simp Stand-in Quits (14)

Lu Ming became increasingly unwilling and said angrily to Xia Mingwei, "Since you refuse to come back to me, then give me back my sixty million!"

Xia Mingwei knew that Lu Ming would not let this go after today, but she did not expect him to start by pursuing accountability for the 60 million.

Xiao Ba: Host, do you really want to return it to him?

Xia Mingwei: How could that be? Once the money's in my pocket, no one can take it out of me unless I want to! Especially not Lu Ming's money! It's time to teach him the lesson of "throwing a meat bun to a dog, it's gone forever!"

Xia Mingwei smiled condescendingly at Lu Ming, "So what if I don't return it? Wasn't this money a gift you gave me voluntarily? There's no reason to take money back after it's been given away! Besides, you've been toying with my feelings for so long, making me Li Nianyun's substitute for so long. You can't just enjoy my services for nothing!"

As Xia Mingwei said this, she continued in an incredibly irritating tone.

"With your character, you really think there's such a thing as a free lunch? If you were more handsome, I might be in a good mood and pay you for playing with a handsome guy! But you're not only ugly, you're also a womanizer, you're really an eyesore! I can't live with myself if I don't make you pay this money as compensation for my lost youth!"

"There's no need for a compensation of 60 million!"

Perhaps Xia Mingwei's previous slap had stunned Lu Ming, for even when he tried to retort, he didn't dare to raise his voice too high. He was afraid that Xia Mingwei might get angry and slap him again.

Moreover, Lu Ming fell into deep self-doubt.

Physiologically speaking, Xia Mingwei is female, and he is male. Logically, there should be a significant difference in strength. But shouldn't he be the one with the advantage? Besides, he has studied Taekwondo and Jiu-Jitsu, which are good for physical fitness!

But why does he always feel like he's being choked and powerless when facing Xia Mingwei?

Does this mean all those years of tuition fees were wasted? Were the teachers just teaching for his own face, all for show?

It's not surprising that Lu Ming thought that way. Anyone who was beaten so badly by a girl would probably be filled with suspicion!

There's a reason why Xia Mingwei has become the way she is now. Ever since her last mission, perhaps because she'd been on the battlefield and seen blood, her temper has become much worse than before.

This caused her belief to shift from "a moment of patience brings peace, a step back opens up a vast sky" to "nothing can't be solved with one slap; if one slap doesn't work, then two slaps will." She went from one extreme to the other.

Seeing Lu Ming still unable to accept being thoroughly beaten, Xia Mingwei felt great. She looked down at her hands and sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, in the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks are futile. From now on, I'll have to solve problems with slaps! Look at him, he was so talkative just now, but now he's obedient?"

Xiao Ba: Host, are you sure he's become more obedient? Or is he just scared of you?

Xia Mingwei: I've already told you, the method doesn't matter, what matters is the result, the result!

After teaching Lu Ming a lesson, Xia Mingwei picked up her bag, humming a song as she walked out of the coffee shop.

In her opinion, today was not only a day of gaining wealth, but also a day of teaching that scumbag a lesson. It was truly a day full of energy!

However, to Xia Mingwei's surprise, Li Nianyun asked to meet her in the afternoon, just after she agreed to talk to Lu Ming in the morning.

"Didn't you take my money and promise me you wouldn't see Brother Ming anymore?"

Upon meeting, Li Nianyun couldn't wait to question him.

As she said this, Li Nianyun looked at Xia Mingwei with deep resentment in her eyes.

Seeing Li Nianyun angry, Xia Mingwei wasn't annoyed at all. Looking at her puffed-up face, Xia Mingwei even felt a little tempted to tease her.

"Looks like you're pretty well-informed! We just met this morning, and you showed up this afternoon! But judging from your state, you've only heard half the news!"

Upon hearing this, Li Nianyun knew that there was more to the story than met between Xia Mingwei and Lu Ming.

Before I knew it, most of my anger had subsided.

Seeing that Li Nianyun's mood had gradually calmed down, Xia Mingwei spoke again, "Then your Ming-gege must not have told you what happened after we met!"

Li Nianyun was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Xia Mingwei had actually guessed correctly!

When she first learned that Xia Mingwei and Lu Ming had met, she was furious. She felt completely betrayed by Xia Mingwei, and on the way there, she kept cursing Xia Mingwei, even rehearsing accusations in her head of taking money without delivering and toying with her. As for what happened after their meeting, she truly had no idea!

Li Nianyun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then tell me, what happened when you met?"

"I was thinking, since I took your money, I have to fulfill my obligations! I can't go back on my word! But your brother Ming can't, so I can only..."

Xia Mingwei noticed Li Nianyun's slightly anxious expression out of the corner of her eye and deliberately drew out her tone.

"Only what?" Li Nianyun asked anxiously.

"I have no choice but to slap him!"

"You hit him?" Li Nianyun asked in an almost incredulous tone.

"He actually wants to enjoy the blessings of having two wives, making you the first wife and me the mistress. Shouldn't he be beaten?"

Upon hearing this, Li Nianyun fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

Actually, she didn't understand what kind of feelings Lu Ming had for her.

When she first saw Xia Ming, she was secretly delighted. Xia Mingwei looked remarkably like her, almost uncanny; anyone could tell that Xia Mingwei was her substitute. She could understand why Lu Ming had found a substitute to ease his longing after being abroad for so long. But now that she was back, why was he wavering again? Shouldn't he firmly choose her, the real one?

Looking at Li Nianyun, Xia Mingwei rested her chin on her hands and asked the question that had been troubling her for a long time: "Why do you want to become Mrs. Lu?"

"because…"

Li Nianyun almost thought about answering the question, but found that none of the reasons she wanted to give were valid.

"I…"

Li Nianyun was speechless, completely unsure of what reason to give. It seemed as if the driving force that had always silently supported her had suddenly collapsed.

"See! Deep down you know you don't like him anymore!"

Li Nianyun instinctively wanted to refute him. She had liked Lu Ming since she was a child, so how could she suddenly stop liking him just because of a few words from Xia Mingwei?
