Chapter 76 Killing someone by destroying their spirit
An Aston Martin DB12 slowly drove up and stopped next to the Panamera.
The people getting off the bus were Lu Ran and Cheng Ning.
Wu Xiaomeng immediately ran happily towards the two of them, first calling out "Brother-in-law," and then throwing herself into Cheng Ning's arms.
"Sister Ning."
Cheng Ning patted her cousin's head: "Xiao Meng, happy birthday."
"Hehe, I'm so happy to have you all come to see me."
Lu Ran then asked in confusion, "But you look like you've been crying?"
Wu Xiaomeng sniffed: "It's nothing, just the wind."
Wu Xiaomeng's two roommates stood awkwardly to one side, while Chen Luyang's expression was even more unnatural.
Lu Ran immediately guessed what was going on from the expressions of the others.
"Xiao Meng, if anyone bullies you, just speak up. With me and your sister Ning here, don't be afraid."
Wu Xiaomeng pursed her lips.
"No need, brother-in-law. Nobody bullied me. It's just that someone was talking about you, and I'm not happy about it."
Chen Luyang then stepped forward and approached the group.
"You're Xiaomeng's brother-in-law, right? That's right, I was just talking about you, but what I said is all based on facts I found online."
Seeing the other party's posture, Lu Ran held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
It's obvious that he's Xiaomeng's suitor.
Although he seems a bit arrogant, he's certainly brave and responsible.
Just as he was about to say something, Wu Xiaomeng, who was standing next to him, said indignantly, "Chen Luyang, you're not welcome at my birthday party. You can leave now."
Chen Luyang shrugged.
"This road isn't yours, why are you telling me to leave?"
When Chen Luyang first saw Lu Ran, he found that this guy wasn't as handsome as Wu Xiaomeng had said; at most, he was only slightly better looking than him.
But it's true that my girlfriend is beautiful.
Wu Xiaomeng was one of the very few beauties he had ever seen, but he never expected that Wu Xiaomeng's cousin would be even more beautiful than Wu Xiaomeng.
Unfortunately, she already has a boyfriend, and if he couldn't even handle Wu Xiaomeng, her cousin, who also has a boyfriend, would be even more of a challenge. Chen Luyang had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
Seeing how shameless Chen Luyang was, Wu Xiaomeng didn't bother arguing with him anymore.
She turned her gaze to her brother-in-law's car.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't see this car before when I visited you last time. It's so beautiful! What kind of car is it?"
"This car door is quite unique."
Wu Xiaomeng quite likes cars, but she doesn't know much about them; the only ones she knows well are popular models like the Su-7.
But now she's more concerned about whether her brother-in-law is alright, and why he got a new car.
Could it be that they sold the expensive one and bought the cheaper one?
"This is an Aston Martin DB12."
"Aston Martin, I think I've heard of it. Brother-in-law, how much does this car cost?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment, then pointed to the Panamera next to the DB12 and said, "It's alright, I could probably only afford three of these."
Chen Luyang: ......
Chen Luyang's face turned green. He was always the one showing off to others, but today someone actually dared to do it to him.
What's frustrating is that he can't find a reason to refute it.
He could only stubbornly reply, "You're absolutely right, my family really does have three."
Lu Ran then turned around: "Oh? This car is yours? I'm sorry, I didn't know."
What does it mean to kill someone by destroying their spirit? This is what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
You think the other person did it on purpose, but they were just saying it casually.
Chen Luyang was depressed.
He asked, "Do you really own a Koenigsegg?"
Lu Ran was a little puzzled; how did this person know what kind of car he owned?
But then I realized that he must have learned it from Xiao Meng.
He smiled calmly and said, "It's just a means of transportation."
Chen Luyang was utterly puzzled: "Didn't you go bankrupt? It's one thing to not sell the Koenigsegg, but why did you buy a DB12?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in talking about these things with strangers."
Lu Ran was annoyed. "I'll just exchange a few polite words with you for Xiao Meng's sake, but you're interrogating me like this, asking all sorts of questions."
Lu Ran ignored him and looked at Wu Xiaomeng, asking, "Xiaomeng, where are you planning to celebrate your birthday today?"
Wu Xiaomeng looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't found a place yet. My roommate and I have been to so many places, but they're either too bad or too expensive. I'm so conflicted."
Lu Ran thought for a moment.
"Just tell me what's truly in your heart. Tell me, where do you most want to eat? Where do you most want to go for fun?"
Wu Xiaomeng blinked.
"As for food, I'd really like to go to a farmhouse restaurant. I heard the new one that just opened recently has really good food, but it's too expensive."
"There seem to be a lot of fun things to do there, like fishing, picking vegetables to cook, singing, and so on."
"It seems like there will be a performance tonight."
Lu Ran nodded: "Okay, let's go to the farmhouse. I'll drive, you can give directions or send me your location."
Wu Xiaomeng was taken aback: "Oh, brother-in-law, you really want to go? But it's very expensive."
"Go if you want, I'll pay for it anyway, don't worry about the price."
Wu Xiaomeng knew that her brother-in-law was having a hard time and didn't want to spend his money.
But at this moment, a man's pride was more important, so after thinking about it, she smiled and agreed.
"Okay, brother-in-law, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Lu Ran and Cheng Ning sat in the driver's seat and passenger seat respectively, while Wu Xiaomeng happily sat in the back.
Lin Shanshan and Zhou Zixuan stepped forward hesitantly and asked, "Xiaomeng, can we come together?"
Wu Xiaomeng waved her hand: "Of course you should come together! Come on, come on, my sister-in-law is very nice, you don't need to be shy."
The two happily got into the car. It was the first time they had ever ridden in such a nice car, and their eyes were full of envy.
The vehicle started and drove away, leaving Chen Luyang bewildered in the wind.
In the car.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shanshan apologized to Wu Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, there's something Zixuan and I want to apologize to you about."
Zhou Zixuan nodded apologetically.
Lin Shanshan continued, "Actually, a few days ago, we received a red envelope from Chen Luyang. He asked us to speak on your behalf on your birthday so that you would agree to go to the hotel to celebrate your birthday, as he had arranged."
"Then he confessed his feelings to you during the birthday song segment, and even asked us to be the atmosphere-setter."
"I just returned the red envelope to Chen Luyang. I'm sorry, Xiaomeng. I didn't know you would reject him so firmly. I thought you two were playing hard to get."
Wu Xiaomeng wrinkled her nose and said, "At least you guys have some conscience and are being honest with me. Actually, I already knew about this a long time ago."
Zhou Zixuan was taken aback: "Ah, when did you find out?"
"From the very first time you spoke well of Chen Luyang in front of me."
The two looked embarrassed, not expecting Wu Xiaomeng to know so early.
"Xiaomeng, we're so sorry, can you forgive us?"
"I won't let you get on the bus until I forgive you."
"That's great, thank you Xiaomeng."
The three of them quickly huddled together and resolved the conflict.
Lu Ran drove for about an hour and a half to the farmhouse that Wu Xiaomeng had mentioned, based on the location Wu Xiaomeng had sent.
It is indeed quite large, and it is a standalone establishment, not a collection of scattered small shops.
Before setting off, Lu Ran placed an order online. Newly opened venues like this usually offer discounts, so there are bound to be a lot of people.
To avoid queuing, Lu Ran directly ordered the highest level of service at the farm owner level. No need to queue, there is a dedicated chef, waiter and butler service.
The average price is four figures per person.
