In Lu Man's heart, Chen Yan has always been her benefactor and the person she loves.
But she also knew that she loved Chen Yan, but Chen Yan didn't love her the most. Instead, he loved a girl with big breasts...
Therefore, when facing Chen Yan, she always couldn't help but think that Chen Yan was holding something back from her.
This is also the reason why she occasionally acts foolishly, or pulls Chen Yan to do some strange things, or even role-plays in certain things.
Because, only when her identities changed could she clearly feel that at that moment, Chen Yan belonged completely to her.
This also led to the fact that she never had high expectations for Chen Yan.
She simply treated Chen Yan as a love interest.
The kind of person who may be just a passer-by in life, but who may raise the corners of his mouth and look full of nostalgia when he thinks of him years later.
So, when she asked Chen Yan this question just now, she actually already had the answer in her heart.
She knew that no matter how generous Chen Yan was, he would not give her billions.
Stop talking nonsense.
There are so many wealthy people in the world, how many of them would voluntarily share their billions of assets with their partners?
When money reaches a certain level, the emotions of these wealthy people actually become indifferent. They know that as long as they have money, they will have an endless supply of power and beauties.
Without money, you lose everything.
So...she asked that just now purely to irritate Chen Yan. She never thought that Chen Yan would agree.
But Chen Yan gave her an unexpected answer.
After hearing Chen Yan's agreement, Lu Man immediately started thinking about whether he had made a mistake.
'Is my expression interesting?'
'Did he misunderstand?'
'Or does he think it's all a joke?'
"Or maybe..."
As he thought about it, Lu Man didn't know what he was thinking about.
Her face turned slightly red, and then she showed her two cute little canine teeth. She glared at Chen Yan fiercely and said, "I don't want those billions! I want money! Money!"
At this moment, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Man's words. Then he reacted and laughed twice, "Haha," and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"Do you think I'm shameless enough to tell dirty jokes when I'm trying to coax you?"
After hearing what Chen Yan said, Lu Man thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
However, she still didn't believe that Chen Yan would give her billions so easily.
So, she glanced at Chen Yan and said, "Don't think I'm joking. I'm serious."
She raised her head proudly, "I don't want your companies or fixed assets either. I just want cash!
She emphasized, "Billions of dollars in cash."
Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan's smile became even wider, and he said, "It's a deal."
"Whoever regrets is a puppy!"
As he spoke, Chen Yan picked up his phone and dialed a number.
When the call was connected, Chen Yan said, "Ruth, it's me. Please prepare some cash for me."
"All the cash on my account."
"There are still 2.3 billion?"
At this point, Chen Yan covered his phone, looked at Lu Man, and asked, "Is that enough?"
Lu Man didn't react to what Chen Yan was doing for a moment. She nodded blankly.
Chen Yan took his hand away and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay. Make an appointment for me and transfer all of them."
"Okay. Thank you. I'll give you the account tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Yan hung up the phone.
Then he looked at Lu Man and asked, "Do you have an account at Hong Kong HSBC Bank?"
"For such large transfers, it's best to use their bank account. It's more convenient."
Lu Man came to his senses when he heard that Chen Yan was really going to transfer money to him.
She looked at Chen Yan in surprise, and then said in disbelief, "Chen Yan. Are you really going to give me so much money?"
Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."
Lu Man stared at Chen Yan blankly, then asked, "2.3 billion?"
Chen Yan nodded again, "Yes."
He still looked at Lu Man innocently and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Didn't I just promise you? Do I have to give you so much money?"
He groaned for a moment and said, "Don't think it's too little."
"This is the most cash I can use."
"It's my personal property."
"The rest of the money is in the company's account. If I move it without authorization, it would be considered misappropriation of public funds, which is illegal."
"However, if you also want it, I can go with you to complete the formalities in the next few days and transfer the company to you."
"As long as you are happy. Everything is fine."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man was speechless for a moment.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
She lowered her head and wiped her wet eyes with her hands, then raised her head again, looked at Chen Yan with red eyes, and asked, "In order to make me happy, are you willing to give me all your property?"
Chen Yan looked at her and said solemnly, "Yes. As long as you are happy."
"I am willing to give you everything."
Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, then said softly, "Give it directly to me."
“It’s not an investment in me.”
As if she was afraid that Chen Yan didn't understand, she explained, "Like when you invested in my movies before, or launched the Chaoyang Project, although you spent money on me, but in fact, it was just an investment."
“If you invest, you have the potential to make money. And even if you don’t make money, you can still see the results of the project or get some other feedback.”
"And this... is given directly to me."
She looked at Chen Yan seriously, "Are you sure?"
Chen Yan held her shoulders with both hands, looked her in the eye, and said in a serious tone, "Manman. I understand the rules of business better than you do. I also understand the significance of what I do better than you do."
He said, “Let me put it this way.”
"I feel like I'm using my entire fortune to make you happy."
"I am willing to do so."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man couldn't help but clench her hands. It was obvious that she was in an extremely complicated mood.
She asked in a trembling voice, "What about Qiaoqiao?"
"Besides me, do you have her?"
Chen Yan smiled indifferently, "Qiaoqiao doesn't really have any idea about money. The several million I left for her is more than enough for her to spend."
"As for me, if I have no money, I can earn it again."
"With my ability, it would be easy to make a few billion more, right?"
When Chen Yan was speaking, Lu Man kept staring at Chen Yan's eyes, as if trying to see if he was lying or not.
When he heard Chen Yan say this, he saw that there was no ripple in Chen Yan's eyes.
Lu Man gently placed her hand on Chen Yan's chest, feeling Chen Yan's heartbeat.
Chen Yan's heartbeat was slow and strong, without any acceleration or abnormalities.
Therefore, this time, Lu Man finally confirmed that Chen Yan might really be willing to give all his wealth to her.
For a moment, she couldn't even describe her feelings.
Women are all emotional.
She asked herself, if the roles were reversed, she might not, she would definitely not be able to do it as willingly and freely as Chen Yan.
She even felt that she would not agree to something that made absolutely no sense.
This also made her feel for the first time that Chen Yan loved her so much
Even until now, she couldn't be sure whether Chen Yan was just coaxing her or really thinking that in his heart.
But she felt that even if Chen Yan was just coaxing her, she was satisfied that he could say these words and coax her like this, and she had nothing else to ask for.
So, for a moment, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears fell down, like pearls hitting her chest one by one.
She cried out in a sobbing voice, "Chen Yan"
Then she threw herself into Chen Yan's arms.
Chen Yan quickly reached out and hugged the lovely girl.
Then he held her in his arms, gently stroking her back, and whispered, "Why are you crying?"
"Unhappy?"
Lu Man buried her head in Chen Yan's chest, shook her head, and said in a crying voice, "No."
"that is……"
"that is……"
She kept saying "that's it" for a long time but didn't express her thoughts.
Chen Yan smiled and calmed her down, comforting her, "It's okay. If you can't say it, then don't say it."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Lu Man nodded vigorously.
After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Chen Yan, her face red with tears in her eyes, and she said in a mosquito-like voice, "Chen Yan, I still want several billion..."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then said doubtfully, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Lu Man pouted and rolled her eyes at Chen Yan, then reached down and said, "I mean these billions..."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant...
Then he smiled and hugged Lu Man, and said, "Okay. Then I will give you a few billion more."
Lu Man held Chen Yan's arm and cried aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law~~Sister Bai is not at home. You can't do this to me. It's too unfair for us to treat my sister like this..."
Chen Yan: …
Here we go again!
"Xiao Qing! You demon! Look at my demon pestle!"
Lu Man's voice with a sweet laugh rang out in the room...
The next day at noon.
Lu Man was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
Lu Man, who was in a daze, got up from the bed and reached out to touch his side.
Chen Yan is no longer here.
She pouted, squinted her still sleepy eyes, and looked for her cell phone.
The mobile phone is on the table.
Lu Man picked up the phone, took a look, and found that it was Sister Meili calling.
She took the phone, threw herself back on the pillow, and answered it while closing her eyes. She said grumpily, "Hello? Sister. What's wrong?"
Sister Meili's surprised and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Manman! Are you pregnant?!"
Sister Meili’s words made Lu Man suddenly wake up!
Her eyes widened, and she sat up suddenly and asked, "Who told you?!"
After she finished speaking, she realized her own speech error and said, "Pooh!" again, "Who said that?!"
"I don't have any!"
Lu Man’s words just now shocked the beautiful sister on the other end of the phone. She thought she had guessed it right.
Therefore, this also led to the fact that even if Lu Man denied it later, she did not believe it.
She said, "Just wait a minute. I'll come to your house now!"
After that, she was quiet for two seconds, then asked, "Are you at home? Or are you in a private hospital to preserve your pregnancy?"
Lu Man was furious, "I'm not pregnant! Why should I protect my pregnancy?"
"I'm home! Come on!"
"What is going on?"
Hearing Lu Man's roar, Sister Meili decisively hung up the phone and started rushing to Lu Man's house.
At this moment, Lu Man was also sobered up by the shock of this incident.
She scratched her hair that was messed up by Chen Yan last night, then frowned and muttered in confusion, "I'm pregnant? What happened?"
As he was thinking about it, Lu Man was suddenly startled.
I quickly picked up my phone and opened Weibo.
There are no hot searches about her on Weibo.
Lu Man quickly opened Baidu again, and entered the keyword: Lu Man is pregnant, and searched.
Fortunately, there is still no news.
Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief.
She just thought that a competitor had maliciously spread rumors about her pregnancy, which became a hot topic or was spread by many media, which is why Sister Meili was so panicked.
But now, there is no news.
So she felt relieved.
However, while feeling relieved, Lu Man was also a little hesitant: Since there was no competitor spreading rumors, why did Sister Meili suspect that she was pregnant?
While thinking about it, Lu Man got up puzzledly, then went to the bathroom, took a shower, washed away all traces of Chen Yan last night, and went downstairs refreshed.
Not long after she came downstairs, the doorbell of her villa rang.
Lu Man came to the door, looked through the access control, and only opened the door after confirming that it was Sister Meili .
And today, Sister Meili really looked extremely anxious, and she was walking very hurriedly.
She rushed in, closed the door, pulled Lu Man to the sofa, and immediately asked, "Man Man! Is there something wrong with you?"
Lu Man looked at Sister Meili with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister. What happened to me?"
"What news did you receive that made you so anxious? One moment you suspected that I was pregnant, and the next moment you suspected that something had happened to me?"
Sister Meili looked at Lu Man seriously. After seeing that there was indeed no abnormality on Lu Man's face, she opened the bag with complicated eyes, took out a file bag from it, and handed it to Lu Man.
Lu Man took it in confusion, opened it, and took out the information inside.
There are several copies of the information, and the one on top is a guide to opening a bank platinum VIP customer account.
The operation seems very convenient. You only need to make a phone call and someone will come to handle it.
The second document is the treatment that platinum VIP customers enjoy, and the dedicated customer connection manager who has been selected.
The following documents also contain some information about the bank’s financial management or investment benefits.
Lu Man had a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what this information was.
Until she turned to the last page.
Then she froze.
Because the last page is a large intra-bank transfer check.
The bank account was opened at HSBC, the check amount was 2.3 billion, and the recipient was Lu Man.
When Lu Man saw the check, she was stunned.
Then she remembered all the conversations and questions she had with Chen Yan in the office yesterday.
She was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
"Chen Yan actually fulfilled his promise and gave me the money?"
'He's really not kidding me?'
Thinking of this, Lu Man couldn't help but look at Sister Meili.
Sister Meili was also looking at her.
Seeing her looking over, Sister Meili nodded seriously and said, "I called to verify. This is the real HSBC Platinum Customer Hotline."
"They promised you could call them at any time, even at 3 a.m.."
"No matter what time or where, they will come to you as soon as possible to handle relevant business for you."
"And I checked the check, too. It's genuine."
"But the bank said that although the production photo was real, it was just symbolic. The operation was completed in the background."
"So, as long as you nod now, the 2.3 billion will all be yours."
At this point, Sister Meili asked again solemnly, "So... Manman. Are you pregnant?"
Lu Man looked at Sister Meili and couldn't help asking, "Sister. Why do you think I'm pregnant?"
Sister Meili tapped the check in Lu Man's hand and said, "If you weren't pregnant, why would Chen Yan give you so much money?"
Lu Man opened his mouth.
For a moment, she didn't know how to explain it.
Could it be that... I was just jealous and acted like a spoiled child to him?
In the end he gave me 2 billion...?
If I tell this to others, who would believe it?
Seeing Lu Man speechless, Sister Meili felt that her guess was confirmed again.
She sighed quietly and said, "I've told you to be careful, be careful."
"In the end, something like this happened to you."
"Why"
She said, “Originally I should have stood from the agent’s perspective and scolded you.”
"but……"
She looked at the check with a string of "0"s and said, "Chen Yan gave too much."
"I think even if you are a top actress and have been popular for 20 years, it would be difficult for you to make so much money."
"so……"
Sister Meili patted Lu Man on the shoulder and said, "I will coordinate your schedule during this period so that you don't have to work and can give birth to the baby smoothly."
"As for your matter with Chen Yan, I can't do anything about it. You and him should handle it properly."
She looked at Lu Man lovingly and said, "Although I shouldn't say this. But I still hope that what other girls have, you can have too."
"I hope you can marry into their family with honor."
"Grow old with him."
"If this is possible, even if I don't become a star, I think it's a good thing."
After hearing Sister Meili say that she wanted to quit the entertainment industry, Lu Man finally reacted.
She said, "What? Sister! It's not what you think!"
At this point, Lu Man couldn't hide it anymore.
So she could only tell Sister Meili everything that happened yesterday.
When he heard that Chen Yan gave Lu Man 2 billion yuan to make her not jealous, and that Chen Yan was willing to give all his wealth to Lu Man and leave with nothing to make her happy...
Sister Meili was completely stunned.
She felt like her brain had crashed and couldn't recover.
After a moment, she took out her cell phone and typed a few words.
Lu Man asked curiously, "Sister. What are you doing?"
Sister Meili coughed and said, "Let me check if our country's exchange rate has plummeted. It has fallen to the Beijing dollar."
Lu Man: ...
After checking, Meili said in disbelief, "No. The exchange rate in our country is very stable. The money is still the same."
She looked at the check again, then looked up at Lu Man and said, "So..."
"Chen Yan. Do you really love you this much?"
Her words were full of doubt.
Obviously, since she knew that Chen Yan was a playboy and had ambiguous relationships with several girls, she actually didn't quite believe that Chen Yan loved Lu Man so much.
Lu Man looked at her, not knowing how to answer.
Sister Meili asked herself and answered, "Even though giving money doesn't prove that a man loves you."
"But if you give 2 billion! This must be provable!!"
Speaking of this, she herself became excited!
"If someone gives me 2 billion and I still don't believe he loves me, then I must be crazy!"
