Sheng Lei leaned forward, trying to get a better look inside the car. He wanted to see more clearly if it was really Sheng Mumu inside.
The security guard pulled him away.
"What? It's you again. Can't you leave?"
Sheng Lei pointed at the person in the car. "That's my sister. I told you I'm a relative of the homeowner."
The security guard tightened his grip and pulled him aside.
"Who are you trying to fool? If you're really a relative, why don't you make a phone call to prove your identity? Go, go, stop making up stories."
A crack in the car window allowed the sound of their argument to drift in. Sheng Mumu heard it and furrowed her brows, lost in thought.
Sheng Lei continued to argue with the security guard. "She's really my sister, and he's my brother-in-law."
The security guard glanced at the license plate and his disbelief became more apparent on his face.
It was the license plate of the Qi family's vehicles.
Was this man suggesting that Qi Mo was his brother-in-law?
That couldn't be true.
Taking advantage of the security guard's momentary relaxation, Sheng Lei broke free and ran to the window. He bent down and said, "Mumu, come down. This person won't let me in. You tell him who I am."
Sheng Mumu instinctively leaned back and created some distance.
At the same time, she fully understood that this man was the original host's vampire brother, Sheng Lei.
She had been enjoying herself lately and almost forgot about this scumbag's existence.
Now, he suddenly appeared before her, surprising her a little, but not enough to lose her composure.
Sheng Mumu gave him a cold glance and moved her hand to the side.
She slowly raised the car window.
Sheng Lei was surprised and tapped on the window, his shouting weakening.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Why did you close the window?"
...
Qi Mo and Qi Shaobai saw Sheng Mumu's actions and witnessed the earlier argument.
The man's cold gaze swept past them, his expression turning serious.
Before their arranged marriage, he had seen this face in the information sent by Dong, his assistant.
Sheng Lei, a worthless man who was always involved in shady deals, either losing money or on the verge of losing money.
He was one of those common failures who aimed high but lacked the ability to reach their goals.
Qi Shaobai, on the other hand, had no idea this person existed. When he heard Sheng Lei's words, he looked completely confused.
Sheng Mumu pursed her lips.
She had to deal with this once and for all.
Her shoulders sank slightly, and she slowly turned her head to speak to the two men in the car.
"I'll get off for a moment to handle some personal matters. Wait for me here."
The car door was pushed open, and Sheng Mumu got out.
Seeing her finally come out, Sheng Lei instantly felt triumphant.
He loudly shouted at the security guard, "Now you know who I am, you watchdog!"
Sheng Mumu calmly glanced at him and started walking towards the security guard.
Sheng Lei felt like he had vented his anger. However, he didn't forget the purpose of his visit. He followed beside Sheng Mumu, walking and questioning her at the same time.
"Why didn't you answer my call? Did your phone break?"
"You even blocked me on WeChat. What do you mean by this? Are you too high and mighty to recognize your own relatives now that you're successful?"
"Sheng Mumu, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?"
Sheng Mumu seemed to ignore him, her eyes radiating a calm light as she lazily glanced at him.
To be honest, the original host's brother didn't look ugly.
His facial features were average when seen individually, but when combined, they were somewhat pleasing.
Even though he may look like a person, he's no better than a dog.
She hadn't forgotten the WeChat messages Sheng Lei had sent to the original owner.
Whenever he appeared, it was always about money.
The long chat history could be scrolled back several years.
At that time, the original owner was just an ordinary office worker.
How much could an office worker's salary be? It couldn't withstand his constant requests for money.
The stubborn and arrogant attitude in his words made Sheng Mumu feel disgusted whenever she thought about it.
When the original owner advised him not to speculate on virtual currencies, as it was a scam targeting people who didn't understand the market, Sheng Lei would say,
"You think you know best, everyone else is an idiot. How come you're so capable? Haven't seen you earning much money either."
When the original owner mentioned how hard she worked to earn money and told him to find his own way instead of relying on her all the time, Sheng Lei shamelessly replied,
"I don't rely on you, who else can I rely on? I'm still unmarried, and my parents passed away early. Who else can I count on?"
When the original owner's bonus was deducted and her work became difficult, and she wanted to confide in her only relative, Sheng Lei showed no concern for his sister and instead said,
"I told you to change jobs, but you didn't listen. Regretting it now, aren't you?"
"I heard from a friend that you can earn more money by working abroad. You should give it a try."
Damn it!
Thinking about all this, Sheng Mumu's fists clenched, as she struggled to suppress her anger.
This despicable person didn't care about the original owner's well-being at all!
Is it so easy to go abroad for work?
What if something happened to him, and he might not even come back alive!
The distance from getting off the car to reaching the security guard wasn't long.
But it was enough for Sheng Mumu's anger towards Sheng Lei, this stranger, to skyrocket from 0 to the maximum.
Sheng Lei noticed that his sister was completely ignoring him and walking toward the security guard.
After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly understood.
Oh, his sister probably wanted to support him by scolding the security guard who had just pulled him away.
Well, isn't it said that the rules are strict, and only the owners are allowed to enter?
Now that the real owner has arrived, let's see how they apologize.
If that damn security guard doesn't give him face, it's the same as not giving Sheng Mumu face.
Naturally, he should teach him a lesson.
Thinking that he would soon sweep away the humiliation of being driven away for days, Sheng Lei's face became even more triumphant, and he excitedly bit his lower lip.
Sheng Mumu stopped in front of the security guard.
She lowered her gaze and nodded slightly.
With a genuinely apologetic expression, she spoke slowly,
"I'm sorry, this person has caused you trouble."
"Sheng Mumu, what are you saying?" Sheng Lei's smug smile instantly froze, and he shouted in confusion, "Why are you apologizing to him?"
The security guard was also taken aback and quickly said,
"No, no, Mrs. Qi, this is part of our job. We didn't know she was a relative of yours, so..."
Sheng Mumu slowly raised her eyes and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you see this person again, please don't let him in. I have no relationship with him."
Sheng Lei: "!!!!"
He heard her words.
He couldn't control his emotions anymore.
Just like the countless times he scolded her when they were children, Sheng Lei suddenly raised his voice:
"You explain to me, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Sheng Mumu frowned and rubbed her ear, which had been affected by the impact. She turned around slowly and spoke calmly, "I'm saying that I don't have a brother like you. From now on, you are you, and I am me. Do you understand?"
Her words were neither fast nor slow, and her eyes held a confidence and composure that Sheng Lei had never seen before.
Sheng Lei couldn't believe his eyes as he looked her up and down, anger surging from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
How could his obedient sister, who had never dared to defy him, suddenly become a different person?
What had changed her?
"Fine! Fine! You don't answer my calls, you block me on WeChat. Have you grown wings and want to cut off ties with me?" He took a few steps forward and raised his voice again, "You ungrateful person! Marrying a wealthy man and disregarding even 'kinship.' Do you still see me as your brother?"
Sheng Mumu enunciated each word:
"Although you probably won't understand, I'll explain it to you anyway."
"To be precise, people who only know to cling to others and demand money are not worthy of being called family."
"Call them tr—ash—"
