Gu Lixuan gave Jiang Mengxin a vivid lesson in what a scumbag looked like.
Holding his bag, he stood up and said, "Mr. Lei, you are talking romance with President Jiang. I won't be a third wheel here. I'll be in touch later."
He walked away directly, not even glancing at Jiang Mengxin.
To run away when there was trouble and leave a woman in a dangerous situation, this kind of man was not only cowardly but also extremely low in character.
Let alone fighting Lei Li, he wouldn't even dare to speak harshly.
Yet, this was the true nature of Gu Lixuan.
To put it nicely, he was an extreme egoist; to put it bluntly, he was selfish.
Jiang Mengxin was both angry and relieved.
Fortunately, Lei Li's appearance exposed Gu Lixuan's true colors. Otherwise, she would have been deceived by his appearance and impulsively married him.
Marrying such scum was worse than continuing her life with Lu Ming.
After Gu Lixuan left, Lei Li sat down in his seat and looked at Jiang Mengxin affectionately, saying, "Mengxin, do you know how much I love you? For five years, I've dreamt of you every night. Mengxin, I want you to be my woman, I want to marry you!"
Jiang Mengxin was speechless.
Could he stop talking to himself?
Did he think he could just marry her because he said so? Did he not consider anyone else's opinion?
Even more outrageous things were yet to come.
Lei Li took out a piece of paper, wrote an address on it, and said, "Mengxin, I've prepared a wedding for you. Come to this address at eight tonight. It's a church. I'll put the wedding ring on you inside the church and dress you in a wedding gown."
Jiang Mengxin wished she could die.
She didn't want to get married at all!
Lei Li stood up and said, "Now, I'm going to the church to make arrangements in advance, and by the way, clean up any unsavory people inside."
Uh...
So, this church wasn't booked at all! Lei Li was planning to take it by force.
This Lei Li always acted according to his own will, doing whatever he pleased, never considering others' feelings.
It was truly unlucky to run into such a person.
Jiang Mengxin thought to herself, "Only a fool would go! After you leave, I'll go home immediately and call the police to arrest you!"
However, her thoughts were seen through instantly.
Lei Li said, "Mengxin, I love you too deeply. I must have you. If I can't have you, I will destroy you!"
Destroy?
What did that mean?
Jiang Mengxin was a little stunned.
Lei Li continued, "If I don't see you at the church at eight tonight, I will kill you, and then commit suicide. We'll die together, Mengxin. You know my strength, don't think of escaping or calling the police, it's useless. With my abilities, no one can catch me."
Indeed, Lei Li was a ruthless demon who killed without batting an eye.
He was incredibly powerful.
The last time he was arrested was entirely due to Old Master Jiang Dingbian's scheme. He was drugged with a bowl of white wine served by Jiang Mengxin herself and was captured while unconscious.
He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
Now that Lei Li was out, he couldn't be caught again.
After uttering these threats, Lei Li left directly, leaving Jiang Mengxin in a daze.
Jiang Mengxin was beside herself.
If she didn't go, without a doubt, she would be killed by Lei Li. She didn't want to die!
But... if she went...
No, Jiang Mengxin absolutely would not go. She was unwilling to marry a murderer like Lei Li.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming did have some merits.
At least Lu Ming wouldn't go around killing people.
Compared to Lei Li and Gu Lixuan, Lu Ming was slightly better.
*Hoo*
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mengxin calmed herself and began to think of a solution.
Who could help her?
She first called several acquaintances for help, but as expected, they all refused. No one wanted to get involved with that lunatic Lei Li.
She then called business partners to see if anyone would lend a hand.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Who would be foolish enough to oppose Lei Li, that insane murderer?
What's more, some even gave her foolish advice, suggesting that Jiang Mengxin should just break off her engagement with Lu Ming and marry Lei Li. With a husband like Lei Li, no one would dare bully her in the future.
Heh!
Jiang Mengxin rolled her eyes.
Even if she died, she wouldn't marry that lunatic Lei Li.
After making more than twenty calls, exhausting all possible contacts for help, she found that no one was willing to assist her.
Jiang Mengxin was extremely disappointed.
She thought that by becoming the head of the Jiang family, she would have a commanding presence and could achieve anything she wished. But who would have thought that a single Lei Li would leave her helpless?
What to do?
Jiang Mengxin browsed her contact list again and again, looking for anyone else to ask for help.
"This one won't do..."
"This one won't do either..."
"No, no, none of them will do!"
Jiang Mengxin was almost going mad and slammed her phone onto the table.
At this moment.
A familiar yet awkward name appeared on her contact list: Lu Ming!!!
"Him..."
Jiang Mengxin awkwardly ran a hand through her hair.
Lu Ming was her fiancé. In fact, according to the normal order, she should have called Lu Ming first.
But Jiang Mengxin just didn't want to call him.
One was because she disliked Lu Ming, and the other was because she didn't want to admit that Lu Ming's capabilities surpassed hers.
But at this point, who else could she turn to besides Lu Ming?
"Heh heh." Jiang Mengxin gave a bitter laugh, shook her head, and muttered to herself, "Jiang Mengxin, oh Jiang Mengxin, you tried all sorts of tricks to sideline Lu Ming, looked down on him and despised him. But in the end, when you encounter danger, you have to seek his help. How ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous."
"Sigh..."
Jiang Mengxin picked up her phone and, with trembling hands, dialed Lu Ming's number.
*Ring, ring, ring...*
After three rings, the call was connected.
A familiar yet strange voice came from the other end: "Mengxin, what is it?"
Jiang Mengxin was very embarrassed.
She was the one who had pushed Lu Ming away. Now that she was in trouble, she had to come to him for help, which felt somewhat ignoble.
But she had no choice.
Jiang Mengxin braced herself and said, "I... I've encountered a little trouble. I've been targeted by a narcissistic killer who is forcing me to marry him. Can you... can you help me resolve this problem?"
Her face turned crimson with shame.
She was afraid that Lu Ming would refuse her because of their past encounters, so she intended to 'bribe' him with money. One million should be enough.
She continued, "If you are willing to help me, I can give you..."
Before she could say "one million," a firm voice came from the other end: "Where are you? I'll come over now and help you."
Jiang Mengxin's heart trembled violently.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
