That damned man!
Lei Qian cursed in his heart. He turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "Please sit down."
Bai Meiyue nodded as she flattened her skirt with her hands and sat down on the couch. She raised her head and looked at Lei Qian before saying straightforwardly, "I believe CEO Lei knows why I am here, right?"
"Well," Lei Qian had faced countless dangerous situations, including several assassination attempts and deals that nearly failed. Not to mention when he was young, he was sent to the military by his grandfather, all because someone teased him.
Back then, his grandfather sent him to the military because he wanted Lei Qian to become more 'masculine.' And though Lei Qian did become a bit strong, his face remained the same.
Though that was not important.
The thing that was important was how he had faced countless dangers and yet in front of Bai Meiyue, he couldn't help but lower his head. He was not worried about trouble, but he was afraid of a woman as petite as Bai Meiyue. He said to her, "I know. I have already thought of a realistic way to compensate you."
"What do you mean by that?" Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes. Though she did come here to get money, the way Lei Qian spoke made her feel annoyed. "Are you saying that you are going to throw money in my face in exchange for sleeping with you? Are you treating me in the same manner as those girls in the red light district?"
Lei Qian was even more embarrassed. He did not mean that! How could he!? To the woman he had liked for the longest time?
He glanced at Lei Wu who was still lurking around the corner and felt as if he was being squashed between two heavy boulders. If he said that he wanted to marry Bai Meiyue to take responsibility, Lei Wu would certainly find out and cause trouble for Bai Meiyue.
But if he sent Bai Meiyue away without giving her an explanation, she would certainly hate him even more.
He awkwardly said to Bai Meiyue, "I never meant that… I know that you are not such a woman. I know you were drugged by someone that night."
"And yet you took advantage of me?" Bai Meiyue questioned sharply. She wanted to make the man as guilty as possible before asking for the compensation that she wanted.
Lei Qian opened his mouth; he wanted to tell her how he had idolised her when they were kids and how his admiration had then changed into love and adoration for her.
But if he were to say such things, he would only cause Bai Meiyue to be caught in the middle of a trouble that was not hers.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said to Bai Meiyue, "Miss Bai, I didn't mean for such a thing to happen. I was also drunk, but since it has happened, the two of us can only move forward."
"As you already know, our families are incompatible. I cannot marry you, but other than that, whether its resources or movies, you can request anything that you want. I will make sure that you rise further in the entertainment industry."
Lei Qian had a really good plan. He knew that Bai Meiyue would certainly ask to join his company as an ambassador; once she was to sign the contract, he was going to have enough chances to get close to her.
However, reality slapped him in the face.
Bai Meiyue, who had no reason to continue her career in the entertainment industry, shook her head. Neither did she want to act nor did she want to marry Lei Qian.
Thus, his suggestion worked just right for her.
When the world ends, for whom will she act? The undead? Bai Meiyue didn't think that they had any appreciation for art.
She said to Lei Qian, "Since Boss Lei is so honest—how about a hundred and fifty million yuan?"
"Hundred and fifty—what?" Lei Qian repeated stupidly.
"A hundred and fifty yuan," Bai Meiyue repeated with a frown on her face. "I believe that CEO Lei is aware of his reputation outside, right? Many believe that you are interested in men, you can say—that I have helped you wash away a stain that would have troubled you for ages."
"Since that is the case, then don't you think one hundred and fifty million yuan makes sense?"
Lei Qian was speechless when he heard the words of Bai Meiyue. He thought that the woman would cry and make a fuss, but instead she was exceptionally calm.
"Miss Bai…"
"What? Do you think it is not enough?" Bai Meiyue asked with a raised brow. "Then you can round the figure up and add a few guns and rifles. It will be good if you can use machine guns as well."
"Miss Bai! I am afraid that the guns are impossible," Lei Qian refused at once. He didn't know what Bai Meiyue was planning to do with guns, but he had a feeling that it was nothing good. Was she so shocked by what happened that she wanted to kill everyone who harmed her? He wasn't against it, but the society was ruled by law.
If she harmed someone, she would end up locked in prison.
Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and asked coldly, "Are you giving or not? You can't do this and you can't do that either. How are you going to compensate me? Didn't you just say that you will give me whatever I wanted? Why are you backing out so quickly? I thought that you were a man of your words."
Lei Qian was even more helpless. He could not understand how the sweet girl turned into a demon. However, he naturally felt responsible for Bai Meiyue. There was no way he was going to let her do anything that would ruin her life.
Thus he fumbled around and finally found the card that he was looking for.
"Here, take this," he pushed a black card to Bai Meiyue and said to her, "This card has two hundred and fifty million yuan. It will help you with your current needs. Take the extra fifty million and forget about guns alright?"
