Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 866 - A Three-Win Deal

Chapter 866: A Three-Win Deal

The more Meng Chao listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

However, Lu Fanghui’s voice sounded gentler, as though he was a kind father.

“Now, Siya finally has the power that she has always dreamed of, but to obtain it, she has also paid a considerable price, which includes her personality.”

Lu Fanghui paused for a moment and sighed before he continued, “My daughter’s personality really needs some work. She is too sharp and sensitive. As a ‘sensitive’ person, she can see dirt that ordinary people can’t see, but she can also see through the filth in the depths of people’s hearts. Moreover, she often suffers because of these filth.

“In order to avoid being hurt, she chose to arm herself with an aggressive style and an overly proud personality. It’s like putting on a thick, hard, and indestructible armor because her heart is too weak so that she can maintain her combative state at all times.

“A tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Of course, such a personality is of no benefit. Many people in the circle now call her the Queen Bee. That is not a compliment.

“As a father, I am very anxious for my most beloved daughter, but I also know that if she did not use such a sharp personality to cut through all the hards.h.i.+ps on her path of growth, she would have been unable to withstand the torture and completely collapsed.

“It was impossible and impossible for me to change my daughter’s personality. I only hoped that I could find someone… who was complementary to my daughter’s personality to protect her and give her a helping hand at the critical moment.

“In the beginning, I found Lin Chuan.

“At that time, Lin Chuan was truly an outstanding young man. His relations.h.i.+p with Siya was also very good, including his cultivation potential, ability to do things, image, and demeanor. They were all top-notch choices.

“I thought highly of Lin Chuan in the past. I nurtured him wholeheartedly and even treated him like half of my son.

“It was a pity that I was at the critical stage of my career at that time, too. I was dealing with my siblings, uncles, and shareholders of Sky Pillar Corporation, as well as the compet.i.tion between Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation. It was impossible for me to devote 100% of my time, energy, and resources to Lin Chuan.

“In the end, as you know, Lin Chuan really disappointed me.

“I thought that he and Siya were complementary personalities. I didn’t expect that they were the same kind of people. The so-called toughness, straightforwardness, and carefreeness were all fakes. Deep down, Lin Chuan was actually a villain who felt extremely inferior because of his background.

“The inferiority made it impossible for him to accept my kindness and deal with his relations.h.i.+p with Siya properly.

“His inferiority also made him more and more extreme. Eventually, he fell into the demonic path.

“How hateful! That b*stard!

“It is not easy for my most beloved daughter to open the layers of thick armor and show her most fragile heart to others.

“However, for the first time, and perhaps the only time in her life, Lin Chuan chose to stab her deeply in her heart!

“After learning the whole process, I was utterly shocked and furious.

“Although you had already retreated from the outbreak of the Red Radiance Jade tide without any damage on the surface.

“But I was very worried that Lin Chuan’s betrayal and hurt would completely distort Siya’s heart and turn her into a lifeless machine from then on.

“Thankfully, none of that happened.

“Up until now, although her personality and style have been criticized, in my opinion, Siya is normal and healthy enough.

“All of this is thanks to you, Meng Chao. It was you who accompanied Siya and helped her walk out of the shadow of Lin Chuan’s betrayal.”

Hearing this, Meng Chao coughed violently.

He felt that if he did not say anything more, he would npt be able to avoid it.

“Director Lu, oh, Uncle Lu, I think you’ve misunderstood…”

Meng Chao was not a fool. Of course, he could read Lu Fanghui’s burning eyes.

However, in this matter, Lu Fanghui was indeed like many people who had misunderstood his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Siya.

From the perspective of an ordinary man, with Lu Siya’s figure, appearance, family background, and the power she wielded, she would not only save him twenty years of effort, but also save him a lifetime of effort.

Meng Chao believed that even if Sister Ya, who was a Queen Bee, was ten times more powerful, there would still be men who were willing to throw themselves into the fire, right?

Moreover, to be fair, no matter what Lu Siya did to others, whether she often took things by force or played tricks, she was still very loyal to Meng Chao.

For example, during the battle in the Lair, if Lu Siya hadn’t rushed into the Lair alone and trusted him unconditionally, he wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.

However, apart from grat.i.tude and trust, Meng Chao really did not have any other thoughts.

On one hand, with the Kindling in his body, all he wanted to do was to reverse the future and save Dragon City.

He spent his days tempering his muscles and bones, cultivating his soul, and exploring the mysteries of the ancient era. He was not very concerned about the marriage problems of the older men and women in the city.

On the other hand, having traveled all over the other world in his previous life, he had once experienced endless spring of all sorts and forms.

His tastes had long been heavily modified by various saintesses, demonesses, catwomen, leopard women, dragon women, female elves, and female giants of the Other World.

Meng Chao wondered in his heart if he was a person who had broken away from low-level tastes and only wanted to worry about the country and the people and save the country.

However, those, uh, bizarre, soul-stirring, magnificent, and even shocking scenes appeared from the depths of his brain every night and drilled into his dreams. They could not be blocked.

It made him feel bored every day when he woke up. He did not feel the slightest bit moved when he saw pure-blooded human girls. He only wanted to talk to them about life, ideals, and how to contribute to Dragon City.

He was also very helpless. There was nothing he could do!

That’s right. Recently, he had been in deep communication with the brain. He could often read information about the ancient war. He could even transform into an ancient beast and crazily reproduce in one, no, a hundred forms that were completely different from human-like creatures. He had unlocked countless incredible methods and postures to experience the splendor of life and the mystery of gene transmission.

He was used to all this and could never go back.

Therefore, Meng Chao was not targeting Lu Siya.

Instead, he was not very interested in all the girls in 100% human form.

Having experienced the coming of the end of the world, he did not think that the marriage between two people had to be based on feelings.

But if even the most primitive desire was lacking, why force it?

“I didn’t misunderstand anything.”

Lu Fanghui’s expression did not change as he calmly said, “Do you think I’m talking about feelings with you? Although Dragon City has won the Monster War, we haven’t completely escaped from the Other World and still face the predicament of the apocalypse.

“In the cruel apocalypse, there’s no room for feelings.

“What I’m talking about with you is a deal, a deal that benefits everyone.”

“A deal?”

Meng Chao frowned deeply.

“That’s right. A three-win deal.”

Lu Fanghui’s gaze sharpened again as he stared at Meng Chao. “I think the reason you’re hesitating to join the Heavenly Dragon Club is that you’re worried you won’t have much say in the face of the nine big families after you join. You’ll be easily marginalized and even be used as a weapon, right?

“I don’t know what other people think. Maybe some of the big families have the intention of turning you into a puppet, but as long as we make this deal, at least I, Siya, and the entire Lu family will definitely stand on your side.

“You can rest a.s.sured and use the resources on my side. I can also increase our investment in you and Superstar Resource.

“For Siya, this deal will allow her to gain the absolute support of ‘Dragon City’s youngest Heaven Realm expert and blood medal winner.’ It will also help her win the hearts of the ordinary citizens and the descendants of the poor families that you represent.

“You know, in the past, although the two of you often appeared in teams and promoted together, because of Siya’s background in the nine n.o.ble families, many ordinary citizens and descendants of the poor families still held a certain prejudice against her. They didn’t dare to sincerely accept her.

“It goes without saying that the deal will help Siya compete for the vast market represented by the children of the humble cla.s.s and the ordinary citizens.

“As for me, if the deal can be carried out, I will have the help of two super rookies with unlimited potential. It will be immeasurably beneficial, if not decisive, for me to raise my status in the Lu family and expand my power in Sky Pillar Corporation.

“Look, everybody can benefit from the deal. It means that the deal is real, sincere, and stable. In this world, people often betray their feelings, but very few betray their own interests, don’t you think?”

Meng Chao was dumbfounded.

He finally understood where Sister Ya’s ambitious, unscrupulous, and enterprising personality came from!

Thinking about it carefully, in his previous life, due to the explosion of the Red Radiance Jade vein and the death of Lu Siya, Lu Fanghui had not been able to hold on to his position as the chief executive of Sky Pillar Minerals for a long time. Since he had not been able to become the head of the Lu family, he had naturally not been an outstanding figure who would leave a deep impression on Meng Chao and influence Dragon City.

Today’s conversation made Meng Chao realize that the real Lu Fanghui was much more powerful than he was in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had just lacked some luck and opportunities.

In this life, through Meng Chao’s changes, he did not lack anything!

Lu Fanghui misunderstood Meng Chao’s expression.

“It seems that you’re really a person who values relations.h.i.+ps. That’s true, at your age, who wouldn’t yearn for a pure and beautiful relations.h.i.+p?”

Lu Fanghui said, “But that’s not a problem at all. It doesn’t matter whatsoever—once this transaction is successful and we’ve gotten what we want, you can talk to whoever you want about a pure and beautiful relations.h.i.+p. It doesn’t matter even if it’s a hundred times. Do you think that Siya and I would care about such trivial matters?”

Meng Chao stared at him with his mouth agape.

He had gooseb.u.mps all over his body.

He was stunned for a long time before he said, “Is this… all right?”
