Chapter 562: Unreasonable
As soon as she was away from those brainless fans, Meng Ke'er showed her true colors. What goddess, what great philanthropist, all lies to deceive people!
Lin Tian shouted angrily, "Meng Ke'er, what is wrong with you, isn't your sofa meant to be sat on? What's wrong with me sitting down, where am I dirty, where?!"
Meng Ke'er seemed to disdain arguing with Lin Tian, considering him just another brainless fan, unwilling to waste her energy on him.
She yelled, "If I say you can't sit, you can't sit. Wait, I'll go find some gauze for you. And remember, don't get any funny ideas about me. There are bodyguards outside, and if you harbor any ill intentions, I wouldn't mind having them take you to the police station."
"You're too full of yourself. I should be the one worried about you hitting on me, and those bodyguards outside, I could take them down with my eyes closed. If I can take down the assassin sent to kill you, I can certainly take down your bodyguards."
"You...!"
Meng Ke'er pointed a finger at Lin Tian, so angry she was itching to bite, but she had nothing to say. Deep down, she felt uneasy; she had seen Lin Tian's skills, and if she pushed him too far, it would be her at a loss.
She glared at Lin Tian fiercely and stormed off to fetch the gauze.
Lin Tian wasn't afraid of her. He plopped down on the sofa, unable to believe that the goddess adored by everyone, the red-hot celebrity, could be such a person.
A little while later, Meng Ke'er came out with gauze and scissors, and seeing Lin Tian sitting on her sofa again, she was very angry but still dared not say a word.
She threw the gauze and scissors beside Lin Tian and then took out a wad of cash from her bosom. Judging by the thickness, it was around ten thousand.
"Here," Meng Ke'er said angrily as she threw the money at Lin Tian, with contempt, "You saved me, this is your reward. After you go out, just say I personally dressed your wound. With this, we're even. And one more thing, don't you dare try to take any advantage of me. Not even an autographed picture will I give you. Hurry up and dress the wound and once you're done, get out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was furious. If she weren't a woman, he would have hit her.
He tore the money in half and yelled, "I don't give a damn about your money!"
Seeing Lin Tian tear up the money, Meng Ke'er was surprised. Seeing Lin Tian's plain clothes, she thought ten thousand yuan was quite a lot for him. She expected him to thank her, but he just ripped the money apart.
Does he think it's not enough?
No, I cannot indulge such a person. Otherwise, he will become more demanding. Just ten thousand, not a penny more!
Meng Ke'er silently adjudged Lin Tian as a greedy person.
"Let me tell you, giving you ten thousand yuan is already saving your face. Take it or leave it. Dress your wound quickly; I'm not going to do it for you. Once you're done, leave immediately."
Lin Tian barked as he stepped toward Meng Ke'er, "Meng Ke'er, do you think you're so popular now that everyone should revolve around you? Others might like you, but I don't. Stop looking down on people with that lofty, arrogant gaze. In my eyes, you're worth nothing."
"How dare you look down on me, who the hell do you think you are? I've got the looks and the figure. In Huaxia, everyone knows me, everyone is aware of me. Only you dare to scorn me! The earring I'm wearing is worth ten years of your earnings."
She took off a crystal earring, worth six hundred and eighty thousand, indeed enough for an average white-collar worker to earn in ten years.
Lin Tian couldn't reveal his identity; for the moment, he indeed couldn't outtalk her. But soon, he had an idea; he activated his superpower to probe memories and snooped through all of Meng Ke'er's memories from the past three years.
Meng Ke'er, twenty-three years old, a girl from the countryside, naïve during high school, was deceived into Qianshui City, losing her virginity. She then worked for half a year as a hostess in a KTV, where a wealthy businessman fancied her and kept her as his mistress.
With her beautiful looks and a half-year of honing her skills in KTV, her ability to seduce men was very strong. In less than half a month, she managed to get over a million from the businessman before leaving him. By chance, she caught the eye of the chairman of "Angel Entertainment", the magnate Guo Xiaoqiang.
"Angel Entertainment" was a company that specialized in creating stars. Meng Ke'er pulled out all the stops, mesmerizing Guo Xiaoqiang, who spared no expense in promoting her. With her unique voice, she quickly rose to the top. In just over a year, she went from being a mistress to a popular movie star.
It has to be said that Meng Ke'er's experiences were also quite tragic, and it was precisely because of these experiences that her character was distorted, unable to bear seeing others do well, and only happy when stepping on others.
Knowing Meng Ke'er's past, Lin Tian said with disdain, "Meng Ke'er, I don't know where you get your confidence from. Your parents gave you such a beautiful face, such a stunning figure, but you don't cherish it, using them instead for opportunities to climb the ladder. Your success today is all built on dirty deals, and even if you become a superstar, I will never respect you."
"You're talking nonsense!" Meng Ke'er roared defensively, "My achievements today all come from my own efforts. I am pure. In my fans' eyes, I am a noble angel!"
"Oh really? Then tell me, who are Xu Feng, Wan Long, and who is Guo Xiaoqiang?" Lin Tian challenged.
From Meng Ke'er's memories, Lin Tian learned that her first man was named Xu Feng, the rich businessman who rescued her from the KTV was named Wan Long, and now, she is Guo Xiaoqiang's secret lover.
Upon hearing the names of these three men, Meng Ke'er was startled, her face instantly turned deathly pale, this was something only she knew about, especially regarding Xu Feng, who was just an ordinary person, and now, even Meng Ke'er didn't know Xu Feng's whereabouts, how could Lin Tian possibly know this so clearly.
She stared at Lin Tian, exhibiting an unpleasant feeling, and she sputtered out defensively, "What are you talking about, I have no clue what you're saying, just get out, get out."
Meng Ke'er frantically tried to push Lin Tian out, but at that moment, her phone suddenly rang, coincidentally, it was Guo Xiaoqiang calling.
As Meng Ke'er answered the call, Lin Tian, being a Spiritual Warrior, could still hear her even though she lowered her voice to the faintest whisper.
Meng Ke'er: Hello, President Guo?
Guo Xiaoqiang: It's me, yeah! My little darling, why call me President Guo, just call me Xiaoqiang. You're becoming more and more indifferent with me!
Lin Tian knew from the memories that Guo Xiaoqiang was fifty-six years old this year, and for someone his age to say such words, it was truly shameless to the extreme.
Meng Ke'er: Xiaoqiang, what made you think to call me today?
Guo Xiaoqiang: What are you saying? Calling you is because I miss you, of course. I know I've been neglecting you these past few days, but I'll make it up to you today. I've already flown into Wu'an City, and I've booked a room. The address has been sent to your WeChat, I'll be waiting for you tonight!
Hearing this, Meng Ke'er's eyes revealed a look of disgust. She had climbed the ranks by relying on Guo Xiaoqiang, but now that she had achieved fame, she felt there was no need to cling to him anymore, so she no longer wanted to be the lover that Guo Xiaoqiang had a hand in shaping. The reason was simple: Guo Xiaoqiang was old and ugly, incapable of satisfying Meng Ke'er's needs. She believed herself to be beautiful enough, and the only ones deserving of her were young, handsome, and wealthy gentlemen!
She tactfully declined, "Xiaoqiang, I'm not feeling well today and can't accompany you. How about I come over tomorrow night instead?"
Having run an entertainment company for over a decade and dealing with artists for so long, Guo Xiaoqiang was craftier than a monkey. He retorted angrily, "Meng Ke'er, don't give me that kind of excuse. Don't think that just because you're popular now, you can get rid of me. I made you, and I can destroy you too. I'm asking you one question, are you coming tonight or not?"
Meng Ke'er clenched her teeth in anger on the side. She hadn't yet become number one, and truly didn't dare to offend Guo Xiaoqiang.
She forced a smile and said, "Xiaoqiang, why are you angry? If I'm not well, I can see a doctor. Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Tonight, I'll make sure you're taken care of comfortably."
"Don't play tricks with me," Guo Xiaoqiang threatened before hanging up the phone viciously.
Meng Ke'er, with a face flushed with anger, also furiously slammed her phone down onto the ground, her hands clenched into fists, as if she wanted to devour Guo Xiaoqiang.
Under someone's roof, one has to bow their head; she dared not vent her anger on Guo Xiaoqiang, so she stormed out, intending to use Lin Tian as a punching bag.
She grabbed a mop handle and swung ferociously at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian quickly dodged, making her swing at the air.
"What are you doing? You're taking your anger out on me for no reason!" Lin Tian barked.
"I'll give you ten thousand yuan; you tore it up because it wasn't enough, right? This time, I'm offering you a hundred thousand, let me hit you once."
After saying that, she swung at Lin Tian again.
Lin Tian had never encountered such a shameless woman before; he said nothing, picked up a throw pillow, and hurled it at Meng Ke'er.
The pillow was light, but Lin Tian's strength was great, and with the aid of his superpower, he managed to send Meng Ke'er crashing onto the sofa.
Lin Tian shouted, "I'll handle the Guo Xiaoqiang matter for you, and then you do me a favor. Our relationship will be based on mutual benefits, how about that?"
"You, sort things out with Guo Xiaoqiang? Don't be delusional and take a good look at yourself. What makes you think you can handle Guo Xiaoqiang, do you think he's so easy to meet?"
After she spoke, she quickly realized she had said something wrong and promptly stressed, "I'm telling you, I have nothing to do with Guo Xiaoqiang, don't you make false accusations against me."
"Just get out," she said, as she pushed Lin Tian towards the door.
Dealing with such an unreasonable person was beneath Lin Tian, so he simply walked out, ready to plan his next move!
