STEP AWAY! THE ANTAGONIST WANTS TO ESCAPE
82.

Mu Jena's face immediately wry. He could no longer maintain his smile. What Lu Ming said was half true. It is true that he did not have the money to buy skincare.

Pshaw! let alone buying skincare! To be able to keep eating three times in one day only he had difficulty.

But he has not reached the stage of suffering from hunger pangs.

But the hungry busung will immediately attack him if the situation continues this way.

For two months he was living in hell.

His father's company is bankrupt.

It all started with an investor suddenly withdrawing his money, not knowing what was the cause but his actions made other investors start following in his footsteps. One by one withdraw their funds until finally the company does not have enough liquidity and causes the only project that is the last hope to reverse the situation can not be continued due to lack of funds.

Then things got worse when the bank refused the proposed debt making them forced to borrow money from blood leeches whose interest was three times higher than the bank interest.

And all that was not done, things got worse when the boss leech suddenly charged his money one month earlier than the contract. And those who could not pay back the money now had to hide like rats to avoid the debt collectors.

Mu Jena who was used to living a luxurious life of course could not adapt to that situation. He can't live hard.

It only took him a month to lose a third of his weight. His skin, which was always treated with expensive treatments, had a breakout when his skincare ran out. He who had been glowing turned dull, yellow and acne.

All his acquaintances suddenly disappeared simultaneously. When they contact relatives and relatives, they always have a reason to hang up before he can say he wants to borrow money. There is a sudden crying child, bad signal and there are also those who pretend to urinate. Everyone avoids it like avoiding a virus.

Their only hope was the Lu family. Hoping that with the relationship he had in the past, the Lu family was willing to provide help. But the few times Mu Yan took her to visit Lu's residence they had always been the housekeeper Ahn said if elder Lu was not home. They know it's a lie, but what can they do? They can't do anything.

The same thing happened when they wanted to see Lu Ming. They couldn't even get through the security at the entrance.

Until this morning when he came out of the sneaker to buy food, someone gave information that Lu Ming and Ming Yue would appear in this place. He did not waste any time and immediately went to the location. As soon as he saw those two people he immediately approached him.

But this time the target was not Lu Ming but Ming Yue.

That was why he ignored Lu Ming's painful sentence. "Sister Yue must have known what happened in Jena's house. Just this time, Jena beg your brother for help..." Mu Jena started her show, she purposely spoke rather loudly so that passers-by could hear her. When she saw some people looking at them curiously, she continued, "Because she knew that big brother Yue could not forgive her yet... Jena's... Brother Yue..." Tears began to fall on her cheeks and she purposely spoke in a beheaded manner.

Ming Yue's brows twitched. He looked at Mu Jena wryly. Wanna use some public sympathy, huh? Go to the temple and ask the Buddha for blessings before challenging him!

Ming Yue pinched her thigh and instantly her eyes turned red and teary. He then puffed up and then snatched away the snot— that was not really there, from his nose.

It was as if he was trying hard not to cry. Then Ming Yue turned her head and looked at Lu Ming with reddened eyes with tears welling up, then she said in a slightly raucous voice, "Lu Ming, you also heard that my mother did not need my help. Just this one time let me help them." After the sentence was spoken, with a dramatic tear falling down her cheek. "I can't just sit back and see my mom in trouble, I have to help them. Jena, tell me what kind of help you need, brother will try his best to help." He continued. Wiping the tears on her cheeks using the back of her hand then turned to face Mu Jena.

Mu Jena was a little shocked, not expecting it to be this easy to ask Ming Yue for help. He did not miss the opportunity and answered.

Afraid that Ming Yue would change her mind. "Sister Yue, we only need three hundred billion." He mentioned the nominal needed to pay the debt and buy skincare.

"Three hundred billion. I don't have that kind of money..." In his heart he screeched, Why don't you become a leech. You have natural talent!

Ming Yue pulled on Lu Ming's shirt sleeve and looked at him with a pleading gaze. Lu Ming remained silent. "Lu Ming's..." Ming Yue whined. "They're my family. It's my duty to help when they're in trouble. And also... "

"And what too?" Lu Ming's hand improvised with the Ming Yue script, he clenched his hand and frowned as if he was holding back from yelling at Ming Yue. "Don't think about the no-no. They are no longer your family. The man you call mom has been dead since you were a baby. Then your stepbrother wants to take your future husband. Don't you remember?!" Lu Ming said at length. The more words he spoke, the blacker his face became.

"God... It's so sorry for him. His mother and step-sister were so happy."

"Ah, I remember now. She was the first daughter of the Ming family, until it was broadcast on national TV, when her mother ran away with another man one week after she was born. It's so sorry for him."

"I didn't expect Ming Yue to experience all that. I've regretted hating her all this time."

"Why hate it too? What's wrong with her besides being too pretty."

"True, there's no reason to hate him. Thank God for sending President Lu for her."

"His mother dumped him and his half-sister wanted to seize her husband. So barbaric. How vivid Ming Yue."

"Then it's appropriate that he won't help."

"Who is disobedient? Her mother's. His mother is a bad one!"

"CEO Lu don't let Ming Yue be used. Lingdungi your wife."

When things no longer sided with him, Mu Jena became panicked. She tried hard to control the situation, she smiled weakly and said, "Sister Yue, back then mama had no choice. During this time you never forget your sister, on every birthday you always cry all night. Blame yourself and regret for not taking your sister away with you. Mama also always tried to contact her sister, but she was afraid and felt it was inappropriate to face her sister." His head was down and he was all excited. "Sister, don't misunderstand me either. Jena had no intention to snatch Brother Ming from big brother. It was pseudo because mom saw sister unhappy with sister's engagement, so mom thought about freeing sister from the matchmaking that sister didn't like." Mu Jena raised her head and looked at Ming Yue with a glare.

As long as Ming Yue listened to the rant of nonsense that came out from Mu Jena's mouth, she had already finished compiling the fifty paragraphs of praise sentence that she would convey when giving Mu Jena an Oscar award.

He breathed a little heavy. Her tear glands had long stopped flowing, her tears were already dry. She was amazed by Mu Jena's ability, in addition to her good acting, she was also good at composing scripts. It is regrettable that Mu Jena did not jump into the film industry.

His acting managed to get half more of the spectators to back side with him.

"really so? Then you should have come five years ago when I wasn't engaged." Ming Yue slightly lost her patience. This game no longer feels fun, he is bored and wants to end it immediately.

"Sister, that..." Mu Jena wanted to dodge but Ming Yue did not give her a chance.

"Where do you know I'm not happy being betrothed to Lu Ming?" Ming Yue cut. "Don't everyone already know how shameless a Ming Yue was after Lu Ming." She added. Declared achievement.

Lu Ming who heard the confident acknowledgement of Ming Yue almost choked, he hid his cough with a dehem.

It made him get a sharp glare from Ming Yue. Were it not for that guy selling expensively, there was no way he would have earned the nickname of the shameless woman who did not know herself to continue chasing after the man after her love clapped one hand and was rejected!

When Ming Yue remembered the hurtful comments on her social media account, it was eager for her to twist someone's neck!

Lu Ming who caught the frenzy in Ming Yue's eyes felt his back slightly wet. His eyes were slightly red and he grumbled inwardly.

Blame her who was already soiled from the orok. How happy she was when she was betrothed to Ming Yue. He thought everything would go smoothly and as he wished and he could lovey-dovey along with Ming Yue every day.

But reality hit him so hard that he didn't know what to do. When he found out if he was only treated like a ticket to freedom, Ming Yue had no feelings for him, Lu Ming felt the sky collapse and his world doomsday.

His love for Ming Yue clung so tightly that he could not let go and could only foolishly seek attention and hope that Ming Yue would see him.

Lu Ming did not want to feel any more of those days, he immediately racked his brains in search of a way to win the noble heart of Ming so that he could be saved when he got home later.
