Chapter 53 Give him a beating for me
"MengRan?"
"right."
"Is this another name of yours, just like how I'm called Liz?"
"You can understand it that way."
"Does anyone else know?"
"No, I've only told you that so far, because I prefer people who are close to me to call me that."
"Hehe~~" Clarissa, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to the side and grasped Meng Ran's hand, which was on the gear lever, interlocking their fingers.
Clearly, the phrase "I've only told you this so far" made her very happy, thinking that all the time she spent getting sore cheeks was worthwhile.
But then, thinking about it, she said, half complaining and half whining, "I think I should go to church to confess."
"Repent for what?"
"Repent for the things I shouldn't have done."
"Don't tell me you're a devout believer like your father."
"I don't know." Clarissa didn't really know whether she was devout or not, but she had indeed been taught the doctrines for 22 years.
"It's okay, you've already repented, God will definitely forgive you," Meng Ran said with a smile. I've already apologized, what more do you want?
"I think so too," Clarissa laughed.
"So, Kiran has never been in a relationship?" Meng Ran asked curiously, as the doctrine restricts not only Clarissa.
"He has a girlfriend, who is also a lawyer and a colleague of his."
"Then doesn't he also have to repent?"
"That's unclear. Maybe they didn't cross the line?" Clarissa shook her head.
"If that's really the case, then Kieran's image in my mind is incredibly magnificent." Meng Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"So, in your eyes, my image has become tarnished, is that right?"
"If it's just my own indulgence, that's not indulgence, that's the fun between lovers, baby." Meng Ran reached out and ruffled Clarissa's red hair.
Clarissa rolled her eyes at him, then reached out and pulled down the sun visor on the passenger side, fixing her messy hair in front of the vanity mirror.
As she tidied up, she glanced at Meng Ran sideways and said, "And what about you? Are you only bothering me?"
"My roommates throw parties every weekend, and they always invite me to join them," Meng Ran said, without giving a direct answer.
Instead, they gave an example and started to subtly change the subject, guiding the conversation in a different direction.
"And then?" Clarissa was indeed led astray.
"I've chosen to move," Meng Ran laughed.
Upon hearing this, Clarissa immediately burst into laughter.
But as she laughed, she couldn't help but ask, "Does Theron know you moved?"
seriously.
Clarissa's mind was completely occupied with Cyron; she had even forgotten about Thea.
Because in the past few months, she had never witnessed Meng Ran and Xi Ya engaging in any overly intimate behavior. Her mind had instinctively blocked out any potential risks from Xi Ya.
More importantly, Theron is rich and good-looking, making him extremely competitive.
At this moment, Meng Ran also keenly realized this.
He thought that if Clarissa could keep an eye on Theron, wouldn't it be much safer for him and Thea to be together?
That's great!
Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in Theron.
He used her as a shield to take the bullet.
Thinking of this, Meng Ran deliberately coughed lightly and said, "Darling, I can control myself, but I can't control others."
Good guy!
One sentence set off alarm bells in Clarissa's mind.
What does that mean?
Is Theron really planning to have something happen between you?
What exactly did you two discuss in private?
Before she could think further, Meng Ran deliberately and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Now, Mira and Frank are almost settled. We're just waiting for an opportunity to deal with Howard."
"Once Howard leaves the association, the board will only have seven people. You have three votes; you only need one more to oust Eunice."
"Cyron, she..."
"Let's talk business. Trust me, I'm not interested in Theron."
"..." Clarissa was speechless.
I do believe you're not interested in Theron, but the problem is Theron is interested in you!
How many people could resist being seduced by such a sexy and rich woman?
If I were a man, I couldn't handle it.
She forcefully shook off the chaotic thoughts.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked with some worry, "Even if we get evidence from the docks, will it really implicate Howard?"
Based on past experience, many NGOs have encountered similar problems.
But in the end, the blame was all placed on the outsourcing company, and the NGO itself did not receive any punishment.
Thinking of this, Meng Ran said thoughtfully, "It would be great if I could go into the scrap yard and take some photos, especially of the low-level workers who are being abused."
The gruesome work scene is paired with his own "photography genius" prop card.
Meng Ran was confident that this news would cause a public outcry.
Once there's a public reaction, it's incredibly easy to drag Howard into it.
The problem is that Tessa had explicitly stated that there was a gang called the River Rat Gang guarding the area.
There might even be more than one gang.
In this situation, if you rush in, you'll most likely come out lying down.
After all, one [Rage Card] only lasts for 3 minutes, which is simply not enough.
Shaking his head, Meng Ran continued, "If all else fails, we'll have to rely on a vote. Which of the remaining board members do you think is easiest to manage?"
"Father Jim of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary is a good man, as long as we can prove that we are kinder than Eunice."
"How can you prove that?" Meng Ran chuckled.
"I have my own way. Don't worry, I don't need you to teach me everything step by step. I can handle it."
"There are some things that you don't need me to teach you step by step; you're self-taught."
"!" Clarissa's ears turned bright red instantly.
One sentence kept echoing in my mind: "Huh? You swallowed it?!"
15 minutes later……
Meng Ran escorted Clarissa to the entrance of the association.
Yesterday, the two of them drove Meng Ran's old Buick to the banquet. Therefore, Clarissa's car was parked at the association, so there's no need to worry about how she'll get home after get off work.
The probe took the initiative to peck Meng Ran on the lips.
Clarissa then got out of the car.
After getting off the bus, she even leaned against the window and said, "Call me if you miss me, my dear Mengran."
She liked this special nickname.
This would make her feel that the relationship between the two of them is closer.
When Meng Ran heard her call him by his Chinese name, he felt a moment of disorientation. If possible, he wished that everyone around him would call him that.
He was afraid that if he stayed for another five or ten years, he would forget who he was.
It's like when I went to university in another city and only spoke Mandarin for a semester. When I went back to my hometown and spoke the local dialect, I could clearly feel that my speech was not authentic.
If this continues, he feels that his Chinese proficiency will also deteriorate.
Shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Meng Ran glanced at the four-story red brick building where he had worked for several months through the car window, chuckled, and stepped on the gas to leave.
And by the window on the second floor.
Jimmy gritted his teeth as he watched the old Buick drive away into the distance.
Damn!
Clarissa and he just kissed in the car, right?
It was Clarissa who took the initiative!
Oh no!
Why is that?
I'm clearly more handsome than this guy.
I clearly come from a better background than this guy!
Jealousy keeps accumulating.
Jimmy recalled the time when Thea had hit him.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. He quickly pulled out his phone and found a number labeled "River Rat Gang Reg".
Then, he ran up to the second-floor balcony and dialed a phone.
"I want you to teach someone a lesson for me."
"No, no, no, I didn't ask you to kill anyone. I wouldn't dare to get involved in murder. I just need you to take a few men and beat him up."
"He's not some big shot, just a poor, unemployed guy."
"Damn it, my uncle gave you such a big business deal, and you still want money from me for this little thing?"
"$500 it is, I hope you can record the whole thing, I want to keep it for myself!"
