When did Zhang Ruo come to this world? How did she know Lin Ping?
Zhang Ruo had no idea about their shared history. She cheerfully called out to Lin Ping, “Honey, come over and say hi to Yingying and Third Brother.”
Luo Yings mind buzzed. Honey? Could they be married?
“You guys… Married?” Luo Ying asked hesitantly.
“No, it’s just a term of endearment,” Zhang Ruo explained with a sweet smile. It was clear that she was satisfied with this relationship and very invested in it.
Lin Ping awkwardly walked to the bedside and forced a stiff smile. “Hello, Luo
Ying. Hello, Third Brother,” he greeted, but his heart sank when he said LuoYings name.
In the past, not being able to have Luo Ying had left him heartbroken for a long time. By chance, he met Zhang Ruo, who he thought shared some inexplicable similarities with Luo Ying. She had touched his heartstrings inadvertently. He had tried to get close to Zhang Ruo but had not expected her to fall in love with him at first sight. Somehow, they ended up together.
Zhang Ruo was beautiful, and because of her similar personality to Luo Ying, Lin Ping grew fond of her.
He had thought that he had completely let go of his feelings for Luo Ying, but the moment he saw her today, his heart was still filled with deep emotions. Scenes of their past together surfaced before his eyes: her dazzling performances on stage, their playful gaming sessions…
He still loved her so much that he couldn’t free himself from it.
He looked at Luo Ying with passionate eyes, but she instinctively avoided his gaze.
“Yingying, Lin Ping is quite accomplished. He runs a massive company overseas called D’Corporeal,” Zhang Ruo proudly introduced to Luo Ying.
D’Corporeal. It was a familiar name. Luo Ying suddenly remembered—wasn’t that the Lin family’s illegal business overseas back then?
After Lu Zhao dealt with the Lin family, DCorporeal lost its funding source and went bankrupt. How could Lin Ping be operating it now?
What kind of projects was DCorporeal working on now? If it was still involved in underground activities as before, wouldn’t it be dangerous for Zhang Ruo and Lin Ping to be together?
Luo Ying looked at Lin Ping, who seemed guilty and was avoiding her gaze.
“Ruoruo, you should catch up with your friend. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first,” Lin Ping said.
Zhang Ruo pouted unhappily, “l was planning to have lunch together. I bought a lot of groceries.”
Lin Ping affectionately stroked her hair and said, “Be good, I’ll leave first.” Lin Ping left the room after greeting them.
Zhang Ruo turned back to Luo Ying and pinched her cheeks gently. “I’ll prepare a table full of delicious food for lunch today to nourish you. Look at how skinny you are.”
Luo Ying nodded happily. Zhang Ruo was an excellent cook. In the past, she often went to Zhang Ruffs house to enjoy her meals.
Zhang Ruo got up and went to the kitchen with the groceries.
While looking at Zhang Ruo’s back, Luo Ying felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if her previous life in that world had returned.
She turned on her phone and saw a trending news article that had gone viral: “The Luya Group Suppressed the Future Entertainment Industry: President Lu Pursues Love and Seeks Revenge.”
Wasn’t that the major shareholder of Su Ran’s company?
Lu Zhao had taken decisive actions again, which perfectly matched his character.
The comments section below the article also had various opinions, but most of them were still convinced by Lu Zhao’s actions.
“Where can I find a lover like President Lu? There’s a new case of jealousy in
Lan City.” “Above, two cases.’ “Three cases.’
“13,285 cases.”
Luo Ying couldn’t help but chuckle at the comments.
However, there were also voices of doubt.
“Everyone says that Su Ran is framing Luo Ying, but no one can produce any evidence.’
“Why do we need evidence for something like this? Su Ran has been resentful of Luo Ying for a long time.”
“What kind of charm does Luo Ying have to make President Lu fall head over heels for her?”
“Su Ran offended Luo Ying, so messing with Su Ran is understandable, but why involve her company? The others are innocent.”
“Can you guys wake up? Luo Ying almost lost her life. Why are you acting like internet saints?”
Luo Ying didn’t comment on these discussions, but in truth, she did have evidence. That day, when she overheard Chen Jing calling Su Ran in the stairwell, she had secretly recorded it.
However, Third Brother had forbidden her from contacting Lu Zhao at the moment, so she could only delay this matter for a couple of days.
“Dang dang dang, the last dish is sweet and sour pork ribs,” Zhang Ruo announced as she carried a plate of steaming ribs and placed it on the table..
