Chapter 113: Cheering for Friends, Bidding Farewell to Enemies
Life is a wonderful thing, with loved people by your side and disliked ones disappearing from view. Those hated are resolved in the most desperate of manners.
Hmm⊠That Lu Ya seemed like a reborn individual too, and thinking about her final appearance, it really did resemble Zhang Ziqinâs. Could it be another person who realized they loved me after my death? Tui! Disgusting.
Had I known this earlier, I would have acted myself, making Lu Yaâs departure even more despairing. Being soft-hearted, engaging in tender love with those who killed me, is not something Lu Li would do. He had placed all his hopes in his previous life; the current him⊠is cruel! Aside from a few girls who have entered his heart, he harbors no mercy for others.
Anyone who offends him faces vengeance, deadly vengeance. Oh right, thereâs also that darn Li Zichuan! A good brother, no explanation needed. Unexpectedly, even after deliberately distancing himself in his previous life,
Li Zichuan still considered him his best brother, the first to avenge him, paying with his life. Thatâs a true brother from another mother!
That dead woman, Zhang Ziqin, actually provided useful information before her death. Make the most out of it!
âAre you in a good mood?â Gazing at Lu Li, Cao Yingying flashed a bit of resentment. Damn it, she never thought sheâd be outshined. This guy came back, grabbed her, and ran off without saying anything. Chen Xiaoyi, covering her face, shyly stole glances at Lu Li. She could tell, Lu Li was truly happy today, happier than heâs ever been.
âOf course, Iâm in a good mood. Youâre all by my side, and my enemies are completely finished. How could I not be?â Lu Li tactfully responded, knowing Cao Yingying understood more, but Chen Xiaoyi still had much to learn. Best to take care of her now! Of course, Chen Xiaoyi must learn in the future too.
âYou just be smug. Iâm telling you, I put up with you today, but donât expect it in the future!â Cao Yingying poked Lu Liâs forehead. She knew he was in high spirits now and had refrained from spoiling it earlier, but that didnât mean she liked this.
âHa-ha-ha, then Iâll go find Xiao Yi and You Meng. Let them team up against you, the big boss.â Lu Li laughed heartily.
âNo way!â Chen Xiaoyi popped her head out, brandishing her fist at Lu Li in protest.
Embarrassed to death, this bad guy.
âWait, from what youâre implying, you want to promote the maid?â Cao Yingying sharply caught the hidden meaning in Lu Liâs words, squinting her eyes.
âWell⊠not entirely. You Meng will still cook and handle cleaning,â Lu Li explained.
Knowing it wasnât You Meng who killed him in his previous life left Lu Li in good spirits. But considering she had worked for Ye Chen, the protagonist of the story, Lu Li naturally harbored some bitterness.
Ye Chen was the protagonist, and though the story changed because of Lu Li, the thought of You Meng having worked under the protagonist left him somewhat resentful.
âYou really are petty!â Cao Yingying laughed helplessly.
Jealousy aside, she wasnât one to hold grudges, especially against other women. A little temper towards Lu Li for fun was enough; she wouldnât extend it to others.
âPetty, so what? Hmph!â
âDonât disgust me. How old are you? Do you still think acting coy is cute?â Cao Yingying playfully glared at Lu Li, who was suddenly acting spoiled.
âEw, Lu Brother, act normal.â Chen Xiaoyi chuckled, feigning disgust.
âAlright then, you all want to rebel, huh? See how I deal with youâŠâ
Lu Li, like a bandit descending from the mountains, menacingly scooped up both.
âAh, Lu Brother, calm down⊠donât do it~~â
âLu Li, you better behave!!â
Amidst the playful banter and joy, Lu Li began to delegate tasks for tomorrow.
âAlright, now that everything is settled, Iâm heading to Magic City tomorrow. Xiao Yi, arrange the company matters and come over. Yingying, are you coming with me, orâŠâ
âMy grandfather has started exercising again these past few days, regaining his strength. I need to stay with him for a few more days, or those people canât manage him.â Cao Yingying sighed. Her grandfather, now able to walk again, was overjoyed, and she needed to keep an eye on him, lest he attempt somersaults.
âItâll just be a few days. Grandfather will soon be completely recovered once he calms down.â
Lu Li nodded understandingly: âThen, Iâll go ahead and settle the real estate there, and you can just move in when you arrive.â
Chen Xiaoyi frowned slightly: âLu Brother, are you really in such a rush to go to Magic City? The Su and Liu families have just merged into Lu Corporation. If thereâs unrest nowâŠâ
âIf theyâre inclined to act, no matter how long I suppress it, it will eventually happen. If not, theyâve already accepted it. Donât worry, Yingying will still be here for a while. If you have any issues, ask her, or just call me!â Lu Li smiled reassuringly.
Would the Su and Liu families cause trouble? Perhaps, but it wouldnât amount to much.
Cao Yingying rolled her eyes at Lu Li, exasperated. What was he on about? Clearly, he was setting her up to be the bad guy, to guide Chen Xiaoyi.
Speechless!
Having oneâs woman guide another, only he could come up with such a plan.
But then again, Chen Xiaoyi was also destined to help Lu Li manage his empire, so she might as well lend a hand!
âDonât underestimate Yingying. There are things you still donât understand, but Yingying does.â Seeing Chen Xiaoyiâs furrowed brows, Lu Li reminded her.
âLu Brother, I understand.â Chen Xiaoyi nodded seriously.
Despite Cao Yingyingâs usual unassuming appearance as she tended the gardens of the Lu family estate, she truly was more capable than Chen Xiaoyi, a fact Chen Xiaoyi had to acknowledge. freeweÉnovel.cĂžm
The future first lady, the legitimate wife in Chen Xiaoyiâs view, was definitely going to be Cao Yingying.
âPhew!â Lu Li nodded again, pulling both into his embrace: âThen Iâm off with You Meng first. Donât make me miss you too much.â
âGet lost, trying to annoy me, right? Let me tell you, have You Meng be careful. If she ruins you, see how I deal with her.â Cao Yingying laughed warmly, her threats lacking any real menace, merely playful banter.
Cute, so cute!!!
Awwwl!!!
