Lu Ya was also stunned.
She only thought whether her brother had caused some troubles, but she didnât expect that he actually made Cao Yingying, the prized daughter of the Cao family, to thank him personally.
Then, had she misunderstood Lu Li before?
âNo thanks needed, I wasnât doing it for you,â Lu Liâs tone was very stiff, speaking the truth.
He didnât even care about himself, why would he care about a woman who had nothing to do with him.
Hearing this, Lu Ya was so angry she almost hit someone. This was a golden opportunity to connect with the Cao familyâs daughter, which could be hugely beneficial for the Lu Corporation, yet this kidâŠ
âAnyhow, I still want to thank Mr. Lu Li. I will personally visit tomorrow to express my gratitude for Mr. Lu Liâs help,â Cao Yingying didnât mind and showed a graceful smile to Lu Li.
After Cao Yingying left.
Lu Ya excitedly grabbed Lu Liâs shoulder, âYou little rascal, you actually helped the Cao familyâs daughter, do you know what this meansâŠâ
Before Lu Ya could finish, Lu Li slapped away the hand on his shoulder and left directly.
He didnât notice the pained and regretful look in Lu Yaâs eyes behind him.
Perhaps Lu Yaâs scolding had a deeper meaningââWhy get involved in such things, couldnât you avoid it? What if you got hurt?â
But those words turned into cold scoldings at the moment of speaking.
***
Back at home, Cao Yingying found information about Lu Li.
According to the information, this man named Lu Li was always called the loyal dog of President Zhang Ziqin, but after being publicly humiliated by Zhang Ziqin along with Ye Chen and Lu Ya at the Zhang familyâs banquet, he seemed to have changed.
This explained why Lu Li was so indifferent; he was trapped by love!
Betrayed jointly by family and lover.
And that Ye Chen⊠must be the man who publicly embarrassed Lu Li at Grandfatherâs birthday banquet!
With just a thought, Cao Yingying sensed Ye Chenâs intentions.
Her eyebrows couldnât help but furrow, completely unable to understand the mentality of Lu Ya and Zhang Ziqin. A man so devoted, humiliated publicly by an outsider at the banquet, and
they didnât show any reaction.
Especially since one of them was Lu Liâs sister by law.
The other was the woman Lu Li had pursued for eight years.
Why were they so heartless, even if not speaking for Lu Li, but they shouldnât look at him with such eyes!
Thinking of Lu Ya scolding Lu Li before, Cao Yingyingâs expression was somewhat strange.
***
The next day, Cao Yingying went to the Lu familyâs mansion. In the vast mansion, only Lu Li received her.
Without dressing up, not even a decent lunch was prepared, and Lu Li was responding to her questions intermittently, looking very impolite.
As if he had seen through the mortal world.
This was very different from the people she usually interacted with.
Until she was about to leave, Lu Li suddenly looked up.
âStrychnine, serpent skin, tortoise shellâŠâ A long list of medicinal ingredients came out of Lu Liâs mouth. He looked up at Cao Yingying, âCombined with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, it could improve your grandfatherâs leg condition, showing effects within a month.â (tln : The author is making things up, donât take it seriously)
Lu Li didnât know why he suddenly felt like speaking, maybe because at that banquet, this girl didnât join others in mocking him!
The whole world, under the lead of the protagonist Ye Chen, mocked you, only she was the exception.
Cao Yingying looked at Lu Li in surprise, but saw him still with an indifferent expression, even making one doubt if it was Lu Li who had spoken before.
But Lu Li didnât speak anymore, as if everything hadnât happened.
***
âGirl, where did you get this weird remedy from? Stop troubling Grandfather, alright? Grandfatherâs legs are beyond help,â Grandfather Cao looked helplessly at his granddaughter.
âGrandfather, just give it a try, it wonât take much time,â Cao Yingying said with a light smile, not knowing why she believed it, maybe it was truly a shot in the dark!
A month later, against all expectations, Grandfather Caoâs legs actually gained some sensation and reacted to external stimuli.
Cao Yingying was overjoyed.
Grandfather Cao was extremely happy, âGirl, where did you get this medicine from? Itâs actually effective, you must thank that doctor properly!â
Cao Yingying hesitated to mention Lu Liâs name, simply brushing it off.
***
When she visited the Lu familyâs mansion again, she didnât see Lu Li. Facing the eager Lu Ya, Cao Yingying briefly greeted and then excused herself.
She couldnât understand why a man as devoted as Lu Li had such bad luck, loved by none, and even his relatives were so mercenary.
Luckily, she saw Lu Li again the next day.
âThank you, because of your prescription, my grandfather is now getting better.â Tucking her hair, Cao Yingyingâs smile was sincere and beautiful.
But Lu Li was still indifferent, âGot it, if you came just to say this, you can go back.â
***
Following that, not knowing why, perhaps wanting to thank Lu Li for his help with her grandfather, or maybe feeling a bit defiant.
Despite being superior to Zhang Ziqin in everything, that Lu Li actually ignored her so.
Gradually, she realized Lu Li had always been like that, still confessing to Zhang Ziqin, but his words lacked emotion, as if acting, becoming a specific character at a specific time.
Other times, Lu Li always liked to be alone and quiet.
âHello, is anyone here?â She asked with a gentle smile.
Lu Li looked up slightly, not understanding why this woman kept approaching him, but stood up anyway.
âNo oneâs here now.â He didnât want to have any involvement with the female lead outside the plot anymore.
Lu Li wouldnât narcissistically think Cao Yingying had a good impression of him. With the lesson learned, he wouldnât have any more of those false illusions.
***
âYingying, do you like that boy from the Lu family?â Grandfather Cao, who could now stand up, watched his granddaughter with a mischievous smile, teasing her.
âGrandfather⊠Not at all!â Cao Yingying was flustered by the sudden question, her cheeks blushing.
âHa ha ha, these days youâre dressing up, making up, even asking Xiao Zhang to help you match clothes, I, this old man, have never seen my Yingying so concerned before!â Grandfather
Caoâs teasing gaze made Cao Yingyingâs face turn even redder.
âThat kid is not bad, young yet knowledgeable in medicine, will be a good match in the future. If my Yingying likes him, then go for it bravely,
I donât believe my Yingying would lose to that ignorant girl Zhang Ziqin.â Grandfather Cao was very open-minded; the Cao family didnât need a marriage alliance.
As long as Cao Yingying liked him, that was good enough.
âGrandfather, you knew?â Cao Yingying was surprised.
âHa ha ha, you little girl thought you could hide it from me, youâre still too green.â
