Zhao Ritian could almost picture it: Lin Xiaohan helping him up with a look of deep concern. That was how a woman who truly loved him would act. But in the next moment, she walked right past him and over to Yang Lu.
Zhao Ritian’s heart sank, but he quickly reassured himself, ‘She’s probably just going over there to scold Yang Lu. She’s too shy to help me up in front of all these people!’ He told himself this over and over. ‘That must be it! I shouldn’t doubt her—it was wrong of me to question her loyalty.’
He felt a pang of guilt. She was definitely going to stand up for him, he just knew it.
But what Lin Xiaohan said next felt like a stone shattering his heart.
“You know, I’ve discovered another good quality of yours.”
“Oh, what’s that?”
“You’re really helpful to others.” She said with admiration as she looked at Yang Lu. Zhao Ritian had come over to cause trouble, but instead of holding a grudge, Yang Lu had actually tried to help him up. In a world where kindness was rare, Yang Lu was a hidden treasure.
Lin Xiaohan had made up her mind—she would never let this treasure slip through her fingers. If she lost him, she’d regret it for the rest of her life.
At this moment, Zhao Ritian, still on his knees, couldn’t hold back. Overcome with anger, he spat out a mouthful of blood. ‘Is she serious? Does she really think he was helping me? It’s obvious he wasn’t!’ Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Zhao Ritian began to feel as though the world was mocking him. Even fate seemed to be laughing at him.
Yang Lu, a bit embarrassed, responded, “I didn’t realize my hidden virtues would be noticed so easily. Well, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Wait! My father’s birthday is next week. You have to come!” she called after him.
“Birthday party? Sure,” Yang Lu replied with a smile. He remembered that this birthday party was a big event in the original novel. He’d made a fool of himself at it, and Zhao Ritian had thrived in the spotlight. That day had been one of his worst. But this time, things were going to be different. As he glanced one last time at Zhao Ritian kneeling on the floor, he walked away with anticipation. Next week was going to be quite a show.
“Wow, how can he even look this cool from behind?” Lin Xiaohan thought as she watched Yang Lu leave. She couldn’t help but feel captivated. Had she been blind all this time, not seeing the remarkable man right in front of her?
Meanwhile, Zhao Ritian, still on his knees, spat out another mouthful of blood. Lin Xiaohan’s words felt like salt rubbed into his wounds.
“Zhao Ritian, you’re such a disappointment. You’ve embarrassed the entire company!” Lin Xiaohan’s voice was filled with contempt. “Tomorrow, write a ten-thousand-word apology, and your salary for this month will be docked.” This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
Men should only kneel to heaven, earth, and their parents, she thought. But Zhao Ritian’s actions were shameful. He wasn’t just disgracing himself; he was disgracing the Huihuang Group as well. Without looking back, she walked away, disgusted. She couldn’t understand why her father had hired someone like him.
“No…” Zhao Ritian roared, enraged as Lin Xiaohan walked away. Today had been the most humiliating day of his life. But he clenched his fists and made a vow. At next week’s birthday party, he would reclaim his dignity and make Yang Lu pay for what he had done today.
“Sir, please settle your bill. And don’t forget to cover the damages you caused,” a restaurant employee said, holding a receipt. But Zhao Ritian punched the staff member, his knuckles hitting the staffer’s knee. “I’ve been humiliated enough, and now they expect me to pay? No way!”
Outside the restaurant, Yang Lu got into his car. His driver turned to him. “Young Master, shall I take you home?”
“No, take me to the Public Hospital.”
The driver was puzzled. The family didn’t usually go to the Public Hospital, but he did as he was told.
As Yang Lu gazed out the window, he chuckled, “Song Weiwei, the third female lead… Let’s see what happens.” He remembered that Song Weiwei, a key player and one of Zhao Ritian’s big allies, was currently at the People’s Hospital. This was an opportunity he wouldn’t miss. He cracked his knuckles, anticipating the entertaining events that were about to unfold.
