Chapter 745 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (22)
At eighteen, it's the age when you're filled with curiosity and fantasies about all the opposite sex.
They always view contact with the opposite sex with a lewd eye.
Another friend slipped away halfway through, unaware of what had happened, and asked:
"What little girl? How pretty could she be? Could she be prettier than the Mu family's little princess?"
My friend quickly shook his head:
"Of course not."
His friend's teasing did not elicit the slightest change in Lu Ting's mood; he was not interested in such things.
Yes, but all I could see was impatience.
"Shut up."
Knowing his personality, his friend smiled and said nothing more, and the three of them gradually walked away.
Jiang Wanqing heard the entire conversation.
Watching their retreating figures, his heart inexplicably quickened.
Lu Ting did not deny it.
He seemed to accept his friend's teasing.
So, he must have had feelings for her to have come to save her, right?
From that moment on, Jiang Wanqing fell deeply in love.
To get to know Lu Ting, she went to an internet cafe for the first time.
Fortunately, Lu Ting was very popular on campus, and she found some posts about him on Baidu Tieba.
Lu Ting comes from a distinguished family, is handsome, and has a cold and aloof personality.
She was so glad that she had applied to the same university as him.
That way, Lu Ting would know that she wasn't an ordinary waitress; she was his junior from school.
Perhaps he will think more highly of her.
Once she gets to school, she'll definitely find a chance to thank him in person.
Jiang Wanqing began to look forward to the start of school.
Before school even started, she saw a post revealing that Lu Ting was in a relationship.
His love interest is his childhood sweetheart, Mu Zhou, who is also a prominent figure.
Mu Zhou?
Jiang Wanqing instantly recalled what Lu Ting's friend had said after that banquet.
Is she the very beautiful little princess of the Mu family?
For the first time, Jiang Wanqing felt jealous of Mu Zhou, whom she had never met.
Why? Because school starts in just one week, and she'll be able to meet Lu Ting.
Why did you take him away?
After the start of the school year, she began to consciously approach Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou is much easier to approach than Lu Ting, and his personality is also much easier to control.
She loves to hear sincere praise and is also a little soft-hearted.
So Jiang Wanqing pretended to admire her, while occasionally revealing her own weakness and helplessness, as well as her perseverance in the face of difficulties.
Sure enough, Mu Zhou easily treated her like a younger sister.
Finally, she had the chance to meet Lu Ting.
Contrary to her expectations, Lu Ting treated her no differently than anyone else.
His cold treatment hurt Jiang Wanqing.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Mu Zhou is a petty person. Perhaps he pretended not to know her just to protect her?
Later, she worked hard and got a job at Lu Ting's company.
Sure enough, after Mu Zhou left, Lu Ting took extra care of her.
She thought that she still held some place in Lu Ting's heart.
Even if she couldn't compare to Mu Zhou, she was content.
Jiang Wanqing never considered competing with Mu Zhou for Lu Ting's affections; she could see Lu Ting's love for Mu Zhou.
All she needed was to stay by Lu Ting's side, and for Lu Ting to have even the slightest place for her in his heart.
Therefore, she never felt guilty in front of Mu Zhou.
A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. She only had a crush on him and didn't use any tricks to steal him away, so she felt that she was acting openly and honestly.
Who knew that Mu Zhou would go crazy and do something stupid, marrying Lu Ting's older brother Lu Chen in order to get revenge on Lu Ting.
That's when she realized she had a chance.
Of course, she wouldn't reveal all of these dark thoughts.
She only talked about how she met Lu Ting, how he redeemed her, and how she secretly fell in love with him.
Then there's her willingness to secretly love Lu Ting so as not to put him in a difficult position, content as long as she can be by his side, and grateful for his care.
She portrayed herself as a submissive and tolerant person who compromised and yielded.
As long as Lu Ting is happy, she'll do anything.
“Lu Ting, you were still single when I fell in love with you. I have a clear conscience. If anyone was involved in something, it was Mu Zhou who was the one who interfered in our relationship. I have kept your kindness to me in my heart. I know I am not good enough for you, so I don’t ask for anything more.”
She sobbed:
"How can you be so heartless? We've clearly... and you still won't admit it."
Jiang Wanqing's words left Lu Ting stunned for a long time.
After a long pause, he finally uttered a cold-blooded and ruthless sentence:
"I don't remember this, and I don't remember you either. The idea that Mu Zhou interfered is utter nonsense. I've liked Mu Zhou since I was a child, and that has never changed."
While distancing himself from Jiang Wanqing, he once again confessed his feelings for Mu Zhou.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, his cold expression unchanged, only his eyes behind his glasses flickered for a moment.
He looked at Mu Zhou without any reaction, and even rolled his eyes before silently intertwining his fingers with Mu Zhou's.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanqing's face stiffened, and she even forgot to shed tears.
She never told anyone about the first time she met Lu Ting.
She still remembers the humiliation she suffered at that time, so she is unwilling to mention it to anyone.
Especially Mu Zhou.
She didn't want Mu Zhou, who was already high and mighty, to know about the embarrassment of being bullied at will.
She interpreted Lu Ting's silence as a sign of thoughtfulness.
She thought that Lu Ting might be avoiding the topic because he felt it would embarrass her.
Now, she's reopened her wounds in front of everyone, only to find that Lu Ting doesn't remember her at all?!
"How could this be? Lu Ting, why did you lie to everyone? If you don't remember me, why were you taking such good care of me?"
"You came to pick me up after I was plied with alcohol by a sleazy business partner and even took me home. You took me to the hospital when I was sick. You patiently taught me how to do things when I made mistakes at work and even covered them up for me. How can you say you don't like me after all this?!"
Jiang Wanqing's accusations, word by word, not only angered Lu Ting but also sent a chill down his spine.
He was somewhat afraid to meet Mu Zhou's gaze.
He thought that there must be a mocking sarcasm in that gaze.
Yes, he denied it countless times; he was so righteous and awe-inspiring.
As it turned out, everything Mu Zhou said was correct.
Ironically, he even accused Mu Zhou of misunderstanding.
It turns out, he was the one who misunderstood.
Jiang Wanqing really liked him, and he did indeed do things that made Jiang Wanqing misunderstand.
wrong.
All wrong.
Faced with Jiang Wanqing's accusations, his face gradually showed signs of dejection, yet his resolve remained firm:
"If what you're saying is true, I would have stopped you back then, simply because I didn't like someone acting recklessly in my uncle's territory and doing that kind of thing, and it has nothing to do with who you are."
"Besides, all the care I gave you was because you are Mu Zhou's junior. She asked me to take care of you, so I paid more attention to you. If you misunderstood, then I apologize."
"But from beginning to end, I have never liked you in the slightest."
He spoke without any mercy, leaving no room for negotiation.
Mu Zhou curled his lip after hearing this.
He spoke with such righteous indignation.
Was he taking care of Jiang Wanqing for her sake?
If even she, the person in question, is unhappy, why would he rather continue to make her unhappy than compromise Jiang Wanqing even a little?
To prevent her from causing trouble for Jiang Wanqing, they went to great lengths to send her to the branch office to support her, and even planned to send her to Europe to study, all to keep her away from her.
Despite such thoughtful arrangements, she still insists on denying that she has no ulterior motives.
Nausea.
