Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 720: In one aspect, you will never surpass him!

"You think I like Qin Nanyu, so you deliberately had someone leak the scandal between Qin Nanyu and me? You mentioned Ji Weitian just now, do you know her? You know full well that Qin Nanyu doesn’t like me, yet you still did this intentionally, just waiting for Qin Nanyu to clarify the matter, so you could use it as an opportunity to come and sow discord between us?"

Zhang Lingying’s expression became complicated, as she considered another possibility.

If Qin Nanyu hadn’t cleared up their relationship so quickly, would the person Lu Jing sought out now be not her, but Ji Weitian?

Zhang Lingying was no fool; from the first time she saw Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian together, she could tell that they were a couple.

Although she didn’t know what had happened that made their interactions seem awkward, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Qin Nanyu liked Ji Weitian.

She had just arrived at the Jiangcheng University Laboratory a few days ago. She was unfamiliar with many things and needed Qin Nanyu’s help; they were almost inseparable.

Zhang Lingying was personally trained by Professor Zhang and was also obsessed with experiments.

When working, her mind was fully focused on the experiments, and she didn’t intentionally maintain a distance from anyone.

Now that she thought about it, with the scandal between her and Qin Nanyu suddenly spreading online and Lu Jing stirring up trouble, Ji Weitian might really misunderstand her relationship with Qin Nanyu...

"President Lu, although I am young and uninformed, my father has taught me strict family values. Even if I liked Qin Nanyu, I wouldn’t interfere in someone else’s relationship, especially since I only admire his talent and enjoy discussing academic issues with him. It’s not at all what you think. Please stop your pointless tricks."

Zhang Lingying spoke plainly, without waiting for Lu Jing to respond, she continued on her own.

"You just asked me, how exactly are you inferior to Qin Nanyu? I can answer you now."

"..."

"A businessman with a bottom line might not create a business empire, but behind a huge business empire, there must be a businessman with a bottom line. If roles were reversed, Qin Nanyu would never attack a competitor in the way you do. On this point, you’ll never measure up to him!"

Having said this, Zhang Lingying didn’t want to stay another second and turned to leave.

She didn’t care about Lu Jing’s reaction or whether he followed her; she left straightforwardly.

It wasn’t until someone grabbed her shoulder from behind that she instinctively thought it was Lu Jing. Without thinking, she turned around and forcefully pushed away the hand on her shoulder, while reprimanding, "Don’t touch me!"

But as she finished speaking, the person who appeared before her wasn’t Lu Jing, but a face she didn’t recognize.

Warm eyes, clean and carrying goodwill.

He was wearing a duckbill cap, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

Even though he was a stranger, his demeanor was so amiable that it didn’t make people feel repelled. Meeting her gaze, he quickly apologized, "Sorry, that was presumptuous of me."

"..."

Zhang Lingying, coming back to her senses, glanced behind him but didn’t see Lu Jing, then turned her gaze back to the stranger.

The stranger, who seemed just a few years older than her, spoke again.

"Hello, my name is Leng Jian, a friend of Ji Weitian. I’m looking for Miss Zhang because there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. May I take a moment of your time?"

Before Zhang Lingying could respond, Lu Jing, who had seemingly disappeared, reappeared from nowhere and answered before her, "No!"
