Chapter 722 I have already found that person
"No, if you can do such things, why can’t I talk about it?" Lu Jing smiled with a face asking for a beating, leaning in close to her, articulating each word deliberately.
The flush on Zhang Lingying’s face turned from embarrassment to anger, she felt like punching his head into oblivion.
She turned to look at Leng Jian, "I’m sorry Mr. Leng for the spectacle, but as for my affairs, I make my own decisions. You mentioned you had something to discuss with me, and I happen to have time right now."
"My car is parked over there, Miss Zhang, please come with me." Leng Jian spoke with impeccable gentlemanly manners, taking the lead.
Lu Jing hadn’t expected her to agree to go with Leng Jian, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He reached out to grab her, but Zhang Lingying had anticipated it and avoided his touch, following Leng Jian’s steps directly.
"Zhang Lingying!"
Lu Jing called out loudly, but Zhang Lingying did not hesitate and got into Leng Jian’s car, leaving him in the dust.
His face turned ashen.
"Miss Zhang, your seat belt." Leng Jian drove out of Jiangcheng University’s parking lot, noticing Zhang Lingying still seemed upset, he softly reminded her.
Hearing his voice, she came back to her senses, her first reaction was not to fasten the seat belt, but to seriously explain to Leng Jian, "I really don’t know that jerk Lu Jing well. The nonsense he spews is either meant to disgust me intentionally or possibly to drive a wedge."
"..." Leng Jian did not respond, but raised his eyebrows in a look of surprise, Zhang Lingying knew more than he had expected.
"I am now a member of Qin Technology Group’s laboratory. If I had an unclear private relationship with the CEO of Qin Technology, there’s no need for Young Master Yu to doubt me; I would suspect myself first. I understand this principle," Zhang Lingying said, self-mockingly.
She was about to continue ranting about Lu Jing when her phone rang.
The screen showed an unfamiliar call. She hesitated briefly before answering.
The next second, she heard Lu Jing’s voice from the other end of the phone.
"Zhang Lingying, let’s be frank, I’ll let go of your prejudice against me for now, and I can overlook you taking advantage of me as well, but regarding the rumors spreading online about you and Qin Nanyu, I..."
Zhang Lingying cut off the call, promptly blocking Lu Jing’s number as well.
She didn’t want to exchange another word with him.
Leng Jian focused entirely on driving throughout, seemingly not interested in prying into her privacy, which made Zhang Lingying’s expression soften a lot.
The two entered a restaurant together, choosing a spot by the window.
Zhang Lingying was about to pull the chair out when an arm beat her to it, pulling it out for her, "Please, have a seat. What would you like to drink?"
Leng Jian waited for her to sit down before he took his place opposite her.
He picked up the menu and handed it to Zhang Lingying first, then asked.
Some people’s manners are such that even if they wear the most ordinary clothes, they exude a natural dignity that utterly crushes the likes of scoundrels like Lu Jing.
Zhang Lingying had been skeptical of Leng Jian’s identity, but now she believed it.
She glanced at the menu, chose a few dishes she liked, and ordered a dessert.
Putting down the menu, she suddenly asked, "I wonder what Mr. Leng wishes to discuss with me?"
Leng Jian handed the menu to the waiter to place the order and then parted his lips indifferently.
"We need to talk about the rumors spreading around the internet today about you and Qin Nanyu. Miss Zhang must have realized this was not an accident, but rather someone manipulating behind the scenes. I have already found out who that person is."
