Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 823: The Invigorating Aura of Youth

Then there’s Lu Jing, who lingered at her doorstep, claiming he had no friends and nowhere to go. Though his heart was aching and he was suffering from insomnia, in front of her, he still pretended nothing was wrong, and only after she fell asleep did he retreat to the living room alone, dazed.

Clearly, it was Lu Xiao who lied, yet all the misunderstandings ended up being Lu Jing’s to bear.

Zhang Lingying couldn’t help but pick up her phone again. She responded to the nastiest comments criticizing Lu Jing in an effort to clarify things for him.

Her fingers moved swiftly; without copying and pasting, she replied meticulously to each comment, hoping someone online would see her messages and change their perception of Lu Jing slightly.

As she kept replying, her comments quickly gained attention, and people began to respond to her.

When Zhang Lingying received the notification, she was excited and quickly opened it.

Seeing the replies left her dumbfounded.

——Lu Jing treats his own parents so poorly, and someone still speaks for him? The original poster must be an orphan, right?

——Don’t insult orphans like that. Even orphans wouldn’t do something so cold-blooded. Probably hired by Lu Jing to clean up his image.

——Think having money lets you do anything? Earning this kind of money means your mother is gone.

——Lu Jing’s reputation is already in tatters and you’re still defending him, acting like you’re the only sober one among the drunk masses. It’s disgusting.

——Did you not see that even Lu Jing’s face fans and wife fans are too guilty to speak up for him?

The posts Zhang Lingying replied to quickly became popular, but without exception, they were all criticizing her.

No one believed what she said, and even less believed in Lu Jing.

Holding her phone, Zhang Lingying’s grip turned pale as she saw those sharp remarks online. She felt suffocated, worried Lu Jing would feel even worse if he saw them.

She exhaled lightly, set her phone down, and started clearing the dishes from the table.

As she emerged from the kitchen, she noticed a business card lying on the shoe cabinet at the entrance out of the corner of her eye.

She remembered it was given to her in haste by Lu Jing’s assistant when leaving yesterday. At the time, she was carrying a suitcase and casually put it on the shoe cabinet.

Zhang Lingying stepped forward, picked up the card, stared at it for a while, and then dialed the number on it. Someone picked up quickly...

Near noon, Zhang Lingying appeared at the entrance of the Re Group’s office building.

She wore a white shirt paired with ripped jeans, her long hair tied into a ponytail, with a makeup-free face, red lips, and white teeth, exuding a refreshing aura of youth, quite captivating.

Delivering a meal for the first time, Zhang Lingying was a bit nervous. Holding the thermos box in her hand, she took a deep breath before entering.

Just as she was about to register at the front desk, an assistant who had received her call in advance hurried down, "Miss Zhang, President Lu is still in a meeting. Please follow me, and I’ll take you up."

The place where Lu Jing was having his meeting was in the top-floor conference room, right next to the president’s office.

The assistant originally intended to have her wait in the office, but as they passed the conference room, Zhang Lingying spotted Lu Jing sitting at the oval conference table through the glass door and instinctively stopped.

Someone was reporting work inside the conference room. The soundproofing was excellent, and nothing could be heard from outside.

Lu Jing was dressed formally, supporting his head with one hand, listening to the report with a stoic expression and occasionally frowning. The atmosphere in the conference room visibly grew tense with his expressions.

Just as the assistant was about to remind Zhang Lingying that she couldn’t linger here, Lu Jing inside, seemingly sensing something, unexpectedly looked up at her...

The next moment, he was already standing up from his seat!
