Chapter 826: He Has an Alibi
Lu Jing’s rationality hadn’t yet reacted, but his head instinctively nodded. He looked at the personal doctor, who was staring at him in shock, and said, "I won’t need any more nutritional injections from now on. You can leave."
"President Lu..." The personal doctor’s eyes were so full of shock that it seemed almost tangible, splitting into cracks in his pupils, unable to recover for quite some time.
It wasn’t until Lu Jing pressed the internal line phone again to have the secretary escort him out that the personal doctor was almost half-dragged out of the president’s office. Before leaving, he kept staring at Zhang Lingying, as if suspecting she had secretly cast a spell on Lu Jing.
After all, he had spent several days trying to improve Lu Jing’s anorexia without success. But as soon as Zhang Lingying arrived, Lu Jing’s condition improved.
Once the personal doctor left, the office suddenly felt quiet.
Lu Jing walked over to the sofa, a little uneasy, not daring to get too close. He watched Zhang Lingying pack up the lunch box, already prepared to leave.
Her expression was very calm, seemingly indifferent to what the doctor had just said and not planning to question him.
Just as she was about to turn around, she looked back at Lu Jing, "You..."
"Can you stay with me a little longer?" Lu Jing spoke suddenly, interrupting her.
Zhang Lingying paused for a moment, then nodded, putting down her things and sitting on the sofa.
Lu Jing quickly sat down with her, placing his hands on his knees, his back very straight, looking like a student seriously attending a class, visibly nervous.
"Do you, do you want something to drink?"
"..."
Zhang Lingying glanced at the water cup in front of her, looking at him in confusion.
Lu Jing remembered he had already asked this question, pursed his lips, and explained forcefully, "I mean, do you want to switch to a different drink?"
"No need, plain water is fine, and I’m not very thirsty." Zhang Lingying turned to look at him, noticing his eyes dimming after being refused. She thought for a moment, then asked, "Will you really eat well?"
Lu Jing: "...Yes."
If you’re here.
Lu Jing’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say the rest.
Zhang Lingying didn’t notice his expression. Hearing his promise, she smiled slightly, but then remembered something, and her smile faded.
She reached into her pocket, took out her phone, opened a message she saw this morning, and handed it to Lu Jing, "Are the things being said online true?"
"What?" Lu Jing frowned, looking down to see it was a video of reporters interviewing Lu Xiao. His expression turned cold, and he asked back, "What do you think?"
"Your father... the things Lu Xiao said, I don’t believe them. But your competitive style in the business world has always been aggressive, and... ruthless." Zhang Lingying paused, lowering her eyes without looking at Lu Jing, and continued.
"The Re Group once bribed people in the Qin Technology Group’s lab, trying to steal their experimental results. If it weren’t for Weitian, the Qin Technology Group would likely have been backstabbed by you, becoming a laughingstock in the industry."
"Since you can investigate this matter, did you also investigate where I was when this happened?" Lu Jing threw the phone back into her lap, chuckling disdainfully.
Zhang Lingying was stunned for a moment, and in the next moment, she heard Lu Jing tug at his tie, lean back against the chair, his demeanor turning unruly, with a slightly mocking tone, "At that time, I was living with you."
Zhang Lingying: "..."
