Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 847: The Deepest Scar in the Heart

Ji Weitian was still sitting next to Leng Jian, watching the interaction between the two, with an amused smile on her face.

The more she looked, the more she felt that Zhang Lingying and Leng Jian were a perfect match. She was just about to say something when Zhang Lingying noticed her presence, interrupting her conversation with Leng Jian, and quickly spoke up, "I have other things to do, I won’t disturb you."

And then she slipped away.

Ji Weitian missed the chance to tease Zhang Lingying and could only tease Leng Jian.

"She’s already gone far away, and you’re still looking?"

"..."

"If you can’t bear it, do you need me to arrange something to adjust your workstation next to Zhang Lingying’s? But it seems the experiments Zhang Lingying is responsible for aren’t the same as yours, this could be a bit troubling..."

Leng Jian lowered his eyes, pulled out his chair and sat down again, glancing at Ji Weitian, "Don’t make a fuss, it’s not like what you think."

Ji Weitian: "I didn’t say what I was thinking, but some people, secretly helping to pick schools for someone, and being eager to retrieve contracts for them, it’s so obvious!"

Facing Ji Weitian’s teasing gaze, Leng Jian suddenly said, "She reminds me of my sister."

Ji Weitian: "..."

Ji Weitian suddenly snapped back to reality, "Are you talking about your biological sister? But didn’t you say she was already dead?"

"Yeah." Leng Jian’s eyes darkened, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and a sense of oppressive low pressure enveloped him, "I must have been overthinking it."

He closed his eyes as a small figure appeared in his mind, like a little tail, always liked to follow behind him, calling "brother, brother."

But before he grew enough to protect her, she accidentally drowned.

The day she died was New Year’s Day, the little girl who always liked sticking to her brother quietly slipped away to a deserted place, just to pick a bouquet of flowers as a holiday gift for her brother...

This matter has always been the deepest scar in Leng Jian’s heart.

Ji Weitian only heard about it once when he was drunk, and she didn’t know the specifics. Seeing that Leng Jian didn’t want to talk more, she didn’t dare to ask further.

Zhang Lingying returned to her seat, not noticing the changes over there. She opened her computer, ready to try if there was a better model solution when her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it; it was an unknown number.

She hesitated for a few seconds, but still reached out to answer it, "Miss Zhang, I apologize for the sudden disturbance, I’m President Lu’s assistant, do you remember me?"

"..."

Zhang Lingying moved her phone away in surprise and glanced at the caller ID again, vaguely remembering this phone number.

She just couldn’t understand why Lu Jing’s assistant was calling her.

"Is there something you need?"

The assistant’s anxious voice came through the phone: "Miss Zhang, I know you might be angry right now and don’t want to answer my call, but President Lu’s condition is really bad. Ever since his mother passed away, he’s had insomnia, and he hasn’t eaten anything in the past two days..."

"If he’s sick, take him to see a doctor, there’s no use in coming to me." Zhang Lingying thought of the last time she saw Lu Jing, the scene of them parting unhappily, and interrupted the assistant.

If he’s going to die, let him die far away, she didn’t want to meddle.

"President Lu is already in the hospital, but the doctor said if the patient doesn’t cooperate with the treatment, there’s nothing they can do." The assistant sounded like they were about to cry.

Zhang Lingying didn’t speak, and the assistant continued.

"On that day, President Lu really didn’t want to argue with Miss Zhang. Not long after you left, President Lu fainted from anger."
