Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 874: Reverse Scale

"Where did you get hit? Let me see." Qin Nanyu’s focus was completely different from Ji Weitian’s.

He carried Ji Weitian to the guest sofa, bent down, lifted her skirt, and upon seeing the red bruise on her knee, his brow furrowed.

Ji Weitian couldn’t concern herself with this, grabbing his hand and anxiously saying, "I’m fine, but finish what you were saying earlier. What exactly is going on with Zhang Lingying and Lu Jing?"

Qin Nanyu released her, walked back to his desk, pressed the intercom to have his assistant bring in some medicine, and then explained to Ji Weitian, "Lu Jing was hospitalized due to severe grief over his mother’s death, rumored to be quite serious. The hospital is very tight-lipped, and no one can currently find out Lu Jing’s specific condition."

In the internet age, nothing can truly be kept from everyone.

The day Lu Jing was hospitalized, someone online leaked the information.

Initially just speculation, not many believed it, but as Lu Jing frequently missed group meetings, the news gradually spread.

At first, because of Lu Xiao, netizens were overwhelmingly against the Lu family, accusing Lu Jing of being unfilial.

But once Lu Jing’s hospitalization was confirmed, the online rumors about his being unfilial gradually decreased, and some netizens began to question whether Lu Xiao’s criticism of his biological son had other motives.

Although Lu Jing’s reputation didn’t improve immediately, the insults indeed decreased.

Furthermore, Re Group announced new research data, targeting Qin Technology Group, drawing attention from all sides to the technological battle between the two groups. The vague aristocratic scandals of the Lu family suddenly became mere gossip, no longer the focus of attention.

This series of actions seemed to have a strategy of "besiege Wei to save Zhao."

"Do you suspect that Lu Jing isn’t really sick, but that Re Group deliberately released false information to salvage the group’s reputation? And what about Lu Jing and Zhang Lingying? I remember Zhang Lingying always rejected Lu Jing, how did they suddenly... suddenly start living together?"

Ji Weitian was silent for a moment, still unable to digest the information.

"Do you think Leng Jian knows?"

"You’ve been worried all along just about Leng Jian being cuckolded?" Qin Nanyu raised an eyebrow, his tone changing.

Ji Weitian, worried that Zhang Lingying was being deceived by a scumbag, quickly spoke up, "Don’t get jealous, I mentioned Leng Jian because he told me that Zhang Lingying is very much like his sister... not the randomly-recognized kind, but his real sister!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyu’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he seriously looked down at her.

Ji Weitian couldn’t explain clearly for a moment, only able to roughly tell him what she knew.

"Leng Jian’s family was destroyed by an accident, his parents died in it, leaving only him and his sister. With no relatives domestically, they were temporarily adopted by a welfare institute, waiting for overseas relatives to claim them. But before those relatives could come, his sister had an accident."

Ji Weitian’s voice became somewhat hoarse as she spoke, "She accidentally drowned, and the rescue team searched for days, but her body was never found. Leng Jian always felt it was his failure to protect her that led to the tragedy. His sister is his heart’s knot and his untouchable sore spot."

In fact, Ji Weitian didn’t know much about Leng Jian’s sister.

Leng Jian rarely mentioned his family. Ji Weitian knew he couldn’t let go but dared not ask more.
