Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 588 - 12: Cinderella and the CEO (Part 12)

When the wealthy businessman returned home, he found that apart from some unsold fixed assets, he had nothing left.

Now he had contracted the disease. Yes, the businessman was also diagnosed, already infected, and thinking about it, this seemed somewhat good.

The only thing the businessman was grateful for was that he and the middle-aged woman disliked each other. Ever since Lin Xiaorou came into the picture, he and his wife had never lived together again.

At least he still had some fixed assets; he sold off all his properties and gave the majority of the money to his wife. Then he took the remaining money, ate and drank well every day, waiting for the day the illness worsened.

Speaking of which, the businessman also had children; once he came into wealth, he became somewhat arrogant, looked down on his first wife, and fooled around outside. Isn’t this karma now?

Lin Xiaorou’s malicious actions were so troublesome that even the police found it difficult to handle.

First, she contracted a dirty disease, and then she intended to infect others.

Blood components were detected in that pot of water. Fortunately, Li Shuning hadn’t touched it upon arrival.

At the time, Lin Xiaorou was provoked by Li Shuning’s attire and directly attacked, so the pot of tea could still be used as evidence.

Releasing someone like that would be dangerous, as you never know if she would intentionally harm someone the next moment.

Lin Xiaorou was sent to the hospital and was forcefully detained there.

Even Zhu Lun was a little afraid of Lin Xiaorou’s situation. He wasn’t sure when exactly she contracted the disease. What if he had also caught it; wouldn’t that be disastrous?

He secretly went to the hospital to get tested.

But nonetheless, someone leaked it.

In no time, the Zhu Family became the laughingstock of the social circle.

Once, Li Shuning, the beautiful goddess, was rejected by Zhu Lun in favor of a "Cinderella." It turned out "Cinderella" was too promiscuous and was infected. If Zhu Lun had contracted the disease, that would be quite amusing.

In fact, after testing, Zhu Lun found that he was healthy, and he was relieved.

However, this incident still brought disgrace to the Zhu Family. For a while afterward, Zhu Lun remained low-key.

The company’s affairs were once again handled by Zhu Lun’s father.

But during this time, problems arose with Bumei Bank.

Bumei Bank was the foundation of the Bumei Consortium; issues at the bank were a serious matter.

Despite the Zhu Family’s efforts, they couldn’t alter the fate of Bumei Bank being renamed.

Behind the scenes, it was Li Shuning who acted, but ultimately the beneficiary wasn’t publicly known as someone from the Li Family, so Zhu Lun and the others had no idea the bank was taken over by the Li Family.

The Bumei Consortium, once among the top, now suffered great losses.

When it came to relationships with the Zhu Family, other families were only aligned based on interests.

Once the interest was gone, the so-called good relationships naturally no longer existed.

Originally, the relationship between the Li and Zhu Families wasn’t so shallow.

Unfortunately, this bond was destroyed by Zhu Lun himself.

When the Bumei Consortium had issues, several other consortia acted together, and soon the Zhu Family was thrown into chaos.

The once noble young master suddenly became bankrupt, left with nothing?

Li Shuning had no idea how Zhu Lun felt, but at this moment, she was very happy.

Because she found Yun Zimo.

The Yun Family was even more prestigious than the Li Family. Previously, they hadn’t interacted, but after Li Shuning stirred some commotion, she caught Yun Zimo’s attention. Upon discovering his wife, he naturally came looking for her.

After sharing their respective situations, Yun Zimo realized that Li Shuning’s mission was nearly complete.

In that case, he could lend a hand.

In the narrative, Zhu Lun couldn’t care less about the original character, even being indifferent to her.

Even when Li Shuning arrived, he and Lin Xiaorou were truly in love.

Since he had discarded her like worn-out shoes, seeing his former fiancée marry someone else, especially someone better, and living a happy life while he was destitute, seemed the most fulfilling revenge.

Additionally, Yun Zimo’s tasks were almost complete; getting married wouldn’t significantly affect him.

Afterward, news kept circulating about the upcoming wedding between the Yun Family’s heir and the Li Family’s daughter.

Zhu Lun watched the large advertisement screen across the street displaying the woman with a charming smile, so beautiful, and the handsome man, making the perfect pair.

Yet, inside, he was very unsatisfied.

Once, that woman was his. But seeing the Zhu Family fall, she threw herself into someone else’s arms, which was merely for benefits.

It’s undeniable that Zhu Lun was quite self-righteous.

He believed in his own abilities; even though the Zhu Family fell, his personal abilities were still strong, and a resurgence was just a matter of time.

He even went to other consortia, recommending himself.

He wanted a job, even marketing himself as a potential son-in-law.

Unfortunately, Zhu Lun’s reputation was shattered; the leaders of other consortia weren’t idiots and wouldn’t agree.

Zhu Lun persistently bothered them, resulting in multiple lessons.

However, they didn’t want to destroy him completely, so they held back. After all, the Zhu Family still had some strong connections, not acting due to interests now, but if pushed too far, it wouldn’t end well for them either.

Zhu Lun even approached the Li Family, expressing willingness to join them and claiming it was a waste for someone of Li Shuning’s abilities to marry someone else.

Unfortunately, the affection between Yun Zimo and Li Shuning silenced him instantly.

He used to think he found true love, but later realized Lin Xiaorou had motives for being with him too.

Yet, the warmth seen in the couple’s eyes, seemed something he never had.

Falling from grace, struggling desperately, yet with no hope, Li Shuning released Lin Xiaorou, letting her and Zhu Lun be together once more.

In a small room, some drugs incited madness.

When they regained their senses, Zhu Lun was already broken.

He previously tested negative, but now, staying overnight with a woman whose skin started to rot, he knew he was doomed.

That disease spread easily, especially after a night of frenzy.

The despair upon knowing oneself edging death made Zhu Lun utterly miserable.

He didn’t kill Lin Xiaorou, instead, he beat her daily.

Lin Xiaorou also laughed heartily, knowing misery a lone was unacceptable, yet now wasn’t it wonderful?

Everyone heads to hell together.

Before Zhu Lun and Lin Xiaorou succumbed to the disease, Yun Zimo and Li Shuning arrived together.

Seeing them, then looking at themselves, with grotesque faces and large areas of rotting skin, emitting a foul stench.

While Yun Zimo and Li Shuning appeared so pristine as if untouched by dust.

Zhu Lun and Lin Xiaorou both died in agony.

Once the task was done, aside from their daily affection, Li Shuning and Yun Zimo focused on cultivation; the pressure was significant on them.

Meeting so coincidentally this time made their hearts even heavier.
