Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

Chapter 716 - 14: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (14)

The sky happened to start raining, everyone hurriedly taking shelter, yet Zhaozhao stood in place, slowly raising her head.At this moment, she felt an intense loneliness.

It was as if she had been abandoned by the entire world.

Then, suddenly, an umbrella appeared above her head. She slowly turned around, and upon seeing who it was, her heart couldn’t help but race.

"Fu... Fu Lihan, why are you here?"

"I told you, no matter where you are, I can find you. Where else do you want to run to?"

Zhaozhao looked visibly anxious, seemingly stunned for a long time, then lifted her foot to leave, but was forcefully pulled into his embrace by Fu Lihan.

Following that, a domineering kiss fell upon her.

Zhaozhao struggled.

"No... don’t do this, Fu Lihan! You... um..."

Under the black umbrella, Zhaozhao weakly collapsed into the man’s arms, shedding tears.

"Why are you doing this? We can’t be like this..."

"Why not? Is there anything in this world that I, Fu Lihan, can’t do?"

Zhaozhao’s eyes were red.

"Lai said, our statuses are too different, she said we won’t have a future together. You’ll eventually meet someone truly suitable for you, and I’m just a toy for your momentary whims."

"That woman again! She talks nonsense, yet you actually believed her!"

"Lai wouldn’t lie to me, she’s my best friend, why would she deceive me?"

"Because she’s jealous of you! You’re so good, while she is just a pitiful creature secretly insecure in the shadows! From now on, you only need to listen to me, I promise, no one else will be able to hurt you anymore!

Zhaozhao, stop rejecting me."

In the rainy night, the two embraced and kissed deeply.

Sitting in a luxury car passing by, Jiang Lai lowered the window expressionlessly, took out her phone, and snapped a few photos from a good angle.

For those who didn’t know, they might have thought these two were filming a romance drama, and many people stood by in astonishment watching.

These two were immersed in each other, completely unaffected.

Impressive, their mindset truly befits leading roles.

"Bro, do you have the contact info of the Hualian Group CEO’s daughter?"

Lu Zhixing glanced at her and then didn’t hesitate to say.

"Yes, what’s up?"

"Do you have her email? Any?"

"Hmm, a private email, yes."

Lu Zhixing sent over the email, and Jiang Lai directly compressed and sent over the photos.

Arriving at the doorstep, Lu Zhixing dropped Jiang Lai off.

"Tomorrow, I’ll bring mom and dad over here to check out the house, do you mind?"

"Of course not, if you’d like, we could even have a meal together tomorrow."

"That would be perfect."

Lu Zhixing hadn’t expected Jiang Lai to be like this, confident and composed, not swayed by any emotional fluctuations despite changes in family conditions, but rather remaining steady throughout.

In this aspect, she indeed resembled the Lu family’s character.

The next morning, nearing the restaurant, Lu Zhixing made a call, telling her the restaurant was already arranged right next to the neighborhood, she could head straight over.

Jiang Lai had already informed Cai Xian beforehand.

"No need to be nervous, just treat them ordinarily."

Compared to Cai Xian, Jiang Lai’s calmness was intriguing.

Especially Cai Xian, having never seen her biological parents before, she expected Jiang Lai to be too excited to sleep, showing at least a bit of curiosity and anticipation.

Yet Jiang Lai was even more composed than she was.

"Don’t you want to see your biological parents?"

"I do, perhaps it’s just too overwhelming, and it has backfired."

"Don’t be so nervous... they are your biological parents after all."

As she said this, Cai Xian had already arrived at the front of the restaurant.

She had expected wealthy people to be extravagant and flashy, yet the Lu family had chosen the most inconspicuous small restaurant. Though it seemed unremarkable, stepping inside, it was clean and refined, with individual private rooms, looking very comfortable.

Upon entering, the Lu parents were already standing up waiting.

As the boss of a listed company, Mr. Lu, Lu Tingshen, was lean and upright. Despite his hair being grayed, he didn’t show a hint of agedness.

Mrs. Lu, Luo Susa, was wearing a long light pink cheongsam, adorned with a gentle and understated pearl necklace, her face well-maintained, resembling a sister in her early thirties.

At the first sight of Jiang Lai, Luo Susa couldn’t help but cover her face and cry.

"Child... my Lai Lai, my Lai Lai..."

As it turns out, Jiang Lai’s original name’s second character was also Lai, Lu Lai.

After Cai Xian found her, she also named her with the character "Lai."

This coincidence led the Lu parents to believe it was destined fate.

Cai Xian let Jiang Lai sit over, her eyes reddened watching their family reuniting.

Lu Tingshen was more steady and calm, yet his eyes were slightly reddened as well.

He soothed his wife, then expressed gratitude to Cai Xian.

"No need to thank me, having such a wonderful daughter as Lai Lai is my blessing."

Luo Susa nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, you are also Lai Lai’s mother; since ancient times, the nurturing grace is not lighter than the birthing grace, so from now on, we both will be Lai Lai’s mothers, and we will be sisters.

We’ve set the house next to yours, so we’ll be a family."

This way, Jiang Lai wouldn’t be placed in a difficult position.

Cai Xian understood that this family was considerate, having arranged everything for her emotions in thoughtfulness.

On realizing that Jiang Lai’s biological parents were such good people, Cai Xian felt at ease.

As long as they treated Jiang Lai well, nothing else mattered.

This meal was harmonious.

During a detailed conversation, Luo Susa discovered that she and Cai Xian were graduates of the same university, only from different departments, but their buildings were quite close.

"After graduating from university, I returned home and got married; it’s normal you don’t remember me, but I remember you."

Initially feeling familiar, later Cai Xian figured it out.

This woman was precisely a prominent figure in university, excelling in academics and looking beautiful. After graduation, she went abroad for further studies at a prestigious university, and even after more than twenty years, Cai Xian still remembers clearly.

"You had excellent grades back then too. I recently took out the photos of our outstanding alumni for another look; meeting you today made me realize you’re one of those outstanding alumni."

Reflecting on the past, Cai Xian couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

She had excellent grades back then, earning the opportunity for sponsored overseas studies.

Unfortunately, her parents threatened with death, simply because they were swayed by the words from people back home, saying that girls going abroad was equivalent to leaving home forever, never returning.

Thus, she gave up the opportunity for overseas studies, reluctantly returning home, accepting arranged marriage and childbearing.

Regrets from the past were left unsaid, precisely because of being alumni, Cai Xian and Luo Susa had more common language.

They got along very well; the meal ended with plans for the next one.

"Lai Lai is preparing for postgraduate exams recently, isn’t she? If there’s any issue, she can ask your brother; his grades are excellent; he might be able to help you."

Lu Zhixing completed his undergraduate and master’s at Qing University domestically, later going abroad for a doctoral degree; he obtained his Ph.D. at a young age, then returned to manage the company.
