Chapter 12: Rhetorical Question

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The pimples were finally cleaned up. When she heard Tian Tian's next words, she sneered silently at the mirror. “Hurry up and get a divorce, so you can have some space, alright?”

“I wish for that too,” she said. “But look at Lu Zhao. It's true that he's a little temperamental, he's quite the man of his word. Since he has already given me his word, we can rest assure that he'll keep them.”

Outside the door, Lu Zhao's cheeks stiffened up, trapped between an unsure smile and a grimace. It was rare to hear Luo Ying praise him. If this topic did not involve their divorce, he might have been a little happier.

“You know all too well how badly I want to enter the entertainment industry. If I leave Lu Zhao, living without money or power will take some getting used to. I also wouldn't know when I'll be able to make a name for myself. If I don't make a safety net for myself now, how am I going to live my life in the future?”

Tian Tian didn't expect Luo Ying to say something like that. Wasn't love more important than anything else in her life? Her heart was only set on brother Lin Su. She never worldly possessions like money a second thought.

Tian Tian could not understand why Luo Ying seemed to have changed into a completely different person in just a few days. Yesterday, she had been uncharacteristically harsh to Lin Su and even dragged her down with her. Today, she was planning to take a cut of Lu Zhao's flesh. She had clearly wanted to stay as far away from Lu Zhao as possible and draw a clear line with him. She seemed to repulse every aspect of his existence.

Tian Tian didn't know why this change had occurred. She was afraid that Luo Ying and Lu Zhao would get more entwined with each other, and the longer they dragged on, the more variables would appear in their divorce. So, she continued to defame Lu Zhao as she usually did, hoping to scare Luo Ying. “Have you forgotten what I told you?”

“Lu Zhao is a demon trapped in human flesh. The reason the Luya Group grew so rapidly over the past few years is because Lu Zhao took the helm. That man who would do anything to achieve his goals. He won't stop, even if they are far from legal. His methods are also particularly cruel. Those who have stood in his way or offended him have all been dealt with particularly miserably by him. You cuckolded him, but instead of hiding far away, you're trying to approach him and demand for a cut of his assets. Are you tired of living?”

Outside the door, Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows. He was indeed swift and decisive in his actions, but he was still far from the level of a demon, right? Lu Zhao's heart felt a pang of bitterness. Luo Ying had been so cantankerous to him all this time. Was it because she believed the slander her best friends had against him?

Lu Zhao, who didn't realize that he had not been far off the mark, felt a heart of lead weighing down his chest. For a moment, he didn't know if he should explain himself to Luo Ying, but then he heard her say, “I don't know what Lu Zhao is like out there, but he's been quite tolerant of me.”

If Lu Zhao was really as ruthless as Tian Tian said, he would not have put up with the antics of the original Luo Ying. If he had caught her confessing to another man and forcing him to divorce her by jumping off a building, he would've crushed her into pieces a long time ago. Why would he give in to her and even draft such a generous divorce agreement?

When she remembered how Lu Zhao carried her all the way home, carefully treated her wounds, and even asked Zhang to prepare noodles for her, Luo Ying's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help but defend Lu Zhao.

Tian Tian's heart skipped a beat when she heard Luo Ying's words. Didn't Luo Ying hate Lu Zhao to death before? Why would she suddenly turn around and speak for him? She said anxiously, “That's because you were still married to him, so he put up with you. But now that he has agreed to divorce you and draw the line, there is nothing between the two of you anymore. If you continue to anger him, who knows what that demon would do?”

After hearing what she said, Lu Zhao was now completely certain that there was something acutely wrong with Tian Tian. He just didn't know what Luo Ying was thinking, and whether she would continue to listen to her.

At this thought, Lu Zhao took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant, asking him to check on this woman, Tian Tian.

“Ohh…” Luo Ying deliberately dragged out that utterance. While Tian Tian was burning with anxiety, she suddenly threw a random question. “If Lu Zhao is such a dangerous person, why did you encourage me to divorce him and push me to Lin Su's side? Aren't you afraid that I'll anger him, and he'll come after me?”
