"No, I was following you?"

Lu Zheng looked at Jiang Li'er in surprise and said, "Aren't you overthinking it? Why would I follow you?"

At this moment, many people turned their heads when they heard the noise.

Someone recognized Lu Zheng and Jiang Li'er.

"Hey? Isn't that Lu Zheng?"

"What do you mean, Lu Zheng? You should call me Mr. Lu. You're so stupid! No wonder you've been a nobody all these years. Don't you even understand that?"

"Oh right, you're so smart, so capable, everyone else is an idiot, a pig, okay?"

"This is Jiang Li'er..."

"Tsk... Why isn't Zhou Mobei, who's always with Jiang Lier, here? Aren't they supposed to be inseparable? Those two should be together!"

The story of Lu Zheng, Ming Xiang, Zhou Mobei, and Jiang Lier has now become the most talked-about topic in the city.

After all, life in a city, especially in the relatively peaceful ancient country, is very monotonous and boring, with very few new things happening.

The conflict between Lu Zheng and Jiang Li'er has even made it onto television.

Moreover, as Lu Zheng was a key target for replication in the city, it was natural to create momentum for him, and their past events naturally became a topic that everyone particularly liked to discuss.

After Jiang Li'er's actions were exposed, the people spontaneously lost any goodwill towards her.

When she shouted like that again, no one had noticed her before, but now everyone was looking at her.

Being stared at by so many eyes, coupled with the comments from those around her, made Jiang Li'er inexplicably uncomfortable.

Given her personality, it's quite obvious that she's about to explode after saying that.

But then someone said, "Who's that beautiful woman next to Lu Zheng? She's so pretty! My god, Lu Zheng is so lucky with women."

"Huh, this girl... um... I've never seen her before."

"Didn't Mr. Lu and Miss Mingxiang have a very good relationship? Did they break up?"

The people around him kept whispering among themselves.

This gave Jiang Li'er, who was already annoyed, a perfect opportunity to criticize Lu Zheng.

She sneered, crossed her arms, and said, "You all think it's my fault, Jiang Li'er, as if I did something to Lu Zheng. But have you ever considered that you might have been deceived by the media?"

"You probably don't know why Lu Zheng has achieved what he has today, but I can tell you why. The reason he got to where he is today is entirely because of women."

"He used to be in my Jiang family, then he relied on Ming Xiang, haha, and now he's with some beautiful woman. But beautiful woman, listen to me, this Lu Zheng is not a good person, don't be fooled by him."

She's been holding in a lot of anger lately, but she can't find an outlet for it.

She had to make good use of what happened today; it would be best if she could turn Lu Zheng into a rat that everyone wanted to beat.

But the way she acted crazy was actually kind of funny.

Lu Zheng glanced at the crazy woman and said sarcastically, "Is that so? Tsk! Jiang Li'er, you really know how to put labels on people."

"How did your Jiang family develop? I was the one who developed the new energy battery. It's all about technology. You gave all the technical expertise to Zhou Mobei. Without me, the Jiang family would be nothing more than a small company with an annual income of around 220,000."

To be honest, one of the best things Jiang Li'er did as a mother was to be with Lu Zheng.

Otherwise, where would she get her company now?

Seeing Jiang Li'er pause for a moment, Lu Zheng continued, "But you're a disgusting woman. You gave the credit that was clearly mine to Zhou Mobei."

"Of course, it's fine if he has the ability. Since he took over, your Jiang Group has basically had no innovation, and the research department has been in a mess."

"What makes you think you can compare to Ming Xiang?"

"Besides, you're despicable yourself, so don't compare yourself to others. Miss Xia and I are business partners, and my wife agreed to our coming here. I'm showing Miss Xia around, so can you please stop making baseless accusations against others?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Jiang Li'er's heart clenched.

Despicable?

How dare that bastard Lu Zheng call her vulgar?

Damn!

Jiang Lier has always been the one humiliating others; when did it become her turn to be humiliated?

However, there were many onlookers around, and Jiang Li'er knew that if she acted like a crazy woman, she would probably attract a lot of ridicule and murmurs.

She couldn't do this, even if it meant pretending nothing was wrong; she had to keep up the act.

As for Lu Zheng, she had to humiliate him.

As long as you don't yell and scream like a shrew, it's fine.

Thinking about all this, she immediately laughed, but it was a sinister laugh.

"Hehe, oh my, Lu Zheng, I never realized you were such a mean person. Tsk tsk, you did something, but you don't dare to admit it? Beautiful lady, don't be fooled by him, Lu Zheng is a complete scoundrel."

In Xia Linyu's heart, Lu Zheng was a strong man.

Moreover, Lu Zheng was very polite, and even went so far as to confront her father to protect Ming Xiang.

Can such a man be someone who rises to power by relying on women?

On the contrary, Xia Linyu believes that whoever is with Lu Zheng will enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

Her idea was exactly the same as Mingxiang's.

Only a crazy woman like Jiang Lier would say such things about Lu Zheng.

Anyone with common sense knows that a man like Lu Zheng is a true master. What's wrong with Jiang Li'er's head? Is it filled with mush or something? How could she think of such things? Utterly foolish.

If it were anyone else, wouldn't they be overjoyed to be with Lu Zheng?

"Heh..." Xia Linyu couldn't help but chuckle mockingly as she listened to Jiang Lier's sarcastic remarks about Lu Zheng.

Jiang Li'er was taken aback by his smile: "Miss Xia, I'm telling the truth. I've known him for so long. Don't be fooled by his refined appearance. He's a real scoundrel."

At this moment, Jiang Li'er put on a kind and amiable appearance.

She seemed so kind, with an air of earnest concern.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Linyu said coldly, "Just like Mr. Lu said, he and I are just business partners. Moreover, it was Miss Mingxiang who asked Mr. Lu to come with me. In fact, Mr. Lu did not want to come with me because he did not want to give Miss Mingxiang any bad impression. I had to shamelessly ask him to come out."

When Xia Linyu said that, everyone present widened their eyes.

What???

They...did they hear me right?

This woman actually said that she shamelessly asked Lu Zheng to come along. How influential must Lu Zheng be?
