Near Bai Lu's room, Tang Jingyuan bumped into Luo Peng who was rushing over at the corner. As far as he could see, Bai Lu was chasing after him with red eyes.
The moment she saw Luo Peng, the determination in Bai Lu's eyes instantly disappeared.
Why is he here?
Luo Peng looked at Tang Jingyuan warily, but in just a moment, he was shocked by Tang Jingyuan's powerful aura and was defeated.
The man's intuition told him that something must have happened that he didn't know about. But the man in front of him was too powerful. The glance just now had almost suffocated him, and the questions that were on the tip of his tongue had to be swallowed back by him.
He lowered his head, brushed past Tang Jingyuan, and quickly came to Bai Lu. Seeing that her eyes were still red, he became even more certain that his beloved girl had been wronged.
"Lulu, are you okay?" He looked at her with concern, trying to find any injuries on her body.
If Tang Jingyuan dared to hurt Bai Lu, he would do whatever it takes to seek justice for Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was about to speak when Lu An Ning suddenly came around the corner.
She smiled faintly: "Jingyuan, you are here. I have been looking for you everywhere!"
She gently held Tang Jingyuan's hand, their eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly.
Lu Anning raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Bai Lu, slightly startled: "Miss Bai, what happened? It seems like you have suffered a great injustice. Has someone bullied you?"
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.
"No. I was just in a bad mood and drank a little. I thought about my brother, and as a result, I felt even sadder."
Lu Anning calmly consoled him, "Let the past be the past! We should always look forward. Your brother in heaven would also wish you a better life, rather than living under his shadow every day, unable to get out of it for the rest of your life."
Bai Lu nodded unwillingly, looking straight at Tang Jingyuan, but did not dare to say anything more.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Anning pulled Tang Jingyuan's hand and said, "The card game is over. Shall we go back to the room?"
"Walk!"
Tang Jingyuan took Lu Anning's hand and strode away without even glancing at Bai Lu. Only after they disappeared around the corner did Bai Lu reluctantly look away. She looked up and saw Luo Peng beside her, and a flash of disgust flashed through her heart.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard you were drunk, and I was worried that you, a girl, might be unsafe, so I came to check on you. Why are you drinking?"
Bai Lu guessed what was going on and withdrew her hand with a cold face.
"This little bit of alcohol is nothing to me. I'm fine. You can go back!"
Luo Peng noticed Bai Lu's coldness towards him and became even more worried.
"Are you in a bad mood? Did Tang bully you just now? These rich people are the best at bullying others. Lulu, if you have been wronged, don't keep it in your heart. Tell me, and I will definitely help you get justice."
Bai Lu couldn't stand Luo Peng's assertion, so she stopped and looked at him with some sarcasm in her eyes.
"How can you get it back? Who are you? You have no power or influence. How can you fight them? In their eyes, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant. Have you forgotten that you almost couldn't even find an internship?"
Luo Peng was suddenly speechless. Bai Lu felt bored for a moment and dragged her tired body towards the room. Luo Peng followed her.
"I don't believe they can cover up everything. There will always be a way. I have a lot of fans, and they will support everything I write."
"What's the point? They can easily suppress you and send you to jail, and your life will be ruined. Luo Peng, don't you understand by now? Your lofty rhetoric is no longer effective."
Luo Peng was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Lu to say that to him.
"A person should have integrity. I don't think I've done anything wrong. Knowing that others are wrong, do I have to go along with them? The Bai Lu I know is not like that!"
"Since you're so aloof, why did you follow me to the manor? Don't you hate the rich? Without rich people like them, how could you enjoy everything here? Luo Peng, admit it! We can't fight reality. Only by becoming rich and standing at the pinnacle of power can you be qualified to change the rules. Otherwise, you can only adapt to it."
The fastest way to change your destiny is to find a strong enough backer.
Tang Jingyuan is the most powerful person among all the people she knows.
She almost succeeded.
On the way back, Tang Jingyuan remained silent until he entered the room. He did not speak either, as if he was considering something.
"What did Bai Lu tell you?"
Tang Jingyuan sighed helplessly: "I thought things were too naive before. I always thought that Bai Lu only regarded me as a brother. I didn't expect..."
Lu Anning smiled and said, "It's not too late to understand now. So what are you going to do?"
We can't ignore it, but keeping it around is always a hidden danger.
"After I get back, I'll ask Lin Tao to help her find a suitable position in the subsidiary. She doesn't have to see me every day. Over time, she'll slowly forget about me. Luo Peng, was it you who called me here?"
When Bai Lu chased out, Tang Jingyuan was a little surprised, but Luo Peng happened to appear, so she stopped. Otherwise, Bai Lu would have made a scene.
“I guess so!”
Lu Anning guessed that Luo Peng might have feelings for Bai Lu. Instead of confronting Bai Lu head-on, it would be better for her to let Luo Peng go.
She specifically found a waiter and asked her to tell Luo Peng that Bai Lu was drunk. He would be worried and would naturally come to find her. Bai Lu also had to maintain her persona in front of Luo Peng, so she naturally wouldn't do anything rash.
As it turned out, she was not wrong.
"It seems I can't leave you alone to play next time. It's too unsafe!"
Tang Jingyuan jokingly said, "It's good that you know. From now on, you have to keep a close eye on me."
