At Xia Ruo's shout, Xia Linyu and Lu Zheng both stopped in their tracks.
"What?" Lu Zheng squinted at him.
Xia Ruo chuckled and said, "We know you're my sister's kept man, but I heard you have a girlfriend. If someone with a girlfriend is still having an affair with someone else, if word gets out, tsk... Mr. Lu, I hope you'll think twice."
Xia Ruo laughed twice before saying to Xu Yue, "Wife, let's go."
The onlookers nearby recognized Xia Linyu, Xia Ruo, and Xu Yue, but they knew nothing about Lu Zheng.
But looking at Lu Zheng's appearance, he is indeed very handsome.
Such men are indeed very good at winning women's hearts.
To be honest, it's hard to say if a woman would be willing to support him.
Furthermore, with such a handsome face and a super-rich woman by his side, even though there is absolutely nothing between Lu Zheng and Xia Linyu, and although many people may know this, they will definitely say this and that about Lu Zheng.
Jealousy breeds hatred.
No one had thought of this before, but now that someone has brought it up, the crowd has started whispering among themselves.
"Really? Is that true? You have a girlfriend and you're still messing around with other people?"
"Who knows? Tsk tsk! You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"Hilarious! I have to say, this guy is actually quite handsome, hmm, he really fits the 'pretty boy' vibe..."
These words were harsh, but even though Lu Zheng was very capable, he couldn't silence the public's opinions.
Xia Ruo's insidious move was truly malicious.
Xia Linyu's face was extremely ugly. How could her own younger brother be so ruthless yet so stupid?
Although Lu Zheng hadn't spoken yet, she couldn't stand it any longer, so she shouted at the whispering crowd, "Shut up! Mr. Lu and I are business partners, we're friends!"
Actually, she would be very willing to become Lu Zheng's girlfriend.
However, Lu Zheng had said that he only loved Ming Xiang, which was something that made Xia Linyu very uncomfortable.
Besides, nothing had ever happened between them.
Therefore, no one should use this to slander them.
It's really hard to accept that the person who slandered them was Xia Ruo's own brother.
Xia Linyu's angry shout silenced the previously noisy crowd.
Xia Linyu usually doesn't have a temper, but if she does, her aura is still very strong.
However, many people were not convinced.
It was as if something really had happened to them.
However, Lu Zheng's expression was very calm at this moment.
Since his phone call with Mingxiang last night, even if someone says something unpleasant to him today, it won't hurt him anymore.
He smiled slightly and said to Xia Linyu, "Miss Xia, don't be angry. Public opinion is the hardest thing to appease throughout the ages. Humans are the most jealous creatures. You are rich, and I am not bad-looking. What will these people think?"
“They will be jealous, so they will make wild accusations against us whenever someone tries to frame us.”
Lu Zheng's words directly exposed the true nature of the people around him.
Those being talked about looked at each other, their faces turning red with embarrassment.
Indeed, that's what they think.
It's just that they could talk about Lu Zheng when they were talking about him, but now that they've been exposed, they're very uncomfortable.
Lu Zheng said to Xia Linyu, "Let's go. After we see Ming Xiang, these rumors will naturally fall apart. I think someone in their group will definitely post rumors online that we're having an affair."
"We'll just have to file a lawsuit when the time comes."
Indeed, someone just tried to post these things online.
However, Lu Zheng deliberately said this to warn those with wicked intentions that they should behave themselves and not have such crooked thoughts, otherwise it would not end well for them.
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, those with wicked intentions felt a chill run down their spines, and their plans to post these things online were instantly choked back.
They are not afraid of being sued by ordinary people, but if the Xia Group sues them, then things will be very difficult.
An ordinary person could not possibly defeat such a group.
The crisis that Xia Ruo brought at the airport was nipped in the bud by Lu Zheng without anyone noticing.
But after boarding the private jet, Xia Linyu remained silent.
She seems to have a lot on her mind.
Lu Zheng glanced at her and said, "Miss Xia, what's wrong?"
When asked this, Xia Linyu sighed softly, "Since Xia Ruo is coming with us this time, there will inevitably be a fight between my brother and me. Father has been trying to prevent the same thing from happening again, but..."
Lu Zheng also sighed softly and said, "Yes, your brother is a problem."
“My father hoped that my siblings and I would not fight each other for power and money, but it was too difficult to avoid. However, nothing we did could change the outcome.”
This is the main reason for Xia Linyu's frustration.
Lu Zheng was silent for a moment before saying, "I have an idea."
His words startled Xia Linyu: "What?"
Lu Zheng said, "I might be able to help you change the outcome of this internal strife, where one person will inevitably suffer. Of course, internal strife is still inevitable, but the result will be better than it is now."
"What's the meaning?"
Xia Linyu really couldn't understand it.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "We are all in this together, whether we prosper or suffer! Let his interests be tied to yours and subject to your constraints. If something happens to you, he won't even have the most basic chance of survival. But if you maintain your current wealth, then he can also enjoy the good life."
"At that time, his attitude towards you will change completely, and you and your siblings will no longer have to suffer from this internal strife."
"yes!"
Xia Linyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped her thigh, saying, "I didn't expect that. It's indeed a good idea."
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Yes, but we need to plan the specifics ourselves. Let's not think about that for now and wait and see what Xia Ruo's next plan is before making a decision."
Xia Linyu sighed softly, "Mr. Lu, you are so smart. I'm really envious of Miss Mingxiang now. With a man like you by her side, she will be incredibly happy for the rest of her life."
Lu Zheng smiled lightly: "Wrong. She pulled me out of the mire, so I should be thanking her. Without Ming Xiang, there would be no Lu Zheng today. She saved me, Lu Zheng, so I should be thanking her."
With such love and affection between lovers, what could possibly separate them?
