The original owner was not short of money.
It's not that she was extremely wealthy, but at least she wasn't starving.
What she lacks is fame.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, Tong Su knows the rules well. Sometimes, a seemingly unintentional exposure is actually a carefully designed scheme by the protagonist.
To escape the stigma of being a mistress in the future, to extricate oneself from the current scandals and filth, and to climb to the top, fame is indispensable.
The original owner was stuck in a quagmire that was difficult to escape for the time being, so the route she planned for herself was to deceive everyone and secretly carry out her plan.
It doesn't matter if her main account is ruined; she'll carefully cultivate a secondary account first. When the time is right, she'll expose it unintentionally, clearing away all the dirt left by the original owner.
Ideally, one should find someone with sufficient status and fame to endorse them.
She thought this was the hardest step, but to her surprise, someone delivered themselves to her doorstep.
"Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?"
The girl, struggling to carry her suitcase, was clearly taken aback for a moment.
It was getting late, and the sky was overcast with a cold wind blowing, as if it would rain soon.
Everyone else was going home, but she walked alone on the way out, a forced smile on her face.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she wiped the corner of her eye somewhat awkwardly, erasing a barely visible amount of moisture.
That glint of water pierced Lu Zhiyang's heart, igniting a surge of anger.
Who is Cen Su to deserve such humiliation?
What started as a three-tenths interest suddenly turned into seven-tenths heartache.
"I just happened to be passing by. Are you heading out? How are you going to carry all this stuff? Here, let me give you a ride. Where are you going?"
Lu Zhiyang remained expressionless, his smile gentle, but his hand, hidden by the car door, was quietly tossing away an earphone.
—The earpiece of the eavesdropping device.
The listening device he had secretly hidden in the sofa cushions.
Seeing the surprise in the girl's eyes and her hesitation to refuse, Lu Zhiyang casually said, "By the way, I heard it's not very safe around here lately. There are several robbers on the move. You're a young girl, so you have to be careful."
"Ah, I'll be careful..."
"How about this, where are you going? I'll take you. We're related, you even call me your distant cousin. If my mom finds out I don't take care of my own sister, she'll probably be angry with me."
The "relatives" he was referring to were naturally from the Shao family.
Strictly speaking, this is somewhat sophistry, but given his sincere attitude, it would seem rather inappropriate and pretentious for her to refuse again.
The girl got into the car with a wry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'll stop at the hotel."
"Why are you going to stay in a hotel? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
"Hmm... there is some contradiction."
The girl lowered her eyes, clearly not wanting to talk more. He smiled and considerately refrained from asking about her privacy.
They chatted idly on the way, and when they saw a house ahead, the man turned the steering wheel and drove away.
"The hotels around here aren't very safe. Let me pick out a better place for you."
The man explained earnestly, driving around in circles. The sky grew increasingly dark, and before long, it started to rain.
The rain was getting heavier, and the cars on the road were backed up in long lines. He turned around in annoyance and spoke innocently.
"It's already so dark, and we don't know how long we'll be on the road. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a hotel tonight. Luckily, I have a small, vacant apartment nearby. If you don't mind, shall we go there first?"
