Chapter 724 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (2)
Lu Ting was extremely excited to have the original owner of the body back.
He was anxious and insecure, wishing he could be the perfect boyfriend in every way.
The original owner also enjoyed his unreserved love for her.
Six months later, the two had another argument.
The reason for the argument was still Jiang Wanqing.
The cause was that Lu Ting had been working overtime for two consecutive days.
Lu Ting did not work for a company under the Lu family, but instead started his own business with his classmates, becoming a rising star in the technology field.
In just a few years, he has also ventured into other industries and owns numerous businesses.
Naturally, he became exceptionally busy.
When he first started his business, Lu Ting worked day and night, and he couldn't even eat on time.
The original owner felt sorry for him and often had the chef prepare nourishing soups to be delivered to Lu Ting's company on a regular basis.
Occasionally, she would personally take him to eat with Lu Ting.
Thinking about how he had been working overtime for the past two days, and recalling the hardships he had faced when he first started his business, the original owner took the food prepared by the chef and went to Lu Ting's company.
As a result, he saw Jiang Wanqing having dinner with him in the office.
Enraged, she threw the lunchbox in her hand at the two of them.
Lu Ting's expression changed, and he quickly stopped her, explaining that the two of them were just working together and that it happened to be dinner time, so the secretary had ordered dinner for the two of them.
Eating together is just for the convenience of work, so we can discuss things at any time.
But the original owner could not accept such an explanation.
She questioned Lu Ting:
"Didn't you say you transferred her? You've been lying to me all along?"
“No, it was an accident. The branch office happened to have a project that overlapped with the head office, and she, as the person in charge, came here to discuss it together.”
"So, you've been working overtime with Jiang Wanqing these past two days? You deliberately hid it from me?!"
Lu Ting deliberately concealed this matter.
He knew that the original owner would be angry and stop him if he found out, so he didn't say anything more.
"Manager Jiang will leave after completing this project. I don't think it's necessary to go to the trouble of telling you, as if we have something going on."
Lu Ting patiently explained, but he was still unable to extinguish the anger in the original owner's heart.
Seeing the two arguing fiercely, Jiang Wanqing took the initiative to speak:
"Senior, you've really misunderstood me. I just don't want to give up this opportunity. I have no other feelings for your husband. If you really mind, I'll apply to withdraw from this program right now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting instantly lost his temper and said to Mu Zhou in a serious tone:
"Manager Jiang is hardworking and dedicated, and she was promoted to manager in just a few months. Am I supposed to kick her out of the project team just because of your prejudice against her and your distrust of me? I'm sorry, I can't do that."
The original owner was consumed by rage and bit her lower lip so hard she couldn't speak.
After a long pause, he finally said:
"Fine, fine, so I've become the bad guy who bullied others, right? Lu Ting, don't forget the promise you made to me back then!"
He said he would never let her suffer.
He said he would definitely keep his distance from other girls and would not do anything to cause her misunderstanding again.
He said he would never see Jiang Wanqing again.
In just six months, he forgot everything.
Lu Ting had obviously also thought of the promise he made when he tried to win back the original owner of the body.
His face froze.
The original owner stopped arguing with him and turned to leave.
Lu Ting instinctively wanted to chase after her, but Jiang Wanqing stopped him:
“Brother-in-law, I know my senior’s temper. If you chase after her now, it will only make the argument worse and make things more difficult to handle.”
She remained rational and analyzed the situation for Lu Ting:
"Let your senior calm down. She's smart and reasonable. She just lost her temper in a moment of anger. You should all calm down and talk to each other after you've calmed down. It'll be better for all of you. I'll also talk to her privately to explain."
“Besides…” Jiang Wanqing glanced at the documents stained with food and soup, sighed, and said helplessly, “This project is very important. It’s related to the branch’s layout next year. Why don’t we finish the work first? That way, my brother-in-law can go and comfort my senior in peace.”
Looking at the messy table and floor, Lu Ting felt somewhat helpless about the original owner's immaturity.
He ultimately listened to Jiang Wanqing's advice.
On the other hand, the original owner was disheartened to find that Lu Ting hadn't even chased after her after she ran away.
In the past, whenever the two of them argued, if she wanted to leave, Lu Ting would hold her and not let her go.
Although he wasn't good at saying sweet and cheesy love words, he held her tightly and wouldn't let go, even when she cried and bit him.
Then, she will gradually soften and stop being angry.
But this time, he didn't chase after them.
Was it because of Jiang Wanqing?
Or have they simply grown completely fed up with her?
The original owner didn't know either.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to continue like this.
She began to understand that Jiang Wanqing seemed to have become an insurmountable obstacle between them.
Lu Ting greatly admires Jiang Wanqing.
The original owner suddenly felt that he was a bit silly.
Back then, she took the initiative to mention Jiang Wanqing in front of Lu Ting, saying that she studied hard and diligently, and was neither inferior nor arrogant because of her family background, and always strived for what she wanted.
At that time, Lu Ting dismissed it with disdain, saying only, "Don't always pay attention to those people. They are all using you and want something from you."
The original owner of this body naturally objected, saying that Jiang Wanqing was different.
As a result, Jiang Wanqing went to Lu Ting's company without saying a word. The original owner kindly asked Lu Ting to help take care of her, and as they took care of each other, the boundaries became blurred.
When did the original owner realize that something was wrong?
This is roughly when Lu Ting started mentioning Jiang Wanqing frequently.
He said he did have a misunderstanding about Jiang Wanqing; she was a very hardworking and diligent person.
Moreover, he admires ambitious people who work hard to achieve their goals.
Gradually, the original owner realized this, so they started arguing.
In the end, it turned out like this.
The original owner suddenly felt very tired.
Her family criticized her after they found out about her whirlwind marriage and divorce with Lu Chen, and her relationship with Lu Ting, but they couldn't bring themselves to scold her too harshly.
I just hope she and Lu Ting can be together.
But now, she may have to disappoint her parents again.
She didn't want to continue with Lu Ting, nor did she want to keep arguing with him endlessly because of Jiang Wanqing.
Heartbroken, the original owner sent Lu Ting a breakup message and then flew to the Arctic to clear her head.
Who knew that as soon as she landed in Country D, she would encounter a local armed rebellion, and she and several other tourists would die at the hands of the rebels.
Love and hate were both annihilated in an instant.
When the news arrived, Lu Ting was filled with remorse and became increasingly confused and lost his way in the days that followed, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Jiang Wanqing found him when he was down and comforted him, finally expressing the love she had never said before.
"Lu Ting, I've always liked you, but before, there was my senior classmate."
"I know I'm not good enough for you, and I can't interfere in your relationship with your senior. So I've just been watching you silently. Now that your senior has been gone for many years, it's time for us to move on. Let me love you in your place, okay? If she's watching from heaven, she would want us to be happy."
Lu Ting learned of Jiang Wanqing's feelings for the first time, but he was burdened by the original owner's life and could not agree to her request.
In the end, Jiang Wanqing married someone else.
The Mu family and the Lu family have become sworn enemies.
