79 The Toll
Luo Ying shook her head and looked at Chen Jia’s sincere eyes.
“It’s okay. I understand where your worries came from.”
When Chang Yuan was young, he had been unruly, drug-addled, and promiscuous. If it wasn’t for Chen Jia, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get to where he was now.
Moreover, he had always portrayed himself as a model husband who loved his wife. Chen Jia’s world would probably collapse if he crossed that line.
Luo Ying looked at Su Ran again.
“Ms. Su, we’ve talked about this before. I gave you an answer and even offered to get you some help. I have to be honest, I saw this coming, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m still really disappointed with your actions.”
If Luo Ying had not made preparations in advance, she would have been ruined by now.
Since ancient times, people were quick to jump to conclusions as unsubstantiated rumors flew about.
If Luo Ying attempted to talk her way out of it and explain herself on social media, it would have been far too late.
Her sharp glate made Su Ran’s hair stand on end.
“I’m sorry. I got you into trouble without investigating it any further. I’m really sorry. I’ll make a public apology later.” Su Ran lowered her head.
Lin Jin turned her face to the side.
She was a pampered young lady of the Lin family. How could she apologize for such a small mistake?
“Ms. Lin, you’re the one who called Xia Lan here, right? There appears to be some misunderstanding between us. I suggest you clear it up now.” Luo Ying looked at Lin Jin.
Lin Su, who was standing at the side, was a little flustered. He just realized that they had forgotten to stop the broadcast and everything had gotten out.
He quickly stopped the live feed.
He had been fully aware of his sister’s intentions and actions tonight.
Luo Ying looked at Lin Su’s actions and smiled coldly.
As expected, Lin Su was still protecting his sister’s reputation.
“As a rich young lady, you’ve always wanted to break up other people’s marriages. Am I right?” Luo Ying looked at Lin Jin.
“Yes, what’s wrong? How can someone like you be worthy of him?”
Now that things had come to this, Lin Jin gave up trying to maintain her facade. “Aren’t you the same? You even threatened him by jumping off the building. What right do you have to earn his love?”
Luo Ying walked in front of Lin Jin and reached out to slap her on the face. “What you did today almost ruined my acting career. Whether I deserve his love or not is a matter between us. You have such a strong background, but you’re still busy thinking about being the third woman in a relationship. Isn’t that simply ridiculous?”
Lin Jin bit her lips tightly and did not say a word.
Lin Su stood in front of Lin Jin and lowered his head slightly. “Please don’t hurt my sister. I am the on in charge of the company and this banquet. This is all on me.”
Lin Su thought that he would make Luo Ying waver.
But Luo Ying’s eyes bore into him like cold steel.
Lin Su felt that his heart sinking. He was not used to this absence of shy anticipation.
No, this wasn’t his style. When did he start to care about this woman?
“Apologize, compensate for me in court, nothing less,” Luo Ying said slowly.
Lin Su’s legs had not recovered yet. He moved slightly and bowed to Luo Ying. “Please forgive my sister. I will definitely compensate you for your loss.”
When she looked at Lin Su, who was bowing and scraping for his family, Luo Ying felt her eyes moisten a little.
She recalled that before finding herself in this world, she had a few brothers like him. No matter what trouble she got into, they were willing to stand by her side.
“I’ll have my manager and attorney talk to you about this.” After saying this, Luo Ying turned around and left. Her eyes were beginning to sting.
Luo Ying walked to the rooftop outside, wanting to get some fresh air.
It was a little cold on the rooftop. Just as she crossed her arms and was about to find a place to sit down, a warm coat fell on her shoulders.
She turned around and was surprised to see him.
“Lu Zhao, why are you here?”
“I should have come sooner, but I was delayed by a meeting. I didn’t expect you to suffer.”
The moment she saw Lu Zhao, all of Luo Ying’s defenses fell apart. She wanted to hide in Lu Zhao’s arms and cry.
“Cry if you want to. It’s my fault. I didn’t get there in time.” Lu Zhao touched her hair lovingly, his heart and eyes full of love.
If not for the meeting, he would have rushed over to get rid of those people.
