How should she get ready?
Get ready for what?
Ready to get close to him?
No, she could not do it.
Tong Yi got a little upset. Why did she say she wasn't ready? Why did she have to dig her own grave?
"Sister Yi?"
Tong Yi returned to her senses and turned to look at Ling Rui. "What?"
Ling Rui looked at Tong Yi with an expression that said, 'You're fearless.' He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Sister Yi, you've really redefined my understanding of the word 'scum'. On one hand, you're getting engaged to Lu Moxi, and on the other hand, you're getting intimate with Lu Moxi's older brother."
As he spoke, he cupped his fists and made a gesture of admiration toward Tong Yi. "I am truly full of admiration. Looks like I still have many things to learn from Sister Yi."
Tong Yi's heart was in a mess, yet here was this guy, laughing and fooling around. She shot him a cold glance. "Do you think you're funny?"
Ling Rui shrugged. "No."
Previously, he thought that Tong Yi had come to the police station to save Lu Zhanbei only out of impulse. Now, it seemed that she hadn't. Ling Rui's expression became serious. "Honestly, Sister Yi, I advise you not to provoke Lu Zhanbei."
Hearing that, Tong Yi was speechless. She did not want to provoke him either but ever since she entered this game world, she had not been given any other choice.
"Although Lu Zhanbei is the eldest son of the Lu family, he has long left the Lu family and established his own family. He is ruthless, cold-blooded, and doesn't care about his family. Do you know how his father Lu Mingli's legs were paralyzed?"
Tong Yi wasn't interested in Lu Zhanbei's father. She asked casually, "How did his legs become paralyzed?"
Ling Rui looked around nervously and leaned closer to Tong Yi. He lowered his voice and said, "Lu Zhanbei broke them."
Tong Yi's beautiful eyes widened.
Ling Rui was very satisfied with Tong Yi's reaction. He had found out about it when he was eavesdropping on his father's conversation in the study. Back then, he was so scared that his legs felt like they had turned into jelly.
To prevent Tong Yi from falling into a trap, Ling Rui continued, "Not only is Lu Zhanbei closely connected to the triads, but I also heard that he has raped and pillaged, killed and committed all kinds of crimes. The people in the underworld are also fearful of him."
Tong Yi tilted her head and looked at Ling Rui. "Are you sure you're talking about a human? I think it sounds more like a demon."
"…" Ling Rui smacked his lips. "It's a little exaggerated but look here, the Lu family didn't even inform him of your engagement with Lu Moxi today. His own family is avoiding him, which means that he really isn't a good person. As the saying goes, better to be safe than sorry. You should stay away from him."
Tong Yi pinched her brows and said helplessly, "I have to get engaged to him."
She did not want to get engaged to him but she had to!
Ling Rui was worried. "Why aren't you listening to me? Lu Zhanbei…"
"I know, but I won't change my mind." Tong Yi interrupted Ling Rui's words. The more she listened, the more upset she felt. No matter what kind of person Lu Zhanbei was, she had no choice.
Ling Rui knew Tong Yi's personality. She was the kind of person who would not turn back until she hit a wall. Even if she had hit the wall, she would continue going on despite being drenched in blood. He sighed and started the car. "Since you disappeared suddenly, the engagement banquet venue must now be in a state of chaos. What should we do now? Are we going back to the hotel to settle the aftermath?"
Tong Yi nodded.
She definitely had to return to the hotel.
She'd already introduced herself to Lu Zhanbei and let him know of her intentions. Since her mission called for her to have a change of fiancé, she should inform her family about it.
She would settle the family matters first before settling Lu Zhanbei.
When the car passed a shopping mall, Tong Yi said, "Stop the car."
"What's wrong?" Ling Rui asked as he slowed down.
