Lin Wu knew what he meant and, with the thought of 'seeing Buddha all the way to the west', bent down to help the man up and supported him towards the exit.
Soon, the pair reached the exit of the alley.
A black car was parked at the intersection.
The streetlight illuminated their faces.
The man could clearly smell the faint fragrance coming from the girl.
It wasn't the scent of synthetic perfume.
It smelled good.
Zhang Xianxian was hiding around the corner at the entrance of the alley.
At this moment, upon seeing the man Lin Wu was supporting, a slight smirk appeared on her lips, her eyes full of scorn.
She had thought Lin Wu had encountered some big shot!
Turns out the guy was just like Lin Wu, an unwanted bastard.
The man supported by Lin Wu was called Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's original name was Su Wenbei, the eldest son of Su Haichao of the Su Family, one of the eight major prestigious families in Qing City.
Su Haichao was once the successor of the Su Family.
Who would have thought that Su Haichao and his wife would suffer a tragic boat accident twenty-two years ago, disappearing without a trace!
As a result, Su Wenbei became the jinx who brought death to his parents, and no one in the Su Family wanted anything to do with him, fearing that they too would be jinxed.
Furthermore, an accidental blood test revealed that the blood type of the grandson Su Wenbei didn't match with that of Old Master Su, with a similarity of zero percent.
Enraged, Old Master Su promptly kicked Su Wenbei out of the Su Family!
Thus, four-year-old Su Wenbei was taken in by his maternal grandparents to live with them, and his name was changed to Lu Ye.
The implication being that even without his parents, he must live as tenaciously as a wild grass.
After being taken in by his maternal grandparents, Lu Ye was spoiled rotten, dropping out of junior high at 16 and disappearing without a trace!
To protect his reputation, the Lu Family claimed he had gone abroad to study!
Yet there was no record of him at any prestigious international school!
At the age of 26, Lu Ye returned to City A, now running a repair shop by the roadside. If not for the financial support from the Lu Family's Old Master and Old Mistress, Lu Ye might have already starved to death!
Indeed, Zhang Xianxian was not only a reborn woman but also possessed a System!
In her previous life, Zhang Xianxian married Su Haiyue, the youngest son of Old Master Su.
Therefore, she was well-acquainted with Lu Ye's circumstances.
With the help of the System, she learned that tonight Lin Wu would encounter a top dog who stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
It would even directly change Lin Wu's destiny.
Her goal was to steal Lin Wu's good fortune, making the top dog her devoted subordinate.
After receiving the System's prompt, Zhang Xianxian immediately followed Lin Wu.
She did not expect the outcome to be such a disappointment.
How could Lu Ye ever be considered a top dog?
Pat, pat, pat—
Once again, footsteps sounded from nearby.
Zhang Xianxian turned her head slightly and saw a blurry figure approaching.
As the person drew closer, Zhang Xianxian recognized him, and he was none other than Jiang Shaoyun, the future power player in the Capital Circle!
Although Jiang Shaoyun was currently largely unknown, no one knew that he would stand at the summit of the business world in just three years!
In her previous life, Zhang Xianxian had only caught a distant glimpse of the much-admired Jiang Shaoyun at a business function.
Zhang Xianxian narrowed her eyes slightly.
She hadn't expected that Jiang Shaoyun would appear in City A at this time.
Since this was the case, she could take this opportunity to get close to Jiang Shaoyun, share hardships with him, grow together, and make him utterly devoted to her, deeply rooted in affection!
She needed to plan this unexpected meeting carefully.
Tonight was not the right time, so Zhang Xianxian left without making a sound.
As for Lin Wu.
She was just a small fry.
If in her previous life she could lead to Lin Wu's body being thrown in the wilderness, then she certainly could do it again in this life.
Zhang Xianxian would never tolerate an illegitimate daughter ruining her reputation!
On this side.
Lin Wu helped Lu Ye into the car.
The two were quite close, and Lu Ye looked at her profile just like that.
"Kid, my name is Lu Ye."
The man's voice was pleasant, a deep and magnetic tone.
Lin Wu didn't seem to hear him; she simply shut the car door behind her and walked away.
Through the window, Lu Ye could see her retreating figure; the young girl walked away decisively without ever looking back once.
Lu Ye chuckled softly.
She sure was a kid with personality!
Click.
The front passenger door opened at that moment.
A young man settled into the driver's seat.
If Zhang Xianxian were there, she would've recognized that this person was the very big shot she'd been talking about.
Jiang Shaoyun
"Third Brother, I'm late,"
Lu Ye leaned back in the rear seat, his lips slightly parting, "Head back to Imperial Court Manor."
