Chapter 220: Miss Lu, We'll Wait and See (4)

"But our society loves scandals; every time we bring others down to elevate you, people will begin to suspect we're taking bribes!"

"Yet I can play the high-level critic," Lu Wanwan said, her clear eyes suddenly curving into a sweet smile. "I'll criticize in such a way that no one can hate you for it, and everyone will see it's just nitpicking without basis."

"Hmm, you have potential." He curled his lips, suddenly wanting to pat her head.

His fingers had just moved when he put them back down.

"Let's leave it at that then. What about Mr. Gu?" he asked suddenly.

The previously enthusiastic Lu Wanwan, upon hearing Gu Annan's name, found herself speechless, a fleeting shadow of gloom passing over her.

"He's... inside," she said as she put away her phone. "I'll go in first, goodbye."

Bai Lingyun appeared thoughtful, leaning lazily against the palm tree behind him, watching her as she walked toward the brightly lit area.
