The true features of Ling Mo

"Stop... I was wrong."

Chu Ruoyan's mouth tasted bitter. If Ling Mo could think of such despicable methods as drugging, the things Liang Silu found out must be even more unbearable, or else she wouldn't be this angry.

Liang Silu said angrily, "If I don't slap you, should I let Lu Han do it?"

After all, Lu Han was the one directly involved. However, Liang Silu was just joking, but Chu Ruoyan responded seriously, "That can work."

She really meant it.

Forget about slapping; any form of punishment would be fine if it helped Lu Han vent his anger. She would immediately buy a whip if needed.

Of course, even if Lu Han wasn't doing it to vent but simply wanted to punish her, she would still cooperate...

"You..."

Liang Silu was speechless. Chu Ruoyan might be talented in business, but when it came to personal relationships, her thought process was somewhat peculiar.

Especially after Lu Han rejected her, she seemed to have developed some mental issues.

Liang Silu was both angry and sympathetic towards Chu Ruoyan, having mentally cursed her countless times for deserving what happened. But there was no way she could just stand by and watch her best friend suffer.

"Lulu, please tell me what happened with Ling Mo."

Chu Ruoyan sounded desperate, almost giving up on herself, wanting to know how blind and foolish she had been.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. How about this: I'll come to your company in an hour, and we can talk face-to-face."

Just as Liang Silu was about to hang up, Chu Ruoyan's apologetic voice came through: "Thank you."

In fact, Chu Ruoyan knew very well that it must have cost Liang Silu a lot of pride to get Lu Han to visit her at the hospital.

Originally, that level of respect could have been used for many other purposes. After all, Lu Han was now vastly different, being the eldest son of the prestigious Lu family, and he held a good impression of Liang Silu. If anything difficult or needing help came up, he wouldn't stand idly by.

But Liang Silu wasted that favor on her.

Apart from gratitude, Chu Ruoyan also felt fortunate. Having such a good friend made her feel like her life was worth it.

"What are you thanking me for? If you say that again, I really will slap you."

Liang Silu was tough-talking but truly cared for Chu Ruoyan. 

One mistake doesn't mean everything should be forgiven. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people constantly wishing they could buy regret pills.

Liang Silu arrived at Mingxue Game Company in less than an hour. Not seeing Yuan Xiaotong, she noticed a relatively new face instead, likely a temporary replacement.

"Where's Yuan Xiaotong? Did you fire her?"

Liang Silu asked as soon as she entered. Chu Ruoyan nodded, "Yes, she admitted to being bribed by Ling Mo. What else could I do?"

However, Chu Ruoyan didn't dare reveal the specifics of the bribery.

A mere five thousand yuan plus fifty thousand upon completion, and her trusted assistant betrayed her. It was too shameful...

Liang Silu didn't press for details; firing the troublemaker was enough.

Her eyes fell on a newly opened delivery box on the table and then glanced at the cup in Chu Ruoyan's hand, which clearly wasn't suitable for women. She couldn't help but comment, "This is so ugly. When did your taste become so bad?"

"It's not for me."

Chu Ruoyan shook her head and bit her lip, "When Lu Han left, he threw away or burned everything that belonged to him. I thought about restoring the house to its original state."

"This cup is the style he used before. I searched for a long time online to find an exact match." "Do you think if he ever comes back and sees how much effort I put in, he might be a little happier?"

She even blushed slightly, seemingly lost in fantasies.

Liang Silu sneered, "And then you'd give him that green Rolex Submariner watch?"

It was originally just a gift for their two-year anniversary. There was nothing wrong with giving the watch itself.

But since Ling Mo helped pick it out and chose such a color, coupled with Chu Ruoyan's overnight absence, it was purely infuriating.

Most importantly, Chu Ruoyan got the date wrong.

Liang Silu couldn't understand. Was the allure of the "white moonlight" so strong that she didn't see through his malicious intentions?

She was furious when she found out, wishing she could open Chu Ruoyan's brain to see if it was filled with nonsense.

"Come on, can't you stop mentioning this?"

Being reminded of her mistakes by her best friend, Chu Ruoyan deeply regretted it.

Initially, she didn't think much of it because she felt guilt-free subconsciously. Only after Liang Silu pointed out and scolded her did she realize how wrong she had been.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

At least she hadn't given the watch to Lu Han yet, or the misunderstanding would have been worse.

Chu Ruoyan had already sold the Submariner and bought a more expensive one, planning to use it to appease Lu Han at the right moment.

But thinking about the million-yuan Patek Philippe on Lu Han's wrist, she felt her gift was inadequate...

"What, you don't want people to point out your stupidity?"

Despite saying so, Liang Silu let it go and took out a stack of documents from her bag, placing them in front of Chu Ruoyan, "Take a look."

Chu Ruoyan picked them up and read carefully, her frown deepening and her expression growing darker.

If everything in those documents was true, Ling Mo was utterly despicable.

Though his initial motivation for going abroad was to pursue a wealthy woman, during his time overseas, he not only lived a decadent lifestyle but also accumulated gambling debts of several million.

Only when threatened with physical harm did Ling Mo finally confess to his family.

Upon learning this, Ling Hui was enraged but had to grit his teeth and pay the ransom for his only son.

As a result, not only was the company's cash flow interrupted, but the family property was also mortgaged, leading to the current dire financial situation.

"Now it's clear that Ling Mo approached you with ill intentions."

Seeing Chu Ruoyan silent, Liang Silu added, "He first drove Lu Han away and then planned to gain both money and love from you. His scheme is quite clever. No wonder he dared to entangle you despite knowing Lu Han is untouchable. Do you think... this counts as seeking wealth amidst danger?"

"Lulu, stop mocking me."

The illusion of the "white moonlight" was completely shattered, and Chu Ruoyan felt no lingering affection, only hatred.

She gritted her teeth, "I initially wanted to make Ling Mo desperate, but now, I've changed my mind. I want to make him... wish he were dead!"

Liang Silu perked up, "Ruoyan, what are you going to do?"

Chu Ruoyan narrowed her eyes, "Since he loves gambling, this time, I'll let him gamble to his heart's content!"
