Chapter 3

Translator: Lonelytree

Ignoring the physical discomfort, Xiao Lingyu left the hotel in a hurry!

She knew that a tough battle was waiting for her at the company.

In her previous life, her mind was blank when she woke up at the hotel. It was because she had just slept with a man. She had no idea how that happened, but she was deeply ashamed by it.

When she woke up and saw the blood and the other red spots on the bed, she was overwhelmed by fear, horror, and heavy guilt towards her boyfriend. She had lost her purity, and this was a serious betrayal to her boyfriend. She was very sorry.

She collapsed on the bed and started to cry until her phone rang. When she saw the name on the phone, she cried even harder.

However, the phone kept on ringing.

Xiao Lingyu had no idea how long it had passed before she finally reached for the phone with trembling hands. At that moment, she was fragile, and she needed comfort. She believed she could find that from her boyfriend.

The moment she picked up the phone, a man's voice came from the other end. His voice was filled with concern and worry.

He asked anxiously, "Yu 'Er, What's wrong? Where are you now?"

Xiao Lingyu's voice was hoarse from the crying. Tears still flowed down her eyes. But not to make her boyfriend worry, she wiped her tears and forced a smile. "Brother Ran, it's okay, I'm fine!"

But the man kept on asking like he could sense something was wrong. "Yu 'Er, your voice is hoarse. Have you been crying?"

The question broke the dam within Xiao Lingyu. She burst into tears again. No matter how hard her boyfriend comforted her, it was pointless.

The man didn't hang up. After some time, Xiao Lingyu heard the man say, "Yu 'Er, it's okay. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu was heavily comforted. After hanging up, she decided to break up with Chen Ran. Her Brother Ran was too good of a man, and he deserved someone better than her. He shouldn't be tied to a ruined girl for the rest of his life.

After Xiao Lingyu packed up, she left the hotel and returned to the company. She planned to resign and then break up with Chen Ran. Then she would leave. However, Xiao Lingyu, in her past life, walked into a disaster at the company. It was a disaster that was meticulously planned.

...

Thinking back, Xiao Lingyu had a cold smile on her face, but a dark light flashed in her eyes.

In her previous life, she was framed. But this time, she had returned so she would not make the same mistake.

While she was thinking about what to do, Xiao Lingyu's phone rang again. Her eyes flashed with disgust and hatred when she saw the caller Id.

Xiao Lingyu thought about it and answered the call.

"Yu 'Er, where are you now?" Chen Ran's tone was filled with worry. "I went to your department, but they said you have not arrived. Did something happen?" It was clear that the man was digging for information.

Hearing the hypocrite, Xiao Lingyu felt a wave of disgust. She suppressed it and took a deep breath. Her voice was very calm as she said, "I'm fine. I encountered a mad dog. But I have already chased it away. I'll be hurrying to the company now!"

Xiao Lingyu hung up without waiting for a response.

Chen Ran held the phone and frowned. He felt something was not right.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Lingyu, he knew that she would be crying in despair after finding out what had happened to her. She would be filled with guilt towards him. However, from her tone, it sounded like she was perfectly fine.

With that thought, Chen Ran's heart burned with anger. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, "Xiao Lingyu, so you never cared about me after all!"

This meant that Xiao Lingyu had been sleeping around. It would explain why she was so unfazed by the trap they prepared for her.

Zhao Wenman, who sat on the couch, heard Chen Ran. Her eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She looked very proud and sarcastic.

She smiled and asked, "Look at your long face. What happened? Did the slut hang up on you again?"

Chen Ran said, "It's not that. But she said she'd reach the company soon."

When Zhao Wenman heard that, she looked excited. She said with a smile, "Good, that's very good. When the bitch reaches the company, she will know what hell looks like. I need to be there when she is exposed to have slept with a big-bellied, ugly middle-aged man for money! I have to see the look on her face!"

She could not wait to see Xiao Lingyu fall into the depths of hell. It would be so interesting. Zhao Wenman picked up an expensive phone and made a call. She ordered coldly, "Be prepared!"

When she said that, Chen Ran's expression changed. But it quickly returned to normal, and he looked at Zhao Wenman lovingly again.

...

Xiao Lingyu came to the front door of the Huiqing Group and stopped. Her expression was indifferent, but her eyes were ice-cold. She clenched her hands tightly and looked at the company's entrance. She said, "I'm here. The pair of scumbags humiliated me and ruined my past life. But this time, I can't let them achieve that goal!"

She took a deep breath. As she was about to enter the door, she frowned and turned around. She saw a man sitting on the pavement.

The man had a handsome face and a muscular figure. He was so much better than Chen Ran. But his clothes were dirty.

Xiao Lingyu thought about it and walked over. She uttered, "Sir, can you do me a favor? After it's over, I'll give you two thousand RMB!"

Two thousand was more than half of Xiao Lingyu's monthly salary. She had always been frugal, and this was the first time she spent so much in a single transaction.

However, this time, she'd make sure it was money well spent.

Yan Siming looked at the woman who walked over. He was baffled hearing what she said. He looked around and then pointed at himself. He asked with confusion, "Pretty lady, you're talking to me?"

Xiao Lingyu said, "If not, am I talking to air? You're the only one sitting here!"

Yan Siming was amused. 'This girl has an interesting personality. Even when she's asking for a favor, her tone is sharp. No woman at City Z dares to talk to me like that.'

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Your face is not on the money, so how would I know who you are!" Xiao Lingyu said, "I'm very pressed for time. Yes, or no?"

Yan Siming was stunned. He shrugged and asked, "Sure, but what... can I do for you?"

"Pretend you just had a one-night stand with me!"

"Huh?!"
