Female lead's Delusion of Starting Over-Chapter 25 - No Need for That

Suddenly, Lu Li’s gaze sharpened, and his initially good mood soured instantly. Internally cursing his bad luck, he couldn’t believe he’d run into Zhang Ziqin in such a place. And Su Bingqing too.

Two women, two main female characters, double the disgust. In his previous life, these two women had teamed up powerfully, shaming Lu Li relentlessly as if participating in a competitive game to see who could defeat him first. Their relentless insults aimed at Lu Li were extreme, causing him to lose face in front of a large crowd time and again.

It was as if their existence was solely for the purpose of publicly teaming up with the protagonist to slap Lu Li in the face.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Xiaoyi noticed something off with Lu Li and, somewhat worried, tugged at his sleeve to ask.

“Nothing, just saw the person I used to ‘lick’ back when I was acting like a ‘lick dog’; it ruined my mood,” Lu Li didn’t try to hide his feelings. In fact, whether he hid them or not didn’t matter; everyone in Hangzhou knew about his infamous reputation as a ‘lick dog’. Haha, truly pathetic.

Even after playing the role of a ‘lick dog’, exhausting all his methods, he couldn’t get Zhang Ziqin, that woman, to show the slightest bit of affection. Perhaps he really did fall for Zhang Ziqin back then, too deep into the role, unable to get out, but all he received in return was endless humiliation.

No matter how good you were to her, the main female character would rather die than submit! Tsk tsk tsk!

“Ah!” Chen Xiaoyi looked in the direction Lu Li was gazing, only to see two excessively beautiful women chatting together. Their fair skin, noble yet cold temperament made Chen Xiaoyi feel inferior, out of place.

“Is this the person Lu Li used to like? Indeed… she’s really beautiful!” she thought with some reluctance, unable to hide her sense of loss. She had always thought Lu Li was after her body, but compared to the woman before her, how could Lu Li possibly be interested in her?

“Don’t overthink it. It’s all in the past. That woman took a lot from me. You’ll help me think of a way to make her spit out everything she took from me,” Lu Li said while rubbing Chen Xiaoyi’s head, noticing her hair was somewhat dry and not well-maintained.

Lu Li wasn’t the type to forgive and forget easily. His heart was filled with towering hatred, shadows of death, and indignation from being humiliated, emotions that could never be dissolved.

A spark of determination flashed in Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes. These days, it was widely known in the company that Zhang Ziqin had used the funds given by Lu Li to save Zhang Corporation, stringing Lu Li along while draining Lu Corporation. Now that Lu Li no longer liked her and didn’t even attend the Zhang family’s banquet, it was clear she was a bad woman, a green tea b*tch, utterly unworthy of Lu Li.

Lu Li had pursued her for so many years without moving her heart. The look Chen Xiaoyi gave Zhang Ziqin carried a bit of hostility.

“General Lu , I will definitely make that woman spit out everything she took from you,” she said fiercely, looking earnestly at Lu Li.

“Not bad, not bad, this girl is pretty good,” Lu Li thought silently, nodding at Chen Xiaoyi. Things were developing smoother than he had anticipated.

Walking past the two women with Chen Xiaoyi, Lu Li kicked a man in sunglasses pretending to be cool: “Where are you looking? Can’t you see when people are right in front of you?” His handsome face beamed with happiness, the two nuisances unable to dampen Lu Li’s joy at seeing an old friend.

“Damn, Lu Li, you bastard,” Li Zichuan, who almost fell, cursed as he turned around.

“My grandpa passed away years ago, are you looking to meet him?” Lu Li chuckled.

“Go to hell, you don’t have a single nice word, do you! I came all the way to Hangzhou to see you, and this is how you treat me.” Rubbing his butt, Li Zichuan also laughed, opening his arms and giving Lu Li a big hug.

“You came to see me, huh? If you tell me now you didn’t come for the Cao family’s birthday banquet, today I’ll arrange everything for you,” Lu Li sneered.

That was an important plot point in the story, also the second time Lu Li got slapped in the face. But by then, Lu Li was completely hopeless, feeling nothing, just mechanically completing the plot.

“Uh…” Li Zichuan had nothing to say.

“Hahaha, let’s not worry about those details. By the way, who’s this?” Glancing curiously at Chen Xiaoyi beside Lu Li, Li Zichuan knew Lu Li never interacted with any woman other than Zhang Ziqin.

His gaze shifted behind Lu Li, and sure enough, those two women were still there, especially Zhang Ziqin, whose face looked particularly ugly.

Lu Li is… giving up?

That’s actually good news!

“Chen Xiaoyi, my company’s employee, now living with me,” Lu Li said with a resigned smile.

“Oh, living with you, huh!” Li Zichuan’s eyes lit up, deliberately raising his voice loudly.

“No need for that,” Lu Li smiled helplessly, understanding Li Zichuan’s intention to vent directly but seeing no need for it. Zhang Ziqin might be angry that she lost her ‘lick dog’, but he couldn’t care less.

“Hahaha, sorry for overstepping, let’s go eat,” Li Zichuan sincerely felt happy for Lu Li, seeing that he had truly walked out of that bottomless pit named Zhang Ziqin!

That’s right, what’s so good about that Zhang Ziqin? In his eyes, she’s not worthy of Lu Li at all, aside from being a bit pretty, what else does she have?

There are plenty of beautiful women out there, why fixate on Zhang Ziqin?

“Let’s go eat!” Lu Li nodded.

***

“This!” Su Bingqing was surprised by the scene before her.

From the moment Lu Li arrived, she had noticed him, her heart leaping with joy yet also filled with worry, thinking Lu Li came for Zhang Ziqin.

And the woman Lu Li brought with him made her wary. If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, that woman was a manager at Ye Chen’s company, Ye Chen’s right hand.

But seeing the two walk past Zhang Ziqin, Su Bingqing was stunned.

Zhang Ziqin closed her eyes in pain, knowing that Lu Li no longer pursued her, and the rumors of him being close with an employee in the company she knew, but never dared to confirm. Maybe deep down, she still hoped it was just a rumor.

But actually seeing Lu Li with another woman, she couldn’t help but feel a heart-wrenching pain.

Is this how Lu Li felt in his previous life when he saw her with Ye Chen?

She truly experienced Lu Li’s pain from his previous life.

She accepts, she is willing to accept.

No matter what, she can accept everything about Lu Li, all of which she owes him.
