Capítulo 1507: Chapter 1500: Third Young Master, Thank You

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Luan Hongyue looked at Lu Tianxing and sighed softly, saying, “Third Young Master, you’re joking. What use is it for me to think I’m beautiful when someone before didn’t even spare me a glance? Doesn’t that imply I’m ugly? So ugly that standing in front of a man, he would have no thoughts about me at all, where’s the talk of being pretty?”

“Uh!”

Seeing Luan Hongyue in a state of self-pity, Lu Tianxing broke out in a cold sweat, fully aware that the ‘someone’ Luan Hongyue referred to was indeed him.

“Uh, Miss Luan, that’s in the past, let’s not bring it up again.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled awkwardly, hurriedly changing the subject, saying: “By the way, Miss Luan, how have you been these days at Bai’s Group?”

“Very well, Zhiqing and the others have been very nice to me.”

Luan Hongyue looked at Lu Tianxing, a faint smile on her face: “Third Young Master, thank you.”

Hearing Luan Hongyue’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback: “Thank me? Miss Luan, why thank me?”

“Thank you, Third Young Master, for bringing me out of a world of endless darkness and giving me a new life.”

Luan Hongyue gazed at Lu Tianxing, her eyes carrying a hint of complex emotion: “If it weren’t for you, Third Young Master, I might still be just a pawn in someone else’s hand in Jiangnan. It was you, Third Young Master, who gave me a new life, making me feel like I’m no longer a soulless puppet, but a woman with flesh and blood, one with emotions, love, and hatred.”

At this point, Luan Hongyue paused and continued: “Third Young Master, I know you don’t think much of me. I might never repay your kindness in this lifetime, but if there’s an afterlife, I don’t ask to stay by your side. I just wish to repay your great kindness as a cow or a horse in the next life.”

Upon hearing Luan Hongyue’s words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, “Miss Luan, you really don’t have to do this. In fact, I should thank you! If it weren’t for your strategy this time, wanting to capture both Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group at once might have required more effort. This time, you deserve great credit. Rest assured, as long as you stay in Modu, no one can harm you. From now on, you are no longer the owner of the Red People Club, nor the eldest daughter of the Luan Family. You have only one identity now, which is Luan Hongyue, a member of Bai’s Group.”

“Thank you, Third Young Master.”

Luan Hongyue’s body trembled slightly upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words. Somehow gathering the courage, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lu Tianxing directly.

Lu Tianxing felt a fragrant breeze hit his face, followed by a soft, delicate body falling into his arms, with a pretty face resting against his shoulder.

Before Lu Tianxing could react, Luan Hongyue had already released him, a faint blush on her pretty face, smiling as she said, “Third Young Master, your elevator has arrived. Aren’t you going up?”

Looking at Luan Hongyue’s face and the smile she had put on, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly and said, “Miss Luan, if you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me. I will help you.”

“Thank you, Third Young Master.”

Luan Hongyue looked at Lu Tianxing, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Third Young Master, there is one more thing I want to tell you: there is a traitor in Bai’s Group?”

“A traitor?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Luan Hongyue meant.

“Yes, just a few days ago, when Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group launched an attack on Bai’s Group, someone secretly informed the opponent about Bai’s Group’s plans. Several times we nearly fell into well-laid traps if it weren’t for Ya Fei and Qian Ru’s quick actions. We might have failed miserably,” Luan Hongyue said gravely.

Ever since Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing were attacked on Guanqian Street, they had been implementing their plan to harass Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group with precision. The first day was very successful, but starting from the second and third days, it seemed as if the opponent knew exactly what they were planning. Every time they wanted to launch an attack on Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group, the opponent had already set up traps, waiting to catch them.

If it was a coincidence once or twice, then three or four times was definitely not a coincidence. Someone must have leaked information to Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group.

To verify this suspicion, they tried driving everyone out of the finance department, leaving only the traders and themselves. When they launched another attack on Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group, the opponent was unable to respond effectively, proving that there was indeed a traitor inside Bai’s Group.

Having listened to Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Do you know who it is?”

“I don’t know,”

Luan Hongyue shook her head and said, “At that time, several high-ranking officials from Bai’s Group were in the finance department. There’s no way to determine who it was, but Rose has already had someone secretly investigate for several days. There should be news soon.”

“Hmm, I understand. By the way, does Zhiqing know about this?”

“Zhiqing knows, and there’s a company meeting scheduled for half-past ten.”

“Got it. Miss Luan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

After finishing his words, Lu Tianxing nodded to Luan Hongyue, not lingering any longer, and walked into the elevator, not paying too much attention to the matter of the traitor at Bai’s Group. Since Bai Zhiqing already knew, it meant she had a way to handle it, so he didn’t need to get involved.

Luan Hongyue didn’t leave, standing there to watch the elevator doors close, a sigh in her heart. Just as she was about to turn towards another elevator, she heard a crisp voice from beside her.

“Are you reluctant? If you’re reluctant, why not open your heart and try to let him accept you? By then, regardless of success or failure, you won’t be left with regrets in your heart, don’t you think?”

Upon hearing this voice, Luan Hongyue trembled slightly, a look of panic appearing on her face, like a thief caught by the owner. Her eyes instinctively glanced at the source of the voice.

When she saw who it was, Luan Hongyue was stunned; the person who spoke was none other than Lin Yafei.

“Ya Fei, how are you here? Didn’t you say you were going to rest at home today?” Seeing Lin Yafei walking towards her, the panic on Luan Hongyue’s face gradually disappeared as she spoke.

“I didn’t have much to do today, so I decided to come out.”

Lin Yafei approached Luan Hongyue, a charming smile on her face as she said, “If you like him, why don’t you let him know? You’re so beautiful; if you confess to him, I bet he wouldn’t refuse. He might even happily take you to the hotel and do something enjoyable.”

As soon as Lin Yafei finished speaking, a blush spread across Luan Hongyue’s pretty face, like a red apple, tempting one to take a bite. But soon, as if recalling something, a trace of desolation unwillingly crossed Luan Hongyue’s face.

Sighing softly, Luan Hongyue slowly said, “Ya Fei, stop joking. How could I possibly like him? Don’t speak carelessly; it’s not good if Zhiqing hears.”

“Alright, Hongyue, you might be able to fool Zhiqing, but not me. I can see that trace of affection in your eyes. Though you hide it well, it doesn’t escape my gaze. Plus, Hongyue, don’t forget, when we were fighting side-by-side a while ago, I said we all belonged to Lu Tianxing, and you didn’t object. In fact, there was a hint of joy in your eyes, which says it all. You like Lu Tianxing, don’t you?”

Lin Yafei, who managed both the Lin Group and served as the Second Hall Master of Yama Palace, thriving in Beijing, had a keen eye. Whether it was Luan Hongyue’s earlier behaviors or the lovesick look today, even a fool could tell Luan Hongyue liked Lu Tianxing.

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Luan Hongyue was slightly surprised. She chose not to deny it, taking a deep breath and said, “What does it matter if I love or don’t love? Ya Fei, do you think he would love a woman of ill repute?”

With this, Luan Hongyue sighed deeply in her heart again. This, she believed, was the true reason she was unworthy of Lu Tianxing. Her reputation in Jiangnan was already ruined to the extreme, even though she had never been taken advantage of by any man and was still a maiden. To outsiders, she seemed like a woman for everyone. No man would want to marry a woman of ill repute, even if he did, his family wouldn’t agree. For any woman, these are stains that can’t be erased.
