She hesitated in her steps, instinctively trying to bypass the person in front of her. Just as she moved to the side, she found the sa person had circled to her front again.
Zhang Lingying then noticed sothing was off, shifted her gaze from her phone screen, and looked at the person blocking her way.
Recognizing who it was, her eyes suddenly narrowed. "Why is it you again?"
Zhang Lingying’s look was one of disdain; she didn’t even want to talk more and turned to leave.
Just as she took a step, her arm was grabbed.
"How could you just walk away without saying hello to an old acquaintance? Isn’t that a bit heartless?" Lu Jing, dressed in a red suit, smiled wickedly.
It seed like he was joking carelessly, but the hand that grabbed Zhang Lingying’s was tightening silently.
Zhang Lingying tried to shake him off, found she couldn’t, and her expression darkened. "Who’s an old acquaintance of yours? Let go!"
Lu Jing was notorious for his thick skin. Despite her disdain, he didn’t panic or relent, not only keeping his hold but also earnestly helping Zhang Lingying to recall their past interactions.
"Whatever you say, I lived at your place for nearly half a month, and at the ti, you even praised as the most persistent person you had ever t. Are all won so heartless? With just a blink, you pretend not to recognize ."
"You squatted at my house for half a month, forcing into a situation where I had no choice but to leave ho. I was mocking you for being shaless, not genuinely praising you!" Zhang Lingying, unable to free herself from his grip, gritted her teeth in anger.
Professor Zhang Guangzi’s authority was well-known in the industry.
After he retired, many wanted to coax him out of retirent, not just Qin Nanyu.
Before Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian found the guesthouse, many had already discovered the actual address and visited.
Lu Jing was one of them.
Unlike others, upon learning of Professor Zhang’s death, Lu Jing did not question the news, nor did he rush to leave. Instead, he, like Qin Nanyu, noticed sothing unusual about Zhang Lingying and wanted her help.
But Zhang Lingying was unyielding, refusing no matter what.
No matter how good the conditions Lu Jing offered, she rejected them. Eventually, he moved into her guesthouse, shalessly squatting there, declaring that she would never get rid of him in this lifeti unless she agreed.
Thus, unable to kick him out or scold him away, Zhang Lingying could bear no more and had to leave ho.
She left the guesthouse to him alone...
This was why Zhang Lingying was not at ho when Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian arrived at the guesthouse.
She was avoiding Lu Jing, the rogue!
She thought that since Lu Jing had left her house, he must have given up. But little did she expect that after just a short while, he would reappear before her like a lingering spirit...
"If you don’t let go now, I’ll call the police!"
Zhang Lingying, who had grown up conducting research with Professor Zhang, knew little about worldly affairs and was slow to react, but she was no delicate flower to be easily manipulated.
Moreover, since coming to T City, her most frequent female contact had been Ji Weitian.
She might not have learned much else, but she mastered well Ji Weitian’s tactics in dealing with Qin Nanyu with shalessness.
Seeing Lu Jing not releasing his grip, she verbally threatened him, and without waiting for his response, she kicked him on his ankle.
The area was all bone; a fierce kick there would make any man cry out in pain.
Taking advantage of the mont, Zhang Lingying quickly freed herself from his control and pulled out her phone to call the police.
"Wait, aren’t you curious about why I ca to see you today?"
