In the hotel, Zhao Miaomiao and Lv Jian had also been exposed.
Though they were just supporting characters in Lin Ran's PowerPoint presentation, their roles were absolutely explosive. Moreover, they had tried to capitalize on Lin Ran's scandal for revenge and clout—such people were truly disgusting.
Of course, Lin Ran hadn't revealed Wu Zhishang's past, as that was his brother's deepest pain.
Right now, only people within Nuanyao Group had so guesses about it.
Lin Ran knew that even now, Wu Zhishang still held feelings for Zhao Miaomiao.
Though reconciliation was impossible, the love was definitely still there.
Because he had once been that kind of person too.
"Zhao Miaomiao, Lv Jian, both of you need to get out of our hotel imdiately."
"Why? We already paid."
"There’s a crowd outside looking for you. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to. Do you really want to get cornered by netizens here?"
The two of them were dumbfounded—had they known it would co to this, they wouldn’t have ssed with Lin Ran.
How could a freeloader have this much influence?
As soon as they packed their things and stepped out of the room, the hotel staff slamd the door behind them.
"Ugh! What a disgrace."
Zhao Miaomiao instantly exploded—no one, let alone a hotel employee, had ever dared to mock her like this before.
"What did you just say?"
The staff mber pointed down the hallway. "You really want to repeat it?"
In the end, Zhao Miaomiao and Lv Jian were cornered. Waves of verbal attacks later, they broke down and called the police.
The officers rescued them, but Zhao Miaomiao imdiately declared she would make those people pay.
The officer shrugged. "That’s not our jurisdiction. You’ll have to take it to court."
Furious, Zhao Miaomiao fainted on the spot, while Lv Jian lost all his usual arrogance.
At the estate, Lin Ran was still being affectionate with Luo Yao.
"Yao Yao, this ti, the Lin family is completely finished."
"But I still feel like it’s not enough."
After all, the Lin family mbers were still alive.
In her past life, she had died.
If she let the people who killed her off this easily, then what was the point of living again?
What kind of man doesn’t seek revenge?
"Ah Ran, whatever you want to do, I’ll support you. Go all out—don’t forget, your wife is Luo Yao."
Lin Ran imdiately feigned anger.
"What are you talking about? I’d forget myself before I’d forget you. You’re my pillar of strength."
Luo Yao smiled in satisfaction. If Lin Ran remained dependent on her like this, that would be perfect.
"Ah Ran, Samsung’s delegation is coming tomorrow. Can I go to the company?"
Lin Ran frowned. "You’re still injured—be careful."
"Don’t worry, I know my limits."
Lin Ran sighed. "Good. If you worsen your injuries because you weren’t careful, I’ll lock you up and never let you out again."
Luo Yao laughed, genuinely happy.
"Fine, lock up then. We’ll stay locked up together—neither of us leaves."
Lin Ran imdiately raised his hands in surrender. "I was just joking. How could I ever lock up such an adorable wife?"
The next day arrived quickly. After leaving the estate, Lin Ran and Luo Yao parted ways near Luo Corporation’s office building.
The mont Lin Ran was gone, Luo Yao’s expression turned icy, almost inhuman.
"Wrap up the Samsung negotiations quickly. We’re visiting the prison afterward."
The negotiations were just an excuse—venting her fury was the real goal.
Her tenderness at the estate had often been an act. These past two days, she had been seething over Lin Ran’s renewed entanglent with Liu Ruxue.
Though the PR team had silenced public discussion, she couldn’t control what people thought.
Even if they didn’t say it out loud, their minds were still poisoned. Luo Yao couldn’t stand it.
She needed to do sothing—to unleash her rage.
anwhile, outside Nuanyao Group’s building, during the morning rush, Zhao Miaomiao had been waiting by Wu Zhishang’s Ferrari all night.
After leaving the police station, she had completely broken down—and then suddenly rembered Wu Zhishang.
She used to wait for him after work every day, but he always managed to evade her. Eventually, the growing crowds of netizens outside Nuanyao Group forced her to give up.
Now, she was back, seeking Wu Zhishang again—without Lv Jian by her side.
Finally, Wu Zhishang appeared, accompanied by three won.
Two of them were Chen Qingtian, a top-tier celebrity returning to the company after filming, along with her manager and assistant, Pei Qianqian. The third was Wu Zhishang’s new assistant, Zhang Xinyan.
Zhao Miaomiao froze. Forget whether a superstar like Chen Qingtian would have anything to do with Wu Zhishang—just look at the woman behind him.
Not only was her beauty leagues above Zhao Miaomiao’s, but her figure was flawless—curves in all the right places. A total bombshell.
Since when had Wu Zhishang beco such a playboy? n really were all the sa.
"Zhishang!" she called out. Wu Zhishang’s face darkened.
Truthfully, he had spotted Zhao Miaomiao from afar. She had been lurking around the company lately, and he had been avoiding her, even abandoning his own car.
As her forr simp, he could recognize the woman who had betrayed him from a mile away.
He had planned to slip past her, but she blocked his path.
"Don’t call that. You can address as Mr. Wu or Wu Zhishang, but not by my given na. I don’t deserve it."
Ignoring him, Zhao Miaomiao pointed at Zhang Xinyan. "Who is she?"
Chen Qingtian’s eyes lit up with amusent, settling in to watch the drama unfold.
Zhang Xinyan, anwhile, looked entertained, making no move to explain herself.
She had only speculated about Wu Zhishang and Zhao Miaomiao’s relationship after Lin Ran’s livestream, but she knew nothing concrete.
Still, seeing soone give Wu Zhishang trouble delighted her.
"What’s it to you?" Wu Zhishang shot back.
"You—I never thought you were this kind of person, sneaking around with other won behind my back!"
Zhang Xinyan had been indifferent at first, but the accusation annoyed her.
Did this woman really think she could slander her for free?
So, she deliberately hooked her arm through Wu Zhishang’s.
"Boss, didn’t you promise to spend tonight with ?"
Wu Zhishang stiffened. Though he was the company president, he was still inexperienced when it ca to won’s advances.
Chen Qingtian stifled a laugh. His reaction was exactly the sa as when they first t.
After all this ti, he was still so shy and awkward.
If possible, she wouldn’t mind adding him to her collection of male admirers.
Zhao Miaomiao’s eyes widened. "You—Wu Zhishang, you shaless jerk!"
