Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Beauty, Listen to Brother’s Advice

Zhong Lingxiao heard it and was so angry that he laughed.

The laughter grew louder.

"You? Fight to the death with me? With what?" Once deeply entwined partners, now their masks were ripped off.

Zhong Lingxiao’s tone was laced with undisguised contempt and disdain towards Lu Yingxue.

"You and the Pei Family dug a pit for Zhong Yi at the Thirteen Bay pier, and your assassination attempt on Zhong Yi in Moon Village, along with all your past deeds. Do you think I don’t know? If I’m going down, I’ll take you with me. Let’s see if you can withstand scrutiny!"

Zhong Lingxiao’s face darkened slightly as he said, "Lu Yingxue, your Lu Family has also done plenty of illegal things."

"That’s right, before I die, I can drag you down too. It’s worth it!"

"Those photos and videos are real, and once they hit the internet, they can’t be changed. If you want me to protect you, your reputation will never be as pristine as it once was. Don’t be too naive!"

Lu Yingxue took a deep breath and said, "I know, I just want to minimize the losses. Even if my reputation is tarnished, I don’t want it to be so one-sided. Netizens have no memory; once the fuss dies down, it will calm down slowly. I need you to put on an act with me, to clear my name as much as possible."

"Ha."

Zhong Lingxiao was already past caring, indifferent to reputation now.

Besides, as a man with power, a few more scandals wouldn’t affect him much.

He was so different from Lu Yingxue.

"How do you plan to clear your name?"

Lu Yingxue shared her plan.

"You’re crazy. Do you think I would agree?"

"Zhong Lingxiao, if you don’t agree, then just watch me go truly crazy and start biting everyone around. I can’t guarantee what I’ll say, and it won’t be too much loss for you. You should have thought about today when you messed around with me. I’m far more useful than Zhao Shuyuan! And... you probably really need my help now. I can make someone disappear silently..."

She was hinting at him.

Zhong Lingxiao clearly understood, and it was this sentence that swayed him.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Okay, deal. You better not play any tricks, or you’ll pay for it."

Lu Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Don’t worry, I need you now."

What did it matter if her reputation was destroyed, as long as she held onto power?

Even if she wasn’t the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association or relied on her medical skills, she could still stand firm in the Imperial Capital!

Did Qiao Xi and Zhong Yi think that ruining her reputation would make her fall?

Foolish dream!

Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth, hung up the phone, and then hailed a taxi. Her mask was drenched from the rain, and the driver gave her a few extra glances.

Sitting in the back seat, Lu Yingxue found the smell in the car somewhat unpleasant.

In the past, she never needed to take a taxi.

The car’s radio was on, broadcasting gossip news, coincidentally mentioning her and Zhong Lingxiao.

Seeing her figure, the driver wanted to chat: "Miss, where to?"

Lu Yingxue reported an address near Banshan Qiushui to avoid revealing her identity.

"Oh, that’s a wealthy area. Is your boyfriend there? Trying to reconcile after a breakup?" The driver couldn’t possibly guess that Lu Yingxue lived there, seeing her disheveled appearance as if she had been dumped.

"Lady, take some advice from me. The rich circles are messed up, haven’t you heard the news? Even the first socialite of the Imperial Capital became a mistress; I saved that video. We have high-definition ones; who knows how many have watched in private."

Lu Yingxue’s face turned stony: "Spreading such videos is illegal."

"Tsk."

The driver chuckled, "What man hasn’t watched? Don’t be so self-righteous. If she didn’t mess around, what would we have to spread? Blame that Lu Yingxue for being so scandalous! It’s more exciting than a movie. Claiming to be the top figure in traditional medicine, disgracing our ancestors!"

Lu Yingxue clenched her fists, striving to suppress her inner rage.

She had never encountered such vile comments!

Since childhood, she had never borne such a stigma!

"They say someone as fairy-like as her seeks thrills; no wonder the fiancé left her for another woman. Turns out he knew the kind of person she was, and she has the nerve to say she wanted to break off the engagement, disgraceful!"

Lu Yingxue was seething with rage.

Heat surged to her head.

"Shut up!"

She shouted harshly.

The driver shrugged helplessly, feeling awkward.

He drove in silence, glancing at the rear-view mirror occasionally, thinking women heartbroken from love are hard to please.

He assumed she was another gold digger tricked by a rich second generation, deserving her fate.

He purposely increased the meter rate, driving to the destination.noveldrama

"Three hundred twenty in total; it’s raining, so there’s a surcharge."

Lu Yingxue didn’t argue, directly transferring the payment.

Her face cold, she headed towards Banshan Qiushui.

The rain was heavy, the large raindrops stinging her as they fell on her, her eyes struggling to stay open. She finally reached the villa entrance.

The maid, seeing her in such a state, seemed at a loss.

"Miss."

Lu Yingxue had just stepped onto the steps, not yet reaching the entrance when she heard noise from inside.

There were loud voices.

Lu Yingxue opened her mouth, her voice slightly hoarse: "Who’s here?"

"Miss Xiang and her mother."

Xiang Mingzhu and Lu Yutong?

"What are they here for?"

"Not sure, Master drove us all out, saying no one was allowed in the living room. Maybe it’s something important. Miss, I’ll get you a towel to dry off. You’ll catch a cold like this."

"No need."

Lu Yingxue went inside, a cup landed in front of her.

Porcelain fragments scattered around.

Lu Bannong saw her, almost fainting from anger: "You... how dare you come back! Do you know how many times I called you!"

He was literally shocked to see the video of Lu Yingxue and Zhong Lingxiao in bed, almost passed out.

Soon after, the entire internet was buzzing with it.

He tried to use the Lu Family’s connections to suppress it but failed, the He Family also claimed helplessness, even accusing him of raising such a daughter! Bringing shame to the He Family.

They still weren’t aware that Lu Yingxue had no blood ties to the He Family.

Lu Bannong was furious: "You ungrateful child, come here and kneel! Butler, fetch the family rule!"

"Kneel!"

"Kneel before me! Cough... I’ll teach you some life lessons today!"

Lu Yingxue’s face remained impassive, catching a glimpse of Xiang Mingzhu’s smug expression sitting on the sofa, she stood still.
