Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 113: Cheering for Friends, Bidding Farewell to Enemies

Life is a wonderful thing, with loved people by your side and disliked ones disappearing from view. Those hated are resolved in the most desperate of manners.

Hmm… That Lu Ya seemed like a reborn individual too, and thinking about her final appearance, it really did resemble Zhang Ziqin’s. Could it be another person who realized they loved me after my death? Tui! Disgusting.

Had I known this earlier, I would have acted myself, making Lu Ya’s departure even more despairing. Being soft-hearted, engaging in tender love with those who killed me, is not something Lu Li would do. He had placed all his hopes in his previous life; the current him… is cruel! Aside from a few girls who have entered his heart, he harbors no mercy for others.

Anyone who offends him faces vengeance, deadly vengeance. Oh right, there’s also that darn Li Zichuan! A good brother, no explanation needed. Unexpectedly, even after deliberately distancing himself in his previous life,

Li Zichuan still considered him his best brother, the first to avenge him, paying with his life. That’s a true brother from another mother!

That dead woman, Zhang Ziqin, actually provided useful information before her death. Make the most out of it!

“Are you in a good mood?” Gazing at Lu Li, Cao Yingying flashed a bit of resentment. Damn it, she never thought she’d be outshined. This guy came back, grabbed her, and ran off without saying anything. Chen Xiaoyi, covering her face, shyly stole glances at Lu Li. She could tell, Lu Li was truly happy today, happier than he’s ever been.

“Of course, I’m in a good mood. You’re all by my side, and my enemies are completely finished. How could I not be?” Lu Li tactfully responded, knowing Cao Yingying understood more, but Chen Xiaoyi still had much to learn. Best to take care of her now! Of course, Chen Xiaoyi must learn in the future too.

“You just be smug. I’m telling you, I put up with you today, but don’t expect it in the future!” Cao Yingying poked Lu Li’s forehead. She knew he was in high spirits now and had refrained from spoiling it earlier, but that didn’t mean she liked this.

“Ha-ha-ha, then I’ll go find Xiao Yi and You Meng. Let them team up against you, the big boss.” Lu Li laughed heartily.

“No way!” Chen Xiaoyi popped her head out, brandishing her fist at Lu Li in protest.

Embarrassed to death, this bad guy.

“Wait, from what you’re implying, you want to promote the maid?” Cao Yingying sharply caught the hidden meaning in Lu Li’s words, squinting her eyes.

“Well… not entirely. You Meng will still cook and handle cleaning,” Lu Li explained.

Knowing it wasn’t You Meng who killed him in his previous life left Lu Li in good spirits. But considering she had worked for Ye Chen, the protagonist of the story, Lu Li naturally harbored some bitterness.

Ye Chen was the protagonist, and though the story changed because of Lu Li, the thought of You Meng having worked under the protagonist left him somewhat resentful.

“You really are petty!” Cao Yingying laughed helplessly.

Jealousy aside, she wasn’t one to hold grudges, especially against other women. A little temper towards Lu Li for fun was enough; she wouldn’t extend it to others.

“Petty, so what? Hmph!”

“Don’t disgust me. How old are you? Do you still think acting coy is cute?” Cao Yingying playfully glared at Lu Li, who was suddenly acting spoiled.

“Ew, Lu Brother, act normal.” Chen Xiaoyi chuckled, feigning disgust.

“Alright then, you all want to rebel, huh? See how I deal with you…”

Lu Li, like a bandit descending from the mountains, menacingly scooped up both.

“Ah, Lu Brother, calm down… don’t do it~~”

“Lu Li, you better behave!!”

Amidst the playful banter and joy, Lu Li began to delegate tasks for tomorrow.

“Alright, now that everything is settled, I’m heading to Magic City tomorrow. Xiao Yi, arrange the company matters and come over. Yingying, are you coming with me, or…”

“My grandfather has started exercising again these past few days, regaining his strength. I need to stay with him for a few more days, or those people can’t manage him.” Cao Yingying sighed. Her grandfather, now able to walk again, was overjoyed, and she needed to keep an eye on him, lest he attempt somersaults.

“It’ll just be a few days. Grandfather will soon be completely recovered once he calms down.”

Lu Li nodded understandingly: “Then, I’ll go ahead and settle the real estate there, and you can just move in when you arrive.”

Chen Xiaoyi frowned slightly: “Lu Brother, are you really in such a rush to go to Magic City? The Su and Liu families have just merged into Lu Corporation. If there’s unrest now…”

“If they’re inclined to act, no matter how long I suppress it, it will eventually happen. If not, they’ve already accepted it. Don’t worry, Yingying will still be here for a while. If you have any issues, ask her, or just call me!” Lu Li smiled reassuringly.

Would the Su and Liu families cause trouble? Perhaps, but it wouldn’t amount to much.

Cao Yingying rolled her eyes at Lu Li, exasperated. What was he on about? Clearly, he was setting her up to be the bad guy, to guide Chen Xiaoyi.

Speechless!

Having one’s woman guide another, only he could come up with such a plan.

But then again, Chen Xiaoyi was also destined to help Lu Li manage his empire, so she might as well lend a hand!

“Don’t underestimate Yingying. There are things you still don’t understand, but Yingying does.” Seeing Chen Xiaoyi’s furrowed brows, Lu Li reminded her.

“Lu Brother, I understand.” Chen Xiaoyi nodded seriously.

Despite Cao Yingying’s usual unassuming appearance as she tended the gardens of the Lu family estate, she truly was more capable than Chen Xiaoyi, a fact Chen Xiaoyi had to acknowledge.

The future first lady, the legitimate wife in Chen Xiaoyi’s view, was definitely going to be Cao Yingying.

“Phew!” Lu Li nodded again, pulling both into his embrace: “Then I’m off with You Meng first. Don’t make me miss you too much.”

“Get lost, trying to annoy me, right? Let me tell you, have You Meng be careful. If she ruins you, see how I deal with her.” Cao Yingying laughed warmly, her threats lacking any real menace, merely playful banter.

Cute, so cute!!!

Awwwl!!!
