Chapter 84: You Meng: I Will Take Her Place
Life is such that when you’re in a suffocating environment, you’ll never be happy. But when surrounded by people who love you, no matter what, you’ll feel blessed.
Now, for Lu Li, three major enemies—one temporarily absent, another gone for good, and the last securely in his grip—awaiting the final act of revenge was merely a matter of time.
The gloom he carried from his past life had brightened significantly.
After driving Zhang Ziqin’s Zhang Corporation to bankruptcy, Lu Li had come to terms with his own feelings. Malicious humiliation was, to him, more unbearable than death.
You Meng, too, had been searching for herself in her past life; it’s just that she hadn’t left her name, and without knowing what she looked like as an adult, her actions were understandable.
Not to mention, lately, You Meng has been trying exceptionally hard, from cooking to serving as Lu Li’s knee pillow, and even wanting to indulge in feeding play if Cao Yingying and the others weren’t around, though Lu Li declined!
As for more, You Meng was willing, but Lu Li didn’t give her the chance.
This attitude of You Meng, wanting to atone and please Lu Li, truly paid off for him.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
Assigning You Meng to handle some security issues turned out to be like entrusting her with an important mission. In just a few days, she had the entire Lu estate security tightened, elevating the security level by several notches.
And all without needing to pay her a wage—this girl was more than happy to work for Lu Li.
Such a fun and useful You Meng was indeed too precious.
The lingering frustration in his heart dissipated after successfully avenging himself on Zhang Ziqin. Compared to Zhang Ziqin, You Meng truly didn’t count for much.
It’s funny how the person who humiliates you and the person who kills you, logic dictates you should be more hostile towards the latter. Yet, reality is often the opposite.
The factors involved are numerous. Anyway, the situation is what it is, and Lu Li was happy to accept it.
“Why so lazy today?” Cuddled in Lu Li’s arms, Cao Yingying squinted her eyes, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being cherished.
Then she could even offer him a knee pillow!
Alas!
Even if she was unwilling, You Meng knew she was at a stage of earning redemption and couldn’t compete with that vile woman, Cao Yingying. If forced to choose, Lu Li would definitely not pick her.
So, of course, she had to behave.

Zhang Corporation, a large family business built over generations, saw its shares evaporate and declared bankruptcy in just one day.
When Ye Chen heard the news, he was momentarily dumbfounded.
Especially knowing it was Lu Li’s doing, he couldn’t help grinding his teeth, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“Hmph, serves Zhang Ziqin right for not knowing better. If she had cooperated with me back then, with my help, Lu Li wouldn’t have had the chance. Now, look, the Lu Li you’ve been obsessed with has personally destroyed your foundation. Happy now? I’d love to see your face right now!”
Zhang Ziqin’s bankruptcy pleased Ye Chen, but it also meant Lu Li’s power was growing, something Ye Chen didn’t want to see.
“Wait for it, Lu Li. Enjoy your arrogance for now! Once my Tianlong organization enters the country, your end will come.”
Still, Zhang Ziqin must be heartbroken and in a mess right now. If he appeared before her at this moment, perhaps just a bit of consolation would make that beautiful woman obediently submit to him!
Pity, he can’t return to Hangzhou now.
Though his estimation of Zhang Ziqin’s capabilities has been revised down, making her unworthy of being his collaborator, he still covets that stunningly beautiful woman.
He’d love for Lu Li to see the woman he once pursued in my arms. That would be incredibly entertaining.
But he didn’t have time to consider these matters now, primarily because the beautiful woman in a cheongsam beside him had become his new target.
