Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1068 - 1048: Another Encounter with an Old Acquaintance
"Guangsha Group?" After leaving, Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi with great surprise: "Isn’t that why you dressed like this today?"
Even Elvis is dressed in a sharp suit, isn’t he?
"Half and half, I guess. First, get to know them. They’re all familiar faces and trustworthy, but there’s no need to be too formal. You can wear whatever you like in the future." Tang Tianyi smiled as he opened the passenger door for Luo Qianqian: "Guangsha Group..."
Before he could finish his sentence, both of their eyes sharpened. Luo Qianqian had just lifted one foot to get in the car when she stepped back out.
Under the dim parking lot lights, a man dressed in all black stood at the other end, not even showing his face.
However, it was clear he was watching in their direction, even attracting their attention.
Closing the car door, Tang Tianyi pulled Luo Qianqian behind him, his face full of seriousness: "Be careful, it should be that Evil Spirit you mentioned."
Luo Qianqian nodded, narrowing her eyes knowingly as she looked at the man: "Doesn’t look very tall, does he?"
But aside from the sinister aura, the man radiated a tremendous amount of hatred, which puzzled Luo Qianqian.
Who could hate her to such an extent?
"Luo Qianqian, long time no see." The hoarse voice was slightly grating, making it impossible to discern the original voice. Under the black hood, all that could be seen was a pair of eyes, pitch black with no trace of white.
"Self-awareness?" Tang Tianyi was quite surprised.
According to Luo Qianqian’s original description, he thought that once possessed by an Evil Spirit, the person’s consciousness would be lost, making any reaction impossible unless the Soul Power was strong enough to suppress it.
Now it looked like that wasn’t the case?
The man did indeed reach out his hand, slowly removing the hood to reveal a pale face with a hint of androgyny, gaunt but with a touch of despair.
"Wang Wei?!" Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi exclaimed simultaneously, their gazes filled with shock.
Wang Wei, the one who spread rumors about Luo Qianqian in middle school, and later, for various reasons, was castrated.
"Haha, surprised to see it’s me?" Wang Wei’s face was full of hatred: "If it weren’t for you, I’d be preparing for college now, right?"
"If heaven commits sin, it can be forgiven; if you bring it on yourself, there’s no salvation." Luo Qianqian felt nothing wrong with this. Although she didn’t instigate it, the man’s self-destructive behavior filled her with deep loathing.
"Hahaha... Right, you have it coming!" Wang Wei laughed exaggeratedly, revealing sharp teeth that no longer resembled those of a human.
Tang Tianyi furrowed his brows: "Is your hatred for her overwhelming even the Evil Spirit?"
"Evil Spirit?" Wang Wei laughed sinisterly: "This is the Holy Lord, who has given me strength, allowing me to take revenge on you!"
Luo Qianqian frowned at him; she had no idea how to handle an Evil Spirit right now.
Besides, Feng Xi was not suited to be exposed in front of Xie Ling, as it might alert the target.
Knowing who it was made it even more tricky, something Luo Qianqian hadn’t anticipated.
However, the title of Holy Lord... really gives off a cultish vibe.
"Luo Qianqian, just wait for death!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Wei turned away and left before they could say anything more, soon driving off in a sports car and disappearing.
Luo Qianqian slightly furrowed her brow: "Is it truly his own consciousness?"
"It should be." Tang Tianyi extended his fingers, contemplating Wang Wei’s situation, then glanced at Luo Qianqian with a hint of surprise.
"He can’t maintain control forever. His consciousness will completely disappear forty-nine days after accepting the Evil Spirit," Tang Tianyi said.
Luo Qianqian’s face was full of oddity: "The question is, how did he do it? He shouldn’t have any abilities; he should be an ordinary person, right?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Indeed, Wang Wei was an ordinary person.
Tang Tianyi looked at his fingers, incredulous.
Not only was he an ordinary person, but to retain consciousness for forty-nine days was unusual, to say the least.
Or was there some reason unknown to them?
But now the person was gone, and no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn’t make sense of it.
They got in the car, and Tang Tianyi arranged to meet the person at their company.
And it was under his personal name.
Stating his name, he successfully reached the eighteenth floor and waited for them in the reception room.
Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi, puzzled: "Why would he meet you?"
"Why? Maybe because I’m handsome." Tang Tianyi rarely made a joke, avoiding the hot coffee on the table.
Luo Qianqian also abstained, clearly thinking it didn’t smell very good.
"The boss invites you both to his office." Before long, a pretty woman came over to call them.
Tang Tianyi nodded, exchanged a glance with Luo Qianqian, and walked side by side with the female secretary to the office.
The general manager of Guangsha was a young man, appearing about thirty, with a playful smile on his face.
"This is Guangsha’s Director Yang Wei." Tang Tianyi whispered to Luo Qianqian, not introducing her to Yang Wei.
"Oh, Mr. Tang, already bringing a lady companion so young? She looks too young, doesn’t she? I’ll introduce you to more alluring girls later." The man raised his eyebrows at Luo Qianqian, full of disdain.
Tang Tianyi smiled, winked at Luo Qianqian to indicate not to take offense, then turned to the man: "Thank you for your kind offer, Director Yang, but I think she’s great. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be abroad."
Yang Wei squinted, face serious, scrutinizing Luo Qianqian but couldn’t quite place who she was.
Yet, this Tang Tianyi was the young talent his father said they must win over and couldn’t afford to offend.
But in the local high society, he’s seen virtually ninety percent of the eminent women. Those he’s never seen are either too young or already married, not attending banquets and such.
Luo Qianqian’s age should be one to show off when brought out, right?
Her looks were outstanding, and her demeanor suggested elegance.
Yang Wei found it hard to believe this person wasn’t part of the upper society.
In this city, Luo Qianqian genuinely wasn’t.
She could barely count as Miss Sun of the Luo Family in the Capital City, having appeared within the circles a few times and was known due to a past engagement.
In this city, her mother was just an ordinary housewife, and her stepfather was a small businessman, not considered part of the upper echelon.
Luo Qianqian didn’t mind Yang Wei’s words; she was curious to see if Tang Tianyi could remain true to himself amidst beautiful women.
"Haha, I was presumptuous. May I know this young lady’s name..."
"Just call her the future Lady Tang." Tang Tianyi interrupted Yang Wei, with a face of calm composure.
Yet, Luo Qianqian found it hard to control the twitching of her lips.
Lady Tang, my foot! Future Lady? Who’s calling themselves the future? Future Lady Tang? Who is Tang Future?
"Mr. Tang, you’re quite humorous." Yang Wei smiled, but a hint of doubt crossed his eyes. They wouldn’t even share her last name?
Just how mysterious is this girl’s identity?
