Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 677: A Chance Encounter with Lu Ling
Just as she was leaving work and getting ready to go home, Lu Ling suddenly heard a woman looking for Mu Qiancheng, thinking it was Jiang Xue, so she stopped in her tracks.
When she saw it wasn’t Jiang Xue but a stranger, relying on her woman’s intuition, Lu Ling felt there was a good show to watch.
So, she stepped forward and started a conversation with Cheng Li.
"Hello, I just heard you’re looking for Mu Qiancheng. May I ask who you are to him?" Lu Ling wore a smile that made people feel very pleasant.
Cheng Li naturally didn’t know about the history between Lu Ling and Mu Qiancheng, nor did she know that Lu Ling, like herself, was once an admirer of Mu Qiancheng. Seeing her friendly demeanor, Cheng Li let her guard down and replied immediately, "I’m an old town friend of Mu Qiancheng. We’re from the same town, you could say we grew up as childhood sweethearts."
As Cheng Li spoke, her face blushed, showing a shy demeanor. She said it deliberately, to give others an initial impression.
She knew that although Jiang Xue is Mu Qiancheng’s wife, she had never visited here. One reason was that Jiang Xue didn’t want to trouble Mu Qiancheng, and another was that Jiang Xue trusted Mu Qiancheng so much that she felt there was no need to visit his workplace.
Upon hearing that Cheng Li was Mu Qiancheng’s childhood sweetheart, Lu Ling immediately felt uncomfortable. However, remembering that she wasn’t Mu Qiancheng’s wife, Jiang Xue was, she felt better.
Moreover, she saw that Cheng Li also seemed to have feelings for Mu Qiancheng, and a thought suddenly occurred to her. She feared Jiang Xue and didn’t dare provoke her again, but what if someone else did?
Moreover, an enemy of an enemy is a friend. Clearly, this woman was more of an enemy to Jiang Xue. With this in mind, Lu Ling’s smile became even more amiable. She held Cheng Li’s hand and said, "Cheng Li, since we hit it off so well upon first meeting, how about I take you to find Mu Qiancheng?"
Finding someone was just an excuse; gathering information was the real reason. She wanted to learn from Cheng Li certain things about Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue to deal with them at the right moment.
Of course, now wasn’t the time; she had no assistance, and Jiang Xue had learned some sorcery from somewhere, making her hard to fight against.
But just because she couldn’t fight now didn’t mean she couldn’t in the future. Moreover, she’s planning to change her tactics. She can’t confront Jiang Xue and the others head-on, but she can try other methods, like rumors.
As the saying goes, "Many mouths will burn gold, continuous rumors will destroy bones." When enough people talk, even lies become truth, and at that time, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue will have a hard time defending themselves. Isn’t that a kind of revenge?
Cheng Li had no idea of Lu Ling’s scheming. Hearing Lu Ling offer to take her to Mu Qiancheng, she immediately felt more goodwill toward her and asked, "May I know how to address you?"
The word ’leader’ successfully pleased Lu Ling, putting her in a good mood, and she started to like Cheng Li, this woman who appeared out of nowhere, more and more.
"Don’t call me leader, I’m called Lu Ling, you can just call me Lu Ling in the future." Lu Ling replied with a smile, and Cheng Li, being quick to respond, said, "Hello Lu Ling, I’m Cheng Li, you can call me Cheng Li, or you can call me Xiao Li."
"Then I’ll call you Xiao Li." Lu Ling smiled too and said, "Xiao Li, although this is our first meeting, I feel as if we’ve known each other for a long time. There’s a special sense of closeness, like sisters, don’t you think?"
