Chapter 744: Chapter 42: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Abused Heroine

"You guys really don’t worry about anything, do you?"

Little Buding watched Jiang Lai buy a bag and reminded him sourly.

Jiang Lai was posing in front of the mirror and asked casually.

"What is it?"

"You left your brother and the heroine alone at home."

The house next door hasn’t been furnished, so Lu Zhixing usually stays in the guest room at Jiang Lai’s home.

Anyway, the house is big, and there are many bedrooms. Cai Xian rarely comes back, so Lu Zhixing simply found someone to convert the storage room next to Jiang Lai’s bedroom into his office study.

When Jiang Lai and Luo Susa went out shopping, Lu Zhixing had already returned to the house to hold a phone meeting.

He originally planned to go out shopping with them, but unfortunately, the general manager was busy as soon as he said so. Billion-dollar cooperation can’t wait for anyone, so Lu Zhixing could only stay put for the meeting.

Jiang Lai continued to pose for photos, completely indifferent.

"And then?"

"Aren’t you afraid you’ll gain a sister-in-law?"

"Oh, if I gain one, I gain one. It’s just as well my sister-in-law just ran off."

In terms of mentality, Jiang Lai had never lost to anyone.

Little Buding clapped his hands.

"Impressive, when the heroine succeeds, let’s see who you’ll rely on."

"Firstly, whether Zhao Zhaozhao can succeed is another matter. After all, Lu Zhixing has quite high standards.

Secondly, who I rely on isn’t Lu Zhixing. Don’t forget, the real decision-makers in the company now are Lu Tingshen and Luo Susa.

It’s enough for me to depend on them."

Not a shred of dignity, happily living off one’s parents.

"In real life, you’d be despised for that."

"Sorry, I’m no longer an eighteen-year-old girl fresh out of school.

I have plenty of opportunities to be self-reliant, but not many chances to enjoy living off others.

Why should I still work hard since our family has so much money?

Little Buding, you wouldn’t understand the lives of people like us. Our money can last several generations, and being jealous won’t help."

"..."

This really hit a sore spot for Little Buding.

He couldn’t believe there were people who could enjoy life without labor, people who could live lavishly without ever working.

So he comforted himself, saying this was all fake, merely a virtual world; such enviable, jealousy-inducing wealthy second generations couldn’t possibly exist in the real world.

Jiang Lai was kind, never bursting Little Buding’s stubborn self-deception.

While trying a bag, a young girl in the store kept glancing at her, her eyes curious and nervous. Finally, after Jiang Lai sat down, the girl mustered the courage to approach and ask.

"Excuse me, are you the... incredibly popular rich lady on the internet?"

"Online? Am I really that popular?"

"Yes, you are super popular! Beautiful and rich; many people are using your high school photos as their profile pictures! Look, even someone in my circle has used it."

Jiang Lai took a glance.

The photo was indeed of the original owner from high school, looking pure and sunny. No wonder so many people liked it.

"Can I take a picture with you?"

"Sure, Mom, come here and help us take a photo!"

Luo Susa kindly took the phone to snap a picture for the two.

"I wanted to ask, where did that photo come from? I want to check it out too."

"Oh, I remember it was in a post. Let me search for it...Yes, this is it. Someone secretly posted your photo shopping for a bag online, and people started commenting below...

Those people are talking nonsense; Auntie, with such a great aura, couldn’t possibly be doing those things!"

The young girl seemed like a carefree wealthy second generation, speaking bluntly.

Jiang Lai didn’t mind, only quietly glanced at the account nickname.

Zhaobao’er must be happy forever.

This nickname was so familiar that Jiang Lai could instantly guess who it was.

With such beautiful hopes for the future and calling oneself Zhaobao’er, besides Zhao Zhaozhao, there wasn’t anyone else.

Upon entering the homepage, there were no traces left.

"Initially, this comment was deleted! But later on, somehow it appeared in the background again."

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, it appeared again..."

At this moment, Little Buding lowered his voice and pretended to sound profound.

"Guess who helped you restore this comment."

"Why guess? It’s definitely our technologically advanced, righteous, willing to go to great lengths for friends, President Ding!

President Ding, thank you."

Jiang Lai was so experienced in flattering Little Buding that he could write a book about it.

Little Buding held back his laughter.

"Enough, that’s enough. I really didn’t expect my image in your eyes to be so grand.

Hey, next time something happens, just let me know, I’ll definitely help!"

"President Ding is mighty."

Jiang Lai, unfazed, took out his phone, opened the comment screenshot, saved it, then sent it to Lu Zhixing.

"Brother, this person is defaming me. The comment has been shared, forwarded, and liked tens of thousands of times."

Lu Zhixing, who was in a video conference, immediately heard the special alert tone.

"Sorry to interrupt, I need to check an important email."

Suspending the meeting temporarily, Lu Zhixing carefully reviewed what Jiang Lai sent.

Seeing those people guessing about Jiang Lai casually, and the malicious evaluation by the poster, Lu Zhixing’s gaze under the lens turned cold.

His fingertips quickly passed this on to the company’s chief legal officer.

"Sue the person who defamed my sister quickly, use all your skills, and I’ll double your bonus at the end of the year."

The chief legal officer, who had taken a vacation for the Maldives, immediately swam back upon seeing the last sentence.

The family was a bit curious and puzzled.

"What’s the rush? Did something happen with the company?"

"Good news, you guys keep playing, I’m going back to make money."

"Making money? What are you talking about? How long has it been since our family went on a trip together? You still think about making money in such valuable times! Are you obsessed with money!

Money can’t be earned in a day or two, no matter how good your boss is to you, you shouldn’t go all out. These times with family are too precious..."

"You know about the holiday villa we fancy back home, right? If I take down the opponent in this case, we can afford it."

"Don’t change clothes, don’t waste time, quickly book the next available flight back."

——

After the message was sent, Lu Zhixing received a photo from the chief legal officer boarding the plane.

"Boss, I’ll be there soon."

At this moment, there was a knock on the study room door.

Very polite, after three knocks, waited a while, then spoke.

"Mr. Lu, someone is knocking at the door outside."

Lu Zhixing glanced at the screen and then got up to open the door.

Zhao Zhaozhao stood by the door wearing a pink and white loungewear, with a pink hairband on her head.

That was Jiang Lai’s.

That little girl just loved those pink little things.

He shifted his gaze, walked to the door.
