Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

Lin Wei, after all, came from a military background. Although her academic performance was quite good in her early years, she had long forgotten most of that knowledge.

Furthermore, the management model of the group company is completely different from that of the military; even if she were to manage it, she wouldn't be able to.

She served as Qin Qingcheng's assistant and became her best friend. Over the past few years, she has also been helping her to keep track of and collect information about Luo Lingtian.

Well, aside from the fact that he accidentally saved Old Master Qin back then, in her eyes over the years, Luo Lingtian was just an ordinary rich young master from a fairly good family.

His character is neither particularly good nor bad; he falls into the category of a normal person.

To be honest, she felt that the other party was not good enough for her young lady. Moreover, she had always known that Qin Qingcheng herself was dissatisfied with the engagement and had even asked Old Master Qin to cancel it, but was sternly rejected.

Originally, she thought that Qin Qingcheng would cancel the engagement herself during this trip to Haishi, but looking at the longing and smiling expression on her face, it all seemed so unreal.

Could it be that our young lady has been possessed? Or has her mind been controlled?

"Alright, go and get ready."

While Lin Wei was lost in thought, Qin Qingcheng had already finished reviewing the documents and signed them, interrupting her reverie.

"By the way, there's no need to prepare accommodation in Haishi. After we get off the plane, we'll go straight to Lingtian Manor."

"..." Lin Wei paused slightly while packing the documents, then quickly left, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Even if that Luo Lingtian really had some outstanding qualities that I didn't know about, Miss, isn't this progress a little too fast?

Although she had always been responsible for helping Qin Qingcheng gather information and intelligence, she was not naive enough to think that Qin Qingcheng only had her as a source of intelligence.

This sudden change in the other party might be because she learned some information that she didn't know, and saw the man's excellent qualities, so she was no longer resistant.

But things are progressing too fast!

······

"Feed? I'm Luo Lingtian, who is this?"

After Lin Wei left, Qin Qingcheng pondered for a moment, then took out the latest Orange phone. Looking at the orange logo cut in half on the screen, a strange smile appeared on Qin Qingcheng's lips: "Who would have thought that Orange, the biggest brand of smartphones in China, would be developed by a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy from a third-rate wealthy family in Shanghai?"

A moment later, she dialed a number that she had saved in her phone contacts but had not saved a note for.

"I am Qin Qingcheng!" A clear and melodious female voice came through the microphone, causing Luo Lingtian, who was playing a game, to pause and his playful expression to disappear.

"So it's Miss Qin. Why are you calling me so suddenly? Is it to discuss our engagement?"

The cynical words reached Qin Qingcheng's ears, causing her to become somewhat dazed.

"That's right. I've already booked a flight for this afternoon, and I'll arrive in Haishi around 7 p.m.

"Arriving tonight?" Luo Lingtian was slightly surprised, then joked, "So, Miss Qin notified me that you want me to pick her up at the airport? And you've already reached a decision tonight?"

This was a reasonable reason in Luo Lingtian's opinion. Otherwise, given Qin Qingcheng's attitude towards this engagement, if she wasn't in a hurry to resolve the engagement between the two of them, she certainly wouldn't have informed him when she came to Haishi.

"That's exactly what I meant." On the other end of the phone, Qin Qingcheng's lips curled into a playful smile: "Your fiancée is coming to see you, so it's only right that you come to pick her up at the airport."

Besides, I'm your fiancée. Shouldn't you host a welcome dinner for me and arrange a room for me when I go to your place?"

"Well... of course, I'll definitely treat my fiancée well when she comes, but what about the room she'll be staying in?"

"Giggle." She covered her mouth and chuckled, clearly noticing the sluggishness in Luo Lingtian's voice on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that the other party was a little confused at the moment.

"What, does Lingtian Manor not have any spare rooms for your fiancée to live in?"

The Lingtian Manor is so big, don't tell me it's full. Did you secretly keep a mistress, a second mistress, or a third mistress in the manor behind my back?

"Fiancé, Lingtian Manor is our future home. We're not even married yet, and I haven't lived there for a single day. Isn't what you're doing inappropriate?"

With a bright smile on her lips, Qin Qingcheng spoke in a serious tone.

"How is that possible? Apart from the servants I hire, I have always lived alone in Lingtian Manor. Where would a mistress, a fourth mistress, or a fifth mistress come from?"

Besides, with a fiancée as beautiful as you, why would I even look at other women?

Luo Lingtian raised his voice a few decibels, seemingly to increase the credibility of his words. At the same time, he was surprised, wondering why this Qin Qingcheng was different from the information he had investigated.

Could it be that the caller wasn't Qin Qingcheng? He took the phone away from his ear and carefully examined the number. Yes, it was her number.

Could someone else be using her phone to call me?

The chances of my phone being stolen are slim, after all, would the thief just happen to be a woman? And just happen to know that I'm engaged to the owner of the phone?

I don't understand, but we'll meet tonight, so we'll see then.

Hearing Luo Lingtian's words, which seemed to be eager to prove himself, Qin Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly, but she was actually quite pleased. She immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I know. I was just joking. Well then, fiancé, see you tonight!"

After saying goodbye, Qin Qingcheng hung up the phone. The smile on her lips slowly faded, and she gripped the phone tighter and tighter, until her fingertips turned white from the force.

"Luo Lingtian! In this life, I will not miss you again."

Her gentle expression vanished abruptly, her tone turning cold and sharp: "Xiao Chen! In this life, I will make you pay the price!"

She uttered the name through gritted teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with rage, as if she were recalling the tragedy of her previous life!

Qin Qingcheng held her phone in her palm and entered a nickname for the unnamed string of numbers: "Fiancé".

The summer breeze, carrying the dampness of the lotus pond, drifted in, gently turning the pages of the documents on the stone table, and also opening the floodgates of her memories—those truths sealed away by the "protagonist's halo," those cruel realities that were only torn open at the end of the previous life, were now surging up in a dense stream.

The scene from her previous life replayed sharply in her mind: Old Master Qin placed Luo Lingtian's photo in front of her and said earnestly, "This child has deep eyes and is capable of handling things. I feel at ease entrusting you to him."

At the time, she didn't really care. Although she wasn't happy about it, her grandfather had doted on her since she was a child. She was the only girl in three generations of the Qin family, and he gave her almost all his love.

She trusted her grandfather's judgment. Besides, she was the Qin family's little princess, already possessing an extremely noble status. No matter what her partner's status was, it wouldn't make her any more noble.

Therefore, neither she nor the rest of the Qin family had high requirements for the identity of her partner.

Whether they come from wealthy families or are ordinary people, as long as they are genuinely good to Qin Qingcheng and have a decent character, that's enough.

Of course, for Qin Qingcheng, there was another condition: she had to find the person pleasing to the eye.

Undoubtedly, Luo Lingtian's appearance met her requirements; he was pleasing to the eye!

Therefore, regardless of her past or present life, although she was not particularly satisfied with Luo Lingtian as her fiancé, after all, apart from the time he saved her grandfather, he had always seemed quite mediocre.

After her request to the old man to dissolve the engagement failed, she felt that the other party might have good qualities that she did not know about. So, in her previous life, she also went to Haishi in the past few days. However, her purpose in going was not to dissolve the engagement, but simply to get to know her future fiancé.

After all, information is just information; true character can only be determined through close contact.

Who could have imagined that this journey would lead her down a path of no return, and ultimately cause the decline of the Qin family?

Although Luo Lingtian orchestrated the Qin family's downfall in her previous life, she did not resent him.

Why?

That was until the final showdown between Xiao Chen and Luo Lingtian broke out at the Haishi Wharf, when the Dragon King Palace's conspiracy was completely exposed, and Xiao Chen was struck through the heart by Luo Lingtian's palm and fell into a pool of blood. At that moment, the "protagonist halo" that had haunted her for nearly ten years suddenly dissipated.

She stood in the chaotic crowd, as if she had suddenly woken up from an absurd dream, and those distorted perceptions and concealed emotions suddenly became terrifyingly clear.

Reflecting on her actions over this period, she realized that it wasn't her breaking off the engagement that angered Luo Lingtian and led him to target the Qin family. Rather, it was because of Xiao Chen, who repeatedly did things to harm Luo Lingtian, that he retaliated against her and even the Qin family.

At the same time, she realized that she had never disliked Luo Lingtian. On the contrary, she subconsciously admired his forbearance and talent: she admired that he could save Old Master Qin at the age of fifteen, admired that he built Tenglong Technology from scratch, and even admired that he never said a harsh word to her when she made things difficult for him.

But by then it was too late. The Qin family had been emptied out by Xiao Chen, and because of her repeated antics, she had completely offended Luo Lingtian. The family was already teetering on the brink of collapse and finally crumbled.

"Luo Lingtian..."

Qin Qingcheng murmured softly, her fingertips pressed against her chest, where the lingering pain from her suicide in her previous life seemed to still remain.

A breeze carrying the scent of lotus blossoms swept by. She looked up at the distant sunset, its orange-red light falling on the green-tiled rooftops, much like the flames when the Qin family mansion collapsed in her previous life, yet with a touch more vitality—in this life, she had been reborn, and it was not too late for everything.

As her thoughts gradually returned to normal, Qin Qingcheng finally clarified her plans for the future: upon arriving in Haishi, she would directly check into Lingtian Manor.

She already knew about Luo Lingtian's character and personality in her previous life.

Although he is not a man who is devoted to only one woman, he is not a man who has affairs with many women.

If she didn't have memories of her previous life, she might find it hard to accept this, but now she doesn't care too much about it.

After all, in her previous life, until her suicide, Luo Lingtian only had two women by his side.

Compared to Xiao Chen's womanizing ways, he is already a man with great self-control.
