I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!
Chapter 17 Even if he turned to ashes, we would still recognize him
Lin Tingran panicked instantly.
That day, she ran into Lu Chen in the hallway when she returned from the workshop. Just as she was about to open the door, she saw Jiang Xuxu making coffee in the tea room.
So, she had a sudden inspiration and deliberately provoked Lu Chen to show Jiang Xuxu that he would talk nonsense when he lost control.
Seven years had passed, and she didn't want to wait any longer, otherwise her parents would force her to go home and fulfill her marriage agreement with her poor fiancé.
Originally, she wanted to slowly let Jiang Xuxu discover Lu Chen's "true colors" and give up, because she knew her best friend too well.
Even if they knew there were people outside Lu Chen, they wouldn't make a big fuss.
Because she was anonymous and had social shame.
Despite her humor and wit in private, and her strong opinions when alone, she is very easily morally manipulated.
Lin Tingran was certain that she would quietly withdraw, which is why she wanted to make the relationship clear.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened, completely disrupting her plans.
"Xuxu, what...do you mean by saying that?" she asked tentatively.
"It doesn't mean anything. I just feel that I was too stupid in the past, so stupid that I was kept in the dark and even acted as a matchmaker for others."
The implication of these words couldn't be clearer.
Ever since she excitedly told Lin Tingran that she had someone she liked during her freshman year of college, Lin Tingran had been clamoring to see what kind of boy she would like.
Without much thought, Jiang Xuxu took the initiative to introduce them.
However, upon meeting, Lin Tingran displayed an arrogant attitude, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Chen.
"Xuxu. The male god you're talking about... is it him?"
Lin Tingran scrutinized Lu Chen from head to toe for a long time, uttering words of disdain, but her gaze never left Lu Chen for a moment.
Lu Chen's looks, while not a perfect 10, are at least a 7 or 8 out of 10. He was a campus heartthrob in school.
It's not as bad as Lin Tingran said, that his eyes aren't eyes, his nose isn't a nose, and he's completely unworthy of Jiang Xuxu.
At the time, she thought her best friend was just looking out for her, which was why she made things difficult for Lu Chen in front of her.
Ke Lin Tingran is known for her obedient and easy-going image.
This was the first time Jiang Xuxu had ever heard her belittle and insult someone like this.
In the years that followed, no matter where Jiang Xuxu went or who she was with, Lin Tingran would always ask her.
If it were just her alone, that would be one thing.
If she's with someone else, she'll repeatedly ask if she and Lu Chen secretly went on a date.
"Xuxu, don't be fooled by his appearance. This man looks dishonest and will have no shortage of female admirers. If you're with him, you'll be catching him cheating all the time..."
This was the most frequent piece of advice Jiang Xuxu heard from Lin Tingran.
Therefore, every time Jiang Xuxu and Lu Chen went out, Lin Tingran had to accompany them to protect them, and she would always interrupt and argue with Lu Chen.
Later, in order to ease the tension between the two, Jiang Xuxu often took them out for walks together.
Lin Tingran's family is very wealthy. The young lady felt that it was boring to always play near the school, so she tried various ways to take Jiang Xuxu and Lu Chen on trips.
It's not that this friend gave me a free seven-day trip ticket, or that relative sent me an invitation.
When booking the room, Lin Tingran insisted on booking a room for Lu Chen that was far away from them, saying that she didn't want to sleep next to Lu Chen and was afraid of having nightmares at night!
In the past, whenever she went out with Jiang Xuxu, the two of them would stay in the same room, but when Lu Chen was around, she refused to stay in the same room even once.
He insisted on living next door to Jiang Xuxu, separate from her.
"It's free anyway, might as well stay!"
Because I always stay at the same hotels, the room quality is average and the soundproofing is very poor.
Several times in the middle of the night, Jiang Xuxu was woken up by noises from next door. When she called Lin Tingran to ask, Lin Tingran said that she was watching a movie and eating spicy snacks.
Jiang Xuxu couldn't sleep well all night.
The next day, everyone went back to sleep, but Lin Tingran reluctantly led Lu Chen out to take photos.
When she got back, Lin Tingran kept complaining to Jiang Xuxu that she wouldn't do such hard labor again.
But every time Jiang Xuxu and Lu Chen went out, Lin Tingran would run into them.
Jiang Xuxu used to think it was a coincidence, but now she realizes it was just a series of carefully planned trips between three people.
Lin Tingran continued to play dumb, her tone playful: "I told you long ago that Lu Chen was unreliable, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you finally see his true colors, don't you?"
Since she wanted to pretend, Jiang Xuxu would play along.
She feigned regret and said, "Actually... I didn't intend to ruin his reputation."
Lin Tingran had been missing for the past few days, and Lu Chen rushed to find her as soon as the accident happened.
Jiang Xuxu wouldn't believe it if she said she didn't come because of Lu Chen.
"Xuxu, you don't still love him, do you? Lu Chen deserved it! If I hadn't been away from the company these past two days, I would have beaten him to a pulp to avenge you!"
Lin Tingran spoke with an air of seriousness, as if she were an outsider.
Jiang Xuxu's gaze fell on her hand, on a two-carat ring.
"Are you engaged?" Jiang Xuxu asked.
Lin Tingran was taken aback for a moment, then noticed that her gaze was fixed on the ring on her ring finger, and gave an awkward smile.
She then gently took it off, saying, "It was arranged by my family, but I... haven't thought about it yet."
Jiang Xuxu had seen this ring before; she had found it in Lu Chen's coat half a month ago when she went to his house to wash his clothes.
At the time, she thought Lu Chen was going to propose to her, and she was overjoyed.
It turns out that what he said to Lin Tingran was true; they were planning to get married.
"When Lu Chen came to my house, you happened to be on leave. I heard you came back together?"
Jiang Xuxu deliberately tricked her.
"No, no, no, it was just a coincidence. Xuxu, I... Lu Chen... no... I only found out he was on that flight when I got off the plane. Don't misunderstand."
Jiang Xuxu chuckled.
She looked into Lin Tingran's eyes and scrutinized her, saying, "What are you thinking? I could doubt every woman in the world, but I would never misunderstand you, my best friend!"
Lin Tingran gave an awkward smile and unconsciously brushed the hair behind her ear as she lowered her head to drink water.
This action, however, provided Jiang Xuxu with further solid evidence of their affair.
The earrings Lin Tingran was wearing at that moment were the same style she had chosen three years ago when Jiang Xuxu led her to the mall to buy clothes for her.
She used all her scholarship money to buy clothes for Lu Chen, and didn't buy any for herself, but he bought them for Lin Tingran.
"Actually, I've known for a long time that Lu Chen has other women outside," Jiang Xuxu suddenly said.
"Wh-what?" Lin Tingran feigned surprise.
That day, Jiang Xuxu didn't see the woman in Lu Chen's arms, but she judged from her dress that it was Lin Tingran.
But her voice doesn't lie.
Five days ago, I saw him embracing a woman intimately through the back door of the break room.
At this moment, Lin Tingran was inwardly lamenting, wishing she hadn't been so foolish as to deliberately attract Jiang Xuxu's attention that day.
The road is now submerged and unusable.
She doesn't want to lose Jiang Xuxu, her biggest nemesis, right now, since whether her painting can win first place depends on her help.
"Xuxu, did you... see who that woman was?" she asked cautiously.
Jiang Xuxu chuckled softly, looking directly at Lin Tingran, and said, "Of course, I'd recognize her even if she were ashes."
"Really?" Lin Tingran's palms were sweating with fright.
She wanted to explain herself, but her phone suddenly rang.
