Chapter 1427: The Blackened Good Girl (62)

The university Tang Guo attended happened to be in the same city as the Lu family. It was one of the nation's top universities.

Of course, she could have chosen another school that was just as prestigious, or even better.

But from the original host's wishes, she had seen that attending this university had always been one of her dreams.

Naturally, she intended to fulfill that small wish.

Ever since the system had informed that Young Master Lu that Lu Jing was no ordinary person and that even the slightest opportunity might allow him to rise to prominence, the man had stopped underestimating Lu Jing. He began targeting him in secret and even recruited many accomplices.

As expected, things no longer went smoothly for Lu Jing. He barely had any opportunities to prove himself.

Worse, through that young master's schemes, Lu Jing gradually came to be viewed by Father Lu as useless mud that could never stick to the wall.

Father Lu's disappointment, reproach, and indifference extinguished the little hope Lu Jing had once held.

Once no one encourages a person and no one is willing to believe in his abilities, that person is bound to sink into despair.

The most effective way to destroy someone is to shatter their confidence, crush their beliefs, and destroy all their hope.

Make them feel the coldness of the entire world, hearing day after day that everyone doubts them and believes they are worthless.

Even the most outstanding person would have a ninety-nine percent chance of falling into ruin and never daring to hope again.

If Wu Lingling had not been a little delinquent but instead a kind, cheerful, innocent girl full of positivity, perhaps she could have pulled Lu Jing out of the mire.

Unfortunately, she wasn't. Compared to Lu Jing, she had fallen even deeper.

Lu Jing worked like a dog every day. Yet when he returned home, he still had to endure Wu Lingling's temper. The only warmth left in his life came from his mother.

But after seeing his repeated failures, even his mother's eyes had become filled with sorrow and disappointment.

Thus, the only place that had once offered him warmth could no longer do so.

Lu Jing had already begun to wonder whether he simply lacked ability, whether no matter what he did, he could never do it right.

Seeing Lu Jing's miserable state, that Young Master Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, it wasn't over yet.

Wasn't there still Wu Lingling, that chess piece waiting to be used?

They didn't choose to directly show those photos to Lu Jing.

Instead, while Lu Jing was busy during the day, Brother Dao invited Wu Lingling out for some fun.

Casually, he leaked some information about Lu Jing, causing Wu Lingling's expression to change dramatically.

"Brother Dao, you're joking, right?"

"How could I be joking? I have friends working at the Lu Corporation. The wives of the Lu family's young masters are bound to come from their social circle. Besides, Lu Jing's performance has been pretty good. Quite a few wealthy young ladies have already set their sights on him."

Wu Lingling panicked.

Now nearly twenty years old, Lu Jing had grown more and more handsome.

Whenever he wore that perfectly tailored suit, she found herself captivated.

She liked Lu Jing. First, because of his money. Second, because of his handsome face. Third, because he obeyed her in everything.

She completely believed that many girls would fall for him.

She had always regarded Lu Jing as her possession, something that belonged to her forever.

Now, hearing Brother Dao's words, she became extremely flustered.

"Lu Jing loves me. He'll never fall for those women."
