Chapter 1451: The Blackened Good Girl (86)

That friend told Wu Lingling that if she worked harder and was diligent, she would never starve in today's society.

First, she needed to find a place to stay and stabilize herself before thinking carefully about the future. She was only in her twenties, still young. The future remained unknown, and anything was possible.

In truth, she had once resented Wu Lingling. But Wu Lingling had indeed given her many benefits in the past. Giving her five thousand yuan, offering some advice, and pointing out a path for her to follow would settle everything between them.

Now, she had a husband and a son. Though not wealthy, she regretted the reckless life she had once lived.

Wu Lingling certainly bore responsibility, but the greater responsibility lay with herself—her immaturity, lack of willpower, and confusion had led to this outcome.

Whether Wu Lingling listened or not, after saying her piece, she hung up the phone. It was her way of bidding farewell to her own past.

Her husband knew about her previous experiences and had chosen to forgive her, telling her that as long as she was willing to live a proper life, they could continue together.

She could not lose such hard-earned happiness because of Wu Lingling.

Looking at the five thousand yuan in her account and hearing those words echoing in her ears, Wu Lingling said angrily, “Ungrateful wolves, all of them! When I had money, they all flocked around me. Now that I’ve fallen, every one of them is hiding far away.”

“Not one of them is sincere. Just wait. The day I, Wu Lingling, rise again, don't regret it.”

One day, Tang Guo sat in her office, moving the mouse and shopping online.

Qiao Ge sat beside her, handling company documents.

Occasionally, Tang Guo would get up to brew coffee for him or bring him some snacks.

To make sure he never went hungry, she had even moved an oven into a small room beside the office. Whenever she had time, she would go in and personally bake something.

Qiao Ge felt that although he was busy every day, he was surrounded by happiness.

Coffee made by his wife, homemade cookies baked by her own hands, and fruit personally fed to him by her—it was a life so blissful he could hardly ask for more.

Suddenly, the System reminded Tang Guo.

Host, Wu Lingling has become a hostess at a nightclub. Since she's pretty, she's working at a high-end place and plans to catch herself a quality man. I just heard her muttering in the restroom that she wants Lu Jing to regret abandoning her.

“Oh.”

Tang Guo merely replied and paid it no further attention.

The System knew that if Wu Lingling was doing poorly, his host's mood would certainly not be bad.

Another day, the System said, Host, Wu Lingling has successfully become the woman of a wealthy boss. She's in the same mall as you right now. If you walk straight ahead, you'll probably run into her.

Tang Guo was linking arms with Qiao Ge, planning to pick out some clothes for him.

She had not expected to run into Wu Lingling here.

Before she could even take a step, Wu Lingling had already appeared before her.

Dressed provocatively and revealingly, Wu Lingling was being embraced around the waist by a pot-bellied, big-eared man. When they were still three meters away, she spotted Tang Guo.

Tang Guo remained where she was, and the two looked at each other.

Seeing Tang Guo, whose makeup was light and whose temperament remained as pure and immaculate as ever, Wu Lingling's expression changed instantly.

She sweetly cooed to the man beside her, “Brother Chen, shall we go look over there instead?”

She didn't want to see Tang Guo.

Not unless one day she could surpass her.

The boss had already noticed Tang Guo.

A broad smile immediately spread across his face.
