Chapter 752 - 748
At Bai’s Group, Xue Man, who had just returned from patrolling Tianhe Resort, sat in her office. Out of habit, she clicked on a news website she frequented. Her expression suddenly froze, her mouth slightly open, stunned as she stared at a photograph on the computer screen—a cozy shot of Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing together, her pretty face showing disbelief and shock.
What on earth was going on? She had been away from Bai’s Group for only a few hours—how had everything changed so quickly?
Wasn’t Lu Tianxing the boyfriend of her best friend, Lin Qianru? How had he suddenly become Bai Zhiqing’s husband? Was she still half-asleep, or was the world changing too rapidly for her to keep up?
Xue Man scrolled through the photographs, filled with doubt. She couldn’t understand how Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing could possibly be husband and wife; their personalities were far too different. No matter how low Bai Zhiqing’s standards might be, she couldn’t possibly fancy a notorious womanizer like him.
Could it be fake?
A thought flickered through Xue Man’s mind, but she immediately shook her head. It couldn’t be fake—the photographs didn’t lie. She knew Bai Zhiqing. She knew her character. Bai Zhiqing would never hug Lu Tianxing’s arm so intimately for no reason. More importantly, the joyful smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face couldn’t possibly be feigned; it was entirely heartfelt. Once, when she was younger, she had seen the same smile on her mother’s face when looking at her father. There was no difference at all.
If Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were married, what about Lin Qianru? Could it mean that Lu Tianxing’s relationship with Lin Qianru had been just a fling, without any real feelings involved?
The moment this idea came to her, Xue Man’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. Without any hesitation, she stood up from her desk. She had to confront Lu Tianxing and demand the truth. If Bai Zhiqing was his wife, what about Lin Qianru? Was he going to abandon her after leading her on? If that was the case, she would have to seek justice for her best friend.
However, Xue Man didn’t notice that as her eyes passed over those photographs, a pang of discomfort surged within her—a feeling she herself had not perceived, believing it was merely sympathy for Lin Qianru’s predicament.
