Chapter 490: Scheming Again (Part 2)
Ouyang Yi immediately became anxious, pulled out his phone, and called Lu Ling, only to hear her coldly say, "I’m going for a walk by myself. You go back first. I’ll take a taxi home later."
After saying this, she didn’t wait for Ouyang Yi to reply and directly hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ouyang Yi’s expression turned a bit unpleasant. He was somewhat confused about why Lu Ling was so hot and cold towards him.
Clearly, when he called her to make plans this afternoon, everything was fine, so why did things change once they met? Ouyang Yi felt a bit of a headache, as he had always been invincible in the business field, but with Lu Ling, he repeatedly hit a wall.
Thinking about it like this, Ouyang Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated and lit up a cigarette.
As for Lu Ling, after leaving the hotpot restaurant, she directly called Ming Lan. Meeting Jiang Xue today left an impact on her. She had thought Jiang Xue was just a countryside girl and that Mu Qiancheng was only good to her because she had given birth to his child.
But after seeing her today, Lu Ling realized Jiang Xue, whether in dress or demeanor, did not seem like someone from a rural background.
This made her feel uneasy, even if Ouyang Yi told her he was already close to Jiang Xue and had a meal with her, she still felt uneasy.
Trusting her woman’s intuition, she felt things might not go too smoothly for Ouyang Yi.
Moreover, in the previous conflict, she did not gain any advantage.
After Ming Lan received Lu Ling’s call, she directly came over to meet her. The two sat down, and Lu Ling shared her encounter with Jiang Xue and her concerns.
"Miss Ming, this Jiang Xue may not fall for our tricks. Shouldn’t we think of another way?" Lu Ling couldn’t help but speak first as she watched Ming Lan staying silent for a long time.
"Miss Lu, don’t worry. In this world, which woman doesn’t love money? No matter how outstanding Mu Qiancheng is, he’s still just a poor soldier. At first, Jiang Xue might endure hardships with him because she hasn’t experienced the good life. But once she tastes the benefits of money, do you think she can go back to living a hard life?"
However, Ming Lan had a different opinion. No matter what, Jiang Xue still came from the countryside, so how much insight could she really have?
It’s not that she looked down on Jiang Xue, but the fact was that people from the countryside don’t have much exposure.
Lu Ling thought for a moment and felt that Ming Lan’s words made sense. It seemed she needed to have a good talk with Ouyang Yi and let him expose Jiang Xue to the life of the wealthy.
Thinking thus, she quickly came up with a plan. If she remembered correctly, the Ou Group hosted a Spring Gala every year.
It seemed that they hadn’t held it yet this year. At that time, she would have Ouyang Yi take Jiang Xue to see what the world of the wealthy was like.
Perhaps, after seeing it, Jiang Xue would change her mind.
Once she had the idea of despising Mu Qiancheng, combined with Ouyang Yi’s efforts, things would proceed as they had planned.
Ming Lan watched Lu Ling in thought and did not disturb her, sipping her drink mindlessly. As long as Lu Ling took in her words, that was enough.
Now, with Gong Hai watching her closely, she was unable to make a move and could only use Lu Ling as her tool. Hopefully, she’s a good tool; otherwise, all her arrangements would be in vain.
Thinking of Gong Hai, Ming Lan’s gaze darkened. Ever since Gong Hai had risked himself for Jiang Xue, his attitude towards her had changed.
A vixen is always a vixen; it seems she could enchant any kind of man, which is truly enviable.
