Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 892: Letting Things Fall Apart

"When did you terminate the contract with Qin Technology Group?" Lu Jing watched her send out that contract without delay, then grabbed her wrist and asked, lowering his gaze.

"Are you no longer helping Qin Nanyu?"

Lu Jing’s gaze was eager.

"Leng Jian helped me get the contract. I haven’t completely severed ties with Qin Technology Group; I’m still a member of the lab. But from a legal standpoint, I’m no longer part of Qin Technology Group, and I haven’t signed any confidentiality agreement, so all those accusations Lu Xiao made are unfounded."

Zhang Lingying had Leng Jian deliver the contract ahead of time, anticipating Lu Xiao’s subsequent actions.

By sending out the contract now and declaring that her cooperation with Qin Technology Group is currently over, she could silence everyone.

As for whether she’ll continue collaborating with Qin Technology Group in the future, that’s nobody’s business.

Zhang Lingying’s series of moves highlighted her "I’m bold enough to be willful" attitude, leaving Lu Xiao with no ground for accusations.

Lu Xiao probably fainted out of rage upon seeing this contract.

As for Lu Jing...

Zhang Lingying poked his shoulder, reminding him, "Have your PR colleagues issue a statement saying we’re just ordinary friends, and you moved into my place only because my cooperation with Qin Technology Group ended, and I’m conveniently free to take care of you."

"I’m not someone who easily lets others take care of me, and it’s not that easy to fool the netizens." Lu Jing grumbled and mumbled a few things that Zhang Lingying didn’t catch.

She was busy replying to Leng Jian’s messages, telling Leng Jian she had made the statement, and also informed Qin Nanyu briefly.

After all, if it weren’t for Qin Nanyu’s assistance, Qin Technology Group wouldn’t have been so accommodating.

Come to think of it, she seemed to owe Qin Nanyu a big favor, and would have to consider how to repay him...

When Zhang Lingying snapped back to reality, she found Lu Jing staring at her intently, his brows furrowed, asking, "Did you call someone at Re Group to issue the clarification statement?"

"No."

Lu Jing lay back on the sofa, adopting a ’giving up on everything’ posture, coldly reminded her, "No one would leave the hospital while sick, avoiding professional treatment, and instead move to an ordinary friend’s house."

Zhang Lingying: "You."

Lu Jing: "..."

How could he make her understand that he never saw her as just an ordinary friend?

From the very start, he approached her with ulterior motives, but this wasn’t something he could proudly say out loud.

Lu Jing was faced with the biggest dilemma of his life.

In the end, he could only sulkily ask, "Are you that afraid of being associated with me?"

"Not really." Zhang Lingying patted his head as if petting a dog.

"After spending some time with you, I feel you’re not quite like the rumors outside. It’s not that I dislike you, but I believe the public has the right to know the truth. We can’t keep trying to lessen the impact by fabricating false facts. Lies are still lies, and like Lu Xiao, the self-created entrapment often ends miserably. I say this for your own good."

Lu Jing: "I don’t care."

"That’s still not acceptable." Zhang Lingying was quite resolute.

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, pinpointed the heart of the issue, sat up from the sofa, his enchanting pupils fixated upon her, "But what if what we’re saying isn’t a lie, but the truth? Would you then accept it?"
