During dinner, Zhu Chongyan kept stealing glances at Zhu Han. After a few minutes, Zhu Han spoke first, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that, I'll get the wrong idea."
"What wrong idea?"
"That you like me and are hinting at something."
Zhu Chongyan: "...Narcissist."
He lowered his head and ate a little, but couldn't help himself in the end. "The trending searches, was that you? Thank you."
"No need." Zhu Han helped himself to a bowl of congee. "Your sister's matter, that was her doing, right?"
"Mm."
He sounded a little upset. "My sister said some things, and her suicide note. It was all that woman's doing. She's incredibly wicked."
The Zhu Chongyan of this world, before his blackening, was obedient and soft-spoken. He wouldn't curse at anyone. "Incredibly wicked" was probably the harshest sentence he could use to describe that woman.
But in reality, that woman was more than just wicked.
She was as cruel as a snake and as venomous as a scorpion!
Cheng Yingxin was the transmigration female lead of this world, but her method of transmigration was rather peculiar. The two worlds had many similarities, like parallel worlds, with a few years' difference.
In her original world, she also had heart disease. Due to poor family conditions, she could only afford cheap medication to stabilize her condition. Her family was trying to earn money for her treatment and find a suitable heart, but because of her rare blood type, they couldn't find a match.
By chance, she discovered her mother had the same blood type as her. After a "painful" struggle, she decided to take her mother's heart.
She felt that her parents had given birth to her, causing her to have heart disease, suffer immensely, and not live past twenty-five. She was unwilling. They should be responsible for her life. Her mother saving her daughter was only natural!
However, because she was too hasty and her method of murder was too foolish, the "killer" she hired not only failed to kill her mother but was apprehended. The police easily found her based on the clues provided by the killer.
Her parents were disappointed in her. Although they didn't prosecute her, they no longer wanted anything to do with her. They paid for some of her hospital expenses and left.
She waited for death to claim her in the hospital day after day.
In the days leading up to her death, she often overheard the nurses discussing the beautiful love story between the "pure and seductive goddess" Zhu Keqing and the "tycoon of the business world" Lu Jingting, as well as Lu Jingting's self-inflicted "white moonlight." She felt envious and jealous, wishing she could be like them!
The next time she woke up, she had become Cheng Yingxin, Lu Jingting's white moonlight who abandoned him for her dreams.
She "reincarnated" quite early. Thinking that Zhu Keqing and Lu Jingting wouldn't meet until later, she didn't rush back. Instead, she studied piano abroad. She had Cheng Yingxin's memories, and with gradual practice, she quickly acquired her skills.
While enriching herself, she also had people monitor Lu Jingting. Upon discovering that they had met and Lu Jingting had already started interacting with Zhu Keqing, treating her as a substitute, she couldn't sit still. She booked a flight back to China.
At that time, the two had only just begun to develop feelings, and Zhu Keqing was only starting to gain popularity. She used the excuse of her heart condition to gain Lu Jingting's forgiveness, temporarily separating them.
But she was wary of Zhu Keqing. Zhu Keqing was very beautiful, youthful, and vibrant, far more attractive than her frail appearance. They would be so loving, they would be the perfect match in everyone's eyes...
She couldn't convince herself not to be jealous. She also entered the entertainment industry. She had connections, talent, and backing, and her career was flourishing, yet she still couldn't compare to the radiant Zhu Keqing.
Furthermore, Zhu Keqing worked in Lu Jingting's company. She was suspicious of them all day long, always feeling like there was something between them. This suspicion made her increasingly uncomfortable, and she finally decided that she had to get rid of Zhu Keqing.
After several schemes to make Lu Jingting completely favor her, she set traps for Zhu Keqing, took embarrassing photos of her, and caused Lu Jingting to become more and more disappointed in her. Finally, there was that group sex party, the disgusting and dirty videos, the nude photo scandal...
She completely ruined Zhu Keqing. She manipulated public opinion with internet trolls, making everyone condemn Zhu Keqing. Ultimately, her goal was achieved, and Zhu Keqing committed suicide. SueDian Novel Network.
Even though she left a suicide note to prove her innocence, it was easily overturned by Cheng Yingxin, becoming proof of her "guilt and suicide."
If it weren't for Zhu Han, Zhu Chongyan would have also been ruined by her, eventually blackening into a monstrous aberration before killing her.
Thinking of this, Zhu Han remembered her earlier doubts.
"That night you were drugged, did someone help you escape? How did you end up in my room?"
Zhu Chongyan felt the question was a bit of a leap. He thought for a moment before answering, "They were initially going to take me to Mr. Li's room. In the elevator, someone saved me, but they had something to do and left me behind a flower vase. I walked over in a daze and was pushed into your room by someone."
Zhu Han frowned. "Do you remember what the person who saved you looked like?"
If the plot had unfolded as planned, Zhu Chongyan would have ended up in that man's room and even killed him.
She hadn't done anything at the time. Who had changed the plot?
It made it difficult for her to find a reason to kill that fat pig now.
"I don't remember. I had been drinking, and I was drugged. I kept my eyes closed the whole time and didn't see clearly."
Zhu Han thought for a moment and decided to let it go for now. "Forget it if you don't remember."
"I'm done eating."
"Have you packed your things?"
"Almost."
"Then go pack. I'll take you there shortly."
"Okay."

"Jingting."
Cheng Yingxin, wearing a white dress, exuded an ethereal aura, with a touch of frailty. She said with utmost sincerity to the person in front of her, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done."
The man shook his head. "We don't need to say thank you between us. But, when did you offend Sheng Jiangchen?"
"Is that President Sheng from Shengwei Entertainment? I didn't offend him. My family even has cooperation with Shengwei. Jingting, why would you ask that? Could it be him?"
"That's right. What happened today was his doing. However, he won't leave any evidence that is unfavorable to him. This matter will have to end here. The trending searches have already been suppressed, so you don't need to worry."
Cheng Yingxin thanked him repeatedly.
"I told you we don't need to say thank you."
"But, I..." Her eyes filled with tears, and she said softly, "My health... I'm destined not to be with you for long, Jingting. Let's just end it. I think Miss Rong is quite good, and she's beautiful too. Why don't you try with her..."
"Xin'er!" Lu Jingting sharply interrupted. "I don't like hearing things like that."
"But I... I just want someone to accompany you after I'm gone. Miss Rong is such a good person. If she accompanies you, I'll be at ease."
Lu Jingting was about to retort, but suddenly thought of something and remained silent.
Love.
What a perfect weapon it was.
