Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Su Ruan was unaware that her natural fearlessness towards the characters in the book made everyone look at her with even greater respect.

She simply solves problems in her own preferred way.

"What do you mean by that, Miss Lin?"

She didn't understand where Lin Zhiyu's illusion of being humiliated came from.

She simply addressed the issue at hand, without even taking into account the scheming in their words.

She didn't care because she felt those calculations were meaningless.

Su Ruan is self-reliant in this world. People can date her if they want, but she never tries to be nice to those who don't like her.

She didn't rely on her family background.

She relied on the knowledge in her mind, the fragments of words she had read in books in her previous life.

She never thought about integrating into any circle based on her status, so naturally she didn't care about being recognized by that circle.

But it was precisely this composure that made others think more highly of her.

Looking at Su Ruan's still arrogant face, Lin Zhiyu was furious.

"Don't think that just because Brother Yanci is protecting you, you can do whatever you want!"

Su Ruan was even more puzzled.

"Aren't you the ones who do whatever you want?"

"I didn't say a word from beginning to end. I was hit by someone, my clothes got dirty, but you guys blocked me here and I couldn't even change my clothes."

"You asked me for a word, and I gave it to you. What are you doing here now?"

"Are you trying to force me to apologize and admit my mistake?"

"Oh, I see, that's right. It's normal for others to apologize and admit their mistakes to you."

Su Ruan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

She truly loathed this woman named Lin Zhiyu.

She used to think that the arrogant and domineering rich ladies she read about were somewhat unrealistic.

Now that I've actually seen it for myself, I understand why they act this way.

Their status has made them used to being superior.

Even if it's their fault, it's always others who apologize and try to smooth things over. The fact that they don't turn around and retaliate is already considered very kind.

In their eyes, being ordinary is lowly, and being lowly is original sin.

Even if someone appears very peaceful on ordinary days, it is with an air of condescending charity.

Just like Lin Zhiyu today.

Recalling Lin Zhiyu's previous reaction, she was certain that Lin Zhiyu did not know who she was or that she knew Lu Yanci when she bumped into her.

Therefore, Lin Zhiyu only regarded her as an ordinary person who did not need to care about her, that is, an ant that did not need to be taken seriously.

Her anger later wasn't because Lu Yanci made her apologize for her mistakes, but because she had to apologize to someone she didn't respect.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said the truth so bluntly. It would have embarrassed the person who was hit."

Su Ruan calmly shared her newly acquired insights.

But it seems it's already too late.

But she didn't care.

"Pfft!"

Lu Shuangshuang burst out laughing.

"Sister Ruanruan, you're so cute when you talk."

Su Ruan's ears turned slightly red instantly.

She always says she really didn't mean it.

Encountering problems, thinking, structuring, and drawing conclusions have become a routine behavioral system for her.

She gently leaned close to Lu Shuangshuang's ear and asked, "Don't you think I'm going too far?"

She didn't care what others thought, but Lu Shuangshuang was an acquaintance with whom she could continue to build relationships.

It's worth paying attention to the opinions of this type of person, as they can help in judging her future behavioral principles.

Lu Shuangshuang gently nibbled at her ear, "Don't you think that's going too far?"

"My sister wasn't wrong, hehe."

Su Ruan smiled.

The kind of happy feeling.

"I also think you were amazing today," Lu Yanci quickly chimed in.

Su Ruan looked over with a puzzled expression.

Lu Yanci instantly looked extremely embarrassed.

Lu Shuangshuang laughed heartily.

"Brother, you've got a misunderstanding! Sister Ruan Ruan didn't ask you at all!"

Su Qingyao, Su Qingqian, and Su Chen'an around them all laughed.

Lu Yanci's face turned even redder. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then looked at Su Ruan with a resentful expression.

Su Ruan looked completely innocent.

She didn't say anything.

"you!"

"You've gone too far!"

Lin Zhiyu has never been looked down upon like this before.

Why does that girl named Ruanruan receive special treatment from the Lu and Su families?

And her own brother, Lin Mo—don't think she didn't see it; he was laughing along with her just now!

"You vixen! You're a vixen!"

"Who said my junior sister is a vixen?"

A stern shout came from the doorway.

It's Wen Yubai!

Also present were the hosts of the banquet, the Xia family patriarch and his entourage.

Another handsome middle-aged man caught Su Ruan's eye.

That man really did look seven or eight parts like her!

Is this Su Qingyao's father?

The man's gaze also fell on her.

His scrutinizing gaze was calm and composed, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Meanwhile, whispers began to circulate among the crowd.

Because someone recognized Wen Yubai.

"That's...that's the successor of the legendary healer, Wen Yubai, Young Master Wen!"

"Just now, Young Master Wen addressed Miss Su as his junior sister. Doesn't that mean... Miss Su is also a successor of the Divine Healer?"

Xu Nianhe's face turned deathly pale again.

How could the Su Ruan she knew possibly be a successor of a divine doctor?

She obviously...

Xu Nianhe suddenly felt that it wasn't so bad that Su Ruan was an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family.

She watched and watched, clinging to a sliver of hope that the person who had just called out wasn't Su Ruan.

However, things did not go as she wished.

The so-called successor of the divine doctor, with eyes as cold as frost, strode up to Su Ruan and met her gaze.

"Junior sister, you've come too."

Then she looked at Lin Zhiyu, "It was you who just slandered my junior sister, calling her a vixen?"

Lin Zhiyu's mind hadn't processed it yet.

"Junior Sister...?"

Thanks to Lu Shuangshuang, Lin Zhiyu had met Wen Yubai.

One time, when she went to find Lu Shuangshuang, she happened to run into Wen Yubai coming out of Lu Yanci's study.

Only after asking did I learn that the handsome, aloof man was actually the successor of the divine physician.

"But isn't the legendary healer only having you as his successor?"

Everyone knows that the legendary healer has a successor, whom he has been training since childhood.

However, the miracle doctor's whereabouts were elusive, and few people had ever seen him and his apprentice.

Yet no one had ever heard that the divine physician had taken on another disciple.

Wen Yubai's narrow eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.

"Does my master need to ask you before accepting an apprentice, or do I need to send you a special message to notify you?"

"I know you are a young lady from the Lin family, of high status, but my master's disciple is not someone you can insult at will!"

Lin Zhiyu felt as if a venomous snake was staring at her fiercely, flicking its tongue at her.

He couldn't help but lean back slightly.

"No, no, I didn't..."

"You'd better not have it! Otherwise..."

After threatening Lin Zhiyu, Wen Yubai turned to look at Su Ruan again.

With just one turn, his eyes, as cold as a venomous snake, softened.

"Junior sister, are you alright?"

"Should we permanently blacklist the Lin family from the Divine Doctor Valley?"
