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

"I don't know the specifics, but that's how it is. Lin Xiran has been following Su Zhe around for so many years, and everyone says she's the most likely Mrs. Su."

Lu Yanci couldn't understand it either.

"Perhaps, maybe, you look too much like your uncle?"

It's said that when a woman's jealousy burns, even she herself is afraid, and that's not impossible.

Su Ruan narrowed her eyes.

"Perhaps she misunderstood."

"After all, no one knew that Su Zhe was my uncle before."

Lu Yanci's words enlightened her.

She looks so much like Su Zhe.

It's not about looks, but about charisma.

With five layers of looks and two more layers of temperament, he's a perfect replica of Su Zhe.

Especially after she adapted to the place and began to enjoy her extraordinary life.

She remembered that last night, when everyone guessed she was the Su family's illegitimate daughter, that woman smiled.

When Su Zhe asked her to call him "uncle" as soon as he arrived, the woman looked extremely surprised.

Lu Yanci nodded in realization.

Are women really that perceptive?

And his associative abilities are so strong?

Regardless of the reason, Su Ruan was still very angry.

Lin Xiran likes Su Zhe.

Su Zhe is her uncle.

"Does Lin Xiran know she's been exposed?"

Her eyebrows were slightly raised.

Lu Yanci smiled slightly.

"I already had someone pass the message on to her last night."

Oh?

well.

Su Ruan glanced at Lu Yanci.

Those eyebrows and eyes...

Two bad embryos!

But Lu Yanci showed no awareness of being caught doing something wrong, and his gaze remained open and honest.

She looks exactly like Su Ruan.

Su Ruan withdrew her gaze, looked out the window, and unconsciously coughed.

The apartment where Lin Mo lives.

He looked at his aunt Lin Xiran, who had suddenly come to visit, and remained silent without speaking first.

He was unaware of what happened last night, but after asking around, he learned the whole story.

He wasn't surprised at all that his aunt would help Lin Zhiyu.

But it seems that her aunt's hostility towards Su Ruan did not begin just last night.

When Lin Xiran entered, she had a smile on her face.

Seeing Lin Mo's dark face, she put on a faint look of grievance.

"Xiao Mo, I didn't want things to turn out like this yesterday."

"Xiao Mo, you know your aunt has never had bad intentions."

"My aunt is truly apologizing to Miss Su. You know how much my aunt admired Miss Su before."

"I just never expected them to misunderstand me like that."

"Xiao Mo, please beg Miss Su for me. I want to apologize to her in person, is that alright?"

Lin Mo had been silent until Lin Xiran finished speaking.

My aunt's initial praise for Su Ruan was genuine, but that changed later.

As for what his aunt was really planning, he didn't want to know.

"I can't help you with this."

"I'm not familiar with Miss Su Ruan at all."

"I had a chance to integrate into their circle through investment last time, but unfortunately, I missed it."

"Feel sorry!"

Lin Mo apologized, but Lin Xiran knew that Lin Mo simply didn't want to help her.

In particular, he brought up the fact that she had previously blocked his investments.

Are you blaming me?

"I was just busy with something at the time."

"And...and their project isn't progressing that fast either, if you..."

"There are no ifs," Lin Mo interrupted.

Cooperation is not just about money.

Besides, they're not short of money.

The key is who they are willing to play with.

He happened to be there at that time, and he also had a distant but not close relationship with Lu Yanci. If he were to suggest joining, he would not likely be refused.

But now, why should anyone make another exception for him?

Lin Xiran awkwardly stopped talking.

At their level, whether a single project is profitable is no longer their primary concern.

Their family's wealth is enough to support all of them for generations to come.

What they are seeking now is stability, to avoid being eliminated or purged.

What they seek is for the older generation to pass away, while the new generation remains in the core circle.

At that time, she misjudged Su Ruan's identity and therefore misjudged the importance of that cooperation.

She couldn't pretend she didn't understand.

"There will always be other opportunities in the future."

She tried so hard to get close to Su Zhe, wasn't it all just hoping that others would give her some face?

The Lin family is indeed one of the four most powerful families in S City.

But that was when the old man was still alive.

Their father was good at maintaining the status quo but lacked expansion capabilities; several investments nearly crippled the Lin family.

Lin Mo did not respond.

Judging from the current situation, Su Ruan is a carefree person and may not hold a grudge against him, but it is unknown whether she will bring him along next time.

"Then...about the apology?"

"Feel sorry!"

Lin Xiran came to find Lin Mo full of anticipation, but left with a belly full of complaints.

Lin Mo stared at Lin Xiran's no longer straight back, standing there silently for a long time.

Yongfeng Base.

IC PARK.

What comes into view are rows of low-density, six-story detached houses.

Su Ruan followed Lu Yanci out of the car.

In front of us are two interconnected detached buildings with identical interior design.

Su Ruan was speechless.

The Lu family is incredibly wealthy.

Lu Yanci also has money.

To put herself at ease, she asked one last question: "How much is the annual rent for these two office buildings?"

Lu Yanci smiled nonchalantly and said, "The annual rent is about 4000 million."

Su Ruan gasped.

With the little money she had, it wasn't even enough to cover the annual rent for the building.

She was still too poor.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhengyang was frugal; the annual rent for his office was less than 150,000 yuan.

Su Ruan stopped asking questions and followed Lu Yanci into the lobby on the first floor.

The lobby is also decorated in a very luxurious style, clearly indicating that the owner is not short of money.

It's... very much like the Lu family.

Lu Yanci even took Su Ruan to the front desk and personally had someone issue her an access card.

Su Ruan followed Lu Yanci to the front desk in a daze, watching his series of actions until the access card was handed to her, at which point she realized what Lu Yanci had just done.

Su Ruan looked at the access card in her hand, while Qingqing tilted her head.

She's not Lu Yanci's employee, so why would he give her an access card?

Lu Yanci coughed softly.

"With the access card, you can come here more often in the future."

Su Ruan's ears suddenly felt hot.

Is this considered... a sudden confession?

But Su Ruan still accepted the access card.

Then they followed Lu Yanci into one of the elevators.

Lu Yanci kept his head down, operating his phone.

After entering the elevator, Lu Yanci said, "I've already granted you direct access to the CEO's office on the top floor. From now on, whenever you come to see me, you can just go upstairs."

Su Ruan's cheeks felt even hotter.

Anyone want to come and find him?

But this time the elevator didn't stop at the CEO's office on the sixth floor; instead, it went to the third floor, the reliability testing laboratory.

Here, Lu Yanci received the latest definitive report.

"After debugging based on the data sent back by the president, the new samples did not exhibit batch-specific signal interference or abnormal temperature drift in the small-scale retest experiment."

Lu Yanci nodded.

He took the documents, turned to the data comparison page, and presented them to Su Ruan.
