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

Su Ruan shook the bank card in her hand.

"Does Grandma know how much money is in this card?"

Grandma waved her hand, "How would I know?"

"I haven't touched this card since it was given to me."

"If you don't believe me, you can check my bank statements. I absolutely haven't touched a single penny of it."

Su Ruan: ...

Is that what she meant?

Also, why does she feel that her grandmother is different today than yesterday?

Yesterday, Grandma was kind and quiet, but today she seems a bit... mischievous?

"Grandma, do you have a twin sister?"

Su Ruan's eyes sparkled.

What if Grandma and Grandma Zhou are not the same person?

Grandma shook her head vigorously, "No, no! I have three older sisters and two older brothers, and I'm the only younger sister!"

Su Ruan: ?

Is that right?

So, Grandma and Grandma Zhou are the same person?

What child calls their grandma with their surname?

Su Ruan looked at her smiling grandmother again and again, and decided to stop worrying about it.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll head back to school now. Please take care of yourself and call me if you need anything."

Grandma nodded, "I know, I know! You focus on your studies, Grandma's doing fine!"

Su Ruan clutched the card and said goodbye to her grandmother, "Goodbye, Grandma Zhou!"

Grandma Zhou's smile, which she had been maintaining, finally crumbled.

What did the young lady just call her? Grandma Zhou?

She...she...

And that sly smile, what did Miss remember?

When I looked again, Su Ruan had already gone far away.

His back was straight, and his steps were graceful.

She really looks exactly like her mother.

Large flat in J City.

Lu Yanci held his phone in his left hand and gently tapped the table with his right.

"She's a junior this year, failed her CET-4, and should be studying at J University. The two photos she sent were both taken at J University's campus hospital."

"She was very thin and fair-skinned, with a soft voice that would unconsciously rise at the end of her sentences."

On the other end of the phone, "Anything else? Is that all?"

Lu Yanci paused in tapping the table, his brows furrowing slightly.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to know almost nothing about the little cutie.

For the past six months, the topics have mostly been about the weather, such as how nice the weather is, how blue the sky is, or how cold the wind is, or nice phrases learned online.

Back then, when he was bored, he would check what she posted and occasionally reply with a word or two, but he never took the initiative to try to understand her.

Later, after that absurd test, he and a cute little creature finally began to have some real-world interactions.

But the time was too short; apart from a photo of her receiving an IV drip at the hospital and a video of her not showing her face at the hospital, there was nothing else.

"By the way, she needed money a lot before, at least 500,000, I guess it was for the surgery she needed."

"Okay, we will focus our search on hospitals."

"This is troublesome."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanci looked at his phone screen and opened his chat with a cute girl.

In the chat box, there are messages only on the right, and none on the left. The one-sided record looks extremely discordant.

If you scroll up further, you'll find the two sides are evenly matched.

Aside from a few brief text messages, the rest were all voice messages.

Lu Yanci never knew that he himself was so eloquent.

As he listened to each note, a smile slowly crept onto Lu Yanci's lips.

The earliest photo is of the school hospital entrance; the photos above it show a completely different style.

The messages were almost all overwhelmingly from the left, while he only gave a few words like "um" or "okay," or just a transfer record.

That lively little cutie hasn't shown its face for 5 days.

He didn't know if she was alright, or even if she was still alive.

When Su Ruan returned to school, she was humming a song.

Even though she didn't hum a single note out loud, she hummed it in her heart.

Back in the dorm, Ruan Taole was quietly reading a novel, Ji Ning was still rushing to finish her homework, and surprisingly, Xia Xingyou was also doing her homework.

Oh no, I mean copying homework.

Next to her homework was Ruan Taole's homework.

When Ruan Taole saw Su Ruan return, she looked away from her phone.

"You're back!"

Su Ruan nodded in response.

Then he walked to his desk, put down the backpack he was carrying, and plopped down in the chair.

Traveling by car is really tiring.

After resting for a while, Su Ruan took out a bag of red and yellow fruits from her bag.

"I brought some pears and apples from my hometown. Anyone want to try them? Just so you know, the pears are a bit sour, and the apples are a bit astringent."

Ruan Taole immediately put down her phone.

"I want to see just how sour and astringent it really is."

She chuckled and took a pear and an apple from her pocket.

Ji Ning, who was rushing to finish her homework, and Xia Xingyou, who was copying homework, each took one.

Su Ruan placed the bag on the table, saying, "Take whatever you like."

"Okay! Thank you, Ruan Ruan!" Ruan Tao Le said with a smile as she took it to the sink to wash it.

They were all used to not being polite to Su Ruan, and they all knew that she didn't talk much, but she didn't say anything polite.

Su Ruan simply pulled an apple out of the bag, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.

These were all prepared for her by Grandma Zhou, and they were all washed clean well in advance.

The familiar sour smell jolted Su Ruan awake, and she took out her neglected homework.

Yes, there's still enough time to get started.

After writing furiously, Su Ruan finally finished the last word before dinner time.

She also received a notification from Lu Yanci on her phone.

The devil: "Remember to come to the lab after dinner."

"Devil" was Su Ruan's special nickname for Lu Yanci.

It constantly reminds her to cherish life and stay away from the male lead.

Su Ruan replied with just two simple words: "Received."

At times like these, Su Ruan would admire the original owner's intelligence.

Because she used other people's photos and a different account to "beng laotou".

Otherwise, she would have been exposed when Lu Yanci asked to add her as a friend after she passed the interview last Wednesday.

Su Ruan resignedly packed up all her documents, slung her bag over her shoulder, and headed down from the dormitory building.

After a quick dinner, I rushed to the laboratory building.

Their project is: a microwatt-level multispectral environment real-time sensing and dynamic control chip module.

This refers to a flexible wearable multispectral light and shadow adaptive chip, which mainly uses chip algorithms to collect and identify the colors of the surrounding environment in real time, and then outputs the appropriate colors.

The most cutting-edge application is military-grade stealth camouflage.

This is also the main reason why Lu Yanci chose this direction and why the Lu family invested in this project.

This is also why Su Ruan did not refuse even though she knew that her involvement would affect the romantic relationship between the male and female leads.

meeting room.

Today, Lu Yanci was wearing a dark red shirt and a pair of black gold-rimmed glasses.

Su Ruan subconsciously scanned from top to bottom.

Wow! Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs—what a beautiful face!

As expected of a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel!
