I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 28

“President Lin, what do you mean by this? You clearly know that Lu Corporation’s game is about to launch, yet you’re releasing yours a day earlier?”

“We’re practically family soon, how is this any different from slapping me in the face?”

Lin Yi lowered his narrow eyes slightly, a hint of nonchalant smile playing at the corners of his lips. “President Lu, it’s too early to call us family.”

“With all the fluttering butterflies around you, Lin Shuangran would only end up hurt.”

Lu Ze had originally come to place blame and shift the fault onto the Lin family, but Lin Yi effortlessly shut him down with just a few words. Lu Ze’s face flushed red with anger.

“And what do you mean by ‘slapping you in the face’? It’s just a coincidence in timing don’t overthink it.”

“President Lu, let’s not be unreasonable here.”

“Also, President Lu, we may need to reconsider the marriage arrangement between Xiao Ran and the Lu family. Xiao Ran is outstanding. there’s no need for her to settle for a rotten cucumber.”

Shi Xingrao, listening nearby, couldn’t help but curl her lips into a slight smile. Sometimes, Lin Yi’s sharp tongue wasn’t so detestable after all.

No one had ever insulted him like this before, and he felt he hadn’t provoked Lin Yi in the slightest. His plan to shift the blame had backfired, and instead, he was scolded for being unreasonable.

Lu Ze’s face, which had initially carried a smile, twisted into an indescribable expression of rage. A rotten cucumber? He was a rotten cucumber?

It was Lin Shuangran who had abandoned him first, why should he remain chaste for her?

He had only intended to torment Lin Shuangran, but now he wanted the entire Lin family to suffer. He wanted Lin Shuangran to see the consequences of repeatedly rejecting him.

Thinking of his company’s game’s smooth performance and cutting-edge technology, Lu Ze managed to rein in his furious expression a little.

If Lin Yi wanted to challenge him in his area of expertise, he was in for a rude awakening.

“Lin Yi, since you want to compete with us, then get ready to be crushed. I’ll be waiting for you to send Lin Shuangran to beg me for mercy.”

“You idiot, you won’t get that chance.” Faced with such foolishness, Lin Yi didn’t even bother with sarcasm only straightforward words were fitting for Lu Ze.

As Lin Yi looked up, he met Shi Xingrao’s appreciative gaze. Her strikingly beautiful, captivating face leaned in casually, her warm breath carrying a faint orchid-like scent. “What? Want me to call you an idiot too?”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

Lin Yi really had no filter when it came to attacking anyone.

For once, Lu Ze hadn’t sought comfort in a lover’s embrace even after work hours. But the more he worked on the program, the more agitated he became. He wanted to optimize the game further before its release, but it was as if he had exhausted his talent, he couldn’t even write passable code anymore.

After struggling for a long time, the fear of being unable to code weighed heavily on him, causing both psychological and physical discomfort. His hand muscles twitched unnervingly.

The confidence he had felt during the day had completely vanished. He was afraid afraid that he might actually lose in the field he was best at.

Gu Yi’s call came at the worst possible time. Lu Ze answered the phone, his tone dark and hostile. “I’m swamped right now, how could I possibly have time for you?”

“It’s because of you that Lin Shuangran thinks I’m a rotten cucumber.”

“It’s because of you that the Lin family is blocking the marriage between Lin Shuangran and me.”

Gu Yi couldn’t hold back her sobs, crying softly in frustration. “Why are you being so harsh with me? I never said you couldn’t marry Sister Shuangran. Besides, it was Sister Shuangran who wronged you first.”

“If Sister Shuangran truly wanted to marry you, would her family really stop her?”

“Even with Sister Shuangran around, I was willing to be the other woman for you. What more do you want?”

“Anyway, I’m beyond saving now. If Brother Ze wants to blame me, then so be it.”

Gu Yi continued weeping pitifully, but Lu Ze, through their conversation, suddenly conceived a plan to deal with the Lin family. Indeed, if he could just coax Lin Shuangran into agreeing to marry him, Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to object. Currently, the Lin parents were in no position to manage affairs, leaving marriage matters entirely up to Lin Shuangran herself.

He and Lin Shuangran were bound by fate now. If he asked her to do something, how could she possibly refuse?

The Lin family wanted to compete with him for market share? They wouldn’t even know what hit them.

Once the Lin family completely collapsed, not only could he use Lin Shuangran to seize most of their assets, but he could also strip her of her support system. Lin Shuangran would become a bird in his cage, unable to escape.

His white moonlight he would keep her firmly in his grasp. While the pure moonlight was beautiful, he believed shattered moonlight would be even more captivating.

Across from him, soft weeping continued. Only then did Lu Ze snap back to reality, feeling a pang of guilt. “I’m not abandoning you, Yiyi. Brother would never blame you.”

“By the way, Yiyi, what’s wrong with you?”

“Alright, don’t cry. I’ll make sure you get better.”

“Of course, Shuangran will definitely save you. I’ll arrange to meet her tomorrow.”

The conclusion of the final simulation phase marked the full optimization of the game. The release scheduled for the day after tomorrow was perfectly timed, the game’s optimization had progressed faster than she had anticipated.

She had initially thought Shi Xingrao would just be a mascot here, but it turned out she was far more capable than expected.

Shi Xingrao rubbed the cat’s ears and allocated another thousand points of emotional value to them. “Time to rest.”

Lin Yi turned and saw Shi Xingrao slumped listlessly over the desk. Walking over, she seemed somewhat helpless. “Don’t neglect your health.”

Shi Xingrao, battling a cold, couldn’t suppress a cough. “…”

Well, there was no explaining it now. Whatever, why bother explaining to Lin Yi anyway? She had no obligation to justify herself to Lin Yi.

“I’ll take you home.”

Illness strikes like a collapsing mountain. All Shi Xingrao wanted now was to slack off and avoid bantering with Lin Yi. When Lin Yi offered to drive her home, Shi Xingrao didn’t refuse.

But just as they reached her doorstep, Shi Xingrao saw Lin Shuangran’s car driving away.

A gut feeling told her something was off. Lin Shuangran had mentioned she had no plans these past few days.

For no apparent reason, Shi Xingrao felt a sudden unease.
