Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Greed is Insatiable

Actually, it’s not just because of the unexpectedly appeared Lu Chen, but also because Lu Ming, who lost Qiao Xin as his support, has had his strength greatly reduced again. Now dealing with the Ning Family has become chaotic.

In Lu Yanchuan’s eyes, Lu Ming is not even a worthy opponent, the reason he is so cautious about him is because Lu Yanchuan is concerned whether he still has connections with Dirk Group.

After all, although Jenfors is dead now, there’s no guarantee that other people from Dirk Group might come and contact Lu Ming.

For example, the identity of his mistress is very suspicious.

Speaking of Lin Ke, Qiao Yi gets absolutely infuriated.

After Lu Ming declared war on the Ning Family, Ning Yuze once came and told Qiao Yi about how Lin Ke intended to drug Lu Yanchuan but he accidentally drank it instead.

After learning of this, Qiao Yi was furious and when she wanted to confront Lin Ke face-to-face, the incident with Qiao Xin happened, and thus the matter got delayed.

And these past few days, Lu Ming might think that Qiao Xin will never return, and has already begun to openly bring Lin Ke by his side, seemingly intending for her to inherit Qiao Xin’s identity.

Even though this matter doesn’t concern Qiao Yi much, she still really wants to curse him as a fool!

Being manipulated by a woman, and now even thinking their love is unshakeable, it’s simply laughable!

There’s definitely something wrong with Lin Ke, not only does she eye Lu Yanchuan with covetous intent, but it also seems like someone has been protecting her from behind the scenes during these incidents.

"Don’t you think that Lin Ke is extremely suspicious? Just the fact that she and An Wei were university classmates is enough to make me doubt her identity!"

It’s frightening to be figured out, even a good person if constantly suspected and scrutinized can turn into a suspicious one, let alone Lin Ke who is inherently suspicious.

The more Qiao Yi thinks about it, the more she feels that there’s something wrong with Lin Ke, she suddenly slapped her thigh heavily.

"Yes! This is a good opportunity with Qiao Xin’s disappearance to properly test Lin Ke, and maybe even lure out the people behind her!"

Regarding Qiao Yi’s thoughts, Lu Yanchuan has always been supportive, and without a second word, he began arranging tasks according to her wishes.

Speaking of tasks, it’s actually about keeping Qiao Xin under Yun Qing’s close watch, not allowing her to appear in public view or regain her memory for a short time.

"It’s easy to keep her out of sight, she won’t be able to get out of bed within half a month, but restoring her memory is difficult. Qiao Xin’s temporary memory loss is caused by a hematoma compressing her nerves. In theory, as long as the hematoma disperses, she could regain her memory, and even without my treatment, she will gradually recover her memory."

"Since that’s the case, then don’t treat her brain, let her recover on her own."

Qiao Yi didn’t want to fuss with him and after giving the order, she started to arrange plans targeting Lin Ke.

On the other hand, Lin Ke was discharged from the hospital after three days and moved directly into Lu Ming’s villa.

Lin Ke lived in Lu Ming’s house as if she were the lady of the house, acting as though Qiao Xin hadn’t disappeared but had already died.

This attitude of hers made Lu Ming like her even more, feeling that she truly loved him, which is why she cared so much about his life.

What Lu Ming didn’t know was that Lin Ke was behaving this way only to quickly find out exactly how much wealth Lu Ming had.

The results made Lin Ke very unsatisfied, apart from the most valuable shares of the Lu Family, other miscellaneous things combined were just a few billion in assets, not comparable to Lu Yanchuan at all!

At least Lu Yanchuan has tens of billions of assets publicly displayed, not to mention those unknown assets!

The more Lin Ke understood the Lu Family, the less content she became.

Before she was fully with Lu Ming, she only knew that Lu Ming was the heir to the Lu Family, and that the vast Lu Family would be his in the future.

But now, having understood the makeup of the Lu Family, Lin Ke realized what being an heir meant; it was just hype from outsiders. The real heir was Lu Yanchuan and his future children!

Only those who have never seen the light can tolerate the darkness, likewise, only those who have never seen true luxury can tolerate poverty.

Although Lu Ming wasn’t exactly poor, it all depended on who he was compared to; next to Lu Yanchuan, he was practically a beggar!

"Ming, I have a little idea, I don’t know if you could agree to it?"

With the beauty in his arms, Lu Ming wouldn’t refuse even a hundred little ideas, let alone one.

"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"

Lin Ke smiled at his promise, further relaxed her body against Lu Ming’s chest, and lightly traced circles on his body with her hand.

"It’s nothing much, just that staying at home every day is really boring, I was thinking if I could work at your company, that way I could spend time and still be around you frequently, what do you think?"

Staring at him with her big watery eyes, Lu Ming’s heart almost melted, and without thinking, he agreed.

It’s just about working at the company, and with his status, arranging a job for her was a piece of cake!

The next day, Lin Ke became Lu Ming’s assistant—of course, this position was previously held by Qiao Xin, but now that Qiao Xin had disappeared, the position was naturally vacant.

Xiao Ting was incredibly frustrated recently, as following Qiao Xin, another woman came to the company aiming to curry favor with Lu Yanchuan.

Even the excuses were largely the same—delivering documents, signing off papers, serving tea and water—the reasons were varied and many.

Xiao Ting even wondered if every woman associated with Lu Ming eventually falls for Lu Yanchuan?

Should she say these people are blind, that they initially fell for someone like Lu Ming, or should she say Lu Ming is blind, as all his women end up liking Lu Yanchuan!

Xiao Ting was overwhelmed with irritation, yet the real conflict erupted during a chance encounter in the pantry.

Initially, Lin Ke approached Xiao Ting looking to ingratiate herself, as Xiao Ting was a trusted subordinate of Lu Yanchuan.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Ting was implacable and unyielding, guarding against her as though she was guarding against some catastrophic beast.

Lin Ke herself did not know how many times she’d been blocked by Xiao Ting, as each time she met her, she had that same expressionless face, looking like someone owed her millions.

Xiao Ting knew that Lin Ke definitely wouldn’t like her, and the things she did weren’t designed to be liked. Now, encountering Lin Ke in the pantry, naturally, neither displayed a warm demeanor.

While Xiao Ting was making coffee for Lu Yanchuan, Lin Ke slowly filled water, spying the hot water kettle in Xiao Ting’s hands with a hint of coldness in her eyes; as she turned to leave, Lin Ke suddenly turned around, bumping into Xiao Ting’s arm.

A whole kettle of boiling water poured onto Xiao Ting’s arm, instantly raising several blisters on her skin!
