"Lin Mo?"
"Tang Lu?"
Lin Mo and the girl recognized each other at the same time.
"You know each other?"
Jiang Wanli asked with a slight note of apology.
She had been driving too fast just now and failed to control the car in time, leading to the collision; she was clearly in the wrong.
"Ex-girlfriend."
Lin Mo said indifferently.
He and Tang Lu were university classmates and had been together for three years.
In the end, Tang Lu ran off with a Second-generation rich guy right after graduation.
For a long time after that, Lin Mo stopped believing in love.
"Oh, isn't this our company's little clerk, Lin Mo?"
The man behind Tang Lu turned around with a beaming smile.
A cynical-looking man looked at Lin Mo with contempt in his eyes.
Lu Ming—his father was a major shareholder of Tianheng Company, and his mother was the company's General Manager.
With these connections, he was already the company's Marketing Director at a young age.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, instead pulling up Lu Ming's information.
[Name] Lu Ming
[Age] 24
[Trust Level] 42%
[Identity] Marketing Director of Tianheng Company
[Personal Privacy] Has used his position to sleep with many female colleagues
[Current Thought] Knowing Lin Mo is Tang Lu's ex-boyfriend, he wants to suppress him
...After reading Lu Ming's information, Lin Mo remained unperturbed.
It was much like the rumors; this playboy liked to harass various female colleagues at the company.
Some with weak personalities had compromised.
After looking at Lu Ming, Lin Mo couldn't help but glance at Tang Lu.
She was his ex-girlfriend, after all, representing three whole years of his youth.
[Name] Tang Lu
[Age] 22
[Trust Level] 66%
[Identity] Designer at Bao Ou Ya Company
[Personal Privacy] Together with Lu Ming for money
[Current Thought] Feeling guilty upon meeting Lin Mo
...After reading Tang Lu's information, Lin Mo finally felt a stir of emotion.
This woman actually still knew how to feel guilt.
Back then, for the sake of money, she had resolutely chosen to break up.
From this trust level, it was clear that Tang Lu had actually loved Lin Mo sincerely.
"Let's go."
Lin Mo didn't want to argue with Tang Lu about anything; since she had made her choice, they could only respect each other and maintain some dignity.
After saying that, he signaled Jiang Wanli to drive.
At this moment, Tang Lu and Lu Ming finally noticed Jiang Wanli in the driver's seat.
In Tang Lu's eyes, Lin Mo was the ex-boyfriend she had deeply loved, so she naturally looked at her ex's current partner with a scrutinizing gaze.
Competition between girls is simple; it's not about family background or personality, but looks.
Whoever is prettier makes the other's defenses crumble.
Therefore, when Tang Lu saw the flawless Jiang Wanli, she was instantly stunned.
Whether it was looks, figure, or that outstanding temperament, this girl crushed her without any suspense.
In this silent comparison, Tang Lu was utterly defeated.
As for Lu Ming, his eyes went straight; it was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful and moving girl.
Lu Ming had been quite satisfied with catching a little beauty like Tang Lu.
But now, compared to Jiang Wanli, he suddenly began to doubt his life choices.
In the face of Jiang Wanli's beauty, Tang Lu seemed to turn into a common, vulgar woman.
"You..."
Lu Ming had the thick skin to try and greet Jiang Wanli.
Being pretty is an advantage, but this society is very realistic; money and status are king.
Otherwise, how could Tang Lu have left Lin Mo to throw herself into his arms?
So, in Lu Ming's eyes, his superior family background was enough to make Jiang Wanli's heart flutter.
Who knew that as soon as Lu Ming spoke, Jiang Wanli would drive off.
"Sorry about earlier!"
She called out an apology while speeding away.
If you hit someone, you should apologize; it had nothing to do with the other person's identity.
"Who was that girl?"
Lu Ming asked subconsciously.
For a moment, he actually felt lost in thought.
Love at first sight really does exist.
"How should I know?"
Tang Lu replied unhappily.
After the breakup, Lin Mo had actually found such a celestial beauty; this felt worse to her than being killed... "So, how did you and your ex-girlfriend break up?"
Jiang Wanli asked seemingly casually while driving the off-road vehicle.
She had never been in a relationship, but she knew that two people who are together don't just separate for no reason.
Every couple that has loved each other has a reason for breaking up.
"That man is the son of a major shareholder in our company. You know why now, right?"
Lin Mo said softly.
Life requires basic necessities; many adults lean towards material security when choosing a partner, which isn't inherently right or wrong.
Love can't put food on the table, after all.
"Ah?"
Jiang Wanli was somewhat puzzled. Could someone really give up the person they like for money?
She could tell that Tang Lu's gaze was tender when she looked at Lin Mo; that was proof they had loved each other.
"Everyone thinks differently. You don't lack money, but for most people, money is everything."
Lin Mo stretched, not wanting to dwell on this.
Jiang Wanli's family was rich, so money was actually the least important thing to her.
Everyone's needs are different; there's no need to force any specific values.
Lin Mo actually didn't quite understand why couples had to act like enemies after breaking up.
Afterward, the two of them had a great time playing outdoors.
By the time they left, Jiang Wanli felt like an experienced driver and didn't forget to post on her Friend Circle to show off.
Because it was his good brother's birthday that night, Lin Mo sent Jiang Wanli back.
He would wait until their relationship naturally progressed to being together before introducing her to his friends and family.
He dropped her off at Ten Mile Flower Capital along with that ferrari.
Even if such an expensive supercar were given to Lin Mo, he wouldn't be able to afford its maintenance.
After parting with Jiang Wanli, Lin Mo's phone rang.
"Where are you, kid? Hurry up, meet at the old place. Old Xu has broken up again for the nth time!"
His best friend Zhang Yang shouted at the top of his lungs.
Today was their good brother Xu Wenjun's birthday, but as it turned out, it was also the day he broke up with his girlfriend.
However, Zhang Yang was clearly used to it.
This eccentric couple would break up and get back together dozens of times a year.
"Don't I know him? He broke up just so he can pick up girls more easily on his birthday night."
Lin Mo joked with a laugh.
Even if the breakup wasn't intentional, he wasn't worried.
Breaking up and getting back together meant their fate hadn't been severed yet.
Checking the time, Lin Mo hailed a taxi to the dinner.
In the car.
Ding!
Lin Mo's phone screen lit up with a new message.
Opening it, it was actually from Jiang Wanli.
They had only just parted ways, which made Lin Mo open the message with great anticipation.
"I'm so mad!"
Seeing the girl send a frantic emoji and text, Lin Mo didn't know the context and felt completely baffled.
However, since a girl was venting to him, she naturally hoped for a response.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo replied patiently.
Although they had only known each other for a day, their chat on the social app was already smoking from how much they talked.
That feeling of meeting a kindred spirit late in life was truly wonderful.
"Just because my mom said a few things, my sister actually ran away from home!"
Jiang Wanli replied quickly, accompanied by a despondent emoji.
"You have a sister?"
Lin Mo's expression became a bit strange.
