<h4>Chapter 574: Chapter 570 Leaving Modu</h4>


    By the time work was over, Lu Tianxing felt that he had beenpletely ignored by these two women. Moreover, since the arrival of Mand, his status had plummeted from an assistant to a mere servant. He was eithermanded by Bai Zhiqing to deliver documents to various departments or ordered by Mand to buy her cold beverages and ice cream downstairs. For several hours straight, he didn’t get a moment’s rest as he ran up and down the stairs.


    Especially after Mand helped Bai Zhiqing deal with several tricky financial issues, Mand became Bai Zhiqing’s preferred assistant, and he was relegated to being an assistant to the assistant, without a shred of human rights, degraded to being a runner. All of his protests werepletely ignored by the two women.


    What was even more infuriating, every time Mand solved a difficult financial problem, she would show him the files with a proud look, and say, "These problems are a piece of cake. I could have easily solved them back in high school, howe you, having been an assistant for so long, haven’t managed to resolve them."


    Mand’s excellence made Bai Zhiqing feel even more like she had struck gold, essentially taking it for granted to use her own husband as a runner.


    "Manman, thest time Bai’s Group faced a financial crisis, was the person that Lu Tianxing found you?" Bai Zhiqing asked Mand curiously.


    Mand chuckled and replied, "Of course, it was me. Those little fools didn’t know better and dared to mess with my sister-inw’spany. They were really asking for trouble. If they hadn’t backed off so quickly, I would have made them lose even their underwear. Right, bro?"


    Lu Tianxing, lying on the sofa, said weakly, "Yeah, wife, in the future, if you have any problems, just leave them to her to deal with, use her as you please, no need to be polite with me."


    "Bro, what do you mean by ’use her as you please’? What am I to you?"


    Dissatisfied, Mand whimpered to Bai Zhiqing, "Sis, I’m starving to death. Can we knock off work and go eat? The food on the ne was so bad, I’m going to die of hunger."


    "Starving to death!"


    Lu Tianxing nced at the huge pile of snacks in front of Mand and rolled his eyes. If this was starving to death, everyone else would have died long ago.


    Bai Zhiqing, hearing Mand’sint, smacked her own head and apologetically said, "Manman, sorry about that. You see, your sister-inw has been so busy with work, I almost forgot about that. Let’s go, I’ll take you home for dinner."


    "Hold on, wife, today the old man took Weiwei and the others back to our ancestral home, and there’s just the three of us at home. If we go home for dinner, who’s going to cook?" As soon as he heard this, Lu Tianxing quickly spoke up, looking at Bai Zhiqing with a terrified expression, as if he would rather die than eat her cooking.


    "Of course, you’re cooking, who else?" Bai Zhiqing said matter-of-factly.


    Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mand’s face turned to shock, "What? Bro, you can cook? It’s not some kind of dark cuisine, is it?"


    "Go cool off somewhere else."


    Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but give Mand a scornful look. Howe this girl loved to undermine him so much, "Today, this master chef will let you witness what true culinary skill is. Don’t think that just because you graduated from Harvard University you’re something special. In this day and age, there are plenty of university graduates who starve to death. Practical skills are what really matter."


    "Hehe, bro, those are your own words. Since you’ve decided, I’ll leave the important task of buying groceries to you. Please go to the supermarket and remember, the ingredients must be fresh. Oh, and my favorites are fried shrimp and sweet and sour ribs, pick up a chicken for soup on your way back too," Mand pped her hands and said cheerily.


    Lu Tianxing was taken aback, "What about you?"


    "Of course, I’m going home with sis. You don’t expect her to apany you to the supermarket, do you? Of course, if you’re not afraid of your wife being harassed by those Casanovas, that’s entirely possible," Mand teased.


    She turned to Bai Zhiqing and said, "Isn’t that right, sis?"


    "That’s right, Lu Tianxing, the important task of buying groceries is yours. I still have a few financial questions I want to ask Manman, so I won’t be apanying you," said Bai Zhiqing as she walked out with Mand. As they left, Mand made a face at Lu Tianxing, looking triumphant. She used to bemanded by him all the time; now, she was finally able to get her revenge, and it felt incredibly satisfying.


    ...


    Time flies, the years go by swiftly, and several days passed. During these days, Bai Zhiqing and Mand got along famously, and even became good friends with Bai Weiwei. Lu Tianxing, surprised by Mand’s social skills, also felt theplete arrival of his dark life.


    At work, Mand always found new ways to torment him, leaving him betweenughs and tears, unable to hit or scold her, and even the slightest tone of harshness in his voice would lead her toin to Bai Zhiqing, pretending to be a victim.


    That would be excusable, but at home, he had to endure the united front of Bai Weiwei and Mand against him. The two little devils working together were definitely not as simple as one plus one; it was almost the death of him.


    To make matters worse, ever since Mand arrived, he had beenpletely deprived of the privilege to sleep with Bai Zhiqing every night. As soon as night fell, Mand would kick him out, saying confidently that she wanted to learn from her sister-inw about managing thepany, which might take all night, and that he should find somewhere else to make do.


    Lu Tianxing now felt like he was abandoned. If he had known it woulde to this, he would have never let Mande to Modu. That little devil was simply here to torment him.


    Mand’s arrival also sent Bai’s Group into an uproar. A young and beautiful woman, who reced Lu Tianxing as thepany’s new star and became Bai Zhiqing’s assistant in a very short time, naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention. Almost every morning, she would receive so many flowers they could nearly pile up into a mountain.


    After all, a pretty and adorable young woman was weed wherever she went.


    Meanwhile, as Mand’s arrival stirred up Bai’s Group, another piece of news also rocked thepany: Lin Qianru had taken leave.


    It was well-known that ever since Lin Qianru joined Bai’s Group, she hardly ever took leave except for sick days, and she was never absent. In Bai’s Group, Lin Qianru was the model of discipline—neverte, never leaving early, and always diligent in her work, a paragon among paragons. The shock of her taking leave now could be well imagined.


    All kinds of rumors were flying around Bai’s Group. Some said Lin Qianru was nning to go back home to get married, others imed she was tired of the monotonous life and wanted a change, and there were those who said some otherpany had offered a huge sum to poach Lin Qianru. Various spections were spreading within Bai’s Group.


    However, for the person concerned, these things no longer had any impact.


    After lunch, Lu Tianxing left Bai’s Group and went to the gate of the residential area where Lin Qianru lived.


    This was the arrangement they had made. Lu Tianxing had nned to leave a few days ago, but he stayed to settle the matters of the Sky Alliance for Rose.


    Now, Rose practically had control over the entire Underworld of Modu. At this point, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but admire Rose’s methods. In just a few days, the Rose Society hadpletely swallowed up the Sky Alliance and taken absolute control.


    When Lu Tianxing arrived at the residentialplex, he saw Lin Qianru waiting for him at the entrance, which immediately brightened his eyes.


    Today, Lin Qianru was dressed in a white shirt that looked exceptionally refreshing. On the lower half of her body, she wore a pair of light ck checkered pencil pants that made her legs appear even more straight and slender. Her jet-ck, glossy hair wasn’t tied up but fell loosely around her, a gentle breeze adding to her extraordinary charm. Her delicate face bore subtle makeup, giving off a charming, mature allure. She was the epitome of a delectable youngdy that made it difficult to shift one’s gaze away.


    Feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Lin Qianru’s face bloomed with a radiant smile. A woman dresses up to please her admirer, for a woman takes great pains to make herself look good in order to catch the eye of her man.


    "Sorry for the dy, Qian Ru. I had some matters to deal with these past few days," Lu Tianxing walked over to Lin Qianru and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close with a hint of remorse in his voice.


    "No problem."


    Lin Qianru gently shook her head. The fact that Lu Tianxing was apanying her to Hang City was more than enough for her to feel content.


    "By the way, how are your parents-inw doing?" Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru got into the nearby BMW and he asked.


    "What parents-inw? I haven’t agreed to marry you yet!" Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a nce and said.


    Lu Tianxing chuckled and reached out to caress Lin Qianru’s beautiful legs, "You have already been devoured by me, marked with mybel. You’ll never escape in this lifetime; you belong to me and only me."


    "In your dreams!"


    Lin Qianru swatted away Lu Tianxing’s hand, annoyed.


    Lu Tianxingughed softly, not dwelling on the subject, and asked, "Qian Ru, have you called home recently, any news from the Tan Family?"


    Hearing this, Lin Qianru’s body trembled slightly as she softly said, "I don’t know. I called home during this time, asking about it, but they wouldn’t tell me the situation in Hang City. Thesest couple of days, I can’t even get through anymore. Tianxing, I’m scared, I’m afraid something might happen to my parents."


    Lin Qianru’s body trembled slightly, and herplexion turned a bit pale. Every time she closed her eyes, it was as if she could see her parents bloodied, standing right in front of her, wishing she could rush back immediately.


    "Don’t worry, I believe they will be fine. And from now on, no one will be able to threaten you anymore," Lu Tianxing consoled Lin Qianru.


    "Mhm."


    Lin Qianru nodded lightly and leaned her head on Lu Tianxing’s shoulder, as though only then could she find a sense of security.


    Lu Tianxing nced at Lin Qianru, a sharp glint shing in his eyes. If something truly happened to Lin Qianru’s parents, he swore he would decimate the Tan Family, leaving no one alive.
