Chapter 113 Cherish life and stay away from scumbags!

Lin Beifan looked unfazed.

"This woman is so cruel, she even pierced the doll's stomach and broke its head! Just because I ignored her for a bit, is that reason to be so vicious?"

The groundbreaking ceremony soon ended.

Lin Beifan had left beforehand, and as the host, Chu Ruoxue once again entertained Leng Qingyue.

"Thank you Mr. Chu for your hospitality!" Leng Qingyue said with a warm smile.

She felt attending the ceremony was very worthwhile, because she met an extremely interesting and talented man who resonated with her emotionally.

The other party seemed to understand her innermost desires, someone she could confide in.

Discussing that day left her feeling quite comfortable.

"You're welcome, it should be me thanking you for bringing us such enthusiasm!" Chu Ruoxue smiled.

As the world's top female star, Leng Qingyue commanded an immense fanbase and popularity.

Therefore, Chu Ruoxue made great efforts to invite her.

Now it seemed very successful, with the event receiving overwhelming publicity known nationwide.

"By the way, there is something I want to caution you about!"

"What's the matter?"

"The man sitting next to you today is named Lin Beifan. He is actually a playboy and a super scoundrel. Don't be fooled by his flattering words!"

Leng Qingyue was surprised: "He's actually a playboy?"

"Can't you tell?" Chu Ruoxue sneered. "He's very well-known in our circles. You can ask around! When I was very young, he spent all his time at nightclubs getting wasted - that was his life for over two years!"

"Ah! Thank you Mr. Chu for the warning!" Leng Qingyue nodded.

She really couldn't associate such a talented young man with the playboy lifestyle.

How could someone so gifted and well-mannered wallow in the excesses of wine and women all day?

However, since Chu Ruoxue stated it so definitively, it didn't seem like a lie.

So, she decided to investigate further.

"You're welcome! Cherish your life and stay away from scoundrels!" Chu Ruoxue said seriously.

Watching Leng Qingyue's departing figure, Chu Ruoxue secretly felt smug.

"Lin Beifan, let's see how you chase after the elusive Leng Qingyue now!"

On the other hand, after returning home, Leng Qingyue immediately used her family's resources to investigate Lin Beifan's situation.

The findings aligned with what Chu Ruoxue described.

Two months ago, Lin Beifan was indeed a notorious playboy and scoundrel, spending nights binging at bars to drunken excess. Everyone shook their heads seeing his behavior.

But two months later, he had completely transformed.

Rarely going to bars, and even if he did, he didn't drink or solicit women.

Putting all his focus into work instead.

In just two months, Lin's investment company was operating in an orderly manner, with its asset scale expanding several times over.

Now, it had also partnered with the Belvedere Group to develop a plot of land.

Perfectly staging the drama of a prodigal son's return!

And in life and work, he treated friends and colleagues with warmth.

For instance, if a stranger was hospitalized with a broken bone, he would often visit them.

After one bodyguard in the company displayed talent, Lin quickly promoted him to an important role and rewarded him generously. Later when that employee required hospitalization, Lin visited frequently and showed great concern.

There was another case of a cleaner whom Lin swiftly promoted and even helped find love.

After reviewing this data, Leng Qingyue was stunned.

It was him - dazzlingly talented!

It was him - overflowing with sentiment!

It was him - helpful and caring to loved ones!

He seemed to have many faces, each one genuine!

"What kind of person is this?" Leng Qingyue was puzzled, becoming even more curious about Lin Beifan.

Why did someone change so drastically in just two months?

Recalling the sorrowful words he wrote, every one laced with heartache.

Leng Qingyue's heart stirred, her mind formulating a theory: "Could it be...he was previously wounded by love? Causing him to give up on himself and wallow in dissipation. But now, having gained clarity, the prodigal son returned determined to persevere?"

"Yes! It must be so!

"Otherwise, how could he pen such moving verses?

"Only through shared experience can one capture those depths!

"Only having been hurt can one know such truth!"

The more Leng Qingyue contemplated it, the more excited she became, her face flushing.

If Lin Beifan were merely a playboy, it wouldn't pique her interest.

If he were just a talented person, she'd only regard him highly.

However, Lin Beifan was a talented playboy.

Moreover, his wanton behavior stemmed from heartbreak - an understandable lapse.

And in the end, the prodigal son repented, regaining his footing and excelling once more.

As a literary young woman, this was exactly the type of male lead she adored!

So much pathos and storytelling!

So captivating!

However, everything was mere speculation needing confirmation.

So, she couldn't wait to grab her phone and send a WeChat message.

Leng Qingyue: I heard you used to be a playboy who went clubbing at night, is that right?

Lin Beifan responded quickly.

Lin Beifan: Yes!

Leng Qingyue was very surprised, not expecting him to admit it so readily.

In such a situation, if he were truly a scoundrel, even while acknowledging it, he would make excuses to justify his 'scoundrel' ways - never confessing so cleanly as Lin Beifan did.

Her goodwill towards him increased slightly.

Leng Qingyue: Then why don't you go anymore?

Lin Beifan: I feel it's boring, a waste of time. I should be doing something meaningful!

Leng Qingyue: What is a meaningful thing?

Lin Beifan: Many things - to make myself happy, put my family at ease, make my friends joyful, and cause my enemies misery! Anyway, it's about striving to be good and working hard!

Leng Qingyue nodded inwardly, just as expected - the prodigal son's return.

Only someone with actual experience could speak such simple yet sage words.

Leng Qingyue: By the way, if you don't mind me asking, have you been hurt by love before?

Lin Beifan: It's all in the past, let's forget it!

Leng Qingyue: Sorry!

Leng Qingyue fell silent inwardly.

Although Lin Beifan emerged from his past emotional trauma, he was still affected, hence his reluctance to discuss it.

As someone sentimental herself, she didn't want to probe further into emotional wounds.

At this point, her conjecture was basically confirmed.

This was a handsome, wealthy man!

This was a supremely talented person!

This was a man with a compelling story!

This was a fascinating individual!

This was a man who perfectly embodied all her fantasies!

At that moment, Leng Qingyue's heart was moved!
