Chapter 9 Be the Path Beneath Her Feet

• Liang Yimo felt that it was truly unjust for her to be targeted over nothing.
• When she finished packing her things and was about to leave the company, the team leader, Yang Yang, kindly came over to bid her farewell.
• “Yimo, I heard that the new female boss of our company is called Su Manxue. Do you think that she’s your best friend?”
• Before leaving, Yang Yang, leaned closer to her ear and whispered some gossip.
• Pausing for a while, Liang Yimo then smiled calmly. “No matter if it’s her or not, it has nothing to do with me now.”
• “Alright. Do your best and don’t give up!” Yang Yang grinned and made a cheering gesture to Liang Yimo with his fist.
• Liang Yimo nodded and smiled.
• That moment was the most awkward and pathetic moment for her.
• She finally landed a paid internship after lots of hard work, but unexpectedly, it ended so soon.
• Turning back to look at her company, Liang Yimo suddenly felt a tinge of reluctance to leave.
• This was the first place she worked at after she officially stepped into society.
• Meanwhile, in a deep forest, Leng Yechen was pitching his tent. Ignoring his wounds, he was still dealing with his enemies.
• ‘Young Mistress Su only likes expensive things such as high-end makeup products, jewelry, branded clothes, branded bags and branded heels!’ Mr. Liu wrote.
• Reading the message from Mr. Liu, Leng Yechen couldn’t help but scoff.
• After that night, Leng Yechen thought that Su Manxue would be someone special. To his disappointment, she was just an ordinary woman.
• Sigh, forget it. There was nothing he could do even if she was ordinary. After all, she was the woman he chose, and the woman he fell in love willingly, so who was he to blame others?
• At worst, after he retired from the army, he would just be in charge of earning money to support his family while all Su Manxue had to do was be pretty.
• “Fourth Young Master, what kind of method will Eagles use for their next smuggling activities?” Han Jianfeng asked, pulling Leng Yechen back to reality.
• Leng Yechen kept his phone and pointed at a river on the map with one finger while answering firmly, “Eagles will definitely choose this river to transport their stuff by water. But, he will also choose this overland route as a decoy.”
• His judgement had never been wrong.
• The only mistake in his judgement was that woman!
• Leng Yechen initially planned to buy Su Manxue a special present which she liked after he returned from his mission. That was why he asked Mr. Liu about her preference.
• Since Su Manxue liked those extremely common luxury goods, Leng Yechen felt that he might as well give her an unlimited credit card.
• So after Mr. Liu received Leng Yechen’s order, he signed up for a credit card and gave it to Su Manxue. Holding that card, she squealed several times out of joy and excitement.
• Beside herself with delight, she hugged Mr. Liu, completely losing her poise as a distinguished Young Mistress.
• Feeling awkward because of Su Manxue’s response, Mr. Liu couldn’t help but turn up his nose. For some reason, he started to detest Su Manxue.
• This kind of materialistic woman was not worthy of his Young Master at all!
• Since Su Manxue became wealthy, she soon established her status among the notable figures in Coastal City. She even befriended several daughters of rich families as well as wealthy dandies.
• With her extended connections, she spent money like water, and she felt like everything was going her way.
• However, she just couldn’t get over the thorn in her heart, Liang Yimo, and she was dying to eliminate her!
• That was right. She mustn’t let Liang Yimo stay in Coastal City because she was her stumbling stone!
• She must crush this stone and pave a smooth rock path beneath her feet.
• A ferocious glint shone in Su Manxue’s eyes, and her red lips curved into an evil smile.
• It was hard to live in Coastal City, especially for students with a college diploma such as Liang Yimo, and it was even harder to find a job.
• However, she couldn’t understand why the interviewers of the companies she applied for lately would reject her without even looking at her resume once they heard her name.
• She felt like she had been sabotaged by someone behind the curtains.
• Liang Yimo thought that her imagination was running wild. After all, she wasn’t a celebrity, and she had never offended anyone. Why would she be sabotaged by someone?
• Looking at her reflection on the display window beside the street, Liang Yimo suddenly felt that she was pathetic.
• In this world, was there someone like her who dreamed of succeeding in the big city, trying to be a cut above the rest, yet was helplessly shattered by cruel reality?
• For the next few days, Liang Yimo buffeted from pillar to post. Not only did she not find a job, she was even slapped with an increment in her rent by her landlord when she got back to her rented apartment.
• Since she was fired from her company, she still failed to land a job after shuttling back and forth for a month. The savings in her bank account had been reduced to almost none, so she didn’t have any extra money to pay her rent in advance.
• Left with no choice, Liang Yimo decided to move out and find a room nearby He Mingxu’s university to stay in before continuing to find a job.
• In Coastal City, there was the city center as well as its counties.
• Liang Yimo’s boyfriend’s university was located in one of the counties. Traveling by bus from the city center, she had to make three transits, and it was two and a half hours before she finally arrived.
• When Liang Yimo dragged her luggage off the bus and stood in front of Coastal University’s entrance, the sky was already dark.
• The male dorm closed at 10 p.m.. Liang Yimo didn’t call He Mingxu beforehand and just headed there directly.
• She knew where He Mingxu’s dorm was. In the past, she would come over to do her boyfriend’s laundry if she was free every weekend. As a consequence, the lady dorm keeper could even recognize her.
• He Mingxu’s three other roommates also knew Liang Yimo. They were friendly to her and treated her like their sister.
• When Liang Yimo pulled her luggage and arrived in front of He Mingxu’s dorm door, the three boys immediately abandoned their games after noticing her. They gathered around and helped her with her luggage, pulled over a stool for her to sit and poured some water for her. They welcomed her warmly.
• Actually, whenever she visited, she did not only wash He Mingxu’s clothes. She even washed his three other roommates' clothes under his request and cleaned their dorm until it was spotless.
• At that moment, Zhang Haichang, who had a coconut haircut and tanned skin, proactively came over and carried Liang Yimo’s luggage.
