Chapitre 12: Could she trust their relationship?
Her sister paused as that smile must have succeeded in making her heart flutter like it was meant to.
"You are not joking, right?" she had to ask her sister as she could not believe it. She was busy making a list of men she thought could stand on her sister's side for a fake relationship to protect her.
She knew the warning her sister was given and she wanted her sister to be with a man even if the relationship is not serious at all.
She was not sure if it would work but she wanted to do something to help her sister since she could not beat up the man behind it all.
None of the men on her list were as eligible as the man sitting close to her sister. this man was the brother of her sister's boss and he was rich as well as handsome.
If he was a womanizer, she would have kicked him out of the room with a pillow since she did not want to harm a man that powerful or more like she could not harm him.
However, he was known as the second most eligible bachelor in the country after the man she still hates who was behind all these.
Looking at her sister and the man, she had to say that they will have very beautiful children together.
"Ruoruo, what are you thinking about?" Lin Jing had to ask her sister when she saw that healthy pink tint on her sister's cheeks and that dreamy look in her eyes.
"Nothing," Ruoruo snapped and further blushed as she avoided her sister's gaze. "I will leave you two together then." As she walked out of the room, she paused at the door for a few seconds to look at the man that had become her sister's fiancé and her future brother-in-law.
It was not bad at all but she did not know if she could trust the man as many other men had mistreated her sister because she did not come from a wealthy home like them but she wanted to trust that her sister's friend would not sit by and watch her get mistreated although it will be her biggest responsibility to look after sister just like her sister as always done.

"Do you love him?" Ruoruo asked when they finally got time to be alone.
"No, I do not," Lin Jing did not hesitate to tell her sister the truth because she did not want her sister to worry about her too much.
As she expected, Ruoruo sighed in relief and hugged her sister. "You must not love him until you can trust him. Do you remember what that man did to you?"
She shook her head as she tried without avail to keep moisture away from her eyes. "I do. It is all contractual and we have what we hope to gain from the relationship so no one will be hurt."
"I researched him and he has something to do with being abusive. I will trust that they are only rumors and they are not solid."
"I will trust that for now. It is not solid, to begin with, and when the time comes and the person that hurt me forgets that I was with that man, everything will return to normal. It is better than breaking the heart of an innocent man when I want to break up."
Her sister moved back and narrowed her eyes at her sister.
"Why do you look at me like that? I am not a criminal okay?"
"You just sounded so cold-hearted like an ice queen," her sister shook her head and replied.
"I always sound cool, you should know that," she told her sister without bothering to be humble.
*************
Six months was what she needed to fully recover and she got her six months off from work and her fiancé had cleared off all the rumors they had to say about her on social media.
The footage of her abduction was shared and the story was about how she was mistaken for someone else. It was not so believable but the thing about social media is that you could easily move people's minds about it with the right method of persuasion as well as petty evidence.
Mr. Shen had his company PR team handle most of it as he gave the head of the department the job to do personally. The woman knew what it meant to be given such a job by the CEO himself and she wanted to leave a good impression.
He also called her to his office to thank her when everything was taken care of and his fiancé was seen as the innocent victim, she was by the same masses who had claimed she sold her body for money.
When Lin Jing read what they had to say about her as their anger and jealousy were directed towards someone else, she could not but shake her head.
You might ask her why she chose to be a social media influencer as a few people have been opportune to ask her and she will reply as always that it was something she had to do.
Are you wondering why? She had to be known on social media with the more than one million followers she had on the social media platforms she joined with her face and identity because that was the only way she could be what she wants without getting suspected.
The whole world knew only what she wanted them to know about her and what she wanted to keep hidden was kept hidden.
She glanced at her sister who had been staying at her place since she got injured to take care of her.
"You are not going to tell him about the injury, right?" Ruoruo asked worriedly.
"Could you try to be a little less worried? Your brows are always furrowed and you won't look as beautiful as I am when you are my age if you don't stop," she warned her sister who gave her a constipated look and gulped down all the content of her cup of juice.
"I am worried about you. I wish you would not do anything to make me so worried about you but that is impossible right?"
She looked down to avoid her sister's gaze and to prevent her sister from seeing the pained look she had in her eyes.
"Did he come to visit you?" Ruoruo asked her sister with the disdain she felt towards that person so evident in her voice.
"I warned you to stay out of my business!" Lin Jing screamed as she threw the glass of juice on the floor in anger.
