Lu Li got out of the car and then walked to the passenger side to open the door, extending his hand. Soon, a delicate, fair hand was placed on Lu Liâs, and a pair of sky-blue high heels and jade-like legs emerged from the car door. A stunning figure stepped out of the car with Lu Liâs assistance.
Her skin was creamy, and she wore a striking silver-white dress that complimented her still youthful figure, giving her an appropriately sublime appearance. Her eyes, clear as autumn waters, looked somewhat nervous as she gripped Lu Liâs hand a bit too tightly.
Surrounded by dignitaries, she was just an ordinary employeeâŠ
âHey, itâs really something else, me, the boss, actually serving my employee. You feeling honored? Want me to light up your ancestral grave too?â Lu Li raised an eyebrow, looking at Chen Xiaoyi with a teasing remark.
ââŠâ Chen Xiaoyi gave Lu Li a reproachful look. Even at a time like this, this bad guy was still joking with her.
âLu Li is always so gentle, always able to see when Iâm nervous, using humor to ease the tension. So warm!â she thought foolishly, seeing a gentle affection in Lu Liâs gaze.
For a moment, Chen Xiaoyi felt as if she wasnât so nervous anymore.
âSo, this is Lu Li!â Ye Chen squinted his eyes. The recent happenings between Lu Li and Zhang Ziqin had spread throughout Hangzhou!
Looking at Lu Li holding hands with Chen Xiaoyi, for some reason, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable irritation rise within him, as if something that should belong to him was taken by Lu Li.
An unnamed flame seemed to burn in his heart.
Zhang Ziqin tried to keep herself calm, holding back the tears that threatened to fall, maintaining her usual cold demeanor.
âLu Li no longer likes me. I canât do anything that she would dislike.â She admonished herself internally.
Forcing a smile, she stepped forward: âLu Li, youâre here. Letâs go in together!â
Once, Lu Li would wait for her like this for any minor or major banquet, but she never gave him a good look. Now, it was her turn.
Only by truly experiencing it did she understand how Lu Li must have felt back then.
Chen Xiaoyi, worried, gripped Lu Liâs arm tighter. She had no good feelings towards Zhang Ziqin, who had hurt Lu Li repeatedly.
Taking from Lu Li, yet treating such a good man as a tool.
This is a bad woman.
âMiss Zhang, I think Iâve made myself very clear! What, your lapdog ran away, and you couldnât help but want to chase him back?â
With a hint of mockery, Lu Liâs expression turned a bit cold.
âNo⊠no, I never saw you as a lapdog. I just, justâŠâ Struggling to smile, hearing Lu Li refer to himself that way, she couldnât help but feel more heartache.
Everyone saw Lu Li as a lapdog, but he was the only one who tirelessly pursued her for so many years, including the previous life, even longer. All because of her!
âEnough, Miss Zhang. Why deceive yourself? Havenât you always treated me as your faithful hound? I admit I pursued you before, but now I donât want to anymore, is that not alright? I think I made myself very clear last time. Also, weâre not that close, please donât directly address me by my name,â Lu Li scoffed internally.
Putting on such a pitiful act for whom to see? Itâs just that I used to always be by her side, attending to her every need, and now that Iâve suddenly stopped and forcibly terminated our cooperation, this woman panics, wanting to pull me back.
Zhang Ziqinâs current actions only disgust Lu Li. Only her despair could make Lu Li happy.
Thinking of his past self, Lu Li found it laughable, actually hoping to move this woman one day, to change his fate.
âItâs not like that, not like that, Lu Li, listen to meâŠâ
Zhang Ziqin wanted to explain, but Lu Li had no time to discuss anything here, walking past her with Chen Xiaoyi.
Seeing Zhang Ziqin in pain didnât bring Lu Li pleasure. He didnât want her crocodile tears; what Lu Li envisioned was far more ruthless than Zhang Ziqinâs current demeanor.
Stepping back to be forgotten, such an idea is nonsense to Lu Li.
âSeems like the unilateral termination of cooperation by Lu Corporation has a bigger impact on Zhang Corporation than I imagined!â Ye Chen darkly thought.
Looking at the distant, desolate figure of Zhang Ziqin, Ye Chenâs eyes flashed with eagerness. His desire to possess her wasnât new.
In his eyes, Zhang Ziqin must be somewhat unable to let go because her lapdog had stopped licking her, coupled with the difficulties faced by Lu Corporation, leading her to make such an irrational move.
Otherwise, could Zhang Ziqin fall for Lu Li, that waste? Haha, donât joke.
âTsk tsk, such a beauty was never suitable for that waste Lu Li. Only a man like me is worthy of her.â
With a sly grin, the perfect time for him to offer his concern was now; women would be moved immediately.
Approaching, Ye Chen looked earnestly at Zhang Ziqin, âMiss Zhang, you remember me, right? Iâm Ye Chen, we met at the Zhang familyâs banquet before.â
But Zhang Ziqin didnât respond, just blankly watched Lu Li and Chen Xiaoyi walk away, experiencing the pain once again.
So, seeing the person you love with someone else hurts so much!
Like a knife cutting oneâs heart repeatedly.
What did I do in my past life!!!
âMiss Zhang, Lu Li doesnât care about you, even bringing another woman in front of you, truly heartless. Why bother feeling sad for him? Itâs not worth it! If you want to get back at him, why not use his method? Hold my hand, and weâll show him. He will definitely regret it, realizing your importance in his heart.â Ye Chen didnât care, continuing with his vile thoughts.
âAlso, we can talk about cooperation. Collaborating with my Dragonfly Group will bring far greater benefits than with Lu Corporation.â
Giving an excuse, a reason, women in turmoil easily fall for it, especially when their vengeance rises, needing just an excuse like âthis is just a test for himâ to act, Ye Chen was confident.
Once Zhang Ziqin does this, she and Lu Li would be completely cut off, and Ye Chen wouldnât allow his designated woman to still pine for another man.
He really wanted Lu Li to see the woman he once loved fall into his arms!
