Faced with the accusation, Pei Xin looked puzzled. “Miss Xu, I don’t understand what you’re saying. 1 still have work to do. Goodbye.”

“Where are you going?! If you don’t make things clear today, 1 won’t let you leave!!” Xu Lian reached out and grabbed her arm. “Lu Huai’s collaboration with our family was going well. Why did he cancel all the collaborations? You must have said something! If not, why would we be suffering right now?!”

Xu Lian knew that Lu Huai was a man of his word and a true gentleman.

Since he had said that he would help the Xu family, he rarely went back on his word.

It was clear that Lu Huai did not intend to continue working with them. The Xu family could not afford such a setback.

“Miss Xu, I’ve said what I said. I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Pei Xin pulled her hand down forcefully. “If you think there’s something wrong, you can go to him instead. Besides, have you forgotten that I’m not an employee of the Lu Corporation? I have nothing to do with the Lu Corporation’s decisions.”

She was about to leave when Xu Lian grabbed her hair. “You b*tch, this is all your fault. If it weren’t for you, Lu Huai wouldn’t have done this to me. It’s all because of you!”

Pei Xin had learned how to fight back when she had been beaten up in prison for many years. Almost subconsciously, she leaned back with Xu Lian’s strength. Then, she reached out and grabbed Xu Lian’s wrist, forcefully twisting her pinky.

“All! Pei Xin, are you crazy? Let me go!” Xu Lian had never experienced getting attacked before. Pei Xin retaliated so hard that tears came out.

Pei Xin took the opportunity to let go, and Xu Lian fell to the ground due to inertia. “How dare you push me! 1 will sue you!”

Pei Xin didn’t want to continue pestering her.

Thinking about Sun Jin’s investigation, perhaps she wasn’t the only one who had an accident that day. Xu Lian and Lu Huai might have had something going on that day as well. Otherwise, with Lu Huai’s methods, he would not have been led astray by this woman.

“Miss Xu, 1 truly don’t know what’s going on between you and CEO Lu.” Pei Xin suppressed the frustration in her heart. “I’ve said it before. I can’t control CEO Lu to do anything. I’m not a member of the Lu Corporation.”

“Of course, you can’t make the decision!” Xu Lian looked at her angrily. “You’re not that special! You’ll never be the boss of the Lu Corporation, and don’t even think about the Xu family.”

Looking at Xu Lian’s accusatory look, Pei Xin started to tire out from the argument.

Perhaps Xu Lian had a way of becoming Mrs. Lu, but Pei Xin did not care about her plans.

She nodded at Xu Lian. “If that’s the case, tell CEO Lu what you want to say. 1’11 take my leave.”

Pei Xin left with a cold expression. The people who were watching the show quickly made way for her.

There were many office buildings around them, and the two little beauties had attracted many people. Some even took out their phones to record the scene.

“Whoever dares to record or take photos, the Lu Corporation will see to it that you will not be let off.” Lu Huai’s cold voice rang out, causing everyone to shiver.

They had been too busy watching the show just now, so no one had seen when he arrived.

When Xu Lian saw him, she immediately revealed an aggrieved expression.

“Pei Xin bullied me. Help me!”

She knew that Lu Hai had no love for her, but based on the little bit of affection they had back then, Lu Huai would probably protect her instead of Pei Xin.

She assumed that Lu Huai had just arrived. Otherwise, he would have said something to stop them just now.

Before she could step forward, Lu Huai sneered at her. “Why should I help you?”

“W-what did you say?” Xu Lian was a little confused and did not understand what Lu Huai meant.

“Why should I help you?” Lu Huai’s lips curled into a beautiful smile, but his eyes were cold. “Why don’t you tell us in front of everyone what happened?”

When Lu Huai came over, many people had already left tactfully. However, a few people were still waiting to watch the show, so Lu Huai did not chase them away.

“D-didn’t you say that you would help me?” Xu Lian suddenly felt a little wronged. “Why didn’t you continue working with the Xu family? This was what we had agreed on before. You helped the Xu family get through this crisis, and it’s considered returning the favor I did back then. 1 didn’t ask for anything else. Why did you go back on your word?”

“What favor?” Lu Huai smiled.

Liu Yan could not help but shiver. Other than smiling sincerely at Pei Xin, CEO Lu’s usual smiles were fatal.

As expected, Lu Huai’s next sentence scared Xu Lian silly.. “For helping me up?”
