When the two female employees saw Lu Huai come out, they quickly left.

Xu Lian couldn’t bear to see this scene. She took the initiative to walk over and asked with a smile on her face, “What is this collaboration that you’re all talking about? Why haven’t I heard of it? May 1 know which company you’re working in right now?”

Xu Lian pretended to be innocent and asked Pei Xin, “1 heard that Lu Li has been finding you and that you were forced to move with your child and left Beijing. Where did you go? Is Lu Li still looking for you? Lu Huai is Lu Li’s brother. If you are in trouble, you can tell him. I’m sure he’ll offer a hand.”

Xu Lian sounded like she was concerned about Pei Xin, but every word seemed to express that she was very close to Lu Huai and that she could promise Pei Xin’s safety on behalf of Lu Huai.

Lu Huai glanced at Xu Lian. “This is between Pei Xin and me. You don’t have to interfere. We are done with our discussion. Ms. Xu, if there’s nothing else to say, you may leave.”

Xu Lian widened her eyes and stared at Lu Huai in a daze.

Lu Huai’s words showed his stance.

Between her and Pei Xin, Lu Huai was obviously more inclined towards Pei Xin.

Xu Lian could not accept this.

“You really don’t want me to interfere in your business?” She could not help but blurt out. “Can you really just pretend that what 1 did six years ago never happened?”

Lu Huai frowned.

He let go of Pei Xin and brought Xu Lian back to the office.

Pei Xin looked at the two disappearing figures, but her heart felt empty.

What happened six years ago? What did Xu Lian mean? Did something happen between her and Lu Huai six years ago?

Could it be that Xu Lian was the one who slept with Lu Huai six years ago?

Pei Xin’s thoughts were in a mess, but she didn’t want to let it get to her. The moment she felt herself spiraling, she left.

In the office, Lu Huai warned Xu Lian. “Don’t forget what you promised me before. You said that you won’t tell anyone about what happened between us. If you break your promise, I won’t take care of your company anymore.”

Xu Lian’s eyes were filled with tears. “Do you really care about Pei Xin? Are the rumors true? Pei Xin isn’t pure. She used to be your brother’s girlfriend. She has another man’s child. Why would you choose to protect Pei Xin rather than try to be with me? In what way am 1 inferior to Pei Xin?”

Lu Huai’s gaze at Xu Lian became colder. “I’ve said it before. I’ll only make up for what I owe you with your family’s company. If you want me to make up for it with my feelings, that will be impossible.”

Xu Lian looked more and more hurt.

“You’re so heartless, Lu Huai. Don’t you have a heart?”

Lu Huai looked at her coldly. “1 have no feelings for you. Don’t force me into a corner.”

Xu Lian couldn’t help but raise her voice. “What are your feelings for Pei Xin?”

“Who are you to question me about this?” Lu Huai asked.

“Xu Lian, I don’t need to remind you of your place. You looked like a lunatic just now. You’re the one who needs my help.”

“It’s true that you’ve helped me before, but if you try to threaten me with this, then my methods to fight back will be far beyond your imagination. Do you think that I can get to where 1 am today without tricks up my own sleeves?”

Being stared down by Lu Huai with such a vicious gaze caused Xu Lian to be afraid for no reason.

She did not dare to fight and subconsciously took a step back.

That’s right, how could she forget that Lu Huai was never someone to be trifled with?

Outside the office, Pei Xin felt as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She was about to leave when she realized that someone was blocking her way.

“Please make way.” She lowered her head, so she couldn’t see the other party’s face.

“Pei Xin, I’ve finally found you.” A familiar male voice sounded.

Pei Xin looked up in panic and saw Lu Li’s magnified face.

Lu Li’s eyes were full of malice as he approached her.

“So, you’ve been under Lu Huai’s protection this whole time. That’s why 1 couldn’t find you. You really know how to choose a man. Where are you staying now? Tell me the address.” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Pei Xin took a step back and said in a panic, “Lu Li, please let Ling Lin and 1 go.

I really won’t bother you anymore.”

When Lu Li heard her mention her son, he lost control of his emotions.

“Am I bothering you? I used to love you so much. Now that you want to abandon me, why should I let you?”

Lu Li grabbed Pei Xin’s wrist..
