Female lead's Delusion of Starting Over-Chapter 44 - Bring Your Sister and Beg Lu Li for Forgiveness

Lu Corporation’s actions were swift and fierce, with an overwhelming momentum. In just one day, the massive Zhao Corporation was already on the verge of collapse.

The meticulous preparations and the exposure of so much incriminating evidence all at once made people wonder if Lu Corporation had been planning to act against Zhao Corporation for a long time.

Ye Chen’s face was exceptionally unsightly. Although Zhao Corporation’s scale was not large and not his ideal partner, nor could it act as his entry glove into the domestic market, it was still his only supporter. Lu Li was clearly determined to go against him!

A thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Ye Chen’s return to the country had been completely contrary to his expectations. Zhang Ziqin refused to cooperate, Tianlong Enterprise still hadn’t touched the domestic market, his power couldn’t be mobilized, otherwise, how could a second-generation rich kid like Lu Li, who only relied on his family background, catch his eye.

Liu Menghan and Cao Yingying, these two women, for some insane reason, actually chose to stand by Lu Li’s side.

Everything seemed to be opposing him.

Zhao Shaotian and his son were completely at their wits’ end, facing complete defeat in the stock market, continuous troubles from the public, and even official intervention in this matter.

“What exactly does Lu Li want before he is willing to let go? We’ve already let him make so much money, isn’t that enough?” Zhao Shaotian lost the dashing appearance he had at the Cao family banquet just yesterday, his messy hair showing his irritability.

“Hehe, you still don’t understand, do you? Lu Li doesn’t want money; he wants Zhao Corporation completely ruined.” Zhao Shaotian’s father said somberly.

Even at over fifty, having experienced life’s ups and downs, the imminent ruin of his life’s work still left him in a sorry state.

“Why, just because I wanted him to buy a worthless piece of land, or because I mocked him at a banquet?” Zhao Shaotian yelled uncontrollably.

“Isn’t that enough?” Zhao Shaotian’s father retorted.

“…” Zhao Shaotian’s expression froze.

“You thought the little tricks you played before were ignored because, firstly, our Zhao family has some status in Hangzhou, and secondly, they wouldn’t make a big fuss over small issues. But now you’ve offended the Lu family, Lu Li, who needs prestige.”

“Father, what should we do now?” Zhao Shaotian trembled, scared.

He couldn’t bear the consequences of Zhao Corporation’s bankruptcy.

“Bring your sister to the Lu family. Beg Lu Li for forgiveness, and then… leave it to fate.”

“Father, are you suggesting…” Zhao Shaotian was shocked.

“Just do it!”

“…Yes!”

“What, you all want to apologize to Lu Li together? No, I disagree.” Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with rage. If it was just an apology, Zhao Shaotian going alone would suffice. Insisting on bringing Zhao Lu clearly meant offering her to Lu Li as a plea for forgiveness!

Ye Chen had his eye on the sexy and fiery Zhao Lu, and now the woman he fancied was supposed to humble herself before Lu Li, even possibly offering herself in plea, how could Ye Chen not be furious.

“Hehe, since when did my affairs become your concern?” Zhao Lu said mockingly, looking at Ye Chen with disdain.

She felt desolate for herself. The sins made by her brother, Zhao Shaotian, ultimately required her to pay the price in hopes of a sliver of survival.

“A freeloader, someone who only brings shame in front of everyone, when did you get to decide my comings and goings?” Zhao Lu’s heart suddenly surged with anger and hatred as she glared at the two men before her.

Ye Chen’s face darkened. Faced with Zhao Lu’s humiliation, he couldn’t come up with any retort.

His Tianlong organization was still abroad and couldn’t even establish a foothold domestically. Even if he wanted to help, he didn’t know how to start. Right now, he was all alone.

“Heh!” With a look of disdain at the two men, Zhao Lu coldly said, “Let’s go, I still need to go seduce General Manager Lu Li. If it’s too late, your Zhao Corporation will be gone.”

Her words left Zhao Shaotian with no place to hide, unable to meet his sister’s icy gaze.

Her words were like a knife stabbing into Zhao Shaotian’s heart.

Ye Chen clenched his teeth, murderous intent filling his body, wishing he could confront Lu Li right now. But the last bit of rationality told him that doing so wouldn’t benefit him in any way.

Was he really going to watch Zhao Lu, this fiery woman, throw herself into Lu Li’s arms?

Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with rage.

“No, this absolutely cannot happen. It’s still not too late. Lu Li absolutely cannot lay a finger on Zhao Lu.”

The woman he coveted, how could he allow another man to touch her? Just the thought of Zhao Lu blushing in Lu Li’s arms, Ye Chen couldn’t accept it.

He took out his phone and dialed an international number.

“Hello, who is it? So late at night, don’t you know sleep is a woman’s greatest enemy? Speak quickly if you have something to say.” A drowsy voice laced with a hint of allure answered.

“It’s me, Ameng!” Ye Chen’s heart warmed, somewhat embarrassedly said.

“Oh, what’s up? Speak quickly, I’m going back to sleep! It’s late at night here, ever heard of jet lag?” The alluring voice carried a hint of leisure.

“Can you come back to the country for a bit? I need your help with something.” He said apologetically.

“Oh, does someone need me to kill them? How much is the pay?” The voice on the other end perked up.

“Don’t worry, when have I ever shortchanged you.” Ye Chen’s face broke into a smile; after so many years, this girl was still as money-obsessed as ever.

“Got it, got it, prepare my pay, I’m coming back right away.”

“Great, when you’re back, come to this address to find me.” Ye Chen said, giving the address to Ameng on the other end.
