Chapter 105: Xu Lian’s Cause
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Lian knew that Pei Xin was special to Lu Huai. She felt that Pei Xin was too close to Lu Huai, so she teamed up with Lu Li to set up a trap for Ling Lin. She wanted to show Pei Xin her place.
Lu Huai was furious when he heard the news. The gratitude he had for Xu Lian dissipated.
Xu Lian was being too ambitious. He did not like venomous women.
What right did Xu Lian have to treat him as her private property?
Soon, Lu Huai led his men and went to the Xu family’s residence.
When Xu Gang saw that Lu Huai had come personally, he felt like he struck gold. He thought that Lu Huai had come to their house because his daughter had gained Lu Huai’s favor. He was hoping to discuss in detail how to help their family.
Xu Gang went over eagerly. “CEO Lu, you’re here. Xu Lian is still in her room.
I’ll call her down now.”
Lu Huai didn’t sit down. His expression was terrifyingly cold.
At this moment, Xu Gang also noticed that the atmosphere was a little off. It seemed that Lu Huai was not here to help, but to settle scores.
Xu Lian walked down from the second floor, but her face was filled with panic.
“CEO Lu, why are you here? You didn’t tell me in advance that you were coming.” Xu Lian forced a fake smile on her face.
Lu Huai looked at her coldly. “Must be bold to say that right now. Is there a need for me to tell you why I’m here? You helped me six years ago. Originally, 1 would have repaid this favor. But what makes you think that you can possess me just because you helped me? You don’t have the right to hurt others that are close to me. You want my help, but you also want to join hands with Lu Li. In that case, I don’t think the Xu Family needs my help. Why don’t you go to Lu Li instead?”
Xu Lian’s face turned pale because of Lu Huai’s words.
She opened her mouth and tried to explain. “CEO Lu, there must be a misunderstanding. I only wanted to give Pei Xin a small warning. I never wanted to hurt Ling Lin. If Pei Xin couldn’t find Ling Lin, I would have gotten someone to send her a message to help. Besides, that park is near Pei Xin’s house.”
“So you thought you were being merciful with your actions?” Lu Huai curled his lips, but his expression turned colder.
“No! 1 didn’t mean that.” Xu Lian shook her head.
Xu Gang’s eyes darted around. He was picking up what was going on. He quickly went forward and asked Lu Huai fawningly, “CEO Lu, my daughter has done something terribly wrong. I’ll teach her a good lesson later. Do you know what happened? Let’s take some time to calm down.”
Lu Huai did not explain himself. Liu Yan — who was beside him — helped to explain the situation briefly instead.
Xu Gang’s expression changed the longer he listened. He immediately slapped Xu Lian’s face.
“You unfilial daughter! CEO Lu is not someone you can mess with!” Xu Gang scolded Xu Lian angrily.
Xu Lian was stunned. She had never been beaten by her father.
Xu Lian covered her face, her eyes filled with tears. “Dad, why did you hit me?”
Xu Gang’s heart turned cold. “You’ve done something you should never have done. Why can’t I? How can you be so vicious? How could you hurt a five-year-old child?”
More importantly, Xu Lian had joined hands with Lu Li.
Everyone knew that Lu Li and Lu Huai were not on good terms.
Lu Huai was the one who had the power and control of the funds. If the Xu Family wanted to restore their business to its former prosperity, they had to rely on Lu Huai. Lu Li couldn’t solve any problems, he could only cause them.
Anyone would immediately assume that Xu Lian was on Lu Li’s side the moment they cooperated on this matter.
Originally, Lu Huai wanted to repay the Xu family with kindness because of the past. However, because of Xu Lian’s st*pid move, the Xu family had lost the initiative. What was originally reasonable became unreasonable.
Even if Lu Huai did something to the Xu family now, they could not do anything about it.
Moreover, Lu Huai was drugged six years ago. Even if the news of Xu Lian having sex with him spread, no one would blame Lu Huai. They might even think that it was Xu Lian’s honor to sleep with someone like him.
After all, many women had tried to climb into Lu Huai’s bed, but they never had the chance.
The reason why he was so sure that Lu Huai would help the Xu family was because he knew that Lu Huai’s character was guaranteed.
At the same time, Lu Huai’s character also determined that if Xu Lian did a vicious thing, the impression she once had would be instantly shattered..
