However, when she arrived, she realized that the atmosphere was tight. The girl standing next to Lu Huai also looked somewhat familiar.
When she got closer Pei Xin realized that this person was Song Hua — the woman had been competing with her since high school.
Song Hua also noticed Pei Xin. This made Song Hua’s stifled feelings explode.
She pointed at Pei Xin and scolded, “You shameless b*tch! You seduced Lu Li when you were in school. Then you made Lu Li a cuckold. Now you’re seducing Lu Huai. You can’t live without controlling a man, can you? There are so many men in the world. You can be anyone’s lover, but you just have to harm the Lu family. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Are you worthy of being Lu Huai’s wife? The Lu family will never acknowledge you!”
Pei Xin’s hand that was holding the document tightened.
Lu Huai stood quietly in front of Pei Xin, blocking Song Hua’s gaze.
Lu Huai’s face turned even colder. “Pei Xin is my business partner. If you continue to insult her here, there will be consequences.”
Song Hua was so angry that she laughed.
“Who is Pei Xin to you? You’ve never had much contact with her since you were young. We grew up together, and we’re friends! Why are you threatening me just to protect Pei Xin?
“What do you plan to do? Don’t forget that the Lu family has a lot of projects with the Song family. If you fall out with the Song family, your family will also suffer a lot of losses.
“Are you willing to let the project that so many employees have worked so hard on for a few months go down the drain just for Pei Xin?”
Although the people in Lu Huai’s company disliked Song Hua, what Song Hua said was true.
The Song family and the Lu family worked very closely together. Once the cooperation between the two sides was terminated, it would be harmful to both sides.
Pei Xin’s eyes were a little flustered. She quickly explained to Song Hua. “You misunderstood my relationship with Lu Huai. We are only cooperating in business. It’s not what you think.”
Song Hua sneered. “What right do you have to work with Lu Huai? There are so many people in the entire capital who want to work with Lu Huai. Why did he choose you? Do you have a very good academic background? Do you have very high abilities? Do you have very strong funds?”
Pei Xin was stumped by Song Hua’s question.
Although she worked in Jiang Yan’s company, it was true that Jiang Yan’s company could not become a business giant in Beijing.
In order not to be discovered by Shen Mu, the company’s development speed was relatively slow.
Seeing that Pei Xin did not speak up, Song Hua knew that she had won.
She turned to Lu Huai and said earnestly, “I came to you today to remind you not to delay important matters because of love. You have always been the most rational person, why did you have to fall for Pei Xin?
“If she was the same person as she was six years ago, then I’ll accept it. What value does she have to you now? You know how 1 feel about you. Our parents have chosen our future for us.
“If you tell me now that you want Pei Xin to be your wife, then you just want to humiliate me.
“You are saying that 1, Song Hua, have actually lost to such a filthy woman.”
Lu Huai’s face darkened. Although he didn’t say anything, everyone around him could feel the low pressure.
Pei Xin wanted to explain, but no matter what she said, Song Hua would not listen.
She only felt that all of this was her doing.
Lu Huai let out a low chuckle and smiled.
Song Hua was baffled by this smile.
“What are you laughing at?” she asked.
Lu Huai looked at him.
“I think you’ve misunderstood something. I never wanted to marry you.
“You’re right about one thing. We grew up together.
“Have you ever thought about why I haven’t shown any goodwill to you and haven’t contacted you since you confessed to me a long time ago?”
Song Hua’s face turned pale.
“Are you going to humiliate me like this for Pei Xin in front of so many people?” She clenched her fists tightly. “1 don’t believe it. You never showed interest in anyone. I was the only one you would allow to sit next to in school..”
