If he forgave Pei Xin, he would not have so much hatred and unwillingness to let her go.
Lu Li took a deep breath. He asked Pei Xin with a grim face, “Is Ling Lin’s father Li Ze?”
“No.” Pei Xin said directly.
Lu Li didn’t know what to feel when he heard the answer. He seemed relieved.
Lu Huai also raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw his brother’s actions.
Even though Lu Li came looking for him directly, Lu Huai was still suspicious as to why he was here. He must have been convinced that Li Ze was Ling Lin’s father.
However, Lu Huai knew that Pei Xin would not lie about such matters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBased on the time he spent here, he could tell that Pei Xin and Jiang Yan had a good relationship. If Li Ze was really Ling Lin’s father, as Li Ze’s fiance, it would have been impossible for Jiang Yan to get along so well with Pei Xin.
“Then who is the father?” Lu Li asked, still staring at Pei Xin.
Pei Xin looked straight at him. “I’m looking for Ling Lin’s father too. I’ve told you many times, 1 don’t know.”
Lu Huai waved at the bodyguards behind him and someone immediately came over to take Lu Li away.
“W-what are you doing?” Lu Li struggled to look at Lu Huai.
Lu Huai impatiently explained. “As the head of the Lu family, 1 will not allow you to make any more mistakes. Go back home right now and reflect on your mistakes.”
He gestured with his chin and the bodyguards took Lu Li away.
Lu Li kept struggling, but his strength was no match for the bodyguards.
Without Lu Li’s interruption, the atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious.
Lu Huai looked at Pei Xin. “As of now, 1 will stay with you till you complete the project in Haicheng. After you’re done with this, come back to the capital with me.”
Pei Xin didn’t dare to look Lu Huai in the eye and only nodded.
Then, Lu Huai left with his men and took Li Ze with him.
After all the commotion, Jiang Yan drove Pei Xin home.
On the way, Jiang Yan asked Pei Xin, “You and Lu Huai seem to have a good relationship. It looks like the two of you have met up a few times before. Lu Huai is a scheming person. He’s even more terrifying than Li Ze. I can easily read Li Ze’s mind, but I never know what Lu Huai is thinking. Although I don’t know what he said to you to make you agree to follow him back to the capital, 1 have to remind you to be careful when you interact with him. Be careful not to be used by him.”
Pei Xin nodded. She knew that Jiang Yan had good intentions. She looked at Jiang Yan and said sincerely, “1 know. Thank you for taking care of me. 1 will do my best to complete this project well.”
Jiang Yan winked playfully. “It’s okay. Even if you don’t do a good job on this project, 1’11 continue to give you opportunities to make up for it.”
“What do you mean?” Pei Xin looked at Jiang Yan in astonishment.
“Lu Huai has power in Haicheng, but so do I.” Jiang Yan smiled.
“Even if you return to the capital, I hope you can work in my company as my trusted aide and help me supervise everything in the company. Don’t worry, our company is well-educated. No one will look down on you because of your past.”
Pei Xin was so touched that she did not know what to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why are you being so nice to me?” She looked at Jiang Yan in a daze.
She had always wanted to ask this question.
According to the situation they were in, even if Jiang Yan did want to target her, she knew Pei Xian wouldn’t be able to fight back.
After Jiang Yan found out about her past experience, Jiang Yan decided to help her instead.
Jiang Yan’s care for her was far better than Li Ze’s. Li Ze just wanted her to be his canary. Li Ze’s love was the kind of love that came with restraints.
Jiang Yan was different.
That was because Jiang Yan could understand her point of view and empathize with her experiences.
She focused on nurturing Pei Xin’s abilities, allowing Pei Xin to have opportunities to take charge of certain tasks.
She had even encouraged Pei Xin many times and acknowledged her work.
This was what truly made Pei Xin comfortable.
“Actually, I had a sister before. A biological sister.” Jiang Yan’s smile turned a
little sad. “She’s five years older than me and had a childhood sweetheart..”
