Liu Yan had always been smart. He immediately guessed Lu Huai’s motive. He asked, “CEO Lu, do you suspect that something might have happened to the Xu Corporation? Is that why Xu Lian is pretending to be this person?”
“Yes.” Lu Huai nodded.
“I’ll go check it out now,” Liu Yan immediately promised.
If Xu Lian wanted to take credit for her family business, he would not let her off.
Did they really think that CEO Lu could take advantage of anyone?!
“Then tonight’s banquet with Ms. Xu…” Liu Yan asked again.
“I’ll personally see to it,” Lu Huai narrowed his eyes.
Liu Yan went to investigate the situation of the Xu Corporation, while Lu Huai went to the restaurant that Xu Lian had suggested.
At this moment, there were no customers in the restaurant. It seemed to have been fully booked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA girl in a white dress was sitting quietly by the window.
Sensing that someone was coming, the girl looked in Lu Huai’s direction. It was the daughter of the Xu family, Xu Lian.
Lu Huai approached Xu Lian, who stood up nervously.
“Hello, Mr. Lu,” she greeted Lu Huai.
Xu Lian didn’t even dare to look Lu Huai in the eye as she spoke.
She grabbed her clothes nervously.
It wasn’t until she got closer to Lu Huai that Xu Lian realized that this man was far more terrifying than what was shown on television and in the newspapers.
When she looked into his eyes, it was as if the other party could guess her thoughts.
Lu Huai’s first impression of Xu Lian was not disgust, but he definitely did not like her either.
His self-control was usually very strong. Even if he was drugged, he could still control himself.
The reason why he lost control six years ago was partly because he felt very calm when he was with that girl.
He always looked emotionally stable, but in fact, ever since his mother passed away, he always had a sense of impatience. Even under his cold appearance, he was easily irritable.
When he was with that girl six years ago, his heart was exceptionally calm.
Seeing Xu Lian in front of him, he did not feel calm at all.
This state of inner peace was something that could only be felt when he was with Pei Xin.
Perhaps this was the reason why he couldn’t help but protect Pei Xin. To him, Pei Xin was like a medicine that could make him feel at ease.
Looking at Xu Lian’s cowering appearance, she did not seem to have the guts to lie to him.
Lu Huai sat directly across from Xu Lian and decided to check on Xu Lian’s condition.
“Let’s sit down and talk.” Lu Huai said.
Only then did Xu Lian sit down.
“You said you had sex with me six years ago. Do you have any evidence?” Lu Huai asked.
Xu Lian tugged at the corner of her shirt nervously. Even her voice was stuttering. “Six years ago, you were drugged. 1 saved you. At that time, 1 even found a photo in your wallet.”
As she spoke, Xu Lian placed the photo on the table.
It was a photo of a woman holding a boy. It was Lu Huai’s deceased mother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLu Huai took the photo, his expression solemn and nostalgic.
This photo was his.
Six years ago, he didn’t lose his ID and cash, but his photo.
Lu Huai solemnly put the photo back into his wallet.
“Since you have the photo and know that you were the one who saved me six years ago, why did you only come to me now?” He looked at Xu Lian.
Xu Lian lowered her head. “Although 1 helped you six years ago, 1 knew you were still unconscious at that time. I saved you willingly. I can’t make you take responsibility for my actions.”
“What about now?” Lu Huai asked. “Why did you suddenly come looking for me?”
Xu Lian then looked up. “My family’s company is in trouble. My father wants to use me for a business marriage. The other party is almost as old as my father. 1 don’t want to get married.”
Lu Huai frowned slightly. “So, you want me to marry you?”
Xu Lian quickly waved her hand.
“No, I didn’t mean that.
“I just hope that you can help save my father’s company.
“Of course, it would be even better if you could pretend to be my boyfriend. That way, my father would definitely not marry me off to that old man.
“If the company’s current problems are solved, with my father’s management ability, there might be more problems in the future.
“He’s not as young as he used to be, and there are many problems within the company. Father doesn’t let me interfere in the company’s affairs. Even if I want to help, 1 don’t have the rights..”
