Lu Li stared at him in disbelief.
There were many people working in the departments nearby, but Lu Huai did not care and exposed his and his mother’s dirty laundry in public.
Lu Huai did not lower his voice when he said this, so everyone in the company heard him.
When Lu Li had made things difficult for Pei Xin, some people had already been unhappy with him. Now that they heard about Lu Li’s identity, they were even more disdainful of him.
“I knew it. This person is CEO Lu’s younger brother. Why doesn’t he have CEO Lu’s bearing and self-restraint at all? Should have known he was an illegitimate child.”
“I’ve heard about the Lu family before. Lu Li is only one year younger than CEO Lu. It makes sense now. Their father must have had an affair long ago. With his identity, what right does he have to despise Pei Xin?”

Lu Li felt very awkward. It was as if he was stripped naked in front of everyone.
His eyes turned red.
Lu Li stared at Lu Huai and asked, “Are you taking revenge on me for Pei Xin? You never mentioned my mother and my identity. Now, every time I make things difficult for Pei Xin, you expose my scars.”
Lu Huai didn’t deny it. “I’ve taught you a lesson, but you didn’t listen. Since that’s the case, I can only let you experience the feeling of being hurt by others.”
Lu Li wanted to say more but Lu Huai didn’t give him the chance.
He pointed at a random person and said, “Take Lu Li away. Let him start as an intern. No one should treat him as the second son of the group. If he wants to become a regular employee, he must work hard to prove his position.”
Lu Li didn’t have a chance to speak again and was taken away by the company.
Lu Huai looked at Pei Xin, who was still trembling. He was about to approach Pei Xin when he saw Xu Lian squatting beside Pei Xin before him.
Xu Lian comforted Pei Xin softly. “It’s okay, Pei Xin. The bad guys have already left. 1’11 bring you to rest, okay?”
Xu Lian’s voice was very gentle.
At this moment, Pei Xin, who was isolated and helpless, seemed to understand. She nodded and let Xu Lian lead her to the company’s lounge.
Lu Huai also wanted to follow them, but Xu Lian said to him, “CEO Lu, you should wait in the office. Lu Li was the one who hurt Pei Xin just now. 1 think Pei Xin is very resistant to boys getting close to her. Let me talk to her first.”
Lu Huai felt that what Xu Lian said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Lu Huai, who had returned to his office, felt a little absent-minded. He regretted not rushing out earlier. If he had done so earlier, Pei Xin wouldn’t have been hurt by Lu Li.
It was clearly not like this when Pei Xin was discussing the collaboration with him yesterday.
Today, because of Lu Li’s words, Pei Xin had regressed.
At this moment, Lu Huai wished that Lu Li could disappear.

“Drink some water.” Xu Lian said.
Pei Xin took the water mechanically and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
However, Pei Xin’s eyes could not focus. She was trembling as she held the cup of hot water.
Xu Lian looked at Pei Xin, and the emotions in her eyes were complicated.
When she saw Lu Huai protecting Pei Xin, she was envious and jealous. This kind of protection was something she longed for but could not get. However, it seemed that Pei Xin had experienced a lot of pain to be in this state.
She saw the densely packed wounds on Pei Xin’s exposed arm.
Xu Lian gently raised her hand to touch it.
Pei Xin subconsciously shrank back.
“Can you tell me who hit you?” Xu Lian asked in a gentler voice. “Did you get bullied in prison? Do they hit you every day?”
Pei Xin lowered her head and said softly, “They beat me up every day. They would spit in my food, kick my newly washed clothes, drag me, and smash my head against the wall. Every time we were doing crafts, they would sharpen them and stab me with it. Sometimes we have outdoor activities and play football. They don’t think about winning or losing. Everyone just wants to kick the ball at me.”
Xu Lian could not help but frown when she heard her words..
