Chapter 65: Bland-looking, Yet Full of Tricks

Assistant Lin, held the tray in his hand, wishing he could smash it on the face of the clueless Liu Yiyi.

With so many big shots in the office, was she blind? Couldn’t she see?

She dared to mention her brother, who was incompetent and only caused trouble! If her brother wasn’t so naive, how could he have made such a big mess?

The more Lin thought about it, the angrier he got. But in front of all the shareholders, he could only swallow his anger, his face turning red.

He took a step forward, pulling Liu Yiyi’s arm and walking her out, whispering a warning, “Go out first, we’ll talk later.”

Unfortunately, Liu Yiyi was completely focused on her useless brother, not understanding Lin’s hint. She threw his hand away, her voice becoming even more shrill.

“My brother has been detained by the police, how can I stay calm?”

Over the years, she had tried to win over Assistant Lin, but she always failed.

Several times, she almost managed to climb into Lu Chengze’s bed, but Assistant Lin always spoiled her plans, making her hate him deeply.

Now, hearing Assistant Lin’s words, her first reaction was that he was going to cause more trouble for her. She could tolerate all the unimportant things in the past, but this involved her brother, how could she stand it?

Thinking about her parents’ high regard for her brother, if they knew he was in jail…

Liu Yiyi shivered involuntarily.

Her eyes were red, filled with tears, and she put on a stubborn, innocent look, “Assistant Lin, I know you’ve never liked me, but this involves my brother, can you let me go this time? I just want to save my brother.”

Over the years, in order to deal with Jian Yao, she had perfected this strategy of retreating to advance, becoming so skilled that she didn’t notice the audience she had ignored, the background characters, looking at her with amusement and deep meaning.

Even their gaze towards Lu Chengze had changed.

So Lu Chengze liked this kind of girl?

No wonder he was lukewarm towards Jian Yao. In the entire city, even in third-rate families, you couldn’t find a girl who could act so charmingly.

Bland-looking, yet full of tricks…

It was said that Mrs. Lu often criticized Jian Yao for having a fox’s face. If she saw this woman, she wouldn’t know what to think.

The shareholders who could sit here were all old foxes in the business world, having seen all kinds of demons and ghosts. Without saying a word, their gazes were like knives, scraping against them, causing a sharp pain.

Lu Chengze was being looked at with such amused and disdainful eyes, it was like being tortured.

He looked at the hypocritical Liu Yiyi in front of him with a cold face and gloomy eyes, his words were as cold as ice, “Get out!”

Liu Yiyi was interrupted in the middle of her act, her voice suddenly stuck. She turned to Lu Chengze in confusion.

This voice, why did it sound like Brother Lu?

But how could Brother Lu ask her to get out?

She must have heard wrong.

However, the next second, the Brother Lu in her eyes, who would never ask her to leave, in front of her, under her gaze, opened his thin lips, “I said get out, can’t you understand human language?”

Lu Chengze looked at the stupid Liu Yiyi in front of him, he didn’t care about reason or face anymore, he just wanted her to disappear from his sight.

Liu Yiyi’s eyes widened in disbelief, this time she didn’t even need to act, tears streamed down her face.

She looked at Lu Chengze’s cold face, her heart felt a pang of fear, and she instinctively reached out to grab his hand.

“Brother Lu…”

One of the shareholders watching the show couldn’t take it anymore, he raised his hand to shield his eyes, his tone was a mixture of disgust and disdain.

“Alright, alright, if you want to act out a tragic love story, go to a film set, watching this is giving me a headache.”

Cluck, cluck, cluck, she’s going to lay eggs soon!

Damn it! I’m never going to criticize those traffic stars for their bad acting again!

He had a bad temper. He had been waiting here for a long time, and he was forced to watch a play for a long time. His patience had long since been exhausted.

“Since Mr. Lu has more important things to do here, we old geezers who are annoying you won’t bother you anymore. Let’s reschedule.”

As for when this “some other day” would be, it was hard to say.

Besides, with such a big deal happening at the company, Mr. Lu and Lu Chengyuan would definitely be coming back.

Reschedule? Who would they reschedule with next time?

Hearing the shareholder’s words, Assistant Lin’s face turned white, and he immediately came out to smooth things over.

“Mr. Liu, please calm down. I’ll take her out right away…”

The shareholder waved his hand, his tone full of sarcasm. “Don’t bother. She’s the apple of your Mr. Lu’s eye. You better keep her. We’re leaving.”

With that, he was the first to walk towards the door.

He was the elder brother of this group of shareholders, and seeing this, the other shareholders also got up and followed his lead.

“Mr. Lu, take your time comforting her. We’ll go first.”

As soon as the few shareholders left the office door, they started talking without any reservations.

“A love child is a love child. They’re not worthy of being on the same level. Just for a woman like this, he kicked the Miss Jian family away?”

If the Miss Jian family, with all her wealth, had taken a liking to their son, they would have been willing to offer her everything!

How dare Lu Chengze?

A love child, if it weren’t for Jian Yao, the Lu family wouldn’t even have brought him back.

“You don’t understand. It’s because he’s sure that Jian Yao won’t leave that he’s spoiled. What do the young people online call this…??”

“Sponging off someone!”

“Yeah, sponging off someone!”

A group of people deliberately raised their voices, their words sharp, each sentence piercing.

It was clearly meant for the people in the office to hear.

The atmosphere in the office was almost freezing.

Even the crying Liu Yiyi stopped sobbing at some point, her face timid, not daring to look at Lu Chengze’s expression.

She had made a mistake!

A big mistake!

Actually, Jian Yao was right that day.

She didn’t lose to herself, but to human nature.

Lu Chengze, this man, valued face more than anything.

Back then, the biggest obstacle between him and Jian Yao was that the outside world kept saying he was riding on Jian Yao’s coattails.

So, he wanted to provoke Jian Yao, to tame her, to satisfy his own ego.

And she, discovering and exploiting this, became the knife that Lu Chengze used to grind down Jian Yao.

At the same time, she was gentle, obedient, flattering him at every turn, carefully taking care of his preferences, perfectly matching the image of a woman in his heart, and slowly rose to her current position.

Everything she had was based on Lu Chengze’s pitiful ego.

But now, her actions in her panic just now had made Lu Chengze lose face.

Liu Yiyi bit her lip, her fingers with their exquisite manicure clenched the hem of her skirt, her voice trembling.

“Lu…Brother Lu, I’m sorry…I didn’t know they…”
