“No, it’s not like that.” Zhang Ziqin panicked internally, meeting Lu Li’s gaze that seemed to carry a hint of mockery, she quickly explained.

“I just wanted to ask if there’s anything you need help with. I have many projects on hand; we could collaborate.”

“I have no money, don’t fantasize about getting money from me that doesn’t belong to you.” Lu Li turned his head away, no longer looking at Zhang Ziqin’s stunningly beautiful face. No matter how beautiful, the person before his eyes was repulsive to him.

Looking at the woman before him, he sneered disdainfully: “So, seeing me as the General Manager of Lu Corporation, fully in control of Lu Corporation, you couldn’t resist trying to get new orders from me?”UpTodated novels at novelhall.com

“I can tell you directly, I, Lu Li, won’t be your lapdog anymore, don’t even think about getting any benefits from me.”

“If there’s nothing else, please leave. Lu Corporation does not welcome you.”

Seeing herself in the position of General Manager of Lu Corporation, she ran over immediately.

The former me actually harbored the illusion that such a woman could genuinely fall in love with me, as laughable as expecting Lu Ya to show me real familial affection.

Both blinded by their own interests.

When those two glasses of red wine were splashed on his face in front of everyone, he saw the truth, not to mention the many things that happened afterward.

His cold words were like a vast chasm separating them, leaving Zhang Ziqin truly panicked. Biting her lips, her eyes reddened, every word from Lu Li felt like a slap to her face.

She now clearly understood how she appeared in Lu Li’s heart.

A woman constantly asking him for money, scheming for the benefits of Lu Corporation, keeping him hanging yet dismissive of him, a green tea b*tch.

Lu Li had given up on her, Lu Li no longer loved her.

“No, Lu Li, I really came to help you. I’ve prepared several project proposals, just take a look, I’m willing to give you fifty percent of the profits!” Zhang Ziqin was frantic inside, she had been reborn.

Everything hadn’t even started yet, but Lu Li had given up on her.

“There’s no need to look, Miss Zhang, please leave. Also, don’t come to Lu Corporation again, I don’t want to see you.” After speaking, Lu Li picked up a document.

It hurts, it really hurts.

Her heart felt as if it was torn apart, Zhang Ziqin no longer had the demeanor of an ice queen CEO. Her beautiful face twisted, resembling a hysterical shrew.

She now felt the pain Lu Li once endured, such pain Lu Li bore for over a decade, Zhang Ziqin couldn’t even begin to understand how he managed.

“Lu Li, I now feel the pain you once bore, I accept it. No matter what you do to me, I accept it, I owe it to you. From now on, let me be the one to pursue you, whether it’s for a decade or two, even if it costs me my life, I won’t give up.”

Biting her lip tightly, Zhang Ziqin solidified her determination.

She deserved it; she owed Lu Li so much, why should she expect Lu Li to accept her without any reservations?

***

In her previous life.

At the Zhang family estate, how could Lu Li possibly miss a banquet organized by Zhang Ziqin?

Lu Li patted his cheeks; everything would come to light today, whether his years of effort could change the so-called plot was to be determined today.

Taking a deep breath, he got into the car. As for his sister Lu Ya, he had lost all hope.

Zhang Ziqin represented his last hope.

For so many years, whether it was acting or truly falling for Zhang Ziqin, Lu Li no longer understood his own state of mind. Perhaps it was because he was too deep into the role.

Like an actor unable to step out of character, showing the best side within the plot, the bitterness in his heart, he could only swallow down.

Everything seemed like a dream.

Over the years, he was like a puppet tightly controlled by the system. If he truly changed the so-called plot, regardless of what his dog system did, he would do everything in his power to pursue what he wanted.

The Zhao family estate, it wasn’t Lu Li’s first visit. He was very familiar with it, even indifferent to the contemptuous gazes of some Zhao family servants, as if saying someone like him was dreaming of “a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh,” plaguing their miss. All of the dignity had long been lost in his prolonged puppet-like existence.

Today was his last chance.
