A malevolent cup of coffee was fresh.

Xu Liunian was secretly delighted in her heart as she pretended to have nothing to do and walked into the CEO's office while carrying her coffee.

"Director Lu, please enjoy."

Lu Jianqing only glanced at Xu Liunian indifferently, and that glance had a deep meaning.

He drank the cup of coffee as if nothing had happened, leaving only the bottom of the cup.

Seeing Xu Liunian's expression, a smile flashed past his eyes, and her lips secretly hooked up.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A light knock came from the door as Secretary Zhou pushed it open and entered.

"Director Lu, tonight, our partners, in order to celebrate their return, specially organized a banquet to invite you to attend."

The current Secretary Zhou was completely different from the one inside the elevator. It was as if there was a hook hidden in her eyes as she stared at Lu Jianqing tenderly.

In the past, Director Lu would always bring her as his secretary to such occasions. Over time, he could not help but feel a hidden joy in her heart.

This woman with an enchanting figure looked as though she was bowing her head respectfully, but in reality, she was seducing Lu Jianqing without any traces of her presence.

Lu Jianqing acted as if he did not sense it, he muttered to himself for a while, then said: "Go and reply to the person in charge of Liang's Group, he said that I will definitely be there on time tonight."

His gaze fell on Xu Liunian who was standing dumbly at the side, and he secretly frowned, "Oh right, Secretary Zhou, dress her up, and tonight, she will come with me."

Secretary Zhou was shocked, a look of disbelief flashed past her eyes.

Seeing the fear in Lu Jianqing's eyes, then looking at the shocked Xu Liunian, her heart was filled with jealousy and hatred.

However, Lu Jianqing would naturally not take back his words, so he could only grind his teeth and reply: "Yes, Director Lu!"

Since the Secretary Zhou was unhappy with Xu Liunian, she naturally wouldn't carefully dress her up.

That night, when Lu Jianqing came to pick Xu Liunian up, he saw a woman who was covered in glittering jewellery Qi.

A hint of unhappiness flashed in his eyes as he silently shook his head in his heart.

Sure enough, Xu Liunian couldn't compare to him at all.

Seeing that it was already getting late, he could not change his clothes in time, so he could only impatiently call for her to get in the car.

During the banquet, they drank wine and were overflowing with splendor.

As the leader of the Jin City, Lu Jianqing was very quickly surrounded by a group of people.

Xu Liunian, the new face who had appeared for the first time in the upper echelons of society, had also received the attention of everyone.

Everyone's eyes were filled with a strange light as they looked at the cold Director Lu, who was followed by a somewhat vulgar and beautiful woman. It was as if they were talking about how this seemingly foreign woman had managed to get in.

If everyone's eyes were on a sharp sword, then she would have long since become a sieve.

Xu Liunian's heart was filled with awkwardness and humiliation. She clearly understood the little scheme the Secretary Zhou was plotting.

But you couldn't wear a T-shirt to a party, so you just let it go.

However, in the next second, the feeling of humiliation in her heart reached its peak.

The main character of the banquet appeared.

Under the crowd's gaze, a woman with her hair pulled up and wearing a silver fish-tailed dress leisurely walked over.

The woman walked closer and closer until she finally stopped in front of them.

She tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Brother Jian Qing, long time no see."

Liang Peiqing!

Xu Liunian slightly widened her eyes as she clenched the hand by her side into a fist.

The enemy in front of him was radiant and beautiful, as if he was not affected by what had happened three years ago at all.

The hatred in her chest seethed as everything around her disappeared, leaving behind only the abominable face in front of her.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came. It turned out that her sharp nails had pierced the skin of her palms.

She snapped out of her stupor, telling herself that it was better not to put up with it.

Unknowingly, Liang Peiqing and Lu Jianqing had gotten closer to each other. The two of them were chatting happily, looking like a perfect couple.

They seemed to have forgotten about her existence as they chatted among themselves.

The corner of Xu Liunian's lips curved up in a self-deprecating smile. She had originally been that unnecessary existence from start to finish.

She took one last look at Lu Jianqing, and then silently left.

Xu Liunian walked to the corner of the auction hall with a gloomy expression.

"Fleeting Time?" A gentle voice sounded.

She subconsciously looked over, and an unexpected person appeared.

"Senior?" "Why are you here?"

The person who came was Cen Linrong. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"I was invited to the party, weren't you? "How have you been recently? I haven't seen you since you left last time."

Xu Liunian's face involuntarily revealed a trace of awkwardness, "I …"

She couldn't help but look at Lu Jianqing at the center of the venue.

Cen Linrong followed her gaze and looked over. He felt a burst of pain in his heart, so he naturally changed the topic.

The appearance of this elegant and refined young master caused many single girls to cast him jealous gazes.

"How does Second Young Master Cen know this kind of woman?"

"This fox spirit must have seduced him!"

Xu Liunian pursed her lips, uncomfortably stroking the hair by her ear.

"That, how about …" I'll go first.

Before he could finish, the dance music started playing.

Cen Linrong smiled and extended his hand out elegantly.

"Fleeting Time, can you dance with me?"

His attitude was as warm as jade, and his eyes concealed deep emotions and anticipation.

Xu Liunian could not bear to refuse, so she agreed.

Cen Linrong was indeed a good partner, every single action of hers was considerate enough to take care of her feelings.

Xu Liunian's heart was full of emotions. She closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

In the melodious music, men and women embraced each other and swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Just as the music was about to reach its climax, the hall suddenly fell into darkness.

Ah!" Shouts rose and fell.

In the darkness, the timid women supported each other as they stumbled to one side.

Xu Liunian also didn't know where she had been rushed to by the restless crowd. Her waist was heavily hit by something hard, and it was so painful that she almost suffocated.

At this moment, she was like a duckweed floating around.

With the crisp sound of glass hitting the ground, a person fell on top of her and protected her tightly.

A large round table crashed to the ground behind him, and a man's muffled groans could be heard.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Xu Liunian subconsciously thought that the person who was protecting her was Cen Linrong, so her tone was filled with worry.

However, a familiar deep voice rang in her ears.

"Do you really hope that it's Cen Linrong?"
