She forced herself to calm down and said, “Mr. Lu, I might have offended you because I’m stupid and didn’t say the right things. However, that wasn’t my intention. I don’t have any intention of threatening you, nor do I have any intention of driving a wedge in your relationship with Mr. Lu. I’m really here to ask for help.”
She hoped that this would still salvage part of the situation.
Su Bei raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Don’t you think your sincerity came too late?”
“Mr. Lu, I…”
Su Bei raised her hand and interrupted her. “Miss Wang, I’m just a small artiste. Although I’m with Mr. Lu, I don’t have the right to interfere in his work matters regarding investments. That’s his freedom, just as I don’t wish for him to interfere in my work. So, go find someone who’s in a position that can talk to him about this matter. Forgive me for not being able to help.”!!
“Mr. Lu, I’m really anxious. My family is about to go bankrupt. My father is also old. If anything happens to him, I’m afraid I’ll lose him forever,” Wang Jiarou said as tears slowly fell.
It was not that Su Bei did not have sympathy, but Wang Jiarou’s previous actions had already worn away her sympathy. If Wang Jiarou continued to do this, it would only increase Su Bei’s feelings of disgust toward her.
Su Bei stood up and paid for the order. “Guilt-tripping is useless on me. That’s your father and your family’s business, not mine. If you have time to cry here, why don’t you think of a legitimate plan? Miss Wang, please excuse me as I’ll be taking my leave now.”
She walked slowly out of the café.
Wang Jiarou subconsciously clenched her fists. She really didn’t expect to encounter such a tough nut to crack. Lu Bei didn’t even budge.
She originally thought that a man like Lu Heting was the most difficult to deal with. However, he did not expect that a man like Lu Bei, who hit the nail on the head and did not give anyone face, was also difficult to defeat.
As soon as Su Bei walked out, Lu Heting called her.
Su Bei was not surprised. After all, Lu Heting’s trusted assistant was following her now. When Lu Heting found out about Wang Jiarou, he must have caused a huge commotion. Just now, she had already discovered that there were several bodyguards around her.
Lu Heting was really too careful. Was he worried that Wang Jiarou would attack her?
She smiled and picked up the call. “Yes, I’m out of the café now.”
“You don’t need to bother with someone like that, and you don’t need to see her again next time. I’ll get someone to send her away.”
“But Wang Jiarou brought up her identity as an ex-fiancee. When the time comes and she really makes a fuss, who will believe that you didn’t know her at all back then? Everyone will only think that you cheated on her and abandoned her. They’ll think that I, the third party, interfered in your relationship and made Wang Jiarou leave.”
Lu Heting’s voice was gloomy. “Su Bei, are you deliberately trying to anger me?”
“I’m just being honest. If she goes out and makes a scene, it’ll be ugly. I at least want to know what she’s up to.”
“I’ll find out exactly what she’s up to. Also, you mentioned abandoning her and all that. Are you sure about that?”
Hearing the cold voice on the other end, Su Bei knew that Lu Heting was angry. Her voice softened. “Of course not. I’m just afraid that others will say that. I don’t want us to be criticized.”
“Go home first. I’ll be right back.” Lu Heting hung up.
Su Bei stuck out her tongue. Was she too sarcastic? She must have been influenced by Wang Jiarou just now. She didn’t know the right words to say and kept nitpicking.
Of all things, why did she learn how to be sarcastic from Wang Jiarou?
Su Bei rushed home. Instead of going upstairs first, she sat in the car and waited for Lu Heting in the underground parking lot. When she saw the familiar low-key black luxury car, Su Bei immediately got out and stood there waiting for him.
Lu Heting’s gaze flickered when he saw the woman. He pursed his thin lips slightly, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
Su Bei ran forward and opened the door for him. She smiled and said, “Honey, you’re back!”
“Yes. If I didn’t come back soon, I’d be accused of abandoning you.” The man’s voice was a little cold. He got out of the car and stood in front of Su Bei.
“I didn’t mean that. Are you still angry?” She took his hand of her own accord. He tried to dodge but she refused to back away and clasped her fingers around his hand.
It was just a simple gesture, but it was filled with unspeakable possessiveness.
“Yes.” His tone still sounded unhappy. His dark eyes were slightly hidden as if he were hiding his true emotions.
Su Bei pulled away, put her hands on his shoulders, and kissed his eyebrows. “Feeling better now?”
The man’s eyes remained narrowed, making it impossible to read his true thoughts.
Su Bei licked her lips before kissing him on the lips, gently pressing on his thin, beautiful lips.
Lu Heting laughed softly and didn’t hold himself back anymore. Actually, he wasn’t really angry with her. He had always spoiled his woman. How could he be angry with her?
It was just that her kiss tasted too good, and he was a little greedy.
He tightened his grip on her waist and suddenly pulled her into his arms, making up for the unfinished kiss. Only then did his dark eyes ripple with satisfaction.
“Oh, you lied to me!” Su Bei realized and her cheeks puffed with anger.
“If I didn’t lie to you, I wouldn’t receive such good treatment.” Lu Heting’s tone was filled with confidence.
Su Bei snorted. ‘How scheming!’
“But if you’re not angry, why did you rush back?”
“I got someone to investigate Wang Jiarou. On the day I registered my marriage with you, I got Grandma to write an annulment letter for her. This was also filed at the lawyer’s office as I was afraid that such a problem would arise. Back then, I didn’t think of getting married because I had feelings for her, so there naturally wouldn’t be any loopholes in the arrangement.”
“No wonder she lacked confidence. In front of me, she used all kinds of words to provoke me. She tried to threaten me so that I’d put in a good word with you for her.”
Lu Heting narrowed his eyes and said, “On the way just now, I received the results of my assistant’s investigation. Wang Jiarou sent her photo over at her father’s request. Back then, there were countless people who wanted to marry into Lu Group.
“However, she had someone she liked, so on the day we were supposed to get married, she didn’t show up. Instead, she went abroad with the person she liked and ran a small company.”
