For the next few days, Li Ze did not go to Pei Xin because Lu Huai had already come to find him.
Lu Huai sat opposite Li Ze in the office.
Chen Sheng stood at the side, feeling very nervous.
He could not interrupt the conversation between the two big shots.
âWhat are you doing here?â Li Ze asked Lu Huai.
Lu Huai said bluntly, âWhere is Pei Xin? Iâm here to look for her.â
Li Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at him. âIsnât she your brotherâs
ex-girlfriend? Why are you here looking for her?â
Lu Huai stared at Li Ze. âStop pretending. It wasnât hard to find you, which means I can find her trail too. 1 heard that your ex-lover, Zhang Ying, was banned from the entertainment industry because she came to the company to cause trouble for one of your assistants. She was apparently called Pei Xin.â
âWhat?â Li Ze chuckled and stared straight at Lu Huai. âThen tell me, what right do you have to find Pei Xin? You are neither Pei Xinâs enemy nor Pei Xinâs benefactor. Why are you looking for her?â
Lu Huai lowered his eyes slightly. âI donât need to tell you about Pei Xin and me. Just bring her here now.â
Li Zeâs face turned cold as well. âBring her here, and then what? Let you continue to hurt her? She doesnât owe the Lu family anything.â
Lu Huai didnât plan to tell Li Ze much. He just said coldly, âThis is between Pei Xin and me. If thereâs anything I need to say, Iâll say it face to face. I donât need you to pass the message between us. Moreover, I wonât hurt Pei Xin.â
Li Ze crossed his legs and looked disdainful. âArenât you a capable man? Why donât you go find her yourself?â
âYou hid her. 1 sent someone to look for her at her previous residence. She wasnât there.â
Li Ze suddenly felt it was a blessing that Pei Xin had chosen to work at Jiang Yanâs company and had changed her address.
The two of them negotiated, but Li Ze refused to tell Lu Huai Pei Xinâs address or her current contact information.
Lu Huai had no choice but to give him his conditions.
Lu Huai said, âI wonât fight with you for the development rights of the land in Chengxi District. Tell me Pei Xinâs current address and contact information. I promise 1 wonât hurt Pei Xin.â
Li Ze was a little surprised to hear this.
Lu Huai was the same type of person as him, but their lifestyle was very different. Li Ze had many women by his side, but Lu Huai did not.
All the women who tried to climb into Lu Huaiâs bed were chased away by him using violence. That was why the staff around Lu Huai were all men.
Therefore, Li Ze was shocked to see Lu Huai paying so much attention to Pei Xin.
âWhy are you so intent on finding Pei Xin? Do you like her or something?â Li Ze asked and smiled at the thought. âDoes your brother know that you like his ex-girlfriend? Everyone says that you are the most picky man ever and that no woman can catch your eye. 1 guess Pei Xin somehow managed to get your attention.â
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes dangerously. âWhat do you mean? You keep saying that you like Pei Xin, but your words just now seem to imply that Pei Xin isnât worthy of me.â
Li Zeren was dumbfounded.
Lu Huai actually meant that Pei Xin was worthy of him.
Li Ze looked at Lu Huai in a daze. âWhen did you become so emotional? Although I like Pei Xin very much, 1 know that with Pei Xinâs current status, itâs impossible for her to become my wife. What about you? Are you planning to marry Pei Xin?â
Li Ze was surprised to hear what came out of his mouth.
Before Lu Huai arrived at Haicheng, he didnât think that Lu Huai would have a good impression of Pei Xin. However, the questions Lu Huai asked showed that he wanted to protect Pei Xin.
It was extremely rare for Lu Huai to treat a woman in such a special way.
Hearing Li Zeâs question, Lu Huai frowned slightly.
He had never thought of marrying Pei Xin.
He also didnât think that he liked Pei Xin.
However, after learning that Pei Xin had left the capital quietly, Lu Huai could not help but want to find her. He couldnât even tell what was forcing him to have such a strong impulse..
