Liu Yan quickly walked over and apologized. “I’m sorry, CEO Lu. 1 heard from the front desk that Ms. Song Hua was here, so I quickly brought her up.”

“This is the Lu family’s company. The Song family is not allowed to come in whenever they want. In the future, if I don’t give the orders, you can’t let outsiders in.”

Then, he turned to look at the employees. “You just need to do your job well. No one should tell you what to do in the company.”

The employees were touched and looked at Lu Huai with admiration.

Song Hua was now the only one embarrassed. Her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness to back down.

Lu Huai did not plan to invite Song Hua to his office. Instead, he asked Song Hua in front of his employees. “Why are you here? 1 don’t remember having a meeting with you.”

Song Hua’s expression was ugly. “Our families have always been on good terms. We grew up together. 1 wanted to find you now that I’m back. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Lu Huai looked at her indifferently. “We just grew up together. That doesn’t mean we have a close relationship. Your behavior today makes me very disgusted. You’d better give me a legitimate reason as to why you’re here. Otherwise, I’ll be kicking you out.”

Song Hua knew Lu Huai’s personality very well. He always kept his word.

Song Hua panicked. If she was chased out by Lu Huai in public, how else will she make a stand?

Song Hua did not care if the occasion was appropriate or not. She said directly, “I heard that you brought Pei Xin with you. You know what her status is. She’s a lowly person. Bringing her with you will only lower your status. The family was worried about this, so 1 immediately returned after hearing about this. You’re busy dealing with the business world every day. You don’t understand women’s minds. They’re the best at pretending. Do you think Pei Xin is actually weak? I’m pretty sure she had a motive for getting close to you from the start.”

Lu Huai’s expression did not change, as if what Song Hua said was just a trivial matter.

“So you came here to tell me all this because you were entrusted by my father to act on this matter. He wants me to stay away from Pei Xin, right?”

Song Hua nodded.

Actually, she was not speaking the truth… But she believed that Lu Yu had the same thoughts, so she used Lu Yu’s name in vain. This way, Lu Huai wouldn’t be able to chase her away.

Lu Huai would definitely step aside for his biological father.

“You’ve done what he asked you to do,” Lu Huai said. “You can leave now. I’m the head of the Lu family. I’m free to be close to whoever 1 want. No one can control me, including my father.”

“What?!” Song Hua widened her eyes and stared at Lu Huai in disbelief. “Are you going to turn against your father for Pei Xin? Uncle Lu has put in so much effort to nurture you. If you were with Pei Xin, do you know how many people would slander you behind your back?”

“That man nurtured me?” Lu Huai asked. “Not long after my mother died, he welcomed his lover and illegitimate child into the house. From then on, he spent all his time on that mother and son. I was brought up by my grandparents. If the Lu Corporation was in his hands, it might have gone bankrupt long ago. A man who betrays his wife and has no morals. Why should he have a say in my marriage?”

Song Hua was shocked by Lu Huai’s words.

She did not expect Lu Huai to harbor such hatred for Lu Yu.

Lu Huai had never shown it in the past.

Lu Huai had always been indifferent and distant towards Lu Li and his stepmother.

Everyone thought that it was because Lu Huai didn’t care.

Song Hua was a little embarrassed. She did not know how to deal with this situation.

At this moment, Pei Xin was also led here by the staff.

She was holding a document in her hands. She looked like she had worked on it overnight.

Lu Huai was very optimistic about Jiang Yan’s plan. Therefore, he decided to cooperate with Jiang Yan’s branch in Beijing.

Pei Xin did not dare to disappoint Jiang Yan’s expectations of her. She sorted out all the information overnight and was prepared to negotiate the terms with Lu Huai today..
