Lu Huai knocked on the table with one hand. He didn’t say anything immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Lian didn’t dare to disturb him and just waited quietly for Lu Huai’s reply.

Finally, Lu Huai stopped what he was doing.

“I can help you solve the company’s problems,” he said. “1’11 tell you the details after I investigate the current situation of your father’s company. As for pretending to be your boyfriend, 1 won’t do it. 1 have no feelings for you. I can make it up to you for what happened six years ago, but not in this way. You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t love you for the rest of your life, do you?”

Xu Lian lowered her head, her face a little red.

She was glad that she didn’t say that she wanted to marry Lu Huai.

Lu Huai had rejected the idea of being his girlfriend so directly.

“Alright, thank you.” Xu Lian nodded.

Lu Huai asked Xu Lian to contact Liu Yan directly if anything happened and then walked out.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Xu Lian looked at him in surprise.

Lu Huai shook his head. “I’ve already eaten. Since we’re done here, let’s bid farewell.”

Xu Lian looked a little sad. “But this is the restaurant I specially booked. I haven’t eaten yet. Can you at least accompany me?”

Lu Huai looked at her pitiful expression and thought about how this woman had helped him six years ago. Back then, Xu Lian had also suffered a loss, so he agreed.

Xu Lian looked very happy.

Xu Lian also tried to chat with Lu Huai, but Lu Huai remained cold.

This made Xu Lian feel a little sad.

In fact, when she first invited Lu Huai over, she really only wanted to tell him about the situation of her company. She simply hoped that Lu Huai could help save the company. That way, her family would not go bankrupt, and she would not have to marry an old man.

However, after meeting Lu Huai and seeing him in real life, Xu Lian realized that Lu Huai was very charming. She fell in love with him at first sight.

Xu Lian knew that it wasn’t right for her to do this, but she still couldn’t help but want to spend more time with Lu Huai.

Just as the two of them were about to finish their meal, a commotion suddenly sounded at the entrance of the restaurant.

Lu Huai frowned in displeasure. His subordinates immediately went over to check.

When he returned, he saw Song Hua following behind his subordinate.

“Is Lu Huai eating with Pei Xin?” Song Hua was still arguing. “That shameless b*tch. She should be taking care of her own child, but she’s busy seducing Lu Huai.”

When she saw Xu Lian, Song Hua was stunned.

Although the Xu family’s status was not as high as the Song family’s, the two of them had attended many banquets of wealthy families, so they knew each other well.

Song Hua frowned and looked at Xu Lian. “Why are you here”

Xu Lian lowered her head timidly.

Song Hua looked at Lu Huai again. “Weren’t you with Pei Xin? Why are you changing targets so quickly?”

As she spoke, Song Hua gave Xu Lian a onceover.

She did not hide the contempt in her eyes.

“So you like girls who look very weak?” Song Hua asked Lu Huai in confusion.

Although Song Hua was born into a wealthy family, she was very outstanding. Since young, as long as she wanted to do something, she would do it very well.

Therefore, Song Hua did not like girls who would cry at the drop of a hat. She hated those that showed their weakness in exchange for the protection of the man.

If she wanted something, she would fight for it herself and not rely on a man.

Song Hua had a good impression of Lu Huai because she felt that Lu Huai was worthy of her.

If Lu Huai did not have his current ability and status, Song Hua would not have gone after him.

Now, not only did Song Hua hate Xu Lian, but she was also starting to doubt Lu Huai’s taste in women.

There were so many outstanding girls out there, but why did Lu Huai like women who were useless?

Lu Huai frowned. “Don’t misunderstand. Xu Lian and I are not in the relationship you think we are. I met Xu Lian today because I had something to discuss with her.”

Song Hua sneered. She pointed at the surroundings. “Look at this place. There are roses and candles on every table. It’s obviously a place for lovers to go on dates..”
