After they left, Lu Li’s smile became even more menacing. He looked at Pei Xin with disdain and said, “Pei Xin, whoever gets close to you will live an unlucky life. You should stay away from others in the future. Don’t drag others down.”

Pei Xin pursed her lips and clenched her fists. At this moment, she looked at Lu Li with hatred.

The man she once loved so deeply looked like a demon. It made her feel disgusted.

“Lu Li, when did you become like this? Is there only hatred and revenge left in your heart?” Pei Xin asked him.

“Why am I like this? Isn’t it all because of you?!” Lu Li asked. “I used to love you so much, but you betrayed me! You betrayed my trust, my love, my everything! 1 want you to live in Hell for the rest of your life!”

Pei Xin could not help but frown. “You’re really sick. What’s the difference between you and a psychopath?”

Lu Li grabbed Pei Xin’s wrist and whispered into her ear,

“Send Ling Lin away. Don’t let me see this bastard ever again, maybe then 1 will let you go. You could betray me in the past. Why can’t you abandon your son now?

“You’re a vain woman. As long as you throw Ling Lin away, I promise 1 won’t make things difficult for you.”

Pei Xin struggled hard, trying to shake off Lu Li. However, Lu Li was much stronger. Pei Xin’s wrist was turning red from his grip, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Pei Xin’s eyes turned red and she couldn’t help but shout, “Let go of me! I won’t abandon my son even if 1 die!”

Just as the two of them were arguing, the office door suddenly opened.

Lu Huai pushed Lu Li away when he saw Lu Li torturing Pei Xin.

“Are you alright?” He asked gently as he protected Pei Xin in his arms.

Pei Xin gritted her teeth, her body trembling.

Because of Lu Li’s forwardness, Pei Xin’s trauma response had relapsed again.

She sealed herself in that small space again.

Lu Huai’s words were clearly ringing in her ears, but she couldn’t understand a single word.

Pei Xin squatted down and covered her ears with both hands.

“Go away, go away, stay away from me, p-please.”

When Lu Huai saw Pei Xin like this, his heart ached.

He also squatted down and comforted Pei Xin softly. “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already chased away the bad guys. Calm down. You’re safe.”

Lu Li’s anger blew out of proportions when he saw Lu Huai’s concern for Pei Xin.

Xu Lian stood silently behind him and watched this scene unfold.

She was extremely unwilling to let this matter go.

No matter how much she begged Lu Huai, he refused to look at her.

Lu Huai even looked at her with disgust.

However, Lu Huai was so gentle to Pei Xin.

What right did Pei Xin have to receive such care?!

Lu Li walked up to Lu Huai, losing control of his emotions. He questioned Lu Huai, “You are my brother. Why are you protecting an outsider?!”

At this moment, Liu Yan also rushed over.

Lu Huai handed Pei Xin over to Liu Yan, who stared at Lu Li coldly.

Lu Li’s anger calmed down a little because he realized he was being watched.

He had almost forgotten that the person in front of him was his brother.

The brother who was unkind and had complete control of situations.

Lu Li’s momentum was instantly weakened.

Lu Huai didn’t answer Lu Li’s question. Instead, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Lu Li became nervous. “It’s my first day at the company. I graduated from university a long time ago. Dad told me to come to the company to familiarize myself with the business.”

“Familiarize the business?” Lu Huai sneered. “I’ll get someone to take care of you. If you don’t pass the internship, then you can go wherever you want to go. The company can’t tolerate those that are lazy.”

“Why?” Lu Li asked unwillingly. “We’re both heirs. Why can you be the CEO and manage the company directly, but I have to start as an intern!”

Lu Huai’s lips curled into a faint smile, but that smile carried a hint of cruelty.

“Why do you think so? This company was built by my mother and father. If it weren’t for my mother’s financial support, the Lu Corporation would have gone bankrupt long ago. Your mother was a mistress. She didn’t contribute anything to this company.. You’ve always been inferior to me, so why shouldn’t I let you be an intern?”
