BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65 - 65: Lu Huai Is Here
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.
“What are you doing here?” Li Ze asked Lu Huai.
Lu Huai said bluntly, “Where is Pei Xin? I’m here to look for her.”
Li Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Isn’t she your brother’s
ex-girlfriend? Why are you here looking for her?”
Lu Huai stared at Li Ze. “Stop pretending. It wasn’t 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.”
“What?” Li Ze chuckled and stared straight at Lu Huai. “Then tell me, what right do you have to find Pei Xin? You are neither Pei Xin’s enemy nor Pei Xin’s benefactor. Why are you looking for her?”
Lu Huai lowered his eyes slightly. “I don’t need to tell you about Pei Xin and me. Just bring her here now.”
Li Ze’s face turned cold as well. “Bring her here, and then what? Let you continue to hurt her? She doesn’t owe the Lu family anything.”
Lu Huai didn’t plan to tell Li Ze much. He just said coldly, “This is between Pei Xin and me. If there’s anything I need to say, I’ll say it face to face. I don’t need you to pass the message between us. Moreover, I won’t hurt Pei Xin.”
Li Ze crossed his legs and looked disdainful. “Aren’t you a capable man? Why don’t you go find her yourself?”
“You hid her. 1 sent someone to look for her at her previous residence. She wasn’t there.”
Li Ze suddenly felt it was a blessing that Pei Xin had chosen to work at Jiang Yan’s company and had changed her address.
The two of them negotiated, but Li Ze refused to tell Lu Huai Pei Xin’s address or her current contact information.
Lu Huai had no choice but to give him his conditions.
Lu Huai said, “I won’t fight with you for the development rights of the land in Chengxi District. Tell me Pei Xin’s current address and contact information. I promise 1 won’t hurt Pei Xin.”
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 Huai’s 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.
“Why are you so intent on finding Pei Xin? Do you like her or something?” Li Ze asked and smiled at the thought. “Does 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.”
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes dangerously. “What do you mean? You keep saying that you like Pei Xin, but your words just now seem to imply that Pei Xin isn’t worthy of me.”
Li Zeren was dumbfounded.
Lu Huai actually meant that Pei Xin was worthy of him.
Li Ze looked at Lu Huai in a daze. “When did you become so emotional? Although I like Pei Xin very much, 1 know that with Pei Xin’s current status, it’s impossible for her to become my wife. What about you? Are you planning to marry Pei Xin?”
Li Ze was surprised to hear what came out of his mouth.
Before Lu Huai arrived at Haicheng, he didn’t 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 Ze’s question, Lu Huai frowned slightly.
He had never thought of marrying Pei Xin.
He also didn’t 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 couldn’t even tell what was forcing him to have such a strong impulse..
