A woman who is not ruthless will not have a stable position.
In the luxurious private room, Lu Qi's tall and robust body leaned casually against the sofa, his deep facial features accentuating his noble demeanor.
"Let's have a drink, Lu Zong. I hope our cooperation goes smoothly this time." Tang Jing said with a smile, and they clinked glasses together.
Lu Qi Rui raised his eyes, but through the glass, he took in the scene of the hall, his hand holding the cup paused in mid-air, suddenly, he downed the whiskey in one gulp and stood up.
Tang Jing also stood up and asked: "President Lu, are you leaving now?" He had even arranged a lot of programs for him, and now...
Lu Qi Rui buttoned up his Western-style suit and stepped out, the waiter immediately opened the door to the private room for him. He didn't say a word as he walked towards the main hall, his face growing increasingly somber.
The hall card seat, Shen Xiangyu took a step ahead, picked up the wine bottle on the tea table, and said coldly: "I'll drink this wine for her."
"Xin——" Qin Jie's words were left unfinished as Xin Yu tilted her head back and downed the drink without hesitation.
Chen Wei raised his eyes, and although the light was dim, he could still see that the woman who had suddenly appeared had a delicate face. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking it was quite interesting. The man holding the charming woman also seemed to have taken an interest, smiling slightly, thinking that if they drank this bottle of wine so directly, they would probably be unable to take it.
In just a minute, the bottle was empty. Shen Xiangyu put down the empty bottle on the table without saying anything, bent down to help Qin Jie up and said to Chen Wei: "Can we leave now?"
"You want to leave? This is how you treat your guests?" Chen Wei slowly stood up, blocking their way with his hand, a hint of playfulness on his face as he looked at Shen Xiangyu and raised an eyebrow: "You're not bad, why don't you stay and have some fun with us."
Qin Jie used her body to block Shen Xiangyu in front of Chen Xiansheng, "Mr. Chen, she didn't..."
"It's not like I'm selling myself, today I'm happy, name your price." He glared at Qin Jie, pushing her away roughly, and continued: "If you serve me well in bed, I'll give you a tip."
Shen Xiangyu pulled Qin Jie behind her and slowly approached Chen Wei. When he thought she had agreed, she picked up the wine glass on the table and splashed it onto Chen Wei's face. Everyone at the card table stared in shock at this scene, as this woman dared to splash wine directly onto Chen Wei's face.
"Damn woman! Looking for death!" Chen Wei's eyes blazed with anger as he gave her a forceful push.
Shen Xiangyu took a few steps back, her knee colliding with the corner of the table, but she didn't care at all. She waited for the man in front of her to speak, her voice cold: "You have this much time, it's better to go back and take a look at your company. Who knows, you might die without even knowing the reason!"
As soon as Shen Xiangyu said that, she was about to leave with Qin Jie when Chen Wei quickly grabbed her arm and glared at her angrily: "What did you just say!?"
Shen Xiangyu just smiled faintly, as if she understood everything. Chen Wei was furious, his face burning with anger, and he raised his palm, "You damned woman! You're nothing but a prostitute who lets people play with you, you—"
Shen Xiangyu was just about to make some preparations when Chen Wei's hand was suddenly grasped by a powerful hand.
Chen Weizheng wanted to roar with anger, but when he looked up, his face froze immediately. The man stood in front of him with a dark expression, not even glancing at the frail woman beside him. However, Shen Xiangyu seemed to be frozen stiff after seeing the person who appeared.
The person who caught Chen Wei was actually... Lu Qi Rui!
"Director Lu, this is..." Chen Wei naturally recognized the person blocking him and originally wanted to ask why, but in the current situation, he seemed to have thought of it too. He hastily changed his words and said: "Is there something good to discuss? If Director Lu is interested, I, Chen Wei, will not snatch someone's love."
He stiffened with a smile, Lu Qi Rui didn't say anything, coldly shaking off his hand, grabbed Shen Xiangyu's hand and took her out, at the door of the bar, Shen Xiangyu finally shook him off forcefully.
Lu Qi Rui stopped in his tracks, those sharp eyes were coldly staring at her.
The air around her made Shen Xiangyu feel suffocated, giving her an urge to turn around and leave immediately, but he stopped her.
"It's nice to meet you like this, is it fun?" He said coldly, his handsome face looked gentle but contained mockery.
He is an inscrutable man, past and present, only that his former self was blinded by love, Shen Xiangyu averted her gaze, not wanting to touch the wound in her heart again, afraid of reopening the wound, that kind of unbearable pain.
Lu Qi Rui looked at her current appearance, couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, playing with the ring in his hand, sarcastically saying: "Using such a method to see me, you succeeded."
Before she decided to pawn it, she knew that Lu Qi would find out soon. In fact, she just wanted to tell him straightforwardly that she had let go of this relationship and would not bother him again, and only wanted to return his things to him intact. It was just unexpected that he would think that pawning the ring was her way of wanting to see him and salvage this relationship.
Perhaps her previous self would have used such a method, and even that night, looking at the scene on the bed, she looked at the ring again, and finally chose to leave quietly, just wanting to salvage this marriage, because she loved this man.
Now he really overestimates her, pawning the ring is just because she needs money.
A ring that has long since lost its meaning, held in one's hand can only be like a cold rock blocking one's heart.
Shen Xiangyu smiled wryly and calmly met his gaze, saying: "Actually, I should have thrown this ring away that night."
