Sunbeams shone through the windows, enveloping a pair with its warmth.
However, despite this, the air around this pair was frigid.
“Do say if you want to work with me. Of Ziming’s friends, only you probably understand my personality.”
She smiled at the man. Her face was illuminated by the sun’s golden beams, but her expression remained extremely frigid.
This lady was supposed to be known for her n.o.bility and elegance.
However, looking at the apathy and coldness on her face, one would think that it fit her more.
“Hur. Don’t you think that your plans are rather… mediocre?”
Fu Mingxuan put down the cup he was rubbing zealously and looked up at her.
“If the collaboration you want is for those plans, then I’ve really been overestimating you all these years.”
He chuckled and lazily leaned against the chair, looking very different from the cultured and gentle person he usually was.
If not for him looking the same, those who knew him would probably not recognize this bleak and languid man.
She raised her hands and slowly clapped at his change in demeanor.
Clap, clap, clap!
“You are indeed as I expected. Of Ziming’s friends, you’re the most secretive and fake.” She regarded the man sitting across her with a very satisfied smile.
He found her smile to be distasteful.
“I didn’t come here for your nonsense. If you want my collaboration for those plans, then I think it’s time for me to go back to my company.”
He moved to stand up and leave, but before he could do so, she stopped him.
“Wait. Who said that those are my plans?”
She raised her chin a little, giving him haughty and disdainful look.
“I’m not as stupid as Pei Ge. What I want has never been taken by someone.”
In the past, she had stolen that girl’s fortunate encounter and was reborn like a phoenix to become the girl everyone envied and the Ji Group’s benefactor.
Her biological father, who hated and despised her, now treated her as if she were his ancestor, while the stepmother, who had bullied her before, almost went insane from her torture.
In fact, after being abandoned by the son and husband, her stepmother was living a life worse than death now.
Nothing good ever happens to those I dislike and hate.
Even Pei Ge’s cousin, that clever schemer, ended up going overseas because of me.
This time is no exception.
Pei Ge, it’s your turn to leave this place.
Forced to turn your back from home and to leave the country, your end will be no better than a sewage rat! I’ll make that your life is a living h.e.l.l and that you regret ever getting involved with my man at your every waking moment!
“Just one word: Are you in or not? Although my plan may get more complicated, you are not a necessity for it.”
She reined in the viciousness in her eyes as she smiled at him.
“What’s the plan?”
He c.o.c.ked a brow at her slightly.
“Why do you think I haven’t told you my plan from the start?”
She chuckled and did not answer his question upfront.
“… You’re afraid of me spoiling your plan once I know of it?” Mockery flashed past his eyes as he frowned slightly.
“Do you think that I want to see those two together? He hurt and betrayed me first.”
“I’m just worried that you’ll feel heartache for her after hearing my plan, so before you agree to working with me and I reveal my plan, I need you to make a promise with me.”
She sat up and rested her elbows on the table as she stared at him.
“Your plan… will hurt Ge Ge?”
A deep furrow appeared between his brows as he asked.
“In theory, yes.” She casually nodded uncaringly.
“What are you planning to do to her?! Let me warn you: Don’t you dare use the tricks you use on other women who like Ziming on her! If not, I’ll make you pay a painful price!”
He flared up at this. His whole attention was on if she would hurt Pei Ge, so how could he possibly still think of collaborating with her?
“Looks like you really like that woman. Still, that’s no surprise. She’s your first love, after all.” She raised an eyebrow upon seeing his agitation, and her eyes flashed with resentment and jealousy.
She was jealous that that woman had such an outstanding man who loved her deeply. She resented that the woman could not compare to her in anything yet was loved by many.
“Hmph!”
He coldly snorted and started pondering on how to oppose this vile and scheming woman.
“Rest a.s.sured; since I want to work with you, I won’t do something as stupid as hurting her.”
She looked at him with a smile.
“What the h.e.l.l are you thinking of doing, then?”
He coldly regarded her but felt a subtle sense of antic.i.p.ation inside.
“Do you know that misunderstandings are the bane of a couple’s relations.h.i.+p? Piling those up can turn even a loving couple into enemies. There’s also this thing called ‘taking advantage of the crack to enter.’”
She gave him an overview of her plan.
This made the man purse his lips tightly.
After a long pause, he finally spoke. “No! She’ll be very hurt by this! No way! This plan can’t be carried out!”
