Jiang Lan raised her head with tears in her eyes, and Pei Qing laughed sarcastically.

"You're not still waiting for him to save you, are you?"

Jiang Lan was stunned.

Pei Qingsheng knelt down in front of her and ruthlessly broke her illusion, "Do you know why things have developed to the point they are today?"

Jiang Lan's breath caught in her breath, and she stared at him.

"You really don't know?"

"Did he really not find you in the three days when you disappeared last time?"

He came closer to her and said softly, "No, he knows where you are. He just didn't come to save you. He was setting a trap for me."

Pei Qing said and laughed, playing with her hair with his fingers, "You are such a pitiful little mute. It was all his fault that I brought you here today."

Jiang Lan's tears fell, like broken beads, running down her chin and falling on the plate drop by drop.

"What do you think he is doing now?"

"He should be preparing for the shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow. He should be busy kicking his father out and how to kill his sister. As for you, you may have to stand in the back row."

Jiang Lan squeezed the plate tightly, her chest heaving violently.

"If he cares about you now, he has to negotiate terms with me, and he knows in his heart that he can't afford the terms I want."

"So, I might as well just ignore you, which is equivalent to directly rejecting the opportunity to negotiate terms with me."

"But it's normal. After all, she's just a woman. What does she mean in the face of interests? I like her, but I won't let him give up everything for you, right?"

She shouldn't believe Pei Qingsheng's words, but they still penetrated into her heart.

Like sharp needles piercing her heart.

Jiang Lan lowered her head and wolfed down the rice. It had no taste in her mouth, but she kept eating it.

Pei Qingsheng also squatted on the ground with her, watching her finish the meal on the plate.

After a while, Jiang Lan sniffed and put the plate on the ground. She looked up at Pei Qingsheng, her eyes glowing red.

It was getting dark outside and the light in the room was dim. Pei Qingsheng touched her cheek with her palm and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

In a daze, Jiang Lan remembered that every time Lu Jingchi treated her like this, she couldn't help but fall for him every time.

Now that Pei Qingsheng was there for comparison, she suddenly realized how cheap and sentimental Lu Jingchi's work was.

Men are all creatures who can disguise themselves. No matter how annoying or disliked someone they are, they can still act gently and affectionately.

Lu Jingchi is like this, and Pei Qingsheng is like this too.

For them, they won't lose anything, it's just a matter of moving their fingers.

When faced with real interests, their choices are their true colors.

After a while, Pei Qing stood up and said, "It's done."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back, leaving the food on the table untouched.

Jiang Lan raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face. She got up obediently and put away the dishes.

At the foot of the mountain, Yujiangting——

Lin Zheng looked at the lights on in the study. He hesitated outside for a long time, then went over and knocked on the door.

Lu Jingchi looked at the information in his hand without raising his head, "Come in."

Lin Zheng walked into the study quickly and said, "Mr. Lu, we have already contacted those shareholders, so everything should be safe."

"Um."

Lin Zheng opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Lu Jingchi waited for a while and then suddenly raised his head, "Is there anything else?"

"Madam...are you really not looking for me?"

Lu Jingchi moved for a moment and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he finally said, "Did you find it?"

"Not yet. What I mean is, do we have to intensify the search? If we continue to look for a needle in a haystack, what year and month will we find?"

Lu Jingchi put down the information in his hand, looked at Lin Zheng, and was silent for a long time.

"You go out first."

"Mr. Lu, that person Pei Qingsheng..."

"Get out!" Lu Jingchi suddenly raised his voice, with a terrifying chill in his eyes, which frightened Lin Zheng into shutting up immediately.
