Lin Qian took a deep breath and tried to take the necklace off her neck with trembling hands.

But the small ring-shaped button could not be unfastened no matter how hard he tried.

The moisture in her eyes was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't see clearly the movements of her hands in the mirror, but she still insisted on unbuttoning the necklace in front of the mirror.

During this process, she kept telling herself: the relationship between her and Li Yanxiu was just a mutual one, she needed her rights, and he wanted her body. One day when he got tired of her, it would be time for her to leave, and now she was just repaying his favor, she was not stupid enough to really think that Li Yanxiu would marry her!

There were people coming and going in the bathroom, and everyone passing by would look at her in surprise, as if she were a monster.

She came back to her senses instantly and remembered that she was still in the building of Li Group.

After figuring this out, she tidied herself up and walked out.

At the front desk, Lu Jingchuan's assistant was standing there communicating with the receptionist.

The receptionist asked politely, "Excuse me, does Mr. Lu have an appointment?"

Lu Jingchuan's assistant seemed a little embarrassed and pleaded, "Our President Lu really has something urgent to discuss with your President Li. Please communicate with him."

"Just a moment."

After all, the entire Li family knew that Mr. Lu was about to marry into the Li family, and no one dared to offend him easily.

The receptionist kept on smiling professionally and called the president's office.

"Hello, this is the front desk. Is Mr. Li free now? Mr. Lu from the Lu Group wants to meet with Mr. Li."

After a long while, a message came from the president's office. The receptionist looked surprised when she heard the phone call, but she quickly put on a professional smile.

After hanging up the phone, she politely replied to Lu Jingchuan's assistant, "I'm sorry, Assistant Chen, President Li said he's busy right now, and we have other uses for the land in Nancheng District under the Li Group. President Lu, please go back."

Lu Jingchuan's assistant didn't expect that the Li and Lu families would soon become one family. Moreover, President Lu came in person, but he rejected him without even meeting him.

Lu Jingchuan's assistant walked to the sofa area next to him without wasting a second and told Lu Jingchuan the bad news.

Lu Jingchuan was not surprised at all to receive this news.

After all, several major projects had failed before, all of which were intercepted by the Li Group. Lu Jingchuan could see clearly that Li Yanxiu was teaching him a lesson in private.

He didn't want to admit defeat, but this crisis was no small matter.

The Lu Group is developing a hot spring resort project and the design plan has been completed. However, halfway through the process, it was discovered that the land use rights of an important high-quality water source belonged to the Li Group.

If this piece of land is not acquired, all the previous plans of the Lu Group will be a piece of waste paper, and all the land purchased before will be useless.

There was no other way, he could only come to find Li Yanxiu in person.

Li Yanxiu is worthy of being known as the most ruthless businessman in the imperial capital. Not only can he keenly perceive market trends and business opportunities, he can also set traps very early and wait for Lu Jingchuan to step into them accurately.

He thought that he had planned a good business blueprint, but it turned out to be a trap designed by himself.

He, Lu Jingchuan, admitted defeat and was defeated miserably.

Whether it's career or love...

Lu Jingchuan felt irritated.

He didn't say anything else, picked up the cigarette on the table, stood up and walked out.

Lu Jingchuan put the cigarette in his mouth and took out a lighter to light it. A figure passed by him and he stopped what he was doing.
