“Li Ze, I can tolerate you going out with other women, but 1 won’t allow you to frame me without evidence. I didn’t do it. Why should 1 admit to something that isn’t true?”

Lu Huai realized that he was the cause of this incident. He quickly stepped forward and said, “It has nothing to do with Jiang Yan. I have my own power in Haicheng. I just didn’t expect Pei Xin to escape to Haicheng. 1 investigated Pei Xin’s social circle and found Annie. I found out that Annie’s hometown was in Haicheng, so 1 sent people to Haicheng to look for her. All of this was my own hard work. It has nothing to do with Jiang Yan.”

Jiang Yan glared at Li Ze. “Did you hear that? Lu Huai found out all this himself. Stop blaming everything on me.”

Li Ze had a complicated expression on his face.

He could tell from Lu Huai’s expression that he was not lying.

However, he still did not trust Jiang Yan.

He did not think that Jiang Yan, as his future wife, would be so magnanimous and kind to Pei Xin.

She took Pei Xin in and even gave her a job.

He wanted to question Jiang Yan’s true motive. He was afraid that Pei Xin would be hurt.

Jiang Yan was trying to clear her name. She didn’t want anything to do with Li Ze anymore. She looked at Pei Xin and asked, “Are you guys done? What are your plans?”

“I’ll be responsible for the land project until it completes, but after the auction is over, I’ll follow Lu Huai back to Beijing,” Pei Xin said apologetically.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly. “Why? What did he threaten you with?”

Pei Xin shook her head. “1 have some matters I need to clear. 1 can only do it in the capital.”

Jiang Yan looked deeply at Pei Xin. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I want to go back.” Pei Xin nodded. “I’ve already paid them back my due. This time, 1 want to take back everything that belongs to me.”

Jiang Yan saw that Pei Xin had regained some confidence and nodded in satisfaction. Even Lu Huai looked satisfied.

At first, she thought that Lu Huai and Lu Li were in cahoots and that they were the bad guys who bullied Pei Xin.

Now, it seemed that the Lu family was not all bad guys.

Li Ze suggested that since Lu Huai was here, they might as well go to the bar and indulge themselves.

He also congratulated Pei Xin on her new beginning.

Lu Huai and Jiang Yan agreed.

Pei Xin also happily went over.

She wanted revenge. She wanted to make Ling Xue and Zhou Jing disgusted and let everyone know about their schemes.

They went to Blue Night Bar.

Seeing that Li Ze and Jiang Yan had come together, the manager came out to personally attend to their needs.

The manager was from Haicheng, so he knew about Li Ze and Jiang Yan’s status. He knew that these two were big shots that shouldn’t be offended.

The manager had never met Lu Huai from Beijing before, but it did not stop him from respecting Lu Huai and Pei Xin.

Those who could be friends with big shots were definitely people of high status.

The manager brought the four of them to the best private room.

Li Ze ordered some wine.

Just as the four of them were drinking and chatting, someone banged on the door of their private room from outside.

Li Ze frowned and slammed the wine on the table. “Who the heck is that?”

Jiang Yan looked at him mockingly. “Maybe it’s one of your lovers.”

Li Ze glanced at her. “I’m not someone who doesn’t have self-discipline. No one would dare to be so presumptuous as to be called my lover.”

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Li Ze stood up and opened the door.

It was Lu Li and Pei Yu.

Lu Li barged in the moment he saw Pei Xin.

He stepped forward and was about to grab Pei Xin’s wrist but the back of his neck was grabbed instead.

Lu Li finally noticed that his brother, Lu Huai, was also here.

“W-why are you here?” Lu Li looked at Lu Huai in shock.

He received news that Pei Xin was in Haicheng. As soon as he arrived in Haicheng, he heard that Li Ze had come to the bar.

Lu Li immediately rushed over with his men.

However, he had never expected that Lu Huai would be here as well. How did he find Pei Xin first?

What was Lu Huai’s motive for being here?
