The woman could not see. She did not know that Lu Feng’s eyes were red at this moment. There was deep sorrow and longing in his eyes. He looked deeply at her, full of reluctance. But even so, he did not stay too long. He turned sideways to make way as he watched her leave until she was out of his sight.
When Lu Feng returned to his seat, his expression turned calm again. His eyes were cold as he looked at Shen Hanxing and asked, “Who are you? What’s your purpose?”
“Let’s get to know each other. I’m Shen Hanxing,” Shen Hanxing smiled, “nice to meet you.”
“Mrs. Ji?” Lu Feng squinted his eyes and sneered, “Mrs. Ji, who can make my nephew obsessed and make my family chaotic? I’ve heard so much about you.”
Shen Hanxing ignored the mockery in Lu Feng’s words. She smiled and said, “Is that so? I’m also curious about you, Mr. Lu Feng.” Everyone said that after Lu Feng lost his right to inherit, he lost all his fighting spirit and became mediocre. But… Shen Hanxing knew a man with that look in his eyes wouldn’t be modest.
“Your flowers are lovely,” Shen Hanxing smiled. She held the cup and said, “The meaning of these white lilies is happiness forever. Mr. Lu, you want that beautiful lady to be happy.”
“What exactly do you want?” Lu Feng instantly became vigilant. His gaze was cold as he said, “Mrs. Ji if you have something to say, say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
“Mr. Lu, there’s no need to be nervous,” Shen Hanxing waved her hand and smiled, “I came to look for you because I want to cooperate with you, not to make enemies with you.”
“Cooperate with me? With a manager like me?” Lu Feng sneered, “have you lost your mind, Mrs. Ji? I don’t have the final say in the Lu Corporation. I’m just an idle person with a fixed salary. If you want to cooperate, I’m afraid you have found the wrong person. You should look for that nephew of mine.” He paused and sneered, “After all, Mrs. Ji’s methods are superb. That nephew of mine is probably willing to cooperate with you. Moreover, you have the Ji Corporation backing you up. My big brother will be happy if he is willing to cooperate with the Lu Corporation.”
“Mr. Lu, I came today with sincerity,” The smile on Shen Hanxing’s face faded slightly. She looked at Lu Feng and said, “I hope you can talk to me properly. After all, we have a common enemy. Before I came, I thought you hadn’t accepted your fate. I didn’t expect that… these years have polished off your arrogance.” She curled her lips she looked at Lu Feng with the same mocking gaze, “Time can wear away your arrogance, but I wonder if it can wear away your hatred?”
Lu Feng’s expression suddenly turned cold. His gaze landed firmly on Shen Hanxing’s face. With a quick inspection, he seemed to be probing whether what she said was true or false.
“I have always been vengeful,” Shen Hanxing picked up a fork and placed a piece of dessert in her mouth. She said coldly, “those who offend me should pay the price.”
“Mrs. Ji,” Lu Feng was silent for a moment before asking, “are you sure you can make the decision?” A wealthy lady was not his ideal partner unless she could represent the Ji Corporation.
“Mr. Lu, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that I have my investment company,” Shen Hanxing lifted her eyebrows. She looked at Lu Feng indifferently, “this is a collaboration between us. I hope that the person you trust most is me, not the Ji Corporation.”
Shen Hanxing was young. According to her age, if she was in an ordinary wealthy family, she should be in school. The most important thing she cared about daily was dressing up and playing. However, Shen Hanxing’s eyes exuded a strong sense of confidence. Her expression made it easy to overlook her age when she looked over and spoke. Lu Feng even imagined that the person sitting opposite him was not a young girl but an old fox who had been in the business world for a long time.
“Mr. Lu, it has been more than ten years,” Shen Hanxing tasted the dessert in her mouth. The overly sweet taste made her frown. She put down her fork and said, “are you willing to continue being like this? Seeing the Lu family being happy. Don’t you want to see them suffer for what they had done to you?”
“Miss Shen, has anyone ever praised your eloquence?” Lu Feng inadvertently changed how he addressed her, which meant his attitude had softened. He sighed lightly. Then, he compromised and said, “I have to say, you have successfully convinced me. What do you need me to do? Just tell me.” His face was filled with determination. Deep hatred surged in his eyes as if he had chosen to give all in. “I agree to this cooperation.”
