Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Easily Persuaded by Man

The card wasn’t heavy at all, but Song Yan felt like he had been slapped.

Just a week ago, Lu Qingzhi was the clingy person who waited for him outside the club until 2 in the morning.

And now, she threw a card with only a million in his face to humiliate him. No one had ever dared to be so audacious in front of him.

Lu Wanwan stood by the wall, feeling somewhat lost.

What surprised her the most at this moment wasn’t that Song Yan pushed her away, nor was it that Song Yan and Huo Jiting were at odds with each other because of someone else. It was because Huo Jiting laughed.

In her previous life, she got to know him and liked to get close to him. However, as she grew closer, she realized he was a person with an outwardly warm but inwardly cold demeanor. Despite his noble and refined appearance, his inner self was cold. Even his smiles seemed rehearsed, making it difficult for people to detect flaws.

But now, the current version of Huo Jiting was genuinely laughing because of this scene. His eyes and lips were filled with genuine laughter, making her feel thrilled and uncomfortable.

He was a revered kingpin in the Yordania business world, holding assets that could rival the Lus. Yet, he was genuinely delighted over one million?

How could it be so easy?

Lu Qingzhi glanced at her fiancé and noticed that he had restrained his smile and seemed to be texting someone.

Song Yan’s face turned cold this time, and he struggled to suppress his anger. “Lu Qingzhi, don’t go too far in everything. Be careful. My patience is limited!”

He was curious about what was in Lu Qingzhi’s mind.

At first, he thought Lu Qingzhi was using Ji Huo to provoke him. However, he increasingly felt that Lu Qingzhi was genuinely protecting Ji Huo.

Could it be that she was rejected too many times, gave up on herself, and then fell for Ji Huo, an obscure, pretty boy who easily won her over with just a few words?

By bringing someone of unknown background into the family, she risked destroying the Lus’ century-old legacy.

Qingzhi swung her leg and rested her chin on her hand as she contemplated, “Whether or not you have unlimited patience, it has nothing to do with me. But my patience is running thin! Are you going to leave, Song Yan? Your presence here is annoying me!”

This downright inflammatory response fueled the fire and truly infuriated Song Yan. He wanted to open Lu Qingzhi’s head to see what was inside.

Just as he stepped forward, Ji Huo lightly kicked a bottle of bird’s nest in front of him. Song Yan stepped on it and slipped, hitting his back against the wall with a loud thud, feeling like his internal organs were about to burst out.

Lu Wanwan gasped and took several steps back.

Qingzhi was startled. Even her casted foot stopped swaying. She looked at her inattentive fiancé and then gave Qian Xiao a signal. “Quick, get someone to help Mr. Song go see a doctor!”

Don’t wait for Song Yan to react and cause trouble with Ji Huo!

“Is it a tradition of the Songs to lay hands on women, or is it just your instinct, Song Yan?” Ji Huo pulled Qingzhi’s wheelchair a bit further away.

“Damn it! Are you looking for death?” Song Yan shook off Qian Xiao, his face darkening.

He had no intention of laying hands on Lu Qingzhi. He had forgotten why he stepped forward. He was just furious, but he would never lay hands on Lu Qingzhi, no matter how angry he was.

With those words from this pretty boy, Lu Qingzhi must have thought he intended to hit her.

The pretty boy didn’t have good intentions!

“Yeah, you can try!” Ji Huo turned his wrist, removed the watch, and put it on Qingzhi’s wrist.
