The meeting ended in discord.

Now everyone knows about the falling out between Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan.

Their conflict escalated again afterward.

In short, Yun Suiwan opposed everything Lu Dongjue supported.

They never agree.

Manager Liu was caught in the middle, torn between two options.

Gu Fanyan would occasionally appear in front of Yun Suiwan, and each time she would be mocked by Ye Lina.

And every time Yelena mocked her, Lu Dongjue would coincidentally see it.

This time and twice, Lu Dongjue didn't say anything.

But how could Gu Fanyan, a mere secretary, have the right to repeatedly reprimand Yun Suiwan?

“Miss Gu, your relationship with our CEO Yun isn’t that good, so don’t pretend to be nice here.” Yelena showed no respect for Gu Fanyan in front of the others.

This Miss Gu is quite interesting. Since coming to the mountain, she hasn't been spending time with Mr. Lu, but instead comes to see President Yun from time to time.

She knew perfectly well about the past relationship between President Yun and President Lu, yet she still frequently flaunted their affection.

Isn't this guy just indebted?

President Yun spared Gu Fanyan's pride and didn't confront her, but he wouldn't tolerate her actions.

Hearing Yelena's words, Gu Fanyan looked a little embarrassed and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was just concerned about Suiwan's health."

"Just mind your own business and stop bothering me!"

"Enough!"

Just then, Lu Dongjue strode over.

Upon seeing Lu Dongjue, Gu Fanyan immediately displayed her aggrieved demeanor.

"Dongjue..."

Lu Dongjue frowned and looked coldly at Yelena. "Who are you talking to?"

Yelena was extremely displeased to see Lu Dongjue standing up for Gu Fanyan, but she couldn't say anything, so she simply kept quiet.

"No manners."

Everyone here knows who Gu Fanyan is; how could a mere secretary like her be so disrespectful?

This is practically a slap in the face to Lu Dongjue.

Yelena lowered her head and silently endured it.

Just then, Yun Suiwan came out of the house.

"Mr. Lu, who are you calling unruly? Yelena is my person. She takes a salary from my Yun Group, not a single penny from your Lu Group. What right do you have to lecture her?"

As soon as Yun Suiwan spoke, she immediately raised the bar to its maximum.

"Dongjue, let's go back." Gu Fanyan grabbed Lu Dongjue's arm directly. Her submissive appearance only made Lu Dongjue more unhappy.

Yun Suiwan is incredibly capable; he dares to bully anyone.

“Miss Yun, since she’s your person, you should keep her in check. Fan Yan is my person. If you dare to speak ill of her again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Lu Dongjue directly used "you all" instead of "your people," which means he believed that Yun Suiwan and his secretary were ganging up on Gu Fanyan.

"Heh." Yun Suiwan sneered, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Gu Fanyan.

Her sister Fanyan is not one to pretend to be weak; her current delicate appearance makes it easy for anyone to see through her act.

“Mr. Lu, you really treat the construction site like your own home. If you really can’t manage, you can come down the mountain now, and I can keep a close eye on the project for you.”

Yun Suiwan was mocking him, saying that it was absurd for him to bring a woman to the office.

“Miss Yun, you seem to have made a mistake. The Lu Group has the largest stake in this project, while your Yun family is sidelined.”

"Oh, really? Fine, from today onwards, I will oppose any project you approve. I want to see if the project can proceed without my approval."

Ji Qujue frowned; this woman was simply being unreasonable.

How can a project be treated so lightly?

"If you have any grievances against me at the end of the year, just say so. Don't joke about the project," Gu Fanyan said.

Yun Suiwan scoffed at her, "Miss Gu's words are quite interesting. What grudge do I hold against you? Are we that close?"

"At the end of the year, you..."

"It's you who have come to my room time and time again, disturbing my work, which is really annoying."

As soon as Yun Suiwan said this, everyone with eyes could understand that Gu Fanyan had been constantly provoking Yun Suiwan.

Lu Dongjue understood as well.

“Mr. Lu, let me remind you again, Yelena is my person, and no one can teach her a lesson. If I run into her again next time, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Heh, you're welcome? How could she possibly be unreserved?

She's so arrogant.

As more and more people gathered, he couldn't do anything to her. A good man doesn't fight with a woman, lest he become a laughingstock.

Seeing that Lu Dongjue didn't say anything more, Yun Suiwan took Yelena back to her room.

Lu Dongjue also left with a gloomy face.

Gu Fanyan quickly followed, and after returning to the room, Lu Dongjue asked, "What did you go to see her for?"

“We’re all friends, we see each other all the time. You and her have been having a lot of trouble lately, I’d like to ease things up.”

Gu Fanyan's words were perfectly watertight.

“If you two don’t get along, it will affect the progress of the project. I feel sorry for you because you work so hard every day.”

After hearing her words, Lu Dongjue couldn't find any fault with her.

Moreover, over the past few days, he has also discovered that Yun Suiwan is truly a ridiculous woman.

I mostly do things according to my own whims.

Was she doing this simply to get her attention?

When Lu Dongjue thought about all her actions, didn't he think she had gone too far?

Yun Suiwan didn't show up for dinner, and everyone else was secretly observing him.

It was as if there was some unknown gossip between him and Yun Suiwan.

This is perhaps the result Yun Suiwan wanted.

She deliberately spread rumors about him.

Judging from her attitude towards Gu Fanyan, she has basically laid her cards on the table.

He would not allow Yun Suiwan to make such a move.

Firstly, it would affect his reputation; secondly, he wasn't interested in her, so she should stop with her pointless tricks.

**

By 10 p.m., most of the others had gone to bed.

Lu Dongjue arrived outside Yun Suiwan's residence. The light was still on in her room, indicating that she had not yet gone to sleep.

He went up and knocked on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, a soft, sweet female voice came from inside the house, "Coming."

When Yun Suiwan opened the door, the two of them faced each other and were both stunned.

Yun Suiwan's smile froze, and then she said to him with a cold expression, "Mr. Lu, is there something you need?"

Upon seeing Yun Suiwan's indifferent attitude, Lu Dongjue instantly felt a surge of anger.

She did those bluffing things just to get my attention.

She and Gu Fanyan have already fallen out, so what's the point of pretending now?

She thought she had done something flawless?

Little did she know, the more she acted this way, the more disgusted he became.

Seeing Lu Dongjue speak, Yun Suiwan was about to close the door.

Lu Dongjue stuck his foot against the door, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he said, "You're not happy to see me?"
