Luo Xiu, who was usually calm and collected, trembled slightly, spilling some red wine onto Yuri's beautiful dress.
"My dress!" Yuri jumped up in a panic.
It's embarrassing to have your skirt dirty in such an occasion.
Lu Zhiwei hurried over, opened the gift box in her hand, and handed it to You Li: "Miss You Li, I just happened to prepare a dress. Do you like it?"
Shen Jinmo glanced at the dress she took out; it was the latest flagship style from the Lu Group this season.
"You're quite good at business," Shen Jinmo teased Lu Zhiwei in a low voice.
She followed him out to work, and didn't forget to promote her own brand.
Lu Zhiwei never makes a decision without preparation.
Since it's a birthday gift, whether it's jewelry or clothing, it will be the most popular gift for women.
"Wow, this is LU brand's latest limited edition, it hasn't been released yet, how did you get it?" Yuri was very knowledgeable and immediately recognized the dress's value. She took the dress out of the gift box with both hands, admiring it.
“I have acquaintances in the company,” Lu Zhiwei said modestly.
"I'll go upstairs to change, wait for me a moment." Yuri took the dress and went upstairs.
Sitting on the sofa, Luo Xiu gripped the wine glass tightly in his hand, his fingers tightening as if he wanted to crush the glass instantly.
She kept saying she was tired and needed to rest.
In the blink of an eye, she arrived here with her ex-husband, Shen Jinmo.
What a little liar.
“Governor, please continue your conversation with President Shen. This Miss Lu is my friend. I have something to say to her, so please excuse me for a moment.” Luo Xiu could no longer contain his anger and slammed his wine glass heavily on the table.
He took Lu Zhiwei's hand and led her to the back garden.
The garden, filled with roses, still exudes a captivating fragrance at night.
Luo Xiu grabbed Lu Zhiwei's arms with both hands and pushed her against the backyard wall. His deep blue eyes were filled with frost: "Zhizhi, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Did you know I was going to be here for a social event, and you still deliberately followed that guy?"
“I only have a working relationship with him, and besides, he has amnesia and doesn’t remember me. Are you so agitated because you’re planning to tell him everything about our past?” Lu Zhiwei asked with a smirk.
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth: "Go back! I order you to go back right now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do."
"What are you panicking about? Did I catch you and the governor's daughter having an affair and you're angry because I'm embarrassed?" Lu Zhiwei deliberately provoked him.
"I don't like her, and I could never like her. In this life, the only person I, Luo Xiu, will ever love is you." Luo Xiu's eyes were filled with determination.
The windowsill of the second-floor bedroom.
Standing on the windowsill, Yuri looked at the scene in the garden below, her expression growing increasingly frightening.
While talking to the governor in the reception room, Shen Jingmo kept glancing at the backyard, looking somewhat absent-minded.
The atmosphere was awkward for a few minutes before Lu Zhiwei smiled and reminded him, "You're here for work, and I'm here for work too. We can just leave each other alone. If you keep bothering me like this, I'm afraid the governor will start to doubt our relationship."
Lu Zhiwei knows Luo Xiu too well. The current governor was just elected this year and has not yet been brought under the control of the Luo family. He has not figured out Luo Xiu's temperament. Before he can bring benefits to the Luo family, Luo Xiu will definitely not offend him easily.
Luo Xiu slowly released his grip on Lu Zhiwei and straightened his suit: "Okay, we'll only talk about work tonight."
He had always known that Lu Zhiwei was career-oriented.
He couldn't stop her either.
The two returned to the reception room one after the other.
Yuli had already changed into the dress that Lu Zhiwei had sent today; the deep V-neck design accentuated her great figure, making her even more sexy.
The dress is a deep sea gradient blue, and the fabric is a cloud-patterned gold-plated silk specially supplied by the Lu Group.
The high slit in her skirt made her appear elegant, sophisticated, and graceful as she walked down the stairs.
The governor was overjoyed to see how beautiful his daughter was.
"My daughter looks so beautiful today."
Yuri enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by attention, which made her more confident and poised.
Shen Jinmo held his water glass and drank silently, without looking up at the stunningly beautiful You Li.
However, Luo Xiu had no choice but to show the same amazed expression as the governor and join him in praising the governor.
"Miss Yuri looks beautiful today."
Yuri snuggled up to the governor and pressed her cheek against her father's: "Dad, I really like the dresses from the LU brand. I want to wear an even prettier one for my birthday party."
“Since Miss Yuri likes this brand, I can give you a custom-made piece. Coincidentally, I know the best designer at LU brand. Consider it a birthday gift for Miss Yuri,” Luo Xiu said first.
His ambition was written all over his face.
Before Shen Jinmo and Lu Zhiwei could make their move, he had to take down the governor's family first.
Luo Xiu's offer of a gift was exactly what Yuri wanted, and she nodded happily: "Then thank you in advance, Brother Luo Xiu."
Shen Jinmo sipped his tea calmly, adopting the demeanor of an observer, keeping a low profile, seemingly quite different from Luo Xiu, a radical and ambitious man.
“Miss Yuri, once you’ve chosen a dress you’re happy with, you’ll need matching jewelry. This Miss Lu is the excellent jewelry designer I’ve brought along.”
Shen Jinmo put down his teacup and slowly opened his mouth.
"I've already ordered jewelry from TK, specifically from designer W. Her designs are unique and perfectly suit my style and preferences. I won't consider any other designers." Yuri's eyes held a hint of hostility towards Lu Zhiwei.
Therefore, she would never choose to cooperate with Lu Zhiwei, no matter what.
“Alright, since Miss Yuri has found a more suitable candidate, we won’t force her,” Lu Zhiwei said, feigning regret.
In any case, the W designer that Ms. Yuri is looking for is still herself.
When she uses her identity as W to refuse her request, and then comes back to ask her for help with the design, she can raise the price and make a hefty profit.
Shen Jinmo understood Lu Zhiwei's thoughts perfectly, and did not continue to try to win her over, nor did he raise any questions to Lu Zhiwei.
"Daughter, I've seen Shen's jewelry before, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied. But it still has to be something you like." The governor was keen on cooperating with Shen Jinmo.
Since his daughter didn't give Shen Jinmo any face, Governor Pritt could only smile and smooth things over: "Let's not talk about work anymore. Dinner is ready. Let's go have dinner."
The group left the reception room and headed towards the dining room.
When arranging the seats, Yuri deliberately sat next to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu wanted to sit next to Lu Zhiwei, but he couldn't refuse You Li's approach.
Luo Xiu felt frustrated and indignant after the meal.
I drank quite a bit of alcohol at the dinner table.
In order to keep Luo Xiu a little longer, Yuri put down her cutlery and suggested, "After dinner, how about the four of us have a shooting competition? I like playing this game, and I even had my dad build a shooting range in the backyard."
