Chapter 217 Does the word "stupid" appear on my forehead?
Snap!
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a cell phone shutter rang out.
Fang Li's heart tightened, and she saw the photo she had taken shrunk and fell to the lower left corner.
"Do you think Han Xi will come back like this? Aren't you holding a grudge against Han Xi because he kicked the Lu family out of the Taihu Bay project? What you're doing will only make the relationship between the Han and Lu families worse, and your Lu family will never have the chance to cooperate with the Han family again!"
"So confident?"
Lu Jie lowered his eyes and looked at Fang Li, a cold look flashing across his eyes, and he curled his lips: "Although Han Xi has had very few gossips in recent years, are you sure he will break up with the Lu family because of you?"
"You should ask Young Master Lu yourself. After all, some lessons can only be understood by the person involved."
Lu Jie's eyes darkened slightly, and then he smiled: "You are indeed quite clever, worthy of being the woman I have my eyes on, but it's a pity that you are only a little clever."
Fang Li didn't understand what he meant and frowned slightly.
Lu Jie: "The idea of risking one's life for a woman truly moves people, but unfortunately, anyone could do such a passionate and impulsive act, except Han Xi. He will never do that."
"Let's not even talk about whether Han Xi, the head of the Han family, would publicly fight with the young master of the Lu family over a woman. Just think about the cooperative relationship between the Han and Lu families. Do you think Han Xi can just break it off with a single word?"
Fang Li: “….”
"Why did Han Xi kick Lu out of the Taihu Bay project? Why did Shengshi Group jump in right after Lu left? Do you really think all this is a coincidence?"
Seeing Fang Lishui's eyes narrowed and she remained silent, Lu Jie lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Do you remember Sun Zhixin? I heard that the Sheng family has been looking for him. Where do you think he is now?"
Fang Li's heart skipped a beat, and her throat tightened. "How would I know? That scumbag, who knows how many people he's offended? He might even be being held captive by some enemy seeking revenge."
"Heh." Lu Jie suddenly chuckled, then looked at Fang Li without blinking.
Fang Li felt her spine tingle when she saw him looking at her, and her heart sank a little bit.
The scene of the first time I met Sheng Qianrui suddenly appeared in my mind. It seemed that she came here for Sun Zhixin. Later, President Sheng appeared in the villa halfway up the mountain. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he seemed to have hinted at this matter.
Could it be...?
Seeing that Fang Li had doubts in her heart, but her face was still calm and there was almost no clue, a flash of admiration appeared in Lu Jie's eyes.
Then he curled his lips slightly and said, "If you want to know whether what I said is true or not, you can ask Han Lao Er directly when he comes back. From what I know about him, he will not hide it from you as long as you ask. But..."
"As a friend, I want to advise you that Han Xi is not as simple as you think. If you don't want to get deeper into trouble, it's best not to ask anything."
Fang Li was about to believe what he said, but when she heard his contradictory words, she suddenly sneered.
"So, what does Mr. Lu want to tell me?"
"On the one hand, you're saying Han Xi is a double-faced, unfathomable and dangerous person, telling me to be wary of him and question him. On the other hand, you're warning me, in what you believe to be sincere words, that it's best not to delve into the matter. You're saying both the truth and the falsehood, and in the end, you can't even produce any evidence. And you're just throwing a bucket of mud at Han Xi for no apparent reason."
Fang Li's eyes were icy. "Mr. Lu, do I have the word 'stupid' written on my forehead? Why did you go to so much trouble to create so many irrelevant things to sow discord between me and Han Xi?"
"Do you think I'm deliberately provoking you?"
"Isn't it? You and Han Xi have been at odds since childhood. It's no secret in Beijing, right? I heard that you liked a girl in college and were about to confess your feelings to her, but Han Xi played some tricks on you, and the girl ran away with him the next day. So, because of this, you've always wanted to make Han Xi suffer a love failure, and that's why you targeted me, right?!"
The smile in Lu Jie's eyes froze, "Who told you this?"
"Did I get it right? So you really have been holding a grudge against Han Xi because of this incident?"
“.......”
The strength of her grip on the wrist increased little by little, and Fang Li became more certain of her guess.
However, the next moment, Lu Jie suddenly relaxed and smiled, "You're right, there really is such a girl. However, she didn't dump me for Han Xi. She dumped me because Han Xi came to her on his own initiative."
Fang Li suddenly frowned, with disbelief in her eyes.
Lu Jie smiled meaningfully, but he didn't intend to explain in detail. He just said, "Do you know why Han Xi hasn't had any scandals around him in all these years?"
“.......”
"It's just as you think. Every man has a rare and precious sweetheart in his heart, and Han Xi is no exception."
Fang Li's eyes flickered, and Lu Jie saw a hint of triumph flash across the corner of her eyes.
"Now you understand why I reminded you to pretend you know nothing and not ask Han Xi, right? If you still want to stay in the capital and don't want your relationship with Han Xi to end here, playing dumb is your only option."
"Smart women know how to bide their time and rely on men's power to strengthen themselves. I just said you were smart, but are you going to make me break my promise?"
Fang Li was silent for a long time.
After a long while, she suddenly spoke in a light tone: "Why should I rely on him?"
"What did you say?"
Fang Li raised her eyes, a sneer in her eyes, "Do you think that without Han Xi, I will have no place to stay in this huge capital? Or do you think I am just a vase that can't distinguish right from wrong and will be led around by the nose by your words?"
Lu Jie's black eyes narrowed slightly.
Fang Li curled her lips and said, "You, Lu Jie, may be a wealthy young man in the capital who no one dares to provoke. I'm new here and I really don't want to provoke you wealthy families, but not wanting to provoke doesn't mean I dare not provoke you."
"You're the first woman who dares to speak to me like that. Does it seem like you have another card up your sleeve?"
"Mr. Lu can try."
The smile on Lu Jie's lips faded slightly, and he stared at her dimly for a while.
"Since Mr. Lu has said everything he wanted to say, can you let go now?" Fang Li said in a cold tone.
Lu Jie's eyes flashed and he turned his eyes away nonchalantly.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the photo in his phone, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He didn't know whether his purpose from the beginning was to get this photo, and now that he had the photo, he no longer bothered Fang Li, or Fang Li's words worked, and he quickly let go.
As soon as she was freed, Fang Li immediately stepped back, keeping a distance from Lu Jie.
Looking at the woman who avoided him like a snake, Lu Jie put away his phone and smiled softly: "You really don't want to have anything to do with me?"
Fang Li felt pent up in her heart and really wanted to say, "Do you think you are so popular?"
Why do you think everyone wants to be associated with you?!
But the breath rolled up and down in her chest several times, and she swallowed it hard when it reached her mouth.
It's obvious that the angrier you are, the more interesting this man finds him.
He seems to be keen on seeing you get upset. Your anxiety invisibly satisfies his bad taste. He likes to see you get confused and panicked because of him.
Thinking of this, Fang Li's eyes flashed slightly, and her heart calmed down instantly.
In that case, why don't I just make you feel bored?
Fang Li pursed her lips, her expression gradually becoming colder. "Mr. Lu, you're joking. There are so many people in the capital who want to make friends with you. As long as you don't make such boring jokes with people every time, who can have too many friends?"
"Really? So you consider me a friend?"
Fang Li's mouth twitched, and she forced a smile, "That depends on what Mr. Lu thinks of me."
Lu Jie looked at her for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth lazily, "Cunning."
