Chapter 194: Telling the Truth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Lu Huai, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Xu Lian was panicking, but she did not dare to show it on her face. “There’s no need to speak out here. Let’s talk about it at your company.”

Seeing that people were listening, Xu Lian did not want to continue this topic any longer.

However, Lu Huai did not give up. “I’ve said it before. You’re not allowed to take half a step into the Lu Corporation. Besides, is there anything between us that can’t be said publicly? Back then, when I drank too much, you carried me. It was only for a few seconds. How do you plan to repay this?”

He approached step by step, but Xu Lian was so frightened that she stayed rooted.

Not many people knew what had happened back then, and she knew that Lu Huai would not reveal what had happened in public.

At that time, she only saw that Lu Huai was a little off. At that time, she was so afraid she did not think about anything else.

Later, she realized that Lu Huai had clearly been drugged. novelbuddy.c om

However, it had been a long time since the incident. She heard that Lu Huai had been searching for the person at that time, but that woman had never appeared. That was why she wanted to take the risk and tell him.

She had thought that this matter would never be exposed in this lifetime. She wanted to become Mrs. Lu, so why was he bringing it up?

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” She had no choice but to deny it. “1 did help you back then. Didn’t you admit it?”

“I was delirious at that time. I couldn’t even remember who you were. What do you want me to admit?” Lu Li smiled wickedly. “You want me to admit it in front of everyone that-”

Xu Lian quickly interrupted him. “No, that’s not it!”

There were some things that she knew, but Lu Huai didn’t.

Moreover, it had been so long since the incident. He might not be able to find anything as long as she did not admit it.

“It’s useless even if you don’t admit it.” However, Lu Huai did not believe her act. He lowered his body and looked at Xu Lian coldly. “If you tell me the truth, 1’11 be willing to help the Xu family.”

Xu Lian gulped. “Are you serious?”

She had already started to calculate the pros and cons in her heart. She had seen Pei Xin that day, but she refused to tell Lu Huai who she saw.

Lu Huai was already treating her differently. Why should Pei Xin, the fake daughter of the Pei family, take all the good things?

When she thought about how Pei Xin had embarrassed her just now, Xu Lian could not say anything about what had happened.

“I believe that you are a man of his word, but you don’t want to talk about this here, do you?” Xu Lian said.

Lu Huai nodded and turned to leave.

“Miss Xu, please.” Liu Yan said to Xu Lian with a fake smile.

Xu Lian was brought to a private room in a nearby teahouse. Lu Huai sat opposite her.

Along the way, Xu Lian had already thought of a countermeasure. She said directly, “1 did help you up at that time. I’m sorry. I lied to you.”

She knew that there was no point in lying now. Lu Huai must have already investigated this matter and knows the truth. However, she did not feel guilty. She had never said anything about what had happened between her and Lu Huai back then. She had only hinted at it to make Lu Huai suspicious.

“I did see someone else that day. There was also a girl from a big family. Perhaps the person you’re looking for is her.”

Xu Lian tried her best to keep her voice calm. That day, she had caught a glimpse of Bai Ling from afar, but she did not meet her face-to-face.

However, everyone in the circle knew about Bai Ling’s suicide attempt six years ago, so she decided to take a gamble.

“Continue.” Lu Huai didn’t want to waste his breath on her.

“Will you continue to help the Xu family if 1 tell you?” Xu Lian asked with a trembling voice. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

This was her only bargaining chip now, so she naturally couldn’t say it so easily.

Lu Huai snorted. “Do you think you have the conditions to negotiate?”

His words made Xu Lian break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, she had no conditions to negotiate terms.

“Alright, 1’11 say it. 1 hope you can let the Xu family off with this information.” Xu Lian’s voice was very soft.” I did see the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Bai Ling was there that day. And I heard that around that time, she committed suicide many times. If you’re looking for someone, it should be her.”

The words she used were extremely vague. She wasn’t sure if it was Bai Ling, but she wasn’t entirely lying either.

Thinking of this, she spoke with more confidence.

“CEO Lu, if you don’t believe me, you can go and check it yourself. I’m not lying this time.” Xu Lian’s voice calmed down and she looked at Lu Huai. “You said just now that you would help my family.”

Lu Huai stood up and turned to Liu Yan. “We’ll resume the two projects that we’ve been working on with the Xu family recently.”

As soon as he said that, Xu Lian collapsed on the chair. The two projects were only enough for the Xu family to survive for a while..
