Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: I’ve Got My Eye on You, Prepare to Die

Zhao Shaotian’s face changed: “…You!”

“I’d really like to learn from Young Master Zhao Shaotian’s eloquent speech, who managed to even bamboozle Lin Dahai, who started up with my father, into wanting to buy a worthless piece of land.”

The person before him was the man behind Lin Dahai, the company’s second-largest shareholder. The land acquisition that Lu Li had halted was a joint scheme they concocted against the Lu Corporation.

That piece of land was just a useless plot with no value whatsoever.

Casting a glance at Zhao Shaotian, whose expression slightly altered, Lu Li scoffed, “I’m not sure if you think your Zhao Corporation can take on the Lu family, or if you believe that with just that piece of worthless land, you could decisively change the outcome, making my Lu family utterly fall so you could take such bold action.”

Frankly, if the Lu Corporation had really acquired that land in ignorance and built upon it, it would indeed rapidly deplete the Lu Corporation’s liquidity. But to say it could shake the foundation of the Lu Corporation was nothing short of a joke.

In his previous life, Lu Ya had resolved this minor issue, albeit with significant loss, but fortunately, it was arrested in time.

Zhao Shaotian’s face went through a series of changes, putting on an indifferent facade: “What is Young Master Lu Li talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Heh, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I’ve made up my mind. Go back and tell your elders that you’ve offended the Lu family, scheming against the Lu family. I really don’t know where you got the courage from.”

Zhao Shaotian was indeed Ye Chen’s man, and Lu Li wouldn’t let him continue breezily as in his previous life, especially considering his own humiliating journey, where this guy had been tirelessly working for Ye Chen.

Lu Li turned back, looking at Chen Xiaoyi, who was glaring at Zhao Shaotian.

“Now you understand what ‘a knife hidden behind a smile’ means in the business world. Remember, verbal skills are useless. Such petty cleverness will only make you a laughingstock.”

What a tailored teaching from a good mentor.

“I’ve remembered,”

Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Li, her clear, milk-white face flushing red.

“Lu Li, you’re so amazing, just a few words and you shut that annoying guy up.” Admiring Lu Li, she thought.

Zhao Shaotian seemed stunned by Lu Li’s unreasonable words, his usual eloquent speech rendered useless, his pale face showing intense shock and anger. How dare this worthless man…

Although the streets had been buzzing about Lu Li’s recent maneuvers, he never believed mud could turn into gold.

It was just the Lu family forcibly elevating their worthless son.

But just now, he had actually been frightened by a worthless man.

Furious with rage.

“What are you doing here, bro!” A sexy girl in a black cut-out dress flaunting her figure, holding a drink, leisurely approached Zhao Shaotian: “Old man Cao is about to come out, have you prepared your gift?”

“What old man, don’t talk nonsense.” Zhao Shaotian nervously glanced around, only relaxing after noticing no one was paying attention to them.

Looking nervously at his sister: “Don’t speak carelessly outside, getting heard by others won’t end well.”

“Tch, look at you, so timid.” Zhao Lu disdainfully rolled her eyes.

“Yes, yes, I’m not as brave as you. With all these people around, can you just behave a bit! My head’s aching!” Zhao Shaotian waved his hand.

“What’s there to be headache about, getting scared by Lu Li, hehe, back then you assured Dad and Mom, insisting that this time you would definitely make the Lu Corporation the big loser in taking that land!” Teasingly looked at Zhao Shaotian, Zhao Lu seemed quite happy to see her brother embarrassed.

“Dammit! I don’t know if Lu Li was truly naive or pretending, but to think he found out about my plan, now saying he wants revenge.” Zhao Shaotian’s face was very ugly, swearing under his breath.

“Hmph, serves you right. The Lu family is at one level, and our Zhao family is at another. You just went and messed with them for no good reason. Even if they lost, it wouldn’t hurt them much. If you were discovered, it’s game over for you, go ahead and worry!” Laughing, Zhao Lu looked at Zhao Shaotian, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

“…” Twitching at the corner of his eyes, Zhao Shaotian was already troubled, and his sister’s words didn’t help.

He just wanted to swindle some money from the Lu Corporation. As for some unrealistic stuff, Zhao Shaotian wasn’t a fool.

Zhao Lu’s gaze shifted towards the distant tall figure. She also wanted to know if Lu Li suddenly changing his ways was genuine.

In a quiet room next to the banquet hall, an elderly man sat in a wheelchair. Despite being in a wheelchair, his complexion was rosy, his spirit vigorous. If not for the white hair and wrinkles on his face, no one would consider him an old man.

Behind him stood a stunning woman in a light-colored dress, her skin creamy and her beauty breathtaking, her white dress adding a shining touch to her beauty.

Elegant as a lotus flower is the best description for her. Her peerless beauty seemed to light up the entire room.

The woman seemed to carry some sorrow, looking restless, occasionally glancing in a certain direction.

“Girl, are you troubled by something?” Old Mr. Cao’s face revealed an intriguing smile suddenly.

“You’ve looked in that direction over thirty times now. Let me guess, there must be someone very important to my Ying’er over there, a little boyfriend?”

The old man’s face wore a teasing smile not fitting his age, the fearsome man in the eyes of many wealthy people appearing like an old child in front of his granddaughter.

“Grandpa, don’t think nonsense, there isn’t!” Cao Yingying’s face turned red, protesting.

Cao Yingying bit her lip.

Not really a boyfriend, right? Until he died, they hadn’t defined their relationship.

Sometimes Cao Yingying really couldn’t understand why he liked such a woman, who was clearly so terrible, yet received such biased love.

“Hahahaha, I’m curious now. Which family’s boy has caught our Ying’er’s attention so much?” Old Mr. Cao laughed heartily: “Point him out to grandpa later. If he doesn’t satisfy me, that boy can’t even dream of picking the most beautiful flower from the Cao family.

“Grandpa!” Cao Yingying called out in reproach.
