Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Pei Xin dodged in panic and couldn’t help but shout, “Lu Li! Let go of me!”

Their actions attracted the attention of the others in the company.

Lin Sha and Zhang Cheng, the two female employees who had caused trouble for Pei Xin, also walked over.

They immediately stood in front of Pei Xin and defended her.

“What are you doing?” Lin Sha asked Lu Li. “Are you going to hit a woman in broad daylight?”

Zhang Cheng also slapped Lu Li’s hand away, giving Pei Xin the chance to break free.

“T-thank you.” Pei Xin looked at them gratefully.

The two of them had been mocking her before, but now they were helping her after hearing her experience.

This made Pei Xin very touched.

It turned out that her explanation was not unheard of.

However, Lu Li and Pei Yu didn’t want to believe her. They ignored her pain and didn’t listen to her explanation.

They all still think that she is guilty. She would never be able to repay Ling Xue for what she owed her in this lifetime.

What they didn’t know was that Ling Xue had a good life in the Ling family.

Ling Jin used to treat Ling Xue as his biological sister and always gave the money he saved to Ling Xue.

So why did Lu Li keep taking revenge on Ling Jin?

Did Ling Xue say something to Lu Li?

Thinking of this, Pei Xin suddenly realized something.

She gathered her courage and asked Lu Li, “You took revenge on me and took my son away… And I can understand that. That’s because you thought 1 betrayed you and you want to retaliate… But why are you giving my brother a hard time? My brother has never mistreated Ling Xue. He has always treated Ling Xue like a prized treasure. Why are you meddling in his life? He’s such a good person, but because of your revenge, he’s become crippled. No one wants to hire a crippled man. He clearly has a good background and ability, but he’s been suppressed by your power. Lu Li, why did you hurt him?”

The commotion here attracted the attention of the company’s staff.

After hearing Pei Xin’s words, everyone looked at Lu Li differently.

Although Lu Li was the second son of the company, Lu Huai had always been in charge of the company. Everyone didn’t have a good impression of Lu Li and only thought that he was a rich second generation.

Now that they heard Pei Xin’s words, their impression of Lu Li became even more solidified.

“You still have the guts to ask me why?” Lu Li said with a fierce look in his eyes. “Didn’t he tell you what Ling Jin did to Ling Xue all these years? Ling Jin’s kindness to Ling Xue was just an illusion. He’s dirty deep down. He’s always hated Ling Xue. Ling Xue suffered a lot, and Ling Jin always took advantage of her. A beast like Ling Jin deserves to die!”

Pei Xin looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

“Who told you that my brother bullied Ling Xue?” she asked.

“Ling Xue told me herself, of course.” Lu Li replied.

Lu Li closed in on Pei Xin and clenched his fists angrily. “Are you still going to defend Ling Jin at this point? Which girl would lie about her innocence? I’m Ling Xue’s boyfriend. She wouldn’t accuse Ling Jin in front of me.”

Pei Xin was speechless.

She believed that Ling Jin would never do such a thing, but what was the point of Ling Xue lying?

She would rather lose her reputation than frame Ling Jin. Why did Ling Xue hate Ling Jin so much?

Pei Xin couldn’t explain this, but Lu Li saw that she was silent and thought that he had won — Pei Xin must be feeling guilty now.

This made Lu Li even more arrogant.

Lin Sha and Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Li as if he was going to eat them alive and protected Pei Xin even more tightly.

Lu Li looked at them and threatened, “You know who I am, don’t you? I’m the second son of the Lu Corporation. I’m ordering you to go away. Don’t interfere with my conversation with Pei Xin, or I’ll fire you directly.”

Lin Sha and Zhang Cheng immediately became nervous.

“You guys should go back to your work. I can handle it.” Pei Xin quickly said.

Lin Sha and Zhang Cheng worriedly looked at Pei Xin, but they were also afraid of Lu Li’s threat.

They had also put in a lot of effort to be able to work in the Lu Corporation.

Lin Sha and Zhang Cheng looked at Pei Xin guiltily.

“I’m sorry. We really can’t lose this job.”

“It’s okay, I understand. Thank you.”

Then, the two of them left guiltily..
