astonishment. She looked at her, utterly unprepared for the direct attack.Qi Ya took the necklace, spread it out in her palm and looked at it carefully. Finally, a flash of fierceness appeared in her...Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

She explained, “I mean, what a coincidence, he also wanted to buy this piece of land.”

"That's right." Wangzong patted his thigh. "For that piece of land, Tang Zong even came to me personally."

"So, what do you think What are your thoughts" Lu Hanchuan asked coldly.

"Wang, with a twinkle in his eye, chuckled and said, "Lu, let me be frank with you. We're all businessmen here, and business is about profit. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have naturally sold the land to Mr. Tang. But now that you've brought it up, how about we hold an auction"

"Do you want me to compete with Tang Yi" Lu Hanchuan's handsome face darkened.

General Wang chuckled and rubbed his hands together, "This seems fair, doesn't it Now then, General Lu..."

"I'll consider it." Lu Hanchuan stood up.

Fu Xiaoyao also quickly got up to follow him.

"Mr. Wang nodded, "Since Mr. Lu said he's considering it, we welcome Mr. Lu to contact us anytime once a decision is made."

Lü Hánchuan let out a cold snort, neither answering nor refusing. After putting down the wine glass in his hand, he left with Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao walked while nervously glancing at the man beside her, "Hanchuan, Mr. Wang obviously wants to raise the price by pitting you and Tang Yi against each other. Maybe you should just give up on that piece of land."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, "I had Qiao Mu look at that plot of land. There's nothing wrong with it, it's a good location."

"So you still want to buy it" Fu Xiaoyao understood his meaning.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, "Let's watch again, I'll go to the restroom."

"Alright, you go ahead." Fu Xiaoyao pulled her hand back from his arm.

Lu Hanchuan turned and walked towards the bathroom. Fu Xiaoyao touched her stomach, feeling a bit hungry, and prepared to go to the food area to eat something and rest for a while.

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Is that Miss Fu"

Fu Xiaoyao turned her head and, upon seeing the person, opened her mouth in surprise. "You are...Mr. Shi"

After confirming her identity, Shi Mo put on a gentlemanly smile and walked towards her, "It's me. Miss Fu, do you remember me It's an honor."

"No." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand. "It's my honor that Mr. Shi remembers me. By the way, Mr. Shi, how long have you been here I didn't see you just now."

"I'm just getting here, there was some traffic on the way, so I'm a little late." Shi Mo explained.

Fu Xiaoyao suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see."

"Miss Fu, are you alone" Shi Mo asked.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "My husband went to the restroom, he should be back soon..."

"Who are you" she hadn't finished her words when Lu Hanchuan's voice came from the side, laced with a hint of coldness.

But Fu Xiaoyao didn't hear it. She looked at Lu Hanchuan with surprise, "Hanchuan, you're back."

Lu Hanchuan ignored her, walked to her side and stopped, narrowing his cold eyes to look at Shi Mo, "Who are you"

He asked again.

He had just returned from the restroom and saw Fu Xiaoyao chatting excitedly with this man.

He had no idea that she had gotten to know another man behind his back.

"Hanchuan, he is..." Fu Xiaoyao was about to introduce Mo's identity to Lu Hanchuan when Lu Hanchuan suddenly interrupted her with a black face, "Shut up."

Fu Xiaoyao heard the anger in his voice, her small mouth opened and closed, she was speechless for a moment.

When Shi Mo saw Lu Hanchuan treating her like this, her brows furrowed involuntarily. The gentleness on her face gradually faded, replaced by a disapproval, "You are Mr. Lu, aren't you Treating your own wife like this is very inappropriate."

"I don't need you to remind me." Lu Hanchuan said coldly.

When Shi Mo heard this, he shrugged. "Well, I don't have the right to remind you, but I still hope that President Lu, you don't treat Miss Fu like this. She is your wife, and you should be more gentle with her. Like what you just did, it will hurt her very much."

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head with a dimmed expression.

Just as Shi Mo said, she had originally wanted to excitedly introduce Shi Mo to Lu Hanchuan. However, before she could even finish her sentence, he told her to be quiet, and his attitude was extremely cold.

This left a bad taste in her mouth.

Fu Xiaoyao's low spirits naturally caught Lu Hanchuan's eye. He pursed his thin lips tightly, "Go back to the rest room first."

Fu Xiaoyao lifted her head again, looked at him, then at Shi Mo.

Shi Mo nodded slightly at her, and she then left with peace of mind.

"She actually listens to you quite well." Lu Hánchuan suddenly scoffed.

A playful glint appeared in Shi Mo's amber eyes, "It seems Lu總 is feeling jealous. Hehe, you misunderstood. There's nothing between me and Madam Ling, we just happened to meet once before, so we chatted a while ago. Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Shi Mo, and I come from the overseas Shi family."

As he spoke, he extended his hand toward Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan looked at his hand, his expression changing slightly, "Overseas Shi family You are the current heir of the Shi family"

"Yes." Shi Mo nodded. "The biggest reason I joined your alliance meeting this time is that our Shi family wants to open up the domestic market. Mr. Lu, could you spare some time for a detailed discussion"

"I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about." Lu Hanchuan coldly refused.

Shi Mo smiled, "What about the business cooperation between the Shi and Lu families I heard that President Lu is interested in developing the overseas market, and our Shi family is interested in developing the domestic market, so can we talk now"

This undoubtedly made Lu Hanchuan somewhat moved. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before making an inviting gesture to Shi Mo, "Alright, let's talk here."

"Mr. Lu leads the way."

The two walked out to the balcony, beginning a series of business talks.

After an hour of discussion, the two parties had reached a preliminary oral cooperation agreement and were just waiting for the written contract to be finalized.

"General Lu, this glass of wine I toast to you, wishing us a pleasant cooperation." Shi Mo raised a cup towards Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hánchuan didn't refute him, slightly raised his cup as a response, then suddenly asked, "President Shi, I remember you said before that you had met my wife by chance, right"

He shifted the topic back again, Shi Mo couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Yes, that time..."

Shi Mo told everything about how he met Fu Xiaoyao.

After hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's slight unease completely disappeared.

"She's such a pushover," he scoffed.

Shi Mo chuckled upon hearing this, "President Lu, Miss Fu is just kind. And your attitude towards her just now was truly inappropriate. Even if you're jealous, you should apologize to her."

"You don't have to tell me that." Lu Hanchuan glanced at him, placed his wine glass on the table by the balcony, and walked towards the lounge.

In the break room, Fu Xiaoyao paced back and forth restlessly. She kept checking her phone for the time or glancing at the door.

It's been an hour already, Lu Hanchuan hasn't come over yet. I don't know if he had a fight with Shi Mo.

Given his temper, it's not impossible.

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hand and decided to go out for a look.

However, just as her hand was about to reach the doorknob, she felt it turn by itself.

Next, a push came, and she realized what was happening. She hurriedly loosened her grip and stepped aside.

The door opened, and Lu Hanchuan walked in from outside. He saw Fu Xiaoyao standing at the doorway at a glance and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you going out"ars isn't much.""That's good." Fu Xiaoyao's tense body relaxed.Lu Hanchuan could clearly feel her shoulders slump down. "So, are you willing to forgive me now"Fu Xiaoyao turned her back. "I said that...
