Chapter 11: The Frustrated Protagonist, Poisonous Thoughts

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Chen, I’m the manager of the overseas Dragon Flight Group.” Revealing just the right amount of a smile, Ye Chen announced his identity with confidence.

Zhang Ziqin’s indifference didn’t bother him; it was just a previous setback, after all.

“So what!” Zhang Ziqin looked coldly at Ye Chen in front of her.

Temporarily setting aside the emotions in her heart, if it wasn’t for the timing, she would want to kill this man who had killed Lu Li right now.

Hearing that this guy was some big shot, so what? She had killed him in her past life, and she could do it again in this life.

“I don’t remember inviting you. How did you get into the Zhang family estate?”

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, this wasn’t the reaction he was expecting! Why would Zhang Ziqin act like this: “……”

“I just felt that Miss Zhang Ziqin was being treated unfairly, so I thought, does Miss Zhang have any interest in collaborating with Dragon Flight Group? Firstly, it can prove your capabilities to the public, and secondly, it can also let that wastrel, Lu Li, know that even without him, you are still the best.”

“Someone like Lu Li, a mere wastrel, truly doesn’t deserve you.”

Though somewhat unexpected, everything was still under control.

What do people whose abilities are questioned need most? Naturally, it’s proof of themselves. Ye Chen also wouldn’t allow the woman he’s set his sights on to be involved with other men.

This round of instigation was quite good.

“…” Zhang Ziqin’s face remained expressionless, her eyelids lowered, her eyes filled with intense killing intent as she casually picked up a glass of red wine next to her.

To empathize with her, to toast with me?

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, just as he was also thinking of grabbing a glass of wine.

Suddenly, Zhang Ziqin applied force, and the crimson liquid splashed onto Ye Chen’s handsome face.

The act was so sudden, Ye Chen was thinking about where to get a glass of wine, he was caught off guard and didn’t dodge.

For a moment, he was stunned.

“What are you, even speaking about Lu Li?” Hearing insults about Lu Li from this bastard, Zhang Ziqin couldn’t stand it.

“Someone, where’s security? How did you let such a rat in, not throwing him out yet?”

Intense killing intent flashed in her eyes, Ye Chen’s power was still intact for now, killing him would lead to many unsolvable problems, she just wanted to kill Ye Chen now.

Just wait! Once I clean up your forces, your time of death will come.

Her gaze full of murderous intent glanced at Ye Chen once more before Zhang Ziqin turned and left.

Soon, several security personnel came over and, under Ye Chen’s astonished gaze, directly escorted him out.

Coming back to his senses and looking at the brightly lit Zhang family estate, a visible gloom covered his face.

A rat.

Zhang Ziqin actually dared to call him a rat.

After struggling abroad for so many years, his status was no longer ordinary, yet Zhang Ziqin dared to call him a rat, saying he’s not worthy to speak of Lu Li.

What a joke, just a wastrel.

A waste.

Comparing himself with Lu Li was an insult to Ye Chen, but now he was belittled by Zhang Ziqin like this.

“Zhang Ziqin, I will make sure you kneel before me, begging for my forgiveness. I will also let you watch how Lu Li dies at my hands.” His complexion was as dark as water, Zhang Ziqin was his predetermined collaborator, he wouldn’t allow his plan to falter.

Moreover, Ye Chen didn’t think Zhang Ziqin truly fell for Lu Li, it was probably just because her lapdog didn’t come and she got mocked by Liu Menghan, nothing more.

But even so, insulting him was Zhang Ziqin’s biggest mistake.

Zhang Ziqin had no intention of paying any mind to Ye Chen’s thoughts, her phone calls wouldn’t go through, making her more eager to know Lu Li’s current situation.

He was supposed to attend tonight’s banquet.

But he didn’t come.

No answer to her calls, what exactly happened, could it be that Lu Li no longer loves her?

This thought brought an indescribable pain to Zhang Ziqin’s heart.

No, impossible, nothing has happened yet, Lu Li hasn’t become disappointed in her yet, besides, in her previous life, until the end, Lu Li was still thinking of her.

How could Lu Li not love her?

But thinking of Liu Menghan’s previous words, Zhang Ziqin couldn’t help feeling panicked, hastily ending tonight’s banquet and heading towards the Lu family estate.

But the security strictly controlled the gate, not allowing anyone in.

“I am Zhang Ziqin, I need to see your young master right now, go notify him immediately.” Zhang Ziqin became even more frantic, ordering the security personnel.

“Sorry, Miss Zhang, per our young master’s instructions, no one is allowed to disturb him tonight.”

The security’s words made Zhang Ziqin even more panicked, what exactly happened?

In the end, she could only leave helplessly.

The next day, when Lu Li sat at the conference table, in the seat that once belonged to Lu Ya, all the executives recruited by Lu Ya showed a hint of shock, exchanging glances.

“Cough cough, Young Master Lu Li, may I ask where General Manager Lu is?” Of course, he wasn’t referring to Lu Li, but Lu Ya.

“Right in front of you.” Lu Li glanced at the executive who spoke, who seemed to be some kind of deputy general manager, in any case, one of Lu Ya’s people.

“What!”

“How is that possible.”

Various uncertain voices filled the office, the executives all looking at Lu Li unfavorably.

Eventually, the deputy general manager who first spoke stood up: “Young Master Lu Li, perhaps you should explain.”

“Explain, yesterday there was another one like you asking for an explanation, named Jiang Ting, Lu Ya’s assistant. Now, she’s already gone due to a fire at home and a car accident on the way back, are you sure you want an explanation?” No wonder Lu Ya almost turned Lu Corporation into her private company.

Really treating himself as an outsider, huh!

An adopted daughter, so openly climbing over the head of Lu Li, her own son.

“…”

“…”

Glancing around, Lu Li’s mouth curled into a cold smile: “I, Lu Li, the blood heir of the Lu family, not a bastard like Lu Ya, it’s only right for me to inherit Lu Corporation, do any of you have a problem with that?”
