Fu Siye did not answer her. Instead, he leaned over toward her neck to take a whiff.

His nose was filled with the familiar scent of orchids. It was not tainted with the scent of other men.

??

Fu Siye relaxed and twirled a strand of her hair with his fingers. He asked, “Why are you suddenly making things difficult for Lu Yichen?”

Mu Hui replied, “Because I’ve seen through his true nature. He only knows how to use me and hurt me, so I want revenge.”

Mu Hui was unwilling to be outdone. She also tugged at his tie and twirled it around. There was a hint of seriousness in her tone as she said, “So, you and I currently have the same enemy. We’re on the same side. Trust me, huh?”

Fu Siye’s stared at her with his long and narrow eyes for a long time. It was as if he wanted to see through her.

Finally, he chuckled and replied, “Okay, I agree.”

Mu Hui felt that Fu Siye’s pressure on her had finally disappeared. She then took a deep breath.

“So, we’re in an alliance?”

“It depends on your performance.”

Fu Siye’s tall figure stood up and left, leaving Mu Hui alone in the living room. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the time, took out her phone, and watched the financial news live broadcast.

Sure enough, the headline for the day was the collaboration between Lu Yichen and the Hong Corporation. The two companies had planned to enter the new energy industry together. As the industry was favored by people, it attracted a lot of attention.

At that time, Lu Yichen was holding a press conference to announce the signing ceremony of the two companies’ collaboration.

He stood on the rostrum and was feeling pleased with himself. He spoke with confidence and answered all of the reporters’ questions.

However, Hong Song still did not appear even when the time for the signing of the contract had passed.

The smile on Lu Yichen’s face could no longer be maintained. He looked at the reporters who were whispering in the audience. His face was as black as ink, and he directly left the stage.

Very soon, Lu Yichen’s signing was canceled by the Hong family. The marriage of the new energy century was aborted, and together with the photos of Lu Yichen leaving the stage in a huff, it rushed to the headlines of all the major financial companies. The entertainment headlines were also very hot.

Mu Hui leisurely hid on the sofa and watched the news with satisfaction.

Her little trick was indeed wonderful.

Lu Yichen, who had become the laughingstock of the entire city, was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He led his people to the Imperial Hotel in a huff and rushed straight to Hong Song’s room.

The hotel staff knocked on the door for a long time but did not hear Hong Song’s voice. They were also panicking and hurriedly took out their room cards to open the door. They were stunned when they saw him.

Hong Song was tied up on the ground. His mouth was still stuffed with a sheet, and he was crying.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone quickly untied Hong Song. Once he was free, he was like an enraged bull. He pounced straight at Lu Yichen.

“Lu, you mother f*cking bully!”

Lu Yichen was caught off guard and received a punch from Hong Song. He received a few more kicks and dodged in a sorry state.

“What the hell is going on? Why didn’t you attend the signing ceremony? Do you know how much of a disgrace it was?”

“Sign, sign your mother. Didn’t you find a woman to come over and say that you want to raise the price by 50%?”

She even beat him up!

When he thought about what happened last night, Hong Song went crazy. He wanted to tear Lu Yichen apart.

“What’s going on? What woman?”

Lu Yichen calmed down amidst the chaos.

Hong Song was finally pulled down by the crowd. After a while, they finally calmed him down and rushed to the security room to check the surveillance cameras.

When he saw the video from the night before, Lu Yichen was stunned. His expression was very ugly.

“Mu Hui?”

Hong Song shouted, “It was her! It was this woman who plotted against me. You know her too. How dare you say that you didn’t call her here?”

Lu Yichen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He forced himself to calm down and quickly went to comfort Hong Song.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Hong. Please listen to my explanation. I didn’t call this woman here. She wants to harm me! We can talk about the cooperation later…”

“You can go talk to your mother instead.”

Hong Song pushed him away and left in an aggressive manner.

Lu Yichen’s face was as gloomy as a piece of rag. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

“Mu Hui…”

At that moment, a piece of news was rolling on the television in the hotel room.

“The Fu Group’s self-organized research team has made a breakthrough in the development of new energy, attracting the attention of the industry. After the failed negotiation between the second young master of the Hong Group and the Lu Group, the CEO of the Hong Group personally went to the Fu Group to seek cooperation, and an agreement has been reached…”

Lu Yichen punched the table angrily!
