Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

Lu Qiyao's face was filled with shock and dissatisfaction.

Has An Ying grown too big for her britches now? She dares to threaten him?

She used to be so understanding and considerate of his feelings...

Are you going to show him absolutely no mercy now?!

Are you going to push your luck and take advantage of him?!

A murmur of discussion could be heard from the surrounding area.

"Who is that? Why are they suddenly shouting so loudly..."

"The young master of the Lu family, the one who became president and joined our elite alumni club just two years ago..."

"I heard they got engaged recently, and their ex and current partner had a huge fight at the event."

"Oh, how come I didn't know? I missed out on some fresh melon..."

"It's normal that we didn't get to eat there. I heard there's a powerful figure behind it who wiped out all the negative news overnight. That's quite a feat..."

....

Lu Qiyao noticed the gazes around him and immediately suppressed his shocked expression.

He now has a social status and is still somewhat self-aware enough not to make a scene in front of so many people.

Although he looked embarrassed, he suppressed his anger, straightened his suit jacket, and sat down.

The minor disturbance did not disrupt the anniversary celebration proceedings.

Holding the microphone, the host said in a clear and articulate voice: "Next, please welcome Fu Chengli, the current president of the Fu Group, a lifetime member of the Beicheng University Elite Alumni Club, and an outstanding alumnus who broke the record for the youngest billionaire on the Beicheng business district's rich list, to the stage to speak."

The hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.

An Ying exclaimed in surprise and joined everyone in clapping, her little hands making a loud "clap clap" sound.

Fu Chengli is really amazing, so many people are supporting him.

Taking advantage of the rising and falling applause, Lu Qiyao looked straight ahead, lowered his voice, and said to An Ying:

"We've been in love for seven years, why do you have to make things so awkward for both of us?"

Lu Qiyao's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

An Ying had no idea that the Lu Group had been facing a series of troubles recently.

The project that An Ying flew to Nancheng to assist with a few months ago has run into problems. If An Ying can't get the documents back, if those projects worth hundreds of millions don't go smoothly...

Membership in the Lu Qiyao Elite Alumni Club is in jeopardy, and members are in danger of being expelled.

Lu Qiyao raised his hand and touched the shiny badge on his chest.

It may look like an inconspicuous little badge, but it is actually an important tool for interpersonal communication in high society.

An Ying, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. After clapping her hands, she picked up the free drink distributed at the venue, gently biting the straw with her red lips, and smiled.

"Lu Qiyao, who embarrassed whom first? Isn't everything you're suffering now entirely your own fault?"

Lu Qiyao was taken aback.

An Ying continued, "It's precisely because I was once kind, because I once loved you so much, that you trampled my kindness and love under your feet and didn't cherish them at all."

Do you still remember that old locust tree on campus? You confessed your love to me, swore you would treat me well for the rest of your life, marry me, and that I would be your only wife. Have you kept your promise?

Lu Qiyao remained silent.

An Ying's voice was indifferent: "Therefore, I have decided to withdraw all my goodwill. From now on, we'll keep things separate."

"On the day of our engagement party, you caused me to get injured and be hospitalized. Your mother abused her power and fired me without cause. Your betrayal with An Xiaoxiao hurt me. Do you think I would forget all the grievances I've suffered for you over the past seven years? Do you think I'm a magnanimous saint who will just wave goodbye and wish you happiness, and then pretend that nothing happened?"

"No, I won't. I won't be a pitiful victim, begging for your sympathy. I'll settle the score with you."

An Ying's face turned extremely cold.

"Ten million, you keep your CEO position with a bright future, and I'll take the money and live a carefree and happy life as a rich woman. It's a win-win situation, so how can it not be worthwhile?"

Lu Qiyao didn't speak, but his slightly trembling, clenched fists said it all.

An Ying smiled slyly and looked at Fu Chengli in the center of the stage.

Unlike his attire at Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet, he was dressed more formally today, with a matching tie and shirt. His sculpted, handsome features and deep black eyes allowed him to stride confidently onto the slightly elevated stage.

The brilliant light from the spotlights overhead shone on the center of the stage, as if gilding him with a layer of gold. He appeared calm and capable, with a charming smile playing on his lips, revealing a touch of casualness and unruliness.

Fu Chengli's eyes seemed to be equipped with satellite positioning.

In the vast crowd, I spotted An Ying in the audience at a glance.

And Lu Qiyao beside her.

Why are these two sitting together again?

He frowned unhappily.
