She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Fang Li sat in the car as the alarm began to sound incessantly, each blare precisely striking her extremely tense nerves that were on the verge of snapping.

"Jiangbei..."

After a few seconds, she turned to look at Jiang Bei in the driver's seat.

The red Ferrari was pressed directly against the driver's side door, and Jiang Bei seemed to be stuck in the seat, staring coldly at the person inside the red sports car.

Fang Li looked over as well, and through the dim car window, she met a pair of gloomy yet provocative eyes.

"It's him!"

Jiang Bei turned around: "Does Madam know this person?"

Fang Li pursed her lips, watching the door of the red sports car open and a man dressed casually get out of the car. She immediately had a bad feeling.

The BMW was stuck on the side of the road, completely damaged, and clearly no longer drivable.

Jiang Bei stared sharply at the man walking towards them, and when he saw him walk straight to the back seat and open the car door, his expression changed instantly.

"what you do?!"

Fang Li clutched her shoulder and turned to look at the door with a look of surprise.

"Long time no see, Miss Xu."

Standing over 1.85 meters tall, he's a clothes hanger who looks incredibly handsome and striking even in the simplest black casual pants and white T-shirt, not to mention his unforgettable face.

As expected of Lu Jie.

Lu Jie was also surprised. He had been trying to get her to come out on the street for the past two days, but he hadn't been able to. He just wanted to catch up with her and say hello, but he didn't expect that Han Xi's lackey would have such a bad temper.

He glanced coldly at Jiang Bei, then his gaze returned to Fang Li, staring intently at her.

After several seconds, Fang Li finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Jie chuckled: "I thought Miss Xu was pretending not to know me because she wasn't saying anything."

Fang Li twitched the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile: "Sorry, the way we met was a bit unusual, I didn't recognize you just now."

Lu Jie smiled and chuckled, "Looks like he was scared."

Fang Li moved her lips but didn't speak; her cold gaze was obvious.

Lu Jie took a deep breath, leaned over and stuck his head into the car to take a look, and clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that the Han family is about to go bankrupt. They have the nerve to let Miss Xu ride in such a lousy car."

Jiang Bei, who had struggled for a long time without being able to unbuckle his seatbelt, turned around and gritted his teeth, saying, "What does this have to do with Young Master Lu!"

"Of course, Miss Xu's matter is related to me." He smiled and said, "Go back and tell Han Xi that women should be treated like royalty. If he can't take care of her, I don't mind helping him."

After saying that, he leaned down and reached out to help Fang Li unbuckle her seatbelt.

Before either of them could react, he forcefully grabbed Fang Li's wrist and pulled her out of the car.

Fang Li had just experienced a terrifying and crazy ordeal, and her legs were still weak. When he pulled her, she almost knelt on the ground.

Lu Jie reacted quickly, reaching out to lift her up by the waist.

"What are you going to do? Let me go!"

"Lu Jie! Let her go!"

However, no matter how much the two shouted or struggled, Lu Jie ignored them and pulled Fang Li away to the other side.

Jiang Bei was extremely anxious. He tugged at the seatbelt several times, but it still wouldn't budge. Frustrated, he started pounding the steering wheel!

Across the street, a blue Bugatti appeared out of nowhere. Jiang Bei sat in the car and watched as Lu Jie opened the door, shoved Fang Li inside, and then squeezed into the car himself.

The blue car started, accelerated, and quickly drove away in the opposite direction. Jiang Bei was angry, but his eyes also showed a hint of panic.

He then remembered something and quickly took out his phone from the passenger seat to call his boss.

...Mulin Residence.

Fang Li ignored Lu Jie's invitation over the phone last time, but this time she couldn't avoid it and was stopped on the street and brought here.

Mulinju is located on the hillside in the west of the city, hidden behind a lush bamboo forest landscape. Although there is a sign for private kitchens at the entrance, once you go inside, you will find that it is more like a private club with everything you need.

Whether it was because it was still early or Lu Jie had made prior arrangements, Fang Li was led inside by him, encountering only a few waiters along the way.

The two went all the way to the innermost part, and after leaving the hall, they passed through a bamboo forest, behind which was a vermilion gate with a door number 1111 on it.

Lu Jie pushed forward and stepped inside.

Fang Li followed him.

The large private room had a karaoke area on the left and what appeared to be two rooms on the right, with a large round table in the middle, which was now full of people.

There were both men and women, and they all seemed to have some kind of connection.

Fang Li quickly scanned the area and soon spotted a somewhat familiar face at the very edge – it was Duan Xin.

She frowned slightly, not only because the environment made her uncomfortable, but also because of Duan Xin... She was dressed simply, rarely like this, in jeans and a T-shirt. Her face was plain and gaunt, and without the help of those superb makeup skills, she looked as if she had aged ten years.

Perhaps due to years of wearing makeup, her skin is in very bad condition, with spots and pits, showing no trace of the glamorous and domineering beauty she had a few days ago.

As Lu Jie pulled her in, everyone at the table had different expressions and would occasionally glance at her.

Fang Li never expected that in the short time it took to go out to sign a contract, she would not only fail to sign the contract, but also run into Lu Jie, this great devil.

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?"

Fang Li stood still, so Lu Jie had no choice but to let go.

He turned to look at her with his hands in his pockets. "I asked you out a couple of days ago, but you didn't come. I had no choice but to confront you myself."

Fang Li frowned slightly: "I had something to do the other day."

After speaking, she paused and then said, "Mr. Lu and I have only met once, and we are not even friends. Don't you think it's a bit strange that you invited me and I came?"

Lu Jie smiled and asked instead of answering, "Mr. Lu, do you always address Han Xi as 'Mr. Han'?"

"..." Fang Li frowned, "What does this have to do with Mr. Lu?"

"Do you have to talk to me like that?"

Lu Jie suddenly lifted his foot and took a step closer to her: "I heard that Han Xi arranged for you to stay in Guanlanting. How could you possibly live in such a cramped and shabby place?"

"Why don't you move out and come live with me? I can buy any place in the capital you like, and you can live wherever you want. What do you say?"

Fang Li remained silent, then slowly raised her eyes to look at him: "I like the Forbidden City, do you want to buy it?"

Lu Jie: "......"

Someone behind him let out a low laugh, and then his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly lit up with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to joke around."

He said, "It's a pity that this is now the new China. If it were a few hundred years earlier, I might have really won the world because of what you said."

Fang Li coldly curled her lips, but remained silent.

This man was not only narcissistic but also arrogant. Hundreds of years ago, he was just a spoiled rich kid in the capital who even tried to seize the throne.

While she remained silent, Lu Jie suddenly leaned closer and asked, "So, are you moved?"
