Chu Lui strode away while Yvette simply held her own hand, the one he had gripped hard earlier on. She could still feel the pain in her hand. That man was too scary and too cold-blooded. Regardless, she could not help but become attracted to his characteristics.
"Chu Lui, you may not know about this, but sometimes, there is love in hatred. One day, when you find yourself struggling between your pain and hurting her, it would mean you've fallen for her."
She looked at Chu Lui's silhouette and mumbled something to herself. Her voice might have drifted far, but no one could hear her words. She gathered her long hair tidily, and made her way towards the event venue. Yes, she is a smart woman. Hence why she knew that her relationship with a man like Chu Lui—who stood at the top of the world—would always remain as friends with benefits.
It was impossible for her to wait for him to come back. The man hardly takes the initiative to return to the same woman.
Otherwise, he would not be Chu Lui.
Chu Lui also made his way to the event venue and unconsciously began to search for the woman he had abandoned. His eyes swiped the place like a radar detecting landmines. But there was no sign of the woman.
He walked closer, his eyes growing darker.
Where had that woman gone?
He took no more than a few steps when he heard the conversation of a group of people who had coincidentally mentioned his name.
"Aren't you worried that she will tell Chu Lui what had happened? No matter what, you were taking liberties with Chu Lui's wife," said a man. He then started laughing. He was teasing the other man standing beside him. It might have been mockery or intentional teasing.
"There's nothing to worry about. The whole world has seen her pair of legs. With the dress she's wearing, it was obvious that she was here to seduce men."
"But you were rejected," another man gloated.
"You had the same intention, right? To see how Chu Lui's woman will feel like. We're all resentful towards the way he poached our businesses away from us. What gave him the right to do that? With his woman, it would disgrace him. Isn't it fun?"
The smile on one of the man widened. It was like a slap on Chu Lui's face.
"Is that right? Do you seriously think like this? If I don't poach all those businesses, I would be letting your expectations down." A chilly voice came from amongst them. Then the expression on Chu Lui's face turned ruthless in a matter of seconds. "You wanted to sleep with my wife. Let me see. Maybe I should arrange for someone to do the same to your wives."
His threats had always been vicious. The faces of the men abruptly turned pale. They did not think he was joking or merely scaring them. Chu Lui always means what he says. This was common knowledge among everyone.
"Where did my wife go?" His voice had regained its calmness. However, the pressure of his presence remained. It was enough to cause a person to have difficulty breathing and making them shudder.
One of the men pointed him in a direction where he had come from.
Chu Lui suddenly pursed his lips tight and strode away. He took out his cellphone and issued a series of commands.
He was the only person allowed to hate her. Only him alone could humiliate her. Death is the only solution for anyone who had other ideas for her.
At that moment, he had obviously forgotten that it may be his initial intention. But when things started happening, he did not realize that he would lose control.
