He gave a look to Peng Shiyi standing behind him. Peng Shiyi inexplicably felt humiliated. She turned around and wanted to run away, but was yanked back by Peng Zixu.
They were already in front of them. Could this young lady stop causing trouble!
Peng Zixu gave Peng Shiyi a push, and she staggered up to Yan Xia and Lu Qianzhou.
"Mr. Lu, I was wrong... I won't deliberately play tricks on Miss Lu or deliberately make things difficult for her in the future."
Lu Qianzhou calmly turned a page of the magazine, the corners of his lips curving up. "You've bullied my younger sister again and again. Is it because Miss Peng looks down on the Lu family and thinks that the people of the Lu family can be easily manipulated?"
Peng Shiyi stammered, "Mr. Lu, I've already apologized, and I've re - shipped that batch of goods. Can you... withdraw the lawyer's letter?"
In the end, she came to apologize only because of her father's coercion and her fear of that lawyer's letter.
"Miss Peng doesn't seem to understand the situation clearly. You've offended not me, but Lu Sheng." Lu Qianzhou calmly glanced at Yan Xia. "She is my uncle's daughter and my younger sister. If anyone dares to bully her, they have to ask me first."
These words were full of protection for Lu Sheng.
"Yes, yes, yes." Peng Zixu quietly pinched Peng Shiyi's arm. "Shiyi, quickly apologize to Miss Lu."
Yan Xia and Lu Qianzhou seemed not to pay attention to them from the beginning. They were each busy with their own things.
Peng Shiyi gritted her teeth and stared at Yan Xia. She was extremely unwilling to apologize to this scheming bitch. But her father had given a strict order that if she didn't handle this matter well, her credit card would be stopped.
Peng Chao was being so strict with her for the first time. Peng Shiyi should have known how serious the situation was.
"Miss Lu, I'm really sorry. I just wanted to play a trick on you. You said those words to provoke me. You're so generous. You won't hold a grudge against me, right? Can you withdraw the lawyer's letter? You've just started working at Shengshi. You surely don't want the project you're in charge of to be overdue."
Yan Xia finished peeling the apple and handed it to the maid. The maid took the apple away to cut it into small pieces.
Yan Xia scoffed. "Is Miss Peng threatening me by saying this?"
Peng Shiyi couldn't stand her face being damaged. She retorted stubbornly, "I've already apologized to you and re - shipped the goods. If necessary, I'll compensate you ten times the price. Just withdraw the lawyer's letter, okay?"
Peng Zixu was almost dying of anger beside them. He wanted to say something but didn't know how, so he could only fret.
Yan Xia was lazily nestled on the sofa. She wore a thin knitted cardigan over her spaghetti - strap dress. Her skin was fair, and her delicate collarbone was faintly visible.
She stared at Peng Shiyi. "To be honest, I really don't care about this little bit of money. But... if it gets out that the goods from Huihua Wood Industry have problems, it won't be as simple as an apology. What will Miss Peng do then?"
It was obvious that she was not willing to mediate. Peng Shiyi bit her lower lip and looked at Peng Zixu helplessly.
Peng Zixu also stepped forward. "Miss Lu, don't be angry. My younger sister has been spoiled. In fact, she's not a bad person at heart. For the sake of Mr. Fang Jiangyi, please forgive her this time. Don't worry. We'll discipline her strictly in the future and make sure she won't offend you again."
Yan Xia just wanted to teach Peng Shiyi a lesson. That would be enough. She glanced at Lu Qianzhou's expression. He really didn't intend to interfere and left it all up to her.
After a moment of weighing, Yan Xia sat up straight and gathered her coat.
"Then I'll give Mr. Fang a face today. But Miss Peng, remember, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. I don't want to make things difficult for you, and I hope you can also abide by the rules and keep your distance."
"Definitely, Miss Lu. Don't worry." Peng Zixu quickly responded.
No one said a word in the living room for a while. Finally, Peng Zixu tentatively asked,
"Then Miss Lu, about the lawyer's letter..."
Yan Xia said, "I'll withdraw it. You can leave."
Peng Zixu quickly nodded and thanked her, then led Peng Shiyi away.
After they left, Yan Xia frowned.
Peng Shiyi would definitely not let it go. She would only restrain herself for a while. People with her personality would double the revenge if they were humiliated anywhere.
Lu Qianzhou closed the magazine and glanced at the sliced apples on the table. He commented,
"Indecisive. Not ruthless enough."
Yan Xia shook her head. "Everything should be done in moderation. Moreover, I can be so confident only because of your influence, Mr. Lu. Naturally, it's not good for me to make enemies for you."
Lu Qianzhou didn't have the mood to continue the conversation.
"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."
His back soon disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Yan Xia stared blankly at the fruit plate on the table.
Lu Qianzhou was extremely deceptive. He was clearly ambitious, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He seemed to care about nothing, like a gentle breeze.
Yan Xia's lesson to Peng Shiyi had an excellent effect. She wasn't harassed by her for several days after that.
When she met Fang Jiangyi at the company, he never mentioned anything related to Peng Shiyi, as if he didn't care at all.
During the lunch break one day, a strange friend request popped up on WeChat. The note only had five words, "I'm Shangguan Yao."
Shangguan Yao...
Yan Xia thought for a while and finally remembered this person. Last time, Lu Qianzhou had reminded her not to provoke people she shouldn't. So who was this Shangguan Yao and where did he get her WeChat number to add her as a friend?
She didn't have a good impression of this person. Maybe it was because he looked so flippant both times they met. She didn't need to provoke this kind of playboy.
If she didn't accept the friend request, more and more requests from Shangguan Yao would pop up. Yan Xia felt annoyed, so she casually accepted the request. After that, it got even worse. Shangguan Yao's messages popped up at a speed of one every few seconds.
"So Miss Lu still remembers me. I finally added you."
Yan Xia replied, "Where did you get my number? What do you want from me?"
"Nothing. I'm just really curious about Miss Lu. Why, do you suspect I'm a bad person?"
Sure enough, he still had that annoying tone when he spoke.
Since he spoke like that, Yan Xia didn't reply to him. Sure enough, he sent another message a few minutes later.
"Okay, to be honest, I fell in love with you at first sight. I'm going to pursue you!"
Yan Xia: "Now, you can go away nicely."
Shangguan Yao: "What does that mean?"
"Get lost."
After replying with the last word, Yan Xia decisively deleted him, blocked him, and threw her phone aside.
Sure enough, there was a reason for Lu Qianzhou to tell her to avoid Shangguan Yao.
There were still more than three hours before getting off work. Manager Yang suddenly came to the office with a very serious expression.
"Supervisor Lu, come with me. Something's wrong."
She followed him to the meeting room. There were several high - level executives in the meeting room. Fang Jiangyi and Manager Yang were also there. Seeing them sitting upright, Yan Xia was even more confused.
"May I ask what you want from me?"
