Anna was about to retort, but met the man's intimidating gaze.
His eyes were cold as a thin blade, and his words were even sharper and more chilling: "And don't think changing your perfume will make you like her. The two of you are worlds apart."
This sentence inflicted more damage than all the humiliating words he had spoken before!
Anna's face immediately turned unsightly, her fingertips losing their color from clenching her fists.
Lou Yuming didn't linger any longer. He strode away, his tall figure appearing cold and merciless.
...
That afternoon, Mr. Su, who was ready to sign the contract, suddenly received news that Lou Yuming had canceled the signing.
The wine glass smashed onto the floor from his hand, red wine soaking the expensive carpet.
Mr. Su couldn't believe it. His aged face contorted in shock.
He immediately contacted Lou Yuming, but his calls wouldn't go through.
Logically, as an elder who had helped the young couple so much, even if they weren't grateful, they shouldn't have repaid kindness with resentment!
Was this Lou Yuming's character! He had no respect for him as an elder!
Mr. Su, being hot-tempered, immediately rushed to Zhang's Group in a huff.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, but Mr. Lou is in an urgent meeting and cannot meet with you."
Mr. Su, an old fox who had been in the business world for many years, could see that this was deliberate.
He gritted his teeth and, with a dark expression, called Anna.
Anna also hadn't expected Lou Yuming to do this. Even if he knew that Uncle Su had a hand in this scheme, he was a businessman. He must have understood the benefits of cooperating with Su Group better than anyone else.
This impulsive behavior, like a child's, didn't fit his calm demeanor.
"Uncle Su, don't worry. I'll go ask Yu Ming. There must be a misunderstanding."
Mr. Su huffed and puffed. He never imagined that by helping, he would lose the cooperation.
His intention in deliberately keeping Lou Yuming waiting earlier was simply to establish his authority in this cooperation, to let him know that he was the elder.
But Mr. Su knew very well that Lou Yuming's offer was very generous, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If this cooperation fell through, it would be a huge loss for him!
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office.
Lou Yuming stared at his phone, troubled.
Why had it suddenly shut down?
Yao Yifan came over and thoughtfully placed a new phone on the desk.
Lou Yuming's eyebrows rose, his somber expression softening. He then tossed the broken phone over.
"See if it can be repaired."
He felt that the phone breaking at this particular time was too coincidental.
His expression had returned to normal, but his gaze was still sharp and intimidating.
Yao Yifan reminded him, "Mr. Su has been waiting outside for five minutes."
The man seemed not to hear, powering on the phone.
Yao Yifan continued, "Miss Anna... has also arrived."
He remained unmoved, but the pressure surrounding him dropped significantly.
Yao Yifan played a surveillance recording. "This is the footage I had you retrieve from the Shimao Hotel. The only woman who entered that night was indeed Miss Anna."
Hearing this, his terrifying gaze swept over, cold and devoid of emotion.
His sharp pupils locked onto Anna's figure in the surveillance, and the sinister look in his eyes deepened.
After a moment, he said coldly, "Let her in."
"Yes."
Just as he turned, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"Have Dai Ze contact the director of 'Mirror Twin Cities'."
Yao Yifan paused. Was this... an attempt to compensate Miss Song?
