After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 492 - 495: A Low Person Deals with a Low Person【3】

Xu Pei’s mouth full of silver teeth almost shattered in frustration, believing herself to have been astute all her life, yet never anticipated that in the end, she would fall into Lu Hao’s hands, filled with unwillingness and resentment.

Lu Hao gestured to Qiangzi with a wave of his hand, and Qiangzi immediately grabbed the SLR camera and swiftly left the bar.

As she watched his figure disappear downstairs, Xu Pei wanted to stop him, but was powerless to do so.

If it had been the old her, in Beijing, she would have plenty of means at her disposal; but now, things were different. She absolutely could not let any of the people like Leng Zimo and Leng Zirui find out about these matters, or not only would she completely lose Leng Zimo, but she also would become an object of disdain to everyone else.

"If all that’s not enough, tomorrow I can also make a copy of all the call records between us and give them to President Leng." Lu Hao took a sip of the liquor from his glass, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, "As far as I know, Miss Xu seems to have quite a few shares in Emperor View. Five million is merely the equivalent of buying a couple fewer Maseratis. Why fret so much?"

Xu Pei took a deep breath in, five million was certainly not a significant sum to her.

Let alone the two million she invested in Emperor View, which, thanks to Leng Zimo’s years of effort, had already increased in value by many tens of times, even the money she had earned over the years had been invested in various industries. She could easily afford this amount.

The important thing was, she disliked the feeling of being blackmailed by others.

Especially when it came to Leng Zimo, she couldn’t let a single word of this affair leak out.

Narrowing her eyes to conceal the anger in her heart, she looked at Lu Hao across the table once more, her expression having regained calmness.

"I’ll give you ten million. You hand over all the materials to me, and in addition, I want you to do one more thing for me!"

"Swift!"

When Lu Hao heard the figure of ten million, his heart was bursting with joy.

He had initially thought that Xu Pei would haggle with him, feeling content with the thought of getting two or three million. He never expected that she would offer an extra million without any bargaining.

"Does that mean you agree?"

"Anyway, after I get the money, I’ll leave the country immediately and never show up here again. Anything I can do, I dare to do!" Lu Hao said.

"Good!" Xu Pei leaned slightly towards him, "I want you to ruin Luo Xiaoqian!"

"Ruin Luo Xiaoqian?" Lu Hao’s brows twitched, "You... you don’t mean murder, do you?"

"How could a dead person be an opponent to a living one." Xu Pei sneered, "I want her alive, but to live a fate worse than death!"

"What I mean is..." Lu Hao looked at her cold, beautiful face, suddenly realizing a possibility, "You’re saying..."

Seeing the fear on his face, Xu Pei arched her eyebrows, "Isn’t this the very thing you men enjoy doing the most?"

"But..." Lu Hao hesitated.

He admitted that he had always coveted Luo Xiaoqian, and even now, thinking about her, he regretted not having taken advantage of her when he had the chance.

But the Leng Zimo beside Luo Xiaoqian was too frightening.

"Do you really think I’d be afraid of your threats, thinking that just because Leng Zimo has the power to crush you, I don’t? Don’t forget, I too grew up in the military compound, in Beijing, I can make you disappear just as easily!" Xu Pei looked across the table at him, her tone becoming more gentle, "Money is never the issue. As long as you help me accomplish this, I can arrange for you to go abroad, to a place where Leng Zimo could never find you. There, no one will know who you are, and you’ll have plenty of money to squander. Think about it, taking a risk once for a lifetime of peace, I think it’s an opportunity. Don’t you agree, Mr. Lu?"
