The whole internet was curious about the mysterious rival “Phoenix,” who had been locked in battle with business mogul Lu Zhiye for three years and held a place in his heart.
But in Beijing’s elite circles, everyone laughed at Su Jingtang, the useless daughter of the Su family who had been sent abroad for eight years. They said her return would be a joke, and that she was destined to have her value squeezed dry by her uncle before being humiliated and dumped by her former fiancé.
Until
The Su family’s parasites were sent to prison, her former fiancé and his white-lotus lover were disgraced, half of Beijing’s capital fell into her hands, and international financial conglomerates suffered defeat at her hands.
Everyone was stunned. Where was the fallen heiress who was supposed to be useless? This was the Phoenix of Capital, a woman who could turn the clouds with one hand and bring on the rain with the other!
What set the internet ablaze was that the abstinent Mr. Lu, who had such a severe aversion to physical contact that even a woman approaching him made him vomit, had cornered Su Jingtang against a wall. His eyes reddened as he coaxed her softly. “Tangtang, we’ve been rivals for three years, and I’ve been in love with you for even longer. Marry me. My entire empire will be yours.”
Su Jingtang raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Lu, we’re sworn enemies. Aren’t you helping the opposition?”
Lu Zhiye lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, his voice hoarse. “I’d give you my life. What’s a little help to the opposition?”
At a global capital summit, a crowd of international moguls waited to watch Lu Zhiye face off against his sworn enemy, “Phoenix,” and placed bets on who would win the hundred-billion-dollar deal.
But on the livestream, the usually cold and austere Mr. Lu was carefully peeling shrimp for the woman beside him, removing every last vein.
The moguls: ??? Has Mr. Lu gone crazy? He’s still got time to fuss over a woman at a moment like this?
