Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Huai looked at Lu Li coldly. “If 1 didn’t come over, you would have tortured Pei Xin and the Lu Family would have lost their status.”

“You don’t have to care about Pei Xin and me.” Lu Li asked.

“I don’t, but it doesn’t mean I’ll let it slide.” As he spoke, Lu Huai’s tone was filled with disdain. “As expected, it’s true that your mother relied on dirty tricks to get to the top. Seems like what you learned from her is bringing the Lu family’s name down.”

Lu Huai directly exposed Lu Li in front of everyone.

Lu Li clenched his fists. If the person in front of him wasn’t his brother, he would have punched him already.

The thing Lu Li cared about the most was his identity.

He knew that his mother was a mistress.

However, due to his hierarchy in the Lu family, no one dared say anything in front of him for so many years.

Even he managed to deceive himself, thinking that the past had already been long forgotten.

However, Lu Huai’s words were akin to opening an old scar.

The bloody wound that he had tried to cover up had now been revealed in front of everyone.

Moreover, Pei Xin was there to hear it.

“Lu Li, I don’t care if you stay arrogant in the capital, but you should keep a low profile in Haicheng,” Li Ze said coldly. “You of all people should know how complicated the people in Haicheng are. We let your actions slide in the capital because you’re considered family, but what if you offend the people here? Be careful not to lose an arm or a leg when you go back.”

Lu Li felt humiliated, so he glared at Pei Xin and said, “What right do you have to question me for being here?”

Li Ze had tried to win Pei Xins heart when he and Pei Xin were in a relationship. Now that Pei Xin was already in such a sorry state, Li Ze still refused to give up and wanted to take her away.

Lu Li knew that he couldn’t win against Lu Huai and Li Ze, so he vented all his anger on Pei Xin.

Lu Li stared at Pei Xin with hatred in his eyes. “You must think you’re really smart. You offended someone in the capital and couldn’t take it anymore, so you came to Haicheng to look for Li Ze and seek his protection, right? Can’t you live without a man for once? I mean, how shameless can you be?!”

If it was in the past, Pei Xin would have been hurt to hear Lu Li’s humiliating words.

Now, she had lost all hope on Lu Li.

Lu Li allowed Sun Che to bully Ling Lin. He was no longer the warm and sunny young man she used to know.

In the past, she still felt guilty towards Lu Li. Even though she was forced to have sex with another man, she still felt like she betrayed him.

However, standing there, Pei Xin couldn’t tolerate his childish mindset anymore. She wanted nothing to do with Lu Li anymore.

Pei Xin felt at ease knowing that she was protected by Jiang Yan and Li Ze in Haicheng.

She regained some of her confidence even though Lu Li tried to break it down.

It also made her understand that what she was going through now was not her fault.

With that in mind, Pei Xin gathered her courage and slapped Lu Li across the face.

Lu Li had nothing to say. He never expected Pei Xin to hit him.

Pei Xin stared at Lu Li.

“Why do you think I came to Haicheng? Wasn’t it because you brought your silly guards around to harass me every day?

“You imprisoned me, beat me up, and abused me. I don’t care if you did that to me, but you took it too far when you decided to hurt my child and my brother.

“Lu Li, you may think that 1 betrayed you, humiliated your pride, and made you the joke of the entire capital.

“But I was also a victim back then. I was just as wronged as you and 1 suffered almost all of the backlash. What about you?”

Lu Li frowned. Although Pei Xin was telling the truth, it still hurt Lu Li’s self-esteem.

He couldn’t explain why he was so agitated every time he saw Pei Xin.

He also did not know how much he wanted Pei Xin to write off the past.

Perhaps he was resentful. In the past, Pei Xin only had eyes for him. She said that she wanted to marry him, but she had sex with someone else and even gave birth to another man’s b*stard child.

He hated Pei Xin even more for not telling him who that man was. He hated Pei Xin for protecting that man.

Although he was Ling Xue’s boyfriend now, Lu Li knew that he would never be able to forget his first love..
