Lu Yushi stood tall and straight by the roadside, one hand in his pocket.
What a picture-perfect image of a domineering CEO, a successful man!
And someone like that—he definitely wasn’t short of money.
She’d use his money… to destroy him!
Hearing footsteps behind him, Lu Yushi casually turned his head.
“…”
It was that woman again!!
“Don’t tell me you just happened to be passing by,” Lu Yushi said coldly.
There was no such thing as coincidence in this world. This woman, Su Weiwei, was clearly following him, pretending it was a chance encounter.
He’d seen this kind of ploy far too many times.
Su Weiwei: “Wrong. I didn’t follow you—I came out here specifically to find you.”
Lu Yushi narrowed his eyes slightly, giving her a once-over.
Looking for him?
He let out a short laugh. In the end, she regretted the divorce, didn’t she?
She couldn’t hold back anymore?
“If you’re here to beg for reconciliation, don’t waste your time,” Lu Yushi said coldly.
Su Weiwei: “…”
This dog of a man must have a screw loose!
Arrogant, conceited, and ridiculously narcissistic.
Pah!
“Who wants to reconcile with you? I came to ask—where’s that watch I gave you for your birthday last year? Please return it to me.”
Lu Yushi: “…”
It was as if a giant slap had landed on his face!
He said icily, “A gift once given—how can you shamelessly ask for it back?”
It was the first time in his life he’d seen someone try to reclaim a birthday gift they’d given.
Su Weiwei looked completely justified. “Of course I can. That watch cost fourteen point nine million. Something that expensive shouldn’t be wasted on you.”
Lu Yushi was instantly choked, tempted to slap this money-grubbing woman into the sky!
He said coldly, “The watch is gone.”
Something she gave him—how could he possibly have kept it?
Su Weiwei had already expected this answer. She lowered her eyes, masking the sly glint within them.
When she raised her head again, she looked at him with a face full of disdain.
“People always say the richer a man is, the stingier he gets. I didn’t expect President Lu to be one of those.”
Lu Yushi actually laughed from sheer fury.
Even if fourteen point nine million dropped on the ground, he wouldn’t bother to pick it up. And she thought he’d squabble with her over such a paltry sum?!
He pulled out his phone, his fingers moving quickly across the screen. When he finished, he lifted the phone and showed it to Su Weiwei.
“Fourteen point nine million. Already transferred. Su Weiwei, I’m warning you—don’t use excuses to pester me again!”
Without a trace of hesitation, he turned and left.
Xiao Chun had just driven up. Lu Yushi yanked the car door open, his face dark as he got in.
Su Weiwei watched the sucker drive away, her lips curling as she flicked her bank card.
“Money’s so easy to earn! Now, let me think… what else have I given Lu Yushi?”
The watch was the clearest in her memory. Back then, she’d practically emptied her account and even sold a few of her luxury bags just to scrape together four and a half million to buy that watch.
She’d been overjoyed when she gave it to him. But he hadn’t even spared it a glance, tossing it aside with a blank expression.
That look of indifference—Su Weiwei remembered it to this day.
She had laid everything she had before him, and he hadn’t even cared to see it.
Clutching her bank card, Su Weiwei turned and went home without looking back.
In the night, the car drove steadily on.
The streetlights outside flickered across Lu Yushi’s face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Just as Xiao Chun was sitting nervously, he suddenly heard Lu Yushi ask, “How much is Jacob & Co’s Astronomia?”
Xiao Chun froze for a moment before answering, “The Astronomia is one of Jacob & Co’s most iconic watches. The price is four point nine million.”
Lu Yushi: “…”
Four point nine million.
And she said fourteen point nine million!
Excellent.
That woman had dared to swindle him out of an extra ten million!
Lu Yushi stared at the rearview mirror, as if he could see three big words stamped on his own forehead:
SUCKER.
