Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

"Liaoyuan" is a large-scale international project.

Many companies are now actively engaging with the international market, in addition to developing their domestic business.

Xiang Mingche was eager to secure this project because the Xiang Group faced considerable difficulties in China, and he needed to forge a new path to expand overseas.

The bidding meeting was held at the landmark Tian Shu Hotel in Beijing.

When Si Yuan and Xiang Mingche arrived, Li Jiale was already there.

Six months ago, Li Jiale secured a construction project in North Africa for the Li Group, which greatly boosted the group's growth momentum.

This is why Xiang Mingche asked Li Jiale for help.

When Li Jiale saw Si Yuan, his eyes widened.

When Si Yuan is plain-faced and doesn't dress up, she's already enough to make him infatuated.

I dressed up specially today, showing off my beautiful swan neck; it's absolutely stunning.

"As expected of a major project that Young Master Xiang cares about, he even brought his fiancée to the bidding meeting."

Xiang Mingche disliked the way Li Jiale looked at Si Yuan.

After hearing from Si Yuan about Li Jiale's betrayal, Xiang Mingche went to the Li Group to confront Li Jiale and got into a fight.

He grabbed Li Jiale by the collar, his face contorted with rage. "Why did you tell A-Yuan that I was the one who drugged her, that I was the one who put her in your bed?"

"What?"

Li Jiale never expected that Si Yuan would tell Xiang Mingche about this.

He had assumed that, given Si Yuan's personality, she would keep this a secret.

"Luckily, A-Yuan loves me and believes I won't hurt her; otherwise, I would never have let you go."

"Oh--"

Li Jiale sneered, then suddenly raised his fist and punched Xiang Mingche hard. "You won't let me go? Aren't I telling the truth?"

Li Jiale spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Xiang Mingche with a mocking expression. "What? You want to act virtuous while being a prostitute?"

"Hold--"

The two of them started fighting like elementary school kids.

Even the secretary couldn't pull them apart when she rushed in.

After a fight that ended in mutual destruction, Xiang Mingche wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If you still want me to help you get A Yuan, then stop talking nonsense in front of A Yuan."

Li Jiale wants Ah Yuan, he wants [Liaoyuan].

Therefore, we had no choice but to sacrifice A-Yuan.

Although Li Jiale failed last time, as long as Li Jiale helps him get [Liaoyuan], no matter how reluctant he is or how much he feels sorry for A Yuan, he has to keep his promise.

Xiang Mingche smiled slightly, "My daughter A Yuan is my lucky charm. With her around, I can achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"Yeah?"

Li Jiale's lips curled into an ambiguous smile. "Then I wish Young Master Xiang success."

Si Yuan watched the two of them act quietly, feeling only nauseous.

She looked at Li Jiale with a smile, "Young Master Li, are you here to bid today too?"

Si Yuan rarely smiled at Li Jiale, so much so that when Li Jiale saw her smile, his heart almost stopped.

That damned vixen, he'll sleep with her sooner or later.

He has a lot of dirty and filthy thoughts in his heart, but he pretends to be a normal person on the surface.

Li Jiale shrugged. "I have that thought, but... if I win, then as Young Master Xiang's lucky charm, wouldn't you be my lucky charm too?"

Xiang Mingche's face immediately darkened, and he tightened his grip on Si Yuan's arm. "Dream on, Si Yuan. Come on, let's go inside."

"it is good."

Si Yuan nodded obediently, and as she entered, she subtly glanced at Li Jiale.

Li Jiale was almost completely captivated.

His body was already reacting; he took out a cigarette, lit it, and licked his cheek with his teeth.

Oh--

What does Si Yuan mean by this?

Knowing that Xiang Mingche is a scoundrel, she wants to throw herself into his arms?

Si Yuan has already released the bait; now she just needs to wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Ah Yuan, isn't that Fu Qidong?"

Si Yuan gestured with Xiang Mingche's chin and saw Fu Qidong and Si Aofu.

Si Aofu still sported her signature bright red lips, exuding the charm and sexiness of a mature woman. Standing next to Fu Qidong, she smiled and socialized with the others.

Si Yuan could tell that her smile was fake.

Fu Qidong has also been doing very well in recent years, looking radiant and refined.

The two also saw Si Yuan. Fu Qidong said something to Si Aofu, and Si Aofu's expression stiffened, but she still accompanied Fu Qidong over.

Xiang Mingche's expression was not good, his eyes filled with suspicion and dissatisfaction. "Ah Yuan, did you know that Fu Qidong is also here to bid?"

"I have no idea."

Si Yuan truly didn't know. She never got involved in business matters, and if it weren't for revenge, she wouldn't be standing here today.

"Didn't Si Aofu tell you?"

Si Yuan frowned. "Why did she tell me?"

Seeing that Si Yuan's expression didn't seem like she was lying, Xiang Mingche immediately smiled and said, "You and Si Aofu used to be so close, I thought she told you everything."

Si Yuan: "You said it yourself, that was before."

Xiang Mingche: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it..."

"I know."

Si Yuan interrupted him calmly, smiling at the two approaching people, "Sister, brother-in-law..."

Fu Qidong smiled slightly, "Ah Yuan, it's been a while since I've seen you. You've become more and more beautiful."

Si Aofu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but Si Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, brother-in-law. It's because of your love and care that my sister has become more and more beautiful."

Fu Qidong glanced at Si Aofu, tightening his grip on her waist. "That's true. A wife's beauty is a husband's honor. It's my honor to have raised your sister to be so beautiful."

Si Aofu broke free from Fu Qidong's hand and took Si Yuan's arm.

"I haven't seen A-Yuan in a long time, I'm going to have a sisterly chat, you two stinky men can talk by yourselves."

Fu Qidong smiled indulgently, and only after the two disappeared from sight did he look at Xiang Mingche and say, "What a lovely pair of sisters."

Xiang Mingche disliked Fu Qidong's smile, always feeling that he was like a smiling tiger.

"Yes, is Mr. Fu here today also to bid for [Liaoyuan]?"

"That's right, Young Master Xiang, we're in competition today. I won't go easy on you just because you're my future brother-in-law."

Fu Qidong has already made his stance clear. Although he is a formidable opponent, Xiang Mingche is not to be underestimated.

Xiang Mingche gave a forced smile, "Then let's wait and see who comes out on top."

In the corridor, Si Aofu released Si Yuan. "Didn't you always dislike attending these kinds of events? Did you come with Xiang Mingche this time to help him win over [Liaoyuan]?"

Before Si Yuan could speak, Si Aofu continued, "Fu Qidong is determined to get the [Prairie Fire] project. I advise you not to do anything unnecessary."

Si Yuan looked at Si Aofu quietly. "What is superfluous?"

Si Aofu scoffed, "A woman's beauty can get her many things done, don't you think?"

Si Yuan frowned. "Did Fu Qidong ask you to do anything?"

Si Aofu: "..."

It must be admitted that Si Yuan is frighteningly perceptive in some aspects.

"Ha—I'm his wife, what can he ask me to do?"

Si Aofu clicked her tongue impatiently, "I'm talking about you, why are you dragging me into this?"

Si Yuan: "Don't worry, Xiang Mingche is no match for Fu Qidong."

Si Aofu didn't understand at first, "What?"

Si Yuan smiled gently, "Xiang Mingche has absolutely no chance of defeating [Liaoyuan]."

Si Aofu: "..."

Si Yuan looked at Si Aofu quietly, "Do you want to help Fu Qidong take down [Liaoyuan]? I can help you."
