C54 Cold War

When she said those words, her heart ached. Chu Luo purposely ignored the heartache as she spoke in a cold tone.

Bei Muchen was stunned for a moment. He pursed his lips and slightly pulled his hand away from Chu Luo. Seeing this, Chu Luo took the opportunity to escape.

She looked at Bei Muchen and said word by word, "Bei Muchen, the reason why I agreed to marry you is not because I like you. Our relationship is only related to each other through that marriage certificate."

She couldn't fall in love with Bei Muchen. Chu Luo was secretly on her guard.

Bei Muchen didn't answer.

Chu Luo took a deep breath, "I am very grateful for what you have done for me, but Bei Muchen, it is impossible between us."

Regardless of family or background, what's more, she had a Fu Annan in her heart.

In order to make Bei Muchen give up, Chu Luo suppressed the reluctance in her heart and decisively turned around to leave.

The moment she turned around, a cold voice sounded out, "Is it because of Fu Annan?"

Hearing this name coming out of Bei Muchen's mouth, Chu Luo couldn't help but tremble. She bit her lips. Pfft. There was no reply. It could be considered as a tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Bei Muchen approached her under the moonlight. He looked at her with a cold gaze. The air was heavy with pressure and Chu Luo's heart was thumping hard.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Bei Muchen sneered. He touched her face with his slightly cold fingertip. It was cold, without any warmth, "I understand."

In an instant, Bei Muchen passed by Chu Luo and left the place.

For the first time, he personally left Chu Luo alone.

Chu Luo's heart ached as she looked at his lonely back. The corners of her eyes were sore, but she forced the tears in her eyes to return.

Chu Luo, it's good for you and for him to do this.

Chu Luo hadn't seen Bei Muchen since their conversation at the back mountain. She knew Bei Muchen was avoiding her, so even if Antie Lee noticed something, it was still a matter of the two's relationship.

Antie Lee was not in a good mood.

Chu Luo came to the company as usual, "Director, you're back." Seeing that Chu Luo had returned, Mu Yanling went up to ask enthusiastically.

However, Chu Luo was not in a good mood. "Bring me the documents from the last few days for me to take a look."

Seeing that Chu Luo was not in a good mood, Mu Yanling didn't dare to ask any further questions and obediently passed the nearest documents to her.

His finger stopped, but the sadness in his eyes only lasted for a moment.

Mu Yanling frowned. What happened to the director?

"How's it going with Grandma Pei?"

Upon hearing her question, Mu Yanling obediently told her what had happened in the past few days, "The Chief had taken the risk. That violet hair has already been detained by the police and is being accepted by the court. Xu Ying did as we said and advised and advised. This is the land deed."

Mu Yanling handed the land deed over to Chu Luo. Chu Luo took a look and confirmed it.

Waving her hand to let Mu Yanling out, she suddenly thought of something and called out to Mu Yanling once more, "Where is Lady Pei staying now?"

Since the land deed had been handed over, based on Xu Ying's words, there was nowhere for her to go.

Mu Yanling knew what Chu Luo was thinking. She laughed out loud, "Director, do not worry. I've already settled in Grandma Pei."

Hearing her words, Chu Luo could be considered relieved.

The moment Mu Yanling left, Chu Yinqing's secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Supervisor CEO Chu, CEO Chu wants you to go to his office now." With that, the secretary left.

When Chu Luo heard that Chu Yinqing was looking for her, her eyebrows knitted together. Since he was the CEO of the company, Chu Luo could only go over no matter how unhappy she was.

At the door, her cold face knocked on the glass door.

"Come in."

Chu Luo pushed the door open and went straight to the point, "Is there anything that CEO Chu wants to talk to me about?"

Chu Yinqing looked up at her with disgust, but he didn't show it. He leaned his back against the chair and looked down at Chu Luo condescendingly.

"Chu Luo, you handled the matter pretty well this time."

Not only did he solve the problem of land, but he also created an image for the company.

Chu Luo lowered her eyes in silence. She and Chu Yinqing had always been silent. It was probably not a good thing that they had called her here today.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Yinqing didn't want to say anything more, so he went straight to the point, "After this incident, the company has confirmed your ability and decided to hold a welcome party for you tonight. As the main character, you must attend."

Chu Yinqing's words clearly showed that he didn't want Chu Luo to have a chance to refuse.

Chu Luo frowned and could only agree.

Returning to the department, Mu Yanling was the first to step forward and ask, "Director, what happened?" Mu Yanling was a little worried. After all, it was Chu Yinqing who was looking for her.

Chu Luo said with a calm face, "It's fine. I was just informing you that there's a party tonight."

For some reason, Chu Luo felt a sense of unease and panic.

In the evening, after work, Chu Luo and Mu Yanling went to do the styling and changing the dress.

When Chu Luo wore a sleeveless V-neck pink dress, her whole body was startled. Her beautiful eyes drooped down slightly, and her lips were red. The dress accentuated her perfect figure.

Pink accentuated the whiteness of her skin.

Mu Yanling couldn't help but exclaim, "Director, you're so beautiful!" She had always known that Chu Luo was a beauty, but she didn't think that even a casual dress that Chu Luo wore would look like it was carefully crafted.

Chu Luo smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your praise. You are beautiful too."

Mu Yanling smiled innocently.

The two of them arrived at the party at the same time. People came and went, and Chu Luo's appearance immediately became the center of attention, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her ability.

An unfavoured daughter easily solved a problem that no one could solve.

"Chu Luo, you look so beautiful tonight."

Several people who wanted to kiss up to Chu Luo came over and surrounded her. Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. Chu Luo saw it and took a glass of red wine from the waiter without saying a word.

A brilliant red. Her lips curved into a polite smile as she said, "Thank you for your praise. Wine, I will do it as a form of respect."

With that, Chu Luo raised her head and took a sip of the red wine in her cup. She then passed the cup to the waiter again, "I still have some matters to attend to. Please excuse me."

While she was speaking, Chu Luo had already left.

When Chu Luo left, those women's expressions became a little unsightly. They looked at Chu Luo's back with disdain while holding their wine cups, "What are you tugging at? Isn't that just a dog raised by Chu Family? What are you all so proud of?"

"That's right, we came to drink with her to give her face, and she really thinks she's a Miss Chu Family. If it wasn't for the madame protecting her, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have been able to see the entrance of the Chu Family."

Several women lowered their heads and laughed mockingly.

"The young miss is here." Someone said.

Upon hearing that Chu Jingran had arrived, their expressions changed, and they ran in the direction of Chu Jingran. It would be better to curry favor with Chu Jingran rather than Chu Luo.
