“Sister, Song Group has the power to do so.” Lu Jinchen did not explain clearly.

Lu Qing hung up the phone, her body trembling with anger.

She recalled Shen Changqin promised her that this project would go well and Huan Sheng Group would nail it.

The two families had even decided on the date of their engagement.

What the hell was Shen Changqin doing?

Another phone call went to the Bai residence.

Shen Changqin and Bai Qiushui had also just received the news. She was thinking about how to explain it to the Lu family.

Bai Qiushui’s face paled when she saw the caller ID.

“What do we do? Mom, Lu Qing must be asking about the project. We agreed to it back then. What should we do now? Will Lu Qing cancel the engagement in a fit of anger?”

“Look at how timid you are. Remember that you’re Bai Zhenkai’s daughter now. It’s the Lu family who’s rushing to get engaged to you.” Shen Changqin berated her daughter.

“But, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Besides, you know how cruel Lu Qing was to Mu Yao. What if she makes things difficult for me after I get married to her because of this?”

“You’re different from Mu Yao. Lu Qing had treated Mu Yao poorly because Mu Yao couldn’t get pregnant. Lu Qing thought Mu Yao was easy to bully because she had no backing. You’re different. You’re Bai Zhenkai’s daughter. She can’t wait to curry favor with you. How would she dare to bully you?”

“But Mom, should we pick up this call or not? What should we say if we pick it up?” Bai Qiushui looked at her ringing phone and was at a loss.

“You shut up. I’ll do it.”

Shen Changqin picked up the phone. “Qing’er, why did you suddenly think of calling me?”

Lu Qing was furious when she heard Shen Changqin’s voice. Shen Changqin was still acting, but Lu Qing couldn’t lose her temper.

Lu Qing cleared her throat and asked as gently as she could, “Aunty Shen, didn’t you say we would win the Yuan Expo project? Our company listened to you and arranged the next step after winning the bid. Why did the bid go to Song Group now? Aunty, what’s going on?”

“Qing’er, don’t be anxious. I’ve heard from Old Bai that Song Group’s design caught the eye of the higher-ups, and he couldn’t do anything about it.”

Shen Changqin was confident and had already thought of an excuse.

“How is it possible? District Mayor Bai is the head of the district. How could he not have a way? ”

Lu Qing was getting impatient.

If Bai Qiushui couldn’t speak up for them in the Bai family…

In that case, this marriage would be pointless.

“Qing’er, you might not know yet. Song Group assigned Mu Yao as the designer this time. You know that Mu Yao worked at Huan Sheng Group before. This time, she’s able to beat Huan Sheng Group.”

“What? Mu Yao is a designer from Song Group?” Lu Qing was shocked.

“I only found it out recently. Mu Yao returned to City A and joined Huang Sheng Group’s rival company. She’s a cunning person, so I don’t know where she got the design.”

When Lu Qing heard this, she already had an idea.

“I understand, Aunty. Sorry for the disturbance.”

Lu Qing hung up the phone.

Bai Qiushui gave her mother a thumbs up.

“Mom, you’re the best. Let Lu Qing deal with Mu Yao. The two of them will fight each other. We’ll sit back and reap the benefits. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Shen Changqin nodded and didn’t speak.

Bai Qiushui saw her mother’s serious expression. She suddenly reacted.

“Mom, what do you think we should do if Lu Qing finds out about the relationship between Mu Yao and Dad?”
