A fallen heiress was brutally accused and forcibly taken from her - Chapter 10

Qian Shanyue suddenly called out to her,

“Su Xin,”

The question was asked again:

“Have you two talked about it?”

Xu Suxin’s heart tightened at her shout, and she exhaled when she heard the last sentence.

“Do you think that’s possible? She wants me dead.”

Qian Shanyue analyzed seriously,

“Could it be that you gave her the wrong impression that you were dating, and then you dumped her, and she’s seeking revenge?”

Xu Suxin replied,

“Yes, there’s a possibility. She fell in love at first sight and used this method to attract my attention.”

She laughed as she spoke, her neck aching.

“Do you think it’s likely?”

Qian Shanyue said with a stern face,

“What if she’s just like you, a complete lunatic?”

Xu Suxin felt uncomfortable listening to this and looked unhappy.

“No, that’s going too far. You can scold her if you want, but why scold me?”

Her voice was steady, tinged with a hint of helplessness, and there was no trace of lying in it.

“You really want it back?”

That’s an official seal.

If Lu Chenxing were to hand over the company seal to her father’s mistress, Xu Suxin would not be able to keep even her last shell company and would likely face imprisonment.

Qian Shanyue suddenly spoke up.

“I have a solution.”

Xu Suxin raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.

Qian Shanyue:

“I apologize.”

Xu Suxin casually flipped through two pages of Lu Chenxing’s information, then looked down and chuckled.

It’s quite funny; she was locked up, and she still had to go and apologize to the people involved.

Xu Suxin asked Qian Shanyue to take her back to the company and then quickly attended a meeting.

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with her disappearance.

Xu Suxin really couldn’t understand it.

We’re all tied to the same rope, so who are we trying to impress?

Tell her to hand over the company seal.

Isn’t that hilarious?

She doesn’t have one.

Xu Suxin stood up and left her seat, followed by the sound of several people angrily slamming their fists on the table.

Zhang Huilan quickly stepped forward to block her path and said earnestly,

“Su Xin, you haven’t gone to collect your father’s ashes yet. Is that proper?”

This woman was her father’s mistress, the company’s undisputed “Mrs. Xu.”

Xu Suxin’s mother had passed away early, and Zhang Huilan had been by Xu Zhixiang’s side for over twenty years, making her the more respected figure in the company.

Yet, at this moment, she was acting like an elder, scolding Xu Suxin.

Xu Suxin smiled and said,

“I only refrained from disturbing his ashes because of that thin father-daughter bond. Otherwise…”

She took a half step closer, lowered her voice, and uttered the vicious words,

“I would have scattered his ashes long ago.”

Zhang Huilan was trembling with anger, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

“He’s your father!”

Xu Suxin curled her lips in disdain, her eyes full of mockery.

“Mind your own business. You don’t even dare to retrieve my ashes. Don’t you even know if you’re qualified to talk to me?”

Everyone in the company knew that if Xu Zhixiang hadn’t protected Zhang Huilan and kept Xu Suxin in check, Xu Suxin would have killed her long ago.

Now that the group could not afford any negative news, and with Xu Zhixiang dead, no one was willing to protect her anymore, so Zhang Huilan had no choice but to hide as far as possible and not show her face.

Hearing this, a bystander rebuked her, saying,

“She did give birth to several children for your father; shouldn’t you show her some respect?”

Xu Suxin scoffed, took a half step back, and raised her voice.

“Shouldn’t you know better than anyone else—are those children really my father’s?”

Zhang Huilan’s expression changed drastically.

She had been Xu Zhixiang’s secretary and mistress for twenty years, and their child was already twenty years old.

She thought she could take over after outliving the original wife, but who knew that Xu Suxin’s mother was a ruthless character.

Fearing that Xu Zhixiang might have other children, she simply crippled him before she died.

Xu Suxin smiled and turned to leave.

A breeze ruffled the stray hairs by her cheek, sending them fluttering in a few gentle arcs.

Her smile was cold and venomous, her red lips sharp as blades.

Poisonous woman!

Poisonous woman!!!

Just like her mother!!!

Xu Suxin returned to her office and carefully reviewed the documents.

She focused on the companies under her name, holding onto the company seals tightly to prevent those old fogies from secretly siphoning off her assets and ensuring her companies would never recover.

As for whether those people lived or died, whether they lined up to jump off buildings or lay dead in the streets, she didn’t care at all.

After delivering the documents, the assistant reported in a low voice,

“We’re still short ten million for that piece of land in the east of the city.”

In the past, Xu Suxin could easily throw around ten million.

For example, when she broke up with Lu Chenxing, she directly gave him a thirty million breakup fee.

Who knew that Lu Chenxing would use this money as capital, invest it in the stock market, and his net worth skyrocketed overnight.

After turning the tables, he returned to China to seek revenge on her.

“I’ll think of a way. You guys can stall a little longer.”

“But is it really possible to get this money? Given the current situation…”

Xu Suxin twirled her pen between her fingers as her office chair slowly turned towards the window, her face expressionless.

During this sensitive time, her assistant feared she might resort to underhanded tactics.

After a moment, Xu Suxin composed herself and said gently,

“Thank you for your hard work while I was away these past few days.”

The assistant was still somewhat uneasy, having been intimidated by her earlier imposing manner.

That night, Xu Suxin returned to her apartment, reviewed the documents, and then poured herself a glass of wine.

She suffered from severe insomnia.

Her insomnia started after she went bankrupt and took on debt.

The doctor diagnosed it as excessive mental stress, coupled with her arrogant personality—she couldn’t feel sadness, leading to polarized emotions, which caused this condition.

Initially, she could manage to fall asleep with medication, but after taking too much, she became drowsy and her thinking became sluggish.

Later, she became addicted to alcohol, which was slightly more effective than medication.

She slept very well at the villa a few days ago, probably because she and Lu Chenxing were so tired from fighting that she could fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

She came out of the bathroom and walked to the mirror in her slippers.

The straps of her silk nightgown slid down her arms, revealing her delicate collarbone and a bite mark on the side of her neck.

She picked up a cotton swab to apply medicine, then began to apply skincare products.

As she meticulously massaged her wrist, she suddenly frowned, paused, and stared intently at her wrist.

Unconsciously, she recalled the past, when she was riding on Lu Chenxing’s back and cruelly whispered in her ear,

“You will always be my dog, until death do us part.”

She admired the teeth marks on her neck.

She remembered a home remedy she had found online:

Sex can induce sleep, and you’ll fall asleep instantly.

She looked down at her legs.

Would Lu Chenxing still be willing to let her lick him?

After finishing her work at the company, Xu Suxin arranged to meet Lu Chenxing.

She was still afraid of Lu Chenxing after all.

He had a lot of underhanded tricks up his sleeve, and she needed to resolve things as soon as possible.

Xu Suxin didn’t want to leave herself with a lot of leverage.

The first letter went unanswered.

President Lu was very busy, handling projects worth hundreds of millions, so naturally he had no need to see her.

It was obvious that Lu Chenxing was waiting for her to return in person.

The more arrogant she was when she left, the more pathetic she would have to crawl back now.

This was clearly trampling and grinding her underfoot.

Xu Suxin didn’t want to humiliate herself any further, so she checked her recent schedule through the racecourse.

Sunday, at the racetrack.

Lu Chenxing was surrounded by a large group of people, a more impressive entourage than Xu Suxin had been back then.

Xu Suxin used to have a habit of watching horse races, returning to the event at least once a month.

At that time, she was flamboyant and outgoing, and others would avoid her or give way to her if they could.

Lu Chenxing, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed, like a very dignified leader.

She was wearing a black V-neck suit and trousers, one hand casually in her pocket, and glanced at Xu Suxin with a nonchalant look.

Xu Suxin sat alone on the sofa.

A deck of cards from a horse racing club was between her fingers, and there was no one around her.

She casually fiddled with the cards.

She’d been dreaming about that face a lot these past few days.

In her dreams, a crimson light always seemed to be closing in.

The face was sinister, and every movement was imbued with a frenzied ruthlessness.

When she woke up, her body would always have a subtle, throbbing pain.

Seeing it again now, she felt somewhat dazed.

The people gathered around Lu Chenxing were mostly those who hated Xu Suxin to the core.

Lou Yuan was one of them, her face practically beaming with glee, her eyes brimming with smugness.

It seemed everyone knew she and Lu Chenxing were at odds.

Xu Suxin still had a faint smile on her face.

As Lu Chenxing passed by, she stood up and called out,

“President Lu.”

Lu Chenxing didn’t stop walking.

Xu Suxin called out again in a louder voice, and only then did she stop and look back.

A silence fell over the surroundings as the two faced each other in silence.

Lu Chenxing stood calmly in the crowd, her eyes gentle and her manners impeccable as she chatted and laughed with those around her.

But the moment her gaze swept over Xu Suxin, a shadow fell over her eyes.

The cotton cloth around Lu Chenxing’s neck had been removed, leaving a shallow scar.

Meanwhile, Xu Suxin’s white shirt collar was neatly fastened, completely covering her neck and making it impossible to tell whether there was still a mark.

Xu Suxin took a step forward.

A genuine smile appeared on her face, revealing a rare touch of gentleness.

She said,

“I left my things at your house. I’ll send someone to pick them up when you’re free.”

Her words were polite, but those around her looked at Xu Suxin with surprise, which showed that she was truly down on her luck.

Lu Chenxing replied,

“You can go and get it yourself.”

Xu Suxin answered,

“That would be inappropriate. Wouldn’t that make me your honored guest?”

Lu Chenxing said,

“Then we can only have it burned. Miss Xu, it shouldn’t be a problem to prepare another copy.”

Before Xu Suxin could finish speaking, Manager Zhou arrived, chatting with Lu Chenxing with a smile.

He observed the relationship between the two and, seeing that they didn’t get along, first saw Lu Chenxing off before praising Xu Suxin and saying,

“Chidian really misses you.”

Xu Suxin nodded.

Before entering, she asked,

“How is Chidian’s condition?”

“She hasn’t played for a few days, but if you’d like to see her today, we can bring her out.”

Upon entering, Amber’s promotional posters were everywhere in the racetrack.

With its dashing figure and agile physique, it was undoubtedly the most dazzling star of the day.

Xu Suxin slowly and deliberately pulled on her black gloves, the fine leather tightly encasing her palms.

Manager Zhou hesitated for a moment before asking,

“Are you going to place a bet for her?”

Xu Suxin glanced at him indifferently.

At that moment, Red Lightning was brought out.

Compared to Amber, its condition was extremely poor, even appearing somewhat sickly.

Xu Suxin went over to examine it carefully and found that it had increased discharge from the corners of its eyes and its breathing was somewhat rapid.
