A fallen heiress was brutally accused and forcibly taken from her - Chapter 15

She gradually crushed that proud spirit until Xu Suxin’s name was etched into her very bones, becoming her exclusive nightmare.

*

Recently, the kissing photo of Xu Suxin and Lu Chenxing became a perfect smokescreen, allowing her to successfully signal an impending marriage.

She then injected the funds she had earned, directly revitalizing the land plot.

She submitted a new repayment plan to the court, which temporarily suspended the bankruptcy proceedings and greatly reduced her stress.

The old guys in the company didn’t dare to pressure him any further for the time being.

After all, no one wanted to offend Lu Chenxing at this critical juncture.

In the afternoon, she met with several key creditors.

If she could demonstrate the land’s profitability and persuade them to withdraw their lawsuits, she could completely reverse the situation and gain a breathing space.

One of the families had some connection to Chen Jiumeng’s family.

Xu Suxin sent Qian Shanyue a message:

【What is Chen Jiumeng doing?】

Qianshanyue:

【You haven’t contacted her?】

Xu Suxin was detained for a period of time last time.

After she was released, she sent Chen Jiumeng a message.

Chen Jiumeng replied,

“Don’t contact me.”

She guessed that Chen Jiumeng was angry that she had stood her up.

But she couldn’t very well say that she was detained and got into a fight with someone and choked them.

Xu Suxin:

【There’s a bit of a contradiction. Why don’t you contact her?】

Qianshanyue:

【Haven’t been in touch for a long time. He might have died abroad.】

A few minutes later, she added,

“I’ll go with you.”

Then there’s no need.

If Qian Shanyue went with her, there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn’t ask for some kind of guarantee, so Qian Shanyue called her back.

Xu Suxin refused:

“You’ve already helped enough as a friend. Your family doesn’t want us to get too close anyway.”

When the two first became friends, Qian Shanyue’s family didn’t approve, let alone Xu Suxin’s current situation.

Qian Shanyue whispered and repeated,

“We are friends.”

“To have a friend like you is like a living bodhisattva,” Xu Suxin said with a smile.

Qian Shanyue said in an extremely calm tone,

“So you knew all along.”

“Of course,” Xu Suxin nodded.

“I remember everything.”

Qian Shanyue:

“Are you going to continue getting entangled with Lu Chenxing?”

“How?”

Qian Shanyue said,

“I’m just worried about you. I feel like this will never end.”

“It’ll be fine once this matter is resolved,” Xu Suxin pondered.

“It really seems like it’s going on and on.”

Qian Shanyue’s words brought her to her senses.

Being too obsessed with the economic benefits brought by Lu Chenxing would inevitably come at a price.

She had almost lost her life because she was too greedy for that thrill before.

Her eagerness to turn things around finally calmed down a little.

She had already paid the price when she was twenty.

Xu Suxin said,

“Thanks.”

After hanging up the phone, Assistant Cai rushed over with the documents.

Xu Suxin took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to her, saying,

“You’ve worked hard these past few days. They changed jobs, and you’ve been following them around.”

Assistant Cai took the red envelope, its bulge quite large, and said,

“Boss, this…”

Xu Suxin said,

“Keep it. It’s inconvenient for me to transfer money right now. Give me whatever you have.”

Xu Suxin treated her subordinates well.

After the company ran into trouble, she immediately went to auction houses and pawnshops to consign brand-name items and collectibles, and quickly gave all the money that could be converted into cash to her employees.

In her words, only the company’s employees are worried that she will genuinely go bankrupt.

If she doesn’t give the money to the employees who have worked so hard for her, why should she give it to those who kick her when she’s down?

Or let those old fogies squander it?

She boasts all day long that she and her father conquered the world together.

So why don’t these old geezers jump off buildings after her father?

If it weren’t for those old folks keeping a close eye on things, she would have just told her employees to pack up all the company’s stuff and take it home.

The venue she chose was a club.

Before going in, she touched up her makeup and entered with a smile.

She greeted everyone in turn:

“Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, Sister Li, I’m so sorry to invite you to dinner here today.”

Zhang Shuchang gave a very fake smile, clearly conveying a sense of distance.

Xu Suxin cursed him inwardly, calling him an “old geezer,” but she continued with a smile,

“This document is one I prepared. It’s about the money my father asked you for. I plan to return it to you as soon as possible, but I hope you can have it withdrawn by the court…”

Zhang Shuchang raised his hand to interrupt her.

“Su Xin, this matter is no longer something we can decide.”

Xu Suxin almost lost her smile, coldly watching this old fox put on an act.

A smile played in her eyes, a hint of mischief barely concealed.

A finely crafted insult circled on her lips, but she ultimately forced a smile that couldn’t be more fake.

“Then, Uncle, tell me, what’s the problem?”

“After our discussions,” Zhang Shuchang said slowly, “we are preparing to transfer this debt to a third party.”

Anyone who takes on the debt at this point is either a sucker or someone who is determined to destroy the Xu family.

Xu Suxin’s expression darkened, and her smile became stiff.

Zhang Shuchang said in a low voice,

“Lu Chenxing, Su Xin, of all people to offend, you had to offend her.”

“Offend me?”

Xu Suxin frowned, her face full of confusion.

She said,

“Uncle Zhang, didn’t you know? We’re getting married.”

Li Weining was stunned.

She had come with her father, hoping to meet Xu Suxin.

“How could that be? Why would she marry you?”

“Are you all so out of the loop?” Xu Suxin asked in confusion.

“I thought her intentions were quite clear when she came to take over the debts.”

She chuckled softly and tapped the table with her fingertips.

“Otherwise, would she be crazy to come and pick up this mess at this point?”

Now that you mention it, it really makes sense.

Li Weining still had doubts.

“But you…know each other? She’s abroad most of the time.”

“Our history goes quite deep,” Xu Suxin said, her eyes slightly raised.

“I met her at a horse race abroad. Otherwise, why do you think she would kiss me?”

Even she herself hadn’t fully grasped the intricacies of the situation, and she refused to believe these people could come up with a coherent explanation.

A confident smile still graced her face, her hands clenched tightly on her lap.

She simply hoped these people would be sensible enough to shut up and stop asking questions.

She was running out of excuses.

The three people opposite fell into contemplation.

Li Weining wanted to ask more questions, but her father secretly stopped her.

Just then, Xu Suxin’s phone screen suddenly lit up.

The photo of her kissing Lu Chenxing was displayed in front of everyone.

She turned off her phone and said,

“Sorry for the embarrassment. She asked me to change it. It’s a couple’s screen. She has one too. We’re in the honeymoon phase and can’t keep a low profile.”

Li Weining still didn’t understand.

“Does she like you? Isn’t it rumored that she wishes you were dead?”

Xu Suxin:

“Yeah, she’s head over heels in love with him.”

“…”

Xu Suxin raised an eyebrow.

“You like her?”

Zhang Shuchang pondered for a moment and said,

“So you mean…”

“Let’s sign an extension agreement,” Xu Suxin said.

“Once my cash flow improves, I’ll pay you both back first. You just need to submit an application to the court. If you really can’t make ends meet, I’ll have my son Xingxing pay it back for me.”

Zhang Shuchang and Li Jian’an exchanged a glance, while Li Weining remained focused on Xu Suxin.

Xu Suxin tapped her phone screen absently, a little flustered, fearing she might be exposed, but she maintained a smile.

Once the signature was given, she would have more room to maneuver.

“If it’s just a postponement…” Zhang Shuchang said cautiously, “it’s not something that can’t be discussed.”

After all, the debt is still there.

It’s just that it will be delayed for a while.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Jian’an replied,

“If President Lu is willing to act as guarantor, this matter can be accomplished.”

Xu Suxin gestured for Assistant Cai to hand over the documents.

The two old foxes took them and began to examine them closely, but more than ten minutes passed, and they were still flipping through the pages without making a comment.

Assistant Cai patted her shoulder.

Xu Suxin was also anxious, so she patted him back reassuringly, indicating that everything was alright.

She then asked Assistant Cai to give her the bag.

As she turned her head, she noticed the door was ajar.

Lu Chenxing stood outside, staring coldly at her, with three bodyguards standing behind her with their hands behind their backs.

Xu Suxin grabbed her bag and got up to leave.

Lu Chenxing was a very quiet person.

She walked in step by step, her aura pressing down on Xu Suxin.

Xu Suxin couldn’t smile and retreated step by step, forced back into the private room by her.

Xu Suxin retreated and leaned back in her chair, remaining motionless.

“Miss Xu, when did we become fiancées?”

Xu Suxin’s heart sank, and she knew something was wrong.

What’s more, the other party’s face was as cold as ice.

Lu Chenxing wore a sharp black suit that perfectly complemented her cool, mixed-race features.

With each step she took forward, the shadow drew closer to Xu Suxin.

Xu Suxin gripped the back of the chair tightly, holding her breath.

Fortunately, Lu Chenxing stopped three steps away and scrutinized this woman who was using someone else’s power with her deep eyes.

The two were sworn enemies.

Anyone would be enraged to hear that their enemy was spreading news of their marriage.

Xu Suxin’s mind raced.

She was full of tricks when it came to doing evil, but she was completely clueless when it came to mending the fence after the sheep were stolen.

Seriously…

A dead-brained person using their brain.

This conversation had already exposed their relationship, but that old geezer Zhang Shuchang still deliberately asked,

“Hey, what’s going on? Su Xin, aren’t you two in the honeymoon phase?”

Xu Suxin’s face tightened.

“The honeymoon phase?”

Lu Chenxing frowned, his gaze falling on Xu Suxin’s face.

Xu Suxin couldn’t hold back any longer, and Lu Chenxing was clearly angry too, pressing for an answer.

“Xu Suxin, not only is our wedding date approaching, but we’re also in the honeymoon phase?”

Xu Suxin’s lips trembled, and she uttered a shaky breath, saying,

“…You must have misheard.”

Everyone looked at Xu Suxin, and Lu Chenxing said slowly,

“I heard it once outside the door, and now President Zhang has said it again. I shouldn’t be deaf.”

Lu Chenxing, who is usually taciturn, was unusually serious at this moment, and her words were increasingly harsh, showing that she was truly angry.

Xu Suxin understood that as long as she gave any “evidence” of their “honeymoon phase,” Lu Chenxing would retort with a rebuttal that would leave her utterly humiliated.

Xu Suxin almost ground her teeth to powder.

She said,

“As soon as Mr. Lu returned to China, he immediately took me to your house for three days and three nights. Isn’t that love?”

“So?”

Lu Chenxing raised her eyes, a smile seemingly appearing in her pupils for the first time, but it was a smile that sent chills down one’s spine.

She said,

“You like it?”
