A fallen heiress was brutally accused and forcibly taken from her - Chapter 7

The office was deathly silent.

　　Behind the large desk, Lu Chenxing sat quietly. Several senior executives finished their reports with obsequious bows, only daring to quietly retreat after she nodded. An assistant stepped forward discreetly and asked, “Miss Fu is here. Would you like to see her?”

　　Lu Chenxing coldly refused: “I won’t see you.”

　　”Mr. Lu, do you need any treatment for the injury on your neck?” The assistant was halfway through his sentence when his gaze inadvertently swept across the office screen, and he immediately gasped. The screen showed Xu Suxin, who had been out of the public eye for a long time. Three surveillance cameras clearly captured her pacing in the room, and in one of them, you could even see the obvious anxiety on her face.

　　Lu Chenxing is decisive and ruthless in her work, but she has an excellent image in the company. Upon returning to China, she distributed benefits to all employees, and she is humble, polite, and exudes a composed and noble air.

　　The assistant looked at her incredulously. Lu Chenxing’s gaze darkened, and the assistant immediately fell silent; the person inside looked exactly like Xu Suxin.

　　Lu Chenxing switched off the surveillance footage and made a video call.

　　The indoor heating was too high, so she unbuttoned her collar, revealing half of her bandaged neck and the bruises that hadn’t faded.

　　On the screen, a blond foreigner leaned back in his chair, speaking broken Chinese, his tattoos on his arms flailing wildly with the movements of his arms. He reported, “It’s been arranged as you requested. You just need to send her personal documents, and after that, she’ll disappear without a trace abroad.”

　　”Um.”

　　The foreigner added, “But to make her disappear completely, we must pay attention to her personal information and prepare a new identity.”

　　”A new identity?”

　　The foreigner was taken aback, suddenly realizing that the employer might not want to give the person a new life, but rather to completely erase that person from the world.

　　”She doesn’t deserve it.”

　　The three cold words plunged the call into a deathly silence.

　　”I’ll handle the rest.”

　　The video immediately cut off.

　　Lu Chenxing switched back to the surveillance footage. What she wanted was not a new life for Xu Suxin, but to imprison her forever in her grasp, making her live a life worse than a dog’s.

　　Xu Suxin leaned back in her chair, casually kicking her slippers away. The black dog skillfully chased after them and retrieved them.

　　She hadn’t played with the big black dog for long when the servant forcibly led it away. She turned to look out the window; dusk was falling heavily.

　　Two days later, there was new activity at the villa.

　　A black sedan drove into the courtyard.

　　Xu Suxin raised an eyebrow, her heart fluttering slightly. She immediately adjusted herself, suppressing this absurd thought. It had been sitting there for so long that even seeing Lu Chenxing would subconsciously evoke anticipation.

　　Lu Chenxing did not come up; Xu Suxin was taken downstairs by the Filipino maid to have a meal.

　　Lu Chenxing held a document in her hand, engrossed in it. Her demeanor was businesslike and aloof, a far cry from the image of the little monster in Xu Suxin’s memory.

　　However, Lu Chenxing was indeed diligent and eager to learn back then. Xu Suxin found her many teachers, and her IQ seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, while her “lust quotient”… seemed to have dropped to zero.

　　Lu Chenxing sat down at the dining table, slowly wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, and then fastened the silver ring at the end of the thin chain on his wrist.

　　Xu Suxin crossed her legs, her toes twitching slightly, making a soft sound. Lu Chenxing, however, seemed not to hear, and continued to slowly pick up his knife and fork.

　　Such a demeanor is unimaginable to outsiders; she was once a gloomy and aloof little monster, and also Xu Qianjin’s lover.

　　Only after she started eating did the two hands that were pressing on Xu Suxin’s shoulders release their grip, and the bodyguards stepped aside to wait for orders.

　　This rare moment of peace reminds Xu Suxin of the little moments they’ve shared in the past. Xu Suxin says, “I think I can remember you a little bit now.”

　　Lu Chenxing’s voice was cold, “A little?”

　　Your hair seems to be whiter than it is now.

　　Lu Chenxing looked up at her.

　　In that instant, Xu Suxin remembered—whenever her fingers ran through his hair, Lu Chenxing would look up at her with that same gaze, which always ignited her desire to conquer.

　　Lu Chenxing said, “It seems you really don’t remember anything.”

　　This statement was so certain that it made Xu Suxin, who was pretending not to know her, suspicious. Had she overlooked something?

　　Lu Chenxing’s shirt collar was slightly open, revealing that the wounds under the cotton fabric had all healed, and the surrounding skin had turned from red to blue, a hideous bruise.

　　In contrast, Xu Suxin recovered much faster, and the marks on her neck had completely faded. This stark contrast made it seem as if she had unilaterally assaulted Lu Chenxing.

　　Xu Suxin said, “It seems like you were more well-behaved before?”

　　Lu Chenxing asked, “Do you like the old days?”

　　Xu Suxin said, “Without comparison, I can’t say I like them.” In other words, she doesn’t like any of them right now.

　　”You still need treatment.”

　　Lu Chenxing’s calm tone was just like a doctor giving a death sentence to a patient, indifferent.

　　Xu Suxin held the glass in her hand, and in principle she should have smashed it, but she refrained from doing so and drank some red wine.

　　She licked her upper lip; the steak sauce and red wine mingled together, creating a delicious and intoxicating flavor.

　　Lu Chenxing tasted it as well and said, “The craftsmanship is quite good.”

　　”What other ways do you plan to kill me?” Xu Suxin asked in a different phrasing.

　　”It’s to treat your illness.”

　　Xu Suxin pulled hard on the chain, and Lu Chenxing’s hand went deeper, almost piercing her upper lip with the fork Lu Chenxing was putting in his mouth.

　　When Lu Chenxing looked at her, Xu Suxin had a fork pressed against her throat. She said, “Pull me forward, and I’ll die in your hands.”

　　”Miss Xu, are you not planning to eat anymore?” Lu Chenxing asked.

　　The Filipino maid was about to clear away the food when Lu Chenxing raised her hand to stop her: “Let her eat.” She looked at Xu Suxin, her tone imposing, “Are you going to eat?”

　　They knew perfectly well that beneath this calm, war was about to erupt. Xu Suxin began to sip her wine.

　　It must be said that Xu Suxin’s mental strength is terrifyingly powerful. Being locked in a room all day with no one to talk to, she can still remain so calm, her mental resilience is almost dangerous.

　　It’s easy to imagine that if she were still the same Xu family heiress, Lu Chenxing would not have a good ending if she escaped.

　　After that, the two maintained an eerie silence, not uttering a single word.

　　After finishing her meal, Xu Suxin took the glass to rinse her mouth. She got up first, holding a glass of red wine, and went upstairs.

　　Lu Chenxing still had work to do. The bodyguard whispered a few words in her ear, and the problem seemed quite tricky. She frowned.

　　Xu Suxin went upstairs.

　　The bodyguard then spoke up, “Mr. Lu, it seems that Miss Qian Shanyue suspects you. She suddenly came to the company today and left her phone number with your assistant. It seems she found you through the club and paid them money, so…”

　　Just then, a dog barked from upstairs.

　　Xu Suxin grabbed the cup and smashed it against the glass window!

　　The black dog, mistaking the flying shards for slippers, pounced on them, tearing at the fragments and barking again, its roar echoing throughout the entire villa.

　　A few minutes later, Lu Chenxing pushed open the door and entered.

　　A pillow came hurtling towards Lu Chenxing, who dodged it by tilting her head. Xu Suxin stood by the bed, her chin slightly raised, elegant yet shy.

　　”Why don’t you use a cup? It might kill me.” Lu Chenxing walked around the pillow on the floor to the bedside, and the Filipino maid behind him immediately picked it up.

　　”And then you rush over and slap me?” Xu Suxin sat in the chair, looking at Lu Chenxing in the same way he had looked at her before.

　　Lu Chenxing sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at her fiercely.

　　Xu Suxin suddenly sensed a strange symbiotic relationship. Not only in this enclosed space, but also in the future, they would continue to be entangled in a twisted way, with Lu Chenxing clinging to her tightly.

　　Xu Suxin said with a smile, “I think someone must have come looking for us.”

　　The bodyguard came over again, and Lu Chenxing said coldly, “Reply to her, I don’t know any Miss Xu.”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chenxing’s phone rang; it was an unknown number.

　　She didn’t answer, letting the call automatically disconnect.

　　The other party did not give up and sent another message.

　　[Ms. Lu, I’ve come to pick up my friend. She told me before we met that she had an appointment with you and asked me to take her home. I won’t bother you for too long.]

　　Xu Suxin didn’t need to ask at all.

　　Xu Suxin tilted her head and smiled at the dog, praising, “Good dog.”

　　Just as the dog was about to respond, it met Lu Chenxing’s gaze, and instantly it tucked its tail between its legs and shrank its body.

　　”Otherwise, would I spend every day playing with a dog, throwing slippers at it?”

　　The black dog had no idea what was happening.

　　He only saw the reward on one side and Lu Chenxing’s angry glare on the other.

　　Xu Suxin raised her lips and smiled contemptuously: “You think you’re the master just because you own a broken dog.”

　　Chapter 7

　　Xu Suxin was truly awful. She showed no restraint, still smiling blatantly at Lu Chenxing, before suddenly shoving the window open to the left. A gust of cold wind rushed in, whipping the curtains open and carrying the crisp scent of roses. Strands of hair brushed against her cheek in the breeze.

　　Xu Suxin felt no fear at this moment. She was certain that Qian Shanyue was downstairs. Even if Lu Chenxing refused to let her go, as long as she jumped from here, Qian Shanyue would have a reason to rush in immediately, and at most she would end up in the hospital.

　　When she was twenty, the media commented: “If Miss Xu smiles at you, dark clouds will linger over your head for three days.”

　　Xu Suxin licked her lips, the remaining wine carrying the mellow aroma of fermented grapes.

　　But noticing Lu Chenxing’s eyes darken, she restrained herself, her smile fading, leaving only her fox-like eyes still shining brightly.

　　Lu Chenxing slowly tightened the chain around her hand. She pulled it forward a bit, and Xu Suxin was forced to stumble a step. She was still a caged bird.

　　Xu Suxin pressed her feet firmly against the ground. She had no doubt that if she were pulled to the ground, Lu Chenxing would stomp on her face and crush her bones.

　　”That’s enough, Mr. Lu. You’re a rising star in everyone’s eyes. Don’t keep arguing with someone like me who’s already lost everything. I have nothing left to lose. If you’re really desperate, just expose what happened today. You don’t want the stock market to crash, do you? After all, you just got back, and investors still have high hopes for you…”
