Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 892: Lu Family Causing Trouble

She put her hand down and bowed towards Chu Lui. “Sorry, CEO for bothering you and Ms. Xia.” She turned to Xia Yixuan. “I think you’re mistaken. There’s nothing between me and CEO.”

“What nothing?” Xia Yixuan turned her head and hollered at Xia Yixuan, “How dare you say there’s nothing? If there’s nothing, why will Brother Lui hold your hand? Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Women like you have obviously fallen in love with Brother Lui’s family background.”

Family background...

Sometimes, Xia Ruoxin felt that Xia Yixuan was very intelligent; but why did she feel that Xia Yixuan was very dumb now? No, she was dumb to no end. Was it true that even the smartest of women would turn into a total fool in front of love?

In the past, ten Xia Ruoxins could not even compare to a strand of Xia Yixuan’s hair as one of them was a step-daughter while the other was the princess of the Xia household. They were as different as the sky and the ground, heaven and earth. However, as of now, sorry; ten Xia households could not compare to one Lu family.

“Sorry, CEO. I’ll go first.”

She did not care if she was slapped. She did not cry and even smiled demurely. They were not over with this slap. Of course, as for the hatred between them... it was definitely not over.

Upon seeing Xia Ruoxin leave just like that, Xia Yixuan was originally elated. However, when Xia Ruoxin reached the entrance, she suddenly turned around and smiled strangely at Xia Yixuan. That smile almost made Xia Yixuan scream out loud.

Her blood curdled and hair stood on end.

This was Xia Yixuan’s current feelings. This was her first time seeing such a woman who made her uncomfortably petrified.

“Yixuan, you’re in trouble.”

Chu Lui pulled Xia Yixuan’s hand away. His emotionless voice could almost freeze Xia Yixuan’s heart.

“She’s not your sister who will let you hit her and bully her at will. She’s from the Lu family.”

Xia Yixuan’s face went white as a sheet. She understood what Chu Lui was saying. From the Lu family...

Yes, the Lu family was involved with the military, and it was the Lu family who was of equal standing as the Chu Enterprise. The Lu family’s personality was the same as its reputation—short-tempered.

One Xia Ruoxin had spoiled her. Even Chu Lui did not dare to make a move on anyone in the Lu family, but Xia Yixuan slapped Lu Xiaohua. Everyone in the industry knew that they could not be Chu Lui’s enemy and definitely could not offend Lu Jinrong.

It was not that bad if one offended him personally as Lu Jinrong’s mood changed very quickly. Perhaps he might not let one off, but he would definitely not play one to his death. However, if one dared to have any intentions on his family members, sorry; he would definitely bite the person until their bones were gone.

Xia Yixuan cried until Chu Lui was frustrated. To him, the tears of women on earth were all trouble. Only one woman’s tears could make his heart ache, but when he thought about it, his heart started to act up.

He needed to think of how to appease the Lu family.

After all, the incident had happened at his house; and he could not absolve himself from the responsibility. Just that, when he looked at his hands, they started trembling for some reason.

Ding-dong...

The doorbell rang.

Xia Mingzheng looked at the time weirdly. “Who came back at this time? Was it Yixuan? This girl is always running to the Chu family. Tsk, girls are hard to keep when they’re older. I think I should go to the Chu family in a few days. Yixuan is not getting younger, and they should settle on the date.”

A cold smile flashed on Shen Yijun’s face.

Did he really want to shove his daughter into someone else’s third marriage? However, who was not selfish? For his own daughter, he could sacrifice all of his pride.

However, this was how other people loved their own daughter. She was the only one who did not even treat her daughter like a human.

She turned her face around, and in the shattered air, there was a self-reproach that she could not shake away.

The helper at home went to open the door and got a fright when she saw the people outside, especially the one that was most in front. That middle-aged man had a murderous vibe, and there was another young person who looked like him. Even though the young person’s lips were curved upwards, it gave people a cold feeling.

“Who is here?”

Xia Mingzheng stood up and thought in his heart: how long did she open the door for? Why did she not say anything or invite the person in?

In the end, when he saw the people that came in without invitation, he was suddenly in a daze.

“Old Lu?” Hurriedly, he went up to welcome them. When he saw the young person beside Lu Ke’en, he did not understand why the whole family came. Were they going to propose?

However, he did not see Yixuan interact with the Lu family, and he did not hear her mention it before.

At this moment, his brain was quite confused, but he still had to treat his guests politely. Hurriedly, he greeted them and smiled, “My humble house is honored by your presence.”

Lu Ke’en sneered and interrupted Xia Mingzheng rudely. “Don’t say this kind of nonsensical words to me. I don’t understand them. Ask Xia Yixuan to come out. How dare she slap my daughter? Xia Mingzheng, did you even teach your daughter properly? How dare she touch my princess?”

Xia Mingzheng’s face went red, and he wanted to smile again; however, it was impossible as cold sweats started to form on his forehead. Did he not tell Yixuan before that there were some people she could not mess with? One of them was the people from the Lu family. How dare she slap someone from that family? Old Lu was originally very short-tempered, and he would definitely tear their house down.

At this time, Jian Qingying and Xia Ruoxin walked in. Jian Qingying cried until her eyes were swollen. The daughter that she had found back with much difficulty was slapped by someone before she could properly dote on her. Besides, her face was as swollen as a bun.

Originally, Xia Ruoxin had white skin and her face was pretty thin so the obvious five-finger mark was still there.

If one had to say who was the most worried amongst the people here, it would have been Lu Jinrong. After all, he knew clearly how Xia Ruoxin’s face came about. He was wondering if her fake face would be slapped until it was crooked. He also knew that with plastic surgery becoming increasingly popular, there were many news stories of people with their mouths crooked, chins slanted, and boobs exploding on planes.

Did she really slap her until some part broke?

Just that, he was really thinking too much. Strictly speaking, Xia Ruoxin’s face was not considered fake as she had only smoothed her bone. Her nose and chin were not touched, and there were no implants on her face. Besides, even if there were, it was impossible that a slap would cause her face to be crooked. That would no longer be a face and was bean curd instead.

The reason why Xia Ruoxin’s face could not endure slaps was that her face had injuries before. When she recovered, the new muscle was very thin; and it had not been too long since her recovery so she could not handle slaps naturally. However, not being able to handle slaps did not mean that her face would be ruined.
