Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 681: Seen a Demon

“Sorry.” Chu Lui looked at all the reporters in the room. “This is my privacy; please understand and respect it. I just want my daughter to have a simple life growing up so please do not invade my life.”

As he finished his sentence, his cold gaze stunned the reporter who asked the question, making the camera in his hand shake and almost drop to the floor. Chu Lui’s ruthlessness was known throughout the industry. There was once a reporter who did not know his limits and exposed his privacy; one could just imagine his consequences.

Hence, no one dared to offend Chu Lui.

Even though he would not kill someone, but he had tons of money and was capable of using his money to crush that person’s skull until there was nothing left. When facing an enemy, this man—especially—was a demon.

The person initially wanted to dig up some exclusive scoop, but he did not dare to think about it at all after the warning.

Xia Ruoxin stopped listening to whatever else was said at the press conference.

Families like the Chu family and people like Chu Lui were in the spotlight everywhere they went. She was very grateful for the Chu family’s understanding to allow Rainy to escape the gossip and just become a normal girl.

She only had a mother called Xia Ruoxin.

“Why are you here?” Suddenly, a shrill was heard, which made Xia Ruoxin’s ears hurt.

Before she could react, a body of bright yellow had walked past and stood in front of her, blocking her way.

Xia Ruoxin looked up and was looking straight at a face she had seen for the past twenty-odd years.

Xia Yixuan, long time no see.

Her lips curved up slightly. That expression was not a smile; it was filled with sarcasm and mockery.

“Ms. Xia, may I help you?” she asked without emotions.

Xia Yixuan obviously could not endure her shadow leaving her one day and going against her. Yes, Xia Ruoxin was Xia Yixuan’s shadow... her companion, her model to make her look better, her leaf, and her scapegoat to escape from her sins.

“Xia Ruoxin, why are you here?” Xia Yixuan’s voice was sharp, and her sound was ear-piercing. Every squeak she made became a needle mercilessly poking people to death.

“My location doesn’t seem to be Ms. Xia’s business. If Ms. Xia has nothing else to say, I’m leaving.” Once she finished her sentence, Xia Ruoxin walked away with her arms folded. She walked forward with her heels clicking behind her. Looking at her body from the back, the gentle light shining on her almost-perfect body made her look like a magnolia that had bloomed, blooming in her close to twenty-five years of life.

Finally, she broke out of her cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly.

Xia Yixuan stomped her feet in anger and had almost broken her own heel. That woman actually came back. She actually came back before she and Brother Lui had reconciled. She was back, back to steal her everything.

No, she could not allow this. Definitely not.

...

It was considered an accomplishment to finish the press conference with both of Chu Enterprise’s foundations being in the making. The final benefit for both the foundations was to help people.

Chu Lui was never a good person to begin with. To reach his motive, he had done everything, even attacking one at their lowest. He was known to be a wolf, and that was exactly his principle in life. In actual fact, he had never thought that he would establish such a foundation one day.

Even though he did not commit heinous crimes, he most definitely was not a good person.

However, the Heavens did treat him well.

Not only did he have a daughter, but that poor child could still continue living so he was touched and grateful. Therefore, he thought that he needed to do something to accumulate merit for his daughter.

This was also considered a small deed to make up for whatever he did; guilt that he could never forget.

He stood in front of the enormous full-length window and squinted his eyes slightly as if enjoying the warmth shining in through the windows. He was enjoying his rare afternoon break.

Bang! His office room door was slammed open.

“Brother Lui, you. How could you get together with that woman? How could you forget that she was the one who harmed me in the beginning?”

Chu Lui opened his eyes wide and turned around. Then, his thin lips opened, and the words he spat out were filled with hatred.

“Why? Are you dead? If so, then who is this in front of me? If you want to die and become a ghost, I don’t mind granting your wish.”

Xia Yixuan was stunned, and her face reddened. She was too anxious just now so she did not think her words through; whatever she could or could not say were all spluttered out in one go.

“Brother Lui...” She walked over and wanted to pull Chu Lui’s arm and hug it tightly. “Brother Lui, did you remember? When we were young, you treated me the best. Didn’t you say you wanted to marry me?”

“Marry you?” Chu Lui pulled Xia Yixuan’s hand away. “I am not interested in marrying a woman like you.” He laughed in disdain. “Do you think that I, Chu Lui, have so much endurance to pick up the shoes that other people had worn and played with other people’s women?”

“Xia Ruoxin was like that, too. Did you not pick her up as well?” When Xia Yixuan heard it, she was furious. “Back then, she had more than one man; but you still brought her to your side.”

“Shut up!” Chu Lui suddenly stared at her with her reddened eyes. He was like a poisonous snake, a beast... a demon that just crawled out from prison.

Xia Yixuan was taken aback. She wanted to cry and scream but dared not to. She just froze there. The Chu Lui in her memory, the Chu Lui she knew, no matter how he treated other people; he always treated her with care and carefulness. He had never screamed at her or was fierce towards her before, but because of that woman Xia Ruoxin, he actually threatened her.

“Get out!” Chu Lui pointed at the door and held back the urge to slap that woman. The predicament he was in today was all caused by that selfish woman, Xia Yixuan. To think she still had the audacity to reconcile with him.

Sigh. Chu Lui was indeed that foolish. He came and went whenever she wanted. However, no matter what, he was not short of women and things.

Xia Yixuan was shocked and rushed out as fast as she could.

When the secretary outside saw Xia Yixuan like that, she thought she had seen a ghost. Actually, Xia Yixuan did not see a ghost; she saw a devil. That devil was Chu Lui.

Xia Ruoxin just came up to the eighteenth floor and poured a glass of water for herself before she met Xia Yixuan who had just run over from her side.

She frowned.

If Xia Yixuan still wanted to get back together with Chu Lui, she had wasted all her years beside him. Did he not know what Chu Lui’s character was like? This man hated being bullied and calculated the most.

Xia Yixuan calculated and planned for Chu Lui to lose his descendants. How could Chu Lui possibly get together with her?
