From a luxuriously decorated three-story villa to her husband's room with blackened walls and long-overdue furniture, Chen Xuanxuan's life took a huge turn overnight.
Before yesterday, she was a high-society socialite, living in a luxurious room and using top-notch luxuries. But overnight, she could no longer smell the fragrance of flowers, only the smell of mold.
Standing in the dilapidated living room, she felt confused and powerless for the first time.
"Why do you want to provoke Su Jian'an?" The former Chairman Chen, who had gained countless white hairs overnight, was sitting on the hole-in-the-hole sofa. "Now who doesn't know that Lu Boyan loves his wife as much as she lives, how can we please Su Jian'an?" It was too late, and you and your mother actually went to the police station to cause trouble for her... "
"I thought what Ruoxi said was true." Chen Xuanxuan said in despair, "Ruoxi told me that Lu Boyan and Su Jian'an actually have no feelings, and they will divorce in more than a year. I thought their love only existed The newspapers thought that Lu Boyan would not care about Su Jianan at all in private."
"You're so confused. Even if Lu Boyan doesn't care about Su Jian'an in private, Su Jian'an is his wife and his person in name. Are you the one who can touch Lu Boyan's people? It's all my fault. I blame me for not cultivating him when I was young. You put so much pressure on your sister again." Father Chen covered his face and cried, "Now you can do nothing but spend money, and your sister died unexpectedly... It's all my retribution..."
Chen Xuanxuan knelt down in front of her father with a pop: "Dad, it's none of your business. It's all my fault. I... I'll find someone to help and get our company back."
She ran out in a hurry, the city light rail whizzed past the corridor window, cars were coming and going on the main road, everyone was in a hurry, and the sun was dazzling unbridled...
She suddenly remembered that she had been abandoned by the so-called socialite circle, and now no one would answer her call. Those young men who either joked or seriously said they wanted to marry her also avoided her.
Her world was once so big and her circle was so wide, but once she was imprisoned, no one was willing to help her.
In desperation, she dialed Han Ruoxi's phone number and pinned all her hopes on Han Ruoxi - they were best friends. Moreover, Han Ruoxi has a close relationship with Lu Boyan, so she should be able to convince Lu Boyan to give the Chen family a chance.
"Xuanxuan, I just transferred 300,000 to your card." Han Ruoxi answered the phone, her voice regretful but also indifferent, "This is the only way I can help you at the moment. As for going to Lu Boyan to intercede for you, I'm not sure."
"Try it!" Chen Xuanxuan grasped the last straw, "No matter what, please try it first, okay? Maybe... your influence on Lu Boyan is greater than you think?"
Han Ruoxi was silent for a moment, and the voice finally came from the other side of the ocean: "Then I'll try. But, Xuanxuan, this is the last time I will help you."
Chen Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment: "Ruoxi, what do you mean?"
"It's best for us to reduce contact in the future." Han Ruoxi calmly stood on her own side and thought about her own interests. "You also know that with your current reputation in the socialite circle, no one is willing to contact you. Even the manager If you don't ask for it, I will reduce my contact with you. You don't have to pay back the 300,000, and you can live a good life in the future."
After Han Ruoxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and Chen Xuanxuan finally cried.
The world was cold, and she was abandoned by the whole world.
However, she won't just accept her fate. Su Jian'an left her with nothing but one life. If she can't find an ally, then... the worst she can do is trade one life for her and Su Jian'an! Anyway, living such a life and living in such a lousy house, there is no difference between her and being in hell!
…
…
Lu Group, President's Office.
As always, there were mountains of documents on Lu Boyan's desk, and his schedule was so tight that he couldn't even find time to chat.
The internal phone suddenly rang, and Daisy's voice came: "Mr. Lu, Miss Han Ruoxi's phone number. She said she has something urgent to call you."
Lu Boyan frowned: "Come in."
"You must be at work, I didn't disturb you, right?" Han Ruoxi's voice sounded embarrassed.
Lu Boyan signed the document: "Daisy said you have something urgent?"
"You can guess it, right?" Han Ruoxi smiled bitterly, "It's for Xuanxuan. Although I don't understand the rules of survival in your mall, but if you can... Can you please stay with the Chen family for my sake?" A way out."
"They can start over and make a comeback," Lu Boyan said, "but it's impossible to get back up from the Chen family."
"Why did you suddenly kill the Chen family?" Han Ruoxi asked, "Is it really for Su Jianan, as spread on the Internet? I don't understand the rules of your game, but I'm sure you made a lot of enemies in this acquisition war. Bo. Yan, have you ever thought about it—is this worth it?”
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't need to." Lu Boyan's voice was cold, "Su Jianan is my wife now, and anyone who dares to touch her will only end up like this."
It turns out that he can have such straightforward support, but to another woman.
Han Ruoxi felt a chill in her heart: "So, it's useless for me to beg you, right?"
Lu Boyan didn't speak, but Han Ruoxi had already heard the answer. She smiled sadly and said, "I just don't understand why. Before you and she got the certificate, you told me so coldly that you would divorce her, but now... you Too concerned about defending her.”
After pondering for a moment, Lu Boyan slowly spoke: "Even if we get divorced in the end, before that, she is my wife."
Han Ruoxi understood that Lu Boyan wanted to protect Su Jianan as best as possible before the divorce, and give her everything he could, including his tenderness, care, and pampering that outsiders could not see.
She was the one who got it wrong. She thought that Lu Boyan's cold talk about the divorce meant that he had no feelings for Su Jianan.
In fact, she couldn't understand Lu Boyan's feelings for Su Jianan.
If she wanted to get Lu Boyan, it would take far more effort than she imagined.
She took a deep breath: "Since I can't help Xuanxuan, let me remind you: if you are in a hurry, Chen Xuanxuan can do anything, no matter how much the price she has to pay. So, please pay attention. "
Lu Boyan hung up the phone and his eyes darkened little by little...
Oh, you can do anything
…
The day's work soon came to an end. At five o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of young people came out of the office building. The city's public transportation system was quickly filled with these young people, and the roads were jammed with countless vehicles. .
Su Jianan climbed onto the highway after passing the most congested section, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. While controlling the steering wheel leisurely, she wondered if Lu Boyan would come back to finish dinner today. If he came back, what would he do for him
When she got home, she happened to run into Lu Boyan.
"Huh? You're so early today." She looked surprised. "For the first time in more than a week, you came home before ten o'clock!"
Lu Boyan pulled her into his arms: "Miss me?"
Su Jianan pretended to be disdainful and sneered: "Narcissistic, rogue, let me go."
Lu Boyan hugged her tighter and held her cheek: "Let me see how effective the scar removal cream is."
Su Jianan generously turned her left cheek to Lu Boyan and said, "It's ready."
It was indeed healed. The scar that originally took at least a month to completely disappear was now completely invisible in less than ten days. Her cheeks were as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg.
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows: "Should you thank me?"
"Hmm." Su Jian'an said obediently, "I'll cook a big dinner for you tonight!"
Lu Boyan frowned in disgust: "This is what you should do."
"Hey, you are so picky." Su Jianan thought seriously for a while, stood up on tiptoes and kissed Lu Boyan on the cheek, "Then I owe you this once."
She ran back into the house as if she was running away. Lu Boyan didn't see the blush on her cheeks, but just looked at her slender and flexible back, like a deer full of vitality, covered with the light golden light of the setting sun. It was so beautiful that it made his heart soften.
True to her word, Su Jianan prepared a really sumptuous meal for this dinner. The portion of each dish was not large, but it definitely tasted first-class, had an alluring aroma, and was exquisitely presented.
Before she had time to take off her apron, she called Lu Boyan over to try the food. She held her chin and looked at him expectantly: "How does it taste?"
Lu Boyan nodded: "Not bad."
Su Jianan finally smiled reassuringly: "I put so much thought into thanking you, but it's not to thank you for bringing me the scar removal cream, but to thank you for everything you have done for me during this time."
"I've done so much, and even tried so hard to acquire Chen's, and you... just give me a table of food?" Lu Boyan was obviously very dissatisfied.
Su Jianan blinked: "You acquired Chen's... really for me?"
Lu Boyan said calmly: "What else? Do you have a better way to warn Chen Xuanxuan?"
Su Jianan was in a daze, just to warn Chen Xuanxuan... Lu Boyan was so aggressive
Well, she suddenly felt that Lu Boyan was so handsome!
She shook her head and praised Lu Boyan: "Your method is the most thorough."
thorough? The most radical thing should be to let Chen Xuanxuan leave City A forever. But as far as Lu Boyan knew, Chen Xuanxuan and Chen's father still lived in her husband's house in Central.
"From now on, you can take my car to work." Lu Boyan suddenly said.
"Ah?" Su Jianan couldn't react for a moment, and she was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why?"
"Chen Xuanxuan is now forced into a desperate situation. I don't know if she will do anything to you." Lu Boyan explained, "It would be safer if you go to and from get off work with me."
So, can she ride on Lu Boyan's car again
Su Jianan tried hard to hide her inner joy and pretended to be calm: "What if you work overtime or I work overtime?"
"Uncle Qian will pick you up."
"Okay." Su Jianan smiled and gave Lu Boyan a piece of braised pork, "Lu's big boss wants to be my driver. If I refuse, I will definitely be suspected of having a brain problem."
Lu Boyan just smiled.
It took a few days for Su Jian'an to understand what Lu Boyan's smile meant - Lu's big boss was not her full-time driver. Sometimes when Lu Boyan had to check emails or talk on the phone with his assistant secretary, the driver would become Uncle Qian.
Only when the weather is good, he is in a good mood, and there is plenty of time, he will take her out ten minutes early and deliberately drive the car very slowly to let her see which garden in the villa area has flowers again. opened.
However, when off work, Lu Boyan mostly drives the car himself. He rarely works overtime. Su Jianan just happens to have no trouble cases recently. Every time an eye-catching Aston Martin ONE77 parked in front of the police station, Su Jianan had to accept a warning from a colleague. Their eyes saluted.
But as time went by, going to and from get off work with Lu Boyan became Su Jianan's new habit. (To be continued)
