Song Yunxuan's thin shoulders were so pinched that they hurt.
Her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. She looked at him with confusion in her eyes: "What's wrong?"
There was a layer of chill on Chu Mochen's face, his eyes stared at her, but his cold thin lips did not say a word.
Song Yunxuan was hurt, so she raised her hand to support his chest: "You hurt me..."
Chu Mochen's thin lips pursed into a thin line, and even though she said it hurt, he still didn't relax.
There was a little moisture in Song Yunxuan's eyes, and her eyes were blank and confused: "You pinched my shoulder and it hurts. Did I make you unhappy?"
Chu Mochen just wanted to crush her bones like this.
Not only did she make him unhappy, she made him hate her.
Why does she want to meet the old man of the Xiao family
Doesn't she know that Lu Xia has been plotting against her
Didn't she know that as soon as she met the old man of the Xiao family, she might be taken away from him
Chu Mochen's fingers tightened, and Song Yunxuan looked at him sadly, frowning tightly because her shoulders were hurt.
When she shows weakness, she is like a lonely little beast. Even if people remember that she could hurt others sharply, they still can't help but pity her.
The expression in Chu Mochen's eyes changed, but her painful look was reflected in his pupils.
Shen Mo didn't know how long the stalemate lasted, just when Song Yunxuan was about to struggle and push him away.
Chu Mochen suddenly held her tightly in his arms.
It was so sudden that she opened her eyes wide in surprise, unable to react immediately.
Chu Mochen held her delicate body tightly, and his broad embrace was so warm that he almost melted her into his body.
He didn't say a word, but the force he held her in his arms was enough to make Song Yunxuan understand everything.
Chu Mochen... couldn't give up on her.
She was held in his arms and looked towards the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The blank and pitiful look in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by eyes as clear and cold as the stars in the sky.
This trip to the port city was full of twists and turns.
However, it's time to draw an end.
As she thought this, Chu Mochen's lips were printed on her hair.
The thin lips began to be stained with the scorching temperature, spreading inch by inch and burying themselves into her delicate neck.
She bit her lip and suppressed a low moan.
But his body couldn't help but start to tremble.
It was dark outside the window. She raised her hand to block the dazzling light and was pressed down on the soft sofa.
His kiss was hot and domineering, so powerful that she couldn't help but frown.
However, when his hand was placed on her lower back and caressed her back along the graceful curves, her stomach was churning.
"Ugh..."
He couldn't help but make the sound of retching.
She pushed him away and rushed from the sofa to the bathroom.
Chu Mochen did not chase after him. The collar of his unbuttoned shirt was messy, revealing his wheat-colored skin, revealing his strong and sexy skin texture.
The tail of his hair was slightly raised, but his eyes were fixedly looking at the direction where Song Yunxuan disappeared.
It seems as if he is talking to himself or to others.
He opened his lips lightly and uttered three words: "I don't believe it."
That's right, he didn't believe that Song Yunxuan's reaction was just a stomach bug.
…
The night was dark.
The only sounds in Sheena Hospital were of nurses walking softly down the hospital corridors.
There was one more person in Xiao Jiancheng's ward.
The white assistant held the gilded door handle and gently closed the door.
Lu Xia, wearing a red short skirt and white fur, walked towards Xiao Jiancheng on the hospital bed.
The old housekeeper of the Xiao family stood aside silently, with freshly ground coffee already prepared next to the sofa.
Lu Xia's red lips raised slightly, with a modest and generous smile: "I'm disturbing Xiao Shibo by visiting late at night."
Xiao Jiancheng half-leaned on the hospital bed and smiled, feeling a little tired: "Anyway, it's all thanks to Xiaoxia that you helped me take care of A Luo during the time I was in coma."
Lu Xia sat on the sofa, gently raised his legs, and spoke straight to the point without being polite: "I heard that Master Sun is here to see you today."
"Um."
Xiao Jiancheng responded, and Lu Xia still had a smile on his face.
The strong aroma of coffee beside her faded away, but she still wore gloves on her hands.
White gloves of fine velvet covered her two missing fingers.
But Xiao Jiancheng's eyes could not help but fall on her right hand.
The grudges between the Xiao family and the Lu family were not forged overnight, so if the two families turned their hostility into friendship, it would not be a matter of words.
Xiao Jiancheng is not the kind of person who heals his scars and forgets the pain.
Lu Xia was certainly not a forgetful person who could go against the wind and gain power in the Lu family.
His old eyes looked at Lu Xia, his eyes passing over her fingers.
"Xiaoxia..."
"Shibo, if you trust me, you can call me Axia." Lu Xia raised his hand to pick up the coffee cup next to him, the smile on his red lips was capable and beautiful, "My family used to call me this. of."
As soon as Lu Xia said this, Xiao Jiancheng was stunned.
Lu Xia actually had no relatives. Everyone in the upper echelons of Hong Kong City knew that Lu Xia was an orphan. When he was young, he was adopted from the orphanage by the head of the Lu family and the young master of the Lu family.
But at that time, rumors were spreading. Many people said that the young master of the Lu family went to the orphanage to ask his parents to adopt an orphan for him because of the death of a sheepdog.
Therefore, at that time, Lu Xia's presence in the Lu family was just a replacement for the dead shepherd dog.
Everyone said that Lu Xia was brought to the Lu family as a dog.
However, those who said these words back then would never have imagined that more than twenty years later, it would be this orphan who would hold the most powerful position in the Lu family.
Lu Xia was adopted into the Lu family and had no dark thoughts in her heart.
She treats her young master loyally and regards the Lu family as her reborn parents.
Therefore, after the poor young master of the Lu family died, Lu Xia worked hard for the Lu family regardless of the cost.
Nowadays, the head of the Lu family has settled abroad and does not care about family affairs.
The huge Lu family is controlled by Lu Xia alone.
The grievances and grievances between the four families in Hong Kong City are something Lu Xia can easily grasp.
She has been planning to cooperate with the gradually declining Xiao family since a long time ago.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang refused to form an alliance with her.
Among the four families in Hong Kong City, each family is closely related. If one family is isolated, the balance will be broken.
The Xiao family was severely weakened after the death of Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan's two younger brothers continued to replace Xiao Xuan.
But they wanted to cooperate with the Huo family to destroy her Lu family.
Lu Xia could almost expect that after Xiao Xuan's son died, the Xiao brothers and the Huo family who were in power would immediately target her.
Therefore, when he took sides, he made a desperate choice to choose Master Sun, who seemed to have little hope of survival.
"Shibo, from the day I was willing to help Xiao Luo, you should trust me." She took a sip of coffee and raised her eyes to meet Xiao Jiancheng.
There was still hesitation in Xiao Jiancheng's eyes.
Lu Xia raised his hand and showed him his right hand.
The gloved hand has all five fingers.
But after taking off the gloves, you will find that Lu Xia's right hand only has three fingers.
The other two were lost in the last confrontation between the Xiao family and the Lu family.
"Shibo, Xiao Xuan is dead. We will let him go about the past. Now, I just want the Lu family and the Xiao family to happily form an alliance."
Xiao Jiancheng nodded: "That child... you have found it for our Xiao family."
Her words were a little abrupt, but everyone present could instantly understand what they meant.
The smile on Lu Xia's lips rose by three points: "Do I need a paternity test?"
Xiao Jiancheng shook his head: "That child's eyes are exactly the same as Ah Xuan's."
The old man's eyes were a little moist, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "I never thought that I would still be able to see that child in my lifetime."
"Uncle Shi, I am from the Lu family. I cannot directly support Master Sun, but she can."
Xiao Jiancheng looked at Lu Xia, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and there was deep thought in his eyes.
Lu Xia was right. Even though he and Lu Xia had reached a private alliance, he was seriously ill now, and the Xiao family basically had two sons to take care of it.
The two sons have always opposed cooperation with the Lu family.
Since Xiao Xuan's death, the outside world has always believed that the Lu family and the Xiao family are incompatible.
How could Lu Xia help Xiao Luo gain a foothold in the Xiao family
"Xiao Luo is the orthodox heir. As long as there is enough evidence to prove that Song Yunxuan is the granddaughter of the Xiao family, you can let Song Yunxuan recognize her ancestor and return to the Xiao family."
"After all, she's just a granddaughter." Xiao Jiancheng sighed, his voice containing three parts of doubt and seven parts of regret.
After all, it is difficult for a girl to achieve great things.
In all his years in the business world of Hong Kong City, he has only seen two women who can dominate one another.
One is Gu Changge from Yuncheng.
And the other one was Lu Xia in front of him.
Gu Changge's talented father, Gu Cheng, has taught and trained him carefully since childhood.
And Lu Xiaxia is intelligent, and the head of the Lu family is not an ordinary person.
And Song Yunxuan...
"I heard," he looked away, recalling the information about Song Yunxuan's life experience that the housekeeper had read to her during the day, "this child lived in a small town since childhood and was recently taken into the Song family. Song Yan died not long ago."
Lu Xia did not deny it: "That's true."
Xiao Jiancheng's cloudy eyes narrowed: "Although she is a beautiful girl, she is also a bloodline of my Xiao family. It is natural to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, but..."
The old man deliberately stopped talking.
Lu Xia raised his eyes slightly and looked at the old man's expression: "Shibo, what are you worried about?"
Xiao Jiancheng sighed deeply: "I'm worried about this child's safety."
Xiao Jiancheng's words were extremely heavy.
The expression in Lu Xia's eyes darkened slightly - she knew that the old man was not only worried about the child's safety, but also worried that the child would not be able to turn the tide in the internal struggle of the Xiao family.
The eldest daughter of the Xiao family who was born in a remote town, although she has spent half a year in the Song family, is probably of little use if she is placed in the ups and downs of the port city.
The old man had a plan in mind, and even if he didn't say it outright, someone like Lu Xia, who was very transparent, would understand her concerns.
Lu Xia stood up and reached out to his white assistant.
The assistant immediately took out a beautiful gold-gilded invitation from his arms.
There are gold-pasted flowers of wealth and elegant handwriting on the invitations.
Lu Xia opened the invitation and handed it to the old man: "I heard that the two young masters of the Xiao family are hosting a dinner party. Shibo, you might as well give her a try."
