Chapter 827: Chapter 826: Fell in Love with Him
Liu Zheng’s expression instantly darkened upon hearing those words.
Xia Qiqi, that woman, was truly beyond reason.
"You get out, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Liu Zheng’s eyes were full of disdain.
"Mr. Che, you can’t treat me this way! Have you forgotten what we once..."
"Xia Qiqi, don’t force me to escort you out myself!" Anger rose thickly on Liu Zheng’s face.
"I really like you! Mr. Che..."
"Shut up!" Liu Zheng scolded angrily, "If you dare to pester me again, don’t blame me for not being polite!"
Xia Qiqi shrank her neck in fear and didn’t dare to speak recklessly anymore.
"What are you still doing here? Get out quickly! I don’t want to see you anymore, get out!"
"Yes, Mr. Che!"
After Xia Qiqi left the office, Liu Zheng shut the door with a slam.
Damn it, he must be crazy!
To think he would still be haunted by this woman and allow her to come here and make a scene.
The more Liu Zheng thought about it, the more irritated he became. He grabbed his jacket and car keys and drove out of the company.
...
Near Han Corporation, in a commercial district, at the top floor of a high-rise building, inside a private room.
Lin Ruoxuan sat by the window, hugging her knees, her gaze dully fixed on the streetscape outside the window.
"Ruoxuan!" A woman walked in and called out.
Lin Ruoxuan jolted awake, turned her head, and upon seeing her best friend, immediately reined in her emotions.
"Xue’er, why did you suddenly come here? Didn’t I ask you to accompany that Liu Zheng?"
Lin Ruoxuan looked at her friend with slightly furrowed brows.
Han Corporation was the most prestigious enterprise in City A, holding a pivotal position in the business world.
Although her friend was the secretary to the general manager of Han Corporation, she was not acknowledged by the Han Family, and her position in the company wasn’t high.
"I missed you! So I came over to see you!"
Su Yuluo sat down in front of her, looking at the Lin Ruoxuan who was staring out of the window, and couldn’t help but pat her on the shoulder.
"Ah! Ouch..."
Lin Ruoxuan came back to her senses and, seeing her friend, felt a bit embarrassed.
"Hey, look at us. How long has it been since we last saw each other? I really missed you."
Su Yuluo grabbed Lin Ruoxuan’s hand, her smile blooming like a flower.
"By the way, how are things with you and that Liu Zheng... are you still okay?"
Lin Ruoxuan looked down, her eyes reddening, "Not good!"
Su Yuluo’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Ruoxuan, don’t be like this! Liu Zheng is a married man with children, he’s not right for you! Why do you demean yourself so?"
Lin Ruoxuan shook her head, "No! Xue’er, it’s my own fault; I never thought my relationship with Mr. Che would turn out like this! He even said he doesn’t like me anymore...sobs..."
Seeing her state, Su Yuluo immediately embraced Lin Ruoxuan, comforting her softly, "Don’t worry, you’re so beautiful, what man in this world wouldn’t like you? You’ll certainly capture Liu Zheng’s heart! I believe in you, Ruoxuan, you’re the best."
Lin Ruoxuan lifted her tearful eyes, sobbing, "Really?"
"Of course!"
Lin Ruoxuan smiled through her tears, "Yes! I will try my hardest, I will definitely capture Mr. Che’s heart!"
Su Yuluo sighed softly. She knew Lin Ruoxuan had agreed to date Liu Zheng because he had been secretly supporting her in the background, and so she was willing to sacrifice herself to fulfill their relationship.
Sadly, the path of love is inevitably filled with hardships and twists, and Liu Zheng just didn’t cherish her.
"Ruoxuan, I think you came back to the country because of Liu Zheng. He is a good man, but unfortunately, he’s a married man, and he has a family. Ruoxuan, why not consider other eligible men, like..."
Lin Ruoxuan’s heart jolted, she knew who Su Yuluo was referring to, yet she didn’t dare to listen.
"Xue’er, let’s not talk about this." Lin Ruoxuan whispered, a flicker of sorrow crossing her eyes, "He’s already married, what am I then? Just a mistress!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Su Yuluo glared at her, "Ruoxuan, in this world, anyone can say Liu Zheng is a mistress, but you are the only one who doesn’t have the right to say that!"
Lin Ruoxuan lowered her gaze, hiding the sadness in her eyes.
She knew all too well that she was nothing but a mistress.
But it was this man, Liu Zheng, whom she had met first, who had made her fall.
Unfortunately...
Lin Ruoxuan gave a bitter smile, thinking to herself that she truly deserved it!
Su Yuluo saw the dimness and sadness in Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes and felt a great deal of heartache. She grasped her hand firmly, saying with a conviction, "Ruoxuan, don’t worry, I will help you. You don’t have to fear them, they will all be on your side! They are not Liu Zheng’s friends, but his enemies, you can boldly pursue him!"
Lin Ruoxuan looked up at her best friend in front of her.
Su Yuluo had a sweet appearance, like the pure and adorable girl next door.
Her eyes were big, her nose bridge high, her skin fair, and her features delicate, a typical beauty.
Su Yuluo had been adored by her parents since childhood, always treated like the apple of their eye.
Her father, Su Jianhua, was an international police chief, and her mother, Fang Fang, a world-renowned musician.
She was extremely talented from a young age. She played the piano exceptionally well and held a highly esteemed position in the field of music.
Lin Ruoxuan had always envied Su Yuluo because her parents were international figures, not to mention the vast wealth, making Su Yuluo truly a child of wealth.
The Su Family had a strict upbringing, and although she grew up with Su Yuluo, she could only look up to her brilliance.
Su Jianhua and Fang Fang were a loving couple, devoted to each other for life.
Although Su Yuluo was their daughter, she was the little princess of the Su Family.
She never missed any kind of social gathering, her status even more esteemed than Su Yuluo, the Su family’s jewel.
But, Lin Ruoxuan knew that she would never be worthy of Liu Zheng.
Lin Ruoxuan had always been a well-behaved and diligent student, and although she liked Liu Zheng very much, she had never thought about being with him.
She just hoped that one day, Liu Zheng would notice her efforts and come to like her, even if it was just a little bit of fondness, she would be content.
However, it seemed that Liu Zheng did not like her, even despised her.
She didn’t understand why this was the case.
Perhaps it was because Liu Zheng already had another woman by his side!
Seeing Lin Ruoxuan in a daze, Su Yuluo patted her shoulder, "Come on, it’s getting late, let’s go to sleep!"
"Yeah!"
"Ruoxuan, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"
Lin Ruoxuan hurriedly declined, "No need, Xue’er. I will stay in a hotel tonight."
"A hotel? Where will you stay? I might as well take you to the hotel. After all, you don’t really have anywhere else to go now."
Lin Ruoxuan hesitated for a moment, finally nodding, "Okay! Thank you, Xue’er."
"What are you being so formal for? We are best sisters!" Su Yuluo linked arms with Lin Ruoxuan, walking out of the door with a bubbly laugh.
"Then let’s go! See you tomorrow!" Su Yuluo waved to Lin Ruoxuan, opened the door, and left the apartment.
...
The next day, Lin Ruoxuan went to work as usual.
Last night, after Liu Zheng drunkenly dropped her off at the hotel, he went back, leaving her to toss and turn alone in the hotel room, struggling to fall asleep.
It wasn’t until after four in the morning that she finally drifted off in a confused daze.
Waking up with a splitting headache, Lin Ruoxuan rubbed her temples, ready to change her clothes, when she heard a knocking sound coming from outside her room.
"Knock knock knock..."
Lin Ruoxuan opened the door with confusion, only to find the woman she hated most standing outside – Liu Zheng’s fiancée, Gu Xiaojun!
Gu Xiaojun wore a flowy pink dress, her long curls falling around her shoulders, her makeup delicate, making her appear even more radiant and pitiful.
"Miss Gu, may I ask who you’re looking for?"
Lin Ruoxuan’s tone was somewhat unfriendly.
"I..." Gu Xiaojun bit her lip, "I’m looking for Brother Zheng; is he here?"
Lin Ruoxuan gave her a cold glance, turned, and went back into the room.
"Ruoxuan, I really have no other choice, please just pass on a message to Brother Che for me!" Gu Xiaojun grabbed Lin Ruoxuan’s arm desperately, "I really love Brother Che, I can’t lose him."
With a cold snort, Lin Ruoxuan shook off her hand, speaking disdainfully, "Love? Ha, Gu Xiaojun, you think too highly of yourself! Do you think you love him? Let me tell you, it’s only because of his money that you would marry him! You don’t love him at all; you’re just coveting his family’s wealth and power!"
Gu Xiaojun was taken aback, "What... what did you say?"
