"Who are you?"
How did she know about my affairs?
Liu Ying's smile froze: "You don't remember me?"
What could be more humiliating than your opponent not even knowing who you are?
Su Yuxi blinked her bright phoenix eyes twice, looking at her as if she were appraising merchandise, scrutinizing her from head to toe several times.
The woman's face held a sinister glint, and every smile concealed a murderous intent; it was clear at a glance that she was no ordinary person.
She pondered to herself that although this woman had been hostile towards her from the moment she entered, she really couldn't recall ever seeing this person before, let alone knowing her.
Seeing that she was really trying to remember and genuinely didn't remember her, Liu Ying's defenses crumbled again.
She gritted her teeth and glared at her angrily: "We met once half a year ago at Brother Huaijin's welcome banquet."
Su Yuxi raised her hand and touched her earlobe, trying to recall memories from six months ago. However, six months was a long time ago, and her attention was entirely on the man that day, so it was normal that she didn't notice the woman.
"oh."
"Heh..." Liu Ying was amused by her nonchalant tone.
She works in the Fu family's secretariat, where she is responsible for a wide range of important and important business. She holds the power to control the lives of most people in this industry. Her name shines like a bright star, dazzling and powerful. Everyone knows her and respects her. Even the company's technical backbone has to treat her with utmost respect.
This is the first time in so long that I've been so ignored; I'm still just a pretty face kept by a man.
very good.
She took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with her about these trivial matters for the time being.
“Miss Su, I’ve heard about what happened to you six months ago. It’s normal for a girl to panic when she encounters something like that, which led you to make the wrong decision.”
"Later I heard that President Lu also clarified things for you, saying that those were just tactics to bring you down."
"Now that the matter is resolved, I wonder when Miss Su plans to return. If you need a way to save face, I can speak to President Lu on your behalf."
"Although I don't know what happened to your face, if you're afraid to go back because of it, I can introduce you to a famous plastic surgeon who can restore your face to its original state and then send you back. What do you think?"
If she could, she wouldn't want to help Su Yuxi with any plastic surgery at all.
But if we don't fix her face, she won't go back, and who knows what uncontrollable things might happen if she stays there too long.
Su Yuxi frowned deeply. She hadn't paid attention to this matter since she came back. Anyway, it had already calmed down, and bringing it up again would only annoy her.
I didn't know that Lu Yunzhou had helped her resolve this matter, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Her face represents the Lu family, and if her reputation is bad, the Lu family will also suffer. It's not a matter of course to resolve it. I just don't know who was plotting against her behind the scenes.
"What's it to you? Mind your own business." We're not even acquainted, yet this guy dares to presumptuously arrange things for her. Who gave him the nerve?
Liu Ying thought she was being very generous. Even though things had just turned unpleasant, she was now lowering her head and showing kindness. But Su Yuxi didn't accept it and even mocked her, which was like throwing her face on the ground and stepping on it.
Her face darkened abruptly, her red lips pressed tightly together, and she clenched her fists, trying to suppress her anger: "Ms. Su, I just think that it's not good for your reputation if you, a woman with a fiancé, get too close to other men. Besides, Mr. Lu has been looking for you lately. In any case, you should go home and say hello to him."
"Oh," Su Yuxi replied in a calm tone that was as infuriating as ever.
She secretly thought this woman was really strange. They didn't even know each other, so why did she have to push her to go back? If she wanted to go back, she would go back on her own. When did it become her place, a stranger, to nag her?
Liu Ying was so angry she was practically fuming: "Ms. Su, can't you speak properly? If you're too embarrassed to tell President Lu, I'm willing to be the middleman and connect you two. What do you say?"
Su Yuxi clicked her tongue inwardly, put down her phone, and thought, "This woman is really relentless, isn't she?"
"I'm talking about this person..."
"My name is Liu Ying, and I work for the Fu Group..."
Su Yuxi raised her hand to interrupt her introduction: "Miss Liu, I don't care who you are. In my eyes, you are just a stranger. My affairs are none of your business. If you are really kind-hearted and want to help others, I suggest you help the children in the orphanage. They need more care."
With a snap, the flower stem that Liu Ying was holding broke off.
...
The quiet and elegant study is filled with exquisite carved wood decorations, fine antiques in the corners, and calligraphy and paintings by famous people on the walls, exuding a strong scholarly and cultural atmosphere.
The old lady sat at the simple and heavy desk, her gaze fixed on her grandson, who sat upright with an expressionless face. Her eyes were filled with deep anxiety and tenderness.
The eldest grandson has been calm and reserved since childhood, and sometimes his behavior is hard to fathom.
She had misjudged Liu Ying's situation, and she couldn't repeat the same mistake this time. She needed to ascertain his true thoughts before taking any action, lest she do more harm than good.
"Xiao Jin, tell Grandma, does that Miss Su outside really... have a fiancé?"
Fu Huaijin paused in his work of stringing beads, his gaze falling on the old lady's face, which was etched with the marks of time yet unusually serious. He wondered why the old lady would ask about Su Yuxi, but after only three seconds of consideration, he answered truthfully, "Yes."
After a few seconds of pause, recalling Su Yuxi's resistant expression when she mentioned Lu Yunzhou, he didn't know why he added, "They're about to break up."
Seeing that he was so eager to reveal his true intentions, almost as if he wanted to spill the beans, Old Madam Fu finally felt relieved.
"Have you investigated who's in her family? Do you think she has any ill intentions towards you? Have you conducted a thorough investigation?"
Fu Huaijin frowned slightly, then relaxed. The reason why the old lady was so nervous and anxious was simply because she was worried about his safety. The people who could stay by his side during the day were all carefully selected. Naturally, they had to be people with clean backgrounds and no threat to him.
But remembering what he had found out about Su Yuxi, he lowered his eyes and chose to keep it a secret.
"Grandma, you don't need to worry about these things, and you shouldn't interfere in her affairs."
Seeing her caregiver's reaction, the old lady felt a complex and subtle mix of emotions. She said very tactfully, "But I heard her lifestyle is rather chaotic..."
"Although what has happened cannot be undone, we still need to make her be more careful in the future."
Fu Huaijin raised his eyes to meet the old lady's hesitant face. This was the first time he had brought Su Yuxi here, and the old lady probably didn't know about Su Yuxi. He recalled Liu Ying's guilty and evasive eyes when he came in... His eyes darkened, and a hint of malice flashed in them.
"No, it's all slander from others. She's fine."
