Su Rou spoke in a pitiful tone, knowing that Li Xuemei was strong-willed and would not easily back down.
These words will definitely trigger her outburst and help me continue to deal with Su Xi.
"Give in to her? That's impossible." Li Xuemei's eyes flashed with malice. She then took out a packet of powder from her pocket and handed it to her. "Tomorrow you'll go to the banquet with your father. If Su Xi dares to show up, sprinkle this powder into the air and try to lure her there."
"As long as she inhales even a tiny bit of this stuff, no matter how fierce her temper is, she'll have to obediently let you do whatever you want. Then Su Xi's reputation will be ruined, and Mom will find a way to make you a brand ambassador."
“The Lin family must be on the invitation list for this kind of event. Seize this opportunity and win him over. Once you’ve made it a done deal, the Lin family won’t be able to renege on their debt.”
Previously, in order to protect Su Rou's career, Li Xuemei paid attention to Su Rou's image, but now that the Su family has fallen into such a predicament, Su Rou's reputation is ruined, so who would dare to marry her?
The Lin family is Su Rou's only way out.
No matter what means she uses, she is determined to get Su Rou and Lin Ye involved.
"I have a way to force Su Xi to appear, and I'll make her fall for my trap willingly." A wicked glint flashed in Su Rou's eyes. Although she didn't win the title of brand ambassador, she unexpectedly gained access to Su Xi's weakness today.
Lele.
This bastard child, whose origins are unknown, undoubtedly became her best pawn in dealing with Su Xi.
Su Rou confessed her plan, and after Li Xuemei understood the whole story, she took out her phone and looked at the news.
When she saw the photo of Su Xi and Lele together, her face turned very ugly. "Is this bastard really Su Xi's?"
Su Rou shook her head. "The paternity test showed no blood relationship, and Zhou Jingming also issued a statement. I don't know if it's true or not."
Li Xuemei looked at the photo a few more times and became increasingly suspicious. "It looks so much like him, it's just too similar."
For some reason, every time Su Rou looked at Lele, she felt extremely uneasy.
After leaving the orphanage, she completely let loose and slept with eighteen male models in one night.
She became pregnant unexpectedly after that.
Because of her irregular periods, she didn't notice anything unusual until she was almost five months pregnant and went to the hospital for a checkup, only then did she realize she was pregnant.
She wanted to have the abortion, but the doctor said that her uterine wall was thin and that a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure would be very risky and could make it difficult for her to conceive in the future.
She had no choice but to keep the child.
Fortunately, she was slim, and no one noticed that she was pregnant.
When she was a little over seven months pregnant, she had some health problems that caused her baby to be born prematurely. She went to a private hospital to give birth, but the baby died shortly after birth.
She bribed the hospital nurses to keep the secret and even got them to help her get rid of the child.
She had almost forgotten about it, but seeing Lele today brought back those memories, and Su Rou felt a chill run down her spine.
"What are you thinking about? You look so pale." Li Xuemei gently pushed her.
Su Rou regained her senses, her heart pounding with panic. "No, it's nothing."
No one knew about this except her and the nurse, and Su Rou didn't plan to tell Li Xuemei.
"Then let's do as you say. Tomorrow we must be absolutely certain that everything will go smoothly. Whether the Su Group can be revived depends entirely on you." Li Xuemei also wanted to attend the banquet, to make more contact with celebrities and socialites, and to build connections.
However, after being brutally beaten by Su Jianguo, this body is still sore all over, and it is difficult for him to even step out of the house, let alone attend a banquet.
Su Rou clenched the powder in her hand, a cold glint in her eyes.
Like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, she smiled sinisterly, "This time, I will definitely not fail."
...
After Su Xi finished showering, her phone beeped several times with message notifications.
She picked it up and saw it was a voice message from Lele.
She installed a mini microphone inside the toy, so that her phone would receive messages whenever Lele spoke.
"Sister Xi'er, Lele has already taken a bath."
'Sister Xi'er, Lele misses you so much.'
'Sister Xi'er, what are you doing?'
'……'
A childish voice kept coming out as Su Xi sat on the sofa drying her hair, replying to voice messages with her other hand.
"Sister Xi'er just finished her bath too. Lele needs to go to bed early so she can grow strong and healthy."
'Sweetie, your sister Xi'er will miss you too.'
The little guy should be holding the doll and recover quickly.
Goodnight, Sister Xi'er.
Su Xi also said goodnight, put down her phone, and looked out the window.
That night, Su Xi felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Zhou Jingming didn't come back either. She lay on the bed alone, tossing and turning, until she finally drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning.
Once I enter a dream, I am filled with all sorts of unease.
She dreamt that she went to the orphanage, and Lele, unusually, stopped calling her Sister Xi'er and instead chased after her calling her Mom.
Lin also came over, holding a paternity test result, and told her that there was a problem with the sample, and that she and Lele were mother and daughter.
The child's father turned out to be Zhou Jingming.
Su Xi didn't know why she had such a dream, and she still felt it was absurd when she woke up the next day.
She and Zhou Jingming had been mortal enemies for over a decade, keeping to themselves and never interfering with each other. How could she possibly have had a child with him before?
Having not slept well all night, Su Xi felt dizzy and disoriented.
After getting ready and going downstairs, I bumped right into Zhou Jingming, who was returning from outside.
"Going out?"
"You're back?"
The two spoke in unison.
Su Xi shrugged. "I have a scene to film today, so I have to go to work."
Upon closer inspection, Su Xi noticed that Zhou Jingming was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday. As Su Xi approached, she noticed no smell of smoke or alcohol, nor any woman's perfume.
If this man didn't go out partying last night, what did he do?
"Smell what?" Zhou Jingming put his arm around her waist and chuckled in a low voice.
Su Xi blinked and licked her lips seductively, "Let's see which vixen you were entangled with last night, and whether you still smell of sex."
"Really?" The man stared into her eyes.
Su Xi hooked her arm around his collar, "You have such a masculine aura, I like it."
"I suddenly have a daughter, what woman would dare to come near me? Xi'er, you have to take responsibility for me." The man moved closer to her handsome face, his warm and mellow masculine scent arrogantly washing over her.
The silent teasing made Su Xi's body go weak. "How do you want to take responsibility?"
What do you think?
His lips pressed against mine, landing a light but firm kiss.
The soft touch and the faint scent of peaches were the irresistible temptation he couldn't forget.
Su Xi felt her breath catch in her throat and couldn't help but murmur, "She's a goddaughter, not a biological daughter. Besides, those women are after you, they won't care about this kind of thing."
"If it were you, would you care?" Zhou Jingming's nose touched hers, his large, warm hand resting on her waist. Wisps of heat seeped into her skin, and Su Xi couldn't help but tremble from the heat.
They had been together for a while and knew each other's sensitive spots. He was also very charming and could easily make her fall for him.
But she remained rational and never crossed the line.
In the adult world, it's all about physical entanglements and enjoying the pleasures of love.
Physical infatuation can be broken at any time, but mental infatuation is fatal.
Su Xi kissed him first, her eyes hazy and watery, then chuckled softly, "It's alright, having another goddaughter is good, she'll keep Lele company."
