Chapter 153 Make her disappear forever
Chu Qingxue learned from Yuan Pei that Lu Junyan's grandfather had suffered a sudden heart attack and was hospitalized.
Lu Junyan never took the initiative to contact her.
She could understand that.
Since Lu Lifeng has never liked her, it's reasonable and logical for him not to tell her, which is also in line with Lu Junyan's consistent style of doing things.
“Junyan, I know you're doing this for my sake, but since Yuan Pei has told me about this, I can't pretend I don't know…”
Chu Qingxue stood in front of Lu Junyan's desk and handed him a bag.
“I know Grandpa doesn’t want to see me, but I still want to do something for him… This isn’t anything valuable, but I hope you can help me pass it on to Grandpa.”
Lu Junyan took the bag from Chu Qingxue's hand.
The bag is made of paper and looks quite high-end, but it doesn't have a specific logo printed on it.
Lu Junyan opened the paper bag and took out the contents.
For so many years, Chu Qingxue has been trying to gain Lu Lifeng's approval.
But the more she tried to please Lu Lifeng, the less he liked her.
Lu Junyan had originally planned to return the gift Chu Qingxue gave him if it was a priceless luxury item.
Because Lu Lifeng wouldn't accept it, nor would he like it.
Looking at the warm, thick scarf in his hands, Lu Junyan's deepest memories were awakened.
"You knitted this yourself?"
Hearing Lu Junyan ask her this, Chu Qingxue smiled shyly and nodded.
"Um……"
She knew that Lu Junyan would definitely remember.
Back in high school, she learned to knit scarves for Lu Junyan, and the first scarf she ever knitted was a gift for him.
Actually, she didn't knit that scarf very well; from the choice of yarn to the stitches, it was all a mess.
However, Lu Junyan liked it very much.
Throughout the entire winter, Lu Junyan never changed his scarf; it was always the one she had given him.
Chu Qingxue was deeply moved at the time.
She originally intended to move Lu Junyan by giving him the scarf she had knitted herself, but the result turned out the opposite.
After so many years, she gave Lu Lifeng a scarf she had knitted herself. On the surface, it was for Lu Lifeng, but in reality, Chu Qingxue wanted to awaken Lu Junyan's memories.
To awaken his love for her from the past.
"I wonder if my cooking skills have improved..."
Chu Qingxue lowered her head shyly.
"A lot of progress... so much better than the one they gave me in high school."
Lu Junyan spoke the truth.
Chu Qingxue's eyes immediately lit up.
She was pretending to be surprised.
"Really?" Chu Qingxue blinked her big, watery eyes, her gaze towards Lu Junyan filled with surprise.
"Then... do you still have the scarf I gave you back then?"
Chu Qingxue asked hesitantly.
Lu Junyan remained silent for longer than Chu Qingxue had anticipated.
Finally, she heard Lu Junyan say "hmm".
Chu Qingxue blushed and said shyly, "Why would you keep something that's worthless and childish?"
"I've never thrown away anything you gave me."
Lu Junyan said this casually.
Chu Qingxue was overjoyed.
Her idea of using a scarf to evoke Lu Junyan's memories and emotions seems to have succeeded.
However, just as Chu Qingxue's heart was overflowing with secret joy, she heard Lu Junyan softly add:
“I can’t bear to throw away anything that Achu gave me.”
Chu Qingxue's pouty lips, which had been smiling, instantly froze. She desperately tried to control the expression on her face, suppressing her dissatisfaction, guilt, and unease.
She is Achu—
This is the one thing that Lu Junyan must not suspect.
At noon, Lu Junyan took Chu Qingxue out to a rather stylish restaurant for lunch, and they were even seen by employees of the Lu Group.
In the past, Chu Qingxue really enjoyed being seen with Lu Junyan. The more high-profile they were, the more people would see them, the more she wanted to be.
However, even though she still seems as close to Lu Junyan as before, the gazes of others no longer make her feel proud or triumphant.
Now, everyone knows that Lu Junyan is married.
She is not my wife.
No matter how much she resembles Lu Junyan's other half, the only wife Lu Junyan is officially recognized by the Lu family as is Jiang Ning.
The more intimately she appears next to Lu Junyan, the more it confirms her status as a mistress.
However, Chu Qingxue did not want to refuse to have lunch with Lu Junyan.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lu Junyan took the initiative to speak.
Chu Qingxue smiled but didn't say anything.
Before administering the drug, she would definitely take the opportunity to complain to Lu Junyan and subtly probe his intentions about when he would divorce Jiang Ning.
However, even though Lu Junyan dispelled his suspicions after she was drugged, she could still sense that he was not as attentive to her as before.
Chu Qingxue knew Lu Junyan to some extent.
If she were to complain and play the victim at this point, press Lu Junyan to tell her when he would divorce Jiang Ning and give her a proper status, it would only provoke Lu Junyan's resentment and push him further away.
After finishing his meal, Lu Junyan returned to the company because he still had work to do.
Chu Qingxue drove back to her studio. After driving a long distance away from the Lu Group, she slowly parked the car on the side of the road.
Chu Qingxue was on the phone.
"How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
"Preparations are proceeding step by step..."
The voice coming from the receiver was the Joker's.
Seeing that Joker seemed to be talking very casually, Chu Qingxue's expression turned cold.
“Junyan doesn’t treat me the same way he used to. If you still want the shares in the Lu Group, you’ll have to help me wholeheartedly. This is a golden opportunity. If you succeed, Junyan will be devoted to me. As for Jiang Ning…”
The viciousness in Chu Qingxue's eyes was like a cold knife.
"I want her to disappear forever!"
Chu Qingxue was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, and she spoke through gritted teeth.
On the other end of the phone, Joker couldn't help but chuckle.
"why are you laughing?"
Chu Qingxue was dissatisfied.
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel it's ridiculous that you, who are clearly Lu Junyan's first love and white moonlight, can't even compete with a haggard old woman without my help."
Joker's voice and tone always sound childlike and innocent.
Just like the Joker's face, it's impossible to guess his actual age.
However, Chu Qingxue knew very well that these were all illusions.
She witnessed firsthand how cruel Joker was back in the US.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Did someone touch a sore spot?"
Chu Qingxue fell silent again.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Joker's voice came through again.
"Alright, I should be able to start working at CelestiMed next week. Wait for my good news then."
Joker hung up the phone, and Chu Qingxue took a deep breath.
Only Joker's last words could be considered a reassurance for her.
In the past few days, Jiang Ning has been working in Lu Lifeng's ward, and she is very efficient. The jewelry set she designed for Fu Xinyue's wedding is about to be completed.
These past few days, Lu Junyan has been acting out of character and hasn't come to the hospital.
