Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 884

Chapter 884: Hello, Mr. Chu, Long Time No See

“Brother Lui, Auntie will be going for a check-up tomorrow. Remember to come back.” The gentle voice sounded from behind with a girl’s whine and a tinge of a mature woman’s feeling.

The area between a mature woman and a young girl seemed to be mysterious enough for men to peep at.

Xia Ruoxin held the glass even tighter. She placed the glass by her lips, and the taste of the fresh fruits slid down her throat; however, she had a painful feeling.

It was a familiar pain with a slight blood scent. It was a pain as if her skin was ripped apart.

She could never forget this for the rest of her life.

“I know.” This man’s voice was still very familiar. She drank another mouthful and let the burning sensation in her throat continue.

Remember this pain. Who gave it to you? Who made you starve? Who humiliated you? Who disfigured your face? Who broke your legs? Who caused your looks to change completely? Who made you lose your daughter? Who used you?

Him, her… and her.

She remembered everything.

“You’re here.” Chu Lui said lightly as he turned around and saw Lu Jinrong.

“You’re here, too.” Lu Jinrong held up his glass and tried to have a toast with Chu Lui, but he remembered that he was holding fruit juice—not wine.

It seemed a bit awkward for a man to use this.

“My stomach has been upset recently. I can’t help it.” He smiled and placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders. “Oh, yes, let me introduce her to you.

“This is my sister that my family has hidden for twenty-five years. My parents finally let her out as they said that even the smallest of birds had to spread their wings and learn how to fly.” When he said this, he had a feeling of seeing his child grow up.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and met with the two people’s faces. She smiled, but there was nothing inside her misty eyes. Her lips also curved up slightly. With her current look—even if Shen Yijun came, she would not have recognized that she was once her daughter.

The man in front of her was still as prideful as the past. If there was something that changed within half a year, it was this man’s vibe. It became even more sinister and colder.

As for Xia Yixuan who was standing beside him—no matter how pretty she made herself to be, she still could not hide that ugly and evil heart of hers.

“Hello, I’m Lu Xiaohua.” She generously extended her hand. Her slightly hoarse voice had some mesmerizing factor in it, just like her eyes that were blurred in the mist and looked watery but clean. When Chu Lui was about to shake her hand, she retracted it and continued to look for other food to eat.

Just like a spoiled child. Of course, she really did not like Chu Lui.

Chu Lui nonchalantly retracted his hand and put it in his pocket.

“Your sister has a pretty big temper.”

“Sort of, hehe…” Lu Jinrong laughed. “She has been spoiled at home.” His gaze landed on Xia Yixuan. Oh, Xia household’s precious girl. She came back after dying for four years. Unwittingly, he started to think of the woman who Chu Lui treated like an item. He seemed to have remembered her face.

As for Xia Yixuan, she did not like Lu Xiaohua at all. That woman was prettier than her, younger than her, and was from a wealthier family. It seemed like she would never like her.

Now, no matter in what aspect, Xia Yixuan could not compare to Xia Ruoxin—no, the current Lu Xiaohua.

The Xia household and the Lu family could not be compared at all. There were no points of comparison; the same went for Xia Yixuan and Lu Xiaohua. If the actual Lu Xiaohua was still around, Xia Yixuan—with her family background—would have been kicked to the side.

Xia Ruoxin endured the hatred she had for both of them and told herself that there was a long way to go. Yes, there were many days ahead, and she had a lot of time.

She turned around, took a glass of warm milk, and walked over. She placed it in front of Lu Jinrong. “Mom told you to drink more of this.”

Lu Jinrong really had no love for milk, but he knew that his stomach was in a bad condition so he could only take the glass, lean against the rack, and drink it one mouthful at a time.

Chu Lui squinted his eyes, and they had never left Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin looked up and smiled at him. “May I know what Mr. Chu is looking at?”

“Nothing.” Chu Lui finally moved his gaze and placed the glass on his lips. When the alcohol entered his throat, it was as spicy as ever. “I just feel that I have met you before, Ms. Lu.”

“Mr. Chu, you really know how to joke.” Xia Ruoxin secretly held her fingers tightly, and her downcast eyes were hiding too many emotions in them. “I heard my brother say that CEO Chu had divorced twice, and you’re preparing to marry the third time. It’s this lady here, right?”

Her gaze landed on Xia Yixuan with a seemingly smiling expression, which made Xia Yixuan’s hair stand on end for some reason. Subconsciously, she inched closer to Chu Lui. She hated this Missy from the Lu family, and she was afraid of course. However, she did not know why she was afraid.

“Ms. Lu, you do know quite a bit.” Chu Lui’s thin lips separated, and the words he spat out were cold.

Xia Ruoxin smiled innocently. “I just heard all of this from my brother. Besides, the business magazines have reported on this every day; and I will flip it sometimes. However, I’m pretty curious. The older sister is not around so you’ll continue with the younger one. It seems like CEO Chu is pretty devoted to the women in the Xia household.”

For some reason, those two words ‘older sister’ sent a chill down Xia Yixuan’s spine instinctively. At this point, the Missy of the Lu family in front of her actually made her blood curdle.

She had not had a nightmare in a very long time, but the woman in front of her made her feel that she would get one. She held Chu Lui’s arm tightly. People were very weird sometimes.

They could not be afraid of people, harm people, and even kill people.

However, they were scared of ghosts and scared of that bit of similarity.

Lu Jinrong ruffled Xia Ruoxin’s head. “Little girls are nosier. Please don’t mind her.”

Chu Lui’s gaze landed on Xia Ruoxin once again. Actually, he really wanted to know where this familiarity came from and why Lu Xiaohua disliked him.

“Brother Lui, I’m feeling a little unwell. Let’s go first.”

Xia Yixuan clutched Chu Lui’s arm tightly and had almost dragged him away.

Chu Lui nodded towards Lu Jinrong. “Sorry, we’ll leave first.”

“Take care.” Lu Jinrong extended his hand to signal for him to go ahead before he put down the glass in his hands. Then, he saw Xia Ruoxin leaning against the cupboard and her fingers tapping the glass from time to time as if she was thinking of something.

“Xiaohua…”

He called.
