Chapter 955 - Luo Xiaoxi's Disdain (1)

Xiao Yunyun raised her hand and said, “I have a question.”

“Say it,” Shen Yuechuan said.

Xiao Yunyun’s bright almond-shaped eyes blinked and she said, “If Boss Mu really made up his mind to kill Youning, why didn’t he do it when he found out that Youning aborted their child? He even let Youning go back. Is he purposely trying to create trouble?”

Before Shen Yuechuan answered, Xiao Yunyun continued to complain, “Who said that only women’s hearts are a deep ocean of secrets? Men’s hearts are complex too.”

Shen Yuechuan felt offended and tried his best to defend men. He said, “You don’t understand. That was the chance Mu Qi gave to Xu Youning.”

Xiao Yunyun was not convinced. She tilted her head and said, “Why did he give Youning another chance since he has made up his mind?”

Shen Yuechuan rubbed his temples and said, “Yunyun, are you challenging me to tell you that Mu Qi couldn’t bear to kill Xu Youning on the day she had the abortion?”

Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and said with certainty, “Since Boss Mu couldn’t kill Youning that day, he definitely won’t do it today!”

Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, “Are you sure?”

Xiao Yunyun snorted and said, “I’ve already seen through Boss Mu’s tricks!”

Shen Yuechuan’s eyes turned cold. He suddenly flipped Xiao Yunyun over on the bed and tickled her waist with both his hands, saying, “You’ve seen through Mu Qi? How long have you had your eye on him, huh?”

“I…”

After saying only one word, Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help laughing. In the end, they romped with each other on the bed.

However, Xiao Yunyun remembered that Shen Yuechuan had just received the treatment.

She stopped Shen Yuechuan and forced him to sleep.

Shen Yuechuan was indeed exhausted. He rubbed Xiao Yunyun’s head, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

After thinking over it for a while, Xiao Yunyun didn’t know what to do. So she just stayed and accompanied Shen Yuechuan.

At this time, even if she could just feel Shen Yuechuan’s body temperature, she was still happy.

As for the matter between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning, it seemed that only they themselves had the right to decide what to do.

So, just let them be.

In the afternoon, at Dingya Villas.

Lu Boyan returned home at 5:45 p.m., which surprised Su Jian’an.

During this period, Lu Boyan had been very busy. Not to mention that he was home before six o’clock, as long as he could come back before nightfall, Su Jian’an would be very happy.

“What was going on today?”

Lu Boyan said, “There’s a charity dinner tonight. I want you to attend it with me.”

Su Jian’an’s was even more surprised. She asked, “Why so sudden?”

After all, Lu Boyan was the top decision-maker of Lu Enterprises. He had to attend banquets and cocktail parties. As his wife, Su Jian’an needed to accompany him as Mrs. Lu.

Usually, if he had to attend a banquet, Lu Boyan would tell Su Jian’an two days in advance so that Su Jian’an could have enough time to prepare.

This was the first time that he asked her to attend a party with such short notice.

In addition to this surprise, Su Jian’an had a sense of foreboding.

She felt that something bad was about to happen.

Lu Boyan explained, “I didn’t plan to attend this charity dinner initially, so I didn’t tell you.”

Su Jian’an asked curiously, “Then what happened? Why do you have to go now?”

Lu Boyan rubbed his temples as if he had a headache and answered, “Kang Ruicheng was also invited. Mu Qi saw his name on the guest list and asked someone to send him an invitation letter. He told me that he would attend the dinner.”

“I see,” Su Jian’an suddenly understood, “you’re going to back Sijue up!”

The phrase “back up” was not usually used by Su Jian’an. Therefore, Lu Boyan felt strange when he heard that. He looked at Su Jian’an without speaking.

Su Jian’an smiled casually and responded, “Don’t forget my major. I’ve dealt with a lot of people. Although I didn’t have to face criminals directly, I’ve seen too many ruffians and hooligans. They like to use it.”

Lu Boyan asked a question that he really wanted to know, “So, what kind of criminal is Kang Ruicheng in your eyes?”

Su Jian’an replied without hesitation, “He should be shot immediately!”

Lu Boyan smiled and said, “Go and get changed.”

Su Jian’an chose a long white dress and put on light makeup. Then she did her hair simply and put on a beige cashmere coat. The outfit made her look gentle, just like a white swan on the lake in spring—elegant and outstanding.

Lu Boyan wore his usual dark suit, which emphasized his perfect figure. Su Jian’an felt that this handsome and tall guy was seducing her with each step he took.

“He’s really… a temptation.”

Lu Boyan looked at his watch and motioned for Su Jian’an to hold his hand. “It’s getting late. Let’s go,” he said.

“Okay.”

Su Jian’an held Lu Boyan’s arm and went downstairs with him.

The host of today’s charity dinner was a famous philanthropist in City A who had a renowned reputation. As soon as the invitation letters were sent, more than half of the businessmen in City A accepted his invitation.

Lu Boyan’s appearance greatly surprised everyone.

It was widely known that since Lu Boyan had his twins, he focused more on his family and spent almost all his time at home after work. He rarely attended banquets and parties now.

Therefore, when others saw Lu Boyan tonight, they all said that Mr. and Mrs. Lu were really philanthropical.

While dealing with the people who came up to talk with him, Lu Boyan was also looking out for Mu Sijue in the venue.

But before Mu Sijue arrived, Kang Ruicheng appeared first.

Everyone in the financial circle of City A knew that Kang Ruicheng was a professional manager hired by the Su Group.

In other people’s eyes, under the leadership of Kang Ruicheng, the Su Group had been brought back from the brink of death and was on the right track again, as it regained its former glory.

However, no one knew why Kang Ruicheng did such a major revamp of the members of the Su Group.

Also, no one could figure out Kang Ruicheng’s background.

But Kang Ruicheng had outstanding capabilities. No one dared to offend him and everyone regarded him as a god.

Except for Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, no one knew how the Su Group rose again, let alone the shady deals that Kang Ruicheng used the Su Group to do.

“Mr. Kang, didn’t you bring a female companion today?” someone asked.

After becoming the CEO of the Su Group, Kang Ruicheng had to attend these occasions frequently. Every time, he would bring a female companion. But he always had a different girl each time.

Men would understand this, so they were not surprised.

But this time, there was no woman beside Kang Ruicheng, which made everyone very curious.

Kang Ruicheng looked at his watch and motioned for everyone to look out, saying, “My female companion should be here soon.”

Everyone’s curiosity was totally aroused and they kept a sharp lookout.

Su Jian’an had a bad feeling. She pulled Lu Boyan’s sleeve and said, “Boyan, could his female companion be Youning?”

“Probably not,” Lu Boyan answered.

Kang Ruicheng should have known that the host had invited Mu Sijue. According to Kang Ruicheng’s style, it was unlikely that he would bring Xu Youning with him.

The reason was very simple: as Xu Youning finally went back, Kang Ruicheng would never allow her to appear in front of Mu Sijue again.

At this time, a tall sexy figure appeared at the door of the banquet hall. A woman made her way gracefully toward Kang Ruicheng.

When they saw the woman’s face clearly, everyone in the hall was surprised.

“Wow, is that Han Ruoxi?”

“It’s really Han Ruoxi, the woman who was caught doing drugs and was just released!”

“Gee, Lu Boyan didn’t take Han Ruoxi’s bait and now she’s targetting Kang Ruicheng?”

Han Ruoxi’s appearance was beyond Su Jian’an’s expectation.

She had just met Han Ruoxi in the supermarket a few days ago. The quarrel between them had been a hot topic on the gossip website.

In just these few days, Han Ruoxi seemed to regain her vitality—she had returned to being the old Han Ruoxi.

After all, she used to be an international superstar. When she dressed well and makeup on, she managed to regain the aura of confidence that she had from before.

Today, Han Ruoxi was all dressed up. The makeup on her face was flawless. There was a condescending attitude in her eyes, and each of her steps exuded arrogance.

All of a sudden, everyone felt that Han Ruoxi was still that brilliant international superstar: she didn’t have any scandals, nor was she someone who had undergone rehabilitation—she was still a famous and proud woman.

But in reality, wherever Han Ruoxi appeared, there were no longer any groups of entertainment journalists.

Her confidence and pride were all deliberately created by herself.

However, it did not mean Han Ruoxi did not become a hot topic.

Kang Ruicheng held Han Ruoxi’s waist and introduced her to everyone, “Miss Han, my companion.”

Han Ruoxi nodded and smiled, greeting everyone graciously.

There were journalists in the hall. When they found Han Ruoxi, they immediately came over and asked Han Ruoxi about her comeback.

Han Ruoxi held Kang Ruicheng’s arm and did not answer any of their questions directly. With a smile on her face, she spoke flawlessly, leaving no chance for anyone to find fault with her.

Just as the journalists were about to leave, Kang Ruicheng suddenly said, “I will set up a personal studio for Ruoxi.”

Hearing that, the journalists came back immediately and asked, “Mr. Kang, the Su Group does not dabble in the entertainment industry. Are you setting up this studio in the name of the company or yourself?”

“Myself,” Kang Ruicheng replied.

Sensing gossip, the journalists asked more questions.

“Miss Han, judging from Mr. Kang’s words, do you really plan to stage a comeback?”

Han Ruoxi ruffled her hair and answered, “Since Mr. Kang has made it public, I have nothing to hide. Yes, I’ll make a come back soon.”

A journalist hurriedly asked, “After you come back, will you focus more on TV shows or movies?”

Han Ruoxi replied smilingly, “I won’t act for the time being. My focus will be on charity and public benefit activities. I once made a big mistake and I really want to make amends for the past.”
