Chapter 232: Dosed

She knew he hated her. However, who gave them the right to talk like this about her baby? They could humiliate her, but why must they shame her daughter? She was such an obedient child.

“Scram. Don’t make me chase you away. Never show your face in front of us, or else don’t blame me for being rude to you and your daughter. We are very happy now. We don’t need your inclusion. There is no point for you in hanging around.”

Li Manni finished talking and turned around to walk away. When Xia Ruoxin looked up, tears had clouded her eyes. Once again, she had fallen into despair. What else could she do for herself and Rainy?

What more could she do when she couldn’t even see him? How could she fight for her daughter?

The numerous guards stood at the entrance and watched her like a hawk. In their opinion, she might have gone crazy. In reality, she was indeed going crazy.

Hope came; however, it was dashed. Disappointment didn’t even come close to describe how she felt now.

In the CEO office within the building of Chu Enterprise…

Chu Lui’s arms were folded at chest level as he stood by the window. A pitiful, thin silhouette fell in his line of vision. When he wanted to take a clearer look, he realized that the person was nowhere to be found.

Eyes narrowing, he placed a hand over his chest, lightly touching the box in his pocket. He never thought of what he would do if he ever saw that woman named Xia Ruoxin.

In the four years, that woman’s name had become a taboo to him. He still hated her for causing the death of his beloved, Yixuan, four years ago. Time might have passed, but his feelings for her remained the same. He hated her for always lurking in his thoughts, his dreams, and his everyday life.

Unless that woman was dead, he wouldn’t stop hating her.

Sitting on his chair, he began to go through the piles of paperwork on his desk. They were sent by his secretary. Indeed, the company would not survive without him. He was only gone for a few days, and mountains of paperwork had accumulated. If he was gone for a few more days, the load would have crushed him.

He rubbed his brow. Exhaustion that he never had before started to wash over him.

Li Manni entered the CEO’s private elevator. Everyone here knew who she was so she was always treated with respect. She also appreciated the envious look in other’s eyes as well as being more superior to everyone.

First, she made a cup of coffee for Chu Lui, knowing that he needed the perk-me-up especially when he was being so busy now. Also, she would stay close by his side until that woman leaves.

This was a stupid method, but it was also the most effective one.

Once the coffee was brewed, she stirred it with a spoon before she set it down. She took out a packet and emptied the powdered substance into the mug. She stirred again until the powder was completely dissolved in the coffee.

She brought the mug and shook it before she smiled in satisfaction.

When she turned around, she was stunned; and the coffee mug almost fell onto the floor.

She steadied herself quickly and smiled. “Since when were you standing here, Jingtang? Don’t you know how scary it is to scare people? You are going to scare me to death.” She patted her chest as her eyes dodged his.
