Song Yunxuan's thin shoulders were pinched painfully.
Her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. She looked at him with her eyes full of confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chu Mochen's face was covered with a layer of coldness. He stared at her with his cold thin lips, but he didn't say a word.
Song Yunxuan was hurt. She raised her hand to support his chest, "You are hurting me …"
Chu Mochen's thin lips were pressed into a line. Even if she said it was painful, he still didn't relax his strength.
Song Yunxuan's eyes were a little wet. Her eyes were blank and confused, "You pinched my shoulders so painful. Did I make you unhappy?"
Chu Mochen just wanted to crush her bones like this.
She not only made him unhappy, but also made him hate her.
Why did she go to meet the elder of Xiao Family?
Didn't she know that Lu Xia had been thinking about her?
Didn't she know that as soon as she met the elder of Xiao Family, she might be taken away from him?
Chu Mochen's fingers were tight. Song Yunxuan looked at him sadly. Because of the pain in her shoulders, her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted.
When she showed weakness, she was like a lonely little beast. Even if people remembered that she used to hurt people sharply, they still couldn't help but pity her.
The look in Chu Mochen's eyes changed, but her painful look was reflected in his eyes.
The silence lasted for a long time. Just when Song Yunxuan was about to struggle to push him away.
Chu Mochen suddenly held her firmly in his arms.
It was so sudden that she opened her eyes in surprise and couldn't respond immediately.
Chu Mochen held her delicate body firmly. The broad arms were warm and almost melted her into his body.
He didn't say a word. The strength of holding her in his arms was enough to let Song Yunxuan understand everything.
Chu Mochen … couldn't give her up.
She was held in his arms. Her eyes looked at the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The blank and pitiful eyes just now had disappeared. Instead, they were as clear and cold as the stars in the sky.
This trip to Harbor City was full of twists and turns and dangers.
But it was time to put an end to it.
While she was thinking about it, Chu Mochen's lips were printed on her hair.
The thin lips began to be stained with hot temperature. Inch by inch, they were buried in her delicate neck.
She bit her lips and suppressed a low moan.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
It was dark outside the window. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring light and was pressed down on the soft sofa.
His kiss was hot and domineering. She couldn't help but frown.
However, when he placed his hand on the back of her waist and caressed her back bit by bit, she felt her stomach churn.
"Blergh …"
He couldn't help but retch.
She pushed him away and rushed to the bathroom from the sofa.
Chu Mochen doesn't chase after her. The collar of his shirt has been untied, revealing his wheat-colored skin messily. His strong and sexy skin texture is revealed.
The tail of his hair was slightly raised, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where Song Yunxuan disappeared.
It was as if he was talking to himself or someone else.
His lips parted slightly as he spat out three words, "I don't believe it."
Yes, he didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Song Yunxuan's reaction was just a stomach disease.
…
The night was dark.
The only sound in the hospital was the nurse walking softly down the corridor.
There was one more person in Xiao Jiancheng's ward.
The white assistant held the handle of the gilded door and gently closed the door.
Lu Xia, who wore a small red skirt and a white fur coat, walked towards Xiao Jiancheng on the sickbed.
The old butler of Xiao Family stood aside silently, and the freshly ground coffee had been prepared beside the sofa.
Lu Xia's red lips were slightly raised, and a modest and generous smile appeared. "I'm sorry to disturb Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Jiancheng half leaned on the sickbed, smiled, and was a little tired. "Don't mention it. Thanks to you, Xia, for taking care of A Luo for me during my coma."
Lu Xia sat on the sofa and gently crossed her legs. She came straight to the point. She was not polite. "I heard that Little Childe Xiao came to see you today."
"Yes."
Xiao Jiancheng answered. Lu Xia still had a smile on her face.
The strong aroma of coffee next to her dissipated. She still wore gloves on her hands.
The white gloves made of high-grade velvet covered her two lost fingers.
But Xiao Jiancheng's eyes still couldn't help falling on her right hand.
The grievances between the Xiao Family and the Lu Family were not formed overnight. Therefore, even if the two families wanted to bury the hatchet, it could not be achieved with just a word.
Xiao Jiancheng was not the kind of person who forgot the pain after the scar healed.
Lu Xia could go against the wind in the Lu Family and seize the power, so she was definitely not a forgetful person.
His old eyes looked at Lu Xia, and his eyes swept over her fingers.
"Xia …"
"Uncle, if you trust me, you can call me A Xia." Lu Xia raised her hand and picked up the coffee cup next to her. The smile on her red lips was capable and beautiful. "My family used to call me like this."
As soon as Lu Xia's words came out, Xiao Jiancheng over there was stunned.
Lu Xia actually had no relatives. The people in the upper class of Harbor City all knew that Lu Xia was an orphan. When she was young, she was chosen by the head of the Lu Family and the young master of the Lu Family and was adopted from the orphanage.
But at that time, the rumor spread widely. Many people said that the young master of the Lu Family was sad because a shepherd dog died, so he went to the orphanage and asked his parents to adopt an orphan for him.
Therefore, at that time, the existence of Lu Xia in the Lu Family was just a replacement for the dead shepherd dog.
Everyone said that Lu Xia was adopted to the Lu Family as a dog.
However, those who said these words at that time would never expect that more than 20 years later, it would be this orphan who stood in power in the Lu Family.
Lu Xia was adopted to the Lu Family, and she had no dark thoughts in her heart.
She treated her young master loyally and regarded the couple of the Lu Family as her second parents.
Therefore, after the poor young master of the Lu Family died, Lu Xia worked hard for the Lu Family at all costs.
Now, the head of the Lu Family had settled abroad and didn't care about the family affairs.
The huge Lu Family was controlled by Lu Xia alone.
And it was easy for Lu Xia to deal with the grievances of the four big families in Harbor City.
Since a long time ago, she had planned to cooperate with the gradually declining Xiao Family.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang refused to form an alliance with her.
Among the four big families in Harbor City, each family was closely related. If one family was isolated, then the balance would be broken.
After Xiao Xuan died, the Xiao Family suffered a great loss, but Xiao Xuan's two younger brothers then replaced Xiao Xuan.
But they wanted to cooperate with the Huo Family to destroy her Lu Family.
Lu Xia could almost predict that after the death of Xiao Xuan's son, the brothers in power and the Huo Family would immediately target her.
Therefore, when she chose a side, she put all her eggs in one basket and chose this little young master who seemed to have little chance of survival.
"Uncle, from the day I was willing to help Xiao Luo, you should trust me." She took a sip of coffee and looked up at Xiao Jiancheng.
There was hesitation in Xiao Jiancheng's eyes.
But Lu Xia raised her hand and let him see her right hand.
That hand was wearing a glove, and all five fingers were there.
But after taking off the glove, it would be found that Lu Xia's right hand only had three fingers.
The other two fingers were lost in the last confrontation between the Xiao Family and the Lu Family.
"Uncle, Xiao Xuan has died. Let's let bygones be bygones. Now, I just want the Lu Family and the Xiao Family to form an alliance happily."
Xiao Jiancheng nodded. "That child … You have already found him for our Xiao Family."
Her words were a little abrupt, but everyone present could understand what she meant in an instant.
Lu Xia's smile rose a little. "Do we need to do a paternity test?"
Xiao Jiancheng shook his head. "The child's eyes are exactly the same as Shao Xuan's."
The old man's eyes were a little moist, and there was a bitter smile on his face. "I can't imagine that I can see that child in my lifetime."
"Uncle, I am a member of the Lu Family. I can't support Little Young Master directly, but she can."
Xiao Jiancheng looked at Lu Xia. The smile on his face disappeared gradually, and there was deep thought in his eyes.
Lu Xia was right. Even if he and Lu Xia had formed an alliance in private, he was seriously ill now. Basically, the Xiao Family was managed by his two sons.
His two sons had always opposed to cooperating with the Lu Family.
Since Xiao Xuan's death, the outside world had always thought that the Lu Family and the Xiao Family were incompatible.
How could Lu Xia help Xiao Luo gain a foothold in the Xiao Family directly?
"Xiao Luo is the legitimate heir. As long as there is enough evidence to prove that Song Yunxuan is the granddaughter of the Xiao Family, you can let Song Yunxuan return to the Xiao Family."
"After all, she is just a granddaughter." Xiao Jiancheng sighed. There was a little doubt in his voice and a little regret.
After all, it was difficult for a girl to achieve great things.
He had been in the business circle of Harbor City for so many years, but he had only seen two women who could dominate a region.
One was Gu Changge in Yuncheng.
And the other was Lu Xia in front of him.
Gu Changge's father, Gu Cheng, had been teaching and cultivating her since she was a child.
Lu Xia was smart by nature, and the head of the Lu Family was not an ordinary person.
And Song Yunxuan …
"I heard," he withdrew his gaze and recalled the information of Song Yunxuan's life that the housekeeper had read to him during the day. "The child grew up in a small town and was recently taken to the Song Family. Song Yan died not long ago."
Lu Xia did not deny it. "Yes."
Xiao Jiancheng's turbid eyes narrowed. "Although she is a beautiful girl and also the blood of our Xiao Family, it is natural for her to return to the Xiao Family. But …"
The Old Master deliberately stopped himself from speaking.
Lu Xia raised her eyes slightly and looked at the elder's expression. "Uncle, what are you worried about?"
Xiao Jiancheng sighed deeply. "I am worried about the child's safety."
Xiao Jiancheng said this with great seriousness.
Lu Xia's eyes slightly darkened. She knew that the elder was not only worried about the child's safety, but also worried that the child could not turn the tide in the internal strife of the Xiao Family.
The eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, who was born in a remote town, had spent half a year in the Song Family. But if she was put in Harbor City, she might not be able to play any role.
The elder had a plan in his mind. Even if he didn't say it directly, people like Lu Xia, who could see it clearly, could understand his doubts.
Lu Xia got up and reached out to her white assistant.
The assistant immediately took out a beautiful gilded invitation card from her arms.
There were gilded flowers and elegant handwriting on the invitation card.
