"I heard the Leng Family is all over the place now, and I really can’t figure out what Leng Junxuan sees in Su Ruoxi?" Zhong iying shook her head and said, puzzled.
"Who knows!" Ye Qiu dismissed, pulling out several boxes from the safe, "These are so gemstones and diamonds I’ve collected; take a look and see which ones are suitable for the wedding."
"This many?" Zhong iying was taken aback by the size of those raw stones, thinking the diamonds were too large!
"Not many, one set for the wedding dress, one set for the traditional Chinese bridal gown, and one set for the toast. See how you want to arrange them. The wedding is set for next February, not too much ti left."
"What about aunt and Shuyao’s? Have you prepared anything for them?"
Ye Qiu gave a knowing smile, pleased with Zhong iying’s thoughtfulness: "Don’t worry about them, I’ve prepared everything for them, including for your mom. You just need to pick your favorite wedding gown and jewelry; leave the rest to ."
Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Zhong iying felt relieved. When she got engaged two years ago, she thought being respectful to each other and managing the back yard for her husband was enough, but she never expected Ye Qiu to cherish her so deeply. She could clearly feel his affection for her, and being cherished so dearly felt wonderful.
While Ye Qiu and Zhong iying were busy with the wedding preparations for months, Su Ruoxi was alone in a small mountain village. After experiencing sadness, hesitation, and pain, she determinedly decided to stay and teach, completely unaware that Leng Junxuan was almost going mad searching for her.
Because of this, Leng Junxuan had a huge conflict with the Leng Family. They stopped oppressing Mrs. Su and Brother Su, but they stopped providing Leng Junxuan with connections to help him find Su Ruoxi. In a vast country spanning millions of square kiloters with a population of over a billion, how hard could it be to find soone intentionally hiding?
But perhaps the Gods pitied them, as during an earthquake relief effort, Leng Junxuan finally saw the person he had been dreaming of day and night. This ti, he swore he would never let her leave his side again.
The news of Leng Junxuan bringing Su Ruoxi back to the mansion spread instantly to everyone, and it was said that Mr. Leng beca very angry, declaring that if Leng Junxuan insisted on marrying Su Ruoxi, he should get out of the Leng Family.
Perhaps the several months of separation were too painful, or perhaps Leng Junxuan believed his family would eventually accept Su Ruoxi, so he left the Leng Family with her, and the two moved to a small apartnt.
What Leng Junxuan did not know was that as soon as he left the Leng Family decisively for a woman, Mr. Leng lost hope in him and started grooming Leng Haoxuan to take over as the successor.
Leng Haoxuan might not be as capable as Leng Junxuan, but he was ruthless enough, and to be a good head of the family, he had to be soone who could make tough choices and not soone who would forsake everything for a woman.
"Su Ruoxi, you really are an unlucky star." Leng Liuli ran into the woman who led her eldest brother astray in the street and obviously didn’t mince her words. Now that her grandfather was grooming Leng Haoxuan, it wasn’t good news for her.
Leng Haoxuan was her second uncle’s child, and their relationship had been poor since childhood. Once Leng Haoxuan took over the family’s power, she couldn’t imagine what she would lose.
All these troubles were because of the woman in front of her; if not for her bewitching her brother, he wouldn’t have been abandoned by their grandfather.
"Liuli, no matter how much you dislike , your brother and I truly love each other, and we will never separate in this life." After going through so much, Su Ruoxi had seen through it all; she didn’t care about anything as long as Leng Junxuan was by her side.
"Do you know how much your brother will lose because of you?" Leng Liuli couldn’t help but shout.
Su Ruoxi’s facial expression slightly stiffened, but she still slowly shook her head: "I believe he doesn’t need to rely on anyone to carve out his own world,"
"Easy for you to say, you have no idea about the pressure he’s under, what help can you provide him?" Leng Liuli said sarcastically.
Unperturbed, Su Ruoxi responded: "I know I can’t compare to other won in terms of family background, but I will always stand behind him and support him. Liuli, I have other matters to attend to, I must go now."
"You..." Leng Liuli was about to speak when suddenly soone from behind covered her nose with a handkerchief, she struggled a couple of tis and quickly lost consciousness, and the sa happened to Su Ruoxi across from her.
"Boss, how should we deal with these two chicks?" In a daze, Su Ruoxi heard a man’s voice, and she imdiately realized what had happened, starting to panic instantly.
"Why are there two? Didn’t I just ask you to catch Leng Junxuan’s girlfriend?" The man referred to by his subordinates as boss asked in a deep voice, making Su Ruoxi even more panicked when she heard their original intention was indeed herself.
"They were together at the ti, and there was no one nearby, so we just grabbed them both." The subordinate cautiously reported.
The boss didn’t seem to care much about the extra person and continued to ask: "Have you called Leng Junxuan yet?"
"No one answered."
"Call again, if there’s still no answer, chop off one of the chicks’ fingers and send it to where he lives," the boss viciously ordered, causing Su Ruoxi to shiver.
Su Ruoxi observed her surroundings, finding herself in a sealed room, with only a ventilation duct on the south side. However, the duct was high up, and her hands were tied, making it very difficult to climb up.
"Hmm... hiss..." Leng Liuli also woke up from her unconsciousness; she didn’t panic like Su Ruoxi after realizing she was kidnapped.
"Liuli, we..." Su Ruoxi said anxiously.
"Shut up." Leng Liuli whispered sharply, focusing on listening to the sounds outside the door.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open, startling Su Ruoxi imnsely.
"Who are you people? What do you want to do? This is illegal! The police won’t let you go," Su Ruoxi scread with a trembling voice.
Hearing Su Ruoxi’s mindless questioning, Leng Liuli rolled her eyes in annoyance. What a fool; the kidnappers had planned this from the start, don’t they know the consequences?
"Illegal?" The boss snorted coldly, "We’ll see when the police catch ."
"Which one of you two is Leng Junxuan’s woman?" He asked next.
Su Ruoxi and Leng Liuli remained silent, neither spoke again.
Seeing their refusal, the boss harshly kicked Leng Liuli, who was closer to him, and sneered viciously: "Won’t talk?"
Su Ruoxi gasped in shock, anxiously asking, "Liuli, how are you? Are you alright? Don’t be afraid, your brother will co to save us."
"Shut up." Leng Liuli, lying on the ground, coughed once and scolded the mindless woman.
"Liuli? Leng Junxuan’s sister, Leng Liuli?" The boss seed to realize sothing, his gaze towards Leng Liuli turning cold.
