Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 834: Her Worth is to be an Accompaniment

Ding! He reached the fifteenth floor. He only recovered his senses by then, ran towards the card-punching area, and reached out his thumb. Ka! He had successfully punched in at eight fifty-nine. When he looked up again, it was already nine.

Afterward, he patted his chest. So close... he was really lucky.

When he walked into the office, all the other people looked at him with pity.

“What just happened?” He scratched his head. Was he not late? Did he not have a minute to spare? Why did everyone look at him as if he was going to get fired?

“Are you okay?” an old employee asked him kindly. Was he really okay?

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He rolled his sleeves up, sat down, and turned on the computer. Just that, he was feeling awkward with so many pairs of eyes on him.

“Did you go to the eighteenth floor?”

The man asked complicatedly.

“Yes, I did.” He was very honest.

“Did you see that Ms. Xia?”

“Ms. Xia?” He blinked. “The one wearing the white dress, right? She was really pretty!”

Now, everyone did not pity him but distanced themselves away from him. They were all waiting for him to get fired as, after all, that Ms. Xia was the most famous job killer in their office.

She did not have any specific work to do; her work was to kill people and fire them.

Just that, after waiting for a few days, the new person—who was also a bit foolish—did not look like he got fired. Until a long while later, he then found out that he could not enter that elevator. It turned out some women could not be messed with.

...

Xia Ruoxin walked in again, and the secretary sitting at the door hurriedly stood up.

“Hello, Ms. Xia.”

“Hello!” Xia Ruoxin greeted her, too. This secretary seemed pretty scared of her; was her face dirty, or did she look really scary?

However, she did not know that not only this new secretary was afraid of her, but the entire company.

She opened Chu Lui’s door, sat on his office chair, and leaned back to rest.

“Brother Lui!” Bang! Chu Lui’s office door was pushed open. The one who came in wearing red was none other than Xia Yixuan.

A few years had passed, and Xia Yixuan still looked like she was the young mistress of the Xia household. She had a voluptuous chest, thin waist, and an almost bare back.

“Why is it you?” Xia Yixuan thought if she came on her own, she would be able to find Chu Lui. Now, she was different from the past. In the past, she did this with the backing of their two families’ relationships. Now, her new backing was Song Wan and not anyone else. Hence, once she entered here, she could just wave the access card to the elevator in her hands and entered without restrictions.

Just that, why was it Xia Ruoxin and not Chu Lui?

Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes wide and looked lightly at Xia Yixuan.

Her gaze landed on Xia Yixuan’s hair. Her hair was a beautiful red wine color, and it looked familiar. Also, the scent of her body was familiar, too. She had some sort of impression but perhaps it had been too long, she could not really remember.

“Why are you here?” Xia Yixuan said and was close to screaming.

Xia Ruoxin raised her red lips. “Why can’t I be here?”

Xia Yixuan was stumped. At this time, Xia Ruoxin’s gaze was judging and in deep thought, which made Xia Yixuan feel guilty for some reason.

She twisted her waits and sat on the sofa, sticking her butt on it and did not move.

Of course, Xia Ruoxin did not want to chase anyone. Just that, being under the same roof with Xia Yixuan, she believed none of them liked it.

In the past, at the Xia household and in school, Xia Yixuan had a presence that she could not directly look at. Xia Yixuan was a fresh flower, and she was just grass; Xia Yixuan was the princess, and she was the dog that the princess owned.

Even though these descriptions were not right, it did happen like that.

In the Xia household, she did not even have the right to eat at the table. She was just the embarrassment of the Xia household, a step-daughter; honestly, she was just a burden that Shen Yijun brought in.

Of course, this burden was not that useless. After eating the Xia household’s food for decades, she had contributed much to them. She accompanied this princess as she grew and was responsible for her to be happy and to excel. In the end, she still had to be her scapegoat.

One could just see her worth.

“Xia Ruoxin!” Suddenly, Xia Yixuan yelled Ruoxin’s name.

“Hm? What’s the matter?” Xia Ruoxin spread her legs lazily. Clearly, she had forgotten that there was someone else here.

How could Xia Yixuan—who always excelled—receive this kind of treatment, especially by a step-sister she had always stepped on? Even just drinking a mouthful of water alone, the indignance and discomfort would make her suffer and upset.

Xia Yixuan stood up and ran towards Xia Ruoxin. Her pretty eyes were filled with hatred, and her good-looking face was contorted.

“I want you to leave Brother Lui right now. How can you be good enough for Chu Lui? Xia Ruoxin, you cheap woman. No one even knows how many men you had. How dare you have the guts to stay with Brother Lui? If I were you, I would bang my head against the wall and die.”

“Did you not already do it?” Xia Ruoxin raised her eyes lightly. “Why? You haven’t died, right? I know very well how many men I have. Talking about numbers, if you—Ms. Xia—is number-two, no one would dare to be number-one.”

Her every word was light but had a tinge of sarcasm with it. However, in Xia Yixuan’s ears, it pricked them until her heart hurt. She raised her hand and wanted to use the old methods to bully this worthless nothing that did not even have a mother.

Her hand flung out, and Xia Ruoxin did not dodge because she knew that there was someone at the door.

She was just waiting for the palm to land on her face. There were just too many people who had slapped her face in her life; even her own mother had done it. She was used to it.

In the end—before Xia Yixuan’s fingers could even touch the side of her clothes and her face, she heard Xia Yixuan’s scream. She was already on the floor in an ugly posture. Her thighs were open wide, and she was clearly wearing a short dress. However, she did not even know how to wear safety shorts. How could that thin material block the glory below? Luckily, no one here was staring at her place; if not, she would be disadvantaged, big time.
