After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

"So, you asked the lawyer to come to me, what do you want to say?"

Sitting opposite Lu Ranran was Chu Yue.

After being detained for these days, the beautiful woman who was meticulous, dignified and elegant has disappeared.

Chu Yue simply tied her gray hair behind her head. Her skin was pale and the corners of her eyes were covered with fine wrinkles.

"I want to make a deal with you," she said.

"Trade?" Lu Ranran found it funny. "What bargaining chips do you think you have now?"

"Besides, why should I trust you?"

Chu Yue leaned forward, her drooping eyelids making her eyeballs look scary and abrupt.

“I know Lawrence Lu’s secret.”

"A secret related to your father's death..."

"What did you say?" Lu Ranran frowned, and suddenly felt that this was ridiculous. "It's not enough that you have occupied my mother's works for more than 20 years, and now you want to make a fuss about my father?"

"Chu Yue, that's enough, they are all dead... I must be crazy to agree to come and see you."

Lu Ranran stood up, and the metal chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

She really didn't want to stay there for a moment!

But the moment she turned around, Chu Yue's voice was without a trace of emotion.

"Want to know how your mother died?"

Lu Ranran paused, took a deep breath, and the familiar feeling of pain appeared again.

"What do you want to say?" Lu Ranran turned around and looked at Chu Yue coldly.

Chu Yue raised her head and put on a weird smile, "Your mother, your mother was killed by me, do you know that?"

For a few seconds, Lu Ranran felt like the person who was walking on the ice but accidentally fell into a hole.

The freezing lake water made her limbs unable to move, flooded her mouth and nose, and covered her eyes.

She couldn't see, couldn't hear, and couldn't break free.

After a long while, Lu Ranran sat back in his previous position and said coldly:

"How did you kill my mother?"

Seeing that this trick worked, Chu Yue leaned lazily back in her chair.

"How about it, do you agree to make a deal with me?"

"Okay," Lu Ranran agreed readily this time, "Let's do the deal."

Chu Yue was a little surprised. She put away her smile and stared at Lu Ranran.

"......real?"

Lu Ranran smiled contemptuously.

This time, it was her turn to lean back in the chair, tapping the table with her fingers.

"Just understand, you are begging me now, Chu Yue."

"My parents have been dead for so many years anyway, so what does it matter if I know how they died?"

"Anyway, you're already here. Your husband, oh no, your ex-husband is just a dog of the Shen family. What's the big deal?"

"And your daughter..." Lu Ranran held her face and smiled innocently, "Who do you think is a good match for her to marry?"

Chu Yue screamed, "No! You dare! Lu Ranran, you dare!"

"Do you think I dare?" Lu Ranran leaned back in his chair, folded his arms and looked at her leisurely.

After a while, Chu Yue finally calmed down and tidied her messy hair.

"I'll tell you how your mother died..."

"That's it?" Lu Ranran raised one corner of her mouth and smiled, "I said, they are all dead anyway, I don't care."

Chu Yue gritted her teeth, "...I will speak publicly about this in court..."

"Confess and you'll get leniency? It doesn't seem to be of any use, right?"

"... I will ask the judge to impose a re-sentence."

Having said this, Lu Ranran pursed her lips, as if reluctantly satisfied with her sincerity.

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Chu Yue swallowed, and a hint of caution appeared in her cloudy eyes.

"Can you...can you help Coco?"

"No need, no need to do anything, just..."

Lu Ranran knocked on the table impatiently, "What is it?"

"So that she can maintain her engagement with Bei Yu."

About an hour later, Lu Ranran finally came out of the meeting room.

Shen Xiling, who was waiting outside, walked quickly to her side, worry written all over his face.

"What did she say?"

Lu Ranran didn't answer him.

Instead, she suddenly began to gasp for breath, her trachea seemed to be roaring, and her chest heaving violently.

"Ran Ran, Ran Ran, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Ranran couldn't reply.

She felt like she was covered in a transparent glass cover. The air gradually became thinner and breathing became difficult. The harder she struggled, the faster the air was consumed.

It's so uncomfortable, my head is about to explode...

Who is talking? She can't hear clearly, someone come and save her...

"slowly!"

With a scream, Lu Ranran fainted on the ground.

By the time Lu Ranran slowly transformed, the feeling of suffocation had disappeared, but the feeling of lack of oxygen made her brain a little sluggish.

She looked at the ceiling in confusion for a while, then turned to look at Shen Xiling who was sitting next to her.

Why was she in the hospital again?

She still remembered that early this morning, when she was about to eat, someone suddenly came -

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Lu Ranran suddenly started coughing violently. Shen Xiling hurried forward and sat beside the bed. He stretched out his long arm and held Lu Ranran in his arms. With his other hand, he took the cup of water from the bedside table and handed it to Lu Ranran.

"It's okay, drink some water..."

He patted her back gently and said softly:

"Are you feeling better? Should I go call a doctor?"

Lu Ranran didn't answer.

Seeing that her emotions seemed to have stabilized, Shen Xiling prepared to get up and leave.

At this time, Lu Ranran reached out and grabbed his sleeve, the sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Can you please not leave..."

"It's okay, I'll be there in a minute—"

"Can you please not leave!"

Lu Ranran shouted loudly, which was rare, with a strong crying tone.

Shen Xiling's heart trembled, and he sat back on the bed without thinking.

A face that was already crying uncontrollably appeared before him.

"What's wrong, Ranran?"

He held her face lovingly and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

But those tears were like a gushing spring, flowing one after another, without stopping.

Shen Xiling felt that her heart was like paper stained by tears. She wanted to do something, but she could only watch her heart get wet with tears.

Lu Ranran sobbed, her lips trembling, and she wanted to say something, but it was quickly swallowed up.

“I, I…I…”

"It's okay, it's okay..." Shen Xiling wiped away her tears in a panic, with a bit of futile heartbreak, "It's okay, I'm here..."

"I, I don't have a mother anymore!"

Along with the cry, the needle seemed to finally break out from some hidden corner.

It pierced her heart firmly, causing her to bleed profusely and causing her unbearable pain.

Lu Ranran knew that she could never go back to the past.

This pain will be with her forever.

Whether you are eating, bathing, sleeping, writing, taking a walk, or even when you are happiest, there will always be that moment that appears suddenly, without reason and without rules.

She was constantly reminded that she was already a person.
