The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively clutched Lu Yuxuan's arm. He gripped my hand with a force so strong it seemed to crush my bones, yet the warmth of his palm strangely reassured me. The black-clad men spread out with practiced precision, surrounding us. The air froze, leaving only the whistling wind and the sound of our rapid breathing.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Lu Yuxuan protected me behind him, his tone cold and with the majesty of a superior, but I knew that he was injured.

The leading man in black didn't say anything, just stared at us coldly, then made a gesture. Before I could react, I was picked up by two men in black and dragged forward roughly.

"Let me go! What are you doing!" I struggled, but it was no use.

"Lolo!" Lawrence Lu roared, trying to rush over, but was stopped by several men in black. His eyes were red, like an enraged lion, but he was powerless.

They roughly stuffed me into a black car, and the door slammed shut, blocking my view from Lu Yuxuan. I desperately slammed the car window, but I could only watch him get farther and farther away from me.

The car sped along and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa. I was taken into the villa, and what I saw shocked me - isn't this the old house of Lawrence Lu's family? How could it be...

I was taken to a room on the second floor, the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of me—it was Lawrence Lu’s stepmother! Why was she here?

"Lolo, long time no see." She sat on the sofa, elegantly holding up a glass of red wine, a meaningful smile on her lips, "I hope you are well."

"How could it be you?" I stared at her in astonishment, countless thoughts flashing through my mind, but I couldn't piece together a reasonable explanation. She took a sip of red wine gracefully, but her eyes were icy cold. "Why couldn't it be me? My dear stepson has messed up the family business. As a mother, of course I have to step in and clean up the mess."

Only then did I notice there were other people in the room, all collateral relatives of the Lu family. They looked at me with disdain and disgust. I suddenly realized I had been set up! This kidnapping, this farce, was all planned by her!

"What do you want to do?" I forced myself to calm down and looked her in the eyes. She put down her glass, slowly stood up, and walked towards me step by step. Every step seemed to step on my heart, making me breathless. "I want you to leave Yuxuan and disappear from his world forever."

“Impossible!” I refused without hesitation. Even in the face of tremendous pressure, I would never give up Lawrence Lu.

She suddenly laughed, her laughter sharp and piercing. "Do you think you have a choice? Look at yourself now, like a lost dog. What gives you the right to fight me?"

I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, the pain keeping me awake. At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, walked in, followed by a group of uniformed police officers.

"Comrade police, it's her. She kidnapped me!" I pointed at Lu Yuxuan's stepmother and shouted.

The police stepped forward and restrained the stepmother. She was still struggling and shouting, "Why are you arresting me? I am Lawrence Lu's mother!"

Uncle Wang walked over to me and said softly, "Miss Lin, don't worry, the young master is fine now. He asked me to come and take you back."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, my body softened, and I almost collapsed to the ground. Uncle Wang supported me, his eyes full of distress: "Ms. Lin, you have suffered."

I shook my head to show that I was fine. I knew that the storm had not completely passed, but at least we had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Uncle Wang arranged for someone to send me back to the Lu family villa. Along the way, I was worried about Lawrence Lu's situation. When I returned to the villa, I immediately rushed into the study and saw Lawrence Lu sitting at his desk, lowering his head to process documents.

"Yuxuan!" I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly, afraid that he would disappear if I let go.

He put down the documents in his hand, stroked my hair gently, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

I raised my head and looked into his eyes, tears welling up in my eyes: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you worry."

He gently wiped away my tears and said with a smile: "Silly, what nonsense are you talking about? This has nothing to do with you."

I know that this crisis has deepened our bond and made us cherish each other even more.

"Lolo," he held my face in his hands, his eyes as gentle as water, "let's get married when all this is over."

My heart trembled suddenly. Happiness came so suddenly that I was caught off guard. I looked into his deep eyes, which reflected my own reflection and the ups and downs we had experienced together. I nodded vigorously, tears blurring my vision, but I couldn't hide the smile on my lips.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" He smiled and wiped my tears. "We still have a long way to go, and we have to walk it together."

I snuggled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling the long-lost peace and security. After weathering this storm, our relationship has become even stronger, and our feelings for each other have become even clearer.

Chenxi stood at the door of the study, witnessing this scene, a relieved smile on her face. She had grown a lot over the past few days, from being confused and helpless at first to being able to stand on her own two feet now, she had gradually found her direction in life.

"Yuxuan, Luoluo, congratulations!" Chenxi walked forward and sincerely wished them well. "Seeing you happy, I feel relieved."

"Chenxi, thank you," I held her hand and said gratefully, "I have been so grateful to you during this period. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done."

"We're friends, so why bother thanking me?" Chen Xi said with a bright smile. "Besides, I've already decided to stay here and fight alongside you!"

I looked at her in surprise: "Have you really thought it through?"

Chenxi nodded firmly: "Yes! I have found what I want to do. I want to stay and contribute to the development of Lu Group!"

I smiled with relief, happy for Chenxi and also happy for Lawrence Lu. I believe that with their joint efforts, the Lu Group will surely usher in an even more glorious tomorrow!

Sunlight streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden halo on the floor. I curled up on the sofa, a cup of hot cocoa in my hand, watching Lawrence Lu and Chenxi excitedly discussing the company's future development direction, and a happy smile appeared on my face.

During this period, under the leadership of Lawrence Lu, the Lu Group has emerged from the haze, and all businesses are gradually getting back on track. Looking at all this, I felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and I felt an indescribable sense of relief.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?" Lu Yuxuan's gentle voice sounded in my ears, pulling me back from my thoughts.

I looked up at him, smiled and shook my head: "Nothing, I just feel that it's really good now."

He ruffled my hair lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness: "It will be better in the future."

However, at this moment, a rapid phone ring broke the silence. Lawrence Lu picked up the phone and frowned slightly.

"Hello?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, Lawrence Lu’s face instantly became solemn. He stood up suddenly, his voice low: “What did you say? Are you sure?”

I looked at him nervously, my heart suddenly rising to my throat.

“Okay, I got it, I’ll be there right away.” Lawrence Lu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to keep himself calm.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked anxiously.

He turned to look at me with a complicated look in his eyes: "Lolo, I have to go out right away. There's an emergency at the company."

"Is it serious?" I asked worriedly.

He forced a smile: "It's okay, just a small problem, I can take care of it quickly."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his coat and hurried away. Watching him leave, I felt a strong sense of unease.

At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.

I hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is it?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then a cold voice came: "Lin Luoluo, long time no see..."
