Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 49 I have always believed in corporal punishment.

Shi Xiaxia grinned, her eyes sparkling like bright stars: "It's just taking a pulse, it won't cost me anything. Maybe I can heal your leg?"

Shi Xiaxia accurately felt Lu Chuanbai's pulse; it was strong and powerful, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, his inability to walk was not an act.

Shi Xiaxia let go of his hand and stared thoughtfully at Lu Chuanbai's legs.

Lu Chuanbai withdrew his wrist, which was still aching from Shi Xiaxia's grip, and gave her a cold glance: "Have you seen enough?"

Shi Xiaxia pressed her advantage: "It would be even better if I could touch it!"

Lu Chuanbai: "......"

Qiao Zihao: "!!!"

Lu Chuanbai laughed in exasperation: "You..."

Just then, a flippant male voice rang out: "Oh! Mr. Lu is quite the catch! Not only is the fake heiress of the Shen family infatuated with you, but even the real heiress seems to have fallen for your suit pants!"

Shi Xiaxia looked up and saw a handsome man with brown hair and a suit walking towards them.

He noticed Shi Xiaxia's gaze and even whistled at her.

Qiao Zihao nudged Shi Xiaxia and whispered a reminder: "Shen Yu's mortal enemy, Murong Quan."

Shi Xiaxia nodded slightly and smiled at Murong Quan, saying, "Saying that President Lu is a hot commodity is not quite accurate; it's more like saying he's Tang Monk's flesh."

Upon hearing this, Murong Quan's smile widened: "This is the first time I've ever heard someone call themselves a female demon."

"Fairy?"

Shi Xiaxia chuckled: "I wanted to help President Lu heal his leg. I might not be a saint who saves people from suffering, but I could be considered President Lu's benefactor, right? How could I be some lowly demon?"

Although Shi Xiaxia didn't say it explicitly, everyone present was shrewd and naturally understood that Shi Xiaxia was indirectly criticizing Shen Qingqing.

The two continued to tease Lu Chuanbai as if no one else was around, seemingly oblivious to Lu Chuanbai's increasingly unpleasant expression.

"Have you said enough?!" Lu Chuanbai's voice was laced with gritted teeth.

"Hey! Look at my mouth!"

Murong Quan slapped his mouth, his expression slightly apologetic: "That's just how I am, I hope President Lu won't hold it against me!"

Before Lu Chuanbai could answer, Murong Quan continued with a smile, "If President Lu is really being petty and wants to hold a grudge, I can only ask my elders to plead with the Lu family."

Lu Chuanbai: "......"

I'm a little angry, but I can't vent it.

He looked at Murong Quan with a slightly somber gaze and gave a cryptic smile.

Murong Quan's apologetic expression immediately became much more sincere: "It's my fault for speaking too quickly, I won't say it again next time."

As soon as Murong Quan finished speaking, a familiar voice rang out: "Hey! Zihao, you're here."

Mu Yun appeared out of nowhere, smiling as he stared at Qiao Zihao.

"Big brother!"

Qiao Zihao screamed in alarm and quickly hid behind Shi Xiaxia, crying, "You can't see me! You can't see me!"

"President Lu! You're here too! Long time no see!"

Mu Yun pretended to have just arrived at Lu Chuanbai's place and greeted him, "Oh! Judging from Mr. Lu's expression, are you angry?! Who is so bold as to dare to make Mr. Lu angry?"

"General Mu."

Lu Chuanbai nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Mu Yun, Qiao Zihao, and Shi Xiaxia, a faint smile on his lips.

He knew that Mu Yun understood what had just happened, and that he had been watching a good show before timing his actions to help Shi Xiaxia out of the predicament.

Although the Lu family doesn't need to take the Mu family seriously, it's a small matter and there's really no need to make a big fuss about it.

Lu Chuanbai glanced at Shi Xiaxia coldly before having his bodyguard push the wheelchair away.

After Lu Chuanbai left, Mu Yun greeted Lin Peilan and Murong Quan with a smile.

After the three exchanged pleasantries, Mu Yun smiled again and looked at Qiao Zihao: "Zihao?"

"Brother! Big brother! Dear brother! I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again!" Qiao Zihao hid behind Shi Xiaxia, not daring to show his face.

Lin Peilan smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao is actually President Mu's younger brother."

“He took his mother’s surname,” Mu Yun explained.

The six of them then continued walking inside while chatting.

Qiao Zihao poked his head out and asked Mu Yun, "Big brother, what brings you here?"

Mu Yun glanced at Qiao Zihao: "I'm here to take you back."

Qiao Zihao immediately fell silent.

Looking at the two of them, Lin Peilan couldn't help but sigh, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

After she finished speaking, her expression turned somewhat sad.

Lin Peilan never imagined that her beloved younger brother would conspire with Yue Fengzhu to take away the company she had worked so hard to build!

However, Lin Peilan's expression changed very subtly, and Lin Yifan, who was always by her side, did not notice it.

Mu Yun raised an eyebrow: "I have always believed in corporal punishment."

Qiao Zihao's eyes widened: "!!!"

After a long pause, he finally said, "My crime doesn't warrant death, does it?"

Just then, Shen Qingqing, dressed in a pink princess dress, walked slowly towards them, arm in arm with the handsome and elegant Shen Yu.

Shen Fuxi, who was standing next to the two, quickly walked up to Shi Xiaxia and whispered, "Xiaxia, I'm sorry, I haven't found out about the Shen family and Mao Xin's father's order yet, but it was definitely not me and Dad who did it!"

Shi Xiaxia looked at Shen Fuxi without saying a word.

Shen Qingqing noticed this scene, her lips twitched, and her expression was somewhat sarcastic.

She and Shen Yu approached the group, then she lifted her skirt and gracefully bowed to them: "President Lin, President Mu."

Lin Peilan and Mu Yun both nodded to Shen Qingqing with indifferent expressions.

Lin Yifan, on the other hand, greeted Shen Qingqing warmly: "Qingqing! You're here! You look so beautiful in this dress!"

"Thank you." Shen Qingqing smiled shyly, "Mr. Lin's fits perfectly too."

The two exchanged a few compliments.

Then Lin Yifan said to Lin Peilan, "Sister, I remember that the spokesperson for the company's new product has not been selected yet. I think Qingqing would be perfect for it!"

Lin Peilan immediately looked at Lin Yifan, then smiled slightly and said, "Yifan has really grown up; he's even learned to care about company matters now."

Lin Yifan's expression froze for a moment, then he explained, "My sister works hard every day, getting up early and working late. As her younger brother, I should share some of the burden so that you don't have to work so hard."

Lin Peilan smiled and shook her head: "You mean well, but you're not very familiar with the company's affairs yet. Don't worry about the endorsement."

Although Lin Peilan was talking to Lin Yifan the whole time, what she said was also a veiled rejection of Shen Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing's expression changed slightly, and she involuntarily tightened her grip on Shen Yu's arm.

After being humiliated by Lu Chuanbo, she contacted Lin Yifan, hoping to find out if he had any resources.

At the time, Lin Yifan said that the company's new product did not yet have an endorsement, and he confidently guaranteed that he could get her the endorsement. However, Lin Peilan rejected it outright.

Shen Qingqing's gaze darkened, and she felt deeply humiliated.

"But sister..." Lin Yifan asked anxiously, trying to say something.
