103: Liu Ruyan's bold plan!

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Liu Ruyan's face, which had been blooming like a spring flower, instantly froze.

The reason she was waiting there was because it was Lu Chen's exclusive elevator, and normally, besides Lu Chen and her, almost no one was qualified to use it.

So, as soon as the elevator indicator light came on, she was certain that Lu Chen was about to appear, and thus she rushed to greet him.

Of course, she hadn't succumbed to Lu Chen's oppressive power; instead, she wanted to use this method to build a good relationship with him, hoping to retrieve the video from the glasses.

After returning from the Lu Family Manor, she experienced a painful struggle within herself.

Initially, she felt she had suffered a great humiliation, and emotions like anger, sadness, and despair flooded her heart.

She cried in her room, her face streaked with tears, smashing everything she could, filled with resentment towards Lu Chen, and even thought of completely breaking ties with him.

She even considered finding someone to teach Lu Chen a lesson and avenge her innocence.

However, as her emotions gradually calmed, she began to think rationally.

She knew Lu Chen's influence was vast; if she broke ties with him, the Liu Family would undoubtedly suffer the most severe retaliation, and the entire Family could face a catastrophic disaster due to her impulsive moment.

She also thought about being distant towards Lu Chen, but then she felt she had suffered a great loss, not only losing her innocence but also gaining no benefits, which made her angrier and more unwilling the more she thought about it.

How could she swallow this Qi?

Every time she thought of this, she trembled with Qi and gnashed her teeth.

But when she considered it from another angle, she felt that Lu Chen's actions towards her might imply some special feelings he had for her.

If that was the case, why shouldn't she use this to infiltrate the Dihao Group and then gradually erode the Lu Family's assets? This way, her enormous sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

Thus, that bold plan began to sprout in her heart once more.

She wanted to infiltrate the Dihao Group, and with her charm and wisdom, she would gradually penetrate and erode the Lu Family's assets, repaying the humiliation she suffered today with interest!

However, before that, she absolutely had to retrieve that video; it was a sharp blade hanging over her heart. As long as the video remained in Lu Chen's hands, she felt uneasy and couldn't rest or eat.

Even if she truly controlled the Lu Family's wealth in the future, that video would be like a ticking time bomb, capable of destroying everything she had painstakingly built at any moment.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, the elevator doors quietly opened, revealing Lu Chen and another unfamiliar yet stunningly beautiful woman.

Liu Ruyan looked closely, seeing Gu Xiaoxiao dressed in a form-fitting professional suit, the fabric clinging tightly to her body curves, showcasing her figure to perfection.

Her slender waist, which could be clasped with one hand, seemed as if it could easily break, and the lines of her calves beneath the skirt were taut and smooth, encased in flesh-colored stockings, exuding a subtle yet alluring charm.

Looking at her face, her eyebrows were like distant mountain peaks, resembling the tender shoots of new willows in spring, fresh and elegant.

Her lips were like cherries, delicate and tempting, and her eyes were bright and clear, like a pristine spring, yet subtly hinting at a certain nervousness and unease, like a startled fawn.

This blend of purity and fragility, surprisingly, created a wonderful conflicting beauty with her professional attire.

It complemented the atmosphere of the high-end office building even more, making her a striking sight.

Like Gu Xiaoxiao, Liu Ruyan's heart also skipped a beat, and a sense of vigilance arose spontaneously.

Who exactly was this woman? How could she be riding the elevator with Lu Chen?

Her mind instantly replayed the images of the many beautiful women she had seen at the Lu Family Manor, each possessing breathtaking beauty, but the Gu Xiaoxiao before her was unique and no less stunning.

Liu Ruyan's delicate brows furrowed; she couldn't understand when such a person had appeared by Lu Chen's side.

Could she be a new competitor?

Would she disrupt her carefully planned scheme?

Numerous thoughts swirled rapidly in her mind, and for a moment, a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes.

However, Liu Ruyan was not an ordinary woman after all.

After a brief moment of gaffe (loss of composure), she quickly adjusted her emotions, her lips curving upwards again into a seemingly friendly yet subtly enigmatic smile, though that smile now carried a hint of forced effort and deeper meaning... It seems I'm sick again. The flu has been very severe lately, and my body is getting weaker day by day. I've had a headache and sore throat all day. I'll write one chapter first and then stay up late to catch up.
