She poured a glass of red wine for Lu Qingqiao with the decanter and said in a natural and demure tone, "Sister, you're the best to me. Thank you for organizing such a good birthday party for me. I want to spend it with you again next year."
Lu Qingqiao looked at the red wine poured into her glass. Her eyes were dazed.
In her previous life, someone added something to this glass of wine. After drinking it, the medicine took effect not long after, and Lu Xueru sent her to rest in the name of being drunk.
For some reason, Lu Xueru's arrangement ended up harming Qin Xun. After the chaos, he fell into a coma and was awakened by a loud noise. He was already in the hospital.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Si Jingsen's worried face and Lu Xueru's pale, self-blaming face.
Many people outside the ward wanted to report his condition as soon as possible.
The media maliciously reported this matter. And the truth was distorted into that Lu Qingqian hired people to retaliate and violate him. The criminals confessed to the police.
Her so-called promiscuous private life, unscrupulous work, and all kinds of negative things began to emerge.
In a short time, the Lu Corporation's stock price plummeted. There was also internal turmoil caused by elite teams jumping ship and employees slandering. The partners were willing to pay a huge penalty to terminate the contract...
She was both mentally and physically exhausted.
Si Jingsen was the first to stand out and support her. He wanted to use the power of Ji Rui International to help the Lu Corporation tide over this difficult time.
Lu Qingqiao was deeply touched. It was only later that she realized this was all part of his scheme.
He had already made all the arrangements from the day he returned to the country. He was just waiting for her to fall into it.
Qin Xun's unexpected appearance didn't disrupt his plan. The people he had bribed insisted she was the one who did it.
If not for the fact that Lu Qingqiao had the student ID she had found in an inconspicuous corner of the bedside table, she would have been deceived by the lies and thought that it was all a dream.
Back then, she had suspected many of her competitors, but she had never thought it would be Si Jingsen.
The two had known each other since they were young, and she had always thought he was a gentle and bright gentleman. She did not expect him to be so scheming.
She did not expect Lu Xueru to have been with him since a long time ago!
She, Lu Qingqiao, had been smart all her life, but she had capsized in the gutter. It was a tragic scene!
"Sister? Qingqiao?" Lu Xueru called out in confusion. Lu Qingqiao had been silent for a while as she stared at the glass of wine.
Lu Qingqiao took a sip and nodded.
Lu Xueru saw that she did not drink much. But she was not in a hurry. Lu Qingqiao had plenty of opportunities to drink.
When Lu Xueru turned around to drink with Si Jingsen, Lu Qingqiao leaned closer to Qin Xun. It seemed like she was whispering to him, but in fact, she was wiping her mouth discreetly and changing her glass of wine without anyone noticing.
Qin Xun saw her little movements and was truly looking forward to the development of things.
After a while, Lu Qingqiao lowered her eyes and leaned back on the sofa while looking drunk.
Lu Xueru, who had been waiting for this opportunity, immediately sent someone to take her to rest.
"I'll do it." Qin Xun supported Lu Qingqiao and pretended to lean on his shoulder. Unexpectedly, his shoulders were broad and comfortable to lean on.
"Then, you can take my sister and go with her." Lu Xueru looked at Lu Qingqiao leaning against Qin Xun with her eyes closed. Lu Qingqiao seemed unconscious from being drunk. She looked at the two people who were leading the way.
As she was being helped away by Qin Xun, Lu Qingqiao heard someone behind her tease. "CEO Lu's alcohol tolerance is getting worse."
