Chapter 259: Chapter 259 The Unfeeling Person (1)_1
By that time, the Qian Family had already started their decline.
So, under the deliberate flattery of Qian Yanxue, the simple-minded Lu Juan became good friends with Qian Yanxue and even besties. Their relationship remained intact when they went abroad together as good friends.
However, Lu Juan’s relationship with Qian Yanxue completely fell apart. It was during their overseas studies that Lu Juan and Qian Yanxue met Loo Jianxin at a school gathering. Loo Jianxin fell in love at first sight with the innocent and beautiful Lu Juan, while Qian Yanxue fell for the handsome Loo Jianxin at first sight.
When Qian Yanxue found out that Loo Jianxin was pursuing Lu Juan, she didn’t know how many things she smashed in her own room. But on the surface, she still acted as if nothing had happened.
On the surface, she showed nothing and carried on as usual. This led Lu Juan to still treat Qian Yanxue as her best friend, sharing all her personal matters, including her relationship with Loo Jianxin.
In secret, though, Qian Yanxue began to devise little schemes to ruin the relationship between Lu Juan and Loo Jianxin.
One time, Qian Yanxue deliberately took a photo of Loo Jianxin helping another girl and showed it to Lu Juan, hoping to break them up. Lu Juan actually believed it, but what Qian Yanxue never expected was that Lu Juan would confront Loo Jianxin with the photo and ask him what was going on.
When Loo Jianxin explained the whole situation to Lu Juan, Qian Yanxue’s little scheme came to nothing.
Although Lu Juan was naive, she was not foolish. She thought through the entire incident and realized Qian Yanxue was behind it, but she couldn’t understand why Qian Yanxue would do such a thing.
Nevertheless, Lu Juan began to guard against Qian Yanxue.
What completely shattered the relationship between Lu Juan and Qian Yanxue was when Qian Yanxue accidentally learned of Loo Jianxin’s identity, and the hidden desires in her heart started to stir. She finally decided to make her move.
Avoiding Lu Juan, she sought out Loo Jianxin, and just when Qian Yanxue went to find Loo Jianxin, Lu Juan, who had agreed to meet with Loo Jianxin, saw her. Wanting to know what Qian Yanxue was up to, Lu Juan followed her secretly.
When Lu Juan heard Qian Yanxue say to Loo Jianxin, "Jianxin, the first time I saw you, I fell for you. Even though I know you like Lu Juan right now, I think if you could spare a glance for me that you’re giving Lu Juan, you’ll surely find that I’m more suitable for you than she is."
Hearing Qian Yanxue’s words, Lu Juan felt the need to cover her mouth, fearing she might let out a scream if she didn’t.
Fortunately for her, Loo Jianxin outright rejected Qian Yanxue after she finished speaking and walked away without looking back.
But Qian Yanxue didn’t give up; she started to boldly, even in front of Lu Juan, express her feelings for Loo Jianxin. This led to a big fight between Lu Juan and Qian Yanxue. After that, their relationship became completely strained.
After the falling out with Qian Yanxue, Lu Juan moved out, no longer living with Qian Yanxue. Along with Loo Jianxin and Lu Juan purposely avoiding her, their interactions with Qian Yanxue became less and less until they lost contact.
This time, after Qian Yanxue broke up with her boyfriend abroad and returned home to work at Qian Enterprise, she accidentally heard her brother mention cooperation with Loo Enterprise. Upon hearing the name Loo, her first reaction was to ask her brother what the president of Loo’s was named.
When she heard her brother say the name Loo Jianxin, Qian Yanxue was thrilled. Over the years, she had many boyfriends abroad, but the one she truly had feelings for was still Loo Jianxin.
Actually, this seems to be a common affliction among people: what one cannot have always seems the best. What’s unattainable is what lingers in one’s mind.
When Qian Yanxue’s brother talked about Loo Jianxin, his face was full of envy, commenting on his incredible luck, the powerful backing he had. He also mentioned how fortunate Lu Juan of the Lu Family was to marry such a catch, multiplying her family’s assets many times over. Qian Yanxue’s brother even complained incessantly about how useless Qian Yanxue and her sisters were for not being able to find a similarly wealthy husband, implying that if they had, the Qian’s wouldn’t be in their current predicament without any support.
Hearing her brother complain, Qian Yanxue felt no resentment for the first time, because a thought had dawned on her: to kick Lu Juan out and become Loo Jianxin’s wife herself.
The more Qian Yanxue thought about it, the better the idea seemed. She revealed to her brother how she knew Loo Jianxin, and claimed that if it weren’t for Lu Juan’s meddling, she would be Loo Jianxin’s wife today.
Her brother grew excited upon hearing Qian Yanxue’s story, only thinking about the benefits he could reap if Loo Jianxin became his brother-in-law. He didn’t give a single thought to what kind of person his sister was or whether she was the type to suffer in silence. Subsequently, Qian Yanxue collaborated with her brother on a plan: during the negotiations between Qian’s and Loo’s, they intended to get the Loo’s representative drunk, or, for those who couldn’t be intoxicated, to drug their drinks. Qian Yanxue didn’t dare to use aphrodisiacs for fear that Loo Jianxin would definitely know if affected by them.
Once Loo Jianxin was drugged, Qian Yanxue and her brother managed to carry him to a hotel room they had prepared in advance. They stripped him of his clothes, and when Loo Jianxin was close to waking up, Qian Yanxue took off her own clothes and slipped under the covers beside him, pretending that they had slept together.
Upon waking, Loo Jianxin believed that he had indeed slept with Qian Yanxue.
Afterward, Qian Yanxue would frequently call Loo Jianxin, asking to meet up. If he attempted to refuse, she threatened to tell Lu Juan about their supposed affair.
Fearing that his wife would divorce him if she found out, Loo Jianxin was forced to compromise with Qian Yanxue each time.
Seeing this, Situ Xin thought to herself, "It looks like when I get back, I need to do some research on something that can prevent being drugged."
