Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 341 - The Beautiful and Noble Mrs. Chu



Chapter 341 The Beautiful and Noble Mrs. Chu

“Didn’t you say before that it wasn’t poison but medicine to stabilize his emotions?” Li Manni yelled, losing control of her emotions. She wrung her hands tightly together. If she could turn back time, she would never believe his nonsense again. She was too afraid at that time, afraid that the marriage she had gotten from her scheme would be easily destroyed. Chu Lui loved Xia Yixuan and hated Xia Ruoxin. She did not know what was in his heart so she believed it easily, the words of the man who had suddenly appeared.

He said he could help her so he gave her the medicine, telling her to put it in Chu Lui’s coffee every morning. It would help to soothe his mood and aid sleep, and this went on for four years. Indeed, Chu Lui stopped showing other emotions and was loyal to their marriage. He doted on her and treated her well, but she still did not know whether he loved her or not.

Perhaps she had known from the start that he did not love her, and that was why she believed this man’s nonsense.

She gave him medicine, not poison.

Absolutely not poison. The man let out a big laugh. In front of him, Li Manni felt foolish and childish. How could she believe his words at that time? Hearing the word ‘poison’ from his mouth scared her so much she wanted to go crazy.

Was he really alright after drinking that kind of coffee for four years?

No, no, he was always healthy. There was no way he was unwell. This man must be lying to her.

“Stop lying to me. It is not the ancient times now, and yet you’re poisoning someone?” Li Manni lifted her chin, refusing to let this man know her weakness, yet she did not know he had long seized her greatest weakness, one that she feared most. His hands were already around her neck, squeezing and cutting her circulation.

“Is that so?” The man sneered with his arms crossed. “Then, beautiful and noble Mrs. Chu, if I tell your husband about this, will he believe me?”

Li Manni heart clenched, and she snorted. “Of course, he wouldn’t believe you.” However, she evaded his eyes. Chu Lui was a suspicious man by nature. There was no smoke without fire. He might not believe him, but it did not mean he would not suspect her. He wasn’t a fool. He was a businessman, a very successful one at that.

Therefore, even though Li Manni appeared extremely confident, she was starting to feel guilty, for she really did not know.

“Oh, Mrs. Chu. Lets’ go try, shall we? Let’s see if Chu Lui believes an outsider like me, or a kind and gentle woman like you?” The man pursed his lips in disdain as he said the words ‘kind and gentle’. It was all fake. The truth was this woman was scheming beyond imagination.

“If someone knew that the young lady of the Chu Group had poisoned her husband, it might make you more well-known, even though you’re already very well-known.

“A woman who is treasured and beloved by Chu Lui will make many envious and jealous, do you believe?” The man turned away from her. “You will end up worse and more pitiful than Xia Ruoxin four years ago.”

The man walked forwards slowly. He walked extremely slowly with a hint of a gleeful smile at the corner of his lips. He was waiting for the woman’s reaction, and it definitely would not disappoint him. Just thinking about it made him excited, stirred him up, and…

… made his whole body tremble.

Li Manni clenched her hands hard. When the man took another step forward, her heart became agitated; and she was beside herself with fear. She started to break down at last. No, she couldn’t, she absolutely couldn’t.

“Wait!” She stopped him hurriedly and asked with clenched teeth. “What do you want? Tell me, how much money do you want?”

She took a deep breath in. She could not take any risk, or else she would become a second Xia Ruoxin. That was more agonizing and unbearable than killing her.

“That’s right, Mrs. Chu.” The man turned around with a confident smile, determined to win. He knew that the noble Mrs. Chu would never damage her own reputation.

She loved Chu Lui, but she loved herself more.

The man walked back leisurely, and Li Manni became more and more nervous. She blamed her momentary greed at that time, which landed her in such a scary situation with no way to fight back.

The man stood in front of Li Manni and stared down at her. His gaze made Li Manni uncomfortable to the point where she almost screamed.

“Tell me, what is it that you want? How much money do you want to leave me alone?” She spoke a little louder. It was a good thing the housekeepers were away; otherwise, she really did not know what to do.

“I have money so I don’t want it.” The man’s gaze landed on her face and then to her chest, which was heaving from nervousness.

“Then what do you want?” Li Manni’s face was pale. This was the first time she was threatened by such a person, and it was definitely not the last. This man was like a vicious snake. He had already wound himself tightly around her neck and was coiling tighter and tighter until she could not breathe.

“What is it that I want?” The man reached his hand out suddenly and touched Li Manni’s delicate face. As expected of Chu Lui’s woman. Even her skin was so exquisite.

“What exactly do you want?” Li Manni backed up a little. She only felt disgust towards his hands. Towards the unconcealed distaste in her eyes, the man only smiled more arrogantly and became more perverted.

“I want to have a taste of Chu Lui’s woman. Will you give it to me?” His eyes landed on Li Manni’s chest again, and his lips curved into a wicked smile. What he wanted wasn’t money but her body, of course.

“You’re shameless!” Upon hearing his words, Li Manni raised her hand towards the man, but she had forgotten that not everyone was as easy to take advantage of as Xia Ruoxin, who would not retaliate when hit and scolded. Many people in the world would not be willing to bear this and would not show pity for a girl. The man caught Li Manni’s hand roughly before she even touched his face.

“Li Manni, I am not Chu Lui. I will not treat you like a treasure. I want your body, and if you’re not willing, I won’t force you. I don’t want to bed an unwilling woman.”
