The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 1: Meeting You Around the Corner

The big raindrops hit my face, it hurt, but I didn't have time to wipe them off, I could only run forward desperately. Damn it, it rained heavily at this time, the tire burst at this time, and at this time...

"Oh!"

I crashed into a hard embrace, and then a strong smell of men's perfume entered my nose, mixed with the dampness of rain, it was surprisingly pleasant. I raised my head in embarrassment, and met a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky, and the gaze was as sharp as a knife, which made my heart tremble.

"Don't you have eyes to look at when you walk?" The voice was cold and without a trace of warmth. My heart instantly sank to the bottom. Yes, I deserved to be scolded for being so reckless. I hurriedly wanted to apologize, but when I saw his white shirt soaked by the rain, I froze. This shirt... was exactly the same as the one worn by the man next to Li Luoyao in the hospital that day!

"I'm... I'm sorry..." I stammered to apologize and hurriedly stepped out of his arms, but accidentally stepped on the puddles on the ground and slipped.

"Be careful!" He quickly grabbed my arm, and this time it was my turn to crash into his arms. I could even feel his strong heartbeat under his chest, which made me dizzy.

"Thank you...thank you..." I spoke incoherently and just wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

He let me go, but he didn't mean to leave. He just looked at me coldly, as if he was examining something. I felt uneasy when he looked at me, and I subconsciously clenched my fists.

"What's your name?" He finally spoke, his voice still cold, but a little less sharp.

"Li...Li Luoxue." I lowered my head, not daring to look at him.

He pulled a business card out of his pocket and handed it to me, "Contact me if you need anything."

I mechanically took the business card. There was only a name and a phone number on it: Zhong Yuxuan.

"Thank you." I thanked him again and then ran away.

I returned home soaking wet, but what greeted me was my mother's cold face and a paternity test report.

"Luo Xue, what is going on?" The mother's voice trembled slightly, her eyes full of disbelief.

I took the report with trembling hands. The results on it were like a sharp blade, stabbing my heart.

My father and I have no blood relationship.

I felt like I was slapped hard in the face, and my vision went dark. For so many years, I always thought I was the daughter of the Li family, enjoying the love of my parents and the care of my brother, but in the end, I found that it was all a joke.

"I... I don't know..." I collapsed on the ground weakly, tears streaming down my face.

My eyes fell on another page of the identification report, on which was written another person's name: Li Luoyao, with a match degree of 99.99%.

Li Luoyao, the girl who grew up in an orphanage, the girl I always thought was a poor thing, turned out to be the real eldest daughter of the Li family?

My mind was in a mess, with countless thoughts flashing through my mind, but I couldn't catch them.

"What on earth is going on?" I murmured to myself, my voice filled with despair and helplessness...

I collapsed on the ground, letting my tears blur my vision. The name on the appraisal report was like a sharp blade, completely tearing apart the beautiful world I had built over the years. At this moment, a voice interrupted me, sharp and piercing, just like this cold rainy night.

"Oh, isn't this our noble eldest daughter of the Li family? Why are you sitting on the ground? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Li Luoyao was standing at the door, with a mocking smile on her face, looking down at me condescendingly. There was not a trace of sympathy in her eyes, only undisguised pride.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the girl who had similar features to me but had always lived in darkness. I felt mixed emotions. I used to pity her and help her like alms, but I never thought that she was the one who was teased by fate.

"Why? Are you surprised to see the DNA comparison results between me and my father?" Li Luoyao took a few steps closer and covered her mouth in surprise. "I thought you knew it a long time ago. After all, you are so smart, how could you not notice it?"

Every word she said was like a needle, piercing my heart. Yes, how could I not notice it? For so many years, my father's love for me has always been a little distant, but he has an unconcealed guilt and pity for Li Luoyao.

"You don't have to say anything, I understand." Li Luoyao squatted down and stretched out her hand to touch my cheek, but I pushed it away. "After all, for so many years, you have enjoyed everything that should have belonged to me. Now, it's my turn."

Her eyes were cold and strange, as if she was looking at a stranger. I staggered to my feet, my heart aching. This turned out to be the truth, the answer I had been searching for.

"What do you want?" I asked in a hoarse voice, my voice was terribly dry.

"You will give me back everything I want." Li Luoyao stood up, dusted herself off, turned around and left the room, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air, "Of course, this also includes... him."

I know who "he" is. Zhong Yuxuan, the man who broke into my life like lightning and appeared when I was at my most miserable, will he be the last straw that broke my back?

I dragged my heavy feet back to my room, packed a few pieces of clothing, and then took the only photo left by my mother and left this place that was once full of laughter but now suffocated me.

The cold rain hit my face, but I didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness, because my heart had already fallen into the abyss. I didn't know what the future would be like, I only knew that I couldn't stay here anymore, I needed to find a piece of sky that belonged to me. The rain was still falling, as if it was laughing at my embarrassment. I walked aimlessly, letting the rain wash over my body, as if it could wash away the pain in my heart.

"Luo Xue!" An umbrella blocked the rain above my head, and Qin Xue's anxious voice came from my ear, "Why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Seeing Qin Xue, I couldn't hold back the grievance in my heart any longer, tears burst out, and I threw myself into her arms and cried bitterly. Qin Xue was my college classmate and one of my few friends. She had always known my family situation and my feelings for my father.

"Don't cry, Luo Xue, everything will pass." Qin Xue patted my back gently and comforted me softly.

"Xue'er, I have nothing left..." I said with a sob, my voice full of despair.

"You still have me." Qin Xue said firmly, "You still have me, and you still have yourself. Luo Xue, you can't be defeated like this, you have to cheer up!"

Qin Xue's words were like a flash of lightning, breaking through the haze in my heart. Yes, I can't just give up like this, I have to live for myself!

With the help of Qin Xue, I rented a small house and started a new life. However, the cruelty of reality was far beyond my imagination. I lowered my status and sent my resume to companies one by one, but I was repeatedly rejected.

"I'm sorry, Miss Li, your education and work experience do not meet our requirements."

"Ms. Li, I'm sorry, our company currently does not have any suitable positions."

Rejection after rejection completely destroyed my already fragile self-confidence. I began to doubt myself, my abilities, and the meaning of my existence.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I often cried alone in my bed. I missed the carefree me in the past, the me who was held in my father's hands, and the me who once made me full of hope for the future.

Just when I was about to give up, a business card suddenly flashed through my mind - Zhong Yuxuan.

Zhong Yuxuan, a business friend of my father, whom I have met several times, gave me a business card and told me to just let him know if I needed any help in the future.

I searched through my bag and finally found the yellowed business card. The words "General Manager of Zhong Group" on it were particularly eye-catching under the dim light.

Is it really okay to contact him? I hesitated, rubbing my fingers gently on the business card. He is so busy, would he be willing to help someone like me who has nothing to do with him? Moreover, given my father's current situation, he probably has already drawn a line between us.

But who else could I turn to besides him? I clutched the business card tightly, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.

I took a deep breath and dialed the number above. There was a beeping tone on the other end of the line, and every beep struck my heart and made me more and more nervous. Just when I was about to give up, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, who is this?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Zhong... Mr. Zhong, I'm Li Luoxue, Li..." I was so nervous that I couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

"Li Luoxue?" The other party seemed stunned for a moment, and then his tone became a little playful, "Chairman Li, you are..."

I interrupted him before he could finish his words. "Mr. Zhong, I know my father has let you down, but I am desperate now. I only ask you to give me a job. I am willing to do anything..."

I said this almost in a pleading tone, but there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. My heart was in my throat, waiting for his verdict.
