Chapter 57 Firm Faith

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the familiar community, I took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out. Qin Xue was already waiting anxiously at the entrance, and when she saw me return safely, she rushed up excitedly and hugged me.

"Luo Xue, you scared me to death! Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me?" Qin Xue's voice was heavily nasal, and I knew she was worried.

I patted her back gently and comforted her softly, "I'm sorry, Qin Xue, I made you worry. I just need some time to think about it alone."

Qin Xue let go of me and looked at me carefully. Seeing the determination in my eyes, she seemed to understand something. She didn't ask any more questions, but just held my hand tightly to give me strength.

After returning to Qin Xue's house, I took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Looking at the familiar self in the mirror, I felt like I had been reborn, with confidence and determination in my eyes. I was no longer the weak and helpless Li Luoxue. I would rely on my own efforts to win the respect of everyone.

"Ding Dong—" the doorbell rang, Qin Xue went to open the door, and I heard her surprised voice: "Yuxuan? Why are you here?"

My heart trembled suddenly, and I subconsciously wanted to hide, but Qin Xue grabbed me. "Luo Xue is back, you should explain it to her."

Zhong Yuxuan rushed in like a gust of wind, and when he saw me sitting on the sofa safely, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He strode up to me and hugged me tightly in his arms, with such force that he almost crushed me.

"Luo Xue, you scared me to death! Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone? Do you know how worried I was about you?" His voice was hoarse and trembling, full of self-blame and fear.

I was held tightly by him, feeling the warmth from his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, and my eyes could not help but well up. The grievances, helplessness, and hesitations during this period of time all turned into tears and burst out at this moment.

"Yuxuan, I'm sorry for making you worry." I choked up and said, "I just need some time to be alone."

Zhong Yuxuan let me go and held my face, his eyes gentle and affectionate. "Luo Xue, don't leave me again, okay? I can't live without you."

His affectionate confession touched me, but also made me more sober. I took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "Yuxuan, thank you for your love for me. But there are some things I must figure out..."

I looked into Zhong Yuxuan's deep eyes, and those sweet memories came flooding back like a tide, almost drowning me. But I knew clearly that there were some things I had to face and solve. "Yuxuan, I understand your feelings, and I really appreciate your love and trust in me. However, I can't hide under your wings forever. I need to rely on my own strength and stand by you uprightly, instead of being pointed at and told that I am not worthy of you."

My tone was firm, and my eyes showed an unprecedented tenacity. Zhong Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect me to say such a thing. He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, held my hand, and said seriously: "Luo Xue, I understand your thoughts. Don't worry, I will always be by your side to support you and accompany you to face all difficulties together."

His support gave me great strength. I knew I was not fighting alone.

A few days later, I unexpectedly received a call from Zhong Shuhao, who asked me to go to the company. I was nervous, not knowing what tricks he would play. But this time, I would not avoid him again, I would face him bravely.

Walking into Zhong Shuhao's office, I was surprised to find that his face no longer had the contempt and disdain of the past, but instead had a hint of appreciation and approval. "Luo Xue, sit down." He said calmly, motioning me to sit down.

"I know you've been through a lot during this period, and I've seen changes in you." Zhong Shuhao put down the documents in his hand and looked at me deeply. "You are stronger and more capable than I thought. I believe you can handle your own affairs."

I was surprised by Zhong Shuhao's change of attitude, but I was more relieved. I straightened my back and said firmly: "Mr. Zhong, thank you for your recognition. I will work hard to prove my ability and will not let you down."

I felt relieved when I left Zhong Shuhao's office. I knew that I had taken an important step. I would no longer let anyone control my destiny. I would rely on my own efforts to win the respect of everyone, including myself.

However, things often develop unexpectedly. That night, I received a call from an unfamiliar number. Li Luoyao's sharp and piercing voice came from the other end of the phone, with undisguised anger and jealousy...

On the other end of the phone, Li Luoyao's voice was sharp and piercing, scraping my eardrums like broken glass. "Li Luoxue, you still have the nerve to come back! Do you think you can escape everything by hiding abroad? I tell you, you will always be a fake, a thief who stole my life!"

I found her hysteria both ridiculous and pathetic. I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Li Luoyao, we both know the truth. I never thought of stealing your life. You destroyed everything with your own hands."

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Luoyao interrupted me with a sharp voice, "If it weren't for you, how could I be kicked out of the house and lose everything! Li Luoxue, I won't let you go, I'm going to make you pay the price!"

Her words were full of malice and resentment, and I knew she would not let it go. But I am no longer the Li Luoxue who was manipulated by others, and I will not let her have the chance to hurt me again.

"What do you want to do?" I asked calmly.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then Li Luoyao's cold laughter came. "You will know soon, I will ruin your reputation and make you lose everything!"

After that, she hung up the phone angrily. I held the phone, frowning. I knew that Li Luoyao must be plotting something again, but I would not sit still and wait for death. I would be ready to meet her challenge.

A few days later, the company held an important business reception, and I attended as Zhong Yuxuan's assistant. At the reception, there were many people drinking and chatting, and celebrities from all walks of life gathered together. I accompanied Zhong Yuxuan conscientiously and handled various social events.

Suddenly, a partner hurriedly walked up to Zhong Yuxuan and said in a panic: "Mr. Zhong, it's bad, our product samples have been swapped!"

Zhong Yuxuan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. It was fine just now, but now..." The partner's face was full of anxiety and his speech was a little incoherent.

Seeing this, I immediately stepped forward and said calmly, "Please don't worry and tell me the details."

After learning the details, I quickly launched an investigation and used my professional knowledge and keen observation to quickly identify the suspect. I acted decisively, exposed the suspect's conspiracy, and successfully recovered the swapped product samples.

My wit and courage won the applause of everyone present, and also made Zhong Yuxuan look at me with new eyes. There was a gleam of admiration in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile.

However, I didn't know that a bigger test was yet to come...

After the cocktail party, I rubbed my brows tiredly, and when I turned around, I bumped into a pair of deep eyes. Zhong Yuxuan stood behind me, with a slight smile on his face and an incredibly gentle look in his eyes. "You performed very well, I am very satisfied." His deep voice was filled with a hint of appreciation, which made me relax from my originally nervous mood.

"Thank you." I responded in a low voice, but he grabbed my wrist and took me to the center of the crowd.

"Everyone, please allow me to delay you for a few minutes." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention. I looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do, but he just held my hand tightly, his eyes firm and gentle.

"Today, I want to introduce a very important person to you. She is the most precious treasure in my life." He looked at me affectionately and said word by word, "She is Li Luoxue, the woman I love deeply."

The crowd burst into exclamations, and I was so shocked that my eyes widened and my heart beat wildly. I never thought that he would publicize our relationship so publicly, and I never thought that he would say such affectionate words in front of so many people.

"I know that she has endured a lot of grievances and pressure during this period of time, but she has always been strong and brave, and has proved herself with her own abilities." He gently stroked my cheek, his eyes full of heartache and love, "Luo Xue, thank you, thank you for appearing in my life, thank you for all the joy and happiness you have brought me."

His voice was gentle but firm, as if he was announcing his love for me to the whole world. My eyes were instantly moistened, and the tears blurred my vision, but they could not stop the emotion and happiness that surged in my heart.

I hugged him tightly, buried my head in his chest, and felt his strong heartbeat. At this moment, I finally understood what true love and happiness are.

"I love you, Luo Xue. I will always be by your side, supporting your dreams and protecting your smile." His voice whispered in my ear, like a touching love song, warming my heart.

"I believe you." I raised my head, looked at him with tearful eyes, with a happy smile on my lips.

After so many ups and downs, our love finally saw the light of day. I firmly believe that as long as we love each other, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward.

However, at this moment, I received a courier with a blank sender address. Inside was an old book with no words on the cover, only an exquisite family emblem. I suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, as if this mysterious book would reveal a long-forgotten secret, and this secret might be related to my life experience...

Zhong Yuxuan's confession was like a golden ray of sunshine, dispelling the haze that had enveloped my heart for many days. I was immersed in this sudden joy and almost forgot all the grievances and uneasiness before.

However, the feeling of happiness is always short-lived.

Just then, a courier squeezed through the crowd, holding an inconspicuous package in his hand, looking around for who was "Miss Li Luoxue". My heart skipped a beat, and I subconsciously looked at Zhong Yuxuan. He frowned slightly and motioned for me to take the package.

"Who sent it?" he asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible hint of vigilance in his tone.

I shook my head. There was no sender information on the package, only a string of unfamiliar addresses. I hesitantly opened the package, and there was only an old book inside. There was no text on the cover, only an exquisite family emblem printed on it.

That badge felt strangely familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where.

"What is this?" Zhong Yuxuan also noticed the badge. He reached out to turn the page of the book, but I subconsciously dodged him.

"I don't know..." My voice trembled a little. An inexplicable uneasiness surged in my heart. I tightly grasped the book, as if grasping a life-saving straw. "I want to read it alone."

Zhong Yuxuan looked at me deeply and said nothing more. He just patted my shoulder gently, indicating that I don’t need to worry.

I found a quiet corner and opened the old book. The pages were yellowed and smelled faintly musty. The words inside were also very old, like some long-lost language.

I couldn't understand a single word, but I couldn't help turning the pages one by one, as if I was attracted by some invisible force.

Suddenly, a photo stuck in the book fell out. I picked it up and saw a young woman in a gorgeous dress, with a bit of my shadow in her eyes and eyebrows.

Next to the woman stood a man in military uniform. He had a firm gaze and a serious expression, and he was holding a swaddled baby in his arms.

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an indescribable feeling came over me. I had a strong premonition that the woman and child in the photo might have some inextricable connection with me.

What secrets does this mysterious book hide? What is the relationship between my life experience and the woman and child in the photo?

I was eager to solve these mysteries, but I found myself at a loss. I needed more clues and more information to piece together this long-forgotten past.

I closed the book and held it tightly in my arms, as if it was my only hope. I knew that my life was about to undergo a huge change, and all of this came from this mysterious book.
