The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 79: Continued Bullying

In the file bag was a paternity test report, and the result clearly stated: The DNA match between Li Luoyao and Li's parents is 99.99%, but I, Li Luoxue, have no blood relationship with them.

My head exploded with a buzzing sound, and my body was shaky. If Zhong Yuxuan hadn't held me up in time, I would have collapsed to the ground. Li Luoyao looked at me triumphantly, as if she was enjoying a good show. "How is it? Are you satisfied with this gift?" She smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her tone full of sarcasm, "Now everyone knows that you are a fake, how can you still stay here?"

I bit my lips so hard that they almost bled. I knew that Li Luoyao came here today just to embarrass me, and she succeeded. My heart felt like it was cut by a knife, the pain was unbearable.

At this time, the door of the Zhong family villa opened, and Zhong Yuxuan's father, Zhong Shuhao, walked in. He saw the scene in the living room and frowned slightly. "What's going on?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Uncle Zhong, you're here just in time." Li Luoyao immediately put on an aggrieved expression, ran to Zhong Shuhao, pointed at me and said, "She, she's a fake! She's not the daughter of the Li family at all!"

Zhong Shuhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at me with a complicated look in his eyes. I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say. I couldn't explain it. This paternity test report was like a mountain, weighing me down.

"Luo Xue, what's going on?" Zhong Shuhao's voice showed no emotion.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I was about to explain, but Li Luoyao beat me to it. "Uncle Zhong, don't listen to her excuses! This paternity test is fake!"

I looked at her in disbelief. She was actually confusing right and wrong and clearing herself of all charges?

"Luoyao, that's enough!" Zhong Yuxuan roared, protecting me behind him, looking at Li Luoyao coldly, "What do you want?"

"What do I want? I just want to expose her true colors!" Li Luoyao fought back without showing any weakness, "Zhong Yuxuan, don't be fooled by her. She is a scheming woman!"

Zhong Shuhao's expression became more and more ugly. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, stop talking!"

Although his tone was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty. Li Luoyao wanted to say something, but seeing Zhong Shuhao's eyes, she could only shut her mouth unwillingly.

"Luo Xue, go back to your room and rest first." Zhong Shuhao said to me lightly.

I nodded and turned to walk upstairs. In everyone's eyes, my back looked lonely and helpless.

I returned to my room and sat on the bed helplessly, tears silently falling. Who am I? Why do I have no blood relationship with the Li family? What is going on?

"Luo Xue, don't cry." Zhong Yuxuan's voice sounded behind me, and he gently hugged me in his arms, "I believe you."

His embrace was warm and safe, and it comforted me. I hugged him tightly, buried my head in his chest, and let my tears soak his clothes.

"I will get to the bottom of it all." Zhong Yuxuan patted my back gently, his tone firm but gentle.

I raised my head, looked at him with tearful eyes, and nodded. I believed him, he would find the truth for me and clear my name. Zhong Yuxuan's embrace and words, like the warm sun in winter, briefly dispelled the haze in my heart. I took a deep breath and forced the tears back into my eyes. I couldn't be defeated like this, I had to cheer myself up, find out everything, and clear my name!

"I'm fine, Yuxuan." I tried to force a smile and stepped out of his arms. "Thank you. I believe you will find the truth."

Zhong Yuxuan looked at me, his eyes full of heartache and determination. "Don't worry, Luo Xue, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

In the next few days, I forced myself to calm down and pretend that nothing had happened, and went to work and lived as usual. I knew that now was not the time to break up with Li Luoyao. I needed to find enough evidence to expose her true face.

However, Li Luoyao did not intend to let me go. She used her family connections to create various obstacles for me at work. An important project I was responsible for was originally progressing smoothly, but because of her obstruction, the partner suddenly withdrew its investment and the project was forced to stagnate.

"Li Luoxue, look at what you've done!" The project manager threw a document in front of me and shouted angrily, "The company has spent so much manpower and material resources, and now you tell me that the project is dead? How do you do things?"

I picked up the document and read it carefully. My face turned pale. The content of this document was clearly tampered with, which caused serious deviations in the data and led to misunderstandings among partners. And the final person who handled this document was Li Luoyao!

I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in my heart, and calmly said to the project manager: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you and the company an explanation."

"Find out? How can you find out?" The project manager sneered, "Now the cooperation has been terminated, it's useless even if you find out!"

I bit my lip and said nothing. I knew that this matter was extremely disadvantageous to me. If I couldn't find evidence to prove my innocence in time, I would be fired by the company and even have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

After get off work, I was walking home alone with a heavy heart. Just then, my cell phone rang suddenly. It was Zhong Yuxuan calling.

"Luo Xue, where are you? I'll pick you up." There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

I told him my location and waited quietly. Not long after, a black car stopped in front of me, and Zhong Yuxuan got out of the car with worry in his eyes.

"What happened? Why do you look so unhappy?" He opened the car door, let me get in, and asked with concern.

I told him what happened today, my tone full of helplessness. "Yuxuan, what should I do? I feel like a prey trapped in a spider web. No matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape Li Luoyao's control..."

Zhong Yuxuan held my hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Don't worry, Luo Xue, I will protect you. Since Li Luoyao dared to do this, she must have left some evidence. I will find evidence and make her pay the price!"

Zhong Yuxuan's promise was like a reassurance, which slightly calmed my anxiety. I returned to the villa and spent the night in anxiety. Li Luoyao's shadow always loomed over me, making me unable to feel truly at ease.

The next day at work, I clearly felt that the atmosphere in the company had become a little strange. My colleagues looked at me with a little strangeness, and the whispers increased. I tried to stay calm and pretend that nothing had happened, but I felt more and more uneasy.

At noon in the tea room, I heard several colleagues talking.

"Hey, have you heard about it? It seems that the project that Li Luoxue was in charge of caused the partner to withdraw its investment because of her work mistakes, and the company suffered heavy losses!"

"Is this true? No way? She usually looks smart and capable, how could she make such a stupid mistake?"

"Who knows? Maybe she had a brain short circuit due to too much pressure? But I heard that this incident has become a big deal. The company's top management is furious and wants to hold her accountable. She might even be fired!"

"Really? That's too tragic, isn't it? Oh, what a pity..."

My hand holding the coffee cup was shaking slightly, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe. These rumors were like sharp knives, piercing my heart fiercely. I knew that it was Li Luoyao who was behind this, and she wanted to completely destroy me!

I suppressed my anger and grievance, returned to the office, and tried to concentrate on my work. However, those rumors were like a lingering haze, always hanging over my heart, making it impossible for me to calm down.

In the evening, Zhong Yuxuan came to pick me up from get off work. He saw that something was wrong with me and asked with concern: "Luo Xue, what's wrong with you? Did someone in the company make things difficult for you?"

I shook my head, not wanting to worry him, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"Don't lie to me. You look so bad. Something must have happened." Zhong Yuxuan looked at me distressedly and said firmly, "Tell me, what happened? Who bullied you?"

I hesitated for a moment, but finally told him what happened in the company.

"That's too much! This Li Luoyao is really going too far!" Zhong Yuxuan flew into a rage after hearing my story. "Don't worry, I won't let her succeed! I've already sent someone to investigate her, and I believe there will be results soon."

I nodded, feeling a little more at ease. With Zhong Yuxuan by my side, I felt like I had grabbed a life-saving straw, no longer feeling so helpless and scared.

However, I didn't know that a bigger storm was waiting for me...

Zhong Yuxuan's investigation results came out quickly. It turned out that those rumors were spread by Li Luoyao, and even the project failure was secretly tampered by her. I looked at the evidence and felt a chill running from the soles of my feet to my heart. How could she be so vicious?

I thought that Li Luoyao would be more restrained after the truth was revealed, but I underestimated her shamelessness. At noon that day, I just came out of the tea room and ran into Li Luoyao surrounded by a group of colleagues. She was holding the latest Hermès in her hands, and the smell of perfume on her body was almost enough to make people faint.

"Oh, this bag is limited worldwide. Only someone like Miss Luo Yao can get it, right?"

"Yes, yes, this color, this leather, it's obvious that it's very valuable!"

Listening to the compliments around her, Li Luoyao's face was full of pride. She glanced at me casually, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"Some people, no matter how hard they try, can never climb up the ladder. Unlike me, I was born to have it all."

I clenched my fists, my nails dug deep into my palms, the stinging pain made me stay calm. I told myself not to argue with her and just do my own thing.

In the following days, Li Luoyao showed off her wealth and status in front of me, as if to remind me how big the gap between us was. She even deliberately snatched away the projects I was responsible for, leaving me in an awkward situation with nothing to do.

Although I was filled with humiliation and anger, I knew that my forbearance at this moment was for future counterattacks. I began to work harder in private to find Li Luoyao's flaws. I just didn't believe that she could be so proud forever!

Finally, I found a key clue. As long as I could seize this opportunity, I could completely crush Li Luoyao's lies and make her pay for what she did. However, just when I was full of hope and thought I was about to see Li Luoyao's true face, a huge blow came head-on...

I finally found evidence that Li Luoyao embezzled public funds. The flow of funds was complicated, but she was careless and left a flaw. I stayed up all night and finally connected all the clues. I am waiting to give this evidence to Zhong Yuxuan tomorrow.

I seemed to see Li Luoyao's mask being torn apart, revealing her greedy and ugly true face. I could even imagine her panic-stricken look, which would be the pleasure of revenge that I had suppressed for a long time.

However, fate always seems to play jokes on me.

The next morning, before I could even leave the house, my father called me into his study. He handed me a document with a serious look on his face and said in a heavy tone, "Luo Xue, the company has had some problems with capital turnover recently. Please revise this plan."

I opened the file and was struck by lightning. This plan was the evidence that I had compiled late at night that Li Luoyao had embezzled public funds! However, all the evidence pointed to me, and Li Luoyao became the hero who "discovered the problem in time and saved the company's losses"!

"Dad, this..." I looked at my father in disbelief. Could it be that he was also deceived by Li Luoyao?

"Luo Xue, I know you've been wronged," his father rubbed his brow tiredly, "but this matter concerns the reputation of the Li family. Just think of it as your father's and bear with it."

My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe. This was my father, who could easily sacrifice his daughter's innocence for the sake of the family's interests!

I walked out of the study room in a daze and bumped into Li Luoyao. She was wearing a flamboyant red dress today, with a winner's smile on her face, as if she was laughing at my overestimation of my abilities.

"Hey, isn't this our great hero, Miss Li?" She covered her lips in surprise, "Why do you look so bad? Did you work too hard staying up late last night?"

I looked at her coldly and said word by word: "Li Luoyao, don't be too proud too soon. One day, you will pay the price for what you have done!"

Li Luoyao's smile froze for a moment, then she returned to her arrogant look: "I'm waiting for that day, but before that, you should think about how to clear yourself of suspicion. After all, embezzlement of public funds is no small matter, and you might end up in jail!"

After that, she walked away in her high heels, leaving me standing there alone, cold all over. I clenched my fists tightly, my nails dug deep into my flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.

I know this is just the beginning of Li Luoyao's revenge, and a bigger storm is still to come. And I have no way to retreat.
