Chapter 7: A Woeful Reunion (1)

  "Director Chu, there is an express delivery for you at the company's front desk, would you mind coming over to collect it?"

  Ten minutes later——

  "Chu Zui......Oh, your express delivery is here."

  Chu Zui smiled and took it over, thanking him while carefully holding the large box in his arms.

  This is a set of crystal tableware sent by her good sister from the UK, which is not expensive but hard to buy. She had queued up to buy it when she was studying in the UK, but never got it. As a result, her best friend in the UK remembered her liking and bought it for her and express mailed it over.

  She was carrying a box and about to enter the elevator when she suddenly turned her head, looking around at the crowd's solemn faces. Her gaze naturally shifted towards the revolving door where a group of people were entering. Then, her eyes seemed to be stuck in place, unable to move.

  "Good morning, Mr. He."

  Chu Zui thought that she would never see He Yancen again, the man she had tried to push out of her life.

  She suddenly turned her head around and buried her entire face in the express box, her thin arms holding the box uncontrollably trembling.

  Is it really him?

  It turned out that he was the General He mentioned by Linlin, who pulled Shangshi back from its low point to a high position. The General He, who was wise beyond his peers, ruthless in his methods, and swift in his actions, had won the admiration of everyone in the company and even the entire industry. It turned out that he was also the fiancé of Shangshi's thousand-golden girl...

  The suffocating feeling in her chest almost made it hard for her to breathe, perhaps the box was too heavy. Chu Zui closed her eyes and suddenly turned around to press the elevator button. She knew he hadn't seen her, she wanted to leave quickly and not be discovered. But she clearly heard the footsteps coming towards her from behind, and that familiar scent of cleanliness getting closer and closer.

  "Mr He, there's a private elevator over there, you don't have to ride this one with the employees."

  He Yan Chen didn't say a word and just walked step by step towards Chu Zui's direction.

  "Isn't there a man in the company? How can you let a woman move such heavy things?" A clear and magnetic voice slowly sounded from behind, Chu Zui's whole body stiffened, her head hung even lower, carefully leaning towards the elevator.

  At this moment, several male employees rushed forward from behind He Yan to take over the things in Chu Zui's hands.

  Chu Zui stumbled backward in surprise and muttered: "No need, this is my own express delivery, it won't sink."

  As she spoke, she took another step back towards the elevator door, accompanied by a sudden burst of shouts from all around: "Be careful---"

  But it was too late, Chu Zui didn't expect the elevator to return to the first floor so quickly. In the instant the door opened, she lost her balance and fell into the elevator with a loud crash, along with the suitcase in her hand.

  "Crash——" A burst of shattering sound, accompanied by Chu Zui's heart breaking into a mess, the express box cracked open a long seam, and the crystal tableware fragments scattered all over the floor, with two pieces scratching her arm, fresh blood dripping down her white arm, staining the carpet under her.

  "How are you?"

  "Are you okay?" The concerned voices around her drew near one by one, but Chu Zui just wanted to lock herself in a corner and see no one.

  The box didn't just contain that set of tableware. In her panic, Chu Zui only caught a glimpse of the scattered photos and frames, on which were Xinxin's innocent smiling face. Oh no, these were the children's portraits they had taken especially for Xinxin before returning to China, how coincidental that they were put in the box and sent over!

  "Director Chu!" someone recognized her: "Oh no, what's all this? How did it break?! Ah, you're bleeding—"

  She sat on the ground in disarray, her head hung low, turning around to block the scattered photos and frames with her body, when suddenly a warmth spread across her arm as someone gently grasped it.
