Mr Fu, I Really Love You
chapter-980

"Even if I was really at fault, I really dare not own up to the term 'b*tch'!"

Chu Xun clenched her fists tightly by her sides, and her voice started quivering too. "You weren't there at the time… You didn't see people shot with a gun and falling before you with your own eyes, and you didn't see brains splatter around you! Of course you can easily feel that I should have been a tough cookie and refused to look towards Lu Xiangsi!"

"But have you considered that the fear of death is instinctive to humans? I never thought of pointing out Lu Xiangsi to escape death myself, I merely subconsciously glanced at her because of my innate fear. That's all! Anyone in my shoes would have this reaction when scared. If it were someone else, they might have been so frightened that they would have even pointed out Lu Xiangsi and the baby! But I didn't! What right do you have to harp on my tiny misgiving and refuse to let me off? You didn't even experience something like that yourself! Who among you can understand how I felt at that instant? What right do you have to call me a b*tch? What right do you have to force me to a dead end?"

On the other end, Bai Xiaonian had tapped on speaker mode, so Lu Jinnan could hear Chu Xun's words perfectly clearly.

Lu Jinnan initially didn't want to speak more with Chu Xun, but he couldn't hold back his anger, so he grabbed the phone from Bai Xiaonian and put the mouthpiece to his lips. Lu Jinnan's low and raspy voice could be heard…

"I'm flattering you by calling you a b*tch! No one would despise you for glancing in Lu Xiangsi's direction because of your fear of death. You still don't understand the true reason people despise you! What people truly despise you for, is after Lu Xiangsi and her husband saved you and took care of you, you completely forgot about the care you received from them in Iraq. In order to obtain a glory that didn't belong to you, you completely erased them from your past, as if they had never existed in your life…"

"On the other hand, Old Fu, who went to rescue Lu Xiangsi and Jiang Ming'an, became an irreplaceable character in your script after you succeeded! Why? Very simple… because you like Old Fu! You want to obtain Old Fu! As for the dead Lu Xiangsi and Jiang Ming'an, they're unimportant to you now. If Tuan Tuan's birth mother wasn't Lu Xiangsi, if Old Fu hadn't become Tuan Tuan's father, I guess… you wouldn't even take another look at Tuan Tuan!"

Lu Jinnan saw right through Chu Xun…

Yes, if Chu Xun wasn't attracted to the masculine Fu Huai'an on the helicopter, she might have forgotten about Tuan Tuan's existence.

When she boarded the helicopter and saw Fu Huai'an sitting next to her and the baby in his arms, only then did she recall Lu Xiangsi. Because of this one line, "Is this Xiangsi's child?"

Chu Xun started a conversation with Fu Huai'an…

That was why Chu Xun was so concerned about Tuan Tuan!

"You said that the fear of death is instinctive to humans, then what about Lin Nuan? Like you, she received the care of Lu Xiangsi. Like you, she merely interacted with Lu Xiangsi for a few short days. Like you, she personally saw someone falling before her, saw brains splattering everywhere. You guys went through the same thing! But… she remembered her debt of gratitude towards Lu Xiangsi, risking her life to protect Lu Xiangsi's child! To put it frankly, you're a person who is selfish to her bones. You're an entirely different breed of person than Lin Nuan. This is why Old Fu loves Lin Nuan deeply and ignores you!"

Chu Xun's eyes reddened. She couldn't say anything for a long time…

"If you have nothing to say, then I'm hanging up. Stop calling me in the future!"

Chu Xun opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But ultimately, nothing came out. She had always been eloquent, but at this moment, she couldn't find any excuse to justify herself.

Because Lu Jinnan had exposed the thoughts she had been unwilling to admit to. Other than embarrassment, the more intense feelings she had were panic and trepidation.

The color of blood drained from Chu Xun's face. She awkwardly hung up the phone, her heart constantly sinking, feeling that there was nothing she could count on anymore…

Even though what she knew about the video's contents came from hearsay, looking at how Lu Jinnan didn't even want to answer her call, Chu Xun knew that the contents of the video were extremely disadvantageous to her.

Even Lu Jinnan had this attitude towards her, much less Fu Huai'an, who used to be Lu Xiangsi's lover.

Chu Xun sat on the sofa distractedly. Before she could regain her composure, she heard someone opening the door of her condo. Chu Xun stood up and looked towards the door, her brain still in a dazed state and yet to recover…

Chu Xun lived by herself and didn't tell anyone about it, so why would someone be opening her door?

Break-in robbery?

Chu Xun, who returned to her senses, grabbed her phone and ran towards her bedroom, locking it from inside. She pulled out a gun from the bedside table and held it with quivering hands. She then ran into the bathroom and cautiously locked the door and hid in the bathtub before calling the police!

Although she was wielding a gun, she had never used one before, so she was terribly nervous…

The phone call got through, and Chu Xun said in a hushed voice, "Hello, I need assistance. I'm calling from Manhattan East Street 53 Number 100 Condo 14-12, I.. Someone seems to be breaking into my apartment. I'm in the bathroom now, very frightened! I need your assistance!"

"She's in the bathroom!"

Hearing this voice, Chu Xun felt a chill in her bones, and all the hair on her body stood up. Her mind blanked out, and all she could hear was a "weng" sound ringing in her head.

Why was the person on the other end of the line reacting like this when she was calling the police for help?

An inauspicious feeling welled up inside her. From the sounds of it, Chu Xun could tell that the bedroom door had already been opened…

The instant that the bathroom door was knocked down, Chu Xun felt like she heard death knocking. She didn't even dare to fire the gun. It was as if she was transported to that morning in Iraq, when the terrorists grabbed her collar and pointed a gun at her forehead.

Robbed of her gun, Chu Xun couldn't even utter a sound to shout for help!

She gazed at the people who barged in with a gun with a look of despair, helpless as to what to do…

Chu Xun's face was numb with fear. It was only when she was dragged out of the bathroom that she finally managed to react. "Who are you people?"

Chu Xun's voice was full of trepidation…

"What do you want to do? Break-in robbery?"

No one answered Chu Xun. She could tell that the leader was a man with a burn scar on his face. He was chewing gum and appeared calm and cold.

"You're the boss? What do you want? I'm the second missy of the Chu Group. My family's enterprise is huge… I can give you as much money as you want! I know the rules and won't call the police. You can take the money and leave… How much do you want! Name your price!"

Chu Xun's legs had turned to jelly, but she forced herself to pretend she wasn't scared as she negotiated with them.

The man with a burn scar chewed his gum as he walked to Chu Xun, an impatient look on his face. He pinched Chu Xun's chin with a gloved hand, squinting his eyes as he sized Chu Xun up as if she was merchandise…
