The CEO's Woman

It had been three years since they had started living in the Jiang's mansion.

Although the circumstances at that time had earned them scorn and disgust, she, Lu Shi, didn't care. Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming were in love. In fact, they had been together since childhood. However, Jiang Chanming married Wang Rou to elevate the Jiang Family.

Lu Shi was aggrieved at first. Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming grew up together. Lu Shi couldn't take the fact that Jiang Chanming would marry another woman. She always thought that she would would be his wife. So she decided to sleep with him only days before he got married. Jiang Chanming got hooked and it didn't just stop at a one-time affair. They continued seeing each other even after Jiang Chanming's wedding to Wang Rou. .

When Wang Rou had discovered their affair, Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming already had a five year old daughter. They thought a divorce was coming. They waited and waited, but Wang Rou didn't file for a divorce nor let the Wang Family know of her grievances. To Lu Shi's delight, Wang Rou even distanced herself from Jiang Chanming.

Months later, after the discovery of the affair, Jiang Chanming fumed with rage when they found that all of Wang Rou's property and company shares were transferred to her daughter's name. That included all her business affiliations.

In all honesty, Lu Shi also wasn't happy with what Wang Rou did. The Lu Family is just a simple merchant family. She thought that Jiang Chanming would receive some of Wang Rou's inheritance if they separated. But lo and behold, that woman had the guts to give everything to her only daughter, Jiang Yue.

However, with their current circumstances, Lu Shi was forced to swallow her anger and instead planned of ways to get rid of that loathsome woman.

And she succeeded. Lu Shi couldn't help but smile to herself. Wang Rou is dead, but her daughter still lives. How unfortunate. Still, she always had the chance to entice Jiang Yue to give some of her inheritance to her stepsister Jiang Mian. An evil smile slowly made its way onto her face. 'Or I could just get rid of her,' she thought.

"Madam… Madam… Hurry. Madam!" She was startled by a panting maidservant.

"Fe'er what is your problem? Are you planning to give me a heart attack?"

"Madam. The young miss… The young miss has arrived." Fe'er was holding her chest while speaking as if she had just run for her life.

"Eh? So, what is the matter? What are you panicking for?" Lu Shi inquired. She was thinking of her daughter Jiang Mian. Her daughter had been studying for the National Higher Educational Entrance exam. It was normal for her to come home and spend the night in the mansion instead of going to her dormitory to study.

"No Madam. It's the Eldest Miss, Jiang Yue. She is here."

The mention of Jiang Yue's name made Lu Shi tremble. How could it not? She had just been plotting to kill her a while ago.

"What did you say? Jiang Yue? Where is she? Quickly show me…" Lu Shi had been tending to her flowers in the terraces at the back of the mansion. It was a long walk, so she had to hasten her footsteps to save some time.

She couldn't help but curse. How come Jiang Yue arrived without letting anyone know? Jiang Chanming is not here. He was doing business overseas and would be back home by tomorrow. She gritted her teeth in annoyance.

She was panting when she arrived at the Veranda where Jiang Yue was sitting elegantly while reading a book in another language and sipping tea. Lu Shi calmed herself before speaking to announce her presence.

"Jiang Yue? How come you didn't tell us that you will be coming? We would have prepared something," Lu Shi said. Her tone would make a stranger think that she was speaking to someone she knew well.

Jiang Yue tore her eyes away from her book and looked at her. Lu Shi gasped in astonishment. The girl before her was very beautiful. No: to say that Jiang Yue was beautiful was an understatement.

She looked like a deity. Jiang Yue had long hair, with dark roots that transitioned to beautifully colored gray. Slender eyebrows matched with curly eyelashes. She had a tall and long nose and pink full lips. And her most noticeable feature was her deep-seated gray eyes that she inherited from her mother, Wang Rou.

Jiang Yue looked at her from head to toe,questions apparent in her eyes.

Then she lifted her brow and asked, "and you are...?"
