In the private room, Lu Kenian was already sitting on the sofa, with two cups of coffee placed on the table.
"I didn't know what you liked, so I got one cappuccino and one latte. You can choose."
"I'm fine with either."
Chu Yun sat down and took out a small, exquisite transparent jar from her bag.
"This is a coffee companion that Cold Thunder brought back from Germany. Give it a try." As Chu Yun spoke, she opened the transparent jar and poured some into the coffee cup.
Lu Kenian watched her movements closely; she added it to both cups of coffee, so there shouldn't be any problem.
" Lu Kenian, I know you're probably feeling uncomfortable. I wanted to stop Cold Thunder from doing this too, but he cares about me too much, so..."
Chu Yun smiled gently but didn't finish her sentence.
Lu Kenian understood perfectly well.
"It's been three years already; I don't want to mention him today." Lu Kenian took a gentle sip from the coffee cup.
"Alright, let's not talk about him."
In Lu Kenian's eyes, Chu Yun was still as obedient and gentle as she had been back then; she didn't seem like someone who could mistreat Cold Haocheng.
Could it be that Cold Haocheng was really lying?
"Then let's talk about Xiao Bei. You can rest assured; I don't have Fertility. Xiao Bei is my only son and my entire hope. I will take very good care of him."
Lu Kenian pondered while sipping the coffee.
Chu Yun also picked up her coffee and started to drink.
"Chu Yun, I'll be straightforward. I saw Xiao Bei at the kindergarten today, and he had a lot of injuries; he was beaten by someone."
Chu Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really? I had no idea! The servants usually watch over him, but this child is too mischievous. Even so, those servants shouldn't hit him! Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this when I get back! Whoever dares to hit my Xiao Bei, I will not let them off easily!"
Lu Kenian looked at Chu Yun's anxious and helpless expression, unsure if she was pretending or if it was genuine.
"But he said it was you."
"How is that possible? How could I ever hit him?" Chu Yun slammed her hand on the table in indignation.
Lu Kenian suddenly felt dizzy, and the things in front of her began to blur.
"He really... said that, I..."
"Oh, is that so? Then what he said must be true, right?" Chu Yun leaned back on the sofa as if shedding all pretense.
"What... what are you saying?"
Lu Kenian shook her head and rubbed her temples, trying to clear her mind.
However, the objects before her began to double, intertwining and overlapping.
The more she tried to see clearly, the less she could make sense of it.
With a thud, she collapsed onto the table and became still.
Chu Yun let out a cold laugh, "Am I still the little bunny from back then? What a joke!"
---
In a dark and damp warehouse, a bucket of cold water was splashed onto Lu Kenian's face.
When Lu Kenian woke up again, she found herself in a completely dark and unfamiliar place, tied to a chair and unable to move.
"Awake? You can't handle such a small amount of medicine; what do you think you can use to compete with me? Hahaha—"
Chu Yun's high-pitched laughter echoed eerily in the empty warehouse.
"You put sleeping pills in the coffee? But I clearly saw you put some in your own cup too, and you drank it!"
"If I didn't put a little in my own cup, how would you fall for it so easily? I did drink it, but I only took a light sip. Lu Kenian, you really are foolish!"
Chu Yun slapped Lu Kenian's face hard.
"The injuries on Xiao Bei were caused by you, right?" Lu Kenian stared intently at Chu Yun.
She truly underestimated this woman!
With a gentle and submissive face, who would have thought she was a sheep in wolf's clothing?
"Yes! I did it! So what? All the grievances I've suffered at the hands of the Cold Family will be repaid on their grandson. Is there anything wrong with that?!"
Chu Yun's face twisted with rage as she recalled the humiliations she had endured!
"He is the only leverage you have left in the Cold Family! You can't have children anymore! You can't be a mother! Are you—"
"So what if I am? What if I'm not good to him? As long as others know I'm good to him, isn't that enough? I told Lu Kenian that every time my mother-in-law annoys me, your son becomes my punching bag. I poke his soft little bottom with needles, like a little hedgehog. Do you know how cute that looks? Hahaha..."
"You—" Lu Kenian struggled fiercely, but the ropes were tied too tightly; her efforts only made them dig in deeper.
Lu Kenian glared at Chu Yun, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell the Cold Thunder?"
"Oh? You want to tell the Cold Thunder? However, you probably won't have that chance anymore."
Chu Yun grabbed Lu Kenian's hair and forced her to look up.
"Because this time next year will be your death anniversary!"
Lu Kenian's eyes widened in shock.
"What? What do you want to do?"
Chu Yun's lips curled into a smile, "Kill you!"
"You dare! Murder is a crime! If you take a life, I don't believe the Cold Family will protect you!" Lu Kenian shouted angrily.
" Lu Kenian, you're really naive. Do you think I'd just kill you like that?"
Chu Yun burst into laughter.
A hint of terror flashed in Lu Kenian's eyes; this woman—
"Perhaps in a couple of days, the headlines will read: 'A woman was raped and, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself.'"
Lu Kenian stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend the situation. The person who once always appeared as innocent as a little rabbit, Chu Yun, could actually do something like this!
“ Lu Kenian, I initially wanted to leave you a way out, but you just had to come back! Why did you return? Isn’t it just to take your son back and also grab Cold Thunder? Let me tell you, you shouldn’t compete with me! This is your fate!”
“No, that’s not it…” Lu Kenian shook her head desperately.
“No matter what, I can’t let you, Xiao Bei’s biological mother, live! You are ultimately my obstacle!”
Chu Yun stepped on Lu Kenian ’s thigh and lifted her chin with one hand.
“However, I’m still quite nice to you. I found a decent man for you, so he can take good care of you on your last night in this world and let you enjoy the last moments of being a woman.”
After saying that, Chu Yun clapped her hands. “Come in!”
A burly man walked in, rubbing his hands together. He had a bushy beard and drool at the corners of his mouth, leering at his prey.
“Hey there, little girl. I’m going to take good care of you today.”
“Enjoy your prey,” Chu Yun said disdainfully as she cast a glance at Lu Kenian and left the warehouse.
“Don’t! Don’t come over! Ah—”
The room was filled with the sounds of tearing clothes.
