Yan Xia frowned as she watched his retreating back.
This man was truly unfathomable. He always seemed calm and unperturbed, as if he didn't care about anything. In fact, he was extremely ambitious. Yan Xia couldn't figure out what was on his mind.
People like her, who couldn't control their emotions and always showed their true feelings on their faces, were easy to be manipulated.
In the past few days, she not only spent time digesting the huge changes but also secretly read a lot of materials and news about Lu Qianzhou.
Regardless of Lu Qianzhou's personal ability and ambition, just because his father had powerful connections, it was clear that he had an extraordinary background.
His father's amorous affairs and the open and covert struggles among his wives were enough to fill a book.
A man like this could have whatever he wanted and achieve anything he set out to do. Why did he single her out?
Half an hour later, the maid took her to see Lu Qianzhou as promised.
The study was decorated in a way that was good for one's health. Lu Qianzhou was wearing a black bathrobe, his short hair damp. There was a glass of milk on the table.
Yan Xia sat down opposite him. "What do you need me to do?"
"I gave Miss Cheng three days to calm down." Lu Qianzhou picked up the milk glass with one hand. "Has Miss Cheng come up with any good ideas? I've said that I can help you solve 80% of your troubles."
"Do you help me for nothing?"
"What I want is money. You know Fang Jiangyi better than I do, and you're more familiar with the internal situation of Shengshi. After all, what could be more satisfying than personally avenging yourself against your enemy?" Lu Qianzhou took a sip of milk, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Yan Xia's heart skipped a beat. In fact, she didn't know Fang Jiangyi at all. She had never seen through him.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Arrange a new identity for me and send me to Shengshi. I'll get close to him step by step."
Lu Qianzhou took out a piece of paper from a folder and pushed it towards her.
It was a wanted notice with her photo and personal information on it, reminding her that she was now a wanted fugitive.
He looked at her with a smile. "Has Miss Cheng watched too many TV shows? He's been looking for you. Going back with this face is just like offering your head on a platter."
He leaned back in his chair, propping his head on his slightly bent fingers. "By chance, Changling has a top - notch medical team. Except for your face and identity, any of your characteristics, living habits, and even your personality have to be changed. Since we're going to do it, we have to make sure it's foolproof."
His tone was as calm as if he were talking about something unimportant.
Yan Xia closed her eyes. Images of Fang Jiangyi's cruelty flashed through her mind, and hatred welled up in her. "Okay."
Lu Qianzhou said, "It's still the critical moment now. There's no need to rush. You have plenty of time to do all this."
Yan Xia watched him raise his head and drink the milk. "Can you find out about my sister's current situation? And regarding my father, can you help get his sentence reduced?"
She knew that in her current situation, she had no right to bargain with him. But the situation wasn't set in stone yet. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she had to fight for it.
Lu Qianzhou smiled lazily. "Does Miss Cheng think I'm a savior?"
Since he didn't want to help, Yan Xia didn't mention it anymore.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly said, "You already know about Cheng Yanxi's situation. As for your father's matter, I'm powerless."
This drama had just begun. It wasn't appropriate for him to expose himself to Fang Jiangyi so early.
It seemed that they had said everything, and the study fell completely silent.
When Lu Qianzhou got up to leave and told Yan Xia to rest well, she finally couldn't help but ask him.
"Mr. Lu, Fang Jiangyi pretended very well in the past few years and never showed any flaws. I thought my family treated him with all their hearts, but he said our family owed him." She raised her eyes. "Did Fang Jiangyi do all this just because of his ambition, or is there really some other hidden reason?"
"Even you, the person involved, don't know. Do you think I know more than you?" Lu Qianzhou's tone was a bit nonchalant.
There were many things she couldn't delve into and couldn't figure out. But now the most urgent thing was to take revenge. The details didn't matter.
Lu Qianzhou was decisive in his actions. As soon as Yan Xia had recovered, he arranged for her to go to Changling's plastic surgery hospital for a cosmetic surgery.
Her face was completely transformed into a different look, with a slightly exotic charm. There was a small dimple at the corner of her right lip. She had bright eyes and white teeth, looking extremely sweet.
When the anesthesia wore off and Yan Xia woke up, the first thing she heard from the plastic surgeon was, "The surgery was a success."
Her whole face was wrapped in gauze, and only her bright eyes were visible. Yan Xia stared at herself expressionlessly and asked someone to cut her long black hair into shoulder - length short hair. It was for easy management and also to get rid of her former self.
During the recovery period after the plastic surgery, Yan Xia stayed in the villa every day, reading news about Fang Jiangyi and learning relevant business knowledge about company management. She also had to take the courses arranged by Lu Qianzhou, including swimming, piano, martial arts, Sanda, golf, and even voice - changing.
Lu Qianzhou didn't come to this villa often. When he came occasionally, it was just to check on Yan Xia's learning progress.
Half a year later, Yan Xia had undergone a complete transformation.
