The girl that came to meet with Shen Ya in her apartment was the new servant of the Shen Fu (1) known as Xia Lin.She was the new maid that was planted by Shen Ya to keep an eye on her family. This was because she wanted to know everything that happened behind my back inside the house.
Xia Lin was a good and innocent woman that needed employment and thus agreed easily to work as a servant inside Shen Fu.
She was here to inform Shen Ya about the recent plan of Shen Rui. Xia Lin has seen the eldest miss creating havoc inside the whole mansion.
She was obsessive and wanted to marry Lu Jian as she heard about the missing report of Zhen Xiu.
Shen Rui was elated and planned to get married to Lu Jian during this time in her absence. It was a move that benefited both her and Shen family.
Even her father Shen Feng agreed with her plans and was going to propose marriage to Lu Jian by visiting Lujia next morning.
This was the news that she wanted to give her employer. It was difficult for her to seek out from the mansion by avoiding other servants that were arranged by Shen Rui to monitor the house.
Xia Lin tried reaching her boss through a phone call but she was not able to contact Shen Ya so she has to come in person today to deliver this new information.
The housekeeper stopped her from meeting Shen Ya as she was aware of drinking stupor. She has seen how her boss threatened her boyfriend because of Zhen Xiu.
It was a terrible sight but she was not a fool to disturb a sleeping lion.
Shen housekeeper knew that it was her job to inform her boss about this new development in Shen Fu.
She was helpless regarding this matter as no matter what she tried, she was not able to wake her boss up.
Xia Lin was disheartened that she was not able to meet Shen Ya but her job was done here and she has to leave back to her post.
"My luck is bad. I could not meet my benefactor. It was such an amazing opportunity but alas I lost it!"
Xia Lin huffed in anger. It was her fault for picking the wrong time to deliver the information. From next time she would not be careless as to come here without looking at the time. She would make sure that her employer is well and good before coming here again.

Shen Rui was finally happy that Zhen Xiu has been missing from the scene and her life. She was a dark spot in her perfect life that had stolen her sister and her dream of becoming the head lady of Lujia.
Her informers had already informed her about her missing condition from the hospital. Before she was not sure but after a week there was still no sign of Zhen Xiu. Hence, she was sure that the country bit*h would not return again.
This was her chance to become the head lady of Lujia. She could fulfill her dream by manipulating that fool Lu Qiqi. After all, her weakness was in her control and that fool would have to listen to her words for that to remain a secret.
It was thrilling to have something over that old woman that ruled the number one family of C country. How she has to abide by her rules and follow her commands?
It was thrilling!
"She is just a p.a.w.n that would help me in achieving my goals." Shen Rui snickered.
"Don"t underestimate her. She is the weakness of Lu Ming and a lovely mother of Lu Jian. She is a calculative woman."
Shen Feng-the head of Shenjia interrupted his daughter"s words. In terms of maliciousness and plotting something big his daughter was still far behind him. She thought that she could easily handle Lu Qiqi just because of some dirty secret.
He was not aware of that secret that kept Lu Qiqi in check but he was sure of one thing that she was a woman that have both the heirs of Lujia in her control and dealing with her would not be easy.
They have to plan it well for it too to be a success.
Now that the countrywoman was not in their life and out of the picture they were free to proceed on their plan.
Shen Rui did not agree with her father and was even more confused that he was praising a loose woman. She knew that her father did not believe that she has something big against Lu Qiqi.
Despite being an experienced woman that knew how to run an entire household like Lujia; she could not protect herself from her trap.
What was smart and calculative? What is the use of all this when she could not even go to the bottom of her secret? She was a fool to trust her but it was good for her. She needed Lu Qiqi at least for now.
"She might be their weakness but I had a hidden card with me that is enough for making her my puppet." Shen Rui proudly declared.
Shen Feng raised his eyes at her confident words as it was clear that she had something deep hidden from him which was enough to clear out Lu Qiqi.
If it was before he would not believe his daughter but now since she was so confident that the head lady of Lujia would not cross them and willingly let them become their in-laws; his worries subsided.
It was enough if his daughter could become the the next head lady of Lu conglomerate.
"Okay! If you are so sure then I would let it go. Remember this you should keep your cards close and reveal them one by one while destroying your enemies."
He advised his daughter to move her plan cautiously. He had two daughters and only this one was capable enough to lead their family to great heights.
The other one was a complete and full dark spot in his perfect family. She did not understand their principle and always wanted to rebel.
It was always like this. She never agreed with his thinking and even blamed him for making the decisions for his family.
Only Shen Rui was his last hope.
It was time for their Shen family to rise like a star in this world again. He will make sure of it.
