That day the Xu family was visited by the very benefactor who saved them one year ago."Ms. Lu, what makes you visit our humble Xu residence?" Xu Jiang"s demeanor was reverent.
Lu Mingyu, in a fine, black, custom made suit, as usual, with two burly bodyguards stood stiffly around him; looked so n.o.ble and regal like a true monarch. His power along with his ethereal looks and made the people surrounding him feel uncomfortable pressure. He felts like an otherworldly aloof creature who couldn"t be touched and could only be feared endlessly.
Lu Mingyu didn"t say anything. His eyebrow raised slightly. "Is there any problem?" His face was cold.
"No-No, it"s not like that!" Xu Jiang fervently replied. "I was just saying that if you had informed us earlier we could make all the necessary preparations. And I could come back from office to personally receive you."
That man standing in front of him had the ability to shake the entire state in his name. He held formidable powers. How could Xu Jiang say something to offend him? Especially when they were also his debtor.
However, what Fu Jiang said was not true.
All he wanted was not to let his little sister, Xu Xinya, see this person.
She was at home.
He still hadn"t told her that he had sold her to this man to save his father and the Xu family. Whenever he tried to tell her, at the last moment he couldn"t summon enough courage to reveal that terrifying truth to her and shatter her innocent world.
He didn"t want to see tears in her eyes.
He didn"t want to steal her pure and innocent mile.
Xu Jiang quietly led that man to lounge while he silently contemplated how to make his cousin leave safely the house without seeing this man. He asked the servants to present refres.h.i.+ngs. He sat on the couch to give him company.
Lu Mingyu was quiet all the time. Even then his silence was domineering. In his presence, their expensive villa looked like a peasant"s dwelling.
Xu Jiang didn"t dare to leave and sat obediently to attend him.
What if that man felt offended if left alone?
After all, it was stated clearly in the contract that he could terminate it any moment. In that case, the Xu family would have to pay a huge amount of money to him. If they were unable to do that, they would be on the streets in no time.
And that man didn"t need that to torture them if he was offended.
He could simply order his men to wipe out the Xu family in one night with a simple gesture of his finger. No one would even question him. That was the kind of man he was. His influence and power far surpa.s.sed police and other government organizations. He was simply unrestrained.
Lu Mingyu glanced around. But his eyes couldn"t find the person they came for.
His lips curled up. However, his eyes were cold.
Sooner or later she will have to face him.
"Where is Xu Xinya?" He asked directly.
Xu Jiang felt a rush of anger. If it was someone else who had held bad intentions and asked about his baby sister so bluntly, he would have shredded that man to pieces. But he couldn"t lay a finger on this man. He couldn"t only swallow down his anger. If not, what would happen to his family?
"She is not home" He could not hide the bitterness in his tone.
"Isn"t it weekend?" Lu Mingyu glanced at Xu Jiang. He could easily see what that man was feeling.

Xu Jiang"s fists tightened.
"Ms. Lu I hope you remember that it was stated in the contract that my sister must only enter your mention once she was twenty. I hope you honor your words." His voice was soft and didn"t reciprocate the intense anger he was feeling.
After all, if that man wanted to drag Xu Xinya out of her own home in front of his eyes, he didn"t have the ability to stop that; he didn"t have the ability to protect her; that fact haunted him day and night.
After a long pause of domineering silence, Lu Mingyu said.
"So she is home?"
Xu Jiang felt a rush of helplessness. A heavy weight fell down on his heart. He looked down and said quietly.
"She is upstairs."
"I wish to see her."
It sounded like a polite request. But Xu Jiang knew he couldn"t turn down that request then no matter how much he wanted. He took a deep breath and stood up.
"I"ll bring her."
He was in a dilemma as he thought of things he was going to say to her. It was still too soon to tell her about her hopeless condition. He would only tell her that he is an important man so she must be reverent in front of him.
However, Xu Jiang never had a chance to warn her because Xu Xinya was already on her way down.
