s.h.i.+ Enxi was left alone in the dorm on the following day.
When she woke up that morning, the first she did was to take a bath and changed into a simple, blue line dress with white daisy designs on it. She wore white sandals, matching it with her dress and her black wig, braiding it to the side and making it rest on her shoulder.
When s.h.i.+ Enxi looked in the mirror, she was reminded of her childhood days.
She loved daisies and would always wear clothes with daisy prints on them. Her mother would braid her hair just like this. She looked so innocent and pure. She had always been a cheerful and bright girl during her childhood days, and was her parent"s baby since she was the youngest.
However, that was supposed to change for she was supposed to have another sibling as her mother was pregnant. It was just too sad that her baby sibling died together with her parents.
Her eyes were filled with sadness and longingness. There were times where she yearned for her parent"s warm embrace, but she was never going to feel them again.
When she left the dormitory, she saw a black Maybach car. The gla.s.s window rolled down, revealing her brother"s face.
She walked towards it and opened the car door before getting in.
Her brother was wearing a black suit, and at that time, he had a gentle look on his face while he stared at her.
"Sister Bingbing said that we should visit mom and dad together," s.h.i.+ Yi said, "Let"s go pick her up."
s.h.i.+ Enxi nodded silently without saying a word.
On their way to their older sister"s place, s.h.i.+ Enxi was awfully quiet the entire time. She didn"t even speak a word.
s.h.i.+ Yi didn"t force her to speak; In fact, he was just quiet as well. Whenever they would visit their parents, it was always this way.
As they reached Lu Xian Yu"s residence, they were invited to the living room in order to wait for their sister.
While they were waiting, a handsome young man, who had a mixture of Li Bingbing and Lu Xian Yu, entered the living room.
"Uncle s.h.i.+ Yi! Auntie Enxi!" Lu Jinnian"s face brightened up when he saw the two. "I didn"t know that you two are coming today."
s.h.i.+ Enxi and her brother turned to their nephew.
s.h.i.+ Yi smiled. "We came to pick your mother."
"Eh? What for?"
"We"re going to visit our parents," s.h.i.+ Enxi finally spoke up.
Lu Jinnian understood her words. "Oh...I would like to visit grandma and grandpa too, but I have to take an exam today."
"That"s fine. You can visit them next time."
"By the way, how"s your sister?" s.h.i.+ Enxi asked, smiling at the young guy.
"Jiejie?" He looked away and scratched his cheek lightly with his finger. "She"s...out there, trying to hide her men from father."
s.h.i.+ Yi: "..."
s.h.i.+ Enxi laughed lightly at his words.
Since Lu Mengjie was the only girl among her siblings, Lu Xian Yu was strict with her. They would usually get along with everything except boys.
She had always known that it was only a matter of time before Lu Mengjie"s father would find out that she was collecting pretty boys.
"Even her fiance is looking for her."
s.h.i.+ Enxi raised a brow. "Sisi is looking for her?"
If he was looking for her, then Lu Mengjie should have shown herself already!
s.h.i.+ Enxi knew how much Lu Mengjie loved her fiance ever since they were children.
"Yup. Their wedding day is coming close yet sister is nowhere to be found. She hasn"t been contacting me for a while now. It"s really strange." Lu Jinnian was really worried ever since he couldn"t contact her sister.
"How long has it been since you last talked with her?" Asked s.h.i.+ Enxi.
"One month ago. I talked to Qinqing-ge, and it was also the previous month that he last talked to her. Sister had always been good at hiding herself from everyone, but she would always contact us once in a while." Lu Jinnian sighed.
"How about the Azure Republic?"
Lu Jinnian shook his head, "We have already asked brother Xukun if he had heard of her there, but he couldn"t find her there too."
s.h.i.+ Enxi furrowed her brows. Was Lu Mengjie that desperate to hide from her father? No, Lu Mengjie wasn"t like that. She knew her well.
"That girl is big enough to handle herself." A beautiful, matured-looking woman entered.
"Sister."
Li Bingbing had a sharp look in her eyes. "Just leave her be and let her do what she wants. She"s a strong woman who can beat the s.h.i.+t out of anyone, so what are you worried about?"
Well...That was indeed true.
Lu Mengjie was not a naive and defenseless girl. If she wanted to kill someone, she could do it with a snap of a finger. If she wanted to find someone"s deepest and darkest secret, she only needed to type; She was even better than her brother Xia Liqin.
If s.h.i.+ Enxi was a she-devil who loved riches, then Lu Mengjie was a demoness who loved to collect pretty men to the point of kidnapping them from their families.
