Leaving the Li"s ancestral house in a rush. Lu Xinyi could feel mortification surrounding her like an equator.Lu Xinyi feet were heavy that were like buried in the concrete. Yu Youhan was practically dragging her all the way by her wrist.
The vaulet saw them and ran to get there car while they waited in silence.
Yu Youhan hands were fisted and he was clenching and unclenching his jaw. She gave him her most fierce glare but he was looking ahead. When that didn"t work she s.n.a.t.c.hed her arm harshly from his grip.
Lu Xinyi was holding back angry tears. Never has she ever been this humiliated.
Yu Youhan head snapped in her direction but Lu Xinyi bowed her arms on her chest and glared in the opposite direction. Yu Youhan pursed his lips to reign the saddle of his own anger.
In front of her whole family and the Li Family he had humiliated her. Her image for years was tainted because of him!
She had endured many things over the years but had not been treated like that!
He phrased their relation like there was something going on between them! Like she...she was his wh*re!
What would her family think of her now? A s.l.u.t? Her father would be ashamed of her!
She sniffed and blinked the falls of her twin north stars. She had protected her chast.i.ty like a preacher protected his beliefs!
And now...now everyone would think of her as a dirty vile woman when she was still as pure as a the first bud of spring...
She thought he was her saviour, her friend! But he had tainted her reputation like no other.
She shouldn"t have come with him, it was like solidifying their spectaculation but...but she didn"t have a choice. She wouldn"t go in that prison with fluffy walls and silk linens, even at the cost of her reputation!
She will make some last wrong decisions and then she can live in peace.
She wasn"t trying to use him but...she can take a little more help from him and when she is capable enough she can just pay him back...
Yu Youhan observed her estranged behavior in silence with a frown and his hands fisted in his pocket. She was suppressing her aggression and he wanted to shout on her with twice the aggression she was suppressing.
For G.o.d"s sake weren"t they the same people who treated her like trash to the point that she had suicidal thoughts?! Then why the h.e.l.l did she care of their opinions and feelings?!
He not only disgraced her but also disrespected her dear father. Her lower lip trembled thinking about how much hurt her father must be.
He had always bought the best for her, always treated the first bite of anything newly harvested in their fields to her. He was over protective and hot tempered but he treasured her like thin-gla.s.s figurine.
Lu Xinyi accusing eyes tuned sharply to Yu Youhan who was already looking at her in confusion and frustration.
And she repaid her great father like that! By her only real friend ever humiliating him in public, In front her whole family!
In the suffocatingly thick atmosphere, they glared at each other. Lu Xinyi could feel the strong manly aura around him but even h.e.l.l hath no fury like a scorned woman.
There staring compet.i.tion was cut short by the valut bringing the car. Jiang Cheng was nowhere to be seen but before he could wonder further Lu Xinyi went forward and sat on the back seat.
He raised his single brow and pursed his lip in anger but didn"t comment and sat on the driver seat, slamming the door behind him.
She was no child. She could see Jiang Cheng was no where in sight which obviously meant that he was driving so by sitting in the back seat what was she trying to prove that he was her chauffeur?!
The car moved in charged silence. Yu Youhan was riding very fast and was taking sharp turns and abrupt breaks, causing Lu Xinyi to literally bounce like a ball in the back seat.
But even in the rocking situation she still kept her mouth tightly sewed.
She hadn"t told anyone but since her accident, cars and front seats had been a horror to her and right now she was feeling she was going to puke or faint in any moment.
Yu Youhan who was waiting for the stubborn woman to break the ice and whine about the cause of her foul mood but when she didn"t relent for long, he grew frustrated.
"What is it about?" He finally spat in a cold tone.
As if that was all the push she needed, Lu Xinyi burst out.
"You! What else can it be about! My family who hadn"t seen me for months, what will they think about me now! You ruined my chance to amend things with my family. Now they detest me!" At the end, her eyes were tearing and she was practically shouting on one of the most powerful man in the country.
That was the thing about Lu Xinyi, she was temperamental and naive.
She felt things how they touched her and reflected how the touch felt. Unlike Lei Xinyi who was a labyrinth full of mysteries, Lu Xinyi was an open book.
Yu Youhan looked at her from the mirror with pursed lips, she really was innocent unlike the society scheming and hypocrite women. No wonder she was called an unrefined lady in the past, she was just simple.
"It is for your best." Lu Xinyi looked at his stoic and indifferent face in the mirror and felt her temper flare.
"For best? Since when did you start to decide what is best for me? Who allowed you?" Even she could tell it was her anger speaking but she couldn"t contain it.
It was like her life rewinding all over again. Another influential man playing G.o.d in her life!
Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth in anger and glared at him. She had escaped one life prison to land in another. Enough was enough!
Yu Youhan looked at her in rearview mirror and tightened his hold on the steering wheel. He wasn"t going to reply to her meaningless tantrums.
Being ignored Lu Xinyi huffed and turned her eyes out of the window.
As they reached his state Lu Xinyi ran out of the car without glancing at him once. Yu Youhan got out of the car to follow her but his phone ringed slowing his quick stance.
Yu w.a.n.g.
Why was he calling him? He picked the call with creased brows in worry.
"What is it?" The urgency and worry in his voice couldn"t be avoided even in his cold and indifferent tone.
There was a pause on the other side, "Brother, Lei Xinyi... "
There was a tremor in his voice that invested Yu Youhan"s worry. None the less he waited patiently.
"...Brother, she is dead." Yu Youhan steps halted at once and shock steeled his body.
