Lei Xinyi laid on the bed with her legs crossed and aligned to the headboard. She was watching a latest American Drama Series with hands-free on. She was still in her night gown from last night.It was almost 6 O" clock in the afternoon but she didn"t care about her appearance at all. She had eaten her breakfast and lunch in her room. It had been this way for almost the whole week since she resigned from the Li Corporation.
She would stay mostly in her room, eat, watch movies, play video games, surf entertainment sites and sometimes go to the gardens to stroll or visit gym in the morning. It wasn"t like the paranoid Master Lu had allowed her to go outside of the Mansion.
That day she came home bawling her eyes out about the woman there were trying to stain her character and frame her and how she was lucky to have notice the powdered drug on the desk to prove her innocence.
Master Lu had been upset and had looked at with a look of tenderness and straight off denied sending his "innocent and naïve" daughter to a place full of clever vixens.
Because she had stayed almost closed off and disconnected by everyone so they naturally a.s.sumed she was upset and grieving which had been proved in her favor.
The cooks had been preparing all the deliciousness over the week; Madam Lu had bought her a whole new closet, Master Lu had been buying all kind of jewelry to appease her.
Even the other day her whole room was filled with different kind of flowers. Apparently Lu Xinyi liked them a lot but unfortunate for them, Lei Xinyi was allergic to pollen and had to order them to throw them all away.
Li Yuan visited too many times in the last few days and even contacted the Master Lu but Lei Xinyi refused to see him.
That man was manipulative and dangerous. She was here temporarily, the less interaction she has with him the better it is for her escape plan.`
The Li Corporation was a compet.i.tive place full of ambitious people; she just couldn"t bring herself to stay there. Many people had stated doubting and looking at her in different light because of that office scenario.
If she stayed there one day or the other she was bound to be busted. And there wasn"t anything keeping her there. Or was there "anyone"?
Li Yuan was one h.e.l.l of an attractive man with charm to swoon over and being a female naturally he had an ovaries-exploding effect on her but she couldn"t risk falling deeper than she already has in the mire.
That man was a luxury she couldn"t have….
"KNOCK! Knock!"
Midst of a climax in the drama the door started thumping loudly. Lei Xinyi glared at the door with a piercing stare, got in an appropriate posture, pushed her phone below her pillow and said, "Come In." In a soft voice.
Madam Lu walked in with two maids following behind her holding trays. One maid who was holding the large bottle of Red Wine and two gla.s.ses placed the tray on the bed.
The other maid kept the tray on the table near the couch and left the room shutting the room"s door after them.
Lu Xinyi craned her neck to see the tray had essential oils, scrubs and some other cleansing products. Must be some new gifts.
Lu Xinyi turned her head to Madam Lu and raised a questioning brow at her.
Lu Xinyi must say this Lu woman had the shadiest existence. She could even convince a monk that s.e.x doesn"t break celibacy.
Casually coming and sitting on the bed Madam Lu said, "Let"s have a drink."
Lei Xinyi both eyebrows shot up in surprise. Lu Xinyi wasn"t allowed to drink. So what is that supposed to mean….
"I am not allowed to drink." Lei Xinyi said curtly.
Madam Lu waved her hands dismissingly and said haughtily, "Well that didn"t stop you from buying beers from local super Market or stealing expensive bottles from your father cellar. Did it?"
Hearing that Lei Xinyi face turned red and immediately she looked down the bed where she hid all the empty bottles of alcohol but found none.
She had no idea when they went missing. Turning with a sharp look at Madam Lu Lei Xinyi glared at her, "Have you been spying on me?"
Madam Lu Rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Don"t overestimate yourself. Whenever you purchase anything by that credit card of yours I get a notification because your daddy dearest wanted to keep an eye on you and that cellar is in my house. Do you think I wouldn"t notice the bottles costing millions that go missing?"
Letting out a huff Lei Xinyi snarled, "So have you or have you not tattled me to Dad yet?"
Dad. Although the word sounded foreign to her lips but she couldn"t afford getting more busted than she already was. Who knows where Madam Lu was getting to…
Madam Lu snorted, "I didn"t. You are a twenty three year old you can have freedom for yourself but I have come to realize that you aren"t that naïve and innocent as you lead people on. Even I thought you were a good for nothing waste of s.p.a.ce."
Lei Xinyi had a strong urge to roll her eyes and snicker on the woman at the insult.
Looking at her suspiciously Lei Xinyi asked the question hammering her head, "Why are you here?"
Shrugging her shoulder Madam Lu poured two gla.s.ses of wine and extended one to her, "I came to have a little chitchat with you."
It was afternoon. Lei Xinyi eyed the gla.s.s then held it. Afternoon or not what alcoholic would refuse good wine.
Chugging down the whole gla.s.s of wine, Lei Xinyi asked, "About?"
Madam Lu too drank the strong and heavy wine gla.s.s in one go and said, "The Li boy. Of course."
Savoring the wine gla.s.s, Lei Xinyi felt her eyelids grow heavy and mumbled nonchalantly, "What of him?"
Madam Lu chugged another gla.s.s down and asked in the most stern voice she could muster in her drunken state, "Don"t play dumb with me. Young woman, you know what I am talking about. Why are you avoiding him?"
Pouring herself a third gla.s.s, Lei Xinyi groaned in frustration, "None of your business! Why are you so nosy?"
"Watch your tongue young woman. It is hardly a matter of time before your father is going to permit that boy again to come see you." Inching closer to her she gasped, "Are you avoiding him because you have fallen for him."
Lei Xinyi immediately shot her head up abruptly and shouted, "No! h.e.l.l F*cking No!"
Pointing at her with a drunken smile Madam Lu giggled and said, "In denial…..hmmm, I see young love."
Holding her head Lei Xinyi shouted while swaying her head, "No, no, no! nope…not him."
Then giggled and held a finger on her chin and made a thinking gesture, "He is smart and hot, check. He is rich and hot, check. He is hot and hot, check....Hmmm, I like him a lot. I want him on my bed! Argghh… Why is he not an escort? Why? Why? Life is so unfair!"
