"Young Master, it"s the third day Miss Lei refused to eat even a morsel of bread or rice. Sir the only thing she swallow is water that too hardly a gla.s.s the whole day." Yu Youhan heard the voice of Family Butler from the phone.He was seething. When the Butler told him about her threat he was amused that the woman thought she could be a threat by going on a hunger strike.
Apparently the trick did really work to get under his skin because his entire office was a wreck because of his temper that was flaring with her antics.
That ungrateful woman! He fed her, clothed her in her s.l.u.tty attires she liked and even gave her luxuries and security when he should let her rot in the underground dungeon!
Gritting his teeth he spat in a cold voice, "Force feed her!"
The Butler felt his soul shake by the momentum of his tone, "Young Master Yu we did force feed her some cookies but later she intentionally vomited all of that and even tried to drown herself. Young Master, she even fainted once because of dehydration and starvation."
Irked Yu Youhan threw his phone across the room shattering the gla.s.s window then flipped the exquisite custom made table in his office.
Yu Youhan thought before he couldn"t be more angrier but this woman like testing his limit.
Now she was demanding to see him like she was in the position to call shots. He had never agreed to anyone"s demand and nor will he now bend to a woman whims.
He ran his hand through his hairs. If he went there he will make sure she regret ever summoning his attention.
If she wanted to die so much then...
"Si... Sir, how about I go and talk to her about it." Jiang Qinqin who was standing in the corner of the room wiped the trickling sweat from his forehead and suggested.
Jiang Qiqnin and Lei Xinyi had spent a lot of time together in their childhood and therefore he was attached and attentive to her more than the others.
Lei Xinyi also respected him like her elder brother so if anybody could talk her out of this madness it can be him.
Yu Youhan head snapped in his direction and he ordered coldly, "Do that."
Jiang Qinqin heard the threat clear in his voice. If Lei Xinyi wouldn"t behave after this Yu Youhan only tried to solve a certain issue once after that they... terminated it.
Nodding his head he left the office room.
At the same time Lu Xinyi was laying on the bed under the silk blankets looking out of the window.
All the birds were free only she was caged to rot. They could sore as higher as they liked and could dive deep in, with a claim on the sky but she, she didn"t even have control over her next breath.
The luxury, the comfort, the familiarity was all an illusion.
In her heart she knew she had felt that before. Not the hunger or weakness, she had felt caged, restricted and bounded before but she knew in her heart she would rather die escaping but living a life as such was no compromise, it was an insult to her existence.
Her stomach was protesting and so was her all body due to lack of food and water but she didn"t care.
Her face was strained with dried tears and distress. She didn"t look like a pampered princess from anywhere.
"KNOCK! KNOCK!"
Lu Xinyi was momentarily startled. n.o.body did the courtesy to knock here. they would directly barge in but because it was almost all female staff in the house she didn"t feel insecure or violated.
Lu Xinyi was more than curious to see who was the person on the door but she was still sulking and didn"t want to give them any kind of satisfaction.
Hesitantly the door was opened but Lu Xinyi didn"t move her eyes away from the window and pouted.
The person came in her sight of view and he was holding a basket in his hand. The man was handsome with sharp features and a lady-killer body.
Looking at a man in her room Lu Xinyi unconsciously jerked upward, scooted away and looked at him with terror in her eyes.
Was that their infamous Young Master?!
Jiang Qinqin eyes widened and he was momentarily shocked by her reaction, at most he was expecting to be hit by a vase or hear her say something haughty or sarcastic but here she was covering away in fear.
"Wh..Who are you?" Lu Xinyi asked in her most threatening tone.
Jiang Qinqin immediately schooled his features and gave her a soft smile, "Lei Xinyi, don"t you remember me? I am your brother, Jiang Qinqin."
To Lu Xinyi that didn"t make sense at all. His name was Jiang Qinqin and her name was Lei Xinyi then how can they possibly be siblings.
Looking at her confused reaction, Jiang Qinqin chuckled and sat on the bed beside her.
"We were both adopted. They didn"t know my real Family name so they just gave me theirs but they knew of your lineage so thus Lei Xinyi."
Lu Xinyi looked at him a little suspiciously but nodded.
"I..I saw you in the pictures in my phone." Lu Xinyi said hesitantly.
Jiang Qinqin looked at Lu Xinyi solemnly and patted her head tenderly, "It"s still hard to believe you lost your memories."
Lu Xinyi looked at him again and held his other hand.
Though she didn"t remember anything and nothing was familiar about his embrace but she could sense genuine affection and concern coming from him
"Brother... You are my brother?" Jiang Qinqin nodded at her.
With a tear strained face Lu Xinyi sniffed, "If you are my brother then take me home with you. I don"t want to stay here. They treat me like a prisoner, I feel suffocated! They don"t even let me out of the house!"
Jiang Qinqin had a pained expression, he sighed, "Lei Xinyi you were in an accident and it was an orchestrated accident. Somebody want you dead. This place is the most safe place for you till we find out who is after you..."
It was a half truth but it would do for now.
Lu Xinyi pouted her lips and shoved him away, "What use are you as my brother if you can"t even save me from this fortress of the Demon King?!"
Jiang Qinqin chuckled. It was unbelievable that Lei Xinyi could act cordially and coyly like a carefree girl.
"Don"t let anyone hear that! They won"t take it as easy as me. They might tattle you." Jiang Qinqin hugged her again and said playfully.
Then making her turn to him he said seriously, "You have my number in your phone if you want something I will get it for. Your friends will come here for you soon too and I will visit you more often if you feel lonely, but don"t do yourself harm like that. Our Boss really don"t have a very good temper and you don"t want to anger him."
Turning her head away from him she grumbled, "Okay!"
She really wanted to know what job she did for their Boss but just didn"t know how to say it out loud. She didn"t want to hear something she wouldn"t like.
For now obliviousness can be blessing for her.....
Jiang Qinqin had a soft smile on his face. Maybe it was a good thing that she don"t have that horrid memories anymore. He will protect her innocence this time with his life.
Jiang Qinqin patted her head tenderly, "Okay now I got you your favorite take-out, let"s eat I am hungry too."
Lu Xinyi immediately started gobbling all the food.
Well now at least she won"t be surrounded by mannequins who don"t talk nor react. Sometimes she will have company but at least she got something out of her tantrum.
It was a win for her!
"1 point for her and 0 for their Boss." Lu Xinyi giggled at the thought.
