7. Her mind is in shabbles

Running and panting with her face stained with tears, she collides with tall man, looking up to his face she immediately realize who he was.

"Are you ok? What's wrong? You should" Ushi is still not finish speaking when the girl abruptly hug her, the grip of her hug knows how terrified the little girl is.

"Shh, it's ok, you are now ok." after a second of being frozen, he return the hug to immediately calm the girl sobbing and hugging her tightly.

"I am in a r-room, it-it's so big, it-it-it so pretty, b-but it's so sca-cary" Ushi caress the back of the girl to calm her down, after easing her up he tried to change the topic to lighter ones.

"That's your room, you are ok now, look your eyes looks swollen and your snot is everywhere in your face." Lu Xinghe push his chest and immediately glares at him. The man chuckle at how stupid she looks but seeing how beautiful she looks like without her lips swollen, he is stunned. Her beauty could rival the deities, her facial features are not yet fully developed but her eyes almond-shaped eyes are big and her face is so small, he bet that his hand would fit to that face of hers. He is so curious whose deity is her relative?

"Ehem, you should eat first, you slept for 24 hours, you shouldn't have the energy to run around here." diverting his mind to her health, he immediately led her to the dining room to eat something. Her mind is in shabbles, the information she receives yesterday is too big for her little head and it's bombarding her mind every minute passed.

"Are you Ok? What's wrong?" Ushi asks her seeing that her facial expression change every second.

"I'm fine." she continued to eat until her stomach is full. After finishing her food, she stared at him like a pet asking what should I do next? The man chuckled at her behavior. But he knows the trauma of what the little girl undergone.

"You should rest first in your room, after regaining strength you will be able to know the people in this house. Also, you should clean yourself, you stinks, no joke. I will ask the maid to prepare everything you need. And...." Lu Xinghe nod at him not even understanding all the ridicule being thrown at her.

"Woah! What is that? You look like mother hen now! Why is my grandfather nagging? What is wrong with you today? I should film this. Imagine, you say thirty plus words straight today!"

Liwei ruined the peaceful atmosphere in the dining room by his bubbly appearance, regardless of who is him, he is still the star of the house where he could lighten the mood, save someone from tension and making the maids laugh right after crying. He is the symbol of Positive Atmosphere in the mansion where humans decided to put decision on who they should kill"

"Uhm, excuse me miss. But who are you? Are you the new maid here? You look so beautiful to be a maid!" exclaimed the blabbermouth who does not recognize Xinghe because of her almost healed lips.

"She is Xinghe, her lips is almost healed but still swollen" Ushi interjected before the girl across him loses her patience to his stupid cousin.

"Really!? You are Xinghe?"

"En"

"Then why is your eyes are now puffy? Does the swelling go from your lips to your eyes?"

"..."

"..."

"Haha, I'm just joking. By the way Xinghe, go to father after you clean yourself, he wants to talk to you about what do you want to do to the issues I told you about"

"Ok"

"And last but not the least, did you know where is the famous Xiao Long Bao is located at your village? When we were rescuing you, we didn't find it so maybe you know so I can ask help to buy it"

"..."

"..."

We used land and air transportation to reach the mansion from there, don't tell me you will use the same just to have Xiao Long Bao!?

After cleaning up herself, Xinghe immediately go to the study of Old master Yu, Ushi told her where it is and luckily to her great mind, she remembers.

"Old master?"

"Come in"

"Good afternoon Old Master, I am Lu Xinghe, thank you for saving my life. I will be forever grateful to you" Xinghe bows 90 degress to pay respect and give him courtesy.

"No need to do that, you are part of the family now and also call me uncle."

"Yes Old, ehem, Yes Uncle"

"Good, anyways seat down."

Sitting down, Old master yu continued,

"Did you already know the reason why is your relatives are planning to kill you?"

"Liwei already told me part of it but there are still things I'm confused. So I also came here to ask questions."

"Ok, speak your mind"

"Can I ask what is the relationship or our Liao family to Yu family to help us into this extent?"

"Your grandmothermother at age of 14 is part of Tiger Alliance back then, I am his teammate, my father, the one who manage the Tiger Alliance back then, makes me the teammate and guard of the young mistress, you may wonder why would the young mistress of Liao family is part of assassination squad?"

Lu Xinghe nods.

"That is why you are here, to find out that reason and to become the CEO of Liao family. However, you cannot be the CEO if you cannot crack the code your grandfather design for the throne. In order to quickly appease your enemies, you must let them know your capability"

"But what if I'm dead? What will happen to the company if I died"

"What do you think will happen to the house if the owner died?"

"It will be passed to someone else?"

"That's right."

"But there's a challenge, you said if they can't do it, they can't have the throne"

"The moment your grandmother, who is the ruler of the game died, then the game and rules also died. That is why you are automatically the owner regardless if you did it or not. You are the one they will kill next"

"Next? What do you mean?"
