What are perfect opposite of a gentleman he was, Tsk it's really an eye-opener.
she was yet to receive a thank you, yet he was ordering her around, he didn't even use a polite tone. He spoke like he was giving a command to a subordinate.
"sorry but I don't remember saying I was going to help you?, besides you dragged me here yourself so what does you getting to safety have to do with me? if you need help then get someone else" her tone carried a little bit of annoyance.
"if you leave me here and the police get her then we both would have some questioning to do, besides won't you feel guilty if you learn something happens to me, my life would be on your neck if anything happens to me"
Did_ did he just threaten her?!
Her eyelids twitched due to anger, she glared at him for long time after which she took in a long breath and was finally able to calm her anger, indeed she would feel guilty if anything happened to him, she might even be haunted by that for a long while but still it was annoying that a stranger would threaten her with it. if she didn't want to help him then he had no say in it.
"it's such a beautiful night with a gorgeous moon, I wonder how I got to meet horrible people" she complained
"what do want me to do?"
"give me your phone" she dug her phone out of her bag and handed it to him, she watched him punch in a set of number and dialed it.
The line went through, He gave a few orders through the phone then cut it off, he gave it back to her.
"can I leave now?" he nodded but she still couldn't get herself to leave him here, I guess that's just the perks of being a kind hearted person.
"first let's get you in a cab then I can peacefully go on my way" the man glanced her for long then followed her over to the road .
*****
"Xiao Yan!"
"Yu xiao yan!" a middle aged lady stood at the center of the Grand sitting room with her hands akimbo and yelled at the top of her voice while tapping her heels against the cold marble floor.
"mom" Yu xiao yan walked out tired and exhausted.
"what kind of sc*m are you?! Zhi ruo'er is getting ready for her award ceremony and you are here loitering about!"
loitering about?
Yu xiao yan didn't know if she should cry or laugh when she heard this, she had been working all day, from cleaning the whole house to cleaning Yu zhi ruo heap of shoes all in the name of the so-called award ceremony and her her mother was accusing her of loitering about, if all the strenuous work she had been doing is called loitering about then she doesn't want to see what working hard looks like.
"mom I've been completing the chores you gave me... I barely just finished them few minutes ago"
" nonsense! those chores should not have taken you more than an hour!" the woman exclaimed with her ugly pitched voice
Yu xiao yan was speechless.
"leave whatever you are doing and go help Zhi ruo'er get ready, Mo Zhou is coming to pick her up, I don't want her to be late" Giao yin spurn her heels and left after saying this.
Mo Zhou?
Bro Zhou is coming?
excitement appeared on the young girls face, even her lips curled up into a bright smile. she began glowing as she heard this information.
Mo Zhou was her fiance, she had met him there four years ago when she was brought to the house the first time as the young lady of the house. it was love at first sight for the two of them and like a dream world, the popular heir to one of the most successful entertainment industry was engaged to her. not that she didn't have any status of her own, at least she was the true daughter of the Yu family, Yu zhi ruo was just an adopted daughter, but still she didn't believe he would fall in love with her talkless or agree to be engaged to her.
Yu xiao yan excitedly rushed to her sister's room.
"sister Zhi ruo!" she paused to catch her breath before she continued.
"I heard Bro Zhou is coming, did you invite him so that I could see?" The girl asked naively.
Yu zhi ruo and Mo Zhou worked in the same company, while Yu xiao yan was a stay-at-home daughter, so it was naturally hard for Yu xiao yan to always meet him. And so Yu zhi ruo was very 'supportive' in Mo Zhou and Yu xiao yan relationship, this was why Yu xiao yan had thought she had invited Mo Zhou to the house.
"hmm brother Zhou has been quite busy of recent and it has been hard for you people to meet so I thought it would make you happy if you saw him even if it was for a minute" There was a sweet and considerate smile on Yu zhi ruo's face as she explained to her dearest sister. She looked really beautiful with that innocent smile on her face, if only people could see that the heart of the 16 year old was not as innocent as her smile, would they still think she was beautiful?
"awwn thank you sis Zhi ruo" replied Yu xiao yan with a happy smile, she couldn't contain her happiness so she gave Yu zhi ruo a big hug.
A trace of contempt flew across Yu zhi ruo's face but in the next minute it was no where to be found and seemed to be almost an illusion.
"you don't have to thank me, I only did what I felt was best" yeah she did what was best for herself, the only reason she had invited him home was to show off in front of Yu xiao yan how close she and her supposed fiance, she was indirectly mocking Yu xiao yan to her face.
"quick lets get ready, the ceremony would commence very soon"
" sure! sis Zhi ruo just sit while I tend your hair" few minutes later, with the help of Yu xiao yan, Yu zhi ruo was done dressing and was looking like a princess from a fantasy novel. She was the really heiress of the Yu family but yet all these years she had been in the family, all she had learned was how to take care of her sister who was a goddess in people's eyes yet The timid and naive Yu xiao yan didn't see anything wrong with that, she always felt she was to be grateful to them for acknowledging her in the first place.
if only she knows...
