Chapter 231 - 230: Sudden Guests-II
Li Lian thought it was weird how Jin Nu Yuan could catch a fever after drenching in the rain. Unless and until the girl stood under the rain for hours, it make sense that she would be sick, but there was a large roofed terrace in front of the house where her car would have stopped there and take shelter under the car. It also did t make sense how they still insisted to stay in the house until Li Jun Wei came back home when they could have ride their car and went back home? The stubbornness made it felt strange to Li Lian.
"Bo Shiao." called Li Lian and in surprise, Bo Shiao came by her side and she asked, "Why do you not move from your place when Mrs. Jin asked?" Bo Shiao looked at Li Lian with his eyes startled. Should they had moved? Then Li Lian added, "I need your reason."
Bo Shiao’s lips turn to O and he spoke without looking at the guests, "It is because they are not the owner of the house or the mistress of the house, miss. The master has kept words to me not to do what is instructed by others unless we received your permission."
Li Lian then turned at Mrs. Jin and her hand moved from the woman’s hand, "I don’t think that is something I have to punish them for. I see that they understand how to obey by instructions that are given, Mrs. Jin."
Mrs. Jin’s brows furrowed, Jin Nu Yuan who couldn’t heard Li Lian’s words acting as if she was the head of the house wang to speak but stopped. Mrs. Jin could see how her daughter was triggered by the words and her hand went to stop her. She then look at Li Lian, her smile flawless, "I see, so they are good at following words and I was worried for nothing." and at the end of her word, Mrs. Jin glared at the servants. She had words to say to Li Lian but the words had to be spoken privately in the absence of the servants who she knows often act as Li Jun Wei’s arm and ears.
Li Jun Wei, her nephew was no different than her mother, Mrs. Jin’s sister in law. Not only did his face resemble much to the woman, his personality which was sharp that often rendered them useless which she disliked. When Li Jun Wei’s mother married to the family, she gained control to many things which made Mrs. Jin and her husband to have a hard time gaining their position in Li Corporation. When the woman had died, it became easier for them but Li Jun Wei in a count of years had gained control over the company and strengthened the guard better than ever. Some times, having a nephew who was too smart was troubling, thought Mrs. Jin to herself.
Taking a sip of her drink, Mrs. Jin’s eyes fell on Li Lian. She didn’t know what kind of woman Li Lian was but from the rumors it was easy to know that she was a woman who loved money. "How was your shopping?" asked Mrs. Jin, placing the cup in the plate with a clink.
"Shopping?" Li Lian wondered what he meant by that, as she wasn’t shopping.
Mrs. Jin raise her thin drawn brows, "I thought you were out since afternoon to late in evening for shopping? There not much for a woman to do other than shopping so I guessed that could be the case." she stated her eyes watching Li Lian.
Li Lian knows that Mrs. Jin also know she didn’t went out for shopping and had asked the question to find answer as to where Li Lian went, "I was at work before visiting my friend’s son who was sick." she replied to see how Mrs. Jin hummed as if not believing her words.
Mrs. Jin could form to calculation seeing the sudden marriage of Li Lian and Li Jun Wei. The first being Li Lian had seduced Li Jun Wei and had married for money which she had also told to her daughter, Jin Nu Yuan. The second she could think that Li Jun Wei had took the girl with a contract they formed. For Li Jun Wei marriage was unneeded. She had seen how her nephew dislike having women around and was sure that in the end he wouldn’t have any children for the fortune to fall on Li Xiao Chen. To take the fortune from Li Xiao Chen would be a million times easier than taking it directly from Li Jun Wei, thought Mrs. Jin.
