Chapter 292 - 293: Sparks-III
Last time Li Jun Wei put down the matter where Li Lian was offered money by Mrs. Jin but it didn’t mean he would forgive the woman for doing so. Now that his aunt was right here it was also the right time to warn her. If she is not stupid, her aunt would know when to stop but he could tell that his aunt Jin isn’t bright on her head, seeing that despite what she did last time, Mrs. Jin still have the gall to press her words at him.
"It was just a possible rumors coming from outside, Jun Wei." Mrs. Jin replied, "As a family member, I would not do anything that could harm Li Lian or the family. It is best to prepare ourself from the rumors outside as people that are nit our family would not care about our feeling."
"It’s good to see that you think so much about the family, aunt Jin." Li Jun Wei narrowed down his eyes if Mrs. Jin wasn’t his family, he would have done worse and perhaps last time he had been too lax with his punishment which he wouldn’t do again. "Even after seeing that you have offered Li Lian money to leave the family. I didn’t expect you would care for her."
"That’s a misunderstanding but I believe we have cleared the matter together, have we, Li Lian?" asked Mrs. Jin, her eyes directed at Li Lian, there was a subtle warning in her eyes while she stared daggers at Li Lian that Li Jun Wei took a step forward to stop the woman from looking at Li Lian.
"Whether it is a misunderstanding there is no next time." Li Jun Wei warned, and he took Li Lian’s hand to bring her closer, "Before you forget aunt Jin, in this house, Li Lian hold more authority than you, I will expect you to treat her like the mistress of this house as she is. She has to be respected." Then Li Jun Wei looked down to his cousin, "Nu Yuan, do you hear my words?"
Jin Nu Yuan clenched her hand, gritting to her teeth on Li Jun Wei’s instruction that she had to respect Li Lian who was just a mere singer. She managed to keep her anger down and nodded, "Yes."
"We will leave now until dinner." said Li Jun Wei before leaving the place with Li Lian to let Mrs. Jin and Jin Nu Yuan who was both angry to drown in their anger. Walking upstairs, Li Jun Wei lead her inside to where his room was, the same room where Li Lian had entered this morning. When they entered the lights had turned on, that had Li Lian wondered if the servants were the one to turn the lights on as the state of the room was dark when she left before.
Closing the room, she saw Li Jun Wei pulling his necktie to loosen, an air of him was angry even though she couldn’t read his expression, she could tell it by the way his poise gave off. "Is it a habit for you not to show expression?" Li Lian asked, curiosity staying at her eyes.
Li Jun Wei didn’t expect the question, turning his body, he placed the necktie to the couch aside of him which was near the old table he used long ago. "A little. I find that showing emotions would make others to be relaxed shen they’re with me and I needed to be the opposite. With people who wants to make use of me, I can’t have them use my emotions either."
Li Lian could tell from meeting Mrs. Jin that the family was superficial not most of them but perhaps apart from Madam and Master Li, all of them set their eyes on the wealth Li Jun Wei. She had only seen the other relatives for a brief and tomorrow she would be meeting the rest of the families.
"Mrs. Jin was threatening you earlier." Li Lian lightly brought the conversation as she walked from beside the door to make her way to sit on the bed. As fluffy it was once Li Lian sat, she felt her legs and bottom sank on the bed which felt good. "Does she often to that?"
