Chapter 339 - 320: Blackmail-I
Before the night came, Li Lian spend more time with Li Jun Wei and Madam Li who was with Master Li. They were having talks that Li Lian could be on. Meanwhile, Mrs. Jin had left with Jin Nu Yuan and Zi Lingyu from the place.
Mrs. Jin pressed her forehead, she looked at Zi Lingyu whose face had turned back to how she looked before, bearing no single similarities to Li Lian and even her hair had curled when the water came upon her, drenching her entire body in the washroom that now had dried up.
"What happened to your makeup?" Mrs. Jin questioned and her severe expression had Zi Lingyu’s throat to dry up. Jin Nu Yuan loved to see people in their predicament. It gave her a sense of superiority and fulfillment especially since what had happened this afternoon. Instead of making the air any lighter for Zi Lingyu, Jin Nu Yuan crossed her hand with a sigh from her lips.
"Have you gone deaf? Mother is asking you. Answer it." Jin Nu Yuan taunted, pressing her tone.
Zi Lingyu brought her hands together, clasping in front of her waist to then reply in a weak voice, "The faucet in the washroom broke and water splashed over me. I had no other way than to wash my makeup. When I tried to put on my makeup, Li Lian told me to eat as others are waiting."
On the name Zi Lingyu spoke of, Jin Nu Yuan’s brows furrowed, "Then force your way. You are the guest you could do that," said the spoiled lady, not knowing that only people who are with wealth or who doesn’t have shame were the only people who could push their pampered wishes.
Zi Lingyu didn’t know the act. The tight order Mrs. Jin gave her was to follow every words the woman ordered and the moves Li Lian made. Mrs. Jin stood from her place, taking steps to Zi Lingyu. The woman saw Mrs. Jin walk and how her hand raised. In fear, she shut her eyes when she felt the soft feeling of hand on her shoulders.
Zi Lingyu opened her eyes to see Mrs. Jin smiling toward her with a kind expression on her face. "Is that what happened? Li Lian must have tried to have your makeup ruined."
No, thought Zi Lingyu to herself. She saw how Li Lian was surprised and the woman has tried to find solution to the faucet that broke on her. It make Zi Lingyu to feel guilty to be on Li Lian’s bad side when the woman looked kind.
"I don’t think she did," said Zi Lingyu for Mrs. Jin to raise an eyebrow on her.
