'Gasp'
''I can't believe she was sullied even before she married Master. It is already enough that Master is not kicking her out of the house…''
''That child looks to be around 3-4 years old."
"Doesn't that means she gave birth to her when she was 17 or 18?"
"Look, what a beautiful child.''
"She must have got her father's genes."
"Miss Yu is beautiful too. She is just fat…"
"What are you calling her Miss for? She is an unwanted woman now…Humph!"
As soft as their voices were, those whispers seemed to be echoing in the quiet living room. Yu Mei hugged Mia tightly in her arms while she had her bag on her shoulder. She could hear all those voices.
But she walked out of the mansion without looking back.
As he looked at the little girl she was holding so protectively, his gaze flashed.
Jun Zixuan closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
He glanced at her retreating back before looking at the car keys thrown on the floor.
Following his Master's gaze, Steward Gu found himself speechless. Who told you to act like this if you are so worried about her?
Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at him.
Steward Gu nodded, understanding what the man meant as he walked to the side before making a call.
Yu Mei kicked away the pebble that came in her path as she glanced at the sun that was awfully bright today. Usually, the weather would not be this hot.
She sighed and continued walking forward while holding Mia awkwardly.
She wrapped an arm around the sleeping girl and searched for cabs on her phone using the other hand.
It was past 4 pm and as expected, there was not a single cab available at this location. After all, a person living in a mansion as expensive as this won't need it.
She wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand and walked out of the gates of the mansion before looking around. "Where will I find a cab?'' She mumbled to herself.
She decided to call Shi Luo for help but the call did not go through which reminded her that she might have already left for Amaranthine.
She sighed and glanced at the sky, 'You killed me in first life and I got no compensation. On top of that, my second life is so miserable. I want a refund.'
''Miss, where would you like to go?"
''Miss, come with me.''
''Why would she go with you?"
Three cabs appeared out of nowhere, stopping in front of her, as they fought for her amongst themselves.
Yu Mei looked at them for a moment before looking back at the sky, 'Usually, you don't respond to my prayers.'
''Miss, come here…''
Just as she was confused about which one would she take, a fourth cab came into her view. She raised an eyebrow before looking at the trio, "Sorry, I'm taking that one," She said and quickly walked towards the cab before getting inside.
"Miss, where are we going?" The old man glanced at her from the rearview mirror.
"Uh…" Yu Mei slumped back on the seat, "Just go round and round until I find a suitable stop," She said since she could not possibly go to uni dorms anymore since she didn't pay that day and the last date for dorm admission was long over.
Shi Luo's phone is switched off and she had no idea where she keeps her spare key in this new apartment.
''Uncle, why are there so many cabs in this place today?" She asked the old man curiously.
The man cleared his throat, "Our association has meeting nearby in some time.''
''Oh," She nodded, not doubting his words.
Back in the Ren mansion.
''Master, it's done," Steward Gu walked towards the man.
Jun Zixuan nodded and stood up and turned around to leave.
''Master, I know the truth might hurt you today. I feel guilty for bringing this to light in such a way. But I can't see that woman cheating on you…"
"You feel guilty?" Jun Zixuan turned around to look at the woman's face.
Lisa nodded, "I didn't want to do this but that…''
"I don't see an ounce of guilt on your face," The man raked his fingers through his golden ash blonde hair. The gold flecks in his dark brown eyes seemed to be shining under the crystal chandelier.
Lisa gulped, looking at how handsome he looked. Dressed casually in a black T-shirt and denim jeans, the man could make anyone go weak in legs.
His T-shirt seemed to be clinging to his body tightly, enhancing his rigid muscles and strong body. The short sleeves showcased his muscular biceps.
Since Yu Mei had splashed water on his face, it was still wet making him appear sexier.
How will it feel to have her legs wrapped around his waist and feeling his muscles? Lisa's heart raced as she forgot how to breathe for a moment.
Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes, "You don't want your eyes anymore?"
''Ah…?"
''Even I can not bring myself to go against her wishes, how dare you!" The man said coldly. "You are fired!''
Lisa finally came back to her senses at this moment, "W-What did I do?" She stuttered fearfully, retreating a few steps back under his cold gaze. Despite her slightly trembling body, she mustered her courage to speak, "S-She was keeping a child hidden in her room. I did all this because…Because I care for you. I revealed it to you so that you won't be fooled by her innocent appearance. How could you…How could you do this to me? I did it all because of you…" She walked closer to the man, "Master... I will serve you well. Please don't fire me.
"I can be worse," The corner of his lips tugged up as he glanced at her in disdain, "Try me."
His cold voice made all the people shudder as a sense of dread crept up in their hearts.
Jun Zixuan turned around and glanced at Steward Gu.
