Chapter 38 - Restless And Anxious

Smartass...

Her little stalker immediately switched off the lights before she could properly see the person beside the window.

Knock, knock...

"Madam, the dinner is served." said the Maid.

"Oh, Okay," Lina replied while staring at the dark window. "Hey, Who lives in the front villa?" She turned to see the maid standing at the door.

"Front villa? It's the Second Master's property." answered the maid as she blushed with a shy smile.

Lina's expressions were like 'Why is she blushing?', and then, 'Forget it...'

Lina got up to leave the room before startling the timid girl. "Is he married?"

"No," the maid's reply came within a fraction.

Lina raised an eyebrow and choked the girl with another one. "Does he have a child?" Hearing that, the maid's expression turned the ugliest and awkward.

Isn't she too blunt with her questions? Shameless woman. Does she think everyone produces a kid before the marriage?

Gauging her expressions, Lina chuckled. " No need to cuss me. I think I just saw a child there." In an instant, the maid's expressions turned frightened as she shuttered to reply. "N-No, H-he doesn't have a c-child. Ha, " she laughed hollow covering her fright and quickly denied.

She was frightened because previously Second Master Lu and Young Master Bai had given a good lecture to all servant and warned them if anyone opened their mouths in front of Lina or said a single word about Little Tiger, they will make sure that person will be sorry to born into this world. Doesn't matter intentional or unintentional.

Noticing the girl face broken into a sweat and shuttering speech, Lina's eye's narrowed in suspicion. "Then, he must have kidnapped someone's child? Am I right?"

"N-N-No. How could Second Master do something like that, he's very sweet and gentle. Oh...I'm sorry." Although she was praising Lu junhui yet none of the words seems reliable to Lina. When she saw the skepticism on Lina's face the maid started to cry and shut her mouth and bowed her head deep.

Lina felt pity for the girl. 'Am I too bossy or I just hit this girl sėnsɨtɨvė part?' She let her off. " Ok, Stop crying. Just kidding."

.....

Late at night, in high-class areas, in one of the apartments. The old lady's face looked extremely pale and upset. There was a file in front of her and a middle-aged woman standing near the sofa with an expression of worry clouding her face.

"Elder Li, what are your orders?" the old lady seems to be hesitant about something despite that she replied.

"Call Louwu, and verify the papers as soon as possible." Elder Li said in an insolence manner.

"Madam Li, He might refuse to cooperate. You know what kind of person he is."

" Then, offer him the price he wants." said the old lady indifferently.

The ȧssistant was shocked as she and the old lady knew what a huge price the man will be demanding. Still, Madam Li resolutely giving him liberty to charge.

Suddenly, Elder Li chuckled mockingly. "Just do it. If what was written in this paper is the truth then there's no need to pity Lina. She had gone overboard and I, no longer wants to support her. She has wasted everything she had."

The ȧssistant nodded her head. "Yes, Madam, I'll call immediately."

After the ȧssistant hung up the call. The lady reported back all the details.

"...at last Mr. Li agreed. He needed a week of time." The old lady nodded her head and said. " Prepare the required documents to close the deal and call Master Lu. I want to meet Lina the next week."

"Sure. All will be done."

.....

The next few days Lina was constantly tortured and bullied by Lu Junhui. There was a long list of 'Don't' and 'Do's' that he pasted the rules list on the walls. She wasn't allowed to use a cellphone or surf on the internet, to be precise he had cut all the means for her to connect the outer world. She was jailed.

Lina was already struggling greatly to heal her rotten body and to fight back with Lu Junhui when she can't even walk properly, she wants to erupt like a volcano.

Sure enough, with his bothersome intrusions in her everyday life, she is going to erupt like a supervolcano. She was holding back just for the day she gets better so that she can get even with him.

Within those days, aside from Lu Junhui's dictatorship, there was also one thing bothering Lina, somehow she felt restless and anxious.

Since the day she saw a flash of a little frame on that window, there was an unsettled feeling in her heart the whole time. Whenever she sat on the window she stared at the front villa for hours but didn't saw any movements as if she had an illusion on that day. There was no trace. She even asked many servants but everyone denied her ȧssumptions.

Since there was no confirmation so she stopped nagging. Still, Lina deliberately sat on the window sill every day as her anxiety didn't calm down and her heart was restless.
