Chapter 136 - Get A Hold Of Herself

Lu Jun-hui stood still on the spot, his mind working frantically through a daze of anxiety and confusion then he ran after her nagging behind for the answers, "Li Na! What did he do? Tell me! Was it Li Cheng that kidnapped you? If it is, then I'll make sure he'll rot in jail for..."

Amused, Li Na turned around and spoke casually, "Oh...really! And how are you intended to do you that?" but then something hardened in her gaze.

Flustered, Lu Jun-hui struggled to speak, "I-I-I'll ask my brother to...'" 

Li Na rolled her eyes and said as she turned to walk, "Forget it! Your brother won't even listen to you on this matter let alone he'll do anything significant,"

"That's not true! You're don't know my brother...he's not as indifferent as he pretends to be, he cares immensely... a-and for our security, he can go to any length..." Lu Jun-hui defended his brother with unwavering confidence.

"Including me!? Are you sure?" Li Na raised her brows, and a dispatch smile loop around the corner of her lips as she climbs the staircase of the large balcony that directly lead towards the huge sitting area between their and Little Tiger's bedroom.

"Obviously, no doubt about that," Lu Jun-hui replied meekly and heeled behind her.

Li Na threw him a nasty look that made Lu Jun-hui reconsidered what he just said and after rethinking he felt as if he himself couldn't entrust the word, then how would she believe in it. "My brother might not like you but he must be concerned for your safety even if he would never say directly."

"Lu Jun-hui! I might have believed you only if this matter concerns just safety...but sadly it involves... money, prestige, business...so it's my kind request for you...please stay away from this. Let it go..."

"But Li Na...I'm just trying to..." Lu Jun-hui pleaded, rushing forward to arbitrate his stance.

Bolstered, her fingers gripped the doorknob strongly, she paused something dark flicker in her eyes. "I don't want to see my Little Tiger mourn over his uncle's death." Li Na said coldly.

Deadened, Lu Jun-hui gasped, as though a lightning bolt struck him hard, "How could you say..." heartbroken that she thinks of him so lowly and a meek man.

"I can say much worst...but just for the sake of your fragile ego I just warned you, it's up to you what you conclude," she said ruthlessly, "Now, excuse me," and then she disappeared behind the door, shutting the door on his dumbstruck face, leaving a bitter and disdained Lu Jun-hui behind. 

He stared at the shut door, staggering back to his feet, and then turned around and walked out as he inwardly cursed himself for believing that Li Na has changed for good and they could be friends but soon he realized she the same old mean and heartless girl, who don't give a damn before saying cruel things.

Behind the door, Li Na heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Lu Jun-hui's retreating steps in the distance. And as she recalled the bitter words, appearing dejected by the way she had to behave with Lu Jun-hui she leaned back to take the support to convince herself, she did it for his own good. She doesn't want Lu Jun-hui to get involved in this deadly battle where the life of a person is as cheap as dirt. Nobody cares who lives and who dies. And she doesn't want Lu Jun-hui to be involved in this anyhow that might lead to life-threatening situations which the inexperienced guy won't be able to handle. She didn't care what Lu Jun-hui might be thinking of her anyways she will not stay longer here nor she has time to act goody-goody.

Straightening up, she went to the closet and took out a heavy file of names and details of the family members which was given by Lu Jun-hui previously. The file also contains the information of Li Na's property and stakes under her name. Her eyes scanned over Li Cheng's info as his competence in computing and he is now mainly operating Li Enterprise business and stopped to notice his father's name; Li Louwu. The hardness on her face sharpened. About this man, she should have guessed it earlier.

Day went by studying, closing the file, and keeping it with her notebooks, Li Na then turned to rummage through the lipstick set, where she had kept the lipstick with a drug bottle from Guo Jie. She stuffed that too in her bag as she went to dress herself, cautiously picking her a suitable outfit.

Tying the lace of her shoes which were too pretty for her own taste, she stomps her heels to find strength as she got up to look into the mirror. Li Na sighed as her eyes noticed, they clearly felt uncertainty and conflict, she stared and stared to get a hold of herself. But for the time in her experience, she felt as if it was too difficult not to get frightened by the risk she is taking with her life. She knows it is the thought of Little Tiger, that's making her legs feel unsteady to go ahead obstinately. But she also needs to know whatever little of the truth about Li Na's past she could found. Yesterday night proved to be a cruel reminder for her.

It's not too late for her to realize that she doesn't have any of the choices between the forgetting Li Na's past and move on to focus on strengthening the future with Little Tiger. She has to attain balance and venture, and in this, she might end up losing both. Her death will be the most manageable consequence out of this as the path she was about to risk might lead her to fall into endless darkness or madness or separation from Little Tiger forever. Her fist tightened. I'm not Li Na! she told herself. 

I won't end up like Li Na, Never! She whispered and a firm resolute shone in her eyes she won't take one more defeat, the last one caused her to suffer miserably through this situation and she can't take anything worst than this she thought as she swung and walked out of the room. 

The last sliver of the setting sun fell on her frame as Li Na was about to step outside the entrance. When a stern voice stopped her from behind. "Where are you going?" 

Li Na spent a moment to fortify herself and braced u to face the brute in her life. The man was standing outside his study room, a pen dangling between his fingers he stood there leaning with one elbow placed on railings as if he had been leisurely watching her cross the grand hall from the staircase to the wide door until he decides to poke her.

"Work!" she said and held her breath. He slowly straightened, staring intently at her. Then for a moment, his eyes moved to his wristwatch and noted the time as he glared at her again. 

"What work? And who allowed you to go outside?" he stated gravely.

She could tell he was furious and Li Na flared up in annoyance and been unable to held restriction anymore. She glared at him for a moment and then she turned to simply walk out of the door giving no clarification.
