Chapter 528 - Biting the hand that fed her

What she didn't know, sadly, was that there was a sound-tapping device in her room. 

In the room on the side of the wall, a woman sneered with her blood-red lips. The brand of her lipstic was top-notch, but the color did not suit her. It managed to look quite appaling on her. 

Since the woman didn't know that, she carried herself around with arrogance. She had spent a lot of effort to find out the brand of make up that Katy Blanc used. In the end, why would Katy be the only one who looked beautiful? She had copied the brand and used it as she pleased.

She gritted her teeth. "Dream on Katy Blanc. Lin Lihua must divorce Henry Blanc. If she doesn't, it wouldn't be easy for me to take over Le Blanc Group, thanks to her hardwork. I heard she saved Lin Industries from near bankruptcy very many years ago. I will not let her do the same thing for Le Blanc Group.

She stared at a photo of Katy Blanc, flicked a lighter and placed it at the top left corner of the photo. "I have worked very hard. Katy Blanc, I will not let you ruin my plans."

The next day, Lu Meili did not have a lot to do, so she woke up later than usual. She freshened up and went downstairs, but the scene she met made her narrow her eyes. What the hell was Ruoxi doing in the house? 

"Meili, you are finally here. I was waiting for you." Ruoxi smiled sweetly. 

However, her sweet smile only brought chills onto Lu Meili's spine. If it was before, she would have been decieved by that fake smile but after learning the truth, she was terrified of her. 

She had been adopted by Lin Lihua during her most helpless time. Lu Meili could even remember how when they were little kids, Ruoxi was scared of everyone thanks to her horrifying experience in the orphanage. Even a little girl like she was back then could scare her into thinking that Lin Lihua could possibly abandon her. 

Lin Lihua loved her and took care of her like she would her biological child. Although Henry Blanc didn't love her more than he loved Katy, he treated her well enough for one to think that she was his biological daughter as well.  How did it change? 

How did it get to Ruoxi becoming such an ungrateful ingrate, biting the very hand that fed her?

The very hand that embraced her when she was lonely and coaxed her when she was sad. How did she get the courage to chop it off? 

And, what exactly would she gain from framing Katy? Was she trying to break the Blanc family apart? 

Lu Meili clenched her fists at her sides. Despite being the nation's best actress, she could hide every other type of feeling except hatred. If she hated anyone, it would be obvious as day. That was because she couldn't bother to hide her dislike for anyone. That would only tempt her to stab them right through their heart. 

"Meili, why are you glaring at me so fiercely? You are not happy to see me?" Ruoxi retreated and asked innocently. Jeez! Lu Meili's glare was too scary! It did not pale in comparison to Lu Aotian's. 

Lu Meili was about to speak but sometithing crossed her mind. Her motherkhad found out the truth about Ruoxi's real character and logically, so had her father. Why then did they let her into their villa to look for her? They must have a good reason for that. 

She felt that she should not her claws yet. 

She brought out the best of her acting skills and beamed a warm smile. "I'm not feeling well. I drank a little too much last night." 

Ruoxi put on a caring act and held Lu Meili by the elbow. "You didn't drink any hangover soup? It's not too late, you can drink some now and you will feel much better." 

Lu Meili walked across the room and flopped her body into a sofa, curling into a ball. She looked truly unwell. Even her face had become a little pale...

As expected of the nation's best actress. "Actually, my mom gave me sobering soup as soon as Iarrived. However, I still feel horrible. I only took two glases of wine!" 

While Lu Meili looked like she was just casually complaining, it was not just that. She was trying to lay a trap just for the sake of confirming Ruoxi's true intention. 

Ruoxi sat beside her and like a caring elder cousin, embraced Lu Meili. The girl felt like she had been struck like lighting and wanted to shove this pretentious woman. She remembered in time that she was 'feeling unwell' and 'had not discovered Ruoxi's true colors'. Feeling extremely helpless, she could only continue acting like a pitiful little kitten. 

Ruoxi patted her head. "How could that be? You only drank two glasses and got drunk? Is your alcohol tolerance level that low? 

However, it's not entirely shocking. I heard Aunty Wan Jia's alcohol tolerance is also pitifully low. She cannot even handle more than one glass." 

Lu Meili held her head. Of course, that was Wan Jia. But was alcohol tolerance hereditary? She really wanted to roll her big eyes. She still continued acting pitiful, though. "It has never been this low. To be exact, I only drank one glass and a half. I have attended many banquets before and I didn't get drunk even after several of them." 

Ruoxi curled her lips into a smile. Before Lu Meili caught sight of it, she bit onto them, acting like she was restless. "Meili, I don't know if I should tell you."
