LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 29: Qu Family
The usual prideful Mr.Qu dissolve to the wind once he welcome Li Lei. He also offer him to sit on the seat that was supposed to be the master of the household. Together with the lion carving on the top of the chair, his king-like demeanor was not only charismatic but also somewhat bewitching.
His manners and every inch of movement that he made could pull people to trance only to flaunt for his features.
He hold his phone in one hand and put his teacup down with another.
His usual cold and icy air have faded, a small trace of smile could be seen. Unconsciously, he had let his guard down and became careless. He forgot his usual cold and hard-to-approach atmosphere and smiles warmly while staring at Xiao Yun selfie that had become his phone wallpaper.
' Happiness or so what they called.... ' he tapped his cup
Li Lei was still staring at Xiao Yun selfie he didn't realize that his icy aura had been melted since a long time ago. It was the first time for him to feel all those warm fuzzy feelings.
He had no one he could reach too and after his parent's death, he resented everyone and even God who had taken his beloved one and only family in a few seconds.
Loneliness always filled his heart and unknowingly his heart has become hollow. Many people approach him with hidden intentions and he grew up along these treatments. Some people approach him wanting to become his friends, family, and lovers with only one thing on their thoughts, money, fame, and his parent's inheritance, that eventually fell to his foolish uncle's hands. ..
He who had nearly lost all his feelings and humanity was saved by his parents best friend and 'her'...
" Happiness.. " He mumbled out loud unconsciously with a quiet voice.
Mr. Qu's body tense as he heard Li Lei's voice, He held his face up with his tense muscles and tried his best to read the young man's expression. Once again, he assured himself and looked at him.
' It seems he was not talking to me ' thought Mr.Qu while sighing in relieve.
Mr.Qu who had been in the business world for years but still he couldn't predict the young man's thoughts.
Nervously, he bit his lower lips, thankfully, today Li Lei's expression shows no harm...
Perhaps.... he thought,
' He hasn't heard about the problem that Mei Xing had done to his fiancee? If He knew then... The whole Qu family will be damned! '
Of course, there's a reason for his fear, Once a big family fell to ruin because they dared to gossips about Mr and Mrs. Yu, and the news was well-known to all people in China, after all, he ruined a whole well-known family in only one day! There was no trace of that family anymore
it was a big warning from Li Lei to all people who dared to harm people near him.
" Eye for an eye, teeth for a teeth " The rules that Li Lei had made in order to protect the people he love.
There's a big rule among the people in the business world and one of them was " Not to mess with Li Lei acquaintances, especially, the Yu Families " and if you break this rule, no one could help you anymore.
" M...Mr. Li, what brings you here today? " The prideful Mr.Qu would never want to show his nervous and fear yet, he need to lower his pride in front of Li Lei.
Li Lei's expression didn't change, it was more like he was focused on another thing and didn't hear Mr.Qu was talking.
Embarrassed, Mr.Qu clears his throat lightly and kept silent.
Like father, like daughter... Mr. Qu is also well-known for his bad temper and egoistic. People need to bow down to him and he loved to step on other people's pride. He had already killed his own family in order to achieve where he is now, an arrogant person who would do anything to achieve his ambitions, even killing his blood-related family.
But, now everything was nearly ruined because his stupid daughter!
The fiery furious feelings still linger in his heart, but he couldn't show his anger to the man in front of him.
Their difference was akin to a King and a commoner, Like a Lion and a small mouse, he is nothing in front of this man.
He was truly on the end of his ropes! Nervously, his feet tapped the floor unconsciously. Waiting for Li Lei was the same as waiting for his own death sentence!
