"They act as if Wang Yue is their daughter and I am an adoptive child. Even though I know it's wrong, I still felt disgusted whenever they forced me to meet her when I only took her as a sister!" 

Sun Xumei's eyes smiled as she went ahead and kissed his forehead and whispered, "Don't worry. Nobody will force you anymore. She's already married and has a son."

​​

"Hmm…"

"Also, bring Xixi to the main mansion. Or else, people might think I am not letting your parents meet their granddaughter."

"I won't. Didn't you hear what I said? Over my dead…"

Smooch~ Sun Xumei blocked his ominous words back into his lips with a smooch

"…" Luo Lixi clenched her eyes and pretended, 'I am deaf! I am deaf! I am deaf!'

Smooch~ Smooch~

"…" Luo Baiyun. 

"Won't you still go?" Sun Xumei asked with glaring eyes. 

After Luo Lixi was born and she became a mother, Sun Xumei understood a lot of matters and tried to imagine what it would feel like if her child disobeyed her and refused to let her see her grandchild. The feeling was truly… unbearable!

Luo Baiyun smirked and whispered hoarsely, "Three isn't enough. Give me five more… Then, I will consider…"

Smooch~ Smooch~… 

The poor Luo Lixi who was forgotten and became a pancake between her two parents, 'Ruming! Save me!'

A figure sneaked up to the entrance of the Wang Mansion. She showed a special token to the guard and got an easy entry. 

After being fired by Luo Baiyun, the old nanny didn't waste time and went to her true master. 

Upon entering the Wang Mansion, she straight went to the back of the mansion and found a very young maid. 

"Mother, why are you here?!" The maid was very ecstatic as she saw her mother after nearly three months. 

"Ssh. Go to Miss Yue and tell her I have something to say. It's important! Go!" The old woman pushed the young girl towards the inner hall room. 

The maid nodded and went away in hurried steps. The former old nanny of Luo Lixi stood in a corner and hid from the eyes of other people. 

After a while, her daughter came and brought her to a room and locked it from behind as she stood guard beside it. 

"Speak." The voice of an extremely beautiful lady rang out in the whole room. When the old nanny subconsciously tried to see clearly, she noticed Wang Yue walking towards her in a tight fit blazing red qipao. 

The thing covered from her neck till upper thigh. The extremely glossy red lipstick made her look like a real demoness when accompanied by her long eyelashes. Not to say, the recent trendy curly short hair. 

The nanny shifted her eyes to the ground and shuddered when she spoke, "Miss Yue, forgive me. I-I was fired!"

Wang Yue was nonchalant as she asked indifferently as she went past her, "Why?"

"I don't know but yesterday, Young master Luo suddenly asked me about his daughter. After a while, without saying anything, he fired me…"

Wang Yue eyed the shaking woman as she walked up to the tea-table. She took her leisure time to make a good cup of tea. After she took a sip, she nodded in satisfaction and spoke as if she was confused.

"Why would he?! I know him more than anyone. Without any reason, he won't fire anyone. Also, it's not even past three months since he hired you. Why then…"

When the old nanny lifted her eyes, she was met by Wang Yue's frosty dark eyes. The old woman instantly remembered the horrifying gossip her young daughter once told her. 

[Miss Yue is more ruthless than her father. Once a servant lied to her and in return, she whipped her until the poor girl's bone showed up… So scary~]

The old nanny was very scared. In her mind, she felt as if she would go through the same predicament if she lied. She wouldn't want that as her life was dear to her!

"Forgive me, Miss! Forgive me! I was very greedy and stole some things from that wench Sun Xumei. She must have told that to Young master Luo and got me fired!"

Even though Wang Yue was displeased and intended to flog the old hag to death but hearing her calling Sun Xumei a wench, her heart was pleased. 

But in the next moment, her face hardened as she inquired. "Forget it. Tell me the real matter. Did you do your job properly? What is the result?"

After all, that wasn't the era of android phones and people rarely used landline phones. Not to say the phone of Luo Villa couldn't be used to call in Wang Mansion or the old nanny would be exposed! 

"Yes. Every time, someone from the Luo mansion called, I told them Sun Xumei doesn't want to talk with them. As per your instruction, I did everything and prevented the little girl from leaving the boundary of the Luo Villa." 

After all, the butler of the Luo Mansion had placed some guards outside of the Luo Villa. Their work was to kidnap the little girl and bring her to that old woman. 

While saying, the woman sighed and thought in bitterness, 'Where did the old hag find the black & white photo of Baiyun's daughter?'

"Alright." Wang Yue nodded as she stood up and opened a mini locker which was placed on the least eye-catching side of the room. After retrieving a stack of cash, she threw the bundle on the ground. 

The old nanny's eyes lit up as she hurriedly crawled ahead to pick the money. But when she touched the money, something pressed on her hand firmly.

"Ah!~" The old woman cried out in pain. 

"Don't you dare stay in this city. If I see you again, both your daughter and son won't have a good future! Understand?" Wang Yue's ferocious eyes flared up like a vengeful snake when she eyed the disgusting old woman on the ground. 

"Yes, yes!" The old woman nodded again and again. Only when Wang Yue was satisfied, did she move her leg away. 

The old woman bowed for the last time and escaped from the room in a panic. While leaving, she bumped into a man. 

"Be careful." A man's deep voice rang around the place. When the old woman lifted her head, she was mesmerized by the angelic face of the other person. When it was joined with his white coat, the man became even more dazzling. 

"Sorry! I am so sorry!" The nanny guessed the identity of the man and apologized, again and again, her head bobbing up and down in the process. 

While in the room, Wang Yue stiffened when she heard the voice. A trace of resentment flashed in her dark eyes and went away In a second. 

After the old woman left, the man turned ahead and entered the room. Wang Yue was drinking her tea 'leisurely' and upon seeing him, she 'smiled' and put the cup down on the table before her. 

"You are back." A kind smile flashed on the lady's face. 

"Yes." Li Jibian nodded as he walked towards her. Wang Yue stood up and went ahead to help him take off the coat. Then she adjusted his round glasses and brought him to the sofa. 

"Ah Ji, do you want to drink tea or water?" Wang Yue asked as her eyes fell on the tea table. 

"Water." the man replied as he looked around. Wang Yue poured water into a teacup and handed it to the man. Rather than drinking it, the man asked with a frown, "Where is Haixiao?" 

"He… must be with father." Wang Yue replied with uncertainty as she didn't know about her four years old child's whereabouts. 

Li Jibian didn't say anything as he concentrated on his teacup. It wasn't a new matter to him yet he couldn't help but ask every time, just to hear his wife's voice a little bit more. 

Both of them didn't say anything for quite a while when Wang Yue spoke out calmly, "Ah Ji, tomorrow night, we have a dinner appointment." 

"Hmm… Where?" Li Jibian asked as he stood up and went to change his sweaty clothes. 

"In… Luo Mansion." Wang Yue finally threw the bomb on the man's head despite knowing he would hate to go there. 

Hearing the name, the man paused for a moment but didn't stop taking off his clothes. Wang Yue turned around to avoid looking at his figure and said, "Make sure to come earlier." 

"I can't come." Li Jibian suddenly said. He didn't even glance at her after she mentioned Luo Mansion's name.

"Why?" Wang Yue's eyes narrowed as she glared at the man's back. 

"I am working on an extremely important project. Can't make it in time." The man muttered out as he turned to her, only to see her back on him. His heart hurt because of her cold treatment. 

"Fine then. I will take Haixiao with me. No need for you to come" She said without care and left the room. Li Jibian stared at the closed door. Underneath his dark eyes, huge storms were brewing which nobody could detect.
