Chapter 51 - Lus Confrontation In Jail (1/2)
---with Lu Meili---
Following the humiliation at Yue's Gathering, Lu Meili lost the general support from Yue Yeager. As for her Aunt Lu Jia, she had hidden the ȧsset cleverly somewhere before her imprisonment. Lu Meili tried to compromise with the maids to get a lead, but as a fat chance, she was empty-handed.
Although there was no income, Lu Meili lived her days lavishly, but the situation won't last long. What's more, she didn't want to live in a life full of poverty because she suffered a lot during her childhood days. Even now, her savings were insufficient for her to live in the future. While contemplating over her circumstance, Lu Meili envied Yue Wan's prosperousness fate of having Generations of fortunes.
Lu Jia caged Lu Meili as a chess piece against Yue, so she danced similar to a puppet with strings attached that shouldn't have any selfish dėsɨrės. Therefore she detested her Aunt to the core of the earth. And consequently, she evaded reaching or contacting her Aunt in Jail. To the point where she disregarded Lu Jia's existence, until two days ago, some police charged into her home with a Search Warrant in their grasp, ”Please, co-operate with our investigation.”
After searching for three consecutive hours, they didn't discover anything, and even Chief Shen came in-person to do the pursuit. During their obligation, an official close to Chief Shen claimed, ”There is no indication of that cash.”
Lu Meili's eyes lighted up after hearing the word cash, so she cautiously listened to their discussion, 'How much did that Old bit**h had in her pocket?' She split in her heart, thinking about the crafty mind of the Foxy-Witch.
And here, Lu Meili's eyes were widened in surprise on hearing the amount from the officers, though she knew how cunning that Old-Witch was, yet at the same time she never would've imagined that bit**h had a wealth of 50 Million, 'Shi**t, Now I have to bootlick her again.'
---in Jail---
After the little episode, Lu Meili devised a plan to visit her Aunt in Jail. Since she was her Aunt's most intimate relative, it didn't take much time for her to get the visitor pass. She waited for her Aunt in the booth, with a telephone next to her. Before her Aunt arrives, Lu Meili carefully organized her statements to speak because this was her only chance to close to 50 Million. She even draped in shabby cloth, and seemed to have, dark circles under her eyes, also her skin appeared to be tanned.
'Click...Click,' the sound of metal hitting another metal was heard.
The other side door was open where Lu Jia emerged from it with guards on her side. Before giving her access, the guards removed her handcuff and reminded her disinterest voice, ”Only 10 minutes, use it wisely.”
