Chapter 255 - I WILL SCREAM (1/2)

When Song Lili shed all pretence of cordiality, Chu Ling felt a painful pang in her heart. She had expended a lot of feelings in nurturing her relationship with the younger woman. When her parents had experienced some difficulties overseas with their business, Song Lili had called her.

She had put aside her reservations about interfering with Zhong Industries and asked her husband to help the Song family. When something happened with Song Lili, she would call her and congratulate her and even send a red packet. ​​

She had raised a creature without conscience.

And her son would suffer because of her inability to see through a scheming woman.

”What do you want?” She asked directly.

Song Lili knew that the negotiations were open and smiled with a calculating look in her eyes.

Hu Fai did not know about the drama happening in the house. He was an obedient boy, so he focussed on tending to the flowers. He removed the weeds just as Chu Ling had taught him and pruned the dead materials from the plants.

”What a hardworking child!” A voice spoke from behind him.

Hu Fai turned his head quickly in fear. He had not heard anyone come into the garden. If someone was looking for him, they would not appear without a word.

He looked at the old man who had just spoken and wondered if he should shout or run. He had been warned not to interact with a lot of strangers, even inside the mansion. Chu Ling was afraid that he would accidentally blurt out his identity.

”Who are you?” He said warily, deciding to confront the man directly.

The old man laughed at the cautious look on the child's face. He felt like he was an evil person, but he was also amused by the reaction.

”Who are you?” He responded in a cheeky manner that was characteristics of old carefree men who became like children as they grew older.

”I asked you first. If you do not answer, I will scream.” Hu Fai explained clearly.

”I don't believe that you will scream.” The old man looked down at Hu Fai while stroking his beard with a glint of challenge. He was certain the teenage boy would be too embarrassed to scream for help.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.
