183 Playing the Cards Righ (2/2)
”What about them?” He demanded through clenched teeth in a cold tone.
”Young master, Ms Lu's father and elder brother are on the gates of the Mansion with about thirty armed men of the Lu's force with them and forty men in secluded hidden places in the sixty-kilometre perimeter of the Mansion on stand by. What are the orders, Young Master?” The Butler replied with an indifferent tone as if reporting the weather.
Yu Youhan closed his eyes and took long breaths to calm himself or he would rather combust. Not even the Li Family had ever dared come on his doors armed to threaten him.
Were they martyr or simply fools? He could make them history in minutes just by issuing a single command!
It was a blatant insult and he should annihilate the whole Lu Family for an audacious step like that but what will he reply to his spitfire then?
She would probably strangle him in his sleep if even he were to look at her 'dear Family' the wrong way. he had a hunch yesterday didn't even touch the surface of her anger.
He huffed out a breath and spat through gritted teeth, ”Dump them in the living room...respectfully.”
He was about to hang up when a thought struck him.
Why should he play the customary move when he can shoot two birds with one stone...? He could clear his name and earn brownie points if only he played his cards right!
”No, instead tell them the way to Lu Xinyi's room.”
”As you see fit, Young Master.”
If her father and brother saw her in her room. They would assess everything and men as sharp as they are, would figure out at once that there was no illicit relationship between them and he was treating her with respect.
His name would clear and Lu Xinyi too will have no grudge to hold against him anymore. Then he could start everything afresh, this time through the legit channel.
A smirk crept on Yu Youhan's face. Now he just needed to wait for the ball to fall back in his court.
'KNOCK! KNOCK!'
Lu Xinyi door was knocked for the fifth time in the last hour.
She was angry with this routine but all she could do was huff. Shouting and snapping wasn't in her nature... except if it was a certain someone who always brought the worst out of her.
Putting her head out of the comforter, she sat on the bed. She was still sleepy!
She finger-combed her unruly golden-brown hairs. Her room was a mess with snacks packets brought yesterday by Yu Yuohan she called for the person to come in.
”Come in and say what you want to say, You have only one chance to!”
But the people who entered the room took literally her breath away. Lu Xinyi jumped out of the bed at once and her eyes widened in fear.
”Daddy.”
