258 Degraded Socialite (2/2)

Lei Xinyi scoffed and rolled her eyes, ignoring her jab, ”Have you called the tramp?”

Su Qing eyes glinted mischievously and she smirked, ”I did. It wasn't hard to convince a little miss-goody on a post-teen rebellious phase.”

Lei Xinyi shared mutual excitement. In her agenda there was nothing more thrilling than messing with people of influence and getting away with it, it had a kick to it. And Yu Youhan was entertainment on another level!

Su Qing gave her a once over and nodded, though she looked like a load, snob socialite, she was unrecognizable ”I have to say your 'I am suspicious but I don't have a bounty on my head' look is pretty discrete. Ash-blonde is in the season after all.” She tapped her chin and appraised in amusement.

Lei Xinyi grunted and nodded nonchalantly. The fact was that it was only a precaution because no man in his right brain would look for a criminal like her in a High-Class Mall.

They came out of the door and were about to cross the living room where the Butler was standing when they were halted mid-step, standing there with a covered tray in his gloved hand.

”Madam Lei, Miss Su.” He respectfully acknowledges them with a bow, ”Madam Lei, can I have a word with you.”

Lei Xinyi looked away and then nodded. It was obvious it was one of Li Yuan's whim or whatever it was waiting on the other side. And if he was order-bound there was no benefit arguing with the Butler he was bound by his Master's command and could go to extreme measures to fulfill it.

She indicated Su Qing to move to her ride. Su Qing gave her a lingering look before nodding and leaving. When she was out of sight Lei Xinyi turned to the Butler with a raised a brow.

The Butler took the cover off the tray and extended it to her, ”Madam Lei, Young Master Li wanted you to have it. He wanted to give it to you but it arrived just an hour ago. Mater informed me to tell you, to have a good day.”

There were the contacts, a black card, and keys, which were obviously of a car, lying in the silver tray weightlessly, despite their value raised in blood.

She flinched for a second before her lips set into a frown and she picked the contract papers and gave the Butler her professional smile, ”Thank you, Butler Yang. I hope your Master has a good day too.”

The dry humor in her tone wasn't missed by the middle-aged man. Initially, he wanted to see her next move looking at a black card in front of her, especially when she was heading to shopping.

He straightened forward. He had to give this to her as his Master's command but all this reservation could be just for show. Women were full of it.

Lei Xinyi was about to pass by him when the Butler blocked her path, ”Madam Lei, the Master insisted.” His voice was even as if sucked of all emotions and fluctuations.

Lei Xinyi let out a sardonic laugh and rolled her eyes at the man, ”Butler Yang, here I am trying to be on my best behavior. I am a woman with a thin thread for patience and there are other ways to humiliate me. So tell your Master to keeps his generosity limited to fundraisers!”

The Butler stood there stunned for a moment before realization dawned upon him that it was fast-forward going south. Women who were career oriented and egoistic didn't like being hand-fed!

And this Lei Xinyi was a self-made person with her name engraved in her tormented victims. Of course! She took the offense.

He took a hesitant step in her direction, ”Madam Lei, you are misunderstanding it. Young Master just wants you to be comfortable and well-provided for. He cares about your well-being...”

Lei Xinyi took a deep calming breath and turned away, ”Whatever.”

She was reading the contract, more like glaring at it. It was just so embarrassing to depend on a man for anything when all her life she had known herself to be self-sufficient. She never needed anyone! And now comes a man who thinks he can be her provider.

She was by no means poor but everything she owned was either with her father or in her apartment which was being watched.

It was humiliating to be treated as such as a degraded socialite like it was the only thing hanging her on.
