264 Exorcising Li Yuan (2/2)

Lu Xinyi sure disliked Li Yuan with a passion and she spread the tales of his vileness as one believer would preach his faith, not that he didn't give people enough reason to.

He made sure after meeting him you had all the reason to plot his 'accidental' fall of his corporate building but couldn't do a thing about it, just burn with all the stocked up rage till it burst out.

Lu Xinyi sniffed and pursed her lips firmly then glared hard at the table, probably seeing his face there, ”I know, right! He didn't stop there with his wickedly devised schemes, he ran into me twice more, once I fell over the senator's wife who was ready to murder me and another time I crashed to the table and his Grandmother's Birthday huge cake toppled to the ground since then she would give me this mean sting eye! He even called me vile names: squirrel, chipmunk, and chihuahua!”

SuQing's eyes opened up to be enlarged like saucers dramatically and her mouth formed an 'O', ”Epitome of evil! This is vile!” She cried out in fake-rage.

”But that's not it! Both of these times he said it was my fault because I was too short and should hold an adult's hand or I would get run over by someone! He had too many girlfriends too and he always tried to annoy me! He is a monster!”

Su Qing's face contoured in several comical expressions before she set on grinning like a maniac and gave Li Xinyi a pointed look, ”I bet she would second that!”

”As if!” she whispered under her breath and couldn't help snorting.

Lu Xinyi gave Lei Xinyi a narrowed eye look but then shrugged and continued her munching on her semi-frozen Granita, she pointed her fork at them to make a pointer, ”Hmm…But then I just assumed he was a person of a horrible upbringing and a spoilt brat…” Lei Xinyi felt tear pricked her eyes trying to keep herself from laughing out like a maniac. Horrible upbringing! Spoilt Brat! He should really hear his this anti-fan.

”…but then I saw the evil glint in his eyes and how he would throw his back and laugh in all the wickedness and then I knew it right away!”

Lei Xinyi and Su Qing both burst out laughing, Su Qing even spits her drink. Lu Xinyi looked puzzled between the two to think whatever inside joke was that she missed and then started laughing too, unconvinced, thinking she didn't get the memo.

Lei Xinyi passed several spare napkins to Su Qing, dabbed her own face to reign in her crazier thoughts. If it was up to Lu Xinyi, she would sure exorcist Li Yuan any day now.

She flopped her hairs back and turned her face to Lu Xinyi and asked the question burning with curiosity in her, ”Is that why you ran away?”

She quietened at once and her eyes fell in her lap, she played with her fingers for minutes in silence contemplating her thoughts. She sighed and all her spirits huffed out of her, her voice only but a whisper, ”My friend told me all about him and how my life was going to be as a trophy wife. I didn't want that life…”

Poor, naïve Lu Xinyi didn't even notice that it wasn't common knowledge that she ran away. Lei Xinyi tsked. The girl was adolescent, inexperienced, and foolish. She sure was a protected child.

No wonder in her world all the evil came from devil pawns and demons. A girl like her wouldn't survive in the elite society a day before she would go berserk in a crying hysteria.

”…I didn't intend to run. I went to talk to Dad to annul the engagement because I didn't want that... but he refused. I was upset, everything was like closing in on me and I felt suffocated and drained. I wanted to get away, to breathe…”

She took a pause and sniffed, Lei Xinyi could see her eyes filling with unshed tears, ”From then everything is fuzzy, I felt overwhelmed and my head was spinning but I was too depressed to care. I don't remember anything clearly which maybe because of my amnesia. And then I met Yu Youhan. He saved me when my car crashed on his property.”

She pouted and her cheeks tinted with the heat of her emotions, her tears fell seconds before her voice cracked, ”He was…is my true best friend.”
