272 Siren In Her Waters (1/2)

It was hard to detect for whom was the pity she was expressing. Was she pointing it at her…it awfully did, it seemed!

She swept her hairs that were done to one side and began loosely binding the rest of the hairs in similar ringlets. With feathery soft touches, she played with the threads of silk in her handling.

The story of Madam Li sure made Lei Xinyi feel a little respect for the woman who survived a lot and yet in the eyes of the world didn't crumble and break as she was devastated on the inside but except for a little sympathy, no strong emotion was evoked!

In her eyes, Li Yuan's mother was still a snobbish b*tch! The woman was cruel enough to kick a girl to a curb who was supposed to be the wife of her son without a thought when she didn't even know the girl!

Your suffering doesn't clean off your dirty hands!

Though Lei Xinyi knew, the woman doing witchcraft on her hair didn't tell her all that to make her feel bad about their Master's mother…

Housekeeper Yang could see the curiosity gnawing at the young female insides, it was a matter of tactic and she would go around looking for answers, ”The women Li's choose, they stay, no matter what. His mother, Grandmother, and woman before them did. But they were all sheltered, dainty..women with futures. You are…”

So what was the moral of her story? To submit to your husband's whims no matter how much of an assh*le he proves to be!

This awfully looked like a threat! Lei Xinyi narrowed her eyes at the woman and demanded, ”Why are you here?”

Now Lei Xinyi could see it the woman was trying to show her how she would live like that too. She was showing her Li Yuan was a man like his family's males too. lIke she was readying hr to face her marital life...

It was like giving her a loud awakening that Li Yuan was in his infatuated period and soon which will turn into fascination and then an obsession.

She like all the other women in the Li Family who will just be an accessory to its male occupants.

But her purpose was still not clear. Why did she want to tell her all these things? What was in it for her?

The woman was one of the most loyal women in Li Yuan's staff and her honesty and dedication weren't challenged but what was the woman's purpose in coming to her was a trench-deep mystery.

Housekeeper Yang stares at the direct woman for a while before opening her lips that were pressed together.

”Young Master Li informed the kitchen to slack off in the dinner this evening. Presumably, he is taking you on a date.” She took a pause to gauge the young woman's reaction. Unbothered or…she was acting unbothered, ”He has never taken a woman on a date.”

”Oh?” Lei Xinyi drawled uninterestingly as she stared at her reflection. Her makeup was almost non-existence; lip balm, eyeliner, and azure eye shadow blended with black in the edges perfectly matching with her dress.

She was totally getting irritated by the woman's way of thinking. She could care less if he was taking her to a fancy hotel for a dinner. The fact was such gestures were uncharacterized for her.

She didn't grow up imagining her first date, first kiss, or first-ever s*x with the love of her life so it was like things were being dealt with as they came but she had no set standards as it wasn't a priority so anything was unbothered.

Observing Lei Xinyi wasn't taking her seriously Housekeeper further demonstrated her plans, ”It's like a cycle just different characters, though they were all foolish in love and you are cunning and calculated as they come.”

Lei Xinyi snorted at the compact insult of the overly grown woman and gave her a mock salute with her two fingers, ”Thanks for the recognition.”

If the woman was looking for embarrassment or a little drama she was knocking on the wrong door. She was totally cool with what she was, it hardly mattered what people had to say to her!

She just wasn't wearing a mask, all women when provoked were like this and if they weren't, they were idiots!

The Housekeeper scowled and gave her a look that showed her contempt for the kind that she is, ”But you are no spitfire or Prissy, not even a…prude. You can already see where it is heading, you are leading him on!”
