272 Siren In Her Waters (2/2)

She aligned all of her ready curls and ran comb lightly in them making them a little loose. Perfect!

Her hair were so adaptable they were every stylist dream. She had done courses when she was serving the old Madam Li. They were so silky that one could feel them slipping through fingers like water.

Her hair was something to envy. In the truth of words, everything about her was enviable except her fate.

She eyed the woman with hooded eyes but then her eyes reflected her apprehension instead of her appreciation, ”Any other woman, he would have selected would have literally wailed and howled at the mention of the things he does for a living.”

Now Lei Xinyi could see her getting on her nerves with all the spiral bullsh*t and decided to intervene.

”Old Lady, stop beating about the bush and get on with it already.”

The woman looked at her in astonishment at her manners and then her face set into a scowl like she was telling herself to have expected it.

Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes at the melodrama. By experience, she knew no one deserved respect because their ass turned haggard and wrinkly. People were respected for what was their essence left in the places they passed by.

And a nasty manipulative woman, who was trying to have her locked in her palm wasn't topping any lists right now.

”Beauty and the beast were but a tale, any other Belle would have consoled her breaths. He would have ruined her. But you young lady are of his kind.” She inched closer to her smoothing her hair by running her soft hand in her mane, ”Women to women, you think you have him wrapped around your pinky finger. He might surprise you.”

He may but what was she trying to achieve here…

Lei Xinyi's eyes hardened and her face blanked out, ”Are you trying to maneuver me here?” Her placid question concealed all her venomous ideas.

Now the Housekeeper looked smug to have gotten through her shield of indifference, ”No dear, I am just making sure you know the waters you are treading in.”

Lei Xinyi's eyes turned glacier cold at her words, and her voice resembled the cold in her twin pairs, ”A Siren doesn't need directions diving in her own waters.”

The Housekeeper added the final touches to her hair and snorted, ”You act all brave and haughty to hide that fragile core of yours….I can see why a woman like you could be the only one who would survive beside him…”

Lei Xinyi turned to her with an immediate smirk on her face and cut her off, ”You do realize I can tell all these great set of stories you have to Li Yuan, right?”

She stood up and rounded the middle-aged stunned woman who instantly went pale and out of words. So much for a woman with everything planned!

”That too in tears…” Lei Xinyi drawled with malevolence marring her every word.

She could do that and anyone here who had seen Li Yuan in front of her knew he would believe her above all and not to mention the woman was a damn good actor!

Housekeeper's eyes widened in rage as her mouth dropped in exasperation as if she never even considered the possibility ”You…

With a wave of her, she gave her most innocent smile, and patted the Housekeeper's cheeks, ”Don't worry though. I can keep a secret… till I can.”

This was a subtle warning for her to not meddle in her business so she is not a thorn in her side and by the looks of it the woman understood it well enough. After all, Lei Xinyi could cause her far more damage than the Housekeeper could dream of!

She went ahead to pick the dress that was laid on the bed to get changed into it.
