298 A Chat Between Madam Li And Lei Xinyi (2/2)

Dancers tend to have ugly feet like a peacock with beauty to succumb the viewers and all the grace to flummox yet feet that were ugly.

She had the grace of a dancer of a kind with just but enough interest to give her the posture and not mold her body, her every move as adept and graceful as such. She was drinking her juice without a bother with her hair down. Madam Li could see a peek of the dark angry hickeys on her long swan neck that she wanted to strangle so much.

That's when her eyes fell on her face, the exact copy of the girl she had seen growing up. None the less she could tell in just one look that this woman was far from the timid girl, Lu Xinyi. That girl was an innocent faery to entrap your heart for eternity and the one in front of her was an enchantress to suck the soul out of you!

With the young woman's delicate sharp features, no wonder her son was so whipped! Her cat-like eyes had an allure to send people in trance and those cherry red plump lips and high cheekbones. She was pale as the moon on a lonely night but with no naevus.

From here she could clearly see she wasn't wearing make-up at all and yet she could turn heads.

The differences between both girls were that the one in front of her was cunning, crafty, a murderer- a wild poisonous flower with thorns. And while the other couldn't even lure her son enough to get a kiss, this one had him wrapped around her little finger. She was breathtaking and she knew it.

Such women were dangerous.

Having been bred all her life in the upper society, Madam Li could tell with one glance a phoenix from a peasant dressed in silk and jewels. But it wasn't pretense, this much she was sure of, as she hadn't seen many with such mannerism. The girl was for sure from an influential Family… The Lei Family!

But nothing could console her of the fact that the girl was ambitious, scheming and a menace and her flashy background wasn't going to change anything.

Madam Li cleared her throat and gave yet another stink eye at her unfaltering composure. She had expected for the girl to explode and make a scene for Li Yuan where Madam Li could play the distressed mother.

She kept her glass on the table with a thud and sneered, ”You aren't the first woman to serve yourself on a silver platter to him to use, he will throw you to the curb faster than you get a retailer bill of the things you will loot from him!”

Lei Xinyi took another sip before placing the glass back without a sound, ”You seem proud of your upbringing.” She mused with a small smile

Madam Li's eyes bulged out and her face turned red in fury, the young girl was mocking her for her poor upbringing that molded him into a man who was a Casanova and an indifferent man!

She stood up and was about to slap her hand on the desk when the chorus of greeting entered their ears. Her eyes fell on Lei Xinyi who hosted a smirk on her face and took another sip yet elegantly. She at once sat down and opted to glare at the young woman.

Li Yuan entered and picked up the building tension between the women. His mother had a forced smile and Lei Xinyi had a smug smile but like an illusion it vanished, and was replaced by serene smiles of greetings.

He was dressed as impeccably as ever to the point of perfection. No wonder there were claims flying concerning him.

”What have you been discussing ladies?” His stern question was polite only as it was pronounced but the underlying threat was clear to every ear present in the room.
