Chapter 202 - A Special Child (1/2)

While all of them had lunch, Yu Mei could not help but think back to Shen Lihua's words.

'We don't know much about Li Na. She was a transfer student and because of how nice she was, it didn't take much time for the three of us to become friends. She had helped me a lot. All I know is she came from a rich family but we never knew anything in detail. The next time we met, she was your father's mistress and was pregnant with you. I..had asked her to leave that man but she said she was happy. But I knew she was not so we argued that day before I left. We did not meet each other for years as a lot was going on in my life. But when Zixuan was a few months away from turning 21, I received a letter from her reminding me of the betrothal. A few days later, she was no more.'

If she was rich, then why would she become a mistress?

The next day, Shi Luo left the villa along with Yu Jinhai who insisted on going with her. Mu Shen and Jun Boyan stayed with Shen Lihua. Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan too left as the latter had some unfinished work while the former wanted to meet Li Shuang.

”That way…” Yu Mei showed him the way to Li Shuang's apartment.

Jun Zixuan paused, ”What's wrong?”

”What?” She blinked.

”You have something that is bothering you.”

She gazed at his side profile quietly.

*Flashback*

Yu Mei walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe as she grabbed a dress from the wardrobe since they had to leave in 30 minutes.

'Knock Knock.'

”Come in,” She raised an eyebrow. Who could it be? Jun Zixuan will never knock before stepping inside the room. On the contrary, the man would suddenly pop from behind and hug her, scaring her at times.

”Are you ready?” Shen Lihua stepped inside.

”I…”

”I have something I want to talk about. You can dress up after that.”

Yu Mei nodded under her solemn gaze.

As they sat on the bed while facing each other, Shen Lihua was initially quiet before she spoke up, ”Ah Xuan is indeed a member of the Amaranthine Royalty.”

”You overheard our conversation?” Yu Mei's eyes widened. Did she hear everything…?
