177 Looked Like Her (2/2)

Bao Bai didn't expect that this maid would have the courage to sue her at court. With that, her fake white lotus appearance crumbled and she exclaimed with great fury, ”You!”

The two of them simultaneously turned to look at Lu Shen. If he intended to side with Bao Bai, suing at court was useless. Ultimately, he was their judge, jury, and executioner.

But Lu Shen only looked dazed.

”Lu Shen?” asked Bao Bai tentatively, not knowing what happened for him to look so absent-minded.

Her voice succeeded in waking him up. Lu Shen shook his head. What was the matter with him? How could he think that this maid somehow looked like her? There wasn't even a single feature that was similar to the girl in his memories.

”Stop calling me so informally.” His voice had returned to it's usual wintry chill. ”Miss Bao, if you ever dare to slap anyone under my employ again, I'll be the first person to put you in jail. Interrogating you in my home or in prison doesn't matter much to me. Remember that you are a guest, and staying here is a temporary luxury. Don't overstep your bounds.”

Then he turned to look at the maid. He should just dismiss her and have the butler take care of her wounds, but the words that came out of his mouth was, ”Follow me into my study.”

While Lu Shen regretted it as soon as he said it, he could only turn his back from her and indifferently stride out of the room. If there was nothing else, he could order her to do random tasks.

Hui Yin made a face at his retreating back. Unwilling to be left in the living room with the fuming Bao Bai, she quickly tailed Lu Shen into his study. Maybe she could sneakily peek at his documents and see if there were any information about the Wen family!

Hui Yin was very familiar with Lu Shen's study. Aside from the sunroom, this was where he tasked her to help him in handling all of his workload. It was a bigger version of his study in the villa, and Hui Yin bowed her head as soon as she entered.

She felt a bit dizzy.

It seemed that it was only yesterday when the two of them were here, discussing what Lu Shen had uncovered about the culprit's identity. His computer lingo, the laptop that was facing her, his implied threat that he wouldn't let her leave...[1]

Her eyes dropped on the red string that he wore around his wrist. She was a bit surprised that he still wore it. It didn't suit him, and it was a reminder of the wife that he reluctantly married. He should have gotten rid of it.

Thinking of the red thread that tied their fates together, Hui Yin's expression became somber.
