251 The Snooping and Live Shows

Su Qing expression none the less darkened at the blunt attitude of the Housekeeper and she took a threatening step forward in the woman's direction to put her in her place.

Lei Xinyi abruptly held Su Qing's wrist of the hand that was loosening on her elbow and gave her a look that told her to halt.

Su Qing, although a very down-to-earth woman because of Lei Xinyi's influence in her life but that didn't under-shadow the fact that she was a spoilt Missus of an influential Family and looking at the Housekeeper going overboard naturally brought her ugly edges out.

Any other day Lei Xinyi would have let her play and taken all the entertainment it could give her but today she needed their Master to coil in her net so her devious plan can be put into motion so it was almost impossible though the idea to see the Old hag put in her place was irresistible.

She didn't want to make another scene to add her already black-bloody record!

Lei Xinyi's eyes turned sharp and she was about to handle the woman manipulating when Butler Yang came rushing as if there was going to be an apocalypse.

Her eyes instinctively traveled to him measuring her new competition but before she could utter a single word she was shocked into silence.

The Butler held his wife by the elbow and pulled her behind him and bowed deeply and sternly but respectfully responded with his eyes bowed courteously, "Please Madam, Miss Su. Excuse my wife's behavior, she is just stressed and it is radiating off her age. The kitchen is at your disposal."

They both stiffened and their jaws dropped. Lei Xinyi blinked several times not knowing what to say. 

She was getting ready for a fierce claw-fang catfight and it was rather a shock but it was not only them who dumfounded, the whole Kitchen was looking at him as if he just spat an alive fish out of his mouth.

The Butler was like he was affirmative of his behavior. Lei Xinyi assessed him for a while for a catch in his abrupt change in behavior then relented. 

"It's… Okay." Lei Xinyi drawled skeptically. At last, nodded obscurely and passed past him to the stove.

She had more important things to do then swat tails of some old haggard dogs of Li Yuan.

Lei Xinyi bowed her hairs up in a ponytail and took out a spare apron and bowed it around her. Su Qing kept her busy by back-biting the staff in front of them.

After recovering from their evident shift in attitude Su Qing snorted and spat, her every word laced in venom, "You know what, Ren? You shouldn't really stay in a house filled with such senile skunks. I mean, come on! If a servant in my household dared insult my guest like that!"

A tension bred in the room and several servants stilled, Housekeeper Yang stumbled out of her trance then and gave a nasty look to them and resumed her dishing of orders for the dinner's preparation.

It was obvious the woman ruled the kitchen like her kingdom and thought Lei Xinyi was a threat to her decorum.

Lei Xinyi swatted her hand in the air as if shooing a fly, smirked while spreading her ingredients on the slip, "Leave it at it, I have far more important things to worry my precious head with, then some moody middle-aged woman. And I don't mind her at all, I understand. Even I would be jealous of me."

The maids looked at her in disbelief and the Housekeeper bristled and bit her tongue to hold it in. Her husband had intervened and without a doubt, she trusted he had a reason to but Lei Xinyi smirk only widened, noticing her dilemma.

Another nail on Lei Xinyi's reputation's coffin. Her company. Su Qing by no means was a woman of good reputation. No matter how much she was idolized in public the deeper you dig, the more skeletons you will find in her closet and the guy who claimed to be her brother was definitely in illegal business.

Lei Xinyi was an eyesore to them for many reasons the main being her razor-sharp tongue that she didn't hesitate in swatting around then her volatile temper.

In her temper, she broke antiques and filthily-expensive things in their Master's Mansion as if they were brought from the local market! she even disrespected their Master and stayed indifferent to his affection naturally earning dislikes from their lot.

The Housekeeper's eyes landed on the other pretty face and the dagger-sharp-tongued woman beside her, huffed and muttered, 'Birds of the same feathers!'

The Housekeeper had been in the Li Family for decades and had seen things, not for the faint-hearted and along with that she had seen the tales of hearts and heartbreaks and could recognize Su Qing who was a constant arm-candy of the middle Yu brother for as long as she was able to comprehend the meaning of the word.

Su Qing kept her unapologetic rant on without a care of who was listening but for emphasizing on her words, she even glared at the maids who made the mistake to look at her...

Lei Xinyi took out a deep pot, though a clay pot was required, it would do. She started some pastes and began her two-hour-long struggle to make the perfect salve.

The process was long and effort-requiring, if even one ingredient was over-cooked or under-cooked it wouldn't be that efficient to its full potential.

It was almost too nostalgic, she had made the same salve too many times over the years when she was beaten black and blue from all the strenuous and torturous pieces of training with wrath her seniors had thrown on her. A strained smile took over her features.

It was like they were preparing a trained dog to slaughter!

After an hour into her preparation, Su Qing said she needed to return to her house because something 'urgent ' that came up. Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes; it was probably a booty call from Yu Jian.

The staff kept busy staring at her at some point without a word. Ten minutes in Butler Yang had brought her a high stool to be seated and look at her salve at the same time, be comfortable.

The Butler even came several times to convince her to help her but she was adamant, it was a very important procedure a little slip-up will ruin all her effort and she wasn't having it! 

So, at last, he settled with giving her juices on his every visit which was truly unnecessary she had had worst and by now Lei Xinyi was positive, he probably hit his big head somewhere. Hard.

Li Yuan kept staring at the beauty on the screen; he had cameras installed in every corner of his house and right now he was more than pleased with his decision.

She wasn't showing much of her body and the occasional lucky sweat drop that would slide down her pale skin that had taken a rosy-pale complexion due to the steam was so erotic that he could feel the pain of it...

He shifted on his seat, she was such a tease. He was rock-hard and she wasn't even trying, for f*ck's sake, she was cooking! 

And God knows what she was coking, he had sent the Butler to make her call quits but she was persistent and wouldn't leave whatever she was sweating over for the last two hours! Two f*cking hours!

Lei Xinyi tilted her head as a sweat drop trickled down her neck and disappeared in the creak of the ample bosoms, Li Yuan stiffened as he followed the trail of lucky drops destiny, how he wished he could lick it off her tender smooth skin!

Not to mention the show her low-cut dress was giving him from where his camera was angled. The dress was hugging all her curves, she had gained good weight, accented her curves, even more, not to mention her delicious looking thighs that weren't too obvious in his view but enough to get him wagging his trail for her.

'F*ck!' He cursed at the throbbing hardness in his southern region needing the coaxing of the temptress responsible for his ache.

She smirked at once in the camera and craned her neck further with her hands on her generous hips and her luscious lips parted bellowing a breath.

He wanted to drag her to his bedroom where he would put her in the same position to sweat and pant but instead opted to clench his fists.

It was like she knew he was staring at her, which shouldn't even be possible as no camera in his house was traceable or visible to naked eyes.

It was almost time for dinner so he decided to take a much-needed cold-shower. 

She had done her lunch with that Su tramp so he was rather eager for their dinner discussion...

On the screen Lei Xinyi stored her paste in a thermos and took off her apron and headed out cradling her two hours of worth in her arms.
