298 A Chat Between Madam Li And Lei Xinyi

He held her by the waist and pulled away enough to hiss against her lips, "Watch that pretty mouth of yours, Sweetheart."

Li Yuan tried to pull her back in a kiss when she pushed on his chest and broke free from his hold. He narrowed his eye at her audacity about ready to say something when Lei Xinyi saw that and scoffed.

He nodded his head somberly. Both knew it was the end of the conversation between them. If they continued, what will take place will be another nerve-racking argument and it was too early to start another argument.

"Have breakfast before going." She turned her eyes to the floor and bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from telling him 'to bite me!' but nodded yet again.

She wanted nothing but space right now to think things through and it can be only attained if she goes by his rule.

It was obvious no matter how much of a pain in the ass his mother was, she was a topic off-limit, and right now, in this crucial moment when her fate was in his hands, she wasn't too eager to tick him off. It would only backfire so ending the argument was the wisest thing at the moment.

She didn't want to spend a second more than necessary with his mother. Her piercing criticism and disgusted glare got her to the end of her wits, causing her to lose her calm. There were too many things she was capable of but she didn't want his mother to be on the receiving end of it for obvious reasons.

She turned and left the room. She wanted to thrash and destroy things to vent her anger but that would give that insolent woman yet another thing to censure her for.

Was he blind or simply dupe?! They couldn't stay a consecutive hour together without wanting to strangle the other! And the man was hell-bent in taming a wild stallion. If he was a wise man he would stay miles away from her!

The Lord spares her soul, it is only his infuriating mother that decided to 'surprise' visit them and not his grandmother! Both b*tches had their heads too far up their conceited heads.

She entered the dining room against her better judgment to see his mother going all Mistress-of-the-manor. Without sparing her a glance, she sat on the right seat by the Head of the table. Madam Li who was barking orders stilled at her audacity to sit on the family table. Her eyes burnt the back of her head.

With an eye roll for all the dramatics about to follow, Lei Xinyi served herself the fresh extracted orange juice. Madam Li glared at the girl like she could murder her the very moment with the table knife on the right side of her plate. 

Lei Xinyi would be lying if she said the woman wasn't intimidated but she was far too gone in her suppressing rage ritual to think otherwise.

With measured graceful steps, she reached the table and eyed Lei Xinyi as if she was a toad from a swamp.

With the flick of her wrist, she summoned a maid and she poured the juice from the pitcher in her glass, she took a sip with a frown on her face scrutinizing the girl.

She superficially dabbed her puckered lips and turned to Lei Xinyi with a pitiful glance, "You are just a phase, a pretty woman who spread her legs for him, and believe me when I say you aren't the first woman he had kept.

Be wary of whom you offend in the little time you have here." In return, the young woman gave her a serene, calm smile, like she was grateful for her advice when anyone could see she was mocking her.

At this point, she was too astounded by her composure and was critically observing her every movement. The young woman in front of her had a practiced posture that she couldn't mistake for anything but a ballerina but then her eyes fell on her ample busting chest, no not a ballerina...

Then her eyes fell on her feet and crossed legs under the glass table that was smooth and lean as ever without a speck of imperfection, crafted in all their glory to entrap eyes of the beholder, her legs were long and her feet beautiful.

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.
