Luo Residence...
Old man Luo’s face was terrifyingly dark as he looked at his son, Xiaolei’s father, Luo Junfeng, who just arrived.
"Father, why did you call me in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong?" Luo Junfeng asked and the old man gestured to the man in a business suit to sit down.
"Your good-for-nothing eldest daughter didn’t appear today. She dared to disobey me and you know exactly what’s at risk for this. I did my best apologizing for this disaster, but you know that Yu Zhaohui can easily trample us just because of this. He simply laughed it off but I believe he was offended. We can’t afford to do anything that will anger them, so do something about that damn daughter of yours. Make her go and offer herself or whatever method you do, just make sure that the Yus will be pleased." Luo Feng replied and the man’s face immediately twisted that he almost looked like he just turned into a demon.
"Don’t worry father, rest assured, I will teach that child a lesson. I will make sure that by tomorrow, you will receive good news." Luo Junfeng assured and the old man nodded as though he had full trust on his son’s words. Well, Luo Junfeng had always been a very capable man so Luo Feng trusted his abilities, even though his methods were quite ruthless.
"Okay, but make sure not to hurt her physically. That man seems to desire her so be careful and don’t overdo it."
"Yes, rest assured."
...
The next day, Luo Xiaolei was on her way towards the orphanage to visit her beloved nephews. This was her daily routine. She would always drop by the orphanage to check on them every day before she worked in her studio.
Shen Rui and Shen Ran were the twin brothers left by her mother’s nurse Shen Fei. She died in a mysterious accident five years ago and the case about her death remained unsolved even now. In her previous life, the case would be solved three years from now. Of course, Luo Xiaolei never planned to wait three more years for the truth to be uncovered. She wanted justice for the twin’s mother as soon as possible so she was actually secretly sending intel to the police for them to uncover the truth as fast as possible.
Shen Rui and Shen Ran were already six years old and they were Xiaolei’s little bundles of joy during these past four years since her mother died. She was planning to take the twins out of the orphanage two months from now after her graduation and she was quite excited to live with them. Well, it was because the two boys were both so adorable and well mannered and she just loved them to bits that Xiaolei couldn’t wait to bring them home.
Luo Xiaolei was very excited as she thought about playing with the two little boys but by the time she arrived at the orphanage, they said that Luo Junfeng had taken them away, telling them that he had decided to adopt them. They told her that the man forced the caretakers to release the twins before leaving a letter for Luo Xiaolei.
Panicking, Luo Xiaolei quickly read the letter her father left. She turned off her cellphone since Luo Feng visited her yesterday so her father must have left his message through a letter.
[Luo Xiaolei, I will give you until midnight tonight to bring me good news. You dared to not appear when your grandfather was supposed to be talking about your engagement with Mr. Yu last night. Now take responsibility and go apologize, offer yourself and go through with this engagement. If you fail to bring me good news, I will send these twins abroad and you won’t ever see them again.]
Upon reading the great nonsense her damn father wrote, Luo Xiaolei could only grit her teeth hard as she crumpled the piece of paper in her hand. She realized that the situation wasn’t something she could run away from now. She didn’t see this one coming. She thought that like what happened before, her grandfather would just hate her even more but it looked like it wouldn’t be so easy this time.
She never thought that the almighty Yu family was the one that wanted her. Was it really that devil? But why? Why her?
Luo Xiaolei’s mind was in chaos but at this moment, she knew she could not waste any more time thinking about the how’s and why’s. It was because she knew just what kind of a man her father was. He was a man who wouldn’t hesitate to throw someone into the ocean and watch them drown, especially if it benefitted him. She knew that he wouldn’t hesitate to use anything or anyone to protect his money and pride. This was why, Luo Xiaolei couldn’t do a thing but do as he said because once she failed him, she was sure that that ruthless man might not just send the twins away but might even vent his anger on them.
