Chapter 12

Starting Today, Im In Charge Of You

Ruan Mengmengs reaction was completely within Li Junyus expectations.

He raised his brow, and a chilly gleam flashed through his cold stern eyes. He made no attempt to hide his impatience with this.

Those are my fathers orders. Starting today, Im in charge of your food, shelter, education, manners, your physical and even your mental health. All of it.

As he said that, Li Junyu stood up and strode up to Ruan Mengmeng with his long legs.

Bending forward, he used his own hands to pull her right leg down from her left knee.

The mans fingers rested on her knee. They were slender and long, with well-defined knuckles.

Since he was bending down and leaning really close to her, Ruan Mengmeng was almost completely and utterly enveloped by Li Junyus lazy yet chilly aura.

Li Junyu put her legs together and forced her to sit politely, like a well-mannered lady.

Never cross your legs. This is your last warning.

He murmured that threat into her ear with his exceedingly deep voice before he straightened up again.

The entire time, Ruan Mengmeng was lost in a daze.

Her brain had not recovered yet. It was still registering Li Junyus earlier declaration.

Only now did she finally raise her head bewilderedly, looking at him in sheer disbelief. You Did you just say you were gonna educate me? What right do you My last name is Ruan, and yours is Li

It took her a little longer than usual, but Ruan Mengmeng finally came back to her senses.

Li Junyu lowered his gaze, staring at her as he said with his extremely cold voice, Its simple. Its because my father is Li Yaoyang, and his second wifes name is Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi

Chen. Qing. Zhi!!!

Li Junyus words were like a bolt of lightning cras.h.i.+ng onto Ruan Mengmeng.

It stunned her and made her dizzy, its effects lasting for a good while.

Chen Qingzhi

Chen Qingzhi

Chen Qingzhi was her mothers name!

Eleven years ago, she could not stand her fathers infidelity, his mistress pressure, as well as her mother-in-laws and sister-in-laws bullying

So she drowned herself in the ocean! That was her mother, who should have died a long time ago!

No, that cant be Ruan Mengmeng shook her head. Her eyes had always sparkled with rainbow colors, but now they had been instantly drowned in tears.

My mom died a long time ago, she left us eleven years agoTh-Theres no way shes still alive. If she was, how could she bear to abandon my sister and me? I dont believe it, I dont believe it!

Ruan Mengmeng had a pair of eyes that sparkled as though they could speak.

When she smiled at someone, her sparkling almond eyes seemed to contain the stars, the sun, and the moon.

Now, however, her clear crystal eyes were covered in a thin layer of mist.

When he saw the girl reacting like this, Li Junyu could not help but frown.

A peculiar emotion flitted past his previously composed black eyes.

For a second there, he had actually, inexplicably, felt something akin to pity.

Hah, what a joke.

She was just a useless heiress who had been completely spoiled by her upbringing. She did not warrant a careful education at his hands.

The only one who cared about such a thing was that old man back home who was so dedicated to Chen Qingzhi.

When he remembered his fathers orders, the last trace of pity in Li Junyus bottomless eyes was obscured by an impenetrable haze.

I dont care if you believe it or not. That has nothing to do with me. Either way, Im your guardian, starting from now.

No, youre not! Ruan Mengmeng did not back down at all, glaring at him with her teary almond eyes. Im not a minor anymore. Im nineteen this year, so you cant boss me around!

Unfortunately, youre still a student. Apparently, youve been in your third year of high school for two years now. With the way youre going, how long will it take for you to graduate on your own? Hmm? Li Junyu did not hide his contempt at all.

There was absolutely no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Ruan Mengmeng.

He had long since investigated her life. The second miss of the Ruan Family had started school in advance at merely five years old.

Now that she was in the third year of high school, though, she had somehow still managed to take two years longer than everyone else.

That was why she was nineteen now and still had yet to graduate.

Even if thats true thats still my business! I dont need your interference! I have my dad, and I have a family. I dont need you to be my guardian!

Ruan Mengmeng turned her head away stubbornly, purposely telling herself not to look at his cold gaze of contempt.

No one else knew her life better than she did. Ruan Mengmeng did not need to explain anything to anyone else!

In that case, that surely means you dont need to meet your mother either, right? Alright, you can go then. I wont force you.
