She wasn't into all the political and economical news stuff. All she cared was if it was going to rain or not but this was far the only way to stay connected to the world.

She needed to contact He Zheng somehow but not through the piercing, they would detect it as it will be activated and then try to take it off!

The phone they had given her, could be only used to call or receive one number and that was of her 'Dear Grandfather'. For her entertainment, he had sent her several books for different genres and mostly on medical and Martial arts.

Her head-bandage was removed but the ugly scar was too visible on her head to be forgotten. Her leg is fractured from two places so she was on plaster and her movement was based on a wheelchair. She was exhausted to her bones by resting all day long!

They were keeping her in an apartment in an unknown middle-cla.s.s society. They were ramps installed in different areas so her wheelchair could go anywhere in a small apartment. Furthermore, a bench seat was fixed in the bathroom and safety bars too were in almost all the apartment.

She wanted to shout whenever she saw all that, they had it preplanned to get her in this position!

Tomorrow was the wedding day, her supposed to be wedding. The wedding was set, the venue was prepared, all the guests were aligned, f*cking media was involved! He can't cancel the wedding now, can he?

Her heart was restless. n.o.body knew of Li Yuan's bride. The a.s.s could practically bring any girl from his booty calls and make her his merry wife! Or... Perhaps he would have found his real fiance and would marry her!

She really didn't know why she cared so much but she did! Lei Xinyi huffed looking at all the boring news, where was Li Yuan's marriage news? Why was there nothing here?! It was like it wasn't Li Yuan, the most eligible Bachelor of the city, wedding at all!

"Lei Xinyi, I am home!"

Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes at the high pitched annoying voice of her caretaker + nurse + Yi Yang's wh.o.r.e.

Qin Shu entered the room minutes later dressed in a pencil skirt and b.u.t.ton-down s.h.i.+rt that did nothing to hide her hickeys from her scandalous relations.h.i.+p. She was just out of the office.

She was Yi Yang secretary and did almost all of the b.a.s.t.a.r.d's work. She was still a b*tch but they had formed civility between them to not rip each other hairs out.

"How was your day?" Qin Shu asked fake cheerily.

Lei Xinyi wanted to punch the answer in the girl's gut, instead, she did what a handicapped person could. She narrowed her eyes and bristled, "How can a person's day be laying on a bed all day?" She looked at her empty hand and frowned, "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"

Qin Shu didn't mind her cold tone but slapped her hand on her forehead and cursed, "I forgot the things in the car! I will just bring them now."

Lei Xinyi scoffed, "if you stop blowing your mind on Yi Yang's d.i.c.k then there will be s.p.a.ce to remember anything in that small compartment up there."

Qin Shu didn't respond but rushed out of the house in a hurry. Yi Yang dropped and picked her up as a mistress was supposed to be.

To not be suspicious, he only came here on Sat.u.r.day and Sunday to manipulate Lei Xinyi for telling him the name of the Heirs and work with her to eliminate them.

But Lei Xinyi knew a serpent when she saw one. Yi Yang was one h.e.l.l of a deceptive b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he had killed even more heirs than her. He was from a Martial Arts Family and thus was trained since he was a toddler so he was fast and agile and other heirs were just puppets for him to eliminate.

His only bet was in trying to convince her because as the Lei's patriarch needed her so there was no way Yi Yang could kill her and get out of here alive. the place was in strict observation.

She couldn't blame any heir to kill her for the Lei's Head position. The Lei empire was an empire which was as huge as the Li's or Yu's, anybody morals could slip on this much greed.

Lei Xinyi wanted it too but all the money in the world wasn't enticing enough to force her to kill her kins, no matter even if they were trying to kill her!

Lei Xinyi took another spoonful of the chocolate and caramel ice cream and since she was eating from the tub it just made it all the more consuming.

On the floor were scattered wrappers of sweets and chocolates, and on the bed were packed boxes of them along with journals and medical books. She was going to gain a lot of weight after this but she was depressed and she didn't know a better way to cheer herself up.

Her fracture was going to take about minimum one and a half month more to recover but she was the best doctor there was and she knew how to escalate the process. and once her body was patched up, she will practice her limbs cardio on this couple made in h.e.l.l!

Lei Xinyi sighed and fliped channels some more, there were several emotions and thoughts were combating in her. She was beyond tense and frustrated.

What if Li Yaun was really getting married tomorrow when she was rotting here?! The thought of him doing that enraged her but then when she thought why did she care and why it was like a p.r.i.c.k in her heart it enraged her more.

Then she was worried about Su Qing and He Zheng. Years ago when she escaped the Lei's Headquarter with him, she hid him well that even the Lei's Patriarch still thinks that she killed him. 

They were both her only family. Though they were in safe corners she didn't want to think if the commotion of her going away would have done damage or not.

She had asked Yi Yang a hundred times about how had they gotten her out of the radar but he just always told her that her old life was gone and she could start a clean slate with him.

b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Qin Shu was a half Chinese woman who was majorly a nurse and stayed here for keeping an eye on her and seeing to her necessities.

Qin Shu came back running in with two big shoppers in her hands, "I got them!" She happily sprinted in the room. The woman was so bubbly that she could always find joy in even cutting ladyfingers.

Lei Xinyi felt repulsed by her enthusiasm and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bags from her, giving her a dirty look. No matter how suns.h.i.+ne of a girl she was, she was her captor a.s.sistant playing good cop.

One bag had candies and sweets. The other had the herbs and roots she needed in the preparation of the balm for scars and medicines for escalating the repairing of her bone tissues.

The herbs and roots were precious and would have cost about half a million but Lei Xinyi didn't care, if they wanted to keep her, they should know she is expensive!

"Sit! And don't try to make excuses. " Lei Xinyi narrowed her eyes and indicated to the vacant s.p.a.ce on the bed. Qin Shu took a deep sigh and sat knowing well what was going to follow.

"I wasn't going to make excuses, anyway." Lei Xinyi snorted and kept looking in the bag,

Lei Xinyi took out Korean red ginseng from the shopper and handed a stem to Qin Shu, "Eat! Don't even think I missed your googly eyes you were making while watching me!" 

Qin Shu eyed the Red Gingseng then the paranoid woman who was looking at her like she was some vile sp.a.w.n that crawled from the pit of the seventh level of h.e.l.l.

Qin Shu sighed, she was doing that since this particular woman landed in her life.

She ate it and then Lei Xinyi fed her all the other horrendous tasting things one after the other to eat. This was her way of making sure that they weren't poisoning her or feeding her some kind of drugs.

After all the inspection was done Lei Xinyi nodded and pointed to the room, "Clean the place then make me dinner, do the laundry and some things have spilt in the kitchen, clean them and don't bother trying anything, you don't want to mess with me!"

Qin Shu sighed yet again, nodded and got to work.

Lei Xinyi turned the volume of the TV loud and hid her evil smirk behind her hand.

This was her way of getting amus.e.m.e.nt and then irritating the bubbly girl was becoming more a sport than causing trouble. A good way to releases frustration.
