There was no way Lei Xinyi would digest having to play a servant for anybody. She sneered inwardly, more than proposal it seemed like degradation, telling her how all she has to do was play his servant for a life…

Even as she seriously didn't consider staying, she has to wait here for the next two or three months waiting for the cargo that will help her get herself safely out of the country.

Looking at her being hesitant about sharing her opinion Lu Jiong felt his heart clench, sighing deeply he said in the softest voice he could muster, "Lu Xinyi, your father is alive and n.o.body, I mean it, n.o.body can degrade you in this country. We may lack a little in wealth from them but our influence is what gives us equality to them. If anybody as much as tried to slander you I will utterly destroy them.

As for being a secretary, you know it, you have a degree in arts and designing and in their Headquarter office that will be the best job you can get. And your fiancé did ask me what job I wanted for you, when I asked for his preferences; he himself said he would like having you as his secretary so you guys can have more interactions to know each other."

Lei Xinyi clenched her fists under the table Lu Xinyi or not she herself didn't know anything about business because all she had ever known is science.

She was a surgeon by profession not your typical doctor but she was definitely a genius in that particular area. She could bring a man back to life but this office-s.h.i.+t wasn't her thing.

And most of all she had to make sure that this supposed fiancé of her should not like her at all! She already have enough influencers on her back, she couldn't afford another!

Before she could open her mouth to argue, the eldest of the Lu brothers, Lu Sheng spoke in familiar tone of his father, "Dad I think this is outright insult! First that Li Yuan doesn't get rid of his affairs even after being engaged and now he doesn't even think she is capable of holding a position. This is an outright insult to our family. I say let's annul this marriage. Lu Xinyi deserved to be cherished and respected."

"Yeah….Dad we can't give away our only sister to someone who doesn't know her worth."Lu Han said in a voice that was barely more than a whisper.

Lu Jiong dropped his chopsticks on the table and looked at his three children, with a blank expression.

Because of his children being step-siblings to each other they had always been hostile to each other.

But last few days has been different, a good difference. Finally this house could be something close to a home for its residents.

Although they were united against him but at least they were united! He was happy for his Lu Xinyi but Alas! If only he knew. Lu Xinyi who would have been happy to see this is somewhere fighting for her life…..

Before Lu Jiong could say anything Madam Lu who hadn't spoken in a for the whole conversation spoke in a stern voice to her sons, "You two are not the one marrying Li Yuan! Anyway you won't understand! He is a successful businessman; his company increased its profit by ten percent in merely three years in his supervision. Even his engagement doesn't stop families to send him proposals and women to throw themselves at him I am sure just the time we annul the engagement, candidates would line up for him…."

Heaving out along sigh, she said in her stern tone, turning to Lei Xinyi "Lu Xinyi think out of your fairytale world. Which man doesn't have flings or some affairs or adventures before marriage in their wild phase, girls do too. See you brothers or your...father" At which Lu Jiong raised his brows at her.

Raising her hands defensively she said in an almost accusing tone, "No offence! Facts stand where they do."

Then averting her eyes back to Lei Xinyi she continued, "Men are like fishes in ocean , in frenzy with waves they go where the momentary pleasure take them. They don't just settle. It is a woman who has to make him settle down to the beds of the ocean and to keep there."
