Chapter 96: Lu Li: You ng, Where’s Your Maid Outfit?
Chen Xiaoyi was stunned on the side, having gotten used to You ng’s usual subdued deanor; she almost forgot that this woman used to work under Ye Chen, Lu Li’s adversary. And she was a ruthless assassin!
The way I’ve been ordering her around…
Surely, You ng doesn’t hold a grudge, right?
Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyi had been through a lot and was no ordinary person. Anyway, her man would never let her be bullied. Besides, it was all You ng’s own choice.
Regardless of her inner thoughts, she stood calmly by You ng’s side, casting a wary glance at Chen Ya.
So this woman was Ye Chen’s aunt. What was she doing here, claiming to be Lu Li’s woman? Was she trying to drive a wedge?
“Indeed, I am Chen Ya, from the Chen family, and Ye Chen’s aunt.” Chen Ya didn’t try to hide her identity. There was no intention to conceal it in the first place. These were things she intended to discuss with Lu Li. The only unexpected part was Lu Li not being ho and You ng recognizing her imdiately.
“Good, you’ve admitted it. Now tell us, what are you doing here? And why claim to be Lu Li’s woman?” You ng coldly scrutinized Chen Ya. Even though in a previous life they ended up fighting Ye Chen together, it didn’t an You ng had any fondness for her. On the contrary, You ng disliked her.
In a previous life, Chen Ya could be said to be Ye Chen’s best partner. From her investigations, she collaborated with Ye Chen in humiliating her “big brother” multiple tis. Despite Lu Li’s repeated warnings, she was oblivious and even considered Lu Li the villain.
The fact that this woman previously claid to be Lu Li’s woman infuriated You ng. I haven’t even beco his woman yet, what right do you have?
Chen Ya was displeased by the condescending tone, “Why should I explain to you? Who do you think you are? Don’t think I’m unaware of your identity.”
Chen Ya and You ng were on equal footing, yet now she was being interrogated in such a manner.
“My identity? I have many identities. Currently, I am the little maid of big brother’s house. If you’re trying to use my past actions under Ye Chen against , save your breath. I’ve already confessed everything to big brother and proved my loyalty.”
You ng’s gaze was icy, softening only when ntioning big brother. Her hostility towards Chen Ya intensified, suspecting that Ye Chen had inford her about You ng’s betrayal. Given her understanding of Ye Chen, he wouldn’t readily share such information since it would damage his pride. Unless he trusted Chen Ya greatly.
Chen Ya, surprised by You ng’s assertiveness, watched as the scene unfolded. You ng wouldn’t lie in front of Chen Xiaoyi, unless they were conspiring. But with Lu Li returning soon, lying would serve no purpose.
This ant You ng’s fate had changed this lifeti, finding Lu Li early on. Chen Ya suspected You ng was responsible for Ye Chen’s condition.
Regretting not seeking Lu Li imdiately after her rebirth, she allowed these two won to gain the upper hand. Not to ntion Cao Yingying.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Go ahead, explain why you’re here claiming to be Lu Li’s woman.” You ng and Chen Xiaoyi pressed her for answers.
“I will speak, but I’ll wait for Lu Li to return.” Chen Ya lowered her head, her tone neutral but firm, enduring the pain of a dislocated arm without showing weakness.
At that mont, the door swung open, and Lu Li entered with Cao Yingying, imdiately noticing Chen Ya, bound securely.
Glancing between You ng and Chen Xiaoyi, Lu Li’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Master brother, as you instructed, I’ve detained her. She’s associated with the Chen family and related to Ye Chen by blood.” You ng’s frosty deanor lted away to a more humble stance as she approached Lu Li.
The drastic change in attitude left Chen Ya sowhat baffled. Whether it was You ng’s cold-blooded killer persona or her recent interrogation deanor, she had always been icily resolute. Yet here she was displaying a different side.
Moreover, she referred to Lu Li as…
Chen Ya was taken aback.
“Your outfit?” Lu Li glanced at You ng’s attire, not imdiately addressing Chen Ya’s situation but instead focusing on sothing seemingly trivial.
Chen Ya, whom he recognized from nurous encounters in his previous life, had always been on Ye Chen’s side, opposing him.
“Your outfit?” You ng paused, confusedly glancing down at her clothes, then flushed with panic: “I’m sorry, master brother, I changed into this outfit when I went out. I forgot to change back due to the rush of questioning her.”
“You should change back,” Lu Li stated flatly.
“Yes, right away!” You ng hurried upstairs to change, having broken a rule set by Lu Li. She was still in the phase of proving her loyalty, and after finally getting closer to Lu Li, she couldn’t afford another mistake.
Cao Yingying pushed Lu Li playfully, accusing him of picking on the maid, suspecting he had a particular fondness for the maid outfit. She believed it was the latter.
