Chapter 45: Provoking
Sla la la la la~
The sound of music filled Luo Huian's ears as the elevator finally came to a stop at the forty-ninth floor.
She rubbed her forehead and said to Head Guard Si, "You know …I am a pretty grudgeful woman."
As soon as she said those words, Head Guard Si paused and turned to look at her. She questioned, "Why are you telling me this?"
With her pinky in her ear, she twisted it a little as her ear was filled with the eerie sound of something screeching, Luo Huian twisted her waist and looked at the woman behind her.
"Just thought you should know," Luo Huian smiled at Head Guard Si before tipping her chin at the door in front of them. "Tell your boss I am here."
Head Guard Si felt something was wrong with Luo Huian telling her that she was a vengeful woman. However, she could not put her finger on it.
She could only walk ahead of Luo Huian and knock on the door.
"Madam, I have brought Miss Luo," Head Guard Si announced to the person inside the room.
For two seconds there was no sound but then a tired voice came from behind the door, "Let her inside."
Head Guard Si stepped to one side after pushing the door open.
Luo Huian on the other hand sighed and then walked inside the room.
As soon as she stepped inside the scent of bamboo and peonies filled her nostrils. Luo Huian turned her head to the left and saw a small incense burner sitting on the table that was pressed against the wall.
"You are here, Miss Luo," a hoarse voice spoke all of a sudden, causing Luo Huian to turn and look at the person.
"I have to come, or else I am afraid that Madam Pan would have chased me like a mad dog," Luo Huian smiled at the woman whose face was scrunched up as if she was in pain.
"How dare you!" Du Mumu who was standing next to Pan Xinyi like a protective guard, spoke up. He glared at Luo Huian harshly and said, "Is this how you should be talking to Madam Pan?"
"Or else?" Luo Huian walked over to the table behind which Pan Xinyi was sitting.
Her feet moved against the red carpet-covered floor, creating a muffled sound.
She then pulled a chair and sat down, before putting her elbow on the surface of the table and resting her hand under her chin.
With a sweet smile on her face, she lifted a brow and remarked, "Madam Pan, is not my friend, elder or lover. She is not even my acquaintance. Even if she is someone, I am also from the Luo family. Do you think that just because I was kicked out of the house for a while? I am no longer related to the Luo family. Should I call you stupid or naive?"
Du Mumu stiffened. He couldn't bring himself to say anything and turned to look at Pan Xinyi. However, to his surprise, she didn't say anything!
What was going on? Shouldn't Pan Xinyi be speaking up in his defence?
"Anyway, Madam Pan. Why did you call me here?" Luo Huian went straight to the point.
"You are really different from the rumours, Miss Luo," Pan Xinyi coughed as her brows twitched a little. She had heard a lot about Luo Huian from her guards but this woman who sat in front of her looked different from the one in rumour.
Neither was she unconfident nor was she gloomy in fact she was rather bold.
Luo Huian noticed the small fluctuations in Pan Xinyi's expression but she pretended not to notice.
"Rumours come from idiots who have nothing good to do and only fools are the ones who believe them. Isn't this the reason why many fools die? Because they believe the rumours?" Luo Huian shrugged as she leaned back on the chair on which she was sitting.
"You…" Du Mumu opened his mouth to scold Luo Huian but was stopped by Pan Xinyi who raised her hand and instead of getting angry at Luo Huian, she calmly asked, "Five million yuan. Stay away from Suisui."
No sooner did she say those words, Du Mumu and Luo Huian's expressions changed. While Du Mumu's expression was filled with fear and jealousy, Luo Huian's expression was mocking.
"Aren't you afraid that this little beauty by your side will get angry if you say such words?" Luo Huian asked with a slight raise of her brows.
Du Mumu's expression if possible turned even more bad after hearing Luo Huian's words.
Some mers could accept their wives having other husbands but some mers could not accept such a thing.
Xu Suisui was such a mer. He had asked Pan Xinyi to promise that she would not have another mer by her side.
And Pan Xinyi had promised him, even though Du Mumu succeeded in getting between the two. He was yet to get a title because Pan Xinyi still held Xu Suisui close to her heart.
"You don't need to worry about it," Pan Xinyi said with a cold voice. "You only need to tell me your price."
Luo Huian smiled at Pan Xinyi when she heard her words. She raised her hand and then raised one finger before saying, "First, you are not in any position to decide such a thing for Mr Xu. Secondly, I am not with Master Xu for money. Last but not least, why is it that you are allowed to keep a little beauty by your side but Master Xu is not?"
"Luo Huian! Don't push it too much!" Pan Xinyi stood up from her chair, her action caused the chair to be sent flying behind her before it skidded and fell on the floor.
However, Luo Huian did not even flinch. She calmly sat on the chair while looking at the woman in front of her. She noticed the changes in the emotional state of the woman.
Now Luo Huian knew why the mission had not finished even though she helped Xu Suisui get better. Having understood what to do, she opened her mouth to provoke Pan Xinyi even more——
