Chapter 168: Huian's worsening condition

Liu Hai said, “Secondly, I don’t see any reason to explain my son’s actions to you because I don’t find you deserving of it.”

Huian was losing it. These past days the amount of mental stress she had gone through was something she had never imagined would happen. She was getting irritated for the smallest of mistakes, would snap at the maids for no reason, and throw stuff away in incessant anger.

“But I will because I don’t want you to disturb my son’s peaceful life. Yes, he went back to meet Nana, but he was talking about business matters.”

Grandma Liu frowned. “What business matters?”

He glanced at his mother and said, “Nana is working with Liu Corps again.”

Huian widened her eyes in disbelief. “What!?” Even Grandma Liu was stunned.

“Why!? How could she!?” She thought of something and sneered. “Is this the peaceful life you were talking about? Meeting Nana behind my back?”

“We Liu’s don’t have to anything behind anybody’s back. The fact was always out in the open. If you didn’t come to know about it, then it’s your bad. Oh how can you? Liu Hai smirked. “You are barred from going inside the office.”

That hit her nerve hard.

“And how can you be so relaxed Hai!? Don’t you find this wrong?”

Liu Hai looked at them as if he heard the biggest joke. “Wrong? Did both of you find it wrong when you fooled Jinhai in this marriage? Did Huian find it wrong when she tried to drug her husband, forcibly trying to sleep with him? Does Huian find it wrong when she still blames and curses Nana even though it was her own fault?”

That effectively shut them up. Huian was boiling inside in hatred, but she couldn’t retort anything back.

“Please don’t be such hypocrites. First, realize your own mistakes before pointing your finger at someone else.”

Huian gritted her teeth, with tears in her eyes. “Do I have to bear your accusations for the rest of my life?”

He laughed. “If you can accuse Nana when she is the most innocent here, then why can’t we when you are the actual culprit? Don’t act as if you are suffering grave injustice. The one who is indeed suffering is only Nana.”

“Nana! Nana! Nana! Everyone only talks about her. What about me!?” Huian broke down.

Liu Chunhua said this time. “I think you have thought enough about yourself. You have turned into the most selfish person anyone can become. Is there anything still left to it?”

She refused to talk anymore. “Hai. I’m tired. Let’s get some rest.”

He nodded. Before leaving, he warned the maids and butlers. “This whole mess will be cleaned up by Huian only without the use of any machine, purely by her own hands. Mind you; if anybody tries to help her, you are immediately fired.”

They gulped, furiously nodding their heads.

“Hai!” Grandma Liu roared.

Huian was dumbfounded. I will do a maid’s work…

“Enough.” He raised his palm. “This is Liu villa. I will not tolerate such behavior. She cannot carelessly cause a ruckus just because there are maids to tend to it. They are also humans.”

All the servants became emotional.

“And Huian. The villa must exactly look like how it was before. You will not rest until that happens. If there is even the slightest mistake, I will make you work all over again. And don’t try to challenge my patience next time. I’m really not a very good man when somebody crosses my limits.” With that said, he left with his wife.

Huian stood rooted, shaking in terror, digging her nails in her palm.

At nearly one in the morning, Butler Wang dialed a number. The man on the other end picked up on the second ring.

“First young master.” He respectfully said.

“En.” Liu Jinhai hummed.

“Just as you predicted, Lady Liu indeed saw you all at Natsukashi. She also said that you went back to meet Miss Nana. She was furious when she returned and started breaking everything in the villa. She was acting insane. There was a big argument between Master Liu and her, but he managed it.”

Silence.

“Her condition is also worsening day by day. Her temper flares up, she gets jittery, and she keeps on mumbling to herself. Sometimes she cries, and sometimes she laughs, calling out your name. One maid had seen her talking to herself and acting as if you were present there and talking back to her.”

“Hm. Keep watching her.”

“Yes, young master.”

The next day Serena was in too much hurry. She got up late, and today was an important meeting with a client.

“Damn it! My boss for sure will kill me!”

Unknowingly, she opened the door in haste to which she thought was her room. Her eyeballs came out of sockets seeing the view in front of her.

Jianyu was half-naked, with water drops glistening and dripping down his perfect abs. She gulped, seeing his toned and muscular body.

Jianyu was startled. “You! How can you just blindly come inside?”

She snapped out of her stupor. “How is it my fault? You kept the door open.” She pouted. “By the way…you look damn sexy.” She came to him, and shamelessly started feeling his muscles. “Ah…this is indeed heaven. Can I click a picture, please? I will save it as my phone’s wallpaper.”

He was speechless. Just what goes in her pea-sized brain!

“Get off me! And wallpaper? So that you violate me in your dream?” he scorned.

“Aww it has hardly been two weeks, but you already know me like it’s been years. How accurate was your guess!”

He inhaled sharply.

She then realized. “Oh sh*t! I am getting late! It’s your fault! You trapped me in your hormones. I will make you take responsibility if I get fired. Hmph!” and she ran away like lightning.

Jianyu was dumbfounded. What did I do!?

He didn’t want to admit, but the way she touched him…something stirred inside him. He was all warm after his shower, and her cold fingertips were giving a pleasant and nice feeling.

Idiot! What am I thinking? Seriously, I will become a pervert like her if I stay in her company.

He glanced at the floor and saw some papers lying there.

This girl…Half of the papers from her file are here. I guess I will have to save her today. Serena, you owe me one.
