Lu Meirong fell into the trap

Lu Meirong on the other hand felt like het heart was in her throat. She was scared to death. Lijuan couldn't understand the meaning of helping them out, but how can Lee Jianguo and Hua Mulan not understand. If it is a request from her, they will understand her intensions and put an end to all her plans. She can't let this happen. She was not strong enough to face this couple on her own. She has to continue her act for few more years. She cursed Lijuan a thousand time under her breath. She didn't get it, why did this fool directly say it was her request and not something she wanted. Does she even know how to frame sentences. She should have taught her line by line what she needed to tell in front of this couple. Now she is in big trouble, she has to think of an alternative solution. Though Lu Meirong was thinking so much inside her head, her expression was normal. She acted a little pitiful to gain some sympathy from the couple.

So, what if Lu Meirong was good at acting. Who were Lee Jianguo and Hua Mulan, what kind of people have they not seen. Don't think they are easy to get along just by seeing how sweet they are Infront of their daughter. To outside world they both are cold. especially Lee Jianguo is a ruthless businessman, they show no mercy to their enemies. They never involved in other people's business and never participated in power struggles. Their families had a very strong foothold in the capital city. Their only weakness is their dumb daughter who can break them and make them lose all their rationale.

While Lu Meirong was planning to save herself from this trouble created by Lijuan, Lee Jianguo and Hua Mulan looked at Lu Meirong thoughtfully. They seem to have understood something.

"Meirong, if you have any trouble, you could have directly come to me or Jianguo, we would have helped you. It's not like we have not taken care of you all these years, right?"

Hua Mulan's meaning was clear, we took care of you all this year and provided you more than one would do to their adopted daughter, you are still not satisfied? You need us to repay to some irrelevant people for taking care of you? Do you even understand the meaning of getting help from Lee family and Hua family in the capital city?

Lu Meirong understood this, and this also the reason why she wanted Lijuan to talk to her parents to support Li Chen's family business. As long as they get support from Lee and Hua family, there no need to fear anyone else in the Capital City. But she can't admit it now, after all she is just 15 years old kid in their eyes, how can they understand her real thoughts.

"Mrs. Hua, you misunderstood me. I don't want to ask for any help. It's An An who misinterpret my intensions. I was just releasing my emotions. I meant nothing else. How can I ask for any favour to help others when I myself need to depend on this family for my needs."

Hua Mulan looked at Lu Meirong approvingly for knowing her own place in the family. But she felt something was wrong in how she was telling and suddenly turned to look at her daughter to see if any of her words or action offended this little ancestor. Afterall, this girl treats Lu Meirong better than her own family. And she was glad to see her daughter sitting calmly and listening to their conversation without irrupting or getting angry.

Usually, this little princess of their house won't let anyone speak bad about Lu Meirong or treat her badly. Today she is quite even when we were question her. Hua Mulan remembered what her daughter had said and how she had promised to change herself. May be that's the reason why their little princess is quite and not interfering or making a fuss about it. It's a good change.

Lee Jianguo didn't want to speak anything Infront of his little princess to avoid making her angry. So, he nicely asked Lu Meirong to come to the study,

"Little princess, you should go and rest for a while. Me and your mommy will discuss the matter with Meirong and help her out in this. You know your dad can do anything right?"

"Yes. Please help Meirong on this dad. I can't bear to see her sad, but this matter was difficult so I couldn't bring myself to force you to do anything dad. I wanted you to think about what you can do and help Meirong."

"My princess has finally grown up; she understands her dad's troubles. Don't worry princess we will definitely help Meirong to solve her problem. You go and rest", said Lee Jianguo lovingly and kissed Lijuan's forehead and sent her off. Before leaving Lijuan gave a kiss to her mom and gave a hug to Lu Meirong,

"Meirong, don't worry. Dad and mom will solve your problem soon."

Lu Meirong smiled softly at Lijuan and let her go, cursing her in her head. What a mess today, she has to act well enough, she can't let the cat out of the bag. She can't afford to let them doubt her intension or investigate her past. She has to act well. Giving herself the courage to act, Lu Meirong entered the study with Hua Mulan and Lee Jianguo.

The moment she entered she felt the study was too cold, whether it's because of the cooler temperature or the two people's coldness she didn't know.
