97 Jogging Answers

It's been almost two weeks since Lu Xinyi gained conscious. The supposed Young Master Yu never came to meet her or see her.

Her regular medical set up was to the point. By good Cardio she was able to move about relatively well. Although she was tired in no time, she was improving everyday.

The Mansion was very big but most of the rooms and areas were off limit to her.

All day long she ate, did cardio and went to sleep.

Since her last breakdown the maids and nurses kept their mouth shut like they couldn't even hear her.

The situation saddened her. She cried herself to sleep almost everyday. No matter what she said nobody would respond like there mouths were sealed.

When she threw tantrums for answers or cause a commotion they would straightway sedate her.

Being knocked out wasn't one of her favorite experiences so she try to stay low after the third time.

The people in this place were different like you could sense danger from them all the time like they were on battle field ready to attack anytime.

The three meals were brought to her in her room, she wasn't allowed to leave her room except for one hour in the evening for a stroll in the garden.

A maid always followed her and only left her side once it was time to sleep.

The only person who wasn't dumb in this place was the Butler but he looked at her like she castrated him in his last life time.

It was obvious that they were keeping her here as a prisoner for a crime she can't even remember.

She must have done an expensive crime to have this fancy prison. Lu Xinyi giggled at the thought.

The doctor told her that her memories will return with time but so far she remember nothing but according to the Doctor anything could trigger her memories.

Right now she was sitting in the Balcony on a chair enjoying the sun while reading a book on astronomy. Books and magazines were another luxury she was given.

Lei Xinyi heard the movement from the room and assumed it was the maid who brought the food.

Apparently in this Mansion she wasn't even allowed to lock the doors or no one even did the courtesy to knock.

She couldn't wait to get out of this fancy cage.

"Miss, Young Master Yu sent this for you." Lu xinyi turned around at the voice of Butler, only to see him holding a smart phone on a tray with his gloved hands.

Lu Xinyi looked at the man whose face was still etched with a frown and sat up straighter, straightening her spine. Unconsciously the man scared the wits out of her.

"A phone?" Lu Xinyi extended her hand to grab the phone, it looked like a used phone. It wasn't in a bad shape but it was definitely not brand new.

"Yes Miss. The phone belong to you from before the accident."

"It's mine?!" Lu Xinyi immediately switched it on. If the phone did really belong to her than it can tell her a lot about herself. maybe she will trigger a memory.

Lu Xinyi became engrossed in the phone to see the gallery if she could recognize anyone and jog her memory.

The Butler got out of the room and the maid followed him behind.

"Butler Xu, why would you give her a phone, she can contact anyone. Don't you know how dangerous she is? She can do a lot with a phone!"

The Butler paused and turned, "That's the whole purpose. Master want to know if she has really lost her memory or not."

The maid scoffed, "Why is she even allowed in the Mansion?!"

The Butler demeanor changed, "You are a maid stay a maid. What our Master does is non of your concern."

"Ye..Yes. Butler Xu. I understand. " The maid stammered and scurried away.

In the room Lu Xinyi started going through the gallery that was filled with mostly candid photos of her and a girl and a boy and occasionally candid photos of other people too.

It was taken by angles that the people in the photo didn't know they were being photographed.

There were photos of her smoking and drinking boldly in sensual or sexy dresses, the kind of dresses that takes a lot of confident to wear them. All of that left her speechless, she didn't think she had it in her.

Getting out of the gallery she went in the inbox which was empty but sent messages and draft told her that this was once an active phone.

Lu Xinyi immediately went in the contacts to see if there was anybody she could recognize, but there were contacts saved by the names like: Viper, Vulture, Blade, Shadow, Bullet...

Lu Xinyi threw the phone on the table with sweat trickling down her forehead. To say she was frightened would be an understatement.

She didn't have memories but even she could tell that normal people didn't have contact lists like that.

Was she a criminal prior to losing her memories?

She had seen how caution people were around her. Was that because of her criminal record? They were definitely not government officials then who were they?

They were feeding and treating her like a guest but she was far from it. Most of the clothes they brought her were either too sensual or revealing to the point she herself felt ashamed.

Was she a mistress of this supposed Young Master Yu? Was this the reason they were treating her like this?

Was she a sacrificial lamb all along?

Lu Xinyi felt her eyes well up with tears. She didn't know the kind of person she was but she definitely didn't want to be used.

Bracing herself Lu Xinyi decided she couldn't stay here and wait for this Young Master Yu to tear her dignity apart.

She had to do something and that something can't be another tantrum, they will simply sedate her again.

Wiping her tears and steeling her backbone Lu Xinyi ringed the bell for the maid to come.

The door opened and a frowning woman entered the room.

"Go call the Butler, please." Lu Xinyi said in her most confident tone which was still polite.

"Miss, you can't..." So finally the woman spoke something after almost two weeks.

"I wasn't asking. Bring him here or you don't need to attend me anymore." Lu Xinyi said and looked at the maid with a hard look, that she was trying very hard to preserve on her face.

The maid opened her mouth then closed and left.

Lu Xinyi heart was thumping in her chest. She heaved a sigh of relief once the maid was gone.

Now she only had to get some answers without crying or going in hysterics.

In a matter of seconds the Butler was before her.

"Miss Lei, you called for me?" His tone was monotonously curious but she could sense the underlying mock in it.

"What is the nature of my relationship with your Young Master?" There was no point in stalling so she got straight to the point.

"Relationship!" he scoffed and shook his head in amusement, "You were a... kind of employee."

Lu Xinyi looked at him unamused, and leaned forward, "Kind of employee? What kind of employee? What kind of employees have the privilege to live and recover in their Boss's Mansion?!"

The Butler looked at her incredulous, "If Young Master see fit he will let you know."

Lu Xinyi pursed her lips, "Fine! When your Young Master deems fit, tell him to visit my corpse cause I will not eat anything until then."

The butler raised his brow. Since when did Lei Xinyi became this spoiled?! Since when did she start throwing tantrums?! Shouldn't she be scheming and be calculative instead of being a brat?!

"Miss Lei, this is not a wise..."

"I don't care! If he can do as he please, so can I!" Lu Xinyi cut him off waving her right hand at him as if shooing a fly.

The Butler was lost for words. Prior to working as a Butler here he served in Yu's Headquarter.

He had dealt with numerous near death experiences and heart jolting scenarios without shaking even for once but this, he didn't know how deal with it.

Taking a deep tired breath the Butler left the room. They had yet to see how adamant she was to her threats.
