PRETENDING

***PREVIOUS CHAPTER***

"Remember your words Mrs. Chen. Do you think that I don't know that you told Xiao Ting my sister got into a car accident? Your granddaughters poisoned my sister.... They'll pay a price later and you too" Lu Hui's eyes filled with anger and darkness, Mrs. Chen gave him a light nod.

***

Lu Hui knew that her granddaughters were listening to their conversation so he was angrier and colder, so they'd know that they were already caught. The youngest of the two was scared, there was a rumour that she killed her parents. The eldest of the two was a pretending girl, she acted like she never knew something. But she was worse than her younger sister.

***Xiao Ting's room***

Xiao Ting was just finished with calling Han Lu, pretending she didn't know about his affair. Xiao Ting was mad that he really didn't tell her the truth, she was going to visit today. Xiao Ting knew that Han Lu and Xiao Xa were somewhere together, she was going to ruin her stepmom first...

Xiao Ting went downstairs seeing a Mrs. Chen and Lu Hui talking with each other, she heard one thing before leaving the house. 'Poisoned', Lu Hui sounded pretty mad and scary when saying that.

***Xiao's Mansion***

Xiao Ting just arrived and went inside the house. Xiao Ting saw her dad and stepmother talking to each other, she decided to eavesdrop them.

"I don't want Xiao Xa to marry Han Lu!! She'll only give us problems!!" Mr. Xiao angrily shouted. "Please give Xiao Xa a chance honey, think of their happiness together. They'd be better than you think, they'll give us fame!!" Mrs. Xiao happily shouted. "No, don't ever bring this up again!!" Mr. Xiao left the kitchen and went to the garden. Xiao Ting pretended that she was just home.

"Hello stepmom, my day was so boring!! I had an interview with a weird pervert!! He was trying to flirt with me on camera!!" Xiao Ting knew that Mrs. Xiao would think of letting Xiao Ting and the pervert sleep together so her daughter could marry Han Lu.

"That's bad!! Has he given you his contact information?" Mrs. Xiao acted so bad that the guards even cringed, Mrs. Xiao wanted to meet the pervert.

"He told me to come to the beach tomorrow at 10 a.m." Xiao Ting had a perfect plan in her mind.

"I'll go to make him pay for being so perverted!!" Mrs. Xiao smiled which was weird in this situation, they were talking about an imaginary pervert.....

***Three hours later, Lu's Mansion***

"Mr. Lu I would like to ask you for a favor.... Can you please go to the beach tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.? My stepmom will be there, I want to ruin her first..." Xiao Ting asked him while sitting in front of him.

"We'll see, but aren't you scared of me?" Lu Hui dropped his pen and looked at Xiao Ting.

"Not at all sir, why would I?" Xiao Ting wasn't scared of him, she had to endure things worse than this....

"Alright I'll go to there, but you'll come with me" Lu Hui got up and walked away.

***Xiao Ting's room***

Xiao Ting sat on her bed reading the news until two maids came to her, all panicking.

"Miss Xiao master is gone!! We have to know where you have seen him for the last time, otherwise Mrs. Chen will kill us!!" the eldest of the two spoke with fear in her words.

"Call him, I don't know where he is. You are supposed to take care of him, why didn't you pay attention?" Xiao Ting got mad at the two maids.

"Miss Xiao, please go to his office to see it yourself!!" the youngest one was mad.

"MRS. CHEN WHO ARE THESE MAIDS?!" Xiao Ting was getting angrier and angrier.

"Miss Xiao, what's wrong? The master is complaining about too much noise, he'll throw a tantrum if it isn't quiet..." Mrs. Chen entered the room looking at the two maids.

"Why are you two here?! Go and leave, don't ever lie again or I'll make sure that Mr. Lu kills you!!" nobody had seen Mrs. Chen this mad, but something was off..... Xiao Ting didn't say a word about a lie, they were hiding something from her. The two maids ran out of the room out of fear.

"I'm sorry that they disturbed you Miss Xiao, my apologies. They can be really hard to control, they do bad things without thinking twice!!" Mrs. Chen changed attitudes this fast, what was she trying?That made sure that they were hiding something from her....
