The sound of gravel against tires made Li Qing open her eyes, only to be met with a large Mediterranean mansion which just happened to be owned by the Chu family, they had arrived. When the car pulled to a stop Mr. Magnus seemed to have made a move to open his door, but instead he paused and faced forward again, completely immobile.

Li Qing's lips twitched and pulled open her own door and climbed out of the car, merely entertained by Mr. Magnus, afterall, she didn't care if he would open the door for her or not. She glanced around, an emotion flashing across her eyes before being lost in their depths. Usually, when someone of the Chu family returned, two lines of servants would greet them, however, for Li Qing, not a soul was awaiting her arrival.

It didn't seem to aggravate her as she walked up the path and opened the door with her keys and waltzed in like she owned the place. She glanced around, taking in all the expensive furnishings until she was met with the irked eyes of the butler of Chu home, Xu Ji. He merely scanned her and turned around, returning to where he came from.

Certainly, she wasn't even treated as a guest, but instead, like aghost that roamed the halls, unseen and unheard. Still, she followed after him as he walked to the salon, but before they even went in, the booming laughter of Mrs. Chu could be heard from down the hall. Li Qing walked right into the room still listening to Mrs. Chu's laughter, it was only when the woman saw her did the sitting room quiet down.

"Oh... so it's you," Mrs. Chu lightly commented on Li Qing's arrival as Li Qing took in Mrs. Chu's guests. Surely, she was right, these people were obviously putting on a play just for her. It wasn't a secret that Mrs. Chu was utterly disappointed when she couldn't get Xuan Sanaa as her daughter-in-law, she didn't fail to remind Li Qing each day and to complain to other people at events. She obviously was displeased to the core, but did she have to invite the one she wanted as her daughter-in-law over right after Li Qing lost her child and soon to be marriage? Without a doubt, this could anger someone to death.

Fortunately, however, Li Qing was no longer herself, but Zhen Qing instead, and she didn't have a sliver of feelings for Chu An, why would she care if Xuan Sanaa took up her leftovers when to her, Chu An's only use was to give her alimony money? Chang Biming didn't even beckon her feelings of love as a man, how could this little boy Chu An please her in any way? Xuan Sanaa was more than welcomed to take up this fledgling.

Li Qing watched as Mrs. Chu, Xuan Sanaa and Xuan Sanaa's mother, Da Ori looked at her with hostile gazes, certainly the act was about to begin.
