Lu Jianjun: "Since you don't believe. I'm just backing my authority. I think you're well aware of the legislation."
Master Lu: "Lu Jianjun, stop it. And apologize to Elder Li!"
Lu Jianjun: "I will. If she accepts that."
Elder Li recalled the previous times when Lu Jianjun was this furious she remembered the first time, Lu Jianjun reach her. He had proposed to take Li Na's responsibility, her education up to her living expenses, everything. Grandma Li thought maybe Lu Jianjun has fallen in love with Li Na and wants to marry her but that was not the case. He never intended to do any of that.
She declined! How could she allow her granddaughter to be a mistress? If not for making her a mistress then why does he wants to spend his money on her?
Subsequently, after rejecting his offer Grandma Li strictly warned Li Na to be careful of the man named: Lu Jianjun.
A few months later, Li Na's grandfather was critical and the amount of money needed to be was huge. To collect that much in a short period was impossible for her. At that time Li Na gave her money. She told Elder Li not to worry about money as she had more than enough for the whole treatment.
Elder Li thought maybe Li Na had sold her shares but she lied to her and signed the agreement. Elder Li partially accuses herself of this happening. She should have known the outcome of one-sided love and if she could stop Li Na maybe, maybe Li Na would not have tried to commit suicide. Li Na's love for Lu Jianjun is the thing Elder Li wants to guard her against. Indirectly, she sold Li Na to him.
Elder Li warned him: "Lu Jianjun if you can't marry her? It's better to leave her."
Lu Jianjun spouted full of aggression: "That's my personal decision and I don't allow interference. Just remember that."
Master Lu looked at the stubborn man as he didn't know him at all. As if Lu Jianjun was not the child he raised him to be.
An agreement? So that's how he took her responsibility! He never agreed to marry her nor intended too.
Helplessly, Master Lu said: "sigh, Lu Jianjun, I never thought you could be this cruel and shameless. It's good that your mother didn't see you becoming a monster."
Lu Jianjun eyes darkened as hell and he snatched the file from his assistant and roughly tossed it onto the table. He glared at Master Lu with a capricious look. Then he stood up and was about to leave but paused momentarily before stating towards Elder Li, "Keep it. And before giving your judgment, read it properly." then he walked out of the room.
He personally came to throw the papers on Li Na's face. How dared she to commit suicide? He has given her everything, money, freedom, a luxurious lifestyle. What else she wants? Lu Jianjun had taken her responsibility for her betterment and his personal reasons, he didn't hold any alternative motive behind that nor he forced anything on Li Na.
Truth to be told, Lu Jianjun was an earnest and disciplined man he never intended to make her his mistress or had any ill thought about her nor he mends into her life. He barely sees her, to be precisely once or twice and everything was crystal clear from the start. Lu Jianjun particularly told Lu Jun-hui to provide her everything and whatever she demands.
The contract was never his idea. She was free to live, laugh or love. Moreover, it was Li Na herself who wanted to sign the agreement, that really surprised him. How could a girl like to be bounded? she told him this way her grandmother won't be able to intervene which could be a concern for him.
Heading back to his office, Lu Jianjun pinched his brows with eyes closed as he tried to relax. But couldn't stop thinking about Elder Li's resolution. Suddenly his phone rang, it was Lu Jun-hui.
"Hello Brother, Where are you?"
"..."
Lu Junhui's brain started to turn after a lengthy brainstorming, he could finally find the guts to call him and then, 'No answer, not even a word. Oh! God, he's in a terrible mood. I should not disturb him?'
Lu Junhui thought of making excuse but then, 'If I didn't father will kill me! Damn, I wish mother could save me from her short-tempered husband and wild tempered son.' Lu Junhui felt like crying, both of them scared the shit out of him.
Irritated by silence, Lu Jianjun roared, "Stop babbling and speak!"
Gosh...he's getting angry!
Gulping down his anxiety, Lu Jun-hui rubbed his nose as he has to convey the orders, sightly clearing his throat he tried to mimic to his serious brother, "Ohh...Ok. I'll come to the point. Bro, I was saying, I was saying that...Huh! What do I want to say..."
The message was deleted!
On the other side, Lu Jianjun's expression became guileless, "..." Lu Junhui still can't handle this much little pressure. He wonders why the hell he made him the boss of the Glam Queen Media & Presentation and how he'll manage it.
"Junhui, write down what I say!"
Snapping out of his leaking head, Lu Junhui said "Ah? Ohh...Yes, yes. Wait a minute." then he took a pen and paper to note down, "Boss, your orders."
"Shift Li Na to Versailles Manor."
"Ok, ...Li Na to Versailles Ma... What? Hell No?"Lu Junhui cried out loudly.
"Really? You got a problem?"
a deadly voice resounded.
"Yes, No. I-I mean why?"
"Follow the orders, otherwise, you're fired."
Beep, beep, beep. Fired? It's been a few days I have joined.
"No way...I want mommy!"
....
Moments passed as Lu Jianjun left. Elder Li came back to her senses, she took a deep sigh before picking up the file on the table.
Inside the hospital room, Li Na dreamt of all the sweet memories she had. The memories rolled with a flash of light. The happiness, laughter, joy, teasing, a few awkward moments. She was the pride of her family...in the end...Zooop!
Reflexively she opened her resting eyes filled with shock, the last vision was clear as a high definition image before her eyes. Reflecting on the adversity, Li Na breathed out the bullet's specification.
Caliber, 8.58mm
Rim,14.93mm
Velocity, to be exact 1,003m/s.
That must be .338 Lapua Magnum. a bottlenecked, centerfire of the quietest sniper rifle.
Fuck!
Bloody Hell! I was hammered soo smoothly.
Suddenly, Li Na felt a sting of pain in her eyes she couldn't endure the tears of sadness, aggression, anger, guilt. She never felt like this as if someone had given her a tight slap and she totally deserves that. The memory played several times in her mind. The up-close penetration she witnessed when she turned to look towards the voyaging sound.
Shocked, Li Na lay on the bed while nourishing her own thoughts. Unaware of her surroundings. It was then a nurse, who entered the room saw her wide awake. She immediately turned to called the Doctors.
Abruptly, Li Na realized she was not only conscious but physically alive. Her eyes moved swiftly around the room when her mind popped out of the bubble of grief, surely everything was real.
How is this reasonable? Either she should be in hell or heaven? But this does look neither of that. A weak voice buzzed in her head, 'I didn't die?'
Unacceptable!
I didn't die. As the realization hit her she felt a sharp pain coming over more like running a marathon inside her brain. It was like a series of fragments, blur images, chaotic noises like a 20 years long movie being played with the fastest speed.
Hoosh!
Within minute everything became black and silent. Li Na's exhausted brain collapsed while her whole body drenched in sweat.
...
"Li Na...Li Na?" The gentle and worrisome voice beside Li Na's ear made her return to her senses.
What the fuck?
Again Li Na!
Who's this Li Na? Somebody should call her.
Why is it? I'm obviously dead but why I feel so alive? This couldn't be hell! Impossible!
Li Na slowly opened her eyes as an old lady called her again: "Li Na"
Bullshit! Fuck! Am I truly alive? Is it a miracle?
Calm down, Calm down, Calm down...Grasping a few deep breaths, Li Na worked hard to stop herself from panicking or shouting or doing something crazy. She stared horrified like there were ghosts all around her.
