Chapter 18: Grounded

Name:Lazily Yours. Author:TheBlips
Huang Li Duo's face turned dark. How could he let this woman continue to disrespect him in front of everyone? "Let's go to the Directors office." He looked at Shen Qui. "Come with us. You will act as a witness."

When Lyca heard this, her mood immediately became worse. Why did she need to talk to her grandfather? She needed to rest! She lowered her gaze hiding the irritation that she felt inside. She needed to finish this as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lyca said nothing as she followed her uncle back to her grandfather's office. She kept her head lowered, hiding the anger in her eyes. In her previous life, the heir did not need to explain why she killed someone. It seems that the rules of this world were indeed different. She glanced at her uncle's dark face and immediately realized that this Huang Li Duo and his daughter Huang Xiaoxuan were so alike. They cannot solve the matter on their own and would prefer to involve other people.

This should be the reason why Old Man Huang didn't choose this man to lead the company! After all, he was a bit stupid and was too arrogant.

"Cousin… where did you learn that move?" she heard Zhang Jiu utter. He was walking next to her. "Now that I think about it… that move is not one of the techniques that we have in the Huang Family. Are you secretly learning some moves like that to surprise everyone? Also the movement of your feet was too light and agile! Does this mean you are secretly practicing our light footsteps technique? Say, who is your master? Can you introduce me to your master? How about this… why don't we fight and If I win… you will introduce me to your master? I was thinking…"

A chatterbox! Lyca didn't know if she should laugh or cry at Zhang Jiu's changes. Of course, she immediately made a mental note to avoid this person in the future. Clearly, this Zhang Jiu loved to fight. Now that he saw Lyca's ability, all the disgust that he felt earlier vanished like smoke in the air. He immediately felt the need to challenge his younger cousin.

"No." Lyca's words interrupted his three minute chatter.

"What do you mean no? No as in you won't introduce me to your master? Or no, you won't fight with me? Are you saying that you are practicing a different technique? Or are you saying that you didn't secretly learn it? Oh! You want to keep your moves a secret? That is indeed very reasonable. You can't just teach someone a secret technique like that. Thus, I wanted you to introduce me to your master and…"

Lyca was truly speechless. How could someone talk so much? Just hearing him talk for a few minutes was already making her head ache. Was this person for real? Lyca decided to ignore her sense of hearing and continued walking towards her grandfather's office. After a few minutes of identification, they finally arrived inside the office. Surprisingly, Li Xian, Huang Xiaoxuan and even Lyca's father Huang Sheng Hong were already in the office.

"Father." Huang Li Duo immediately started narrating what happened and would occasionally ask Shen Qui and Li Xian to corroborate his story. "I believe it is only right to punish her for attacking Huang Xiaoxuan with the intent to kill her."

Huang Sheng Hong's snort followed his older brother's words. He looked at his own daughter, pride brimming in his eyes before sending a gaze full of ridicule to Huang Li Duo. As Lyca's father, Sheng Hong was aware what kind of woman his daughter was. However, he was not the type of person who loves boasting. Moreover, Lyca had always been clear that she did not want to attract any attention to herself. His daughter never showed interest in the family business and he was not planning to force her something she does not like.

All he wanted was for her to live a happy life.

However, these people seemed to think that Lyca was a pushover. He sneered inwardly. "We already watched the video, elder brother." He said. He knew that Huang Li Duo would try something like this. So, he immediately went back to his father's office to warn him about it.

In the end, Old Man Huang watched everything from the camera in the training grounds.

"We also know why she acted that way." Huang Sheng Hong continued. He eyed his daughter's sleepy eyes. Seeing this, he immediately knew what his daughter was thinking right now.

Sleep.

As usual, Lyca wanted her sleep. She must have been really irritated and angry inwardly. Sheng Hong forced himself not to laugh at his daughter's expression and looked at his brother instead. This man was really scheming.

"Intent to kill?" Old Man Huang spoke. "If Lyca wanted to kill Xiaoxuan… do you think she would wake up in a matter of minutes?" He raised an eyebrow. The old man already realized his mistake of agreeing to this challenge. He should have just stood on his ground and declared Lyca the heiress.

However, it was too late. He could already see the effects of what he did. A sigh left his lips. The white haired heir… was always the most capable one. That was something that he himself knew from his experience. But this was a secret that only the patriarch should know. He could not let the other family know the Huang Family's secret.

"Father!" Huang Li Duo's face darkened. The old man really favored Lyca!

"However, I do agree. That attack was indeed uncalled for." The old man suddenly said. Right now, he understood some of the things that his granddaughter loved. Someone who wants a lazy and casual life would not want to stay in this place for too long. "That's why… I will punish Lyca… a month of staying in her family's mansion. You will have to skip a few days of classes but that should not be a problem."

"Grounded?" Lyca asked. She couldn't hide the stars in her eyes.

"Yes. You are grounded." The old man sighed. As expected, Lyca immediately lowered her head, hiding the happiness that she felt inside. The old man didn't know if he would laugh or cry. This granddaughter of his was really… unique.
