Chapter 452 - 433: Starting a War-I

Li Lian stepped down from the podium, silence was in the room after the earlier reporter had went ahead and made a horrible mistake by accusing her, the rest of the reporter were too afraid to make a move.

Li Lian made an eye contact with Li Jun Wei, and at the same time saw him sending message to her, [I'll be waiting]

Li Lian nodded she went around the podium to leave, not wanting to bother with the two men who had invited themselves to the hall. But she knew they wouldn't leave her alone as when she started to land her last steps on the staircase, Wei Tsui Lan came toward her and hand out the bright blue roses toward her.

Once again the sound of shutters came from the end of the room before she could fully react at the flower. With the amount of pictures taken, she could tell Wei Tsui Lan was aiming for this, else he would have given her the roses backstage or later. Not that she would take the roses. 

"Congratulations," said Wei Tsui Lan and Li Lian frowned, so did Li Jun Wei who was standing far near the door. But he didn't act rather than move, simply because he thought he didn't need to.

"What congratulation?" Li Lian questioned the man back, having him to smile meaningfully without saying a word. "What are you planning by giving more attention to me?"

"I thought you need it to be more famous? I know you want to defeat your sister," Wei Tsui Lan whispered even though he didn't have to whisper as the distance between them and the reporters were quite distant.

"I'm a singer, not a fancy call girl. I don't need attention from others as it doesn't bring me joy," Li Lian explained as the man didn't seem to understand her profession. "We seem to have different principles. Thank you for the roses, but I suggest you to give it to someone else. Like the attention, I don't need roses."

"Even though most women love roses?" Wei Tsui Lan rose his brows. 

"Well, I am not like most women," Li Lian said, picking one stem of the roses, she left the place and take one to gift it toward a small girl who was near the reporters. Wei Tsui Lan watched Li Lian left as his smile curl higher. "For you," Wei Tsui Lan said, giving the bouquet to the person who casually walk on his left side.

Making her way outside where Li Jun Wei was, she saw him entering the car and went inside the same car under no one's attention. When she entered, Li Lian took off her jacket, receiving his gaze and she chuckled, "Jealous?"

Li Jun Wei wasn't blind not to notice the corner of Li Lian's eyes curbing as she intended to tease Jim. Humoring her, Li Jun Wei pulled a small grin, "If I take flowers from other women, will you be jealous?"

Li Lian stared at him in a thought, "No," she then replied, her head turning to the left not to meet his gaze but her eyes still peered in his shadow on the window.

"No?" Li Jun Wei questioned and in an effortless movement, he pulled her by her waist. Li Lian who didn't expect his action, had her eyes wide in startle. She turned to meet him then see his eyes narrowing. With a little annoyance on his eyes, he leaned forward and thinking she would be kissed, Li Lian quirked her lips, waiting for the kiss only to yelp in pain as Li Jun Wei had bit her lower lips. "Teasing me again, aren't you my bad wife."

Li Lian shrugged her shoulders, "I feel like I had to," she chuckled, and placed her finger over her lower lips, "It hurts," she complained, "How did you think I did today?"

"Excellent," Li Jun Wei answered and he leaned to plant a kiss on her forehead. "The date when Jin Family meet the court had been decided. It's next week."

"That fast?" Li Lian asked in surprise.

"Not really fast, it could have been faster but it will raise suspicions," Li Jun Wei explained.

"Have Mrs. Jin contact you?" Li Lian then asked, she wondered if Mrs. Jin would choose sacrificing her daughter and son for her sake.

"Not yet, but she will soon," Li Jun Wei answered, his voice was steady as though he had expected it would happen very close in the future. "Your grandmother's condition has stabilized, you don't need to worry yourself as I have put some bodyguard with her and have Ruen to investigate the accident."

"I have a feeling that something is strange," Li Lian said, pulling her hand underneath her chin, "Today, the one who had sent that video, I don't think it was Hue Lin. Something was different."

"I noticed it," Li Jun Wei said, "I don't want to erase the possibility that she might not be the one who had pushed your grandmother but I have a gut feeling that someone else is involved."

"Someone in the house," said Li Lian, she too agree with this reasoning because from some odd reason if Xie Hue Lin was truly faking her act of being the saddest person in the world to know her grandmother was involved in an accident, she would still have time to juggle between her act and ruin her by uploading the video. Knowing Xie Hue Lin, she would have done it the first day the news came out, but for two days, Xie Hue Lin was still. "I have sent Violet to look over my sister, just to see whether she have gone out of the house."

"Good," Li Jun Wei said, "If it is your family member, it would be easy to narrow them down, but it would be hard if it is someone who we don't know."

"Right, I was also wo-ah!" Li Lian suddenly felt the car stopped in the middle when it raced, due to the impact, her body inclined forward, flying from her seat and Li Jun Wei immediately stopped her from collapsing to the front chair by slamming his hand on the nearby door. 

He narrowed his eyes, looking to the chauffeur who noticed the glare of his master gave and immediately say, "My apologize, sir. Someone had abruptly stopped the car in front of us!" A second later and they would have crashed!

Before Li Lian looked up to see whose car it was, the door next to Li Jun Wei was knocked. Seeing who it was, Li Jun Wei's eyes narrowed and he pulled the gun he hid inside the car. Haruhi smiled as he tried to peer his face toward the window. "Mr. and Mrs. Li, can we have a small talk together? I was sad you two ignored me when I wanted to talk."
