Esma was over the moon today as she had received a call from her dear nephew-slash-the only friend in the world who had invited her to Long Mansion himself!
Finally, she was going to rip the faces off, bitches!
She had been to the Long Mansion a few times but only as Song Lily's psychiatrist. 'That woman is real crazy, I warn you.' And now she had evidence to prove this. Still, she failed to uncover some substantial evidence which would destroy her image in the public. She so wanted to destroy that bitch!
When she reached the Long Mansion, she saw Gu Tian, Long Jie's loyal dog waiting for her at the entrance.
"Miss Dermott, please come this way. I will lead the way to where Master has been waiting for you," Gu Tian spoke in a monotone voice.
He stiffened his back and avoided looking at her. Dammit, he was a man who couldn't control the reaction of his body whenever he would see a temptress.
Esma was not wearing her usual clothes today, instead, she was wearing a black pantsuit diminishing the air of wicked allure surrounding her. Still, the clothes couldn't hide her core.
"Call me Esma, Handsome!" Esma winked at him. "What a waste of a handsome face if you behave formally with me!"
"If I forgot my professionalism for a moment with you, I'm sure Master will chop me off into tiny tiny pieces and would not hesitate to feed me to his dogs," Gu Tian replied, looking all indifferent and sexy to her.
Esma laughed as she walked ahead. She shook her head imagining Long Jie actually doing that. 'Let me tell you a secret which no one else does, I flirt with men to appear bold and not to look like an anomaly in the room as they make me uncomfortable. Men freak me out especially if they touch me. I flirt with them, touch them, tease them because I know it's me who is in control, and women of my sort make men repulsive to us.'
They reached the living room where not only Long Jie but the entire Long family was sitting and it appeared as if they were waiting for her.
Esma pinched Gu Tian's back through his thick suit and whispered," Why didn't you tell me before that the entire family would be there?"
With a straight face, he replied," If I did, you wouldn't have come inside, Miss Dermott."
"Go die, Asshole." Angry Esma summons a dirty-mouthed Esma.
"Everyone, this is Esma." Long Jie introduced a very livid Esma to everyone while walking to her.
In the crowd, Elder Long's stiff face, Grandma Mian's cold face, and Long brothers' troubled face could be seen. The younger generation was more intrigued by the 'beauty in black.'
"She is literally so beautiful, " Meilin said to her husband. She couldn't take her eyes off the woman who was now her Aunt-in-law. She had to admit that Long genes were absolutely stunning. One could just look at her face and tell that she had the blood of Longs going through her veins. It was different in the case of Alcina whose foreign features were more dominant.
"She is dangerous." The reply came from Long Yuan. Yes, he was intrigued by Esma to the point of falling in a daze and he still was...but he knew better than to give her a reason to make an ass out of him again.
If Zhenyi hasn't shown him the real face of Esma that day, he would be like Meilin now.
"Dangerous?" Meilin whispered. "You are probably mistaken, little brother. Tell me from what angle does she look dangerous?"
"Sister-in-law, you find Zhenyi and Alcina innocent too when you met them for the first time, but are they in reality?" Long Yuan whispered back. "And please, do not stare at her. The woman is a genius in hypnosis."
Meilin's jaw dropped when she heard what Long Yuan said. "Why can't the women of our family be normal for once?!"
"My dear wife, they all are normal in their own way. There is nothing wrong with them," Long Wei said to his wife gently. Throwing a glare at Yuan, he added, "And stop listening to Yuan's nonsense. Look at her, she looks friendly and the way she behaves with bro. Does it looks to you that she is dangerous?"
Zhenyi yawned while hearing their whispers. She glanced at her husband who was now looking at his Aunt Esma. She has to admit that this girl despite being a third grade bad girl, gave off mysterious vibes.
"If I had known that you called me to meet the infamous Long family, it would have been better, Ah-Jie," Esma said, maintaining the smile on her face despite being livid.
"We are not bad people, Esma," Long Shaomimg said.
Esma snickered. "I dare to differ, Mr. Long."
Long Sheng stood up and walked to Esma. "You are our little sister, dear. We don't mean any harm to you. We just got to know about your existence and just wanted to bring you back home to make up for the lost years."
Esma burst out laughing while hearing her so-called brother's words. "Little sister? Says who? I'm not acknowledging any of you as my brother or something. Can you please stop this familial drama? It's creeping the hell out of me."
She paused for a minute and then turned to look at Long Jie."You dare to disclose my identity without my permission?!"
Zhenyi's ears perked up as she heard Esma talking to her husband in a threatening tone. She wanted to show her where she really belonged but stopped herself because she was told by her husband not to pick a fight with Esma because the latter was looking for a chance to pick one.
"It was not my son who told us about your existence, Esma," Long Shaoming said this time. "Instead, it was Alcina. You might not know Alcina but she is the daughter of this family."
