20 Marriage Edic

She had been in this h.e.l.l hole for a whole week. Laying upside-down with her legs on the headboard of the bed, she was going through the phone of the real Lu Xinyi.

d.a.m.n! she was such a boring creature! She had social media accounts that were almost all private with her family member only. Even then she didn't post too much of her pictures.

She was the only daughter of the Lu family which was one of 10 most influential and wealthiest families of the country, but she had never been exposed to the public because of security issues.

No wonder she didn't know she had a doppelganger; She was just so well hidden. There whole house had tight security around every corner. She would have to be too careful not to be caught.

She checked news on Su Qing and saw that she was called in a reality show yesterday, which means she was safe. And if she was safe it means He Zheng would be safe too.

They were the only people she cared and probably will be the only people she will miss when she will be gone. They were like siblings she never had.

For the last week she hadn't seen anyone in the house because her supposed family wasn't home. Master Lu, her 'father' was on official work.

Lu Han was on a trip with his friends while Lu Sheng didn't live in the Lu family Mansion but in his own penthouse, he only came here on special occasions and her 'step-mother' outright ignored her.

Today Master Lu was returning from his official trip and everyone was supposed to be on the table because they were going to witness Lu Xinyi 'marriage edict' that was going to be pa.s.sed.

Hearing a knock on the door, she went to the Breakfast table as instructed. Everyone except Lu Jiong was present on the table, apparently Lu Han returned early from his trip. Today she was seated beside Lu Sheng, as Lu Han was beside his mother.

As Lu Jiong entered the room and sat on the head of the table, the room became filled with a heavy atmosphere.

n.o.body touched the food. Everyone was eager to know what was going to be said except Lei Xinyi.

Taking a deep breath Lu Jiong not looking at anyone particularly he started in a stern voice as if pa.s.sing a decree, "The marriage between The Lu's and The Li's was arranged thirteen years back. It can't be dissolved in a day or two. It will reflect badly for both the families."

Thinking how he almost lost his daughter, he sighed and continued looking at Lu Xinyi, "I don't want to force you into this marriage but you will give a chance to this. If you still feel you don't want to be with your fiancé. I will let you walk out of it and arrange another marriage for you."

'Arrange another marriage' meaning the marriage will be in any way of his own consent. Either way it was not her concern, she would leave before the marriage. So she shrugged and said, "Okay."

But somehow her casual answer didn't seem casual to the people on the table they expected her to cry, get emotional or say some sentimental things as typical Lu Xinyi would.

They stared at her as if she was some unique artifact in a museum. Blinking her eyes Lei Xinyi thought 'Did she say something wrong?'

Looking at her acting all indifferent Master Lu pressed his lips together 'Did he really push her too far this time?'

Everyone then thought maybe she was too hurt to argue.

Looking at her as she seemed too clueless he said, "Lu Xinyi, just give it a try once. If you feel the same I will marry you to anybody you say of our society."

Seeing as her reactions were turning to normal, he said, "The Li's elder and I have discussed this matter. As your fiancé stays too busy to traditionally date so you will start working in his office by the beginning of the next month. You can know him better that way but you are still grounded."

Saying that he picked his chopstick ending the subject not that Lei Xinyi had anything to add. She was happy to be let out.

Anyway it wasn't her fiancé or marriage that she should be concerned. Her only concern was that she was still grounded!

When everyone had their meals Master Lu was the first to leave and then as Lei Xinyi was about to leave Lu Sheng held her hand under the table. As she looked at him he was eating his meal not even looking at her. Lei Xinyi sat down and held her chopstick waiting for Madam Lu to leave…
