I Hate You, Devil! 159 Grave

Scarlet Hill

As soon as Luo Xiaolei opened the door, she was welcomed by Little Rui's sweet voice.

"Mommy!!!"

When Luo Xiaolei lifted her face, she saw two soft little buns running towards her.

It appeared that the twins had been sitting by the window waiting for her. Seeing them, Luo Xiaolei smiled as she immediately crouched down to embrace her little bundles of joy.

"I missed you, Mommy."

"Missed you too, my sweeties."

"Where is daddy?"

"He's on his way."

"Oh, I see. Ah! Mommy! Great grandpa is still here! He said he wanted to meet you so he didn't go back home yet."

'Err… what? Mr. Yu is here?!'

Luo Xiaolei was perplexed. Somehow, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She was finally meeting Yu Chen's one and only family member and she wasn't prepared at all.

But she had no time to even think or become flustered because the boys already dragged her towards the sofa where the old man was sitting.

"Great grandpa, mommy's here." Little Rui was very excited.

Upon seeing her, the old man stood up and walked closer to her. He was smiling pleasantly at her.

"M-mr. Yu, I'm Luo Xiaolei. I'm honored to meet you." Luo Xiaolei was a bit tensed as she introduced herself. She didn't know why. She was not intimidated but for some reason, she was unbelievably self-conscious. Relax Xiaolei…

The old man let out a pleasant laugh.

"No, no, the pleasure is mine, and from now on, please call me grandpa." He said, smiling widely at her while Luo Xiaolei almost choked.

"Your little buns were right… you are such a stunning lady. My grandson is so lucky." He added and Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but blush. She really didn't know how to respond.

"T-thank you but actually, I am the lucky one." She replied as she offered for the old man to take his seat.

"Oh, that's quite surprising. I'm glad to hear that. Xiao Chen is such a cold, boring guy so I was quite worried."

"No, no. Uhm… actually, Yu Chen is very nice to me. He's not cold at all and he's definitely not boring."

"Ohh… that's a relief then." The old man was obviously surprised. He didn't expect this at all. He came to visit his granddaughter in law to at least help his grandson in any way he could but it seemed like there was no need for him to say anything and he was just worrying too much.

As the old man continued talking to Luo Xiaolei, she somehow loosened up. She didn't expect that old man Yu was such a jolly person. No wonder her little buns, even the indifferent little Ran had taken a liking to him in such a very short time.

Time passed and Yu Chen was still not home.

The little buns were already asleep so Luo Xiaolei went out to see old man Yu off. However, while they were busy saying goodbye to each other, an approaching black car caught their attention. The car screeched to a stop right before them.

Luo Xiaolei's heart immediately began to race wildly as she looked at the black car. When she saw traces of bullet holes all over the car, her eyes widened in horror.

She, and old man Yu were so shocked that they seemed to be rooted to the ground.

Guan Ye was the first to step out, he was wounded and blood was flowing from his forehead.

Luo Xiaolei's lips trembled and then she dashed towards the car.

"Yu Chen!!" she yelled. She couldn't explain what she was feeling. She felt like her heart was about to burst.

As she approached the car, Gu Wei climbed out and Yu Chen followed suit.

Luo Xiaolei halted for an immeasurable amount of time at the sight of him before she slowly approached him.

"W-what happened? Are you alright?" her voice was a little hoarse. Even though she could see that he was not wounded, she still held his arms as she looked at him worriedly, searching all over to see if there were wounds he was hiding.

"I'm fine." Yu Chen was speaking casually as usual. "This is nothing serious," he assured but the way he was treating this like this was just some little day to day accidental occurrence was making Luo Xiaolei feel extremely upset. She badly wanted to say something but she swallowed her words and just stared at him, biting her lips hard.

"Uhm… Miss, please excuse me." Dr. Yang was the one who spoke. "Even though he is not wounded, we still need to check to make sure he's not suffering from internal bleeding, considering his wound has still not fully recovered."

Hearing Yang Jin's words, Luo Xiaolei quietly stepped back.

Yang Jin then brought Yu Chen towards the underground room which was actually a secret clinic. Luo Xiaolei didn't enter. She just stood there watching them.

Yu Chen's men were looking at each other as they watched their lady boss just standing outside the door. They were pushing each other to approach her but since the brave Gu Wei and her personal driver Guan Ye were inside, there was no one who was brave enough to approach her. Well, they were not scared but they just didn't know what to do or say to her.

After a long time, Gu Wei and Guan Ye stepped out and Luo Xiaolei finally moved. She walked towards the door and when she entered, the men outside finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Xiaolei quietly stepped inside the door just to see another door ten steps away. She walked towards it and held the door handle.

As soon as she pushed the door, she paused because of old man Yu's sudden loud voice.

"Xiao Chen, I'm telling you this again. How long do you intend to keep on delaying? Yu Chen, you have to produce an heir to make those people stop. If you keep delaying like this, they will keep coming at you at full force. You already have an amazing fiancée and you seem to cherish her, so what are you guys still waiting for?! You will be killed too at this rate!!!"

Luo Xiaolei froze. She knew from the start that Yu Chen was looking for a wife because Yu empire needed an heir. But she never thought that the situation was actually this grave.

Hearing the old man's words made her realize just what kind of danger Yu Chen was in. Because the giant family owned empire only had two members and only had Yu Chen as the sole owner, there was one simple way to bring the empire down in one move. It was to kill Yu Chen. After that, there would be nobody left to control it and the empire would inevitably be sliced up like a pie and sold to the highest bidder. Luo Xiaolei understood why the old man was desperate. If Yu Chen at least produced an heir, things wouldn't be this severe.

Luo Xiaolei quietly shut the door and walked out of the room. She stood outside for a while, her mind seemingly occupied with some serious thoughts.

As she stood there, she saw Guan Ye and Gu Wei leisurely drinking a can of beer as they sat on the grass. She watched their backs for a while and her eyes fell on the cans of beer in the plastic bag.

Suddenly, she walked towards them, sat on the grass between the two guys and picked one of the cans, opened it and then gulped it down.

Guan Ye and Gu Wei: ". . .?!!!!"
