Capítulo 31: Discovered

Mondial Studios. Wan Jia walked into the building with light steps like it was holy ground. She took the elevator to the twentieth floor. Mr. Baker had arranged someone to show her around the studio.

"You must be Miss Wan Jia, hello. Mr. Baker asked me to show you around." A pretty secretary greeted her as soon as she got out of the elevator. She jovially showed her to various departments and finally to the design department. Wan Jia entered the office and sat at her station.

However, her first day of work wouldn't end before she got into some trouble.

"Well, well....if it isn't the least welcome employee ." the other party snorted.

Wan Jia turned around and it was Mo Zilian. She leaned against the door in her terribly bright red skirt and her eight inch high heels. She had thick make up and bright red lips to match her outfit.

Wan Jia rolled her eyes. Was there no better time for this woman to appear?

"Oh, or should I say Mrs. Lu?" She deliberately emphasized 'Mrs. Lu'

The other employees were shocked.

"Huh? Mrs. Lu? Surely it's not THAT Lu ?"

"Not possible. Lu Aotian is divorced."

Hearing the employees' chat, Mo Zilian got even more excited.

"It seems like someone hasn't been living in luxury ever since she got dumped, huh?"

Wan Jia humphed. "Is your brain fried, Miss Mo? Were you so heartbroken when Lu Aotian dumped you that you think every other person his ex?"

Gasps filled the air. Mo Zilian was dumped by Lu Aotian?

"You! Who did you just say was dumped?"

Wan Jia had hit her sore spot. Back when she was sent to seduce Lu Aotian, she had actually truly fallen in love with him but Lu Aotian naturally wouldn't tolerate her after all the chaos she caused. She tried to get back together with him when Wan Jia left but had been humiliated thoroughly. Now, she could only look on jealously and guiltily and wish she had forfeited the evil plans back then.

However, she felt the gods had shown her favor by sending Wan Jia to her father's studio. She wasn't going to hesitate to make things really unbearable for her. Initially she wasn't sure who of the two identical girls was Lu Aotian's wife. In fact, it was already too much luck for her to find out about the existence of someone who looked exactly like Mrs. Lu. Wan Jia's reaction, however, made her a bit doubtful. Why did she act like she wasn't the right Mrs. Lu? Had that damn man lied to her? She had only recieved a photo of Wan Jia and Mr. Baker having a meal together and a caption stating that Mrs. Lu would be working in Mondial Studios very soon. She immediately believed it but now she wasn't quite sure anymore. Why would that person really tell her the truth? They weren't even close. Was it a prank? The consequences would be dire if he dared lie to her!

Of course Mo Zilian knew nothing about Little Jia, whose existence Lu Aotian had kept completely under wraps.

To avoid the substitution issue blowing up in future, Lu Aotian purposely did not reveal his wife's name.

Actually Lu Aotian wasn't afraid of Mo Zilian torturing Wan Jia, she was stubborn enough to handle such small fry thanks to his 'bullying'. He was afraid the masterminds from years ago might make a move on her.

Whoever it was had after all wanted to finish the entire Lu family and there were still three major survivors. Wan Jia and little Jia were both vulnerable and their lives could easily be in danger if their relationship with him was revealed.

...

Southside Villas.

Villa number 4.

Little Jia threw herself into her mother's arms as soon as she arrived.

"Mommy you're back! Daddy suddenly turned into an ice statue. Do you know how we can fix him?" The little girl looked so sad she was about to cry.

Wan Jia's gaze shifted to Lu Aotian who was sitted on the sofa. Pfft! that look. No wonder Little Jia thought he had turned into an ice statue.

Eer this was...difficult... how was she supposed to fix her baby's Daddy? He looked so cold that even she was scared to approach him. Just what on earth happened?

"Baby, go to your room for a while, let me talk to your father for a while, okay?"

"Yes Mommy." she kissed her and ran upstairs in her little steps.

Wan Jia bit her lip and sat next to him nervously.

"What happened?"

"Wanwan, who is Lawyer An?" He asked without even looking at her.

Wan Jia's heart skipped a beat. Had he found out?

'Deep breaths, deep breaths. He'll only find out if you admit it. Calm down, calm down, calm down...'

"Erm, Lawyer An? Who is that? I....don't have any lawyer friend."

Lu Aotian shot her an icy cold glare.

"I really don't. Maybe I met one and forgot? I meet many people everyday, you know."

"Wan Jia!" He gritted his teeth. If his look was proportional to atmospheric temperature, the entire estate would have been frozen to icicles by now.

Wan Jia was stunned. This was a very foreign way of adressing her. She knew he was truly angry. No need to ask, he found out everything.

"Aotian I..."

"Leave."

"What?" He was asking her to leave?

"So much for letting you get close to my daughter. I was very stupid. No, I was extremely stupid." He stood to leave.

"Lu Aotian, he's just someone I met once or twice. I didn't actually plan to.... Well...I did plan at first, but gave up." Her tears were already falling freely. She tugged onto his sleeve to beg. If he really forbade her from seeing her daughter then she would really die...

"Let go!" He shrugged her off. "I'm giving you thirty minutes to be out of here."
