Capítulo 5: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Last time, Young Master Lu treated another family's kid like trash, by directly expelling him out from the gates of his mansion…
This time…
The butler asked him, "Should I send her to the gate?"
"Up to you," Lu Junhan didn't want to waste any more time. "The banquet's about to begin. Don't let me see her one more time."
With that, he mercilessly yanked Lu Li's hand off his sleeve and walked away without looking back.
The small hand was very tender. It felt like a delicate piece of tofu as if he could break them apart if he applied enough force. He didn't notice that he acted much more gently with her, perhaps in an attempt to prevent hurting her.
When Lu Li saw what her daddy did to her, her eyes instantly became wet as tears poured out from her eyes. Her already dirty face became more like that of a poor little kitten's.
She chased after him, but she simply could not keep up with his pace. She was hungry and tired, which was also partly why she was falling behind. Out of desperation, she cried out, "Daddy, wait for Lili! Don't throw me away, daddy…"
Lu Junhan stopped in his tracks, but he still didn't turn around. A moment later, he continued walking, leaving behind Lu Li who was looking at him eagerly.
The butler stared at Lu Li with shock in his eyes
This situation was...not what he had expected.
Young Master Lu had only told him to send her to the gate. Compared to the kids from before, who were thrown out without given the chance to explain themselves, her punishment was considered to be quite light.
Perhaps little girls were given special treatments by the boss?
Lu Junhan's figure quickly disappeared at the door. The butler looked at Lu Li who was still staring in that direction eagerly. He began thinking of a way to make her stop crying.
But Lu Li was quite a good girl. When she saw her daddy leave her behind, she raised her little arm and wiped away the tears on her face.
When he saw that, the butler heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like she's a good girl at least.
In truth, Lu Li was hurt by her daddy's reaction.
No wonder mummy said it would be a challenge to get close with Daddy.
Mummy had to invest a very long time before she managed to get her hands on Daddy. As a fish that had gone through reincarnation 25 times, she still needed to remain patient.
After all, Mummy said, 'revenge is a dish best served cold'.
Daddy has a few loose screws in his head, and this would be the reason why he would receive a heavy beating in the future!
As fishes, they need to be flexible in order to survive the rolling tide!
The butler loved children. Seeing how cute and likable Lu Li was, he didn't feel like shoving her around cold-heartedly.
He turned towards the staff. "You all have seen what happened. Young Master Lu is feeling particularly kind today. He doesn't seem like he'll be inquiring into this incident. Now, be honest with me and speak up!"
The butler's sharp eyes scanned everyone's face and he said, "Who was the one that brought this child in?"
All the maids and bodyguards glanced at each other, but no one dared to say another word.
After working for Lu Junhan for years, the butler had also picked up parts of his imposing demeanor. He smiled coldly and told them, "It's fine if you keep quiet. But if I find out who is responsible for this, I will fire all of you..."
"Uncle."
Suddenly, a small hand tugged at his sleeves. He wasn't sure when the little girl had walked over to him. She said to the butler softly, "I climbed over the wall myself. The big brothers and big sisters didn't have anything to do with this. Please don't blame them, okay? If you're angry, hit me, I can take the pain."
The little girl's eyes were red, and they were still wet with tears. She sniffed, and her big eyes became watery again. Her eyelashes were wet from all the crying. They fluttered as she blinked. The girl was so cute that it almost made them melt away.
