After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 21.3

This time she was certain this person was truly drunk.

Sheng Xia laughed too sillily, directly pushing the inner voices of other people out. This made it so that Lu Wanxing, looking at Sheng Xia, had no way to maintain a wooden face, but was instead somewhat infected by Sheng Xia’s laughter.

Although Lu Wanxing concealed it very well, that slightly gentle look still made Xu Mei on the side feel secretly amazed.

It seemed this bodyguard was still somewhat special. Usually outside, Lu Wanxing always had a cold face. Every time she finished resolving a matter, she would leave directly. Where would she give anyone a good face?

“Go, go back.” Although Sheng Xia looked very sober now, Lu Wanxing was worried she would really burst out laughing in the next second.

However, her worry seemed redundant. While in the car, Sheng Xia did not go wild from the alcohol; she just sat quietly, then stared straight at Lu Wanxing.

She just watched the whole way, and then from time to time a silly laughter came from her heart. Lu Wanxing endured but failed to restrain herself, asking: “What are you laughing at?”

A-Biao in the front and the ghosts in the livestream: “???”

Who laughed?

Sheng Xia’s eyes were bright, and when she spoke, her voice was soft: “Eldest Miss, you are so beautiful.”

“Seeing you makes me happy.”

A-Biao driving in the front felt a chill, and the driver’s hand also shook, almost turning the steering wheel too much: “Sorry Eldest Miss, my hand slipped just now.”

As he spoke, he looked at the road in front of him, and then pricked up his ears to hear what was going on in the back.

“En, I know. Be a bit quiet.” Lu Wanxing pursed her lips, turned her head, and did not say anything more.

This inexplicable conversation made A-Biao doubt who exactly was the one drunk. Seeing from the rearview mirror that Sheng Xia had her head lowered and was somewhat drowsy looking as cute and harmless as his family’s kitten his “younger sister complex” ignited again.

He thought Sheng Xia was about to fall asleep, but the moment the car stopped, Sheng Xia’s gaze instantly became much colder. The housekeeper Uncle Li, who was down by the car, was frightened by her look.

“Eldest Miss, we must pay attention to safety. Wait for me to get out of the car and look first.” Her eyes were full of seriousness. Lu Wanxing did not want to argue with a drunkard and nodded.

After getting out of the car, Sheng Xia looked around. When she closed her eyes, all the small surrounding sounds were taken in. Someone was weeding in the courtyard, the kitchen had already started cooking, and the peering gazes had no malice; the danger was resolved.

“We have arrived home; there is no need to be so tense.” Seeing Sheng Xia always keeping her nerves taut, A-Biao could not help but say a sentence. If even the base was not safe, then they really shouldn’t be working.

Just as he finished speaking, Sheng Xia shook her head: “Someone has come to the house. She is… scolding the Eldest Miss.”

A-Biao felt Sheng Xia was truly drunk. The main gate was still far from the living room; how could she know someone had come?

Only Uncle Li’s expression was startled. He said in a low voice: “Eldest Miss, someone has come from the side branch’s side.”

Lu Wanxing pondered: “Is it Second Aunt?”

Uncle Li nodded. At that moment, the look in everyone’s eyes as they looked at Sheng Xia changed. The people in the livestream room were already worried about whether Sheng Xia would be taken for dissection.

Fortunately, Lu Wanxing also did not care about this matter now and directly entered the living room.

“Second Aunt.”

The woman on the sofa was considered quite pretty. It was a pity her fashion sense was not very good. That “more upstart than an upstart” temperament looked out of place in this elegantly decorated living room. Especially her gaze carried a sharp meanness, and her tone was also not good.

“Where did you go? Why took so long to come back? Do you know how long I have waited for you?!”

Lu Wanxing seemed to have already become accustomed to her tone and did not care.

Unexpectedly, this silence was mistaken by Sheng Xia as her not knowing, and she answered: “Waited for approximately one minute.”

Wu Caifeng’s face turned shades of red and green. She vented her anger directly toward Sheng Xia: “Who are you? Where do you have the standing to speak here?”

This was clearly being infuriated because the truth had been exposed. Uncle Li and A-Biao felt relieved in their hearts.

I spit! You only know how to come and throw a tantrum! Not indulging you!

“Second Aunt, if you have something to come for, just say it directly.” Lu Wanxing changed the subject and poured her a cup of tea.

“Drink what drink? I’m already full from anger.” She still had the mind to want to give this insensible bodyguard a lesson.

To her surprise, Lu Wanxing did not cooperate. After the other party refused, she did not get angry either, drinking by herself while waiting for Wu Caifeng to speak for herself.

Sure enough, in the end, it was Wu Caifeng who first could not keep her composure, with a black face: “Your cousin wants to enter the company. You arrange a position for him.”

“You can just speak with Uncle Zhang directly.” After speaking, Lu Wanxing thought of something and looked up at Wu Caifeng.

She had handed over the handling of other companies to Zhang Wenquan. That was the executive president she had hired. He did things steadily, so Lu Wanxing gave the other party a lot of executive power. Arranging for someone to enter the company did not require her personal inquiry.

If Wu Caifeng personally came to find her, it indicated what she wanted was not to enter Lu Fengnian’s company.

Sure enough, Wu Caifeng’s eyes flickered a bit, but she quickly regained her composure: “I want your cousin to enter Time Entertainment.”

Lu Wanxing put the cup on the coffee table and did not speak, pouring her another cup: “No.”

Her tone was indifferent: “You can pick any of the Lu family’s companies, but Time Entertainment is not allowed.”

Such a straightforward refusal made the always-gets-what-she-wants Wu Caifeng feel humiliated in her heart: “Why not? Isn’t Time Entertainment currently under your hand? Letting your cousin in is just a matter of one sentence.”

“Why not, Second Aunt, don’t you know?” Lu Wanxing looked up, her gaze calm without a trace of emotion.

It’s this dead look again. Wu Caifeng cursed secretly in her heart, unable to suppress her anger: “Your mother married into the Lu family; then she is a person of the Lu family. Why can’t we enter her company?”

Over these years, the side branches had been entering Lu Fengnian’s company one after another, and many people were also placed there, but the returns were not high. By contrast, it was the Time Entertainment operated by Lu Wanxing that was developing better and better.

Although they did not want to admit it, they indeed did not have many who knew how to do business. Now that Lu Fengnian’s company’s returns were getting worse and worse, they could not help but turn their attention to Time Entertainment.

“Lu Wanxing, don’t you forget what your surname is. If you turn your elbow outward, aren’t you afraid of being poked in the spine?” Her appetite had been spoiled by Lu Wanxing these few years. Usually, she got whatever she wanted. When she came, she had even guaranteed success; if she went back empty-handed, how embarrassing it would be!

No matter how loud Wu Caifeng’s voice was, Lu Wanxing still calmly drank her tea, making the shouting person appear like a jumping clown.

Only after the person finished venting did Lu Wanxing say: “But the owner of Time Entertainment’s surname is Shi, not Lu.”

Perhaps because she knew what routine the other party was accustomed to using, she did not allow Wu Caifeng to continue speaking: “No matter what you say, I will not agree.”

Lu Wanxing’s expression was firm, and the depths of her eyes also carried several traces of coldness.

This matter ultimately touched her “reverse scale” and also startled Wu Caifeng into realizing that quarreling like this would yield no result.

But she was unwilling to return empty-handed: “Then your cousin just graduated this year. Am I not supposed to arrange a job for him?”

“En.” After responding, Lu Wanxing also did not speak, quietly listening to Wu Caifeng’s repeated angry scolding, closing her eyes to feign sleep.

She did not want to listen, yet she had no choice but to listen.

Weariness appeared between Lu Wanxing’s eyebrows. After the person had left, she pushed her wheelchair, intending to go to the courtyard to be quiet for a while.

Sheng Xia followed without asking more, just watching her thin back; her brain had turned into a mess of paste.

Uncle Li seemed to know Lu Wanxing’s habit, having people set up the paint and drawing paper over by the courtyard, and adjusting the lights to the appropriate angles.

In the past, after Wu Caifeng came, the Eldest Miss usually stayed for a whole day, and they all sensibly left. Seeing Sheng Xia still standing there, Uncle Li originally wanted to go over and take her away. But he was stopped by A-Biao, who shook his head at him.

Lu Wanxing also did not speak to drive her away; they just watched her from not far away.

Watching her painting that elm tree year after year, as if it was the one planted by the Madam over twenty years ago. Now it had already grown very high. The tree’s shadow fell upon Lu Wanxing’s body in patches of light and dark, but there was not a trace of light on her drawing paper.

When Lu Wanxing painted, she would have everyone else move far away, so she would not be disturbed by the voices in their hearts. She knew Sheng Xia had followed, but thinking her inner thoughts could not be heard, she also ignored her.

Only a long while later, the originally low-pressured Lu Wanxing could not help but glance at her from the side: “What are you thinking?”

She suspected whether Sheng Xia was performing a segment of B-box in her heart; otherwise, how could there be a biubiubiubo sound?

…boing boing boing.

Sheng Xia stared at the drawing paper for a long time before saying, “I’m wondering when the light in the painting will arrive.”

Lu Wanxing looked at the twisted branches on the paper. “Then why were you making those sound effects?”

“Before, when I slept at night, there would be music like that. Usually, when the music ends, daytime arrives.” Sheng Xia lowered her head slightly, her tone filled with earnestness.

In the live broadcast room, although the “ghosts” were somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Wanxing was asking such questions, none of them considered the possibility that she could read minds.

“And what if daytime never comes?” Lu Wanxing’s voice was soft, unsure of whom she was truly asking.

She didn’t wait for Sheng Xia to answer. Realizing that Sheng Xia’s current drunken state allowed her to hear the girl’s inner thoughts, Lu Wanxing asked intentionally, “How much money did the Old Madam give you to follow me?”

Unfortunately, when people drink too much, their hearing seems to decline along with their coordination. Sheng Xia completely failed to hear Lu Wanxing’s question; instead, she appeared to be mentally preparing herself for something big.

She slapped her chest with an air of righteousness. “Eldest Miss! Let me perform my specialty for you!”

“Huh?” Lu Wanxing didn’t understand how the conversation had jumped to this. She watched as Sheng Xia tossed her coat aside and stood at attention with a salute.

“Eldest Miss, let me do the splits for you!” With a shua sound, Sheng Xia dropped into a perfect cross-split. Standing nearby, Ah Biao was startled by the sight, fearing this might hit a sore spot after all, showing off such athleticism in front of someone with a leg disability was bound to be somewhat unpleasant.

However, Lu Wanxing wasn’t angry. Her gaze was somewhat dazed because she had just heard Sheng Xia’s inner thought: she was desperately trying to figure out how to make Lu Wanxing happy.

“You…” This was the first time someone had tried to cheer her up with this kind of performance. Seeing Sheng Xia bow like a seal that had just finished balancing a ball on its nose, Lu Wanxing did find it rather amusing.

Seeing Lu Wanxing smile, Sheng Xia shouted again, “Eldest Miss, I can even do backflips!”

“Wait a minute!” Lu Wanxing tried to stop her, but as soon as the words left Sheng Xia’s mouth, her body leaned back and she launched into a backflip.

Moving in a straight line without stopping, Lu Wanxing watched as Sheng Xia flipped her way right into the fountain.

With a loud splash, the entire courtyard fell instantly silent.

Lu Wanxing: “…”

Very good. No splash. (Zero entry).
