Chapter 41 She's Going All Out

Luo Tingwei covered her hand, frozen in place. After a moment, she immediately questioned the person who had entered.

What are you doing?

It's one thing for Li Yanzhou to bully her, but what kind of person is this woman anyway?

The woman was taken aback by her arrogance; she hadn't expected her to have such a temper, and for a moment she was speechless.

The next second, the woman immediately looked at the man beside her with feigned grievance, "Young Master Li, look at her..."

"She's just a maid, yet she has such a bad temper. She has no manners at all. I only lost my grip because I was burned by the tea."

"The cup is insulated, how did you get burned?"

Luo Tingwei pressed on relentlessly.

That's enough.

Seeing that the back of her hand was only slightly red and she was still able to argue with others with great energy, Li Yanzhou knew that the burn was not very serious.

Then, his voice turned stern, and he called out to her in a warning tone, "Luo Tingwei."

Luo Tingwei raised her head, thinking that he would at least understand the situation and uphold justice, but she was met only with the cold glint in the man's eyes.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to talk back here?"

Li Yanzhou sneered, "Or are you just thinking of going back to your basement?"

"you……"

Luo Tingwei was surprised that he not only didn't want to help her, but instead brought up the basement to scare her, which made her feel angry and aggrieved.

A flood of emotions welled up inside her, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

That's really unambitious.

Seeing that her eyes were a little wet, Li Yanzhou's heart clenched, but in the end he couldn't bear it and impatiently waved his hand.

"Go downstairs and get some ice."

The female companion beside her did not know Luo Tingwei's identity. She had only heard that a few days ago, a maid had made a mistake and was locked in the basement, but had been released after being renovated.

Li Yanzhou thought that Luo Tingwei's temper should have been tempered enough, so he asked her to come over.

By the way, provoke her with another woman.

Unexpectedly, his female companion became persistent, grabbing his sleeve and pouting.

"No, Young Master Li..."

"She was so arrogant just now. She's just a maid, yet she has no respect for others. Make her kneel down and apologize to me, okay?"

As his clothes were tugged, a flash of disgust quickly crossed the man's eyes.

However, the next second, a playful look appeared in his eyes as he turned to Luo Tingwei.

She wanted to see how this woman would react.

Will he ask her for help?

So he said coldly, "Luo Tingwei, did you hear me? Apologize."

Luo Tingwei felt like she was about to vomit blood. Hearing his words, her initial mix of grievance and anger completely turned into rage.

Should I apologize to her?

"She deliberately didn't hold the cup properly and burned me. Why should I apologize to her? I didn't do anything wrong."

Seeing that she had suddenly turned into a hedgehog, Li Yanzhou became interested and deliberately wanted to test her bottom line, so he still said coldly,

"You upset her, that's wrong."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Tingwei felt not only anger but also a touch of bitterness.

These words actually came from Li Yanzhou's mouth?

This unfamiliar feeling left her somewhat dazed.

She then realized that this was the first time another woman had appeared in his life since she met him.

Seeing her standing there dumbfounded and unmoved, Li Yanzhou's voice grew even colder, like an invisible whip lashing at her.

"If you don't apologize, you can go back to the basement right now."

Luo Tingwei was, after all, the proud and arrogant eldest daughter of the Luo family; how could she possibly kneel down and apologize to someone?

Besides, she did nothing wrong.

It was that woman who was making things difficult for her.

As a woman herself, how could she not see what that woman's feelings were for Li Yanzhou?

When she looked at him, the love in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Since that's the case, since they've teamed up to bully her, she's going to mess things up.

Nobody can expect to have an easy time.

Thinking this, her emotions suddenly erupted in an instant.

"Li Yanzhou, are you even human?!"

Luo Tingwei rushed up and started tearing at his clothes, beginning her act, and tears naturally welled up in her eyes.

"You forced yourself on me, then forced me to have an abortion, locked me in the basement to recover after childbirth, and now that I've only lost my baby a month ago, you're deliberately torturing and humiliating me like this. Are you even human?"

"And who is this woman?"

"You promised you'd love only me forever, so why did this woman appear after only a month?!"

After saying that, Luo Tingwei glared fiercely at the woman opposite her and bluntly stated,

"Let me tell you, he has kissed every part of my body. You can imagine where he left his mark. I hope you won't feel disgusted when you kiss him."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The female companion stared wide-eyed in utter shock, thinking she had misheard—wasn't she just a maid?

The woman glanced tentatively and cautiously at the man beside her, only to find that his deep eyes had narrowed quietly at some point, and the corners of his lips had lifted into a very slight curve.

It wasn't a smile, but an expression that fell somewhere between interest and danger.

It was like scrutinizing someone, like savoring something.

Or perhaps it's more like...appreciation?

"Young Master Li, is what she said true?"

The woman asked cautiously.

Li Yanzhou didn't even glance at her; his gaze remained fixed on Luo Tingwei, his thin lips slightly upturned.

"Um."

He actually admitted it.

This was unexpected for Luo Tingwei.

Why did he admit it? Shouldn't he have refuted it? He himself ruined his chances with his girlfriend.

Based on the fact that he just made her apologize, she could tell that he cared about this woman and her joys and sorrows.

But why is he showing such indifference and perfunctoriness at this moment, so different from his previous attitude towards her?

In an instant, the woman's expression turned ugly, revealing her utter embarrassment.

Li Yanzhou showed her absolutely no respect, and didn't even bother to be polite in public.

The next second, the man stood up from the sofa, his tall figure emanating an overwhelming aura as he walked step by step toward Luo Tingwei.

Luo Tingwei instinctively stepped back.

He gripped her waist. "Why are you hiding?"

She was afraid he would become enraged and attack her.

Li Yanzhou smiled like a fox, "I'm so sorry, I made you lose a child. I'll give you another one, okay?"

Luo Tingwei was panicking. No, no, the plot shouldn't be going this way.

Looking sideways, two bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and silently dragged the woman, who was still stunned on the sofa, off the sofa.

Okay, now it's just him and her left.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the air.

"Li Yanzhou, what are you trying to do?"

When no one else was around, she stopped pretending.

The man pressed closer, until he cornered her, then leaned down and whispered mockingly in her ear.

"I've noticed that spending so much time in the basement hasn't made you dull or stupid; on the contrary, it's made you even better at piquing my interest."
