Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Hiring You Meng as the Nanny

Upon arriving at the entrance of the manor, Lu Li found You Meng standing stiffly at the doorway, her eyes dark and red, sparkling with tears and looking sorrowful.

“Lu Li!” Chen Xiaoyi called out with concern.

Lu Li had already disclosed to her yesterday that this woman was a spy sent by that bastard Ye Chen, so she harbored no good feelings towards You Meng.

“Xiaoyi, go to work by yourself today!” Lu Li got out of the car.

Seeing Chen Xiaoyi looking at him worriedly warmed his heart. Everyone liked being favored like this, and he was no exception. It was what Lu Li yearned for, yet he could only helplessly shake his head.

“Forget it, take a day off today and let’s hear what she has to say!”

“Mm!” Chen Xiaoyi glared at You Meng, her heart filled with thoughts of her beloved man. Why should he suffer because of these bad women, whether it’s that woman Zhang Ziqin or You Meng standing before them now.

The car turned back into the manor, and You Meng followed them in.

Just as they entered the Lu family manor and stepped inside the house, You Meng threw herself at them, her eyes brimming with tears as she choked up, “Big brother, I really love you. I’ve been thinking about you ever since we parted. Please, don’t make me leave; I just want to stay by your side.”

Her pitiful appearance made Lu Li’s gaze flicker slightly. Even though his heart held a grudge against You Meng for killing him in his past life (in the story! It was Ye Chen who killed him), seeing the rare warmth in his heart begging so pitifully softened him for a moment.

“Did you accomplish the task I assigned you?” He wouldn’t be swayed by just a hug.

“Big brother…” You Meng knelt down in despair in front of Lu Li, “I’ve dealt with the people from the Zhao family, but, but Ye Chen escaped. I couldn’t kill him…”

Killing Ye Chen was big brother’s command. You Meng was scared, fearing that she hadn’t completed the task given by big brother and that he wouldn’t accept her.

“So, you mean you didn’t accomplish it?” Lu Li’s eyes narrowed slightly. To be honest, he was already surprised that You Meng actually managed to kill those from the Zhao family. This already proved that he hadn’t misjudged her; the You Meng from yesterday wasn’t acting.

Hearing this, You Meng trembled and quickly took out two fingers wrapped up from her pocket, “Big brother, I’m incompetent. I could only cut off two of Ye Chen’s fingers. Please, please don’t send me away. Next time, I will definitely deal with Ye Chen. Xiao Meng just wants to stay by big brother’s side.”

“Is this… Ye Chen’s?”

“Mm! Big brother, I promise, next time I will definitely kill Ye Chen. Please don’t send me away, okay?” When had the famous ‘Dark Moon’ been so humble? In front of Lu Li, You Meng abandoned all her pride.

Without responding to You Meng’s words, Lu Li examined the fingers she held up, “I’ll determine whether these two fingers belong to Ye Chen.”

If they truly belonged to Ye Chen, that would be an unexpected joy. He had never hoped for You Meng to actually be able to kill Ye Chen.

“Did you handle the aftermath with the Zhao family?” He looked at the woman before him with a deep gaze.

Hearing Lu Li’s question, You Meng nodded, “I handled it. I put Ye Chen’s fingerprints on the dagger. Everyone will believe Ye Chen killed the people from the Zhao family.”

He silently nodded. This matter was easy to investigate. If You Meng used such a thing to deceive him, that would be too foolish.

“Are you sure, you weren’t touched by Ye Chen?” If this woman had been touched by Ye Chen and only said she thought of him after seeing him, Lu Li would only feel disgust, repulsion.

“No, my body, my heart, my soul, they all belong to big brother. I have never been touched by any man.” You Meng shook her head nervously, as if afraid Lu Li wouldn’t believe her and quickly added, “I can prove it to big brother right now.”

Lu Li slowly closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them and looked at the anxious You Meng, his voice slightly gentler, “Get up!”

“Big brother…”

“I believe what you’ve said.” Killing the female lead’s family and moving against Ye Chen, these were things he could find out about right away. Although You Meng’s words were extreme, displaying an obsession that seemed to only exist in novels, he quite liked it.

“Then, big brother…”

“From now on, you’ll stay at my house, as a nanny. I happen to need a servant.”

“Thank you, big brother, thank you so much.” You Meng’s eyes welled up with excited tears. She had worked for Ye Chen for so long, and this time, even though she hadn’t fulfilled big brother’s request to deal with Ye Chen, big brother still allowed her to stay by his side.

“As long as I can stay by big brother’s side, anything is fine.”

Lu Li slowly closed his eyes again, his heart also complex. The murderer who killed him in his past life had now come to his side this life, displaying such a lovestruck appearance. Truly, life is full of uncertainties, a twist of fate indeed!

He knew what he liked was this kind of favoritism, but if he forgave You Meng today, would he be able to forgive that bitch Zhang Ziqin next time?

“No, absolutely impossible. In my previous life, I indeed never mentioned my name in front of You Meng; her not recognizing me and what she did is understandable, but Zhang Ziqin…that woman is my sworn enemy. The humiliation time after time, that heart-wrenching pain, how could I let it go?”

Remembering the day of the banquet, how Zhang Ziqin had poured that cold glass of red wine, leaving him aside to happily chat with Ye Chen, a surge of malevolence arose within Lu Li.

No one dictated that Zhang Ziqin had to fall in love with him, but if she didn’t love him, why hurt him? Enjoying the conveniences brought by him, relishing the emotions he had sacrificed everything to offer. To change his destiny, Lu Li had even fallen in love with Zhang Ziqin sincerely. But what did Zhang Ziqin do? While enjoying, she hurt him; possibly, she felt exhilarated by the attention, perhaps even smug about having such a devoted follower!

Heh!

“Lu Li…” Chen Xiaoyi held Lu Li’s hand worriedly.

“It’s alright. But are you okay? You weren’t scared, were you?” Stability returning to his tumultuous emotions, Lu Li stroked Chen Xiaoyi’s hair.

“I’m fine.” The moment You Meng mentioned she had killed the entire Zhao family, she was indeed frightened, not to mention the two fingers of Ye Chen.

But You Meng adjusted quickly. As long as it was what Lu Li wished for, that was what Chen Xiaoyi intended to do.

If it were her, she would also ruthlessly deal with those people.

“Throw these dirty things away to feed the dogs.” He commanded You Meng, his tone neither gentle nor distant but carrying a trace of coldness.

As the woman said, as long as she could stay by his side, anything was fine. Being a maid was also staying by his side.
