Chapter 3: A slave
She watched as Li Roulan walked holding the arms of her father in the wedding dress that Li Xiaolu had created for herself.
She heard Meng Xuimin playing the familiar tune of 'Forever in love with you ' that Li Xiaolu composed for her wedding.
Watching the happy and in love faces of Li Roulan and Chen Yufan as they both said 'I do' and kiss each other as they were declared husband and wife, she felt as if someone was stabing her heart again and again.
After the wedding was done, the couple came to a platform where the reporters surrounded them.
Reporter 1 : "Goddess Li, congratulations on your wedding. We wish you a very happy and blessed married life. You look the most beautiful bride in that enchanting wedding gown. So Goddess Li everybody wants to know is that an LX design? "
Li Xiaolu smiled holding Chen Yufan's hand and nodded, "Thank you so much for your blessing. And yes it is an LX design... "
Reporter 2 : " Goddess Li, then have you met LX ? Can you tell us something about this mysterious LX? "
Li Roulan smiled and was about to answer when Chen Yufan stopped her. He kissed her forehead, "Wife let me.... "
He looked at the reporter, " Well, this mysterious LX that you all want to know about is none other than my wife, Li Roulan... "
Everybody gasped. "No wonder that every new design made by LX was worn by Goddess Li. "
"She is not only a good actress but also a very talented designer. "
"Only a man like Young Master Chen can be paired with out Goddess Li... "
Reporter 2 : " Young Master Chen how do you feel getting married to our Goddess Li? "
Chen Yufan smiled embracing Roulan. He looked at her lovingly as she blushed, " She is everything that I can ask for and I love her very much. "
Reporter 3 : "Mr. Li what do you feel about your daughter's wedding? "
A proud smile appeared on Mr. Li's face, " I feel proud that she is my daughter. And I am very happy that she got married to an amazing person who would take care of her as I did... "
Listening to all these words, Li Xiaolu scoffed. Isn't she their daughter? Isn't she their blood? Then why?
Li Xiaolu cried cursing herself for being a fool and naive person. She cursed herself for not seeing the relationship between Chen Yufan and Li Roulan.
Simply closing her eyes, Li Xiaolu wished she could get out of here and tell the whole world about what the Li family had done. But even if she did, who would believe her? Nobody knew about her existence....
Suddenly the door opened and Li Xiaolu saw three shadows coming in. Someone turned on the lights when Li Xiaolu saw three people in front of her.
"My dead elder sister, aren't you going to give your beloved younger sister blessing? How was my wedding? " Li Roulan asked as she twired around in her wedding dress.
Looking at the smug smile on Roulan and Xuimin faces, Li Xiaolu sneered, "Of course it was a very wonderful wedding. A thief and a sc.u.m you surely make a lovely couple...."
The smile on their faces faded as Roulan gripped her swollen cheek, "A mere slave of the Li family..... you sure are bold to disgrace your master."
Li Xiaolu winced in pain but still retorted boldly, " The truth hurts isn't it? What would you do if one day it comes out? "
Meng Xuimin laughed, "How naive!! Xiaolu... How naive of you to think that we would keep you alive for that to happen. "
Li Xiaolu face paled as she looked at Roulan, "W-what do you m-mean? "
Li Roulan laughed, "What do you think? "
Li gripped her chair as she shook her head, "N-no no.... y-you c-can't do that..... You need me...."
"I don't think we need you Xiaolu... " Roulan laughed, "Give me one good reason... May be I'll let you live? "
Li Xiaolu shivered as she spoke, "Y-you need me to a-act as an s-substitute for you... "
Li Roulan crossed her arms as she smiled evily, " I don't think so. I am already the Goddess Li of their heart... "
Xuimin laughed as she poked hard on Li Xiaolu's head," Think Xiaolu..... think harder.Aren't you the most talented one among us... think then"
Feeling the pain in her head, tears fell from her eyes, "You need me to compose songs for you... "
Xuimin laughed takimg a book out and waving it infront of her," Oh my dear Xiaolu do you remember what is this? "
Li Xiaolu narrowed her eyes as she looked at the book infront of her. That's my diary...
Seeing the realization look on Li Xiaolu's face, Xuimin smirked, " It's your diary Xiaolu and it contains many song for me to sing so I don't need you.... "
"It's your last chance my dear elder sister, think something that may save your life? And Hurry up.... I have a honeymoon to go to.... "
